A/N: No guesses for my quiz. Do you even read my endnotes(who knew that was one word?)? The answer is they don't cover all colours, for example, black. Now, those of you who go to the forum will know what these two chapters are all about, but I wont say anymore for those who don't yet know. I've just checked my reviews, and discovered this monster wasn't submitted, but I'm sure it was, if anybody recognizes it, let me know.

Chapter 12; The Ancient Being, SOS! Part 1

Nyura, Sudos, Krowa, Sketch, and hundreds of Armens were drilling and digging at Mt. Mortar.

"And you are certain we will find it here?" Nyura asked, and Sketch nodded, pulling out an old looking scroll.

"Yes, my Queen. According to this scroll, sometime between 80 and 90 years ago, the ancient pokemon Aerodactyl was resurrected. But something was wrong. The scientists who brought it back to life discovered they had used a single strand of unidentified DNA. As a result, it became a fearsome beast, which appeared to be part-man, part-Aerodactyl. The beast raged, destroying most of Kanto, before moving on to Johto. It was then stopped, by an unknown force, and imprisoned in a secret cave here, at Mt. Mortar. It is impossible for it to have escaped alone, and this scroll is the only record of its location, and you obtained almost instantly after it was made, didn't you?" Sketch asked.

"That's right. And if that scrolls right, then the power this monster possesses will be enough to take down all six of the Poke Rangers!" Nyura said, and started laughing. Sketch would have, but he expected Nyura to hit him if he did.

"Why aren't you laughing!" Nyura demanded of him, whacking him round the head, and he fell to the floor.

"Well, well, well. So that's your plan is it?" Nyura heard someone mock, and she span around.

"YOU!" she hissed, enraged by the Black Rangers mere presence.

"ATTACK!" she then screeched, and Sudos, Krowa, and the Armens obliged. Kris was unfazed by this however, and merely summoned both his weapons, blasting the Armens running at him to ash, sword fighting with Sudos, and kicking Krowa repeatedly with both legs at once. Eventually, all the Armens were destroyed, so Kris turned the Darkness Blaster on Sudos and Krowa, who were conveniently both coming from the same side. He blasted them with such a force that they were shot into the mountain, causing an explosion and a landslide. This caused Kris to become slightly scared, so he immediately teleported.

Meanwhile, the landslide came to an almost instant halt. The four waited anxiously, and when the dust had cleared, they saw a huge clearing. They then heard a screech, and something flew at them, landing just before them.

"Which of you was it that freed me from my prison?" the beast asked, in a surprisingly man-like voice. It had the basic form of a man, covered in grey scales. It had purple wings, which had their own pair of hands, giving it two pairs. Its face exactly matched that of an Aerodactyl.

"It was I, the Ice Queen, Nyura!" Nyura said, rushing forward. The beast bowed.

"Then I owe you my eternal gratitude. I am known as Dark Dactyle(A/N: I hope that's right. I distinctly remember reading this in a review). From this day forward, I shall do your bidding, in the hopes of repaying my debt," it said.

"Excellent. Your first task shall be to destroy the Poke Rangers," Nyura said, and Dark Dactyle shrieked, and spoke in a screechy voice that better suited its appearance.

"The Poke Rangers! My Queen, I shall destroy them with great pleasure, I shall crush them into particles!" it cried, and Nyura was taken aback.

"Do you know them then?" she asked, almost scared.

"It was those brats that first imprisoned me!" Dactyle screamed.

"Really? This will be easier than I thought…"

Meanwhile, the Poke Rangers, along with Donny and Carl, were on holiday at the Moomoo Ranch, North of Olivine City. They were there for free as a gift from Whitney, whose cousin owned it. Of course, they hadn't expected to have to do work, but five of them were enjoying themselves still. No prizes for guessing who wasn't.

"This sucks. So much for a vacation!" Carl said, as he and Donny struggled to carry a bucket of Miltank milk between them, as did Donny's Mankey and Carls Heracross.

"Tell me about it! I'd rather be at work!" Donny moaned.

"Oh, stop your complaining, guys!" Eddie said, as he and his Donphan walked past, carrying two buckets in each hand or trunk.

"Yeah! A little bit of hard work never hurt anyone!" Kurtis said, also carrying four buckets, walking with his Breloom.

"And you two could sure use the exercise!" Anna joked, as she, Sabrina, Greg and their pokemon walked past.

Donny and Carl walked back to the barn as fast as they could, and picked up six buckets each. Of course, neither of them could hold the weight, and staggered around, eventually spilling the buckets over each other. As punishment, Whitney's cousin had them clear up the Miltank's faeces, however, the Rangers thought that was a bit harsh, and Donny and Carl thought it was illegally harsh, and in the end they persuaded him to just have them milk the (unfriendly) Miltank. The Rangers and their pokemon then carried on bringing the milk up to the farmhouse.

Meanwhile, back in Goldenrod…

"Ok then, Dark Dactyle, lets see what you can do," Nyura said from in the shadows.

"At once, my Queen. But when will I be able to face the Poke Rangers?" Dactyle asked.

"Oh, don't worry, this will draw them out, you'll be able to crush them shortly," Nyura told it.

Pleased by what it had been told, Dactyle swooped out, a large number of Armens following him, and destroyed everything in sight, much quicker, and with more destruction than anything the Black Ranger, or any of Nyura's monsters had done before.

At the Sanctuary…

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Celebi, Nyura is attacking the city! And according to the Danger Orb, she's with a more powerful monster than we've ever battled before!" Miborg cried.

"That monster seems familiar…" Celebi said under his breath, then addressed Miborg.

"Contact the Rangers," he said.

"But they're on vacation! Oh, I knew this would happen!" he whined.

"Rangers, sorry to disturb you, but Nyura is attacking again!" Miborg told them, and the Rangers sighed.

"Ok, we'll be there as soon as we can," Eddie said, and shut his communicator off. The Rangers then returned their pokemon to their pokeballs.

"Ready guys?" he asked, and they drearily replied, "Ready."

"Morph, I choose you!"

"Green Meganium power!"

"Yellow Ampharos power!"

"Blue Feraligatr power!"

"Pink Espeon power!"

"Red Typhlosion power!"

The Rangers then teleported back to Goldenrod, and Dark Dactyle struck them down on sight.

"Wait - you are not the Rangers who imprisoned me! No matter! I shall still exact my revenge on you!" it yelled, and swooped in for another attack, but Anna created a Reflect force field with her morpher just in time.

"Whoa, what's his problem!" Greg asked.

"I don't know, but I do think we should get our weapons!" Eddie said, and the others nodded.

"Cinder Sabre!"

"Psychic Shooter!"

"Wave Blade!"

"Thunder Stunner!"

"Vine Whip!"

"Your fancy toys wont be nearly enough to stop me!" Dactyle shrieked, and flew down for another strike.

"Oh yeah? Well we'll just see about that! Thunder Stunner, Stun mode!" Sabrina said, and she jammed it into Dactyle when it was near enough.

"Oh stop it! That tickles!" Dactyle laughed in a mocking way.

"Electricity will do almost nothing to it, due to it being rock type, but something tells me you wouldn't be able to paralyse it even if it wasn't," Greg said nervously.

"Well Rock types weak against grass, so it shouldn't stand a chance against my Vine Whip!" Kurtis yelled, and he wrapped it around Dactyle when it came down, but Dactyle felt almost nothing, and just flew off, with the Vine Whip still around it, causing Kurtis to be pulled too. This gave Dactyle a free hit, and it kicked Kurtis down to the ground.

"You ok?" Eddie asked, and Kurtis nodded, before trying to get back up, but falling back down in pain.

"Its also part flying type so it has some resistance against grass, so it wont be as strong," Greg mumbled.

"So why don't you do something, Einstein! Rock types are also weak against water!" Anna yelled, and Greg stood up properly, rather than slouching.

"Water Pulse!" he cried, jamming his weapon into the ground, but nothing happened. Dactyle flew to the ground, far from the Rangers, and watched Greg with an eyebrow raised. Greg still hadn't moved. Dactyle shrugged at the other Rangers, hoping they'd be able to explain this odd behaviour, but Eddie just shrugged back. A moment later, a huge geyser appeared underneath Dactyle, blasting it into the air, and drenching it.

"Whoa! Nice trick, Greg!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"Grah! How could I fall for that? No matter. I'll still obliterate you! Ancient Power!" Dactyle shrieked, and gigantic rocks were hurled at the Rangers, and they were pinned down by a single rock each.

Meanwhile, not too far away…

"Excellent! Dark Dactyle is everything you promised! Now, lets super-size it!" Nyura cried, firing an Ice Beam at Dactyle.

"Excellent! You didn't stand a chance when we were on equal footing! Now my powers have increased ten fold!" Dactyle shrieked.

"Uh-oh! We need the Zords, pronto!" Eddie cried, and they appeared from the sky, and immediately formed the Megazord.

"Don't forget me, Rangers!" Kris said, appearing in the Tyranitar Megazord from out of nowhere.

"Kris!" Eddie spat.

"Another one! Excellent! More fun for me!" Dactyle laughed, and it, and the two Megazords took a battle pose.

"Lets see if they can handle this! Heat Wave attack!" Eddie yelled, and he pressed a button that sent a scorching blast of heat at their enemies.

"Is that the best you've got!" Dactyle laughed.

"I'm in a giant hunk of metal and it didn't even damage the paintwork!" Kris said, joining in the laughter, but Dactyle using a Take Down attack hit him.

"You old fossil! You'll pay for that!" Kris yelled, and he used a Rock Slide to bury Dactyle, but it shortly spread its wings, sending the rocks flying into both Megazords.

"Mere mortals! You think your pitiful hunks of metal could ever harm me, with their useless attacks!" it yelled, then stomped its foot, causing an earthquake, which shook both of the Megazords badly, and did some major damage.

"I've had enough of this! I'm out of here!" Kris yelled, and he leapt out of his Megazord, which was quickly scooped up into its Dark Ball, and he teleported, leaving the other Rangers alone with the beast.

"Never mind. He'll just have to wait to be shredded into thousands of pieces, wont he?" Dactyle asked the Rangers sarcastically, and swooped down on the Megazord and crunched the Meganium arm with its fangs, causing huge gaping holes to appear in its armour, and for its GS Ball to come and separate it and sweep it up for repairs.

"What! No! Looks like we're gonna have to retreat, guys!" Eddie said, and the others agreed, except Kurtis, who argued.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch…

"This is still better than carrying the buckets, right Carl?" Donny asked. He and Carl had been extremely bruised by the Miltank, who had put up an excellent fight, not wanting to be milked, and they were still kicking now.

"Oof! I guess so. But it does feel kinda disgusting, though. At least this one's not fighting so much," Carl answered.

"Uh, Carl? That's not its udders, and that's not a girl Miltank," Donny told him, fighting against laughter and failing, as Carl realised what he'd been holding.

Shortly after, at the Sanctuary…

"What are we gonna do now, Celebi? This thing is stronger than anything we've ever faced! And it beat Kris with ease, as well!" Anna complained.

"Yes, and Miborg and I have discovered why. It is not one of Nyura's creations. It is a best that first appeared over 80 years ago, although the exact date is unknown. It destroyed most of Kanto, before moving on to Johto, where an unknown force managed to stop it, and trap it in Mt. Mortar," Celebi informed the Rangers.

"And might you have been that unknown force, Celebi?" Sabrina asked hopefully, but Celebi shook his head.

"When I say "unknown", I mean unknown to all. Of course, if Miborg would let me-" Celebi started, but Miborg cut him off.

"No, no, no, no, no! Your health may be better now than when you first arrived, but you are still far from being able to leave your sphere, Celebi, you cannot go!" Miborg said, waggling his finger.

"Wet blanket," Celebi said under his breath, so only the Rangers could hear him, and they let a smile come onto their faces.

"Anyway, Miborg has recently been working on something to help you, what with the Black Ranger, and it is nearly ready."

"What is it, Celebi?" Eddie asked.

"A new Zord, which will be able to combine and increase your Zords power much greater than the Megazord," Miborg told them excitedly.

"That's great!" the Rangers all said.

"Yes. But in the meantime, you should get back to your vacation," Celebi said.

"Well I'll stay here and help out. I can't enjoy myself much with this leg," Kurtis said, chuckling. Greg and Anna had to support him, as he had hurt his leg when he fell.

"And I'll stay too! I can be of help, and I think I'd prefer it here anyway," Greg admitted.

"The offer is appreciated, Greg, but you should return. One of you needing to return home without any means of transportation is odd enough. Kurtis, you and Miborg should immediately get to work," Celebi said, and the six of them teleported as instructed.

A/N: Cor! If I was reading, I wouldn't be interested so much by the main story, but the mysterious force that stopped Dactyle the first time! And I know a certain joke might not be appropriate for this age, but it wrote itself, and I thought it was too funny to leave out. Ok, quiz time…got one! Directly translated from Latin, what is the meaning of "teleport"? You might want a dictionary for this one!
