The Trinity Megazord grabbed one of the Azurezord's arms, and twisted it around, to stab itself in the gut but the hole was repaired like before.
Slasheria: Stupid megazord. You can't easily destroy this one. We've made various preparations.
The Azurezord punched the Trinity Megazord down. The Trinity Megazord quickly recovered, and the two began to brawl. On the ground...
Heather had finished healing the last of Hanzo's wounds. The rangers looked at their dragons. Lauren sighed.
Lauren: Redi-Kaze. I suggest you guys take some rest. This is the worst I've seen you guys.
Inferuno: I'm fine actually. I'll stick around and assist the trinity if need be.
Ragnarok: Still, it is a good idea for some rest. I'm heading back to the mountains.
Ragnarok got up, and flew off. It was also in that moment that the dragons turned into light orbs of their respective colors, and vanished. At the same time, Lauren nodded to herself. It was if she had decided upon something.
Lauren: Ryder.
Ryder: Yeah?
Lauren: Before you and Inferuno go to assist the guardians...I want to see your face.
Ryder was a little confused by that, but he willed his visor and mouth cover to retract. Lauren did the same she went up, and passionately kissed him. He was surprised, but he quickly responded. The other rangers watched in awe. Lauren then broke the kiss.
Lauren: Good luck.
Ryder nodded, as his visor and mouth cover slid back on. He hopped onto his G-rider, and went into Inferuno. By that time, the Trinity Megazord had actually carried away the Azurezord.
Carl: You think that they're heading for the quarry?
Tyrell: If they are, then those guardians have the right idea.
Karmyn: Let's ride then!
All the rangers got on their G-Riders, and sped to the giant quarry, when the Azurezord was slammed down.
Slasheria: That was new. Being carried around. Dammit I wanted to blow some people up. Oh well...guess I can when I take care of this bad boy.
Trinity Megazord: Shining Impulse!
The megazord's armog glowed, and shot forth a ray of light. The azurezord took very little damage, and slashed the Trinity Megazord. That was when it was struck by a fast spinning Inferuno. Once back to normal, Inferuno then began to bite and claw at the Azurezord, only to be tossed aside.
When he was tossed aside, that was when the others arrived. A bunch of small holes was seen from the marks, and Lauren saw a really deep one. With that, she dismounted, and wind teleported to the hole before it could close up.
Jake: What is she doing?
Heather: I don't know.
It was then, that they heard Lauren's voice over the communication line.
Lauren: guys. As good of a fight as this has been, even with the Trinity Megazord, I don't know if we can get the job done. The synthesizing agent that was stolen was one that absorbs energy, correct?
Jake: I believe so.
Lauren: Well because it got fully charged up before our battle, we're basically providing an infinite battery. I'm going to find a way to destroy the core. If I can, This zord is history. I'm also planning on taking Slasheria with me.
Heather: Good plan.
Karmyn: Wait...what do you mean...take slasheria down with you?
That was when the line went dead. The remaining rangers looked at each other, all with worry. Even with the helmets blocking, they could tell each other's expressions.
The Azurezord then continued to fight the Trinity Megazord. While the Azurezord did absorb a lot of the attacks, it couldn't do much damage. Lauren, while heading to were Slasheria was, messed everything up. When she reached Slasheria, she punched her down.
Slasheria: YOU!
Lauren: Yeah. It's me. It ends here Slasheria. You're going down.
The two began to brawl. Slasheria managed to put the Azurezord on autopilot to make sure she could fight Lauren.
It became brutal quickly. Both being wind masters, used wind to try to destroy each other. All they did was further damage the Azurezord. They were both rocked back into the cockpit when the zord was knocked down. That's when Lauren hit the Self destruct button.
Lauren: That was convenient.
It was then, that Lauren noticed a countdown timer, of only twenty seconds. She noticed that Slasheria was trying to escape. But Lauren stopped her, by pinning her down, and knocking her out. Lauren then noticed she herself had no time to escape.
Lauren: Guys...Ryder...I'm...
She couldn't even complete it. She clenched her fist, and the azurezord exploded. The rangers all watched in horror, knowing that Lauren didn't escape.
Ten minutes later, the rangers, plus Hanzo and the guardians were looking for Lauren (the guardians looking from above). But all they found was debris. No sign of etiehr slasheria or Lauren.
Ryder: No. It can't be.
Jake: Lo...
All the rangers hung their heads in sadness. But Ryder's temper flared up, causing him to transform. He began to shoot out fireballs randomly, trying to take the stress away. But no matter what...it didn't help.
A couple hours later, in the old Dino lab...
Tommy: How could YOU let this happen?
He was mad. Kim and haley were both crying a lot, having lost somebody close to them. Kim more so, for obvious reasons. Tommy then grabbed Ryder. But ryder didn't take to kindly to that, and he grabbed Tommy's arm, and used his fire power to burn it.
Ryder: We would have stopped her if she told us her plan. Do you really think that you're the only one upset here? Dr. O...she may have been your daughter, but to me...she was everything. I love her. It...it should have been me.
Tommy was about to reply, but he saw the sadness amongst everyone. He sighed, and let a couple tears drop.
Tommy: I just...can't believe it.
Everyone remained silent. They had to, for they lost a dear friend. However...Ryder looked towards the sky. He growled.
Ryder (thoughts): you happy now Azalia? HUH! I swear, next time I see you...I'm youing to barbeque your ass. I will...have my revenge!
Elsehwere, on Azalia's Island fortress...
Azalia had been throwing things around for quite some time. She was clearly mad as hell. Lothor didn't even bother to stop her.
Azalia: Dammit. That blasted wind ranger. She ruined months of hard work. And Slasheria...I thought she was more competant then that. I thought for sure she could have made sure the Azurezord remained intact. And then...those damn guardians. I hate them!
Lothor: Easy there dear. I know you're mad. I know the feeling. However, the rangers are weak. That's the bright side you need to look on. The wind ranger was their leader, and without their leader, they're going to fal apart.
Azalia stopped, looked at Lothor, and smirked. She nodded, and even laughed to his answer. It was the kind of laugh that showed her agreement.
Azalia: I had forgotten about that. Yes...Things will be much easier now. We'll keep at them. Eventually they will grow tired. However. We must scan doe that emerald. The emerald will have survived no problem. But I don't sense it on Earth.
Lothor: Then we shall prepare for a voyage. Party, kill, get married, and do what we please.
Azalia: YEAH! That sounds like-wait a second...you said get married, right?
Lothor: Yes I did. I'm not letting such a beautifully evil creature, that you are, get away a second time. So yes...consider this a proposal.
Azalia was stunned. But she did smile. She ran up, and tackled Lothor down, and passionately kissed him. The legitimate happiness was evident in her eyes, although her evil glint was always there as well.
Azalia: Well...we already have history. Plus yu are without a doubt...an amazing lover. So yeah. Let's do it. We'll rule the universe, as husband and wife!.
Lotyhor smiled. Like Azalia, it showed his happiness, but also the evilness that he was known form.
2 days later in Reefside...
The monsters weren't coming. This was good. Hanzo kept going back to the site. Ryder had joined him today. Their mission was simple. They were still trying to find something. Even if it was just the emerald. For they both knew it survived. Ryder though, was having a very hard time keeping his emotionsin check.
Hanzo: Easy there. I know how you feel. Ryder glared at Hanzo, but nodded. He knew Hanzo was telling the truth. He then sighed.
Ryder: Lauren...
With that, a few more tears streamed down the fire dragon ranger's face. He dared not wipe any away.
A/N: And that's it. The Azurezord chronicles are done. With that, comes the end of the first 'season'. Yeah it's on a sad note. But inspite of that, I will be posting the next 'season' up very soon. Which will include more season crossovers (possibly including Samurai), and a lot of twists that will certainly be worth talking about.
Also, if anyone who's been reading this story can use photoshop (or any editing program) wants to design me a pic of the Trinity Megazord, that would be awesome. In fact...the one who has the closest one, will receive a spoiler for the second season (just a little something to look forward to). Again, thank you for the reviews, I highly appreciate it, and I hope to get the same responses for the next 'season'.
