And now the moment we've (including myself) all been waiting for to happen: the start of the adaption of some of the very best episodes in the whole entire Power Rangers series. That's right, I give to you all the first part of the popular *Green with Evil* story arc. This chapter will introduce another character who will play the role of Tommy Oliver (a.k.a.; the Green Ranger) for the story. Although based on *Green with Evil: Out of Control* the start of this chapter will also borrow some mild elements from the *The Great Discovery* special (oh joy...).
And now for the always usual statement: Power Rangers belongs to Saban, and Thomas belongs to HIT Entertainment. All right, here we go!
Chapter 20: Green with Evil (1): Out of Control
MMPR Episode Basis: Green with Evil (1): Out of Control
Thomas Episode Basis: The Great Discovery (mild)
It was a cool morning on the Island of Sodor, currently halfway through October. Outside at the track field at Sodor High, Thomas was in his gym clothes and was stretching and warming up for gym class, along with Diesel, Arry, Bert, Daisy, Skarloey, Duncan and some of the other students. Duncan had blonde hair and wore yellow clothes with his name stitched on his shirt. Skarloey had red hair and wore red clothes with his name stitched on his shirt. Both he and Duncan were part of the Narrow Gauge class.
As Thomas stretched, Diesel started bragging to his friends, and to taunt his rival as he stretched and practice ran.
"I'm going to make good time today! You shouldn't try running today, Thomas! You'll only wear yourself out for a slowpoke!" he said mockingly.
Thomas didn't look too concerned, but he did stop stretching to stare at Diesel firmly.
"I'll believe it when I see it." he retorted heatedly.
"You'll see me running way ahead of you, Thomas. Then you'll believe it." Diesel replied, before grinning. "How about a friendly little race?"
Thomas smirked right back. "All right, you're on!"
After talking to the gym teacher about it, he allowed the race to happen and even allowed Skarloey to host it.
"One lap around the track!" The Narrow Gauge Teen said to the two racers, as they lined up at the starting line. Just before he lifted up a green flag. "On your mark… get set…go!"
With a wave of the flag, Thomas and Diesel took off.
"See you at the finish line Thomas!" Diesel called as he raced far ahead down the track.
But Thomas paced himself and continued to run down the track. Nearby, some of the other kids were cheering for Thomas. The others (like Duncan, Arry, Bert, and Daisy) cheered for Diesel.
"Thomas is not going to make it." huffed Duncan as he watched.
"No way!" Duck spoke up. "Thomas will definitely win!"
"I'm sure he will too, Duck." Skarloey added. "Go Thomas Go!"
"Come on, Diesel!" called Arry.
"Humiliate him!" added Bert.
"Teach that child a lesson he'll never forget, darling!" Daisy encouraged her boyfriend.
As the two teens approached the finish line, Diesel began to grow tired because he used all his energy early on and started to slow down. While Thomas, who had kept his pace, easily pulled ahead. In no time, Thomas crossed the finish line first as Skarloey waved a black and white checker flag, Diesel slumped in second.
"And Thomas wins!" shouted Skarloey happily.
Everyone cheered for Thomas. Diesel, meanwhile, collapsed face down onto the ground in exhaustion.
"I won!" Thomas raises his arms in triumph.
"Well done, Thomas!" congratulated Duck.
"I knew you could win!" Skarloey added.
"Meh, I guess you did all right." Duncan shrugged.
Daisy, Arry, and Bert each ran over to help Diesel up. Bert gave Diesel a cup of water when Duncan walked over and started to tease the black-haired Smelter Teen.
"You were right, Diesel. Slowpokes like you shouldn't have bothered racing." he said cheekily.
"N-no, that's not it! My leg just started hurting, that's all." Diesel protested.
"Yeah, just like your head!"
With that, Everyone (even the gym teacher) laughed out loud. Arry and Bert didn't laugh, they just glared at them. Daisy gripped Diesel's arm in comfort as she stared at the laughing students angrily, while Diesel growled in anger and humiliation.
Not far from the track field near the school building, a minivan pulled up beside the building. When the doors opened up, a teenage boy and his mother stepped out at each side. The boy had gray hair, wore a green sweatshirt hoodie with the name 'Stanley' stitched on the front, gray pants, and white sneakers. The boy and his mother entered the building. Inside, as they walked through the hallway to the principal's office, the boy had attracted a lot of attention from some of the other students (mainly the girls, who were swooning over him). James and Henry were both at their lockers when they saw the boy.
"Hey!" called James. "Who are you?"
This caught the boy's attention, so he turned and smiled in a friendly way.
"Hi there. My name's Stanley. It's nice to meet you." he greeted. "Sorry, but I have to go with my mother to see the principal of the school."
But before leaving, Stanley shook their hands and followed his mother into the principal's offic. James and Henry were both very impressed with who they met.
"Oh my! He seems very friendly." Henry smiled.
"He's already in my good books." added James.
Later on, Thomas was walking through the hall to his next class when he saw a large crowd of students standing near the door to the principal's office. He saw Percy and some of his other friends in the crowd and tried to tell them about his race with Diesel.
"Hey Percy, Toby! Guess what? I've beaten Diesel in a race on the track field." said Thomas.
But Percy and Toby both didn't seem to hear their blue-haired friend. The door opened and the principal, Sir Topham Hatt, walked out with both Stanley and his mom.
"Everyone, this is Stanley Hudswell. He will be attending our school starting tomorrow, so please help out by showing him around the building for today." he announced to the other students.
"Hello everyone! It's great to be here at Sodor High!" Stanley spoke.
The gray-haired boy had an easy and friendly manner, and a lot of the students liked him immediately.
"Stanley looks strong and athletic." Gordon said first.
"He's seems really smart." spoke Toby.
"And he's very polite." added Edward.
"And he looks really cute, too!" squealed Emma, as her sister, Pip, giggled happily.
Percy noticed Thomas standing behind him. "Hello Thomas! I didn't see you behind me. Have you met Stanley yet?" he asked.
Stanley, however, overheard Percy and decided to go introduce himself to Thomas.
"Hi, you must be Thomas. I'm Stanley. I'm from Great Waterton. It's really nice to meet you." he held out his hand. "I've heard a lot of good things about you from your principal and some of your friends."
Thomas felt uneasy (and somewhat threatened) at first. But after seeing how friendly Stanley was, he managed a smile and shook his hand.
"Thanks." Thomas replied.
"Say, can I ask you something: Do you do martial arts?" Stanley asked.
Thomas nodded. "Emily and I both do." he answered.
Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Who's Emily?" he asked.
"My girlfriend." Thomas answered. "We've been dating for the past few weeks now."
"That's really cool." Stanley smiled. "Congratulations."
"Thanks, Stanley." Thomas replied. "Either way, we're both black belts."
This made the gray-haired boy all the more interested.
"How about after school we see how good you both are?" he offered. "Is there any place we can have a friendly sparring match?"
Thomas nodded. "In the town of Knapford, there's a building called *The Youth Center*, headed by the Refreshment Lady. There's a juice bar, a gym, and all sorts of stuff kids and teens of all ages can do there. We can have a match there."
"Great!" Stanley smiled. "I'll see you and your friends there after school then!"
The gray-haired boy walked away, leaving the Tidmouth Teens smiling at having made a new friend.
Unfortunately for everyone, between Earth and the Lunar surface of the Moon in outer space. Inside the Lunar Palace on the balcony, Rita looked out from her telescope, while holding her left hand up and out, her expression frozen with intent. Squatt, Baboo, and Goldar all looked at her while inside the main chamber.
"Ooh, did you see that guy?" Rita asked her minions. "He'll be a great Green Ranger."
Baboo and Squatt both appeared surprised, as they looked at each other briefly, and then nod at what they saw.
"Huh? You mean defeated by one of their own kind?" asked the latter stupidly.
"Of course, idiot!" Goldar snapped, while pointing his sword to the left, and then lowered it.
"Ooh, I'm such a genius." Rita said happily, as she walked passed the nodding Baboo along the balcony railing. "How brilliant!"
"The Power Rangers destroyed: by another teenager!" Goldar whipped up his sword, and holding up left fist, then pumping his sword upward three times.
"Yes…" Rita snickered wickedly, as she wagged his right index finger a bit.
Squatt clasped his hands together and Baboo held up his pointing right hand, before they look at each other with a nod, then head off to the right.
"I can't wait to see how Rita's going to pull this off." Baboo said excitedly.
Yikes! This could turn really bad, folks.
Later on at the Youth Center after school. Inside the gym area, Stanley and Emily had both just finished up their sparring match (with the former winning easily), and soon he and Thomas were going at it on the mat. It looked like an even matched between them, but no matter what Thomas did, Stanley seemed to get the upper hand through out the whole entire sparring match. The other Tidmouth Teens (minus Rosie) all watched it going on nearby and commented on it.
"Looks like Thomas has finally met his match." stated Gordon.
"Stanley's good." Toby commented.
"Oh me, oh my." Henry nodded. "You have a good point there, Toby."
Eventually, Stanley knocked Thomas down to the ground, officially signalling the end of the match.
"Game. Set. And match!" called Edward, who refereed the match. "Stanley is the winner!"
Stanley walked over to Thomas and offered a hand. The blue-haired boy accepted it and the gray-haired boy helped him up.
"You okay?" Stanley asked.
"I'm fine, but you-" Thomas started. "You were terrific! How long were you studying karate for?"
"I took karate up back at the age of nine, but it took me only two years to master what I needed to learn to become a black belt."
Thomas, as well as Emily, were both shocked.
"Two years?!" they both exclaimed.
"Yup, and it wasn't easy either." Stanley replied.
"Wow, you must be a natural." Gordon was impressed. "It took Thomas here three years, and Emily five years to become black belts."
Stanley nodded before turning around. "Well, I'm off to hit the showers, I'll see you guys at school tomorrow."
And the new guy walked away, towards the men's locker room. Just then, Rosie showed up to see her friends.
"Hey guys." she greeted sweetly.
"Hey, Rosie. You just missed out on someone we met today." Toby said.
"Oh? Was it someone new at school?" Rosie asked.
"Yes it was, and let me tell you, he's not only really nice and very smart, but he is also a real whizz at martial arts." Thomas said. "He even creamed me and Emily both."
Rosie felt disappointed that she missed meeting the new guy, but that wouldn't be for long though. Suddenly, Stanley came back, he was in a fresh set of clothes after he took a shower in the men's locker room.
"Sorry guys, but I forgot my back- huh?" Stanley stopped in his tracks.
Rosie and Stanley quickly found themselves staring at each other in shock. Rosie had never met a guy this handsome before (unlike when she met Thomas), and Stanley never met a girl this lovely looking before…to him anyway.
"H-hi." stuttered Rosie.
"I-I don't think we've ever met." Stanley added.
"Stanley, we'd like you to meet Rosie." Emily introduced Stanley to her best friend. "She's been friends with our group for a long time."
"Rosie, this is Stanley. He's new to the school." Thomas explained to the pink-haired girl about the new guy.
Rosie slowly held out her hand and Stanley shook it. Before long the two newly met teenagers held hands as they stared long at each other as small blushes appear on their cheeks, it became quite clear that they were smitten with each other. That was something James immediately caught onto.
"Aw look, I think they've fallen for each other." he snickered.
"My, oh my, how sweet." gushed Henry.
Gordon then started singing 'that song'. "Stanley and Rosie, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
The three older teens chuckled as Rosie and Stanley to both snap out of their daze and they blushed in embarrassment as they hastingly let go of each other's hands, and looked away from one other shyly.
"I…should get going now." Stanley said in embarrassment. "I'll see you guys at school tomorrow."
The gray-haired boy then grabbed his backpack and left the Youth Center quickly. Rosie watched him leave with a lovesick expression on her face, before Emily lightly knocked on her head thrice.
"Earth to Rosie, come in." she snarked. "The Youth Center is closing for the night, we have to leave now."
"Huh?" Rosie snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh, sorry guys, I wasn't listening."
But everyone quickly caught onto Rosie though.
"Boy, it's going to be Thomas all over again, huh?" commented Percy innocently.
The other Tidmouth Teens (except Rosie) all nodded in agreement.
Between Earth and the Lunar surface of the Moon in outer space. At the Lunar Palace on the Moon. High up on one of the towers. Inside, Rita was alone in an underground chamber standing before an altar she set up.
"You, young Stanley, you will go under my spell as I call forth the power of the sixth Power Coin!" she announced aloud to no one in particular.
She caresses her Crystal Ball with both hands. The eyes from the skull atop the altar started flashing thrice.
"You will become my evil Green Ranger after you face my Putties in a test." Rita proclaimed.
With that, she began an evil chant in order to summon forth the instrument to the Power Rangers destruction: The sixth Power Coin.
Back at Knapford, Stanley was walking home down an alleyway. He was just minding his own business when he suddenly got ambushed by some Putty Patrollers appearing out of no where. Five of them went and surrounded him.
"Bust my Buttons!" Stanley cried out as he gets into a fighting stance.
The Putties began to attack. As Stanley fought, he used everything he had with him, including his backpack, and even a nearby trash can lid, to fight them off. Eventually, all of the Putties were beaten and they all vanished, leaving the new kid to catch his breath and gather his bearings.
"Gosh, why me?" Stanley asked himself in dismay.
Back in the Lunar Palace, Rita stepped closer to her balcony.
"Yes! This boy truly is the one who shall become my evil Green Ranger!" she laughed. "Prepare my crystal ball to retrieve him."
She then raised her scepter over the balcony. Blue lightning surges about, lighting the scene, then crashing into spark bursts about the place. Finster covered his ears and bent over, while Baboo and Squatt each freaked out and they started hugging in quaking fear as the lights flash.
Back down at Knapford, Stanley went over and picked up his backpack.
"That was like a bad dream." he sighed.
He was ready to leave, when all of a sudden, the sky darkened and with a strong wind gust. Stanley wearily looked around before a cackling laugh ringed the area. He looked up and saw something that scared him. There Rita was, standing atop of a building, smiling down at him.
"W-who are you?" Stanley asked in fright.
"Stanley Hudswell, I have chosen you!" Rita merely replied.
She raised her scepter and aimed it downward. It looked like she was auming right at Stanley.
"NOOOO!" he screamed, as he suddenly warped out in a burst of green fire.
The sky soon cleared back up.
Back at the Lunar Palace on the Moon. Down in the underground chamber, the Skullhead on her alter shot a rainbow beam from eyes into the crystal ball, which glowed with the colourful energy. Rita walked over and picked the crystal ball up, and held it up while talking to Baboo, Finster, and Goldar. The crystal ball revealed a deeply confused and scared Stanley lying down on a table in a dungeon of some sort.
"Where am I?" he asked. "What's going on?"
Rita gave a smile before looking around her.
"What do you think?" she asked her minions.
Squatt nodded profusingly. "He's perfect, your Evilness."
That was all Rita needed to hear. "Receive the power." she said to the crystal ball.
With that she began a evil chant. As the chant went on, the eyes from the skull atop the altar started flashing thrice. In the dungeon, as he becomes illuminated, Stanley lied on the table, encased in cobwebs, in the chamber room filled with candles and a flashing green light. Before long, he sat up in the misty, darkened room, cobwebs peeling off as blue beams of light spotlight from his body. His eyes began glowing with a green and evil presence.
At her altar, Rita smiled with such glee.
"Yes, yes! Arise, my Green Ranger!"
Stanley soon got off the table and he slowly exited the dungeon. Soon, he found his way to the altar where Rita was waiting for him.
"How may I serve, my Empress?" he asked, his voice filled with evil acid.
Rita smiled widely to that and handed him the newly formed sixth Power Coin.
"As a Ranger, you can now enter the Command Center." she stated.
Stanley gratefully took the coin, which glowed with evil green energy as it laid on the palm of his hand. Rita then held her crystal ball up and showed him some images of Zordon and the Tidmouth Teens.
"There you'll disable Zordon and then destroy the Power Rangers: Thomas Billinton, the Red Ranger. Percy Avonside, the Black Ranger. Rosie Vulcan, the Pink Ranger. Toby Holden, the Blue Ranger. And Emily Sterling, the Yellow Ranger. And their four friends, Edward Stewart, Gordon Gresley, James Hughes, and Henry Stanier. And if you're really interested: their other friend, Mavis Drewry."
Over in the Command Center interior, unaware of the impending danger ahead, Alpha and Zordon were both talking.
"But, Zordon, I might miss out." Alpha complained.
"Would you please take this opportunity to recharge while I place myself into a meditative state?" Zordon asked calmly yet sternly.
"Yes, Zordon." Alpha sighed. "You are right, of course."
Zordon then shut himself off, and Alpha walked away mumbling something to himself.
Back at the Lunar Palace on the Moon. In her secret altar chamber, Rita had finished giving Stanley his instructions.
"And now, morph into the Green Ranger!" she commanded.
Stanley looked up straight ahead as he gave a evil smile. Soon his entire body was surrounded by a bright fiery green aura. When it dimmed down, he was now morphed as the new Green Ranger.
The Green Ranger suit had the same general design as the other Ranger suits, with white diamond patterns on the upper torso, white arm gloves (with green diamond designs), white boots (also with green diamond designs), a belt with his Power Morpher on the buckle, and a black gun holster (for his eventual weapon) attached to the right hip, and a helmet to cover his head and face, and also to conceal identity. But a difference was the helmet's design, and the fact he also had a golden collar shield around his upper torso and two golden armbands on both of his upper arms.
Green Ranger then clenched a fist with wicked glee.
"To the fall of Zordon, and the destruction of the Power Rangers and their friends." he said with determination.
"You know what to do, yes?" Rita asked one last time, pointing her scepter at her new minion.
"Your wish is my command, Empress." Stanley bowed respectfully.
With that he teleported out in a burst of green fire.
Back in the Command Center interior a short time later, Alpha was sound asleep on his feet when Green Ranger appeared in a burst of green flame. He went slowly over to the sleeping Alpha and planted something in his circuits (which was a virus). It was then Alpha quickly awoke to it.
"Alert! Alert! Hostile takeover!" he wailed in alarm.
But Green Ranger pulled some of Alpha's exposed circuits. "Sweet dreams, tinhead."
"Alert, alert, alert…"
Alpha fell unconscious both from the virus and the loose wires. On cue, the big plasma tube lightened up and Zordon materialized, he was very surprised to see Green Ranger standing before him.
"How is it possible that you are here?" he asked firmly. "Only one who has a Power Coin may enter this fortress undetected."
Green Ranger shrugged. He then took the Dragon Coin out of his Morpher and held it up smugly.
"I have a Power Coin and the power, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Stanley said arrogantly.
Zordon gasped in horror. "So Rita has finally chosen someone to give it to."
"That's right, Zordan." Stanley nodded, putting his Power Coin back into his Morpher. "I am her Green Ranger, and she is my Queen."
Zordon immediately knew who the mysterious Green Ranger was and began trying to talk to him.
"Stanley, she has you under an evil spell. Let me help, I can save you."
Green Ranger scoffed. "Worry about yourself, old man!"
With that, he began trashing and bashing all of the control consoles without any conscious or remorse. Zordon continued to try in vain to get him to stop.
"No! You must not do this! Alpha! Alpha Five! Wake up!" he pleaded. "Alpha, you must warn the other Power Rangers about this new threat."
But it was no use. Alpha was still unconscious from the virus and pulled wires, and Green Ranger continued to ruthlessly destroy much of the computers in the Command Center, causing the alarms to start going off.
"Stanley, stop! You don't know what you're doing!" Zordon pleaded futilely, before he started to lose his power. "No, I'm losing power. Losing my orientation, losing contact with your dimension."
With one final bash on the console, Zordon began fading away.
"Stanley, NOOOO!" he screamed.
With that, Zordon vanished seemingly for good. Leaving Stanley alone and victorious in his first mission.
"It is done, my Empress." he said to himself. "Zordon has been eliminated!"
He looked around at the damage he mercilessly caused. He had no regrets over doing the deed.
"So now Power Rangers…you're next." he looked over to the empty plasma tube. "So long, Zordon, my work here is done."
Inside the Lunar Palace, Rita had just received word from Finster that Green Ranger was successful in his first task and BOY was she pleased so far.
"Yes! And now for an even bigger surprise!" she looked over at Earth and gave a happy laugh.
In an unknown part of the island, Baboo, Squatt, and Goldar were exploring the area (it was Muffle Mountain), waiting to setup ambush.
"With Zordon out of the way, it's just a matter of time before Rita controls the whole world." Baboo commented.
"Ready, Empress." Goldar stated.
On the balcony of the Lunar Palace. Rita stood ready with her magic scepter.
"Magic wand, make my Goldar grow!" she yelled, as she threw her scepter.
Rita's scepter soared to Earth through outer space. Soon it passed through the atmosphere. The scepter then staked into dirt from the side. It proceeded to unleash energy from its center orb. The scepter energy rippled into the ground beneath, thus causing a quake. Smoke bellowed from the big fault in ground.
Goldar was getting covered in smoke, with the ground quaking around him. Fire then spewed up within the Earth until it smouldered, smoke flowing skyward through the ridge at the top. Goldar rose up amid the smoke, growing to giant height.
Squatt watched this, and grew rather excited.
"Oh, boy! You watch! He'll crush them all!" he stated.
Giant Goldar approached a nearby mountain with his sword held up high.
"And now for an end to those Power Rangers!" Goldar roared.
At Toby's Garage, some of the Tidmouth Teens were busy cleaning the RADBUG and Mavis was present to help them.
"I don't think I've ever seen the RADBUG this clean!" Rosie commented.
"Yeah, well, it's going to be stylin' after I'm done with it." Percy grinned as he held up two sponges. "Percy style!"
"So this is the RADBUG." Mavis looked at the vehicle, then she looked in Toby's direction. "You and Edward have really outdid yourselves, Toby."
"Thanks, Mavis." Toby blushed.
Soon the rest of the Tidmouth Teens arrived and they all began working on getting RADBUG all cleaned up. After some time, it was all clean and shiny. But then, the entire good mood atmosphere ended when a buzz came from Thomas' communicator.
"R-R-R-Rangers. R-R-Rangers." buzzed a voice weakly. "You read me? Please come in."
Thomas answered. "Alpha, you're breaking up. I can't hear you."
Soon the buzzing stopped, Thomas tried to answer, but he all he got was nothing. "The communicators...they're non-functional."
Edward tried the teleportation function, but it too was down. "Teleportation's down too."
"Guys, something is seriously wrong." said Emily in worry.
"We have to get to the Command Center." Mavis added. "If something's wrong, we should let Zordon know."
Edward looked at the Rad Bug and an idea hit his head.
"The RADBUG." he said to everyone. "We can use it to reach the Command Center."
The nine Tidmouth Teens and Mavis all got in the RADBUG.
"Alpha sounded upset." Percy said in concern. "You don't think something happened there do you?"
"Yeah, I think something bad is going down." replied James.
"Rita's something that happened." Edward put in.
"Only one way to find out." Henry said.
"Okay, buckle up, everybody." Toby said. "Here we go."
He turned on RADBUG and it began to rev up its engine. Soon it took off in incredible speeds into the sky as the ten teens scream in terror and surprise. RADBUG flew through the sky, as an aurora flashed in the background.
After what seemed like minutes, the RADBUG arrived at the Command Center through one of its skylight tubes. Upon landing inside the main chamber, the Tidmouth Teens all got out of RADBUG all dizzy.
"Wow." Mavis groaned. "Some ride."
Suddenly they heard Rosie's distressed voice nearby.
"Oh my gosh!" cried Rosie. "Look at this place!"
To the teens shock, the whole entire inside of the Command Center was wrecked. Sparks flew out of the damaged consoles and loose wires dangled from the ceiling.
"What happened here?" asked James.
"A twister certainly didn't trash the place." Henry commented.
"You guys, look!" Mavis cried. "Zordon is gone."
It was true, the big plasma tube no longer had Zordon inside it. Nearby, Alpha was lying on the ground, mumbling words.
"Power Rangers! Power Rangers, come in! I need help!"
The teens all went over to see him, Edward soon started looking him over.
"What's wrong with him?" Rosie asked.
Toby shrugged, as Edward stood up with a grave look on his face.
"Someone must have fed a virus into his data banks." he explained.
"Can you help him, Edward?" Thomas asked.
Edward nodded and started working on fixing Alpha up, as said robot continued muttering words in a loop.
"Power Rangers, come in! I need help!"
Soon Edward finished fixing Alpha up, and he looked and saw the Tidmouth Teens watching him in worry.
"Rangers. Thank goodness you're here." he sighed in relief.
"Alpha, who did this to you?" asked Gordon. "And where's Zordon?"
Alpha felt his head throbbing in pain and he held it.
"All my memory chips have been scrambled." he groaned. "No recollection, was barely able to contact you."
"Somebody obviously broke in to the Command Center." Mavis concluded.
"But how?" Thomas asked. "No one has access to this place without a Power Coin, or are trusting friends of ours!"
"Guys!" called Percy. "Look at this!"
He was referring to the Viewing Globe, it showed an image of Giant Goldar causing damage around the area near Muffle Mountain.
"It's Goldar!" Thomas exclaimed.
"Alpha, we have to stop him." Emily said to the robot.
"Will you be all right?" Rosie asked.
Alpha sighed slightly. "I'm semi-operational." he spoke to Thomas, Percy, Toby, Emily, and Rosie. "You five take care of Goldar. I'll try to locate Zordon."
"We'll also help clean up this place." Edward said, as Henry, James, Gordon, and Mavis all nodded. "Good luck to you guys."
Thomas nodded back, before he held his Power Morpher up.
"It's Morphin Time!"
A stylized lightning bolt strikes in front of a purple circle, behind was a black background; crackling around the lightning bolt and circle were blue energy bolts (with some yellow and pink also present). The morphing sequence was as followed; each teen is seen holding out his/her open Power Morpher inside the image of a giant open Power Morpher, with the teen being surrounded by Ranger-colored electricity shown within what would have been the Morpher's red inside area.
Percy: "Mastodon!"
Rosie: "Pterodactyl!"
Toby: "Triceratops!"
Emily: "Sabertooth Tiger!"
Thomas: "Tyrannosaurus!"
After the morphing calls ended, the shot then zoomed in onto Thomas' face, over which appeared to be a fiery red grid; the grid split vertically to reveal the Red Ranger helmet, then it faded into white with a negative color effect.
The team of morphed Power Rangers all appeared in the Muffle Mountain area, and they posed with their Blade Blasters in Sword mode.
"HYAH!"
"Here they are!" announced Squatt. "Bring on the Putty Patrol!"
One extra-chunky Putty leaped into the air for a punch. Black Ranger dodged the strike, sparkily slashing the regular one with Blade Blaster, then he elbowed the extra-chunky Putty, before kicking it, then slashing it away. Pink Ranger handsprings onto the scene, sparkily slashing a Putty with her Blade Blaster, then doing it again to another.
Giant Goldar watched this as he raised his sword back to a ready position, and then gave a snarl.
"To the beginning of the end for the Power Rangers!" he shouted.
"Whoo-oh! This is going to be fun." Squatt said excitedly, while he looked upward to the left and punched an arm upward. "Go get them, Goldar!"
Giant Goldar then approached the mountain as he held his sword up.
"Get them, Putty Patrollers!" Giant Goldar commanded, while crossing his sword in front of face and holding the blade with left hand. "Get them all!"
Pink Ranger sparkily slashed a Putty, and then did it again after delivering a kick to another.
Giant Goldar loomed over the mountain peak, gesturing his left hand like a claw in and out at it, before shifting it from side to side.
Yellow Ranger slashed a Putty sparkily in chest with Blade Blaster, then spun and did the same to another.
Blue Ranger leaped up as he slashed a Putty sparkily in chest, then turns around and does the same to another in front before posing.
Red Ranger slashed a front Putty sparkily in its chest, then doing the same to one on the left, then spun and got one behind him, finishing with a pose.
Goldar angrily slashed at the mountain peak with his sword, knocking a huge pile of boulders off, then slashing back the other direction. This all caused boulders to start rolling about the valley, Red Ranger held up a fist, then turning to the right, while his teammates dodged the rocks.
"Come on, Rangers, we've got to keep it together!" Thomas stated "We got to stop Goldar!"
The five Rangers all looked to the left, then turn together to the right, reaching to the sky with their right hands and summoning.
"We need Dinozord power, now!"
From the middle of nowhere, a crack in the ground spreads open, releasing a fireball from within. The head of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord slowly rose from the molten red ground. Finally, it rose up from above the fiery molten pit before straightening up amid flames and smoke.
The Mastodon Dinozord surfaced from its icy domain. It exhaled an icy breath from its trunk. The Mastodon then started to stomp through the snow. It was then shown fully walking through the snowy fields of the arctic.
The Triceratops Dinozord appeared within the sands of the desert. Its wheels passed through the desert sands. Soon, the Triceratops raised its head and opened its mouth while driving through the dusty desert.
The Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord was shown sprinting through the jungle. It then opened its mouth and let out a mighty roar. The Sabertooth Tiger then leaped out of the greenery.
A nearby volcano started to erupt. Inside, the Pterodactyl Dinozord soared upwards amid lava lights. It finally flew away from the smoking volcano and headed towards the trees.
The five Dinozords raced along the horizon. Down below, the five Rangers all ceased reaching to the sky with their right hands to the right. And just as quickly, they all leaped up.
"All right!"
Red Ranger leaped up into the sky. The Tyrannosaurus chomped and beared down as it watched its master come towards it. Red Ranger continued leaping up, passing beneath the Tyrannosaurus's jaw. He finally landed up atop of the Tyrannosaurus' head, and then after a few seconds, he dropped inside. Red Ranger dropped into the cockpit of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, and he gestured an arm.
"Time to power up!" he declared.
From there, he slapped his left hand down on palm activator. This caused the display of the Red Ranger helmet to lighten up. Then Red Ranger slapped his right hand down on other palm activator. This caused the console display of the Red Ranger helmet and Red Ranger Zord face to shoot energy to the Tyrannosaurus symbol at the top which began to glowed brightly. Red Ranger then just sat in the cockpit, moving his head and operating the controls out of frame.
The five Dinozords continued to race along the horizon. Blue Ranger and Black Ranger both leap up into the sky, followed by Yellow Ranger and Pink Ranger both leaping up into the sky.
Black Ranger dropped into the cockpit of the Mastodon Dinozord, and he gestured an arm.
"This is Percy. I'm all ready for action!"
Blue Ranger dropped into the cockpit of the Triceratops Dinozord, and he gestured with both arms.
"Toby here. All systems are normal!"
Yellow Ranger dropped into the cockpit of the Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord, and she gestured with both arms.
"This is Emily. This'll be a piece of cake!"
Pink Ranger dropped into the cockpit of the Pterodactyl Dinozord, and she gestured an arm.
"Rosie here. Let's get monkey breath there!"
In the Tyrannosaurus cockpit, Red Ranger gestured his right arm to his chest. He then proceeded to pull out his Power Coin from his belt buckle. Red Ranger held up his Power Coin, which glowed, forming his gleaming Power Crystal as he wiped his hand across from his Coin-holding hand.
"We don't have much time, so let's make this quick!"
He then flipped around his Power Crystal and prepared to insert it.
"Insert your Power Crystal!"
With that said, he inserted his Power Crystal into his control slot with red energy results. Four square combo of each Ranger in their cockpits, each raising their respective Power Crystal and preparing to insert them.
"Right!"
They each insert their Power Crystal into their control slots with coloured energy results. In the Tyrannosaurus cockpit, Red Ranger moved the controls forth.
"Let's combine now!"
The Tyrannosaurus and his fellow Dinozords all raced alongside the horizon, and then they began to combine together.
The Sabertooth Tiger roared out. Suddenly, it went and locked itself into Leg Mode. The Triceratops opened its mouth while in the desert. Just then, it went and folded up its tail. The Tyrannosaurus then went and connected with the Triceratops and the Sabertooth Tiger legs electrically. The Mastodon floated through the air in its component form. Soon, it went and connected with the Tyrannosaurus, causing a pulse of energy throughout.
In the Megazord cockpit, the lights all came on as the Rangers were all seated inside at their stations. The Triceratops wheels passed through the desert sands. The Megazord Tank continued to rumble forth into battle. In the Megazord cockpit, Red Ranger raised a fist up, then forth, and then gripped the controls with both hands.
"All right, guys!" Thomas said confidently. "Powering up Megazord Battle Mode!"
A circle symbol of all five dinosaurs together glowed brightly with Ranger colors.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated." A computer aboard the Megazord spoke.
The Rangers in the Megazord cockpit watched as they rose higher and higher. And soon the Megazord Tank folded up into the body of the standing Megazord. Just then, the Pterodactyl soared downward through the sky. It then folded into the chest component as it headed towards the Megazord's body below. The Tyrannosaurus head then folded down, revealing the Megazord's head as the Pterodactyl connected as the chest plate. Horns folded out of the new head, its eyes glowed, and a bright flash occurred.
"Megazord activated!" The computer said.
And the Megazord posed fully formed amid lightning.
Goldar merely raised his sword and looked all fierce. In the Megazord cockpit, Red Ranger looked up to the heavens.
"Come forth, Power Sword!" he called out.
A sword plummet from the dark and stormy skies. The Power Sword then impaled the ground while surging with electricity, and when the Megazord tried to grip its handle, it couldn't get it with its left hand, so it grabbed the sword instead with its right hand. The Megazord then gestured its Power Sword into a battle ready position, ending with it surging out a shining prism effect from its tip.
"Surrender, Rangers!" Goldar demanded, as he continued to charge forth.
The Megazord, with Power Sword in hand, whipped it about, and then marched forth. It slashed Goldar sparkily in the chest as he passed on by, they then face again, locking swords, until Goldar slided his blade, causing both of them to blasted. Goldar soon brought his legs together and jumped into the sky. He goes into a leaping kick by picking both feet up in midair. The Megazord got its still-smoking chest double-booted by Goldar's feet as he kicked it with a sparking burst result. The Megazord stumbled back, but soon regained balance. Meanwhile, Goldar stayed in the air, back flipping a few rotations. He landed on his feet, then he raised his sword and approached the Megazord menacingly while growling fiercely.
Goldar and the Megazord locked swords up close, and then shift to their sides. Down below, Squatt punched upward with each arm.
"Well, we're out of here!" he cried.
Baboo and Squatt then made like insects and they both 'bugged' out (as in, they've disappeared). Both Goldar and the Megazord switched sides, blades still locked, when Goldar suddenly vanished. This left the Megazord all confused.
At this point, things took a huge turn for the worse. Appearing down below, high up on a part of a cliff, was Green Ranger.
"Prepare to feel the wrath of Rita Repulsa!" he shouted.
In the Megazord cockpit, all five Rangers stood up and look downward to the right.
"What the-?" Thomas gasped in shock.
Then, without any sign of a warning, Green Ranger lowered his arm, looked up, then leaped upward with his arms spread. He managed to reach the top of the Megazord's head.
"Time to meet the Green Ranger!" Stanley snickered wickedly to himself.
With that, he entered the Megazord. In the Megazord cockpit, the Rangers all turned around in complete shock, just as Green Ranger opened the back door, and held up a fist.
"Long live Empress Rita!" he bellowed.
With that, he punched Yellow Ranger in the face. She was then thrown up against console, as sparks burst about the cockpit, overwhelming the five Rangers as they got their butts kicked by the intruder. The Megazord stood there as its head rocked around, sparks and smoke pouring from it and panicked screams from the five good Rangers and sadistic laughter from the one evil Ranger could be heard from inside.
Pretty soon, Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger both fall from the sky, kicking their feet and grabbing at the air. Followed by Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger also fall from the sky, kicking their feet and grabbing at the air. And finally, Red Ranger falls from the sky, upside down, kicking his feet and grabbing at the air. Green Ranger just glided down from the sky, arms out, left leg bent. While the five other Rangers writhed from the fall in the background, Green Ranger landed on his feet in the foreground perfectly.
"You're all finished!" Stanley declared, as he crossed his arms as he held them up and out menacingly.
He rushed into combat and the Rangers all battle this mysterious Ranger. He then kicked over Red Ranger, who rolled away, and then ducked under Blue Ranger's kick, rolled, and blocked Yellow Ranger's kick before kicking her over, then turning around to block Pink Ranger's kick before smacking her aside, then turning and ducking under Black Ranger's high kick. Green Ranger then brought both his feet together and he leaped up. He leaped up and forth, spreading his legs. Yellow Ranger found herself getting Green Ranger's feet locked around her head. Green Ranger also went and grabbed Blue Ranger with his right arm and hooking him around the back of the neck. Green Ranger, while grabbing Blue Ranger's head and and a foot locked around Yellow Ranger's head, then went and knocked the latter down then tossed the former, before turning around.
Pink Ranger soon leaped up and forth with her Blade Blaster in Sword mode out… but Pink Ranger's Blade Blaster strike missed Green Ranger by THISSSS much, who dodged, and then jumped up to kick her.
Up on the balcony of the Lunar Palace, Rita watched the battle with absolute glee.
"YES!" she shrieked happily. "Get 'em good my Green Ranger!"
Back at Muffle Mountain, Green Ranger, now using Pink Ranger's Blade Blaster, clashed with Black Ranger's Blade Blaster, then sparkily slashed Pink Ranger, clashed Blade Blasters with Black Ranger again, kicked over him as he ducked, but then Black got sparkily slashed by Green Ranger anyway. He rolled smoking over beside Pink Ranger, as the other three rushed to their side.
"You okay?" asked Toby worriedly.
"Not really." grimaced Percy.
"Me neither." added Rosie.
Red Ranger then stepped between them and Green Ranger, touching his own chest briefly.
"Stop this!" Thomas cried.
But Green Ranger pulled his back arm and pitched the Blade Blaster forth. Red Ranger got struck sparkily in chest by the flying weapon, causing him to stagger back towards his teammates.
"Thomas, no!" cried both Rosie and Emily in worry.
But that setback wasn't about to stop Red Ranger though, he recovered and rushed back into the fray.
"You think you're so tough, take me on." Thomas challenged.
"With pleasure!" Stanley accepted it, and he also charged forth.
Red Ranger and Green Ranger both go at each other, high kicking their right legs at the same time, thus missing each other. Red Ranger then turned and high kicked over the ducking Green Ranger, followed by Green Ranger doing the same to the ducking Red Ranger. Red Ranger high kicked at Green Ranger, who blocked, then Green Ranger high kicked at the blocking Red Ranger. He then slammed both fists down, and Red Ranger caught them, wrist to wrist. But Green Ranger instantly snapped out of this lock and double punched Red Ranger in the chest, with one last smack aside. This sent Red Ranger rolling over to his teammates, they rushed to his side as he climbed back to his feet. Just as Green Ranger approached them maliciously.
"You Power Rangers aren't very much of a challenge." Stanley taunted. "I think it's time I ended this fight."
He held up both his hands and charged up a multicolored energy into a concentrated force, then he held the glowing green ball of power in front of him, before hurling it forward. The green ball of power shot directly from his hands right into the five Power Rangers, expanding into an explosion that knocked them off their feet. Green Ranger then posed with both arms spread, menacingly and victoriously.
"That's the end of it." he declared evilly.
Later on in the damaged Command Center interior, the Rangers were demorphed and were being treated for some injuries by both Edward and Mavis. Alpha, meanwhile, was hard at work trying to get Zordon back, but all of his efforts were clearly futile.
"Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi! Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi! Zordon, come in!" he cried out. "Zordon! Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi! Zordon. Oh, Zordon! Where are you?" With a heavy sigh, he turned to face the teens. "Rangers, I still haven't been able to bring Zordon back."
"Keep trying." Thomas said dejectedly. "We need answers, now!"
"This doesn't make any sense." Percy started. "A guy in a green costume attacked our Zords. He just busted right in."
"Do you have any idea who he was?" Toby asked Alpha.
"I'm sorry, Rangers, I don't." he replied sadly before he started shaking slightly.
"He's still not completely recovered from the computer virus." Edward concluded.
And his statement proved right, as Alpha went haywire at that moment.
"Quasi-tronic circuitry now in overload, overload." he wailed. "Temporary shutdown."
With that, Alpha fell on his face, unconscious. much to the dismay of the other teens.
"Oh me, oh my, oh dear…" moaned Henry.
"This is bad news." Thomas thought to himself. "First Zordon disappears, and then this green guy shows up. And I think we only got a small sample of his true power."
"This is all so weird." Rosie stated.
"You're telling me." Mavis agreed.
"What are we going do?" Emily asked anyone who could answer her.
"Prepare ourselves." Thomas spoke up.
The other Tidmouth Teens (plus Mavis) all look in his direction as he slowly paced around.
"We don't have Zordon to help us this time around, we'll have to do it on our own." Thomas said to his friends seriously. "I think we've only made it through round one of what's about to be a major battle."
"Round one?" Percy asked in disbelief.
Thomas nodded to his best friend grimly.
"Oh, the indignity!" cried Gordon, as he face palmed himself in shame.
Everyone else watched him silently and in worry, before laughter rang through the area.
"Rumble my legs!" Emily gasped. "Who was that?"
The teens all look around for the voice before they looked towards the Viewing Globe, and they all gasped in horror at what they saw. It was Green Ranger, and it looked like he's delivering a message to them.
"It's him!" Mavis exclaimed as she pointed forth. "That green guy!"
"To the fall of the Power Rangers and their friends." Stanley shouted. "I'll destroy you, once and for all! No matter the cost!"
With that, he erupted into such evil laughter that it echoed throughout the Command Center, and it made the teens all the more terrified. Thomas was right; this battle was sure to be their toughest yet, and this time Zordon wasn't here to help guide them. They were all on their own.
To be Continued?
And there we go, part one is finished. What did you all think? You see, Stanley is one of my favourite characters created by HIT, and so I chose him to be the Green Ranger (and as an eventually love interest for Rosie), I even gave a small clue that it would be him. So if you all have something nice to say about this new chapter, please R&R.
