Chapter 25: I Dream of Nightmares
It was a late Monday night, where the Rangers were coming home from Hollywood. Courtney and Haley finally arrived before midnight. When they got home they were greeted by their parents and their younger sister.
Later that night Haley was getting ready to go to sleep, Courtney walked into the room, "Hey Helay," she started, "I got a quick question for you."
"What is it?" Haley asked.
"Well I'm just wanted to know if you know how Zedd and Rita plans their attacks?" Courtney asked.
"Well that mostly depend on what kind monster that they'll use, but we just pay attention if something is unusual or out of place," Haley explained, "Besides if something's wrong, Zordon and Alpha will let us know."
"Oh okay," Courtney replied. Then she started to walk out of the room, "Well that's all I wanted to know. Good night."
"Good night," Haley said back.
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were the ones that were still up plotting on how to defeat the Power Rangers. "What can we do now to stop the Power Rangers?" Zedd wondered.
"I have no clue," Rita replied, "Those Rangers are always confident about defeating us. And it makes me sick!"
"That's it!" Zedd shouted, "We need to shatter the Rangers confidence. That way they won't be able to fight back any monster that we send down."
"And I think the best way to do that is to give the Power Rangers each a nightmare that is so dark that they can shatter their confidence for good."
Soon Rita felt Zedd's arms wrapping around her waist and Zedd placing his head on Rita's shoulder, "Such a brilliant plan my dear," he said, "That evil mind of yours is one of the reason I married you."
"But what was the main reason you married me?" Rita asked.
"Because you are the most beautiful woman in the entire galaxy," Zedd replied making Rita giggle.
"Sorry to disturb you love birds," Zedd and Rita jumped in surprise to see the shadow figure known as Darkseid, "But I heard of what you want to do to the Power Rangers and I have a demon that will help you." Then a card appeared in Zedd's hand, "This demon is called Knightmare and he will be able to create dark nightmares for those Rangers."
Later that night in Tyler's dream, he was walking towards a mic that was in the center of the stage, dressed in a black tux. He started to clear and started to sing opera. Everything was going well until midway through the song his voice started to crack. When he first cracked, he quickly covered his mouth as the people in the audience started to laugh at him. Then each person in audience turned into shadow creatures with glowing red eyes and started to attack Tyler.
In Jon's dream, he was singing on American Idol. When he finished singing his song. It was time to see what the judges think. "Okay Jon," Simon started, "That was indeed the worst performance I have ever heard. You are a disgrace to all humans and you should never sing again."
Jon was surprised to see that Randy and Kara agreed. Then the three of them turned into shadow creatures with glowing red eyes and attacked Jon.
In Haley's dream, she was running though the woods chasing Goldar and Scorpina, who had her sister Courtney. she came to a halt when she saw Goldar and Scorpina stop and holding Courtney over the edge of a cliff. "If you move, your sister will meet her end," Goldar said. Scorpina then smiled and attacked Haley. She dodge Scorpina's attack then she heard Goldar laughing, "You moved Yellow Ranger. Say goodbye to your sister." Goldar then let go of Courtney letting her fall down the cliff.
"NOOOO!" Haley screamed as she tried to get to her sister, but Scorpina won't let her.
"You failed as a Power Ranger!" Goldar shouted as he and Scorpina turned into Shadow creatures and attacked Haley.
In Paige's dream, she was driving her car in the middle of the night. She couldn't see where she was going. Soon she felt something hit the back of her car. "What the hell?!" she shouted.
She looked and saw cars driving right next to her and crashing into her. Paige looked into the cars to see shadow creatures with glowing red eyes. When their eyes meet, the shadow creatures attacked her.
In Chris's dream, he was wondering around the grayish school hallways. He noticed that everyone was ignoring him. As he continued to walk down the hallway he was tripped by someone. He looked up to see some of his friends, "Why did you guys do that?" he asked.
"It's simple, we no longer need your kind in this school," one friend said as they all turned into shadow creatures and attacked Chris.
In Brittany's dream, she was walking though the mall with Julian and Jon. Soon they heard a noise, when Brittany to see what made the noise she saw that Jon, Julian, and everyone else in the mall were gone. Then the mall got darker and darker until shadow creatures with glowing red eyes attacked her.
In Emile's dream, he was wondering around the school hallways. He wasn't paying attention and bumping into Paige make her drop he books. "Sorry about that Paige," Emile apologized as he bend down to pick up Paige's book.
"How do you know my name?" Paige asked.
"We're friends Paige, don't you remember?" Emile asked.
"Sorry, but I think you don't exist," Paige said as Emile looked at himself and saw that he was fading away. Then everyone in the hallway turned into shadow creatures and attacked him.
In Z's dream, he was sitting in a office talking to a man, "So how do you like my idea for a story?" Z asked.
"Well I read it and the only thing I have to say is..." the man started, "... it was the worst thing I ever read! And you should be ashamed of yourself!" Then the man turned into a shadow creature with glowing red eyes and attacked Z.
At the Command Center, the alarms were going off, "Ayeyaiyai! The alarms!" Alpha said with a night hat on. Alpha started to press buttons to search for a monster, but there was no result. "This is odd, the scan said that there are no monsters."
"Alpha we should check on the Rangers," Zordon suggested.
"I'm on it," Alpha said as he pressed a few buttons and the Rangers appeared on the viewing globe to see them all tossing and turning in discomfort. "Oh what's wrong with them?" Alpha franticly asked.
"It must be the work of another of Darkseid's demon, Knightmare," Zordon explained.
"What should we do?" Alpha franticly asked again.
"Alpha you first need to calm down," Zordon said.
"Okay," Alpha replied calmly.
"Now teleport the Rangers and their Morphers to the medical bay," Zordon started to explain. Alpha pressed a few buttons and the Rangers were teleported to the medical bay, "Now go down there and use the equipment to connect the Rangers' dreams with each other then place their Power Coins in their hands."
"I'm on it," Alpha said as he made his way to the medical bay.
Alpha arrived to a large white circular room with eight mechanical beds, with each Ranger on it in the center, in a circle as well. He quickly took the Power Coins from the Morphers and placed each coin in the respective Ranger hands. Then Alpha started to press some buttons that made small bowl devises appeared over each Ranger's face. "Okay Zordon I'm done, now what?" Alpha said.
"Now we just wait," Zordon replied.
In the dream world there was a light in the darkness that was growing brighter and brighter until the Rangers appeared, in their Power Suits. "What the hell?!" Tyler shouted.
"God this has to be the weirdest that I ever had," Brittany said.
"Wait what do you mean?" Jon said, "I thought that this is my dream."
"This is just too confusing," Chris stated.
Soon the Rangers started to hear a demonic laugh coming from all direction, "Who's there?!" Tyler demanded.
"So together you may have broke though my nightmares but you won't be able to stop me!" it said.
"Show yourself!" Jon shouted.
Then the Rangers arrived in a mountain like region that was barren of vegetation and the pale moon's light gave the area an eerie feeling of death. The in a cloud of purple smoke, a demon in metal knight's armor will bull horns coming out of his head, a black cape of fire, and it had a yellow metal face of a man. "I am Knightmare, a servant to Darkseid."
"So you're with Darkseid, that make you are enemy," Tyler said, "Alright guys ready Javelins!" Each Ranger pull out their Javelins and got ready to fight.
Knightmare just chuckled and said, "In the realm of dreams, your weapons are useless." The Ranger noticed that their Javelins turned into snakes and wrapped around the Rangers wrist. Knightmare then pulled out a metal sword that was covered in fire "Now sleep for an eternity!" Knightmare shouted as he swung his sword and hit each Ranger and knocked them down. The Ranger tried to get back up but Knightmare attacked again, knocking them back down. "Give up Rangers, you can never stop me."
"We'll never give up," Paige started, "We're the Power Rangers."
"She right we were chosen to stop creeps like you," Emile added.
"And besides you're just a dream, you're not real," Heley stated.
"I am real!" Knightmare shouted let me show you how real my blade is!" Knightmare started to charge at the Rangers. he tried to slash his blade though the Ragers but it just past though each Ranger.
"See you're a dream," Tyler said, "you can't stop us."
Knightmare let out a low 'grrr' sound before he disappeared.
At the Command Center's medical bay, the Rangers were waking up, "Ranger's your awake!" Alpha said.
"Alpha what happened?" Chris asked.
"The demon, Knightmare, had entered all your dreams and tried to destroy your confidante," Alpha explained.
As the Rangers were getting off the beds, they all noticed that they were still wearing their night cloths. "This is odd," Jon stated.
"Rangers come to the Power Chamber," Zordon commanded, where the Rangers soon followed.
"What is it Zordon," Tyler asked as the Rangers arrived in the Power Chambers.
"Rangers it seemed that Knightmare made it to the real world you must stop him," Zordon explained.
"Okay Zordon we'll deal with it," Tyler said, "It's Mophin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
"So the Ranger think that they just conquered means that they can stop Knightmare," Rita ranted.
"Now they'll face a more powerful Knightmare," Zedd added.
Rita and Zedd crossed their staffs and shouted, "Make our monster grow!" lightning shot down and hit Knightmare making him grew into a giant.
"We need the Zords of Light now!"
The Dragon Zord flew from the sky.
The Phoenix Zord flew out of a volcano.
The Lion Zord ran out of the plains.
The Serpent Zord emerged from the earth.
The Frog Zord hopped out of the swamp.
The Turtle Zord emerged from the ocean and walked on land.
The Saber-Toothed Tiger Zord Ran out of the jungle.
"Come Ark, Ship of Darkness!"
Ark flew in from space.
The Rangers teleported to their cockpit of their Zords.
The Dragon Zord's wings and arms started to fold in, as well as the Frog Zord's legs. And they connected with each other.
The Lion and Saber-Toothed Tiger Zords started to fold down as bars to connect to the Frog Zord appears at the ends and connected with the Frog Zord.
The Turtle Zord's head ducked into the shell as its legs became arms and in flew down on the Dragon Zord.
Then the Serpent Zord wrapped itself around the Megazord's waist.
Then the Phoenix Zord flew from behind opens up to form the head and lands on top.
"Ark, Armorzation!"
The Ark broke into different pieces and flew to the Megazord, where it became armor for the Megazord.
Knighmare charged at the Armored Megazord with his sword. The Armored Megazord pulled out its swords and started to defend itself.
"You are weak to stop me!" Knighmare shouted as a ball of red energy from in his hand and hit the Armored Megazord, knocking it down.
Knightmare walked over to the grounded Megazord, "You can't stop me," he said as he raise his sword getting ready to attack again.
"Fire Lightning Gem!" Z shouted as the Ark's Lightning Gem fired lightning knock Knightmare away.
"Surprised attacks shows weaknesses," Knightmare said as the Armored Megazord got back up.
"Weakness?" Haley started, "We'll show you the power of the Armored Megazord."
The Armored Megazord charged at Knightmare and slashed its swords making sparks fly when they hit Knightmare then knocked him down.
The Armored Megazord slowly approached Knightmare, but then Knightmare's cape flew off of Knightmare and wrapped around the Armored Megazord. Knightmare started to laugh as he got back up, "Now it's the end or you Rangers."
In the cockpit of the Megazord, sparks were flying everywhere. "He got us in some sort of trap!" Brittany stated.
"The system is overloading!" Emile pointed out.
"Come on guys, we need to end this," Tyler said.
As Knightmare got close to the Armored Megazord, it tore opened the cape and slashed its swords that cut Knightmare's sword in half. "I don't need a sword to beet you!"
The Armored Megazord crossed its arms with its swords was glowing gold and purple.
Go Go Power Rangers!
Then the Armored Megazord slashed its swords that made a X-beam that hit Knghtmare.
Go Go Power Rangers!
"Forgive me Princess Darkseid!" Knightmare screamed as he fell to the ground and exploded.
Go Go Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Haley jumped down to get to Knightmare's card. She found it and touched it which was set on fire and was completely destroyed.
Back on the moon, Rita was furious, "Those cursed Power Rangers ruined..." Rita the let out a big yawn, "I'm too tired to rant. How about you dear?" She turned to see Zedd sleeping on the throne, "Good idea," Rita said as she sat next to Zedd, rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
The next day, Tyler woke to his alarm clock, 'Damn, what a night,' Tyler thought, 'And school starts in a few days.'
Then Tyler got up and started to get ready for the day.
A/N: Sorry for being late, but here it is. And for those who submitted a monsters, I'll have them come after the next chapter. You'll see why.
