Power Rangers Underdog Squad

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS, PERIOD.

Chapter 24: The Arrival of Dark Life Part 1

Zoe's Narration:

There were Power Rangers before us that had various tough challenges from their evil villains. These challenges could be really tough monsters, or it could be an evil ranger. However this tough challenge will be a tough opponent to defeat.

End Narration

At the WC Lab Corp, a teenage warrior is going to the CEO office. The warrior has the wearing special armor like Crushmis. It is hard to tell who the teenager is due to the mask covering the warrior's face, and it has three choker necklaces around the warrior's neck.

As the warrior walks in the office, this warrior bows down to Crushmis. "You summoned me, father". The warrior said to Crushmis.

Crushmis looks at the dark warrior. "I did my daughter, Dark Life. I want you to attack the rangers very soon. Those pesky rangers has gotten in my way too many times already. Start with the one you think that is the weakest and the most challenging". Crushmis said to the warrior named Dark Life.

Dark Life nods as the warrior is a girl. "Very well father", Dark Life said to Crushmis as she leaves the Lab Corp.

As Dark Life walks out from the hallway, Sergiobot is still skeptical about who Dark Life is. 'Are you truly the one that idiot Zongbot grabbed long ago'? Sergiobot thought to itself. As it spots Zongbot, it walks over to it. "Zongbot", Sergiobot said to Zongbot.

Zongbot turns around as it spots Sergiobot. "Well, well, Sergiobot, I thought the boss was furious with you for bailing on that demon spirit". Zongbot said to Sergiobot.

Sergiobot rolls its eyes at Zongbot as it is not in the mood for it. "That demon was bound to lose, Zongbot. Besides I did a number to that male red ranger before those other pesky rangers came to help him". Sergiobot said to Zongbot.

Zongbot sighs to Sergiobot. "Ok, ok then, so what do you have in mind now"? Zongbot asks Sergiobot.

Sergiobot looks at Zongbot as it has a devious look on its face. "I want you to attack the rangers as well with Dark Life". Sergiobot said to Zongbot.

Zongbot's eyes are filled with intrigue by the plan. "Dark Life and I attack the rangers. Why do you want me to fight along with Dark Life against the rangers"? Zongbot asks Sergiobot.

Sergiobot glances back at his cohort. "When is the last time you had any action against the rangers? After all, with you and Dark Life fighting against them, you can give them trouble as well". Sergiobot said to Zongbot.

Zongbot is in thought about it. "You are right Sergiobot. I do want some action against the rangers". Zongbot said to Sergiobot.

Sergiobot has a devious look on its face. "Well then there you go". Sergiobot said to Zongbot.

Zongbot nods as it leaves the area. Sergiobot has an vicious look on its face. 'If I am correct, that idiot Zongbot did grab the wrong girl all along'. Sergiobot thought to itself as it plans to spy on the fight against the rangers.

At Zoe's house, Zoe is back with her dad as she is still in deep thought about what the spirit has told her about twin sister named Iris. 'Could it be that she is alive all this time, but how'? Zoe thought to herself. She tries to remember that day, but all she can remember her and Iris playing together, but from there it gets fuzzy.

Charlie sees that Zoe is completely zoned out. "Zoe what's on your mind honey"? Charlie asks Zoe.

Zoe snaps out from her deep thought as she faces her dad. "Dad, do you believe in miracles"? Zoe asks Charlie.

The question catches Charlie off guard as he looks at Zoe. "I guess I do believe in miracles, but it does happen in the most dire of times. Why do you ask"? Charlie asks Zoe.

Zoe glances at her dad as she shrugs to him. "No reason, but do you think finding out that Iris is really alive all this time would count as a miracle"? Zoe asks Charlie.

Charlie's face softens as it goes about to Zoe's twin sister, Iris. "I do believe it would count as a miracle, Zoe. Plus I want to know who or what kind of monster that taken the one person that always protected you". Charlie said to Zoe.

Zoe nods as she always remembered Iris being the one that always protected her from the bullies. "Yeah Iris always protected me from them". Zoe said to Charlie as she remembers her worse memories.

Charlie sighs as he looks at Zoe. "If Iris is still alive or not, she still lives inside of you, Zoe". Charlie said to Zoe.

Zoe nods as she knows this since the day after Iris disappeared. "I know that dad". Zoe said to Charlie.

As Charlie left the room, Zoe got to thinking to something else. 'The Underdog Triad, I wonder if there is someone to protect us'. Zoe thought to herself as she went to sleep for the night.

The next day, the teens are on the boat for training. Ken is hard at work putting together a silver morphor. Zoe went up to Ken. "Hey Ken", Zoe said to Ken.

Ken notices the purple ranger coming up to him. "Yes Zoe", Ken said to Zoe. Zoe looks up to him. "The scroll that Remius left for us, did you translate it"? Zoe asks Ken.

Just as Ken is about to answer Zoe's question, the alarm is going off as it alerts the rangers for a battle. The teens look at the monitors as there are Underbots at the park.

"Looks like it is going to be a foot solider kind of battle". Gabe said to them.

"I do not know about that Gabe. It could be a set up". Bridgette said to Gabe.

Lexi nods in agreement with Bridgette. "Bridgette might be right, Gabe". Lexi said to Gabe.

Daphne nods to them. "What ever it is we better go". Daphne said to them.

The teens nod as they are heading out to the fight.

At the park, the teens are face to face with the Underbots as they grab their morphors out. "Underdog Squad Let's Rise Up", they said in unison as the morphed into ranger form.

As the fight begins, Tyson notices how well Bridgette is fighting against the foot soldiers. 'She must have fought those things a lot longer than we have. She must have been her own conductor of her own orchestra'. Tyson thought to himself as he is blushing about her.

As he kicks at an Underbots, Junior has his back as well. "What's with you Ty"? Junior asks Tyson. Tyson is caught off guard. "It is nothing like a silent note, Junior". Tyson said to Junior.

Junior has a skeptical look on his face. "If you say so, Tyson". Junior said to him. Tyson sighs as his secret is safe for now.

As the rangers are finished fighting the last of the Underbots, they demorph as they come back together. "So much for them, we should head back to the boat". Andy said to them. "Yeah plus none of us got really hurt in the battle". Gwen said to them.

Just as they are about to teleport, laser beams land on the rangers as they are send back some. "What in the world was that"? Ryan asks them as he is getting nervous about it.

"That came out of no where". Zoe said to them. The teens got back up as they are gearing up for a tougher fight.

"Why hello rangers", Zongbot said to them.

Lexi glares at the robotic officer. "What are you doing here, Zongbot"? Lexi asks Zongbot.

Zongbot looks at Lexi as it has a devious look on its face. "You should meet your doom, presenting Dark Life". Zongbot said to them.

Dark Life walk towards them as she has her weapon in hand like she is about to fire it again. "So you must be those rangers that has destroyed my father's creations". Dark Life said to them.

"Your father's creations, why hasn't he shown up yet"? Lexi asks Dark Life. She is trying to get under Dark Life's skin.

Dark Life glares at the pink ranger. "His name is Crushmis, and I will destroy you all". Dark Life said as another battle is about to begin.
