Down Town Angel Grove:
"We need dinozord power now!" The rangers all chanted in unison.
From out of the depths of the world came the dinozords, the fearsome colossal vessels of battle! The tyrannosaurs broke loose from the Earth, fire and blazes of red energy around it. The Saber Tooth Tiger leaped into action from the jungles of Asian sprinting toward the AG in less than a half minute, running so far is treaded over the oceans of the Pacific. The Mastodon burst free from the ice caps of the North Pole hurling toward the south at break neck speeds, faster than the top jets or rockets ever constructed by man. The Pterodactyl, piloted by Zordon came straight away already in combat from the battle around them. Finally the Triceratops made its approach from the Death Valley deserts of America riding hard, storming into action.
The rangers stood around a center building of the down town all looking toward their zord which grouped together springing at full speeds. Jason clinched his fists readying himself for the coming storm as he looked at the approaching Dragonzord. "I still can't believe his is happening." He shook his head in disbelief.
"What's the plan bro?" Zach asked
"We have to stop that thing's advance, but at the same time we can't destroy it. I remember it… it's the Dragonzord. Rangers at all costs we can't destroy that thing!" Said Jason
"Why the hell not?" Billy asked looking confused
"We need it to form the Ultrazord," Trini suddenly realized
"You remember it?" Jason asked her with a smile. "I wasn't sure if you did or not."
"I do…" Trini responded recalling her parallel time line "Only it's a lot greener then I remember it to be…"
"Same here, I remember it being a lot whiter." Jason added
"But Alpha is the white ranger, not Tommy!" Billy noted patting Alpha's shoulder.
"I'm afraid Jason is correct Billy. The Dragonzord was once part of the Power Rangers arsenal many thousands of years ago before Rita took control of it…" Alpha sighed
"So whatever that thing is we need it?" Zach asked
"Yes." Jason affirmed
"Alpha don't you have a Zord?" Billy suddenly asked
"I am a Zord…" Alpha quickly replied
The rangers all suddenly looked at him with confusion and almost in unison chanted. "What?" "You're a zord?" "Alpha?" "Zord?"
"Yes, Zordon designed me to be incorporated into the Megazord. Together we can form the Super Alpha Megazord," he explained.
"I definitely don't remember that…" Trini noted thinking of the original time line.
"Then let's do it now. We're going to form this new Megazord. Rangers, now is the time we show the Green Ranger that there is no beating us!" said Jason raising his fist.
Observatory Roof Top:
Dex stood ready, his confidence overwhelming, yet Tommy stood in equal self-assurance as the green ranger saw no need fear the Masked Rider. Both warriors prepared themselves, not wanting to be the first to strike at the other. "You seem nervous green ranger," Dex stated mockingly.
"You may believe as you wish." Tommy replied
Then it came with a flurry of a thousand winds, Dex sprang his assault. He first swung with fists that would crush the very concrete they fought around, but the punches he threw did not strike a single blow to Tommy. Punch after punch was only met with block after block. Then a grouping of kicks came, equally met with more dodging and deflections from Tommy.
The green ranger then began his own attack on Dex, but the Masked Rider was ready. The evil ranger shot back with a combination of karate chops and legs sweeps all of which the Masked Rider darted and avoided. It appeared as though both Tommy and Dex were both equally matched, none of the fighters gaining the advantage over the other. The clash between the two continued.
With the Rangers:
The Dinozords began to make their last approach coming toward the rangers together. The power rangers over looked them in the Hall of America rooftop nodding at them as they made their way. The time had finally come again to reform the Megazord, and though Kimberly was absent from combat, Zordon's ability to pilot her zord made up for her lack of presence. The rangers stood together and in complete synchronicity sprang to their giant robots.
"Ay AH!" Jason called out as he leaped into the air landing inside his zord. The other rangers following his example, "Log on!"
"Mastodon ready to rock!"
"Triceratops battle ready!"
"Saber Tooth Tiger online!"
"Pterodactyl remote controls operational," Zordon chanted from the command center.
Jason shook his head listening to Zordon's voice which he felt was a poor replacement of Kimberly's. Listening to his voice instead of the teen girl he had come to like made him feel the roll call was completely out of rotation. He mumbled to himself… "Poor girl…"
"Jason, we're all set," said Trini in a tone recapturing Jason's attention.
"Rangers, form up. Let's show this dragon some Megazord Power!"
"RIGHT!" chanted the rangers
"Activating Megazord Battle Mode!" Called Jason
"Megazord sequence has been initiated… Megazord activated!" Responded the onboard computer electronic voice of the Zord.
Lightning and energy began to engulf the zords, the Tyrannosaurs immediately went into battle mode giving a Kung Fu salute of shorts as its humanoid appearance seemed to command the other zords where to go. The giant red zord jumped into the air landing its feet inside the Triceratops and Saber Tooth Tiger, then the Mastodon broke into three pieces locking into the Tyrannosaurs' arms and back. Then came the Pterodactyl landing into the front of the zord adding a new chest plate to the Megazord. Finally the tyrannosaurs hid its head into its chest and unlocked another unit much larger than the first. The new head of the zord unlocked its helmet and snapped it open completing the transformation into a Megazord.
A quick teleportation and the ranger were inside the Zord cockpit.
"Alright," sounded Jason. "Status."
"Megazord online, systems operational," Trini nodded.
"Power?" Jason asked
"Power Pods optimal." Trini replied
"Weapons systems ready," Zach checked.
"Scanners up and functional," Billy noted. "Picking up major Morphin Grid energy from the Dragonzord, it's definitely Ranger Tech," he added
"Shields at 100 percent," Substituted Alpha on Kimberly's behalf.
"Let's get to work rangers," nodded Jason.
The Megazord made it's approach toward the Dragonzord, both incredible vessels looking to the other as if they were a pair of samurai preparing to duel to the death.
"It's arming rockets from its fingers!" Billy pointed
Jason turned to Zack. "Mastodon Shield!"
"Right!" Zach nodded
The Megazord began to kneel using the very large Mastodon shield to cover most of its body. From the hands of the Dragonzord fired missiles flying toward the Rangers in the Megazord like fireflies to a light. The blast form the missiles struck at the Megazord's shield huge explosions of fireballs erupting all around. The shield braced most of the attack, but much of the surround buildings were burning from the blast.
The Megazord came back at the Dragonzord firing its own missiles from the Mastodon portion of its armor. The same rockets that were attached to the sides of the Mastodon in its zord mode now turned into mounded shoulder rockets with the Megazord and retaliated.
BOOM!
Great blasts of tremendous explosions struck at the Dragonzord hitting its chest sending the beast down to the floor.
"YA!" the rangers cheered as the giant green zord came crashing down.
"Dragonzord still has lots of fight left in it, its shield are still at 80 percent." Billy noted.
"Power Sword!" Ordered Jason
"I'm on it." Zach responded pressing holographic buttons.
Thunderous roars were heard from the clouds above as the power sword feel from the echoes of the Morphin Grid landing into the ground breaking apart the city streets, windows breaking and shattering from the mere shockwave of the sword's decent.
"Jason, we have to try to push this thing back toward the coast. Much of the city is receiving collateral damage." Trini began to point out.
"You're right, even is the city is uninhabited, we can't risk the soldiers on the ground. We have to push this thing back." Jason responded.
With Tommy and Dex
A jump kick to the chest sent Dex reeling backwards. Tommy followed with a slash from at the chest of Dex from the sword of darkness. Dex recovered quickly standing to his feet drawing up his hands. "You fight me while I am unarmed?" Dex smirked
"Take your fucking sword out and be done with it asshole!" The Green Ranger replied in turn.
"You think I need it?" Dex smiled making his fist
"You will soon enough!" Shouted Tommy as he pressed his attack more.
Dex spun out of the way allowing Tommy to stumble, he began to use the green ranger's momentary disorientation gave him a moment to draw his own weapon. Dex made a quick karate stance and reached directly into his belt buckle. Unlike the power rangers' weapons, Dex's sword was made of pure energy apart from its handle. From his belt buckle appeared the handle of Dex's blade, he reached with his right hand drawing the weapon out energy springing out from the handle forming the blade.
"Sword of Edenoi embrace me," The Masked Rider began to say as the blade emerged from his belt. "Now Tommy, you will know a man who has never tasted defeat!"
"About fucking time," smiled the evil ranger in pleasure!
The two began to duel blades in hand clashing at one another in a battle of speed and wits. Dex clearly took the advantage quickly as his blade sliced with great precision. The Masked Rider slashed across Tommy's chest firing out green and blue energy as the blade scared Tommy's armor. The Green Ranger shot back, falling over to the floor.
Dex stood over Tommy his blade still in hand. "Get up Green Ranger, I am not through yet!"
"I have not yet begun to fight!" Tommy shot up clashing blades again.
With The Zords
"Jason, I'm coming fighter jets! They're making a pass at the Dragonzord!" Billy warned.
"Get them the hell out of there; they don't stand a chance with that thing!" The Red Ranger shouted
"Phantom Squadron to Red Epsilon making a pass at the enemy Zord!"
"Phantom Lead, pull back, do not engage, I say again, do not engage!"
The F-35s flew true, their missiles fired; they hit the Dragonzord with little effect and were subsequently destroyed themselves. It took the Dragonzord a single swing to bring down the first two fighter jet, and a second to destroy the last of them. Fireballs of ash and metal sprinkled all around as the wreckage of the fighter jets fell to the floor.
"Jason…" Trini began to utter in horror. "They're dead…"
"Alpha… mount up, it's time to test this new Megazord! No more people die today."
"Affirmative Jason." Nodded the little droid.
A quick teleportation outside of the Megazord was all it took for the Power Rangers to begin their new Zord formation. "Super Alpha Megazord!" chanted the rangers.
A lone white armored ranger stood atop of the Angel Grove Space Tower. His suit glistening in the morning sun, the Droid Ranger looked as though he was meditating. The robot raised an arm into the air and spoke out only once. "White Ranger Power, Zord mode!"
The white ranger leaped off the edge of the space tower transforming into a huge robot that came chest height to the Megazord. The Zord-state of Alpha V was not unlike his ranger form, looking perfectly identical excluding his much larger size. The Robot leaped into the air and began to break apart into smaller pieces. The power of the Megazord began to magnify as the broken pieces of Alpha began to attack all around it supplementing its already incredible armor. The Megazord began to look fiercer, new white armor attaching to his forearms, shoulders, wrists, chest, and helmet; even the power sword received an upgrade as parts of Alpha encompassed the blade making it even stronger.
"Super Alpha Megazord, Power Up!" the rangers chanted again.
With added power and strength the Alpha Megazord attacked the Dragonzord in full force. The power sword swung at the beast slashing at it striking deep. The eruptions of energy and surges of power rocked the foundations of the city under them. But the zords were not done with their battle. A swing from the Alpha Megazord struck a mark at the Dragonzord's tail slicing it off the beast. A great roar screeched form the creatures voice, glass began to break, shattering windows from the scream of the zord alone. The Rangers pressed the advantage, kicking at the Dragonzord hurtling it backwards as it crashed into the water.
"Jason its retreating!" Zack yelled
"Disengage, we don't want to kill it. Remember, we need that thing!" warned Jason.
With Dex and Tommy:
Another attack came from Dex, Tommy fell back again. "It's over Tommy, the Dragonzord has been pushed back, your armies have failed, and the last beacon of the morphing shield is nearly in play. Zedd has lost!"
"It's never been about Zedd!" Tommy leaped one final time, but Dex struck the green ranger down again, breaking his grip on his own weapon.
"Stop this useless struggle. The fight is over Tommy!"
A voice came from Dex's helmet. "Masked Rider the Last Beacon is teleporting!" Said Zordon.
Dex began to smile. "We have done it!"
On the floor Tommy struggled to get to his feet. "You think it's over?"
"It IS over Tommy. Zedd has lost. I am victorious!" The Masked Rider turned around to catch the teleportation of the last beacon in front of him. He proudly walked to the beacon preparing to activate it. "You see Tommy… good always wins. Always!"
"There is no such thing Dex. No good no evil, just winners and losers."
"That is where you are wrong Tommy. You are beaten, but you are no loser. I have spared your life so that one day you can be redeemed for all the pain you have inflicted to others." Dex spoke calmly as he came to the beacon's controls. "Once this beacon is in place, the invasion will be stopped. Zedd will be forced to leave Earth, and… AARRRGGGHHH!"
The blade came from Dex's back, piercing his chest. The Masked Riders Eyes began to widen, what was happening? He slowly began to turn his head behind him to find Tommy standing there, the hilt of the Sword of Darkness in his hands, the blade perfectly piercing the chest of the Masked Rider. A shocking revelation began to enter Dex's mind, Tommy had been faking his injuries the entire time, he had made the Dex to feel comfortable in the notion that he had been the green ranger, but the truth was the complete opposite! Tommy and driven his sword of darkness strait threw the chest of Dex and was now standing behind him in victory.
"Wrong fucker, you're the loser here… Kamen Rider!" Tommy spoke angrily twisting the blade inside Dex's chest.
Dex desperately reached for the controls of the beacon, if he could activate it still his death would not be in vain, he could still save the Earth… but a second thrust to his gut from the Dragon Flute (dagger) made Dex lose any strength he had left. His arms collapsed to their sides, his body completely motionless. The Masked Rider fell to the ground, bleeding from his wounds, his helmet's eyes blinking red. Dex's held onto his stomach and chest resting his back on the building's edge watching Tommy as he began to walk in front of him taking a knee so that he could look into his eyes.
"Now this looks familiar now doesn't it? This was the exact way I looked when my brother Jason was about to finish me off right before you stopped him." Tommy smiled in satisfaction looking down at the Masked Rider who was slowly dying.
"I- I… spared you…" Dex coughed between words, he could feel his body slowly fading.
"Yes, you did. You saved me from Jason… I bet you're really fucking regretting that decision now huh?"
Dex raised a hand toward the Beacon, as if he still was desperately trying to activate it. "The shield…I- must… I-must… stop… the… invasion…"
Tommy began to smile and gloat. "HA! You and you're the Power Rangers are both so fucking retarded. You think I came here to stop you from activating the morphing shield?" Tommy stood up walking to the beacon. With one finger the Green Ranger began to punch in a few buttons, Dex's eyes began to widen as the Beacon began to activate, spinning letting out huge waves of energy.
"Morphing Shield Activated!" came a robotic voice from the Beacon.
Dex was in complete shock at Tommy's actions, he watched in complete surprise as the Green Ranger again approached him kneeling. "I came here to make sure none of Zedd's fucking lackeys stopped you! Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Dex shook his head in disbelief. "Who… who's side are you on?"
Tommy nodded his head smiled in his helmet. "I'll give you a clue…" the Green Ranger took his dragon flute and buried it deep into the heart of Dex, ending the Masked Rider's life, but not before he spoke to words to him finishing his earlier statement. "…not yours!"
Dex's head bobbed forward letting out one final word. "…Edenoi…"
Tommy pulled his blade out of the masked rider's heart and lifted it up to his mouth piece. He blew the flute commanding the Dragonzord to retreat, the song playing aloud. After a short note from his flute he reached to the side of his helmet. "Green Ranger to all Zedd Imperial Forces, our work is done. Fall back! Mission accomplished." A beam of green energy enveloped Tommy as he disappeared.
With the Megazord:
"Jason, we're getting reports from all fronts, Zedd's forces are in full retreat!" Trini called out in excitement.
"Scanners are picking up huge energy signatures from the morphing shield! We did it!" Billy happily reported
Zach began to lean back on his seat placing his hands behind his head. "Chock one up for the good guys!"
"I can't believe it! Well done Rangers! Well Done!" Jason smiled
Suddenly a colder tone began to strike at the Rangers, as Trini looked on at her sensors. She counted five blips, not six… was it a mistake? What was wrong? "Jason…" Trini uttered in growing fear.
"What is it?" He asked plainly.
"I'm not picking up Dex's vitals…" she responded in great worry.
Jason reached to the side of his helmet. "Red Ranger to Masked Rider, come in Masked Rider…" The air was silent, the Rangers all began to focus on their radios. "Red Ranger to Masked Rider, please respond!" Jason looked to Trini in dread. "He's not answering…"
Trini began to reach for her com-link. "Dex… it's Trini… are you there? Dex…"
"We have to get to the Observatory!" Jason shouted…
The Observatory:
Not a minute had even passed as the 5 five rangers, Alpha included as he was no longer in zord mode sprang to the scene. They looked all around them, then suddenly Jason spotted him. "Rangers!" Jason kneeled by the Masked Rider, looking on at him, even before Jason had reached him he already knew what had happened. The other rangers began to approach. "Trini, Alpha, stay back…"
Trini and Alpha both began to pause a moment. "No…" Alpha uttered.
"Jason…" Trini shook her head falling to her knees.
"Oh man…" Zach and Billy both began to kneel by Dex's side. "Is he?"
Billy held two fingers to the Masked Rider's neck. Even though Dex was wearing armor, the rangers sensors could still pick up his vitals. "He's gone…" Billy regretfully stated.
"How can that be?" Trini sobbed.
"No, NO you're lying!" Alpha shouted running to Dex's side embracing him. "Liars!"
"Alpha… he's" Billy tried to reason with the robot but Alpha knocked Billy back with his arm.
"LIARS!" the droid shouted. "LIARS! Wake up Dex… wake up!"
Trini ran to Jason's arms holding him tightly. "Oh God… Jason… Dex… he's…"
"The shield is activated… he must have given his life to do it…" Zach stated rubbing Alpha's back.
"Oh DEX! DEX!" Had Alpha had the ability to cry he would have been, but the cruelty of fate did not give the droid that luxury. "NO!"
Trini continued to cry, she had hardly known Dex, but in the short time of their friendship, she had come to greatly admire him. "Jason… he's gone…"
"I know Trini… I know…" Jason comforted her.
Dee Dee Beep Beep Dee Dee
The rangers all looked startled at the strange sound of their communicators going off. What was going on? Why would Zordon be calling now? Seeing that Jason was occupied, and Zach was comforting Alpha, Billy began to answer. "Come in Zordon."
"Rangers… the invasion has begun!" Zordon spoke plainly.
"That's impossible! Zordon the morphing shield is active! Zordon!" Billy spoke in confusion, the ranger attention all began to look at him.
"Come in Zordon!" Jason demanded from his communicator. "Zordon come in!" The communicators feel silent. "Damn you Zordon! Answer me!"
"What's going on?" Zach asked
"What does he mean by the invasion has begun?" Jason demanded to know.
Suddenly the sound of a thousand slave ships and transports began to fill the skies, roaring all around them. The Rangers looked up, their eyes focused on the sky, the morphing shield had failed… the invasion had begun!
