Chapter 20

The Ultimate Sacrifice

The Rangers kept battling the villians, but it was proving futile; they were getting beat. After watching his son be destroyed, Lord Zedd was doing his best to destroy Blake, and every Ranger that got in his way, he struck down.

"I will destroy you Navy Ranger, if it is the last thing I ever do!" Zedd shrieked.

"Bring it on Zedd!" Blake cried, running at Zedd.

Zordon watched with pain as he watched the Rangers fight. They had lost five Rangers already, including Trini, and it hurt to know more would be lost.

"I know what I must do." Zordon said to himself, pulling an object out of his pocket.

A bolt of lightning struck the battlefield. Everyone looked up to see General Venjix standing there.

"Master Venjix, what are you doing here?" Mesogog asked.

"I'm finishing this myself. You all are relieved of your duty." Venjix said. He pulled out a device and pressed a button. The villians all glowed, and then their energy shot from their bodies, and entered the device, powering up Venjix. The bodies of the other villains turned to dust. "Now that's more like it." he said. Pulling out Zedd's Z Staff, he charged at the Rangers.

Zordon's jaw dropped as he saw this. Not only did Venjix now have all of the other villians powers, but he was no unbeatable.

"No this can't be." Zordon said out loud. And without another word, he left the base, and headed towards the battlefield.

The Rangers weren't doing so hot against Venjix. He fought like a madman, and the Rangers were scared of who would be lost next.

"Scared Rangers?" Venjix asked.

Mike Corbett looked up. 'Not on your life." he said. He grabbed his Magna Saber, and tried to strike Venjix. However, Venjix grabbed the Manga Saber out of Mike's hand, and impaled him with it.

"MIKE!" Leo cried as he watched his brother fall to the ground. he had lost his brother once, and now had lost him again.

Venjix laughed. "What a pathetic excuse for a warrior." he said.

Ziggy looked up in anger. "Shut your mouth you robot freak!" he yelled. He charged at Venjix, only to also be implaled, this time by the Z-Staff.

"ZIGGY! NO!" Dillon roared.

Venjix was too wrapped up in laughing to notice Jack running up behind him with his Deltamax Striker. "DeltaMax Striker, fire!" he yelled. Venjix turned around to absorb the blasts, and fired them back at Jack. Jack fell to the ground, motionless.

"JACK!" Z cried.

Jason then had had enough. He pulled up his Power Sword, and charged at Venjix, not with justice, not wanting to defend the world, but with his heart full of hatred, and wanting to avenge every Rangers death.

Venjix countered his attack, and the two fericiously dueled, Jason using all of his anger on Venjix. The two not noticing Emily sneaking up behind Venjix.

"Seismic Swing!" Emily cried, using her favorite attack. The attack hit Venjix in the back. He knocked Jason to the ground, and turned on her.

"Die girl!" he yelled, shooting a powerful blast at her. Emily, readied herself, ready to know she was going to die. Suddenly she was pushed out of the way, someone else taking the hit for her. Looking at where the figure had landed, Emily gasped; it had been Mike.

"Mike!" she yelled, running over to him

Jason got up and continued his duel with Venjix. The battle now tougher. Jason began to get the upper hand. After a strike, Venjix fell to his knees.

"Damn you red Ranger!" Venjix yelled.

Jason powered up his Power Sword, and went to strike Venjix, but Venjix fired a blast at Jason. The Power Sword flew out of Jason's hands and Venjix grabbed it, striking Jason.

'You Power Rangers are no match for me. Ten of you have already been killed. How many more need to fall?" Venjix asked.

"No more, for only I shall fight you." a voice said. Everyone looked up to see Zordon standing there.

"What are you going to do old man?" Venjix asked with a sneer.

Zordon pulled out the object he had held earlier, and pressed a button on it. 'It's Ulitmate Morphin Time." he said. He then transformed into a Red Ranger suit.

Venjix gasped. 'What are you?" he asked.

"I am the Red Ultimate Power Ranger." Zordon said in a deadly calm voice.

So Zordon is now a Power Ranger, Ten Rangers are gone total, and an ultimate duel is about to take place.

Just to answer one question; Zordon basically morphed into AkaRed from Super Sentai. This is one idea that I had been thinking about for awhile, and I'm glad I went with this route.

There will be 3 more chapters of War after this one, and one of the chapters will be a very short one, but I think you all will like it.

Also, has anyone been keeping up with the Megaforce news? I know i have been, and I can't wait to watch the season premire. 2013 is too far away.

Next time on War: The battle between Good and Evil reaches its climax as Zordon and General Venjix have a shodown of mthe ages. Who will walk out victorious?
