An ape like monster was crawling on the ground. It looked heavily injured. From it's belt, he took out a silver coin, and was about to smash it against the ground, when suddenly, a massive foot came down on him, and he dropped it. A small fireball later, and the coin was destroyed, as the dragon got off of the ape. It was Ryder.
Ryder: I don't exactly feel like dealing with an overgrown monkey, anymore then I have to.
Ryder shot out a big fireball, engulfing the ape, destroying it. He powered down to his dragoon form. The other rangers flew up beside him.
Ryder: I told you guys, I was confident with my new powers now.
Hanzo: I had little doubt Ryder. We know you're strong, and determined.
Suddenly, their communicators started blaring. Ryder activated his, and was curious to find out what had happened.
Ryder: Yes Dr O?
Tommy: We got a bit of a problem here. It would seem as if Slasheria escaped. Nobody was hurt though. Strange that we haven't heard from her though. Damn. Just when Billy was going to come over with his new device.
Ryder: Yeah. It kinda blows that happened, but we should have known it was inevitable.
Tommy: Perhaps, but we might not be out of luck yet. It would seem as if Slasheria is heading towards Angel Grove. No doubt to activate the Zeo Zords. Luckily that's where Trey is heading right now as well. But we've also picked up another thing heading to Earth. Wait...it's gone. Nevermind. No damage either.
Ryder: alright. Let's go then. We'll need you as well.
Tommy: Yeah. I'll send Kim over to stay at your mom's while we do this.
Suddenly, they were interrupted by Ragnarok speaking over the intercom.
Ragnarok: Unfortunately, I don't have enough room inside to carry the Tigerzord. But considering that it's not a long flight at all, I'll carry the Tigerzord on top.
Tommy: Thanks Ragnarok. Much appreciated.
Ragnarok: No problem Tommy. The sooner we win this war, the better. Oh, and I've let the guardians know, so they will be summoned in Angel Grove.
Ryder: Let's get a move on then.
The Rangers summoned their G-riders and sped off to where Ragnarok was. Eventually, they met up with the Tigerzord. Sonn after that, the Tigerzord jumped, and landed on top of Ragnarok, and was secured. The rest of the rangers then got into the cargo bay, parked their G-Riders, and met up with Tommy in the cockpit. They each removed their helmets, as they took off to Angel Grove.
Tommy: I've let the Zeo Rangers know about us coming. Billy is there as well, with Trey. If we do this, we'll at least have significantly taken out Slasheria's powers. If she's weakened, she'll be of less threat. Unfortunately, the best way we can defeat her, is either convince her to be good, put her on a higher carbon freeze, or trap her in a time warp. We simply can't destroy this one.
Hanzo: I know. This sucks. The only person who could destroy her, isn't even around anymore.
Meanwhile, inside Azalia's fortress...
Azalia: This is perfect!
Lothor: We ravage Reefside!
Azalia: No. We don't. We follow them, and keep a close eye on them. Slasheria will not stop this time, now that' she's pissed off, and will use the power of Pyramidas to full power. It should weaken them. When that happens, we'll go in, and take the emeralds.
Lothor: That works for sure.
That's when a giant metal beetle warrior came in. Lothor smirked, as did Azalia. They had both created this monster, just for the purpose of destruction, with this one being exceptionally powerful.
Lothor: So, it looks like War Beetle has been created. Let's see if he has what it takes to take them out. Azalia smirked. Suddenly, she lurched forward a bit. Lothor quickly grabbed her. He had a look of concern on his face, but Azalia had a rather happy smile.
Azalia: It kicked. And it was a hard one as well.
War Beetle: My suggestion empress, would be to stay here. The only downside, is you'll miss the destruction first hand.
Azalia: I'll be fine if I miss it a bit. But Lothor...you must go. Do some damage.
Lothor: Indeed. War Beetle and I will crash the party, and spice things up. We'll get you a nice gift, in the form of one of the emeralds.
Azalia: Would be nice if it were all, but one will do. But an even better present, is to bring me Slasheria, out cold. We can't kill her, but I'm going to force her back under my command. The power she has will indeed defeat the rangers.
Meanwhile, over Angel Grove...
The Tigerzord jumped off Ragnarok, as the Dragon Rangers all sped down on their G-Riders. They were right near Pyramidas, in it's basic form. That's when lightning shot out, and knocked them all down. All eight of them were on the ground. The dragon rangers transformed into their dragoon forms, while Ryder went into his battlizer mode. Slasheria kept blasting them back, until she appeared herself.
Slasheria: I'm going to enjoy taking you out for good. Oh, hello old man.
Tommy took a slight offense to this, but before he could do anything, he was given a hard punch to the stomach, followed by a massive back flip kick. The other rangers tried to flank her, but she kept dodging, and blasting them down. She then charged up a gold beam, which Ryder blocked with a massive fire aura.
Ryder: You're not worthy of such power. We'll destroy you!
Slasheria: Oh, hello boy toy. Almost forgot about you, due to 'training'. I suppose you got things under control now eh? Well you're gonna need it!
Slasheria charged more power, and overthrew Ryder, sending him right into a cliff wall. Suddenly, Kelzacs and Komododrones all jumped on her from every direction, like an ant infestation. But with a mighty yell, Slasheria produced a massive gold tornado, and vaporized them all. She began to breath heavily, the power usage taking a toll on her. That is when she was bast by two beams. She saw who it was, through her now broken glass helmet, and blasted both War Beetle and Lothor but they dodged.
Lothor: That didn't take us to long. Somewhat surprised, but I welcome it.
War Beetle: Yeah. Let's blow them all to atoms!
Slasheria growled. She was about to attack, which a sudden force had tackled Slasheria. She hit the ground hard.
?: You certainly did quite a number on everyone. However, this is where you shall perish.
Slasheria moved her head a bit, to see who spoke was wearing a cloak. She tried to get up, but was blasted into a small gorge by War Beetle. It was the same one that the other rangers had landed in. they had to use their powers to brace for impact, but they weren't in to good of condition right now. The cloaked figure jumped down, and landed right infront of Slahseria.
Slasheria looked upon the cloaked opponent that stared across from her in the gorge. She slowly got up, clutching her gold staff. She faltered for a second, before she rose up. The glass visor in her helmet was all broken, she she used her wind power to blow the glass away from her.
Slasheria: Insolent Fool. Do you not know who I am?
The cloaked figure nodded. The figure blasted a few flame and lightning blasts at Slasheria, who was barely able to dodge them. Slasheria hissed in pain from the injuries she had received from before.
Slasheria: Then...you should know, I am immortal. No matter the damage you do to me, I can't die. And with this power, when I use all of it, I shall show you why I am a goddess.
Cloaked figure: You are neither a goddess, nor immortal.
Slasheria: That's what...wait. I recognized that voice. It's different, but not by much. But I thought...Oh hell NO!
Cloaked Figure: Oh hell yeah!
The cloaked figure threw off the cloak. Revealing to be a beautiful, well toned and well sculpted young woman. Indeed a woman, that any female, young or old, would kill to have. Flowing hazel colored hair, and a beautiful face, all decked out in black leather combat gear. Slasheria stumbled, and hit the ground, looking at her adversary. All the other rangers were clearly shocked to see who it was. Ryder moved his visor and mouth cover, to show a look of pure happiness on his face. The woman looked over at him, smiled, and winked.
Ryder: L..L..Lauren?
The woman nodded. All the rangers did the same as they get up. They were all certainly glad to see Lauren was indeed alive. Lothor and War Beetle landed down, and Needless to say, Lothor was very shocked. He was about to blast her, when Lauren looked at him, and smirked.
Lauren: Don't even try.
Tommy had finally gotten up, and embraced his daughter. The celebration waxs indeed a fuzzy one, as Lauren was alive.
Slasheria: HOW? I saw you DIE!
Lauren: You thought you saw me die. Truth be honest, if it wasn't that explosion that killed me, I was going to sacrifice myself anyways. Because I needed an escape, so that I could take up the utimate offer. See, a few nights before, I was given a fang, as a present, from a very powerful entity. That entity, told me to use it if I was in danger, to teleport myself, to his dimension, which was similar to Zordon's Time Warp. With that, the time I spend training to further my own powers was in total two years, even though only a few months have past. I would have returned sooner, but persona things kept me from doing so.
Lothor: That's great and all, but that doesn't change the fact that you're going to perish. You should have stayed dead.
Lauren ignored Lothor. Ryder opened his helmet, and Lauren kissed him fiercly. Everyone, minus the bad guys and Tommy, all cheered for that.
Lauren: I needed that.
Ryder: So did I.
Lauren smiled, before turning around. Slasheria was back up, and ready to go. But Lauren waved her finger, and tisked her.
Lauren: You know, I really don't like the fact you've kept hitting on my boyfriend all this time. Then again, you are part of me. But that is beside the point. The thing about my training, is that I was trained...in all elements. Making me virtually unstoppable. And it will be with what I've earned, I shall finish you. The only reason why you have the gold ranger power, is because you were created after I became a ranger. And now, I'm going to destroy you.
Lauren then opened up a couple of pockets in her utility belt. She then got out what looked like a dragon morpher, and a brightly shining emerald. She equipped the morpher, and placed the emerald inside. The bad guys all stumbled back.
Lauren: You guys deal with the gruesome twosome. I want to put an end to my dark half personally.
Hanzo: You're the only one who can.
Lauren: I know. DRAGON FORCE! DIVINE DRAGON POWER!
Lauren glowed extremely bright, of all the elemental colors. After a minute, she was in a silver crystal version of the ranger uniform. She also wielded a six foot long Katana.
Slasheria and Lauren both rushed at each other, eager to begin their final battle.
A/N: Oh yes. Some of you had predicted it, and you all really wanted it. The original dragon leader herself is back, and stronger then ever! Hope you guys don't mind hanging for a bit, because what happens next, will be awesome. as always, pls, drop a review. all feedback has really helped me want to write this, and I can'twait to do more.
