Chapter 14: THE PROMISE! Part 2
WHERE WE LEFT OFF...
Yusei, Gia and Carly face-off against Roman. There are two megazords on the field: the Ninja Thunder Megazord and the PaleoMax Megazord. The Earthbound Immortal Uru has been summoned as well. Roman got the shock of his life when Aslla Piscu is summoned and it's no longer an Earthbound Immortal, instead it's a Kaizoku Legend. Now the duel continues.
MEANWHILE...
Jake moves towards where the duel is happening after getting lost trying to find a Dark Signer to duel. "Oh, man! This stinks. I got to find a Dark Signer to duel before they're all defeated or else I'll be the only ranger going around in circles for nothing." He looks up in the sky to see the purple spider and gold hummingbird hieroglyph. He then stops his runner. "Let see, I've already seen a Whale, a Hummingbird, a Monkey, a Giant, a Spider... what's the other one?" Jake sees a gecko on the ground and it dawns on him. "Of Course, a lizard! That Dark Signer who has the Titanium Ranger key has that mark. I'll get my chance to duel her and get that key back."
"First of all; it's not a lizard, it's a gecko and second; you wouldn't even have a chance against me." said Misty who snuck up behind Jake.
"I don't know. It just might happen even without Gia seeing me in action." Jake finally realized that Misty was talking to him." "Whoa! How long have you been behind me?"
"While you were talking to yourself, I've been behind you for at least 30 seconds."
"Well then, now that you're here, how about handing me the Titanium Ranger key?"
"How about 'no'."
"Suit yourself. Legendary ranger mode, Lightspeed Rescue!"
"Let's do this! Evil ranger mode, Titanium Ranger! Titanium Power!" The two of them face-off.
MEANWHILE...
Roman, still in shock about Aslla Piscu being a Kaizoku Legend, still believes he can defeat it. "No matter. Even with its new look, I can still take you down."
"I wouldn't count on it. Remember, now that it's summoned, it can do direct damage to your life points." said Carly. Aslla Piscu raises its wing about to attack Roman.
"I activate the trap Gift of the Mystical Elf. It raises my life points to 300 times the number of monsters on the field!" said Roman. Seven monster x 300 = 2100.
Life Points: Roman / 4650
"Even with more life points, it won't stop Aslla Piscu from striking you!" Aslla Piscu slams its wing at Roman, knocking him off his feet.
Life Points: Roman / 2150
"How did that thing get more powerful?" said Roman.
"My love, courage, strength and bravery is what's giving my Kaizoku Legend its power and because of that it no longer need human souls to gain power."
"What?!"
"So, as of right now, Aslla Piscu will release the people back to New Domino City!" Streams of gold light started to emerge from Aslla Piscu as more people began returning to New Domino City. One of them being Carly's rival, Angela.
MEANWHILE...
Angela sees the duel in the Satellite. "Whoa, that's happening again? Perfect, this is my chance to report this." She heads back to the news station to pick up her news equipment.
MEANWHILE...
"Also, I have the PaleoMax Megazord on the field and its special ability destroys one monster on your side of the field. Since, for now, Uru is immune to attacks, I'll take out your Grand Spider, again." The PaleoMax freezes Grand Spider with its trunk and shatters it to pieces with its hands. "Since your Grand Spider was in defense mode, you lose your life points by my megazord's defense power."
Life Points: Roman / 1150
"For now, since Fortune Lady Fire is gone, I'll summon Fortune Ladies Earth and Dark in defense mode and end my turn."
FORTUNE FAIRY EARTH: ATK / 2400; DEF / 2400; LV / 6
FORTUNE FAIRY DARK: ATK / 2000; DEF / 2000; LV / 5
"Huh? My Fortune Fairies are back? How?"
"They must have changed back when you summoned your Kaizoku Legend." said Jack.
"That's a relief."
"It won't be a relief for long." Roman draws. "Alright, Uru, unleash your web of destruction on Yusei." Uru spits its web on Yusei but Junk Warrior protected Yusei by sacrificing itself. "What?"
"Remember this, Roman?" said Yusei as he revealed his Synchro Barrier trap.
"How can I forget. No matter, I'll just have Uru take out Yellow Ranger." Uru fires its web at Gia.
"Not today. Desert Thunder, protect me."
DESERT THUNDER: ATK / 500; DEF / 500; LV / 2 (Turbo)
A Green vehicle appeared in front of Gia, taking the hit from Uru's attack.
Life Points: Roman / 1075; Gia / 2000
"Because of that, we both lose half of our life Points."
"It doesn't matter, I activate Destiny Activator spell card." Roman draws a monster card. "I just drew a monster card, if any one of you three draw a monster card as well, you lose half of your life points. Make your draws." Yusei, Carly and Gia drew one card from their deck. Carly drew the spell card Victory Charge, Gia drew the equip spell Power Sphere 4 and Yusei drew the Nitro Warrior monster card and lost half of his life points.
Life Points: Yusei / 2000
"My move, now!" Yusei draws and it's Quillbolt Hedgehog. "Perfect. I just drew Quillbolt Hedgehog. Now I'll discard it from my hand in order to summon Quickdraw Synchron."
QUICKDRAW SYNCHRON: ATK / 700; DEF / 1400; LV / 5
"Next, since I have a tuner monster on my field, I can summon Quillbolt Hedgehog from my Graveyard."
QUILLBOLT HEDGEHOG: ATK / 800; DEF / 800; LV / 2
"Now, I'll tune my level 5 Quickdraw Synchron and my level 2 Quillbolt Hedgehog in order to summon my level 7 Nitro Warrior."
NITRO WARRIOR: ATK / 2800; DEF / 1800; LV / 7
"Now, attack Roman directly!" Nitro Warrior aims for Roman.
"I activate Roar of the Earthbound to destroy your attack monster and you half of its attack power is deducted from your life points." Uru destroys Nitro Warrior.
Life Points: Yusei / 1000
"Give up?"
"I'm not done yet. I activate Descending Lost Star to bring back Nitro warrior in defense mode."
NITRO WARRIOR: ATK / 2800; DEF / 0; LV / 6
"Next, I summon Nitro Synchron in attack mode."
NITRO SYNCHRON: ATK / 300; DEF / 100; LV / 2
"Brace yourself, Roman, because I tune my level 6 Nitro Warrior and my level 2 Nitro Synchron in order to summon my Stardust Dragon."
STARDUST DRAGON: ATK / 2500; DEF / 2000; LV / 8
"Now, Stardust Dragon, attack with Cosmic Flare." Stardust Dragon shoot out a blue flare of stardust out of his mouth and at Roman.
Life Points: Roman / 375
"See if you can dodge this! Uru, take him out!" Uru unleashes its web at Yusei.
"I activate Spirit Force to stop your attack and add a reinforcement to my hand from my graveyard." said Yusei.
"Wrong. I activate Earthbound Wave to destroy that trap and have you destroyed." said Roman.
"Wrong, again. I activate Power Sphere 4 to stop your attack." said Gia. The spin blade emerges from the Ninja Thunder Megazord and is used to stop Uru's attack on Yusei. "Another turn wasted. Now, it's my draw."
"Bring it!" said Roman.
"Oh, I will. I summon Hawk of Air in attack mode."
HAWK OF AIR: ATK / 500; DEF / 250; LV / 2 (Ninja Storm)
"With that, I can summon out Dolphin of Water and Lion of Earth to the field."
DOLPHIN OF WATER: ATK / 500; DEF / 250; LV / 2 (Ninja Storm)
LION OF EARTH: ATK / 500; DEF / 250; LV / 2 (Ninja Storm)
"Then, I activate Zord Transformation to form the Ninja Storm Megazord." The Lion forms the body and left arm, the Dolphin forms the right arm and the hawk forms the head and then they combines.
NINJA STORM MEGAZORD: ATK / 1500; DEF / 750; LV / 6
"Perfect. A third megazord for me to destroy." said Roman.
"Well, let's see how you deal with two of my megazords combining into one when I activate the MiniZord equip spell." A gold power sphere emerged from the Storm Megazord and a silver power sphere emerged from the Thunder Megazord. "Now I can have both my megazords to combine into the Thunderstorm Megazord." The Storm and Thunder Megazord merged as one.
THUNDERSTORM MEGAZORD: ATK / 2500; DEF / 1750; LV / 10 (Ninja Storm)
"My megazord's special ability prevents you from using any trap card." The Thunderstorm Megazord destroys two cards on Roman's field that happens to be traps.
"I don't need trap cards to defeat you three."
"I wouldn't count on that. I summon Solar Shuttle in attack mode."
SOLAR SHUTTLE: ATK / 1000; DEF / 1000; LV / 3 (Lightspeed Rescue)
"With Solar Shuttle in attack mode, it switches to warrior mode." Hands, legs and the head emerge from the shuttle. "Plus, with Solar Shuttle now on the field, it prevents any dark type monster from attacking. So now, your Earthbound Immortal is useless." Solar Shuttle fires its weapon at Uru and disables it.
"No! This cannot be happening!" yelled Roman.
"It happened. I lay one card face down and end my turn."
Roman draws. "There's nothing I can do."
"That what I want to hear." said Carly, "So now, I activate Victory Charge. My Aslla Piscu and My PaleoMax Megazord are ready to take you down."
"So, it's just going to be you destroying me?"
"No, Roman. I, too, play Victory Charge as well." said Gia, "Now, my Thunderstorm Megazord and Yusei Stardust Dragon will help out Carly defeat you."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! HOW DID YOU GET SO STRONG!" shouted Roman.
"Because I believe in this planet, the people on it and... I also believe in the Crimson Dragon and the people it chose to protect this world!" said Carly, "I'll use the PaleoMax's special ability to use the power of my two remaining Fortune Fairies to increase the attack and defense power of Aslla Piscu and PaleoMax." Fortune Fairies Earth and Dark merge with the PaleoMax Megazord and Aslla Piscu.
PALEOMAX MEGAZORD: ATK / 4400; DEF / 2000; LV / 7 (RPM)
KAIZOKU LEGEND ASLLA PISCU: ATK / 4500; DEF / 4500; LV / 10 (Super Megaforce)
"Now, Aslla Piscu! PaleoMax Megazord..."
"Stardust Dragon..."
"Thunderstorm Megazord..."
"DESTROY URU!" They all said. Aslla Piscu slashes Uru with its wing, PaleoMax freeze-blasted it, Stardust Dragon fired its cosmic flare and Thunderstorm fired its lion blaster, destroying Uru.
Life Points: Roman / 0
Roman demorphed and the key flew into the air. "I'll grab the key." said Tommy.
"I don't think so!" said Roman as he got back up to grab the key.
"Carly, your belief has unlocked a new legendary mode." said Gosei.
"Thanks, Gosei." Carly pulls out the new legendary key. "Legendary blitz mode, Mythical Charge!" Carly morphs and uses the new power to stop Roman. "Mythical power of the dragon!" Roman falls to the ground.
Tommy manages to grab the key. "Got it." he said.
As a weakened Roman gets back up, Carly returns to her Super Mega mode. Carly pulls out her primary ranger key and inserts it into the lock of the Super Mega Saber. "This ends now! Super Mega Saber, final strike!" The Strike knocks Roman off his feet.
"It's over, Roman." said Yusei.
"You would think that. Once Lord Zedd reappears, it will be the end of you." Roman disappears to the Netherworld.
"Knowing Lord Zedd, I doubt it." said Tommy.
Crow and the other rangers appeared as the flames disappeared. "Hey, guys." said Blake.
"Hunter, Blake, you made it." said Tommy.
"Crow, you alright?" said Yusei.
"A-OK." said Crow. "Uh, is that... Carly?" He sees Super Megaforce Red in a skirt.
Carly pulls out a key displaying her Kaizoku Legend outfit. She uses it to change back and then pulls out her glasses and puts them on. "Yeah, it's me, Crow." Carly then sees Hunter with the same symbol as the Crimson Ranger. She then pulls out the key. "I believe this is yours." Carly throws the key to Hunter.
"Thanks." said Hunter.
"Hey, Carly, what happened to Aslla Piscu? All of a sudden the hieroglyph in the sky turned gold." said Crow.
Carly pulls out the card and shows it to the rest. "This is what Troy did with it."
"Kaizoku Legend?"
"Yeah. Troy used his primary ranger key to change Aslla Piscu into a Kaizoku Legend."
"Amazing." said Trudge.
"I've been meaning to ask you, why did you, all of a sudden, decide to attack the other Dark Signers?" said Gia.
"What do you mean 'attack the other Dark Signers'?" said Mina.
"She went rogue?" said Trudge.
"Well, this all happened when the Crimson Ranger key came into my apartment."
FLASHBACK...
(Carly's POV)
I was rapidly typing on the keyboard of my laptop for a huge story.
"Ah! Writer's cramp! I need to take a break. Sooner or later, I got to find a better job."
Suddenly, I saw the Crimson Ranger key entered through the window and landed on my desk. I started to get my memories back when I became a Dark Signer when I picked up the key. When I dropped the key, the mark appeared on my arm.
"Oh no. Not again. I don't want to do this!"
Its dark energy tried to take control of me. The dark energy started to enter my body. But when I started to think what happened when I defeated myself in the last dark duel and who my friend were I managed to fight back the remaining energy. I succeeded and the rest of the dark energy disappeared and I fell unconscious. When I came too, I realized that I was wearing this outfit again.
END FLASHBACK...
"Well, not like this from the start." She showed-off the red stripes and the Super Megaforce logo on her belt buckle.
FLASHBACK...
I rolled down my sleeve and saw the mark on my arm but was barely noticeable.
"Is that the best you can do, now?"
The mark glowed gave me a burning sensation but it wasn't enough to cause me pain.
"I guess so."
I ran over to the bathroom mirror to look at my face. My eyes were black and there was a mark on the corner of my left eye as before. I also removed my glasses because I can see without them now.
"Of all the people he would've picked as a Dark Signer, Roman had to pick me again." Carly pick up the key on the floor. "Well, Roman, you maybe having me duel Jack again but I have a big surprise in for you."
END FLASHBACK...
"I did say I was going to duel Jack, but I never said I was going to defeat him. My original plan was to catch up with Jack and duel him before Roman begins his duel. As soon as he summons his Majestic Red Dragon, since Aslla Piscu can no longer take control of me, that's where I forfeit the duel. Then, I tell Jack my plan and go out to find Roman and duel him alongside Yusei."
"Wow." said Crow.
"Yeah. But, that was my original plan until Roman told us that the Power Rangers are about to duel with the signers. That's where I came up with a brand new plan."
"That we remember." said Crow.
"The thing about that is Roman never caught on what was about to happen."
FLASHBACK...
Roman was talking to us about Gosei and the Power Rangers. "...and Gosei says that anyone with 'pure goodness' can't be turned evil that easily."
The Dark Signers were laughing about what Gosei said to Roman but Carly was pretending to laugh. 'Sorry to disappoint you Roman, but Gosei is right. I have a heart of pure goodness. You weren't able to keep your control on me last time and it won't happen again. Good always triumphs over evil.'
FLASHBACK...
"So, then, why did you fight the other rangers?" asked Yusei.
"I was just sparring. I didn't mean to harm anyone." said Carly.
"Good plan." said Tommy.
Everyone then hears an explosion from a distant. "What was that?" said Eric.
"It has to be Misty." said Carly.
Jake calls the rangers. 'Hey guys, I could use your help!'
"We're on our way, Jake. I was wondering what happened to him." said Gia.
"Do you think Akiza and the others might be there as well?" said Mina.
"Only one way to find out. Let's catch up to him." said Yusei. Everyone drove off to where the battle was happening.
With the Titanium Ranger key remaining, it is now up to Akiza and Jake to duel Misty. Will they defeat Misty or find a way to save her from being sent to the Netherworld? Find out, next time.
