Chapter 14

They were immediately surrounded by Pirannatrons. Artemisia and the others fought their hardest but had never been up against such odds. Suddenly Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster (two intelligent and powerful cars) arrive. TJ said, "Alright the Calvary's arrived." Justin added, "And just in time." However, the sentient cars were captured quickly, and the rangers driven back. Justin said, "We gotta get back inside the power chamber."

"If only I had more experience," Artemisia said. When they finally got inside and locked the doors TJ said, "We have a good amount of training Artemisia. There were just too many of them, and don't forget they got Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster."

"I know, but I don't have much experience." Carlos said, "You were there against the Pirannatrons several times with us."

"Alpha, status of shields?" Artemisia said, changing the subject. Alpha said, "That's a no go Artemisia. The shields are nil. I'm afraid they'll break through in a matter of moments," He continued. The rangers took these precious seconds to catch their breath. Artemisia meditated. She dreamwalked to meet Master Jowl as she had several times in the past few months.

He helped to calm her before strenuous battles. Justin interrupted everyone when he noticed something on the view screen. He said, "They're leaving?" TJ said, "They'll be back.

Master Jowl looked at Artemisia and said, Andrea it is good to see you, my child.

And you Master Jowl. I wish I could free you free from your prison. Unfortunately, I can not stay long today. The Rangers and I are in between great battles… battles we can not win, but by our honor we must fight. Have you any words of wisdom for us, wise Master?

Are you scared, Andrea?

Deeply, Master, thought I hide it from those around me.

Very good. Fear is a healthy thing. But do not let your fear consume you. Work with it.

Thank you Master, anything else?

We will see each other again, my child.

I hope so. Goodbye Master, I must go now, the enemy is attacking.

Artemisia came back to the natural world. Carlos called out, "Teej." All the rangers headed toward the viewing screen. After a few short tense minutes they noticed where the Pirannatrons are. TJ said, "They're on the roof." Alpha said, "Rangers I may still be able to telport you out of here. You too Andrea." TJ stopped him and said, "We're gonna stay with you Alpha." "I'm not going anywhere!" Artemisia said.

Ashley said, "They've broken through the outer door!" TJ looked at Artemisia and said, "Thanks for staying. You may regret it." "This is so not good. Rangers, Master Jowl says 'Fear is healthy, but don't let it consume you. Work with it!"

Knocking came at both doors. TJ said, "Well looks like this is our chance to work with it. You three cover that door. Cassie and Artemisia with me."

"Whatever." "Cassie, grow up." Alpha warned them to take care. TJ said, "Guys stand your ground." he then whispered, "This has been the greatest experience of my life. Glad it's gonna end with my friends. All of them." Carlos responded, "They won't get by us." He too said a little hush of thanks for a great life as a ranger. Justin and Ashley do as well. Artemisia nodded. "Even you Cassie." "Yeah, same here."

Without warning the ceiling came crashing in on them. Pirannatrons slid down ropes and began attacking. In no time the doors broke open and more Pirannatrons came in and attacked. Pandemonium ensued. Elgar entered and noticed the tube. He said, "Zordon and Dimitria's plasma tube. If I destroy it they can't come back." He grabbed a hammer.

"Noo!" Artemisia cried as she knocked Pirannatrons out of the way in her quest to stop him. Elgar stomped on a Pirannatron as more stopped the big turtle. He kissed the hammer and said, "Kiss Dimitria good-bye." he threw the hammer and it hit it's mark. "Nooo!" Andrea cried. Elgar laughed crazily as he opened his suitcase of bombs.

"Let's blow this place. Up that is." Elgar said. He then placed bombs all over while the ranger fought. "It's the end of the Power Rangers." He laughed and left. Without warning to the Rangers the whole Power Chamber exploded. Without powers, Artemisia blacked out.

When she awoke, the Power Chamber was in ruins, and Divatox was listening to a message that was summoning her to the Sumarian Planet. Artemisia also had a head wound. "Dark Specter will not be pleased." Divatox gulped. "Did you say Dark Specter?

"The Grand monarch of all evil." The messenger replied. Artemisia thought Oh shit. This is really bad.

Divatox looked really scared. "You know, on second great idea. A vacation is just what we need. Pack your bags we're going to the Sumerian Planet." "Um Auntie D is something wrong?" "Shut up fool!" Justin thinked to himself. "What a stroke of luck even without my coin." The messenger left and so did everyone evil.
