SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 12 out, this is Chapter 13 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own not Sailor Moon or Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The only thing I own is the plot bunny which, unfortunately, is still alive.

Chapter 13: Redemption Day (1)

"The day has finally come to avenge my son." Magna Defender informed Torozord. "When I destroy this Dome, Scorpius will be destroyed as well. Defender Torozord." He morphed. Powering up his dual spear, he released a stream of energy into the burning pits of the hole the Scorpion Stinger created.

"Rangers, Magna Defender is trying to blow up the Mountain Dome." Alpha informed the Rangers.

"Alpha, what are you talking about?" Kai asked.

"He's using his energy to cause a meltdown." Alpha explained. "If he succeeds, he'll destroy Scorpius and Terra Venture."

"We've got to stop him." Leo said and the Rangers hurried off.

"Goodbye, Scorpius!" Magna Defender declared.

"Magna Defender!" Leo stated, the Rangers arriving in their Megazord. "Stop! You can't do this." the Galaxy Megazord pulling Defender Torozord back. "You're going to destroy the whole colony."

"I'll do whatever it takes to have my revenge." Magna Defender retorted, Defender Torozord sending Galaxy Megazord back with his spear.

"We've got to do something." Leo remarked, seeing Defender Torozord charging up once more, only to have the Zord stop midway, Torozord forcing Magna Defender out of itself.

"Torozord, what are you doing?" Manga Defender demanded.

"I can't believe it." Kai was surprised. "Even his own Zord threw him out."

"Torozord…" Magna Defender muttered, the said Zord turning to leave.

"Poor Magna Defender." Freaky Tiki taunted, stabbing the armoured fighter in the back with his staff. "You believe you could run away?"

"Quasar Saber!" Leo pulled out his weapon, slashing Freaky Tiki and forcing him off Magna Defender.

"Leo, you have to get him out of here." Damon said, the other Rangers covering their escape as they faced off against the newest monster.

"You're going to pay for your meddling." Freaky Tiki swore as he engaged the four Rangers in combat.

Meanwhile, Aeon Mercury had arrived at the fiery pit. "Kari," she removed the heart-shaped crystal from her belt and the girl manifested before her. "Help the Rangers in my stead."

"Kari." Kari nodded. "Kari, Kari?"

"I know." The ice Senshi smiled. "But this is something I must do; I should be able to stabilize the fire."

"Kari…" Kari muttered worriedly as she watched her caretaker make her way up the slope.

"Hang on, guys." Leo rushed back to the battle with Kari behind him. "I'm coming."

"Kari?" Kai blinked at the hyperactive girl. "What are you doing here?"

"Kari!" Kari chirped as Leo fought Freaky Tiki back.

"Kari." Leo turned to the girl.

"Kari." Kari nodded and clasped her hands as if in prayer, the all-too-familiar wave of rainbow-coloured energy washed over the Rangers, powering them up.

In their 'Power Up Mode', the Rangers took out Freaky Tiki.

"I won't be beaten that easily, Rangers." Freaky Tiki hissed and grew up in size after Kari vanished in a burst of light. "Try this one for size."

"Galaxy Megazord!" Leo had already summoned the Megazord. "Power Up Mode!" after tossing Freaky Tiki close to the fire pit, the Megazord then took out the enlarged monster.

"Now to take care of Scorpius." Damon remarked.

"Wait." Maya voiced. "Guys, look. The fire, it's stabilizing."

"But how?" Kendrix wondered.

"Look…" Leo gasped, the Megazord's camera focusing on Aeon Mercury who was near the mouth of the pit and channelling her ice powers into the flames.

"What is she…" Kai muttered. "She won't…"

"Guys, we have to help her." Leo told his team.

"Right." the Rangers nodded and jumped off their Megazord.

"Look at them." Magna Defender muttered, seeing the Rangers struggle to reach the top of the pit. "Willing to sacrifice themselves for others. There was a time when I would have done the same. But that was a long time ago before I became obsessed with revenge. I'm sorry, son; I've failed you. What is this overwhelming yet benevolent aura?" he wondered, sensing the powerful aura Aeon Mercury was emitting. "I know this feeling… could it… I know what I must do."

"We've got to help her." the untransformed Leo growled, the explosions having knocked the Rangers out of their transformations.

"Only I can do that." Magna Defender corrected. "I was the one who created this energy; my hatred of Scorpius created this evil energy."

"No!" Leo shouted, only to have Magna Defender throw his sword on the ground inches before the Rangers, erecting a prism-like barrier around them.

"Don't worry about your brother." Magna Defender assured and prowled forward, despite the Rangers' protested. "Torozord, bring the Ice Soldier to safety. This is where we part, old friend. I must do this mission alone. I only request for you to protect the daughter of Lord Hermes in my stead."

Torozord roared and knelt before the rapidly weakening Ice Senshi, nuzzling her with its nose.

"I understand." Aeon Mercury nodded in resignation and climbed onto Torozord's shoulder, allowing the said bull to take her out of the danger zone.

"This is for you, Zika." Magna Defender reached the ledge of the pit. "Rangers, I'm leaving the Lord's daughter in your hands!" with that, he dissolved into an orb of light and melted into the fiery pit.

"Is he really gone?" Maya asked.

"No," Leo corrected, pulling out the sword. "Magna Defender will live on forever."

"Mike?" Kai echoed in disbelief, seeing Mike step out of the rock formation. "I can't believe it."

"You're back!" Kendrix beamed, hugging the older Corbett brother.

"Leo." Mike greeted his younger brother and the two brothers hugged.

A roar from Torozord interrupted the sibling reunion, the bull Zord letting Aeon Mercury down onto the ground.

"I see." The ice Senshi nodded as she conversed with Torozord. "He remembered who Father was and where his loyalty laid then. I really hope Rhadamanthys, Minos and Aeacus won't judge him too harshly, seeing how he saved my life just now. Fine." she smiled when Torozord snorted. "I'll get a good word in for him once he's presented before Minos."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
