Power Rangers Dimension Legends 25
Rated K+ for cruder language (non swearing)/fantasy violence. I don't own any anime character in this story nor do I own Power Rangers. I do own the Legends Zords, Beatrice and her two girl buddies, monsters, and Dikornna herself. Here the rangers face off against an old enemy's ally... for Sting King had a mate; Queen Sting! She's out for revenge and nothing short of the outright annhilation of the Power Rangers will satisfy her!
-chapter 25 - Where is Thy Sting?
-Dikorrna's palace
It was a boring time in the old Lord Zedd tower being used by Queen Dikorrna. So far every single one of her plots were foiled by those pesky Power Rangers. She thought she'd break their spirit by taking out the precocious little pink ranger but the replacement fought just as hard as her predacessor. The alien empress was at a wit's end... with her generals looking like a laughing stock and monsters defeated she just didn't have the ambition to attack Angel Grove at the moment. "Oh I'm bored and fresh out of ideas I can't think up any inspiration for monsters. Oooh I am so bored!"
The alien queen heard a ruckus coming from down a nearby hallway. "I wanna see the queen of evil right now!" Some female sounding voice yelled out.
Her generals tried to restrain their uninvited guest... who resembled an armored female humanoid. Two large red insectoid eyes adorned the head while ruby red lips bearing sharpened teeth were gritted. Above them was a set of upward pointed elbowed antennae. The torso was covered by a segmented form. The segmented arms were yellow above the elbow and black below. Massively sharp claws were in place of hands. Powerful yellow looking gauntlets bearing five stinger-like weapons looked ready to take on anyone who crossed her. The legs however were segmented and colored like the arms with the waist adorned by yellow/black striped skirt armor. The feet were yellow with two black claws and a white spike on the high heeled said feet. Sharpened wings sprouted from her back.
The strange she-monster kicked Cruster out of her way and clawed at Machine Master sending sparks from his torso section. The mighty general collapsed to one knee supported by his opposite arm. Gel slithered into the room trying to calm this raging she-beast. "The queen is busy uh... come back tommorrow."
"Back off you walking sac of jello!" The monster said getting his nucleus face and sending off stinger missiles impaling slash pinning Floral Hunter to the water. "I want Astronema now! My hubby went into her service a year ago and never came back!"
"Um you obviously haven't heard the news... The whole United Alliance of Evil was either purified or destroyed by Zordon's death throws including Astronema. I Queen Dikorrna however was locked in an interdimensional pocket. And you are who exactly my good uh... ?" Dikorrna explained to insectoid monster.
"The name's Queen Sting and like I said I'm Sting King's mate who took him from me?" Queen Sting raged wanting answers.
"It pains me to say this but Sting King was destroyed by the Space Ranger's Astro Megazord. However they're somewhere off in the galaxy but you can get revenge on the current team the Dimension Legends Rangers will their destruction satisfy you?" The alien witch explained even further.
The evil Queen Sting was seething at the mention of this bit of grim news the insectoid villainess awaited her orders. "Just tell me where those power pukes are I'll wipe them out."
"Where else... Angel Grove. No go destroy them that's an order." The green skinned empress ordered as the bee creature soluted her and teleported away to earth.

However the rangers themselves were totally unaware of the danger coming towards them. In fact the eight were hosting a martial arts training exercise for the some while the likes of Asuka, Hotaru and Amelia hosted a ballet class. In fact the Amelia and Hotaru were dressed in tutus while (Asuka went in a yellow leotard) corresponding to their respective uniform color. The boys were dressed in gii matching their suit... Nana didn't however go with either despite dressed in a pink gii herself. The youngest ranger had no clue how to do either so by watching maybe just maybe she'd figure them out.
She watched the graceful movements of Asuka and the other girls as they performed their ballet moves. The way the three spun around then slowed down and showed the class of 8 to 12 year olds how properly stretch out on the newly installed railing. Asuka and Hotaru were by far the most flexible of the girls... a feat the redhead attributed to her old exercise lessons from college. Hotaru however had to get used to numerous cramped battlefields as well as landings on her feet from be it falls or explosions which so far had made her young body rather flexible when she landed in awkward spots.
Nana also watched how Amelia encouraged some of the less skilled girls into not giving up. Her scarlet eyes watched the boys next admiring the power they radiated power and skill especially Gohan whose very body was a powerful weapon against the might of Dikorrna. Speaking of the devil Gohan spoke to her. "Hey Nana are ya sure you don't to try out our martial arts course its easier than it looks. You just have to start from the beginning believe it or not even my dad was a novice once."
"No Gohan I'm fine I'll just sit here Jutin's taking me to lunch then to the town's arcade." She admitted as a tinge of blush came on her cheeks. It seemed she liked spending time with Justin... from what she'd heard whispered in school some people said she had a crush on him. She'd no idea what that was however she'd have to ask Asuka or Amelia what it means. She also knew he liked spending time with her maybe he liked her too.
However Asuka, Hotaru and Amelia's students gave a number of childish "oohs" to which Nana did nothing. The redhead figured she was even more naive than she thought. "Oooh the sly boy now you two kids have fun you hear." She said slightly teasing the pink ranger making her blush.
Speaking of the likes of Justin himself had arrived dressed in cut off jean short and a plain blue t-shirt. He handed her a pink kitty hair clip which he put on right then and there. He set it over her pale bangs over her scalp. She blushed again as he put it in her locks. "I guess we should head out then Nanu c'mon lets go get some grub." Justin said taking gentle hold of her hand as he led her out the doorway and onto lunch.
"Hey Amelia is Justin Nana's boyfriend?" A redheaded girl asked the former EVA pilot. Asuka looked to Hotaru who shot a glance at Amelia who looked back to the older redhead who came up with the best answer she could muster up.
"We don't know yet... " Asuka tried to explain as best she could.
"Yeah nothing's official yet." Hotaru added as she tried helping the yellow ranger.
"Right... " The student said not quite convinced of their explanation.
The ballet class then was back on schedule while the martial arts lesson went unhindered as the boys showed their students the importance of warm- up exercises which stretched necessary muscles so the class doesn't get injured when the course gets more intense... as in when the kids got sweating.
Next up was double spin kicks which a few of the girls taking taking the class excelled in however one ignorant guy shot his mouth off over how much of a waste of time it was. "Girls shouldn't be taking karate they should be at home playing with dolls." A few of the guys agreed with him.
Gohan's brow went up in response to the comment. He'd seen two powerful girls excel in martial arts namely 18 and Videl. "Oh really? Hey Asuka could you come over here for a minute? Show him how good you are."
The redheaded girl walked over to the mat and struck a fighting posture while speaking calmly. "Ok kiddo try to take me down."
"Say yer prayers you yellow tinker bell." The student ran at full speed towards the yellow ranger who dodged out of the way and snagged him by the collar and threw him down on the mat with her smiling err rather gloating over him.
"And that girls is how you deal with pigheaded guys." Asuka said dusting off her hands as well as the entire matter.
"Ok I get the point you don't have to gloat about it... (pops shoulder) ouch jeez that smarts." The boy said convinced finally. If a pigheaded kid like that could understand girls could be good at martial arts then there was hope for the world.
As the classes went on and finally finished up the rangers communicators went off signaling potential trouble attacking the town. The seven rangers assembled near the hallway. "Yes Zordon what's happenin'?" Duo joked as he answered the call.
"Rangers please report to the Command Chamber immediately. I detect a disturbance in the city's power grid." The sage explained over the device. The seven teenagers teleported away down to the Command Chamber.
-Command Chamber
Once the team had teleported in they saw Billy and Shinji working on collecting data on the newest monster to threaten the city. The likes of Zordon watched the viewing globe. Billy read off the offending creature's name and abilities while the orb showed what it looked like. "This creature is named Sting Queen she can fire off toxic stingers from her gauntlets, her claws are also tipped with a highly corrosive acid, and she's extremely strong. More so than for her relative small size suggests."
She resembled an armored female humanoid. Two large red insectoid eyes adorned the head while ruby red lips bore sharpened teeth. Above them was a set of upward pointed elbowed antennae. The torso was covered by a segmented form. The segmented arms were yellow above the elbow and black below. Massively sharp claws were in place of hands. Powerful yellow looking gauntlets bearing five stinger-like weapons looked ready to take on anyone who crossed her. The legs however were segmented and colored like the arms with the waist adorned by yellow/black striped skirt armor. The feet were yellow with two black claws and a white spike on the high heeled said feet. Sharpened wings sprouted from her back.
"Boy is she ugly. What a nasty looking bug." The gold ranger surmised looking over the monster's creepy looks.
"Ugly is right... " Hotaru said agreeing with Amelia.
"She's ugly enough for radio." Duo added his trademark comment. "Waita minute what about little Nanu?"
Answering the black rangers question the sage voiced his plans. ''Have no fear black ranger I will contact her to meet you at the battle site.''
''Let's get in the action then!'' Gohan called out as he hollered out the start of the morphing call. "Red Draack Ranger Power!"
"Black Garuda Ranger Power!" Shouted Duo.
"Yellow Leviathan Ranger Power!" Asuka called out.
"Blue Chimaera Ranger Power!" Kai yelled.
"Green Pegasus Ranger Power!" Yusuke called out.
"Gold Centaur Ranger Power!" Amelia yelled out.
"Violet Minotaur Ranger Power!" Hotaru called out lastly but not least as the seven warriors teleported away.

Once the rangers arrived at the battle they saw the likes of not only Nana but also Justin in his Turbo uniform. Justin used his Turbo Hand Blasters to barrage the she villain only for Sting Queen to not only effortlessly block all of his shots while using her wings to hover dash increasing her speed. Her sharp wings sliced past both rangers sending sparks from their uniforms. The blows knocked them to the ground and the creature saw her ranger prey.
As the rangers whipped out their signature weapons the bugly villainess just laughed at them. "Really rangers you think those metallic toys can damage me? Well let's see if you can then. Claylems! Super Claylems attack!"
Queen Sting then summoned up several dozen Claylems Super Claylems as backup. The Rangers sliced, diced, and smashed through the regular goons but the Super Claylems were a lot stronger so the green, gold and violet rangers formed the Mythic Supreme Cannon and wiped them out. By now Nana and Justin got back on their feet and resumed their offensive. As Nana fired off energy arrows she was covered Amelia's Gatling fire... which Queen Sting shrugged it off like nothing. She swiped them numerous times with her deadly claws sending them crumpling to the ground.
"It's her exoskeleton its defusing most of our weapons fire!" Gohan yelled figuring out the alien bug's strategy. "Yusuke let's take her."
The red and green rangers rushed only for her to barrage them with her stingers. Sparks erupted from their uniforms as the two collapsed. Gohan got up only to get a swift kick in the gut then a high powered uppercut sending him flying backward several feet and landing hard.
"Why you evil little ARGHHH!" Yusuke tried to say only to be hit with intense pain as he fell to the grassy ground.
Queen Sting just laughed as Asuka ran to enact her revenge. The redhead wasn't as strong as the green and red rangers but she was as stubborn. "What did you do to them huh?! Huh!?"
"Nothing but use my poison on them... wanna try me hmm?" Queen Sting asked as the alien bug and yellow ranger traded a few punches then just as the monster was about to strike a foot sweep she was slashed at her back by Duo and Hotaru then barraged by the others blaster fire which fired off her stingers hitting all but Duo, Amelia, and the yellow ranger.
Charging at the black ranger she gave him a diagonal slash then a slashing uppercut then swatting away the black ranger. Next she slashed, slashed and slashed at Amelia cutting right through her suit's outer layers exposing the underlying circuitry as Amelia collapsed onto the grass.
"You... you... you dirty... stinging... crummy little! Come here!" Duo growled as he swiped at his foe only she caught his axe and gave him for his actions a punishing barrage of stinger blows to his chest sending him flying backward and skidding along the grass.
"You'll pay for this! Here I go!" Asuka yelled as she tried to slash her foe only for Queen Sting to evade it. She tried a few stabdings but still no luck since Queen Sting took to the air. Asuka used her blaster to try to shoot down the bug villainess but the wasp evaded every shot. Speeding towards the yellow ranger Q. Sting delivered a powerful punch to the yellow ranger's gut sending her flying upwards then double hammer smashing her hard onto the grass.
Trying to get up unable Asuka could only watch as the alien goon laughed at her plight. "Ahahahah so soorry rangers but it looks like you're all wore out. So how does my poison taste hmm? I designed it specically to eat through your color coded clown suits." Queen Sting then teleported away.
"Come back here argh... " Asuka groaned out weakly as she passed out.
-later at the Command Chamber
Asuka slowly awoke as her deep blue eyes slowly opened... revealing she was back at the Command Chamber on a bed-like gurney. Her headed ached as did her body as she she rubbed her eyes as everything came into focus. "W-w-w-wha-t-t-t what happened? How'd we all get here we were fighting Queen Sting then she started whippin us... "
Shinji happened to be near where she laid. He put an icepack on her forehead. "You all got hit by Queen Sting's poison from her claws and stingers. You were lucky she retreated when she did. I teleported you all back."
The others slowly stirred too... and all of them were given a dose of antidote to counteract the poison they'd been afflicted by. Another of Zordon's allies Alpha 5 had returned from Eltar and was assisting the likes of Billy and the former EVA pilot. "Aye aye aye that Dikorrna really fries my circuit boards. Anyways its just like old times isn't it Billy?"
''Yeah but right now we gotta keep our minds on how to defeat Queen Sting. The antidote I synthesized should work for 30 minutes only so I recommend using both the Legends Hyper Cannon and Mythic Supreme Cannon to take her out. She's clearly an endurance fighter and I can't keep making antitoxin for you all.'' Billy replied and instructed the others of the course of action. "I've found power fluctuations in the city it seems that Queen Sting's wing can create sonic waves that interfere with electrical power. She's been sighted near the south power plant."
"Ok then guys back into action!" Gohan called out as he and the others put their helmets back on and teleported away back into battle.
"Godd luck rangers." Alpha said softly hoping they'd make it.
"Don't worry Alpha I'm sure they'll be fine." Shinji added... though he was young he'd proven useful at the Command Chamber.
-begin We Need a Hero by Ron Wasserman - South Power Plant
Once the rangers teleported to the power plant they were greeted by the likes of none other than Queen Sting. However this time the heroes were prepared and readied themselves. "Well rangers come back for another beating eh? Well bring it on!"
"Garuda Axe!" Duo called out as he threw the axe into the sky.
"Manticore Bow" Nana called out throwing her Manticore bow. The bow then attached itself to the underside the axe's gun barrel handle.
"Leviathan Daggers!" The yellow warrior called out throwing her dagger weapons. The daggers then attached themselves to the bow's outer edges.
Now it was Kai's turn to do what he needed to do he called out loudly. "Chimaera Lance! The lance split in half along the long staff section and merged w/the inner bow section with a high metallic clang.
Gohan himself leapt up and yelled out with fury. "Draach Saber!" He then set the blade on the axe's handle's opposite side that is the un-bladed section. The Legends Hyper Cannon was ready.
"Legends Hyper Cannon ready!" The five all call out.
The other three rangers went to combining their weapons too. "Centaur Gatling!" Amelia yelled as her gun floated in the air.
"Minotaur Scythe!" Hotaru called as the scythe split in half and attached to the gun barrels sides.
"Pegasus Banryuu!" Yusuke yelled as he threw his blade upon the gatling gun top.
"Mythic Supreme Cannon ready!" The three others all out.
"FIRE!" The eight all shout as the two combined weapons five beams of red, yellow, blue, black, and finally pink energy swirled around the five and spiraled into the central axe's gun barrel. Then three beams of green, gold and violet light flew into the gatling barrels and two huge beams shot out and blasted the alien goon but it wasn't enough... Sting Queen was charred but still alive.
''It'll take more than that rangers to take me down!'' Q. Sting cackled out as she sent off barrages of her toxic stinger missiles.
Luckily this time Gohan blasted them with small ki blasts essentially stopping the problem before it really started. "Darn you rangers! Dikorrna give me the power to wipe out these puny ants!"
Seconds later the familiar white enlargement lightning made the insectoid creature grow to gigantic size. ''Now I'm gigantic I'll show you all what a mad hornit I am!''
Queen Sting then went about tearing the nearby hillside to bits with her claws while the rangers got ready. "We need Legends Zord power now!" Gohan called out as the others followed.
"Blue Chimaera Zord power!" Kai called out.
"Black Garuda Zord power!" Duo called.
"Yellow Leviathan Zord power!" Called out Asuka.
Going on Nana called out next. "Pink Manticore Zord power!"
Green Pegasus Zord power!" Yusuke yelled.
"Gold Centaur Zord Power!" Amelia followed after him.
Hotaru swiftly called out her Zord too. "Violet Minotaur Zord Power!"
Soon the Zords came along as the eight warriors were transported into their respective cockpits. Both Megazords began their respective transformations as the twin machines landed with a heavy metallic thud upon the rocky ground outside the power plant.
-begin Fight by Ron Wasserman
As the three powerful titans started their combat it seemed that Queen Sting was still too powerful for the rangers. Her hate for the Space Rangers for taking away her mate made her strong... strong enough to to take on two Megazords at once. She blocked the Legends double punches and gave the Mythic Wing a fast powerful kick to the lower torso making it double over. She barraged the Legends with her stingers sending crumpling to the ground backwards with a thud.
The Mythic Wing tried to help but was hit again in the lower torso and doubled over but the monster punched the section hard repeatedly sending out spark geysers. She then threw it over her back while the Legends tried attacking but she punched it hard in what would be its gut... then punching hard sending it flying upwards then jumping to smash it hard onto the ground creating a small crater.
"Yusuke this ain't working she's creaming us here!" Gohan said over the communications line to Yusuke.
"Yeah she tearing us apart. Right G we need to finish this... '' The green ranger replied back. Next the two Megazords prepared their finishers the "Legends Saber Slash" and "Double Thunder Bolo Blast" and slash went the saber which frankly did nothing as Queen Sting caught the blade tip with her sharpened gauntlet and picked up the Legends and gave it a heave ho over her shoulder and crashed on the ground.
The Double Thunder Bolo Blast fared no better as it was blocked and sent skyward where a big explosion marked its position. Queen Sting using her sharpened wings generated a powerful sonic shockwave which was directed directly upon the Mythic Wing knocking it onto its knees. "You rangers make me sick. Your predecessors destroyed Sting King now I'm gonna annihilate you! Say nighty night rangers!"
Gohan knew of one last option left. "Orochi Yamata Carrier we need you now!" Gohan called out.
Suddenly the earth started ripping apart as something huge, mechanical and bearing eight long snake–like heads, four tread-like wheel sets, and its tail looked like it formed two huge buster guns.
The Orochi reared up over Queen Sting as the back section opened up and the tail guns then attached to the shoulders. The Legends Megazord then teleported to the section while the Mythic Wing separated into the three component Zords. A slot appeared in a hidden control panel while the saber was inserted inside the slot as the Megazord prepared itself. The Pegasus was still in warrior form as two handles appeared from a control panel while handles appeared for the centaur and Minotaur too.
Hovering above the ground Q. Sting wasn't afraid and tried barraging it with her stingers but the Ultrazord was uneffected by any of her attacks. "I don't care how big your toys get I will annihilate off the face of the planet!"
Lighting crackled around the darkened sky as the eight serpentine heads roared into the loud noise ridden air. "Legends Ultrazord battle ready! Eight Headed Serpent…" The basic four started to say.
"Thunder Blast!" The green, gold and violet rangers finished as a huge last of lightning shot from the sky and right into the biggest snake head and dark energy orange energy began collecting when suddenly the huge blast erupted from the eight heads and headed straight toward the alien goon. The blast completely vaporized Queen Sting in one giant powerful shot leaving no trace of her.
"Rangers victory is ours. Great job." Gohan said congratulating his great team.
-later back at the Surf Spot
Back at the Surf Spot things were pretty much relaxed and Shinji had come up from the Chamber to celebrate with them. The group had ordered their favorite drinks and were about to toast when the little redheaded girl from before from the ballet class asked her a question. "Hey Asuka is Shinji yer boyfriend?"
The yellow ranger looked to her teammates but their looks meant she had to figure it out herself. She looked to Shinji next who shrugged a bit. "Yes... he is... Shinji is my boyfriend."
"He looks a little scrawny and a bit of a dork." The girl said looking him over a bit. He wasn't very impressive to say the least though his face was a little cute.
"Well he's my dork then so there." Asuka replied in a slightly husky voice.
