Title: What One Would Give
Fandom: Power Rangers
Status: Would you believe I have the whole thing mentally plotted out, and plans for a sequel. Arg, and I haven't watched this show since I was in grade school. This is all Iolar's fault. Why did I start reading that crossover? Voices in my head say because it is good.
Summary: Tommy surrenders himself to Zedd to save not only his friends, but the entire earth. Random enemy (destroyer, not conqueror) was coming and the forces of light "couldn't afford" to send reinforcements for a backwater planet like earth. So Tommy went to the forces of darkness instead.
He and Zedd made an agreement that ensured the Lord's aid in defending the planet from the invaders and a promise of noninterference in exchange for Tommy's lifelong service. He gave the white tiger coin to Jason to find a new ranger before he left. Not that it mattered to Zedd, who had retrieved and modified the Green Ranger powers.
Note: no mind control. Considering Tommy is sworn to his service no matter what there is no need for it.
Preview
Tommy said nothing as he rematerialized on the moon. Really, what was there to say? A bargain was a bargain, and he had sealed his fate. His life was entirely in Zedd's hands. At least the Earth was safe, he had done that much at least.
"Follow," the Lord ordered, striding away from the young warrior. He wasn't worried about Tommy attacking him. The magic that sealed their bargain would not allow it. The pair moved deep into the castle, deeper than the teenager had ever been before, even during his time under Rita's control.
Finally, they arrived at a locked door. One Zedd quickly opened. Cautiously, Tommy followed the sorcerer into the room. The whole place gave off a seriously creepy vibe.
"Now enter the circle."
Now that was something Tommy most definitely did not want to do. Even if the runes hadn't been glowing an eerie green, the teen would have known it was a bad idea. However, he had no choice.
Tommy swallowed hard, stepping into the circle and turning to face Zedd. Slowly, the teen clenched his fists, fingernails digging into the meat of his palm. He straightened his shoulders and looked his new master in the eye. He would not show he was afraid.
The lord smiled his approval, bringing his staff in front of him to rest on the ground. It took on a similar glow. "This will hurt a great deal," Zedd warned preparing the spell that would create his warrior, his heir. "I will not think less of you if you scream."
Sequel Summary:
Five hundred years later, Zedd is working on conquering another planet. It is similar to earth in that the forces of light don't think it is very important. Fortunately, the inhabitants have their own ways of defending themselves. I modeled them off the Lotr elves with a few differences.
Anyway, at some point, they manage to destroy Lord Zedd. At which time the prince of the planet, an optimistic (but not naïve) young man (young in this case being 2,000) who is somewhat aware of the circumstances behind Lord Bloodstone's service, takes it upon himself to drag Tommy kicking and screaming back to humanity. Erm, spiritual humanity, not physical.
Sequel Preview:
Tommy felt a peculiar wrenching inside him. He knew what it meant immediately. Zedd was dead. He was free. His defensives didn't suffer in the least, but at the same time, his mind definitely wasn't on his own fight.
He was free, but so what. It wasn't like Tommy had anything to go back to. All his friends were long dead. The Earth held nothing for him now, and as for Zordon's ilk. Well, they had never approved of the Green Ranger's choice. They would kill him if they could.
Bloodstone had no intention of giving them the satisfaction. However, he had no true wish to live either. Deliberately, the warrior left a small hole in his defensives. As expected, his opponent, the captain of the King's Guard, moved to take advantage of it.
Now! Tommy thought to himself. He disengaged his blades and threw his arms wide in expectance of the kill. He saw the captain's dark blue eyes widen in shock as he tried to pull the blow. He would not make it in time the warrior knew.
There was a clash of steel on steel as another figure crashed into the captain from one side. It was the prince, and he looked absolutely furious. He turned to glare at Bloodstone. "Just what," he demanded. "Did you think you were doing?"
Note: Bloodstone is a green stone with red flecks. It is also called the martyr's stone. I thought it was a fitting name considering I revamped Tommy's outfit.
