Chapter 26: Machine Empire Miniseries: Part 2
"Ready for liftoff!" yelled Alpha.
The chopper's rotors slowly picked up speed, lifting it up outside.
"Next stop, New York!" said Alpha.
The chopper flew on course to New York. Sometime into the flight, Zeo asked about the plan.
"Billy, did you figure out what we're going to do after we find Zordon?" asked Zeo.
"Well, we're going to use this." said Billy.
He held up a wire with two square devices attached to the end of both.
"What's that?" asked Tiger.
"This is what we are going to use to go home. Well, the home you two were at before. One end will go on Zordon and the other will go on your morpher."
He pointed at Zeo.
"We all just need to grab onto Zordon's tube and boom, we're golden." said Billy.
"Wow, that'll work?" asked Tiger.
"It should, if my calculations are correct." said Billy.
Tiger looked outside to see nice looking mountains with snow on top of them.
"Man, this looks amazing!" said Tiger.
"Yeah, it does." said Billy. "What if we landed here and took a break from all the flying?"
"I like that idea, Billy." said Zeo.
The chopper flew down near one of the mountains and landed. Then the three got out of the helicopter and made a campfire for the night.
"So what are you going to do when you get to our universe, Billy?" asked Zeo.
"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I will have a normal life and just get a good job somewhere."
"Well, if you ever need anything, just call the Tommy Rangers." said Tiger.
"Yeah, once a Ranger, always a Ranger." said Zeo.
"That's right." said Tiger.
The three looked around the area. It was gorgeous and clean with no Cog in sight.
"We're so gonna kick some Cog ass, aren't we." said Zeo.
"Damn right." proclaimed Tiger.
...
A few days passed and the chopper was getting close to New York.
"Everybody get ready!" yelled Alpha from the cockpit.
"Alright then, looks like it's Morphin Time!
TIGERZORD!
ZEO RANGER V! RED!
ZEO RANGER V! RED!
"Rangers! Let's do this!" yelled Billy.
The chopper went officially into New York, setting off multiple alarms in different areas. Choppers from all over the area flew up to attempt to take down the Rangers.
"Evasive maneuvers, everyone!" said Alpha.
Alpha pushed a green button on the left side of him, causing the helicopter to change into a more jet-like vehicle. It sped off while choppers shot at it. Zeo and Billy attempted to shoot back at them, with Zeo hitting one of the Cog pilots, causing it to slam into another and crash.
"YEAH!" yelled Zeo. "That's what I'm talking about!"
"Nice!" said Billy.
He looked toward the cockpit.
"Alright, the Empire state building is just ahead." he said.
Tiger looked and saw an extremely robotic looking building with helipads and many other contraptions attached to it.
"Wow." said Tiger.
"FASTER!" said Billy.
"I'll try, Billy!" said Alpha.
Alpha pushed a lever away, causing the helicopter to go twice as fast. But as a result, parts of the chopper flew off the make shift vehicle. Machine Empire helicopters caught up and shot another part off.
"Oh, crap!" said Billy
"What?" said Zeo.
"Parts are falling off! I don't we can make it to the Empire state building, let alone land on it.'
"Billy, you gotta figure something out then!" yelled Zeo. "We can't die here."
"No, we can't." said Billy. "Alpha, fly up so that we can be over the building!"
"On it!" said Alpha.
Alpha pulled back on the Joystick, causing the helicopter to go up about a 60% angle.
"We can make it!"
More parts fell off.
"GO! GO! GO!" yelled Tiger.
It barely made it to the top of the building.
"Circle it until we can land!" said Billy.
"Billy!" yelled Alpha. "I can't land! You three need to jump!"
"Not without you, Alpha!" yelled Billy. "I can't just leave you!"
"You have to! You are the only ones who can save Zordon!"
"Alpha..." said Billy.
"GO."
Alpha stopped the vehicle in the air.
Tiger looked back at Alpha, who was extremely saddened. He jumped.
Zeo looked at the ground. There surprisingly wasn't very many Cogs down there. He jumped.
Billy shed a tear. He jumped.
They all hit the rooftop and all looked up almost simultaneously.
Alpha was absolutely bombarded by the choppers. They blew his vehicle up into a million pieces. There was nothing left of him.
