A/N: I do not own Power Rangers. Such a shame, I wouldnt mind owning Hunter. :D
General Deception
Part 2
Three Megazords hit the ground causing a chain reaction as thunderous rumbles lifted into the air; the ground shook violently causing the surrounding mountains and forests to quake from their cores. The mountain on which Sabrina was perched moved beneath the Firebird and small rocks fell from the formation and rolled down the ground below; Sabrina gasped thankful that they were way out in the forests and not inside the city, it would have been catastrophic if boulders and earthshakes rocked the city of Blue Bay.
"I thought we were going to get the credit," Shimazu complained from the ground beside Vexacus "All I see are the ranger Zords on the ground; that Firebird drained of energy, and Zurgane ready to take a bow"
"You worry too much," Vexacus said turning to the clown "If Zurgane takes a bow, it will be his final one!"
"I hope so," Shimazu responded "for our sakes!"
The foundation of the mountains shook once more as Zurgane moved further forward so that he was now right on top of the fallen Zords; he raised his sword like arm and brought it down towards the Wind Rangers;
"No!" Sabrina yelled from her Zord as she watched the soon-to-be destruction "I have to help them! Damnit why cant I make a Megazord!" she slammed her hands down on her control panel, she watched as Zurgane rose his arm further back ready to strike, before a small frown appeared on her face as something her mother used to tell her all the time growing up floated to mind.

"I cant do it!" 9-year-old Sabrina Horizon complained as she hugged her legs closed to her chest and buried her head in her knees "They all make fun of me"
Hayley Horizon frowned and lowered herself down beside her daughter "What are you talking about?" she questioned "your a amazing soccer player"
"But they pick on me because im small," she protested "They say I dont belong on the field"
A chuckle escaped Hayley's lips as she pulled the little girl onto her lap, Sabrina had always been short for her age; but what she lacked in height she made up for in talent, speed and heart. "Remember sweetheart, you can do anything that you put you're mind too"
Memory
"That's it!" the red head said, her head snapping up "Phoenix Megazord!"
There was a soft humming sound and the Phoenix Zord lifted into the air; it flew over the Zords and Zurgane before the exterior of the Zord started to change. Arms and Legs appeared, as the wings pushed backwards forming a sort of shield on the back; the head of the Phoenix also folded forwards into the chest as a head appeared; the streaks of gold flashed as the newly formed Phoenix Zord landed behind Zurgane, it was slightly smaller than the other Zords and Zurgane's Zord but if anyone really knew Sabrina they would have guessed it was like her in more ways than one.
"Transformation complete!" Sabrina laughed, as she realized she had done it. After the last few months of just having a Zord she had found the link to creating her own Megazord
"What?" Zurgane demanded coldly, as he turned to the new Phoenix Megazord "Impossible!"
The other rangers watched in amazement as Zurgane turned to Sabrina: "Anything's possible if you put your mind too it!" Sabrina responded "Oh, new buttons! I'll pick..." she pressed a shiny red button in front of her "...this one!" the arm of her Zord shifted once more, as a opening appeared and a fire cannon appeared "Cool! Prepare to eat flames!" she aimed the cannon at Zurgane and pressed a red button on her controls "Flame attack!"
A tornado of flames shot out of the cannon and attacked Zurgane, knocking him away from the fallen Megazords. Sabrina cut off the attack and moved forward, using the shoulder of her Zord to tackle Zurgane to the ground.
"Whoa," Shane breathed from his Megazord "Where did she get that mode, Cam?"
The Samurai shook his head, although no one could see him "I dont know!" he answered. The Rangers must have guessed he had given Sabrina some form of upgrade so she could create her own Megazord, but he was just as surprised as they were. He hadnt done this.
They turned back to Sabrina their eyes widening "Sabrina!" Tori yelled "Look out!"
"Huh?" the red head asked, turning back around
Zurgane's Zord had managed to pick itself up from the ground was ready to attack Sabrina; but before he had the chance he was blasted backwards by the Thunders; after which the Wind rangers intercepted with consecutive punches sending Zurgane crashing to the ground once more.
"You guys ready to finish this?" Cam asked, looking sideways at the other three Megazords
"Lets do it!" Shane said, as he moved forward slightly
Sabrina turned her new Megazord back into a Zord, "Yeah!" she agreed with the others "Locked and Dropped!" her Power Sphere disappeared, before seconds later the Tornado Megazord stood tall, the Ninja Firebird combing creating the head and its armour. The rangers attacked with a gust of high winds and Zurgane's Zord exploded.
"Good going guys!" Tori said, as the others cheered
Hunter laughed from the back "No more Zurgane!"
"I wouldnt be so sure," Cam said from behind Sabrina
The red head turned in her seat to face the Samurai "But we trashed his Zord!" she pointed out
Dustin nodded "Even if he got out, he's got nothing!"
"Something just doesnt seem right," Cam mumured "Go back to you're campsite," he added to the guys "I gotta check something out at Ninja Ops"
"We'll go with you," Tori said "we're so over the whole camping thing"
Sabrina nodded
"Let us know if you find anything" Shane stated
Cam nodded "I will, keep your eyes open out there"
"Dont worry," Shane told him, and the Megazords disappeared as Sabrina, Tori and Cam returned to Ops in the Samurai Chopper.
-Scene-
"Man, I dont know if I can sit out here and relax after all this stuff," Hunter complained as he and the guys walked back to their campsite; they were all complaining about the two attacks that had happened within seconds of one another, and how all they wanted were a few days peace and quiet. It was like they were even able to breathe anymore not since they had become rangers anyway. "I just need to chill out for a while"
Dustin nodded "I for one, need to fill my grill - Cheese Brugers here I come!"
"Pickles," Blake said suddenly "Tell me somebody brought Pickles; I cant have cheese burgers without pickles"
"Sure bro," Shane reassured the Navy ranger "I brought them"
The reached the clearing, where their campsite was before stopping short. It was a mess, someone or something had ransacked the place "Oh no!" the boys exclaimed as they rushed forward, not only had the whole campsite been hit but the burgers were also gone.
"This is not happening!" Blake complained "This cannot be happening!"
Dustin sighed as he slammed the lid down on the grill "This whole nature thing is for the birds," he said "I say we bag it and go find some greasy fast food"
"Yeah, sure" Shane said turning to the Yellow ranger "Lets all take you car"
"Dude, you know I dont have a car" Dustin sighed
Blake folded his arms "This trip is turning out to be just one bad idea!"
"Oh come on guys," Shane inserted himself into conversation "we're Ninja's! Trained to use what's around us?" he picked up several empty containers from the ground "Havent you heard the saying 'When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?'
"Well," Dustin sighed, looking around "I dont see any Lemon trees around here, and between you and me, dude; Lemonade isnt going to do it for me right now"
Shane covered his mouth with his hands, as he shook his head at Dustin "It's a saying," he pointed out "Let's see what does grow around here" he threw a container at the Yellow ranger; then at Hunter and Blake. "Let's split up!" he added "And no one, comes back without any food"
"Alright," the three other boys agreed, before they all took off in different directions
xXx
Meanwhile back at Ninja Ops; Cam had set up the mainframe to search the surrounding area for any disturbances; Sabrina was behind him training with Leanne, as Tori sat on the table and watched. The two red heads were only sparring; Leanne wanted to see how well Sabrina's hand-eye co-ordination was in battle, what she didnt realize was that the Great Tommy Oliver was Sabrina's sparing teacher and partner when he was in town, so her skills came from a professional defender of Earth.
"It just doesnt seem logical," Cam mumured to himself, oblivious to the girls behind him
"Cam," Sensei spoke up "at times one must turn away from a problem, in order to find its solution"
Leanne looked up briefly from her sparring lesson "You're dad has a point, Cam" she said, before ducking under a high kick that Sabrina had delivered her way; she punched at the smaller red head, who caught her wrist and twisted it causing Leanne to flip over sideways, pulling Sabrina with her and push off with her fist sending the smaller girl stumbling backwards.
"I've turned everyway I know how," the Samurai explained "Im not even sure there is a problem!"
Just then the computer beeped, interrupting the sparring lesson going on Tori pushed herself off the chair and hurried to Cam's side as Leanne and Sabrina followed her. "What did you find?" Tori asked
"Im getting a weird energy reading," Cam explained to the two girls "I think Zurgane used some kind of power replicator on us"
Sabrina frowned "Meaning?"
"It means you're in big trouble" Leanne answered her
Suddenly the picture on the screen changed as another Zord appeared; "Well there goes the neighbourhood," Tori said,
"Guys," Cam said, opening a link to the others "I hate to tell you this; but we got another emergency on our hands"
xXx
Shane who had been half way from the campsite; turned as his morpher bleeped and Cam's voice filtered through.
"I hear you Cam" he said, lifting his morpher to his lips
-Scene-
Blake who had been 3 quarters away from the campsite and in the thick of the woods, nodded although Cam couldn't see him.
"With you bro," he agreed
-Scene-
"On my way" Hunter said and he took off to find the others
-Scene-
Dustin who stood on the edge of a river nodded "Right behind you dude!" he said into his morpher.
xXx
"Ready?" Cam asked
Sabrina and Tori nodded "Ready"
"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!"
"Fire Storm! Ranger Form!"
"Samurai Storm! Ranger Form!"
"RANGER STORM POWER!" they called together, before entering the Zord bay hoping up into their respective Zords and heading towards the new emergency.
xXx
The Tornado Megazord landed in front of the new Zord "What's the deal?" Shane asked
"Im back!" Zurgae growled "and you're through!"
"Zurgane!" the rangers cried in surprise
Cam nodded "I knew it!"
"Let's take him out!" Shane commanded and the Megazord moved forward; they aimed a punch which Zurgane deflected; they then aimed a kick, but Zurgane mimicked their actions. Thinking they would have a better chance with a weapon, the rangers swung their sword forward but it left no mark on Zurgane's Zord as it clashed across his chest.
"What's the matter rangers?" he asked "not surprised are you?" he then raised his arm and shot off a laser hand at them
"Look out!" Sabrina yelled, pulling back on her controls as the Megazord jumped into the air and the mountain behind them exploded.
Zurgane laughed as the Tornado Megazord landed once more "I have another surprise for you," he said "Power Disk. Locked and Dropped!" The centre of his Zord glowed before coming apart as a Power Sphere spinning in this ainr. The Rangers gave a startled gasp and stepped backwards.
"No way!" Tori and Sabrina cried
Shane shook his head "It's a Power Sphere!"
Dustin chuckled "What a Poser!"
"I knew it!" Cam said
Hunter nodded "This is brutal!"
"Totally brutal," Blake agreed
Zurgane chuckled "That's right," he said "A power sphere; cloned from your own technology. It's your move"
Stunned into silence; the rangers watched one. Their move! But what could they do? If Zurgane had cloned their every movent then he would know what they were thinking and they would be defenceless. "You cant use our Powers against us!" Shane demanded fiercly, but it was obvious Zurgane didnt care.
"We'll just see about that!" the metal space freak said, as the sphere appeared and a sword weapon appeared "Maximum Power"
The star on the front of the rangers Megazord, turned a few degrees and put out a protective barrier; but it wasnt strong enough as Zurgane's Sword sliced straight through it. "Whoa!" Shane cried "Hang on guys!"
Zurgane quckly reacted by spinning his Sword in a 360 circle and slashing forward; the energy blast hit the Rangers Megazord with explosive results and they tilted backwards crashing onto the ground with thunderous results.
"We're hit!" Shane yelled, "We're down!"
Sabrina groaned as she was pinned against her chair inside the head of the Megazord; around her were her friends they were either pinned against their chairs also or lying over their consoles caused by the momentum the crash of their Zord had caused. The red head coughed, as she rolled her head to the side as pain shot through the back of her neck, she reached up a head and pressed it against her neck wincing slightly although she was thankful that she had been morphed or this would have been ten times worse, for her and the others! "Is everyone okay?" she asked, her voice a little weak
There was a series of murmurs from the others; before Zurgane appeared once more over them
"Now for the final strike!" he said, placing his sword against the head of their Megazord "Goodbye Rangers!" he yelled, pulling back on his sword for the final and fatal blow.
"NO!" the rangers yelled,
Cam pulled out the guitar that would call the Mammoth Zord "Mammoth Zord, online!"
The Mammoth appeared behind Zurgane as he turned "Never sent an Elephant to do an alien's job" he growled as he sent an energy blast at the Mammoth, there was an explosion and the Mammoth Zord stopped moving.
"No!" the rangers yelled
"He's immobilized it!"
Shane moved forward in his seat slightly "I cant believe it!" he exclaimed "Let's put a new spin on things!" he commanded, and the star on the front of the Megazord started moving quickly once more.
"Sorry," Zurgane rasped "Not this time! Batter up!" and he threw a energy blast through the wind at them, paralyzing them.
The Megazord sparked and the rangers cried out "Rangers, come back to Ninja Ops at once!" Sensei's voice sounded over the intercoms "Use the Ninja Firebird to cloak your retreat"
"Aw man!" Shane complained "On our way Sensei - Sabrina!"
The Firebird nodded "On it!"
Her suit glowed slightly and a flamed wrapped itself around the Megazord, when it died the Rangers and Megazord were gone; along with the Mammoth Zord.
xXx
The rangers crowded around the Mainframe once back inside Ninja Ops "He's using our powers to attack the city!" Shane pointed out
"We've got to ge back out there!" Hunter said
Cam shook his head "I need more time before the Zords will be ready to battle again"
"How are we going to fight that thing with the Zords?" Tori askd
Sensei hopped up onto Dustin's head and landed on the table "Think rangers, what else have you got at your disposal?"
"What about the Gliders?" Dustin asked
Blake nodded "and the Tsunami Cycles"
"Excellent thinking," Sensi complimented them "individually your weapons would be over-powered but together your resources will be significant"
Shane nodded "Alright, follow my lead. Maybe we can draw him out of that thing" he glanced around at the others who nodded "Lets go"
"I'll bring the Zords when their repaired" Cam told them "Good luck"
And the Rangers left
-Scene-
"Hey Zurgane!" Shane yelled as he flew into view on his glider, "you gonna hide in that thing all day?"
"Yeah!" Tori agreed as she flew in behind Shane, Dustin behind her "come out and fight us!"
"Or are you too scared?" Hunter asked as he rode in on his Tsunami cycle beside Blake with Sabrina on the back of his bike, as they attacked like pesky little ants attacking a picnic.
"Look," Dustin said as he swooped out and then back in "no Zords!"
"Come and get us!" Sabrina taunted
"Enough of this foolishness!" Zurgane said from inside his Zord, he attacked the Wind rangers as they fell from their gliders and Zurgane landed in front of them when they crashed to the ground. "I'll fight you on my own!"
"Go time!" Shane said and the five rangers raced forward to start their battle with him.
Hunter, Blake and Sabrina attacked first with their Thunder and Fire staffs; Zurgane blocked the attack with his swords, before slashing across the three rangers chests with his swords, sending them to the ground.
He then turned to Shane, Tori and Dustin who had appeared behind him, they attacked with their lasers, but Zurgane blocked each and everyone of them before sending back an attack of his own, sending the Wind rangers to the ground. He thundered towards them, but was blocked off from attacking as Sabrina re-appeared for another chance, the red head flipped backwards as Zurgane slashed at her and she blocked his next attack when she landed; twisting her arm up and spinning Zurgane around.
While Sabrina fought, it gave the Wind rangers a chance to get back to their feet and create the Storm Striker "Sabrina!" Tori yelled, as the red head moved aside before the blast hit. Dustin was at the head of the Storm Striker.
"Ready" Shane said
"Fire!" Dustin commanded as he shot into the air where a 100ton metal ball appeared, it fell down towards Zurgane, who sliced straight through it with his Swords. "What?"
The Thunders and Star stepped up in front of the Wind rangers "No way!" Hunter said in surprise at the action before him
Zurgane then threw his swords into the air and aimed his hands at the rangers; before firing laser pellets at them, they exploded on impact with the rangers who cried out as they were flipped over and landed on the ground, as Zurgane caught his swords and laughed maliciously.
"Cam!" Shane spoke from where he lay "We're running out of options here"
"Im on my way," Cam answered "and im bringing some back-up!"
There were a few minutes as Zurgane stood over the rangers, before the ground started to rumble and the Thunder Zords and the Lion Zord came charging in, followed closely by the Dolphin Zord. There was a screech as the Hawk Zord swooped in closely followed by a low humming sound as the Phoenix Zord appeared.
"Alright!" Sabrina said
"If that's the way you want it" Zurgane growled "To the Zords!" and he disappeared back into his.
"It's on now," Shane said, and the rangers jumped up into their designated Zords, before creating their Megazords. The Phoenix Megazord, the Wind Megazord and the Thunder Megazord stood proudly in front of Zurgane seconds later.
Zurgane aimed out his arm as he fired off a laser hand at the three rangers; Sabrina and the Wind rangers moved aside but the Wind rangers werent so lucky as they took the hit, Zurgane then stumbled backwards as Cam shot lasers at him when he arrived.
"Time to call out the Tornado," Shane said, holding up his Power Sphere
"You got it!" Hunter agreed, holding up his Power Sphere
"Yeah," Cam said
"All over it" Sabrina agreed
"Locked and dropped!" the four chimed together as they inserted their Power Spheres into the device beside them. Sabrina Megazord changed back into a Zord and their Megazords combined.
"Give it your best shot," Zurgane grumbled as he stood in front of the Tornado Megazord
"Charge!" Shane commanded, the star from the front of the Zord in hand
They charged forward to attack but Zurgane seemed quicker than them; he blocked and then slashed and slashed at the rangers, causing them to stumble backwards.
The rangers slashed sideways with their swords but Zurgane disappeared before their very eyes; confused, the rangers turned to see him behind them before he stabbed them with his powered sword; he then spun his sword in a 360 circle and slashed at them with its energy build up.
"It's over for you!" Zurgane growled
"Not even close," Cam retaliated "Mammoth Zord online!"
The Megazord turned to the Mammoth Zord as it appeared
"Good job!" Tori said when she saw it
Dustin nodded "Awesome!"
"Lets go for it!" Shane commanded
Zurgane sent an energy blast at the Mammoth Zord but it made no difference as the Mammoth Zord continued onwards. The rangers combined with the elephant and towered over Zurgane who looked up at them.
"Give up!" he commanded
"Never!" Shane shot back, they then commanded the Megazord and shot out several different power spheres as they lined up and opened before attaching themselves to the Mammoth adding to the Power outage "Ready!"
"Ready!" Tori responded, closely followed by the others
"Ready!" Dustin said
"Ready!" Hunter said
"Ready!" Blake answered
"Ready!" Sabrina responded
"Ready!" Cam finished
"FIRE!" they all yelled, and using each of their energies and powers, the Mammoth and the other weapons all shot out energy blasts; it hit Zurgane's Zord and he exploded.
"Yeah!" the rangers all cheered, Zurgane was gone…once and for all.
xXx
The day had ended once more, the boys returned to their campsite it was a wonder to the girls that they still wanted to go camping. Tori and Sabrina went with them this time and returned to the city with the van. It was now the end of the Weekend and Tori and Sabrina had gone back to pick the boys us. Cam had even joined them.
The Blue van came to a stop amongst the trees, as the three rangers hopped out and re-grouped in front of the vehicle.
"I can't believe these guys still wanted to go camping after all this," Tori pointed out, as the three of them walked towards the campsite "All I want to do is sleep"
"Me too," Cam answered,
Sabrina nodded "and me"
"I just didnt want them to think I was...well...lame" Cam added sheepishly
Tori smiled "Me too"
"Wow...we're not the lame ones" Sabrina said as she stopped short of the campsite; the boys were out cold outside of their tent, exchanging looks the three laughed.
"I bet Zurgane is in worse shape than them," Tori said, through her laughter
Cam and Sabrina nodded "No doubt!"
A/N: Dont got much to say, except...Goodnight!
