A/N: Here's part one of the Green Candle. When I watched Zyuranger, I understood why this two-parter was made in the first place, since Bruai (Tommy's counterpart) died near the end of the show.
Sophie was inside the Youth Center, watching Tommy and Zack practice martial arts on the floor, and she had to admit, they were both pretty evenly matched, until Tommy then tackled Zack, knocking him to the floor.
"You okay, man?" he asked Zack.
"Yeah." Zack said, as Tommy helped him up. "Good move."
"Hey, you weren't too bad yourself." Tommy said.
"He's right there, Zack." Sophie said, walking over to them. "You looked pretty evenly matched."
"Thanks, Soph." Zack said. "So, what's up with the dance?"
"I haven't asked her." Tommy said.
"What?" Zack and Sophie said at the same time.
"I don't know I...I guess I'm nervous." Tommy said.
"Aw, bro, I'm telling you." Zack said. "Kimberly's gonna say yes, but you have to ask her first."
"Zack's got a point there." said Sophie.
"You're her best friend, Soph." said Tommy. "Are you sure she'll say yes?"
"After the way I've seen her stare at you, yes." said Sophie. "She's been doing that since you first arrived here."
"So you both think I should ask her today?" Tommy asked.
"Don't put it off, man." said Zack, picking something up from the floor. "It's time to make your move."
Zack held a up a piece of wood to his face, and then Tommy kicked it, splitting it in half.
"You're right, both of you." Tommy then said.
(Rita's palace)
Rita was laughing.
"The time has finally come!" she said. "Gather 'round, fools!"
Squatt and Baboo then walked towards her.
"I have the perfect plan to conquer that pathetic little planet Earth." Rita said, putting a map on the table.
"Oh, good." Squatt said, while Baboo held a chair open for her.
"Yes, it's so devious and sinister, even for me." Rita said.
'What's the plan, your evilness?" Squatt asked.
"With the Green Candle formed from magic wax." Goldar said, holding the candle. "When it burns down it will steal the Green Ranger's powers."
"First, we kidnap him, then the Earth shall shake." Rita said.
"You'll have the Green Ranger's power as well as your own." Goldar said.
"Ooh! Whisper softy." Rita said, waving a tiny wand over the map. "Let it out. Find Green Ranger. Point him out!"
She put the wand on the map, and then moved around on the map.
"Hey, it works." Squatt said.
"Look, it found him!" Rita said, once the wand had stopped moving. "Oh, what a great day!"
(Youth Center)
Tommy and Zack were now practicing again, while Sophie kept hold of their towels, and then Zack got Tommy in a headlock and pulled him to the fall.
"You lost your focus." said Zack.
"Zack's right there, Tommy." said Sophie.
"'Cause you've both got me thinking about Kim." Tommy said.
Zack then helped Tommy up.
"The sooner you ask Kim to the dance, the sooner your mind, will be at ease. Trust me." Zack said.
"Yeah, okay, Zack." said Tommy. "If you're such a pro, let's see you in action?"
"Child's play, my friend." Zack said, walking over to a girl, who Sophie then recognized as Angela. "Frist, you have to catch her eye with your wallet."
He then did his charm, as Sophie and Tommy watched.
"And you have to impress her with some smooth spins." Zack went on.
He then started spinning around, but Angela walked away.
"Finally, you just have to bust a move." Zack finished.
He then started dancing, before stopping by Angela.
"Zack...get a life." Angela said, and then walked off.
They both laughed as they walked up to him.
"Real impressive, bud." Tommy said.
"Yeah. Real impressive." said Bulk, who just walked in with Skull. "If you're trying to get a date with a carnival geek."
Skull laughed at that.
"What's the matter?" Bulk asked. "Guys can't get a date?"
"Well, if you're such experts, why don't you teach us?" Zack asked.
Bulk lifted his jacket to his head.
"Roses are red. Violets are blue. No girl's gonna go out with you." he said.
They both laughed.
"Hey, I'm stuck." Bulk said, as he tried to get his jacket off his head.
"Stuck?" Skull asked.
"Get me outta here." Bulk said. "Get me outta here! I can't breathe. I can't breathe."
"All right, hold still. I'm trying." Skull said, trying to get Bulk's jacket off, only for them both to end up on the floor.
Everyone laughed at that.
"Yo, ladies, check this out." Zack said, and then a bunch of girls came over to see, and then laughed at Bulk and Skull.
"Roses are red." said Tommy.
"Violets are blue." said Zack.
"We sure can learn something from you." they both said together. "Not!"
Everyone then laughed again.
"In case you're wondering, Bulk. No, I'm not going with you, or you Skull." Sophie said, as she walked off.
"Hey, Soph." Tommy said, getting her to turn around. "Do you know where Kim is?"
"I think she's over at her house." Sophie said. "Why? You gonna ask her."
"Yeah, well, I'm gonna try." Tommy said, as he walked out and left.
"I'm sure Kim will say yes." Sophie said to Zack.
"Yeah, me too." Zack said.
(Rita's palace)
"Candle green with fire's flower." Rita said. "Ba she sha ba! Take Green Ranger's power!
"I will be done." said Goldar. "The Putties will find Green Ranger and take his coin!"
He then laughed.
"And then..." he said, before laughing some more. "And then, we'll have him!"
(The park)
Tommy had called Kimberly, and told her to meet him at the park, as he had something to talk to her about. They were both currently walking by the pound, which had a lot of ducks in right now.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" asked Kimberly. "You sounded so serious over the phone.
"Yeah, um. Well, I was wanted to know if..." Tommy said.
"Yes?" Kimberly asked, a grin on her face.
"If maybe you'd like to, uh..." Tommy said.
"Like to what, Tommy?" Kimberly asked.
"Kim, I just don't know how to ask you this." Tommy said.
"Come on, Tommy, we're friends." Kimberly said. "You can ask me anything."
"Really?" Tommy asked.
"Yes." Kimberly said.
"All right." Tommy sighed. "Here it goes. Um...Kim, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go to the..."
Before he could finish, Putties showed up.
"Look out!" Tommy said.
"Putties!" Kimberly said.
They both got ready to fight, as the Putties surrounded them. Kimberly back jumped, and then kicked one in the chest, while Tommy dodged one, before getting kicked in the chest. A Putty then side flipped over him, and then tried to hit him, but he blocked it, and then tackled the Putty. He then got back up and kicked another one, while Kimberly did a couple of back flips, and then kicked one in the hip, knocking it down. A Putty then jumped in the air, and then Tommy did the same, kicking it in the chest. Kimberly then side flipped, blocked a Putty's attack and then hit it in the chest. Tommy tried to tornado kick one, but missed as it ducked, and when he tired again, it ducked again, but when it tried to kick him, he ducked, then grabbed it's arm and then hit it in the chest, then blocked an attack and then hit it again, and then kicked it. Kimberly then side flipped past him, and then hit one in the chest, but then she saw her Power Morpher on the floor, and she tried to reach it, but a Putty kicked it away, and then picked it up. The Putty then looked at Tommy, who was trying to kick one, but missed, but when he tired again, he managed to in the hip. He then ran forward and kicked another one, and then another one, but it grabbed his foot, and then another one jumped over his leg, and then another one flipped him backwards, but he managed to land on his feet. He then ran at the two of them and split kicked them. Two Putties then side flipped and then back flipped towards the one with Kimberly's morpher. Kimberly then side flipped towards it and knocked the morpher out of his hands, right into the air, then hit the Putty in the chest, and then side flipped to the morpher, which was now on the ground, and then tried to grab it, but a Putty grabbed her from behind. She tried to get free, but it wouldn't let go, but she managed to kick another one in the process. Tommy then tried to punch one, but missed, and was then kicked in the chest, and then in the back, knocking him down. Kimberly still struggled to break free of the grip of the one that had her, when another one grabbed her right arm, as three of them gathered around Tommy. They picked him up, and like Kimberly, he struggled to get free.
"Tommy, my morpher!" Kimberly shouted.
"I can't reach mine!" Tommy shouted.
Goldar then showed up.
"It's Goldar!" Kimberly shouted.
"What do you want now, metalhead?" Tommy asked.
"Now take him!" Goldar ordered.
The Putties that had hold of Kimberly threw her to the ground, and then ran towards Tommy and Goldar. Goldar then put his sword into the ground, and then Tommy and the Putties disappeared.
"Tommy!" Kimberly yelled.
"Say good-bye to Green Ranger forever." Goldar said.
He then disappeared.
Kimberly just sat there, looking helpless.
(Dark Dimension)
Tommy and the Putties arrived in Rita's Dark Dimension.
"Just like old times, isn't it, Green Ranger?" Goldar asked, who'd just arrived himself.
"What's this all about, Goldar?" Tommy asked.
One of the Putties then side flipped towards Goldar, and handed him Tommy's morpher.
"Ah, yes, his morpher!" Goldar said, as the Putty went back to the others. "Leave him to me."
The Putties then disappeared.
"Get comfortable, Green Ranger." said Goldar. "Rita has big plans for you."
"Never!" Tommy said.
He then moved forward and tried to punch Goldar, but Goldar hit him in the chest with his knee. He backed rolled and quickly got back up, while Goldar laughed.
"Jason. Alpha." He said, speaking into his communicator.
"Forget it. You're telecommunications devices don't work in this dimension." Goldar said.
"Why am I here?" Tommy asked.
"It's simple." Goldar said. "If you serve Rita, you can keep your powers. If not, you'll lose them when the candle burns out."
"What candle?" Tommy asked.
"The Green Candle" Goldar said.
He then moved away, to reveal to Tommy it was behind him, while laughing.
"It's made of very special wax." Goldar explained. "When it burns out, Rita will have stolen your powers!"
(Rita's palace)
"Do you have my monster ready?" Rita asked. "'Cause Finster, I need it."
"Coming right up, your evilness." said Finster, taking a clay monster out of the bin. "Oh, yes. He's the worse, in the best of ways, of course."
He began to make his way to the monster-matic and opened it.
"He's able to change into any shape at will." Finster said, putting it on the conveyor.
"Ooh! This I want to see!" said Baboo, as he Squatt and Rita saw Finster put it in.
"Where is it?" Squatt asked. "He looks great."
Finster put the monster into the monster-matic and then activated it. The monster then came out laughing. He was white with only one eye.
"Here's looking at you!" Squatt said. "Boy, he makes me look good, doesn't he?"
"Hush." Rita said.
"Uh-huh." Finster said, walking around the monster. "Yes, yes. Meet the Cyclops."
"The Earth is mine at last!" Rita said. "Yes!"
(Dark Dimension)
Goldar and Tommy were circling each other.
"I won't let you get away with this, Goldar." Tommy said.
Goldar laughed.
"Like to stop the candle from burning?" he asked. "Be my guest."
Tommy then tired to kick Goldar, then he ducked when Goldar tired hit him with his sword, and the he tried to punch Goldar. Goldar then hit Tommy in the chest and knocked him away, laughing as he did it.
"You are doomed!" He said.
Tommy looked at the candle, and then back to Goldar.
(Command Center)
The Rangers were all in the Command Center. Zordon had told them that Tommy had been captured by Goldar in the park.
"Another one of Rita's wicked plans." said Kimberly. "She's gonna try and regain control of Tommy. I just know it."
"I can't get a lock on him." Zordon said. "Rita must be holding him in her dimensional prison."
"Billy, you come up with anything?" Jason asked, walking over to Billy, who was on the computer.
"Not yet." Billy said. "I'm still trying to tune into the frequency on Tommy's morpher."
The alarm then went off.
"Ay-Yi-Yi. The alarm!" Alpha said.
"Look, the viewing globe." Kimberly said.
They all walked closer to it, and saw the Dragonzord causing havoc in the city.
"Dragonzord." said Jason.
"Attacking Angel Grove." said Trini.
"It can't be." said Sophie.
"That could only mean one thing." said Zack.
"Rita had regained control of the Dragonzord." said Zordon.
They then saw the Dragonzord drill a hole inside a wall, and then fired it's missiles at the city.
"We gotta stop it." said Jason.
"What about, Tommy?" Kimberly asked, sounding worried and concerned.
"We'll have to take him down too." said Zack.
"After what happened last time." said Sophie. "Remember, he was too tough for all of us combined."
"We don't have a choice, Soph." said Trini.
"Wait." Zordon said, making the Rangers turn back to him. "My sensors indicate the Dragonzord we see, is an imposter."
"One of Rita's creations?" Trini asked.
"She's trying to lure us into a trap." said Billy.
"We don't have a choice." said Jason. "It's got to be stopped."
"Be carful, Power Rangers." said Zordon.
"It's morphin time!" Jason shouted.
"Compsognathus!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
(Rita's palace)
"Go!" Rita shouted. "Make them pay, Goldar!"
(Dark Dimension)
"I am called to battle." Goldar said.
Tommy then saw his chance to get to the candle.
"Hey, don't get any foolish ideas, Ranger." Goldar said. "The candle will be safe while I'm away."
He pointed his sword at Tommy, and then a chain appeared around his hands, keeping him still.
"See?" Goldar asked.
He then laughed and disappeared.
(The city)
The Rangers then arriveed where the fake Dragonzord was, only to find Goldar and a bunch of Putties there too.
"Waste them!" Goldar ordered.
Jason knocked one aside and then kicked a second in the face. Kimberly hit one in the chest and then on the back of it's head. Billy ducked under ones kick, then blocked a seconds attack, before elbowing it, and tackling the first. Sophie kicked one in the chest and then grabbed another by the arm and pulled it down. Trini back flipped, getting her legs tired around ones neck, and then pulled it down with her legs, then grabbed a second by the arm and threw it down over her, before kicking the one she had her legs wrapped around, and back flipping. Zack jumped down some stairs and kicked one with both his legs, knocked another aside, and then spin kicked a third, before kicking a fourth in the chest and punching it in the face. Goldar and Jason then locked swords together, with Goldar eventually hitting Jason, knocking him back.
"Where's Tommy, Goldar?!" Jason shouted.
Goldar then came at Jason again, but Jason blocked it with his Power Sword. Goldar then kicked Jason back, and then tried to hit Jason again, but Jason blocked it.
"You will never see your friend again!" Goldar said, hitting Jason and knocking him to the ground.
The fake Dragonzord continued to rampage in the city, just as the Rangers regrouped, with some of the debris falling on them.
"It's destroying the city!" Jason shouted, who then kicked a Putty in the face. "We've got to do something, and fast!"
More debris fell on them, as they continued fighting the Putties. Jason kicked one in the face, while Billy punched one in the face, and Sophie tackled one.
"Oh, man!" Jason shouted, looking up at the Dragonzord.
Kimberly upper kicked one, but missed, Trini hit one in the chest, but it wouldn't go down, Sophie punched one in the chest, but it got back up, Zack and Billy both grabbed one by the arm each, and then Zack threw his away.
"I think you know what time it is, Jase!" Sophie shouted.
"You're right, Soph!" Jason shouted. "We need dinozord power now!"
Their Zords all soon arrived from their hiding places, and were ready to help, and the Rangers jumped into them.
"Log on!" Jason shouted.
"Mastodon, ready to rock!" Zack shouted.
"Triceratops, online!" Billy shouted.
"Saber-tooth Tiger, set!" Trini shouted.
"Compsognathus, battle ready!" Sophie shouted.
"Pterodactyl, powered up!" Kimberly shouted.
"Power up your crystal!" Jason ordered.
"Two, one, power up!" they all shouted.
"Okay, Power Rangers, let's do it!" Jason shouted.
Their Zords then combined into Megazord Tank mode.
"Let's show them some Megazord power!" Jason shouted.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated." said the computer voice. The Megazord then went to battle mode and when it was complete, the computer voice said. "Megazord activated."
The fake Dragonzord then marched towards the Megazord, with it doing the same, causing them both to grab and pull away from each other. They both then turned and switched places, until the fake Dragonzord hit the Megazord with it's hand, and then it's tail, knocking it back. The Megazord then punched the fake Dragonzord, and then dodged it's next attack, tried to kick it, but was blocked, and then they switched places again. The fake Dragonzord then pushed the Megazord away, before hitting it with it's tail.
"Man, he's just as powerful as the real Dragonzord!" Jason shouted.
"Yeah, and Rita controls him." said Kimberly. "What if we can't defeat him?"
"We've got to." said Zack.
"But how?" Kimberly asked.
"I'm sure there's a way, Kim." said Sophie.
"We could do it if we had Tommy's help." said Jason. "Rangers, we've got to pulled it together until he gets here."
"Why don't we try the Power Sword?" Sophie asked.
"Good idea, Soph." said Jason. "We need the Power Sword now!"
The Power Sword then landed in the Megazords hand and they started hitting the fake Dragonzord.
(Dark Dimension)
Tommy was struggling to get free, when Goldar returned.
"Hey!" Tommy said.
"I'm back, and happy to report that your miserable friends are losing the battle" Goldar said.
He then removed the chains from Tommy's hands.
"You won't defeat them, Goldar." Tommy said.
"Once she has your power Rita will be able to defeat everyone." Goldar said.
"She'll never have it." Tommy said.
"Oh, she will!" Goldar said. "See how it burns? Like to try stopping it again?"
Tommy then kicked Goldar's sword and then kicked him in the chest, but then Goldar hit Tommy in the chest with his knee, and then pushed him to the floor.
"Face it, Green Ranger, you're trapped." Goldar said.
Tommy then kicked Goldar again, then ducked when Goldar tried to hit him with his sword, then Tommy grabbed Goldar's arm and kicked him, pulling his sword away while doing it. He then tried to hit Goldar with his sword, but Goldar knocked him back.
"I saw how you got me here, Goldar." Tommy said. "Now let's see if it works in reverse."
"Hey! No!" Goldar shouted, as Tommy lifted Goldar's sword in the air.
Tommy then hit the floor with the sword.
"No!" Goldar said, as he tried to stop him.
The sword hit the floor, and then they were teleported back to the park, in the same place as before. Tommy then kicked Goldar in the leg, and then pushed his hand away.
"See you later, gold guy!" Tommy said, bringing out his Power Morpher.
"Dragonzord!"
He then disappeared, just as Goldar was about to hit him with his sword.
"Well, you may have escaped but your powers won't last long, for your candle burns low." Goldar said.
(Dark Dimension)
The Green Candle was still burning, but a little slower now.
(The battle)
Tommy arrived on a rooftop, and saw the Megazord fighting the fake Dragonzord.
"Huh? Oh, no!" he said. "Rangers, I'm here. Goldar had me trapped!"
"All right!" said Jason.
"It's time for some real Dragonzord power!" Tommy shouted, before playing his flute.
The fake Dragonzord kept knocking the Megazord aside, before tackling it to the ground.
"Huh?" Tommy asked. "My powers are weakening already."
He then played again, and this time the real Dragonzord appeared.
The Megazord got back up, and tried hitting the fake with the Power Sword, only for the fake to block it.
"Hey, here comes the real Dragonzord!" Zack said, noticing the real one and pointing at it. "Look!"
"Just in time!" Sophie said.
Tommy turned and saw the real Dragonzord.
"Huh? Yes!" he said.
He then played again, and the real Dragonzord hit the fake one with it's tail, knocking it back from the Megazord, just before it turned into Cyclops.
"Look, we must have hurt him!" Jason shouted. "He can't hold his shape anymore!"
Cyclops then changed into the Megazord, then back to it's normal form, then into the Dragonzord fighting mode, then back to it's normal form, and disappeared when they tried to hit it.
"Yeah!" Jason said.
"Way to go!" Billy said.
"Way to go, Tommy!" Jason said. "Glad you're back."
"I'm a Power Ranger till the end." Tommy said.
(Dark Dimension)
The Green Candle was still burning.
"Yes, and your end will come soon, Green Ranger." said Rita, who had watched the battle. "Very soon."
(Command Center)
The Rangers were all back in the Command Center, with Alpha scanning Tommy.
"What is Alpha doing?" Kimberly asked.
"He's scanning Tommy for internal damage due to crossing dimensions." Billy said.
"Well, that's one I don't translating." said Sophie.
"You're all clear." Alpha said, stopping the scan.
"Thanks, Alpha." said Tommy, as the rest breathed.
"You are welcome." Alpha said, walking away.
"Man, I'm just glad I was able to get out of there." Tommy said.
"Hey, I remember Rita's secret dimension." said Jason, putting a hand on Tommy's shoulder. "That's one bad place."
"The important thing, Tommy, is that you're okay." said Kimberly.
"Am I?" Tommy asked. "According to Rita my power's gonna be gone soon."
"What?!" Sophie exclaimed.
"She's just bluffing, Tommy." said Trini. "Trying to scare you. How would she be able to take away your power?"
"I'm afraid it is possible, Rangers." said Zordon, making them all turn to face him.
"Zordon, then you found out something about the Green Candle I told you about." Tommy said.
"Yes. Rita has a special from of wax from the gamma-tri system." Zordon said. "Once touched, it retains a person's body energy."
"But I never touched anything." said Tommy.
"You did when you worked for Rita." said Zordon.
"No way!" Kimberly said. "And she's been saving the wax all this time?"
"Yes." Zordon said. "And now she has made a candle from the was and cast a spell over it, connecting the green ranger's power with it's flame."
"Then Rita was bluffing." said Tommy. "Once the candle burns out, I'm history. The Green Ranger's...finished."
(Dark Dimension)
The Green Candle was still burning, and Rita was laughing.
