The Legend of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Chapter Twenty –Six
A New Challenger! Aura Pink Ranger arrives


Angel Grove
The Command Center
Zordon

"Have you had any luck of locating Kimberly, Alpha?" Zordon asked in concern towards the small robot, who was pressing several buttons on the console as quickly as possible.

"There is no luck at all Zordon…I feat that we may never find Kimberly," Alpha said sadly as he lowered his head in shame.

From the moment the rangers had left, Zordon and Alpha immediately began their search for Kimberly and nothing has been found yet.

It seemed that their command center didn't have enough power. The last time this occurred, one of the rangers used their power coin to located Zack, who was in another dimension but with all of the rangers in battle and the Rahonavis Power coin wasn't strong enough just yet to increase the abilities of their search.

But they couldn't give up just yet.

They just needed a little more power.

Without warning, pink light seemed to shine beneath the floor of the large room they were in, which caused Alpha to freak out, going "Aye-Ai-Ai! Zordon, what is this light and where is it coming from?"

At first, Zordon believed this to be a figment of his imagination but when the screens on the console flashed the image of the Aura Rangers, Zordon knew it wasn't his imagination.

An Aura Ranger was online.

But how could this be?

Suddenly, Pink lightning shot up through the ground and crawled up through every inch of the chamber and until it met in the middle and that was when the shade of the Aura Pink Ranger appeared through the bright light of pink that shined from beneath them.

Zordon couldn't believe his eyes.

The shade of the Aura Pink Ranger was standing before him but now her helmet was off, revealing a faded light blue skin and platinum blue eyes and despite her image wavering in and out of existence, Zordon could see a smile on her face.

"Smi-ile father…" The shade whispered. "She…will…h-help…"

"I-Ilia…" Zordon whispered softly as he gazed at the image of his long gone protégé and daughter, longing to want to gather her up in his arms.

The shade smiled once again and before she looked up and faded away and just as she did, everything went dark.

But the sound of singing was heard in the chamber.

"I don't know…

What words I can say.

The wind has a way…To talk to me…

Flowers sing…A silent lullaby.

I wait for reply…I'm ready…"

Just then, a single console lit up with a single locations coordinates, which was then followed up with the entire command center reactivating.


The Moon
Rita's Palace

Goldar and Rita Repulsa

"Amazing…" Rita said with a laugh of joy leaving her face as she watched the total chaos going down right now with her beloved warrior Goldar by her side.

On the large screen before her was the Red Ranger battling the Black Ranger, who was under the control of Death Rose, meanwhile, Death Rose herself was fighting Blue and finally, Swan Song was battling Yellow.

And the rangers were losing.

"It is," Goldar whispered to her gently and said "I was originally going to have Knasty Knight kill the Black Ranger but Swan Song managed to convince me to do this plan instead. I must say, I am glad that I went with Swan Song's plan."

"As am I Goldar," Rita replied. "Because now, we have exactly what we need. All that's left is to find this Tommy Oliver and retrieve our own Ranger."

Goldar nodded as he crossed his arms and said "But who shall go to find him?"

Just as Rita opened her mouth to answer, A dark energy suddenly exploded from behind her and Goldar and she knew Goldar felt it as well due to his red eyes widening at the intense power.

The two turned around to see Knasty Knight standing behind them but his look was entirely different.

His pitch black armor now had glowing crimson cracks embedded from the top of his head to the toes of his boots and all the cracks from every part of his body met in the middle of his torso, where there was a crimson glowing head of a roaring lion that had formed on his chest armor.

The shoulders of his armor were the heads of crimson lions and his gauntlets, metal gloves and boots were crimson as well and last but not least, Knasty Knight's eyes were a fiery crimson as well.

"Knasty Kni-" Goldar started but he was immediately sent through the screen before him by a beam of crimson energy that shot out through the head of the lion on his chest.

"What is going on here?!" Rita exclaimed but Knasty Knight quickly shot out a beam of energy at her as well but Goldar quickly appeared in front of her with his blade drawn and shielded Rita from the beam with his sword.

Knasty Knight stopped the attack and held his right hand out, which instantly morphed into the head of lion where a orb of crimson energy burst into existence with a scream of "Die!" he shot the orb towards the two.

Goldar's red eyes widened in horror before he turned around, grabbed Rita and started to transport but just as the process started, his back was hit by the crimson orb, which exploded upon impact.

When the smoke cleared, Goldar was seen lying across Rita's body, both of them unconscious. Knasty Knight laughed darkly and said "I am no longer Knasty Knight. I am Violent Knight!"

The newly named Violent Knight then turned to the unconscious Pink Ranger and walked towards her and held out his right hand and morphed it into the head of a crimson lion. "And it is time I start killing every ranger I see…"

Zordon

"Aye-ai-ai! Zordon, I have located Kimberly!" Alpha exclaimed excitedly, his arms moving up and down rapidly.

The moment that the lightning had faded and everything had turned back on, they managed to find her immediately.

Zordon seemed distracted but still very relieved and happy by this news and said "Good work Alpha…Now we must get her back here this instant so she can assist the other rangers. Transport her immediately."

Alpha nodded and pressed a few keys on the console before him and said "Transporting now!"


The Moon
Rita's Palace
Violent Knight

"…Starting with you, Pink Ranger," The knight finished with narrowed glowing eyes as he growled.

The knight's crimson orb pulsated with amazing power as it focused down on Kimberly unconscious form but just as he was about to shoot, her body changed into pink energy and the energy flew out of the palace.

Baboo and Squatt came rushing out of the palace with a group of putties following them and just as they saw the knight.

Baboo saw the knight standing there with the crimson orb then saw Goldar and Rita unconscious and quickly put two and two together but as he opened his mouth to say "Attack!" Violent Knight growled and shot the orb regardless at the group, vaporizing Baboo, Squatt and the large amount of putties as well as destroying a good chunk of the palace.

Violent Knight laughed crazily as he said "Now is my time! I will kill anyone that stands in my way!" With those words, Violent Knight launched himself out of the large hole in the palace and transported away.


Angel Grove
Angel Grove National Park
Yellow Ranger

Metal clashed with metal as Yellow's Power Daggers collided with Swan Song's black feathered axe.

So far in their duel, the two had been evenly matched but then Swan Song had started with the taunts.

First, it was about how humans were nothing but children.

Then it became how Rita would rule the Earth and enslave everyone.

Yellow was able to ignore those and continue to battle him…But it was then that he began to talk about her family that got Yellow to really become angry.

"Come on Yellow Ranger," Swan Song said as their weapons clashed once more. "Surely you can put up a better fight than that. Then again, you could barely handle me the first time we fought."

Yellow growled and broke the clash and thrust her right arm forward to stab Swan Song in the right side of his stomach before her left arm reached over and slashed at his face.

Swan Song hissed in pain and delivered a brutal straight kick to Yellow's chest, which sent her skidding backwards on her feet before he raised his left hand and set a dozen white feathers towards her rapidly.

Yellow rolled to the side to avoid the stream of feathers but what she didn't expect was for Swan Song to dash to the same side she had rolled to and shoot out another stream of feathers, which managed to hit her, causing sparks to fly from her body as the razor sharp feathers sliced across her.

Yellow fell to her knees in pain as Swan Song lifted his right hand and laughed boisterously before he said "You have definitely grown weaker since our bout two weeks ago. And to think, I went through all that trouble to study you and him."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Yellow said as she got on her feet, dismissing her Power Daggers for now in order to hold the right side of her body.

Swan Song stopped his laughter and said "You don't know? Well, don't I feel insulted." Swan Song then let out another laugh and pointed his axe towards her before he said "Well maybe this should remind you!"

Swan Song quickly dashed towards Yellow, who quickly took one step back before she leaned back to avoid the wide swing of the axe before she forced herself to fall backwards to avoid his downward slice.

Yellow rolled backwards to avoid the swing of the axe and when she rose to her feet, she leapt up and kneed Swan Song in the face with her left knee and when she landed on the ground, she grabbed him by the neck and punched his chest three times before she twisted her body and slammed her elbow into his gut.

Swan Song took a step back and blocked Yellow's next three punch and her right hook with the flat side of his axe before he used his left leg and kicked her right leg from under her before he attempted to knee her in the face.

Yellow bent backwards to avoid the knee and quickly grabbed his standing leg with her two legs and tugged hard, which forced Swan Song on to the ground and the minute he landed, she rolled on top of him and started to rain down several hard punches to Swan Song's face.

After the fifth punch, Yellow raised her hand and summoned her Power Dagger and lunged the hand down but just then, Swan Song's body suddenly exploded into black feathers, leaving her to stab the ground.

As the feathers blew all around her, Yellow's eyes widened at in surprise at the appearance of the feathers.

But they were strangely familiar…But where did she see this before?

Just then, Yellow felt something hard collide with the back of her head, sending her slamming face first into the ground but she quickly rolled away before Swan Song's axe could find a home in her back.

Once she got to her feet, Yellow let out a shout as she did a short hop while simultaneously turning around and slammed into the face of Swan Song as his axe slashed up down her chest, causing sparks to fly from her chest and blue blood to fly from his mouth.

Yellow dashed backwards and pulled out her blade blaster and fired several shots towards Swan Song but he quickly dispersed into an explosion of black feathers to avoid Yellow's shots.

'Wait…I remember now…' Yellow thought to herself as her mind took her back…


Flashback
Angel Grove
Angel Grove Harbor
Yellow Ranger

"C-Come on Trini…C-Chill out, it w-was all a joke! I wasn't going t-to betray you," Yellow heard Black stammer, his voice shaky and fearful as she gripped the hilt of her weapon.

"A Joke…That's all life is to you…A Joke…" Yellow whispered, her brown eyes glowing in pure malice and strife. "…I've became sick of your jokes…I've become sick of you…"

Yellow raised up her weapon, causing the blade to shine in the moonlight but as she peered down at him, she whispered "I should thank you for betraying us Zack…You gave me the perfect chance to show you all that you have done to me and my family and now? I get to show you what you've earned…For taking everything away from me!"

And with that shout, Yellow went to slice at him with all her might, fully intent in taking his rival's life but the moment that blade was inches away from striking him, Black quickly snapped his fingers, caused it to disperse with black feathers, which hit his body.

Yellow's eyes widened in pure shock as the feathers floated around her Black's body and through her hands.

"Sorry…But joining Rita had given me some perks…" Black responded cockily before he took advantage of her stunned form and said "Like this one!" before slamming his hand on the ground, causing black smoke and black feathers to envelope them both and when the smoke cleared, Yellow found herself standing all alone in the opening.

Yellow didn't know what had happened.

She had him in her grasp and now he was gone.

Seeing the spot where he laid now empty had caused something within Trini to snap and with red filling her vision, a scream filled with anguish, fury and hatred pierced through the darkened sky above.

Yellow Ranger

"The feathers…" Yellow whispered darkly as the black feathers fell to the ground harmlessly. Just then, Yellow heard the laughter of Swan Song, who was now standing a few feet behind her, which caused her to turn around swiftly.

But instead of Swan Song, she saw Black standing there.

Yellow's eyes flashed to where Red and Black were and saw Black holding the Power Cannon to Red's kneeling form before her eyes flashed back to the Black that was before her.

"I told you before," Swan Song said cockily with Black's voice. "You wanted a fight…I'm giving you a fight."

Yellow's blood ran cold at these words.

"You…" Yellow whispered darkly, malice thick in her voice as Swan Song, Still in Black's form, Swan Song laughed loudly.

"Yes me," Swan Song said with a bow. "It was so easy to play you and your pathetic friend against one another. All I had to do was change myself to him and lock him away and it was all over from there."

Yellow's fist shook in rage as she stood there in silence as Swan Song laughed once again. "You were so pathetic that day! You were my puppet and you played your part well. Because of you and your dislike of the Black Ranger, you Trini Kwan nearly killed your own teammate!"

Swan Song took a step forward and asked "Tell me something Trini…How close were you to killing him? How close were you from killing an innocent warrior for your enemy? Do you feel pathetic in knowing how easily you played into my plan?"

Swan Song leaned back with his right hand on his hip, returning back to his original form with a flash of black feathers as he stared at Yellow and said "Such a silly human," before he began to laugh again but that laughter swiftly stopped.

Yellow's head snapped up when she heard gurgling and that's when her eyes widened beneath her visor.


Angel Grove
Angel Grove National Park
Blue Ranger

With a panicked scream, Blue was sent crashing to the ground on his back with Death Rose's Rose whip around his neck and right arm as the sound of her laughter reached his ears.

"How pathetic baby Blue," Death Rose shouted as Blue suddenly felt himself be yanked off the ground and into the air where he was then forcefully sent hurdling toward Death Rose, who instantly grabbed him and attempted to power bomb him to the ground.

But Blue quickly wrapped his legs around her neck so when she tried to bomb him to the ground, he was able to adjust his weight so he was able to pick her off her feet and slam her into her back with his legs.

Once the two landed on the ground, Blue grabbed his blade blaster and switched it to blade form and cut the whip from around him and flipped to his feet while he changed the blade to its blaster form and shot several shots at Death Rose just as she rose to a knee.

Three bolts of energy slammed into her chest but she was able to deflect the rest with another rose whip before launching the whip towards Blue. Blue quickly rolled to the right to avoid the whip and then leapt into the air and shot his blaster once again.

Death Rose got pelted with the bolts of energy but managed to deflect the last one before launching the whip towards Blue and wrapped around his torso before she swung him to the ground hard enough for him to cause a small crater around his body.

Death Rose laughed at this and dragged Blue to her and rammed her foot against his chest hard with a royal sounding laugh. "Look at my dear baby Blue. Trapped underneath my foot as you should be!"

Blue growled in both anger and pain but Death Rose paid no mind to it and instead said "Now it's time for you to die, my dear Ranger…" But then the two heard Swan Song's loud laughter before it was quickly cut off.

Blue could see the horrified look on Death Rose's face and slowly, he looked up to see this glowing black and crimson knight standing a ways away from Yellow while Swan Song fell on his knees.

But all Blue was concerned about was Yellow.

He felt the foot on his chest ease up as Death Rose let out a furious yell before she dashed away from him and towards the knight as she shouted "Black Ranger: Élencho (control)!"


Angel Grove
Angel Grove National Park
Red Ranger

"Z-Zack…" Red whispered shakily as his eyes flashed towards the controlled ranger standing tall before him.

Red could see the gleam of Black's red visor but at that moment, it was like Red could see his friend's face within that visor.

And all that Red saw was the blank face of his best friend but something was different.

Instead of the playful chocolate brown eyes and the playful grin on his face, Red could see that his best friend's eyes glowing a bright red as he stared down at him blankly.

And it was then that Red realized something.

Zack wasn't in there right now.

It was their enemy.

Their enemy had trapped Zack within his mind and let this…monster take his place.

The only way for Red to save his friend was not by holding back as he was before. The only way he could save him was to beat him enough so Black could take back control.

But it was all too late…

He was going to die by his friend's hands and there was nothing he could do about it.

But that's when he heard Death Rose's voice shout "Black Ranger: Élencho (control)!" from the distance. Red watched as Black turned around and ran off as well.

Red watched Black run off and felt his anger grow towards the monster that had his friend under her control.

To be used like some puppet.

He had to free him.

With a growl, Red got up on his feet and ran off after him as fast as possible.


Angel Grove
Angel Grove National Park
Violent Knight

Swan Song had fallen to his knees as blue blood flowed from his shoulders but his head was no longer on his shoulders.

Instead, Swan Song's head rolled away from his body, his yellow eyes widened in shock before she looked at the hunched over form of Violent Knight, whose crimson colored blade was touching the grass with blue blood splattered on it, with the unconscious Kimberly over his right shoulder.

The knight leaned up and looked down at twitching form of Swan Song with distain and said "That was always your weakness Swan Song! You always talked about your victory before actually obtaining it! And now you are dead!"

The knight laughed before he calmed down and spat on the corpse as he muttered "Good riddance…" The corpse then changed back into the white and grey feathers that floated away on the wind.

Violent Knight's eyes flashed to the Yellow Ranger across from him and said "Now that I have taken care of him…I shall kill you as well…"

He saw the Yellow ranger take a step back before she said "You can try but I won't let you succeed!" Violent Knight growled in approval and dismissed his sword and quickly launched himself toward Yellow and elbowed her in the face, sending sailing backwards.

Violent Knight ran towards the soaring ranger and grabbed her head as she was mid-flight and slammed her entire body through the large boulder, causing it to shatter and then explode.

Violent Knight saw a brief yellow light before Trini was unconscious on the ground, her body leaning against a large shard of a bolder. With a dark laugh, Violent Knight took three steps backwards and held both hands out.

Both hands changed into the heads of lions as crimson orbs began to form in the mouths of the lions but as he was going to fire the orbs, he felt a powerful blast hit his back.

Violent Knight turned around to see Death Rose and the controlled Black, holding the still smoking Power Cannon in his hands.

Violent Knight laughed and said "You bought him right to me…Good," before he charged towards the two.

"You monster! I will make you pay for killing my beloved!" Death Rose hissed darkly as she slapped her whip to the ground and shouted "Élencho!"

Black changed his weapon to the Power Axe and charged towards Violent Knight but just as the two were going to meet, Violent Knight struck Black hard with his blade before he leapt into the air towards Death Rose.

Death Rose shot two rose whips towards him and as he sliced through one, the other pierced his side but it didn't stop him and with eyes filled with glee, his crimson blade sliced at a downwards angle from Death Rose's left shoulder down to her midsection.

Death Rose screamed in agony but then she hissed with anger in her eyes and with gritted teeth, she summoned a small rose seed in her hand and rammed it into the wound that was caused by her whip and said with a cruel smirk "You may kill me but you will be following me to the underworld very soon!"

Violent Knight looked her in her anger filled eyes and said "Then save a nice spot for me!" before he held his left hand up against her chest and when his hands morphed into the head of a lion, crimson energy swirled in the open mouth and the beam came flying out and vaporized the top half of Death Rose's body.

Violent Knight lowered his hand and turned around to see Black stagger forward with crimson lightning caused dozens of sparks to fly from his body before he demorphed back to Zack, who instantly dropped to the ground, unconscious.

Violent Knight quickly aimed his lion hand to Zack's unconscious form but was immediately tackled off of his feet and slammed into the ground by Blue.

Blue leaned up and hit two hard punches to the knight's face but Violent Knight caught the right fist of Blue and aimed his lion hand right in front of Blue's face but just as he was going to fire, Red tackled Blue off of the knight at the very last second, causing a beam of crimson energy to shoot up into the air.

Red and Blue fell to the ground but quickly rolled to their feet where Violent Knight stood up slowly and laughed loudly. "You rangers are truly agitating," Violent Knight muttered darkly before he turned to face the two and said "Now prepare to die…"

Just then, a large pink orb slammed into the chest of Violent Knight, sending him flying backwards into the air but he managed to recover and land on his feet just fine.

Power Rangers VS Violent Knight

"What the hell?" Red muttered in shock as he and Blue stared at the large pink orb in front of them.

The orb floated above the ground briefly before it landed and once it did, the orb exploded to reveal a Pink Ranger that they had never seen before in their life.

But the moment she spoke, the two knew who that voice belonged to.

"Sorry I'm late…Took me a while to get used to this," Aura Pink stated as she looked back at the two.

"Katherine?!" Blue exclaimed in shock while Red's eyes bugged out from behind his visor. Aura Pink laughed and placed her finger on her helmet, exactly where her mouth would be located.

"Now, now…No yelling me name," Aura Pink stated before she turned her head to see Violent Knight standing up from the ground and said "Aura Pink Ranger is now reporting for duty and I will be taking over from here."

Red shook his head and placed a hand on Aura Pink's right shoulder and said "I don't think that is a good idea at all. I don't know how you became a ranger but you need to step back and leave this to us."

"Well as dad always said, High Risk equals high reward!" Aura Pink shouted before running up on the monster only to duck to the right to avoid the left jab of the monster and took a step and slammed her shoulder against its side with as much force as possible, causing the monster's body to briefly flash as he stumbled to the side quickly to gain some distance.

Seeing this, Aura Pink quickly ran up and delivered three quick punches which two landed on the chest and neck of the monster, causing another flash of blue on his body, but the third punch was blocked by Violent Knight, who swiftly retaliated by aiming a kick at Aura Pink's chest.

Aura Pink caught his leg and punched the monster in the face as hard as possible three times before leaping over the leg and kicking it in the mask with both feet.

The two opponents landed on the ground but the two flipped up to their feet but Violent Knight quickly aimed his left lion hand at Aura Pink's chest but Aura Pink struck the knight's right leg with her right fist before trying to kick Violent Knight in the chest.

The monster struck Aura Pink's leg to the side with his left fist and quickly landed three rapid punches to Aura Pink's stomach before leaping up and landing and elbow at her head then finishing the combo by landing a hard left fist to her head, sending her to the ground.

Aura Pink fell to the ground on her back but quickly flipped to her feet only to block a roundhouse kick aimed at the left side of her head with her left forearm then used her left hand to smack a kick that was aimed at her right side away before launching the same hand to strike the monster's face.

But Violent Knight managed to catch her hand and kicked her in the mid-section twice, causing sparks to fly from her suit before it let go of her hand and punched her head, sending Aura Pink flying to the side.

Aura Pink quickly flipped to her feet and dusted herself off and let a small grunt before turning to face Violent Knight only to block three kick kicks that were aimed at her stomach, chest and head respectfully before she side stepped to the right and landed a strong right hook to the monster's head.

Aura Pink then jumped up and landed a side kick to the monster in the chest, causing another flash to appear as the monster flew backwards.

Violent Knight flipped back to his feet in record time and launched itself towards the ranger and began to deliver a rain of punches and kicks at the ranger and at first, Aura Pink was able to block them and return the attacks but soon she found herself being overwhelmed by the rapid jabs and soon, sparks were flying from her body from the blows before she was finally kicked in the head, sending her soaring backwards to the other rangers.

Violent Knight ran towards the downed ranger but Blue swiftly leapt in front of the monster and engaged it in combat while Red ran over to Aura Pink and helped her to her feet, asking "Are you ok?"

Aura Pink nodded and let a small grin form on her face as she said "Oh I'm just fine. I was able to confirm why he is so powerful…And now I know how I can beat him."

"You mean you intentionally got into this battle just to confirm something about him?" Red asked with a tilt of his head, confusion in his voice.

Aura Pink nodded at this and moved away from the ranger and said "Sometimes you have to take risks in order to get reward. I learned that from my father a long time ago. I knew I could get creamed by this guy but I had to know if my hypothesis was correct."

"And what did you learn?" Red asked curiously.

"Simple, did you notice how when we started battling, we were equal?" Aura Pink said while taking a step forward and keeping her eyes on Blue and the Violent Knight trading quick blows.

"Yeah but then things started to shift into his favor…" Red replied while narrowing his eyes in thought but then his mind quickly latched onto where Aura Pink's mind was at the conclusion.

"You mean to tell me that he is able to absorb out attacks and apply them to his own?!"

"Exactly…" Aura Pink answered with a nod, watching as The Violent Knight began to get the upper hand on the Ranger. "And now that I know that…I know how to defeat him!" Aura Pink shouted before she ran off.

Blue and the monster were in trading blows back and forth but Blue was slowly losing his edge. The monster just seemed to get stronger and faster after each blow that was landed and he was finding himself getting hit instead of blocking them and it was making him madder.

"Stand still you darn pest," Blue exclaimed as he aimed his hard chop towards the head of the monster but the being grabbed Blue's wrist and laughed before punching Blue twice in the chest, causing the Ranger to grunt in pain as sparks flew from the spot of impact.

"And now to end this," Violent Knight said as he held his hand in front of Blue's head.

Blue's knee slammed into the side of Violent Knight's relentlessly to try and force the monster to let his wrist go before aiming a fist to the being's face but Violent Knight caught the fist and landed a hard knee to Blue's gut, causing his body to bend around the knee of the monster before Blue fell to one knee, gasping for air.

"It's over Ranger!" Violent Knight shouted while letting go of Blue's arms before the glowing fist lunged out to Blue's head.

But suddenly, Aura Pink quickly pushed the fist of the monster away into the air before grabbing the monster's wrist, causing Blue to look up at Aura Pink in shock while holding his stomach.

"Sorry, but this is my fight and I'd like to continue it," Aura Pink said before she swept the monster off its feet and tossed it over her shoulder, causing it to land hard on its side.

Violent Knight leapt up from the ground and tried to kick the chest of the ranger but Aura Pink tilted her body back to avoid it then grabbed the ankle of the monster and pulled it close and tripped the other leg, causing it to once again to fall on its back.

Aura Pink quickly let go off the leg and took several steps backwards and watched as the monster leaned up from the ground and stared at her for a moment before getting to its feet and laughed and told her "Impressive…"

"I tend to be," The monster laughed in reply and charged towards the ranger and threw a crisp right jab but Aura Pink deflected it with her right hand, pushing it aside before taking a step and slamming the side of her shoulder into her opponent's chest, sending him stumbling back.

Violent Knight dashed forward and aimed another quick jab towards her chest but once again, Aura Pink used her left hand to deflect it before taking a step forward and slamming her left elbow against the knight's head.

As the knight stumbled back, Aura Pink twisted her body sharply to build up momentum for her back handed fist to slam into the head of Violent Knight.

Violent Knight fell to his knees from the blow but leaned down to the ground and tried to trip Aura Pink but she lifted up her right leg high into the air to avoid it being tripped before slicing her leg down to the ground to hit his head but the monster quickly moved away, causing Aura Pink's foot to slam against the ground.

Violent Knight leapt up from the ground and quickly aimed a kick to her midsection but Aura Pink moved with the kick to by stepping backwards before her hands grabbed the leg and pulled it toward her, causing the Violent Knight to slide closer to her where she quickly slammed her fist into the mask, not only making the monster's head fly backwards but it also caused the mask to crack.

Aura Pink quickly pivoted her body to the right so her back was right against his while letting go of his leg and placed her hand on his chest and shoved his chest hard, sending the monster slamming into the ground hard enough to cause him to skid on the ground.

Violent Knight stood up and took a step back and let out a shout of anger and ran towards the ranger and began to aim punches at the ranger but Aura Pink would deflect each strike with by smacking his fists away with her opened palm but when he aimed a fist to her stomach, she slapped it down with the back of her left hand and quickly backhanded him with the same hand, making him stumble backwards.

"Man…She was getting so beaten before but now, that damn monster can barely touch her," Blue noted with pride in his voice.

"Yeah…It's amazing to be honest," Red added with a small nod in agreement but he then said "We need to help her out quick before she gets overrun!"

Aura Pink swayed side to side almost effortlessly to avoid the quick and aggravated attacks of her opponent and when she ducked the wild haymaker from Violent Knight, she tucked her body forward and raised her leg backwards and nailed Violent Knight in the head, making the monster stumble backwards where she then leapt up as if she was going to kick it but instead slammed her feet on its left foot.

Violent Knight growled in pain and tried to punch the ranger but Aura Pink used her hands to catch the fists before forcing them to the side harmlessly and began to slam her palm against the chest of the monster repeatedly before she grabbed the head of the monster and tossed Violent Knight over her shoulder by the head, sending the being to the ground on its back.

Aura Pink hopped backwards to gain some distance and stepped into a more relaxed stance but not before flipping off her opponent.

"Come on, surely that can't be all you've got," Aura Pink yelled out rather cockily while Violent Knight rose to his feet and held his chest in anger.

How as this possible?

Before he was able to match her blow for blow and even used her power to overwhelm her but now he couldn't touch her.

She was like a floating feather and he couldn't catch her.

"You are truly starting to anger me ranger," Violent Knight said as he summoned his sword which was pulsating with blue energy.

"I suppose it's a part ranger rulebook to piss of monsters," Aura Pink countered smoothly while crossing her arms with a tilt of the head, a smile on her face.

Violent Knight let a rather angry growl leave its lips as it gripped its blade tightly but before anything could be done, Red and Blue leapt over Aura Pink and kicked him hard in the chest, sending Violent Knight stumbling back.

"It's time to finish this…" Aura Pink said as images of a large blade appeared in her mind as a voice shouted in her head "Aura Saber!" and "Aura Saber: Pink Flash Strike!" within her mind.

"Well…Time to follow the voice in my head!" Aura Pink held out her hand and said "Aura Saber!"

With a pink flash, a large saber appeared in Aura Pink's hands and when Red and Blue landed on the ground, Aura Pink quickly ran up and jumped onto Blue and Red's shoulders before she jumped off of them and stayed in the air and shouted "Aura Saber: Pink Flash Strike!"

As Aura Pink raised her sword in the air, pink and white energy swirled around her blade as she got closer to the knight below her.

Violent Knight summoned his crimson sword and suddenly, black and red aura shot around the blade and said "Time to finish this duel!" With a swing of both of their weapons, the two glowing swords clashed.

The two energies swirled and light blue lightning shot out of the two clashing weapons and swept against random spots on the ground around them. "It seems a ghost from the past just can't stay dead," Violent Knight hissed out.

"As they always say, you can't keep a good ranger down!" Aura Pink shouted as well but she knew that she couldn't hold this clash up for long. As good as she was, she could feel the power slowly ebbing away from her the longer she kept this up.

But all of a sudden, Violent Knight roared out in pain and that was when Aura Pink looked down to see that Red and Blue had their respective weapons, the Power Sword and Power Lance, stabbing straight through the monster's body.

And that was when he felt it.

His energy was weakening drastically.

At first he didn't understand why this was happening until his eyes widened.

"You may kill me but you will be following me to the underworld very soon!" Death Rose's voice echoed within his mind.

Knasty Knight could see his blade starting to crack under the pressure of Aura Pink's blade and he could feel the two weapons in his body getting deeper within.

And then his sword completely shattered before his very eyes.

"I will not die here!" Violent Knight shouted with fury in his voice. The knight gritted his teeth in anger as he forced as much power as he could from out of his body to force the three rangers away from him.

The three rangers flew away from the large burst of crimson energy that enveloped Violent Knight's form and immediately after the final burst, Violent Knight growled and said "This is not over!"

With those words, Violent Knight transported away, leaving the heavily battle scarred national park and three very exhausted rangers behind.

Blue and Red immediately fell to their knees while Aura Pink fell on her back between the two, the three of them breathing heavily. "Well…I'm going to be feeling this tomorrow…" Aura Pink panted out heavily.

Blue laughed softly and said "It's like that the first time around…"

Aura Pink smiled to herself and said "Well…That's good to know…" before she shut her eyes and said as she drifted off "I think…I'm going to get some shut eye…I'm exhausted…"

And with a pink flash, Katherine was seen sleeping in between the two rangers…And the Aura Morpher that was around her wrist was now the color of ash and as the wind blew, the morpher disintegrated and floated away.

And for a moment, Red and Blue heard the faint words of "Thank you Katherine…" floating through the gentle breeze.

All while Katherine wore a smile on her sleeping face.


*Outro*

"You turn and see them in the sand…"

(Shows a starry night outside of the Command Center with Trini sitting on one of the large rocks in front of it, her yellow ranger suit on and her helmet sitting next to her right leg, her left leg resting on top of her right one)

"Your steps behind you and your hands are warm…They're tired and they're worn"

(Shows Kimberly slowly appear next to Trini, wearing her pink Ranger uniform, her helmet sitting on the right side of her body, her legs bent and resting against her chest with her arms wrapped around them, staring at the sky.)

"Footprints as far as you can see…This is who you are; you'll always be The One…"

(Shows Billy slowly appearing beside Kimberly on a rock formation that was lower than hers, wearing his blue ranger uniform, his helmet sitting right in front of his legs, his arms crossed in front of him as he gazed at the sky.)

"…The one to fare the storm."

(Shows Zack slowly appearing standing beside Trini on a rock lower than hers, wearing his black ranger uniform, his helmet being cradled under his left arm as his foot resting on the rock below him with his right arm slung across it, leaning forward as he looked at the sky.)

"If it was up to you and you…You know that you would lose…"

(Shows Jason slowly appearing on a rock formation that was lower than Zack's and Billy's, wearing his red ranger uniform, his helmet sitting underneath his right leg which was bent back, resting on the wall behind him as his body was leaning on it as well, glancing at the stars above him.)

"If it was up to you, I know…You'd always choose…"

(Hearing their communicators beeping, the five look at their left wrists and with some hesitation, the five placed their helmets on their heads and when they were strapped, the five glanced at the sky one last time before they transported away in beams of light which was colored in their respective colors)

"…To…Continue…"

*Outro End*


Rain: So in the end, the rangers managed to push back Violent Knight, who will not be making an appearance for a very long while but Swan Song and Death Rose are defeated and all of the rangers are accounted for. What will happen next? Only one way to find out.

Mario: See you next time!
