*Today on Power Rangers Lightning Orb, as the kids find out the mayor wants to award the Power Rangers the Key to the City, for bringing back the four original missing people, trouble brews. Dillon, possessed, still by King Orderly, has found the Dark Sword and uses it against the rangers. He creates a monster to destroy them. Will the rangers defeat this new threat? Find out next.*

THE DARK SWORD

Michael found himself walking in the desert, near Old Man Murphy's Mine. For some reason, he wanted to check on his Black Tiger Darkening Orb Zord. He still couldn't believe he was actually a Power Ranger. Also, he was finally free from Dark Orb's grasp and he loved the freedom. It was a beautiful night. He came closer to the mine and there he saw the entrance. He went in and saw an opening in one of the cave's walls. There were stairs leading downward. He knew that this would lead him to his Zord. The stairs lead down to a huge room. He could see piles of rocks everywhere and knew this was the place his brother and friends defeated creatures. He pressed on and saw a huge door. It started to open up and he saw an even bigger room. In the corner was his Zord. The Zord looked perfectly alright. Also, in the room he saw the Gold Eagle Darkening Orb Zord. They both looked perfectly still. He was about to go back, when he saw the Purple Disk where Deanna received her Purple Lightning Sphere. He went over and touched it. The disk started to glow and a black ring rose, surrounding the Purple Disk and him. He started to get frighten, but soon heard a calming voice.

"Michael, do not be afraid," the voice called out.

"Who are you?" Michael asked, still afraid.

The black disk started to glow in a black light sort of way and Michael disappeared. When he reappeared, he was deeper underground and was standing in front of a bird with black sparkling eyes. It was King Chaos. He was everything that his brother and friends said. He had a gold crown on his head and wore royal attire.

"Greetings, my grandson," King Chaos said, smiling, "I am King Chaos. I'm sorry, but we don't have much time. My brother has discovered the Dark Sword."

"The Dark Sword?" Michael questioned.

"Yes, it is a very powerful Twinettian sword, just as powerful as Drinaria's Sword of Light," King Chaos explained, "King Orderly will use that sword to destroy all of you. You see, the sword can only be used by the Twinettians who find their power more with the Darkening Orb. You, your father, and I are the only three who can use the sword."

"So how can King Orderly use it?" Michael asked.

"If the sword touches a Twinettian powered more by the Lightning Orb, they will surely die," King Chaos said, "but if an Earthling should touch it, the sword's dark powers will consume them into a terrible monster. King Orderly is planning to do that, and with that monster, he will destroy the Power Rangers."

"How can we stop him?" Michael asked.

"You are the only one who can get the sword," King Chaos said, and then vanished.

"But how?" Michael asked, looking to the sky, wondering where his grandfather went to, but there was no response.

Michael noticed a large stone. He also noticed a hole in the stone, where a sword could fit. He decided he would try and see if his sword fit.

"Darkening Orb, Ranger Power!" Michael shouted, "Black Darkening Power!"

The orb rose to the sky. Michael's orb produced a dark cloud, which covered him. Rays of light shone from the cloud and when the cloud had disappeared, Michael was in his suits

"Weapons!" he called out and soon he was holding his sword and shield.

He raised his sword and tried placing it in the hole. The sword was a little too small for the hole and nothing happened. He took the sword out and wondered how to get out of the place, since there were no doors leading out. Soon, he disappeared back where the Purple Disk was with the black ring around it. He jumped over the ring and then went back up to the surface. When he got out of the mine, he saw the Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord fighting Ecliptor.

"How can this be?" Michael asked himself, "I thought Ecliptor was dead."

He noticed that the Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord was losing, and Ecliptor, with his sword, sliced the Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord down in half. The two halves burst into flames, one a white color and one a black color. After doing this, Ecliptor turned toward Michael.

"Use the power of my name," he said and blasted a ray at Michael.

Michael woke up in a cold sweat. It was all a dream. It was so real though. He had to tell the others. After that, he couldn't go back to sleep.

-

The next day, all of Angel Grove High was excited. Kerri thought this had to do with them helping Michael, Fred, Wes, and Sara become free from their monsters. She was right, because Deanna, along with Spencer, Mason, and Callum came rushing in with a newspaper. They looked very excited.

"What's with the excitement?" Kerri asked.

"There is an article in the paper about the Power Rangers," Callum said.

"What does it say?" Kerri asked.

"It says the mayor cannot thank the Power Rangers enough for protecting the city," Deanna starts, "and the mayor wants to throw a party in their honor on the historical day, Power Rangers Day. He also wants to give the Keys to the City to the Power Rangers."

"I'm sure the Power Rangers will show up," Callum said, smiling.

Over in the distance they saw Michael and Jacob talking to one another. Callum wanted to know what they were talking about, but Mason told him it was probably brother stuff and that it was none of his business. To the looks of it, it didn't look like a very good conversation. Michael looked as though he hadn't slept all night, which was true, and Jacob wasn't in good spirits either. After all, his adopted brother had been possessed by their great uncle, King Orderly.

Spencer, Deanna, Kerri, Mason, and Callum all went over to see what the matter was. In a low whisper, Michael told the five of them, what he told Jacob. He told them he had a dream about King Chaos and talked to them about the Dark Sword. Both Jacob and Michael knew about what the mayor had said in the newspaper and was happy, but they had bigger things to worry about.

Later that day, they met up with Wes, Sara, and Fred. The school board said that Wes, Sara, and Michael could have a free tutor to catch them up with what they missed in high school, so they aren't too far behind. The Dean of Students at the Angel Grove University told Fred that they will not charge him for two years, so he could also catch up without paying extra money. The whole city of Angel Grove was happy to see the four of them back and well.

All ten of them teleported to the Power Chamber. There they saw Prince Light and Prince Dark working together to try and find a way to bring back Dillon as well as Frankie, Chip, and Birdie.

"Any luck?" Jacob asked.

"No, I'm afraid not," Prince Light said, shaking his head.

"Our uncle has a force field around them or something," Prince Dark said.

"Well, Michael has something to tell you," Jacob said.

Michael told them he had a dream about King Chaos and how his grandfather told him about the Dark Sword. Michael informed them that he saw Ecliptor and told them Eclipor told him to use the power of his name.

"Well just like your brother Jacob can see into the future," Prince Dark said, "you can see into the future as well."

"So you're saying we're going to have to fight Ecilptor?" Michael asked.

"No, he's long gone," Prince Light said, "Michael, when you see the future, it is not shown clearly as when Jacob sees it. You need to figure out the meaning behind seeing Ecliptor and what he said."

"That's just great!" Michael said rolling his eyes.

"You'll find out the meaning of what you saw," Jacob said, reassuring his brother.

They saw in the corner Chase. He was busy working on his device that was around his arm. He had been busy with it for days and didn't really acknowledge that the rangers were there. Callum wondered what he was doing as well as the others, but they didn't say anything because he was very busy at working at whatever he was doing.

"Rangers," Gadget came out of a separate room, "It is time to put the Lightning Orb and the Darkening Orb back together again."

They all went into the room and saw the two orbs sitting side by side, next to each other. Gadget told Jacob to grab the Lightning Orb and told Michael to grab the Darkening Orb. When the two grabbed the orbs, the orbs started to glow and moved together to form one orb. It was glowing bright. They had finally put the Prismatic Orb back together again.

"Rangers," Prince Dark said, "you now are known as the Prismatic Orb Rangers."

"Awesome!" Spencer said.

"Do we still have to call out "Lightning Orb, Ranger Power!"?" Callum asked.

"Yes, since you, along with Jacob, Mason, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna get your power form the Lightning Orb," Prince Dark said, "and Michael, Fred, Wes, and Sara, get their powers from the Darkening Orb."

"Okay, I was just asking," Callum said.

They all looked at Callum, rolling their eyes.

-

Deep underground, Dillon, possessed by King Orderly, was looking through the mirror that his nephew was once in. He knew that it was time for him to get the Dark Sword. He knew where it was, since his brother, King Chaos told him. Also, he knew that the Prismatic Orb was back and he needed to get more power. He went to the chamber where Frankie, Chip, Birdie, and Katie were. The Red Fog was still around them. Frankie, Chip, and Birdie weren't ready yet to do his bidding. He glanced at Katie, smiled, and walked back to the mirror.

"I need someone to use the Dark Sword," he said, looking in the mirror.

Soon, he saw a young man, unpacking boxes and putting them into a house. He knew that this person would be the one. He raised his hand and a red beam came out, and went through the mirror. The red beam covered the young man and he disappeared. When he reappeared he was standing next to Dillon. The young man was terrified.

"Who are you?" he asked, "Where am I?"

"It's no concern to you," Dillon said, with his eyes glowing red.

Dillon's eyes turning red, was affecting the young man. He was in pain, dropping to the ground. Soon, he raised his head toward Dillon and his eyes starting glowing red too. It was as if Dillon used a mind control through his eyes to the young man. The young man stood up and bowed to his new master. Dillon started smiling and told the young man to follow him. They both disappeared and appeared just outside right by the Sentinel Statue where Lord Zedd created Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel. Dillon raised his hands and the statue of the fist raised up. The pillar rose up to the sky and soon Dillon and the young man saw a glowing sword placed inside a glass case.

"The Dark Sword," Dillon said, with his eyes glowing red, again, "I want you to grab the sword."

"Yes master," the young man said, opening the glass case and grabbing the sword.

His eyes starting glowing red again, and he wasn't in Dillon's control anymore. He wanted to know where he was, but the sword started glowing some more and covered him with a black light effect. The sword started producing a black goo, just like in Spider-Man 3, when Eddie Brock Jr. was transforming into Venom. It was like that. They young man was terrified but soon his eyes were pitch black and he was back in Dillon's control. The creature standing next to Dillon looked sort of like Venom when he was talking to Peter Parker and Sandman. Soon the creature received armor.

"Now, you are filled with the darkness of the sword," Dillon said, "I want you to go out and destroy the Power Rangers."

"Yes, master," the creature said, bowing his head.

-

The next day, a crowd built up in Angel Grove Park. There were pictures of the Power Rangers from 1993 all the way up to the present, which was twenty years (Remember this is taking place in 2013). Everyone was so excited to see the Power Rangers. People were talking with each other saying how they were a Darkening Bird or how they were a monster and the Power Rangers rescued them. All ten rangers were there as well, but not morphed. They couldn't believe all these people were waiting to see them. They could only imagine what the original Power Rangers were feeling and thinking when crowds of people came to see them twenty years ago. They were going to morph when two guys came their way. They looked like brothers. They both had dirty blond hair. They looked lost and confused so the rangers decided to go help them.

"Can we help you?" Jacob asked, coming up to them both.

"Yeah, we just moved here yesterday," the older one said, "What's going on here?"

"Well the mayor is going to give the Keys to the City to the Power Rangers," Kerri said, smiling.

"The Power who?" the youngest one asked.

"Forgive us, we just moved here from Kansas," the oldest one said, "My name is Ricky and this is my brother, Blake."

"Hi, I'm Jacob," he said, "and these are my friends, Mason, Callum, Spencer, Kerri, Deanna, Sara, Wes, Fred, and my Michael (He didn't want to add any suspicion by calling Michael his brother)."

He pointed to each one when he said their names.

"So you really don't know who the Power Rangers are?" Kerri asked.

"No Kerri, we don't," Ryan said, "We lived on a farm without a TV or radio."

"The Power Rangers are..." Kerri started to say, when they all heard an explosion.

The explosion made people scream and run around in panic. In the distance they saw a creature coming their way. His eyes were pitch black and he was pointing his sword toward the Power Rangers.

"Ryan and Blake, get out of here," Jacob commanded.

"Why? What are you going to do?" Ricky asked, knowing exactly why he told them to leave.

"We're going to get the Power Rangers," Jacob said, "Now go!"

The crowd had all ran away and were on the other side of the park. Blake and Ricky ran too, but they didn't go that far. Both boys hid in some bushes, making it look like they had gone away.

"I want to see who these Power Rangers are," Ricky said, whispering to his brother.

"I'm with you," Blake said.

"I think that creature won't spot us hiding in these bushes," Ricky said.

"I hope you're right," Blake said.

The creature raised up his sword and a blast of energy came down at the rangers. They all moved out of the way in time. Jacob looked at the others and knew it was time to go to work.

"Lightning Orb,Ranger Power!" Jacob, Mason, Callum, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna shouted.

"Red Lightning Power!" Jacob shouted.

"Orange Lightning Power!" Mason called out.

"Yellow Lightning Power!" Callum yelled.

"Green Lightning Power!" Spencer called out.

"Blue Lightning Power!" Kerri yelled.

"Purple Lightning Power!" Deanna shouted.

The orbs around their necks started to glow and light shined all around them, giving them their suits. Michael, Fred, Sara, and Wes knew it was their turn.

"Darkening Orb,RangerPower!" the four of them shouted.

"White Darkening Power!" Sara called out.

"Silver Darkening Power!" Wes shouted.

"Gold Darkening Power!" Fred yelled.

"Black Darkening Power!" Michael shouted.

Their orbs started to glow and come off. The orbs rose to the sky. Each orb produced a dark cloud, which covered the ranger. Rays of light shone from the cloud and when the cloud had disappeared, the rangers were in their suits. Blake and Ricky couldn't believe their eyes of what they saw. They were so confused as to why they lied to them saying they were going to get the Power Rangers when they are the rangers. They wanted to say something but they just watched.

The ten rangers surrounded the creature. Jacob wasn't really picking up any auras from the creature. It was as if his aura power had stopped working again. The creature raised up his sword and ten massive beams of dark energy came to the rangers and they all fell to the ground.

"We haven't even begun fighting this creature and all ready he has managed to knock us to the ground," Spencer said, stating the obvious.

"I think we need to bring our weapons together," Mason said.

"I agree," Jacob said.

"Weapons!" Jacob, Mason, Callum, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna shouted.

"Let's bring them together!" Jacob shouted.

Michael, Fred, Sara, and Wes just watched in amazement.

"Green Crossbow!" Spencer shouted, throwing his two-handed crossbow to the sky.

"Purple Jet Pack!" Deanna shouted, throwing two of her missals from her jet pack, letting them attach to the top middle of the Green Crossbow.

"Orange Bow!" Mason shouted, having his bow come apart in two pieces and throwing them up, making one half attach to one side of the crossbow and making the other half attack to the other side.

"Yellow Twin Axes!" Callum shouted, throwing his twin axes up to the crossbow, making the sharp sides face toward the trigger. One twin ax went next to one half of the bow and the other twin ax went to the other side.

"Blue Bracelets!" Kerri shouted, throwing her bracelets up having them attach to the two missals.

"Red Sword!" Jacob said, rising up to the combined weapons and placing his sword sideways in between the missals creating the Lightning Orb Mega Blaster.

They fired at the creature but the creature used the sword and reflected the blast back to the rangers. All ten of them fell to the ground, again. He was too powerful for them.

"I think we need more power," Jacob said, trying to get up.

"I agree with you on that," Callum said, getting up.

All the rangers got up again.

"Lightning Orb, power usup!" Jacob, Mason, Callum, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna said.

Their orbs started to glow and their suits started to shine. Their orbs glowed their bright colors and the picture of their Zords appeared. Instead of just the dragon head, it was a whole dragon. On Mason's it was a Salamander. Callum received a Cheetah. Spencer got a Shark. Kerri's picture was a Dolphin. Deanna received a Parrot. Their helmets received virtual reality visors. Also, their white strip, going down the left and right pant leg started to glow and kept on glowing, along with the orb. Michael and the other three saw how powerful the other rangers looked and thought they should give it a try.

"Darkening Orb, powerus up!" Sara, Wes, Fred, and Michael shouted.

Their orbs started to glow and a whirlwind of dark colors went around them. When the dark colors had faded, their orbs were all glowing their respective colors. Sara had a picture of her Lion Zord on her orb. Wes had a picture of his Turtle Zord. Fred had a picture of his Eagle Zord on his orb, while Michael had a picture of his Tiger Zord on his orb. Their suits were shiny and they too had virtual reality visors on their helmets. Their orbs were glowing. As for their black strip on their pant legs, it was glowing a black light color.

"Let's get this creep!" Fred said, jumping up and kicking the creature. He felt so much power rush right into him, it was incredible.

As Fred kicked the creature to the ground, Jacob started to see auras around him. The auras were black with a red fog color around him. Jacob could also see a young man hovering inside the creature, but could see that his arms and legs were tied with the black goo that was around the creature. Jacob mentioned this to the others and they were surprised.

"Let me have a go with the creature," Wes said, touching his orb, "Weapon!"

His Double Edge Two Toned Ax appeared and without delay he raised it up. There was a small silver crystal on top. It started to glow. Soon the whole ax did. He ran toward the creature, making a silver "X" with moving the ax. The silver "X" blasted its way to creature causing it to fall to the ground, but soon the creature got back up.

"Man, this guy is tough!" Wes said.

"Dad!" Jacob shouted in the communicator, "How do we destroy this thing?"

"Michael is the only one to get the sword away from the creature," Prince Dark said, "The sword is the Dark Sword. Once Michael grabs on to it, you both need to use your swords to destroy the darkness."

"That shouldn't be too hard," Michael said, touching his orb, "Weapons!"

Michael remembered what King Chaos told him in his dream.

Michael's sword and shield came into his hands. A sword fight came as Michael started going after the creature. Michael was reaching down in the depths of him to use every last strength he had in fighting this creature. When Michael had an opportunity, he raised his sword. The sword started to glow black. He held out his shield and placed his sword in front of the shield, holding both. The shield started to get the energy and power from the sword and started glowing black. He brought down his sword and the burst of energy from the shield came upon the creature. The blast went through the creature causing it to let go of the Dark Sword making it fly out of the creature's hand.

"I've got it!" Callum shouted, but Michael quickly jumped up and grabbed the sword.

"No, I've got it!" Michael said, coming down from the sky, "Callum, if you had touched the sword, you would have been turned into a creature like this."

"All right, let's get rid of this evil," Jacob said, holding out his hand, "Sword of Light!"

A bright light flashed and Jacob was holding the Sword of Light in his hands. Michael was holding the Dark Sword. Together, they raised up their swords and something incredible happened. Lightning struck both at the Sword of Light and the Dark Sword. Both swords started to glow and in the process made Jacob and Michael glow. All of a sudden, both Michael and Jacob started changing. Their vests shattered and they each received golden vests. On their arms, they received two arm bracelets for each arm and on their legs, they received two leg bracelets for each leg. On their vest they had one big orb with ten little orbs all around it. This time, all ten little orbs were lite up in ten different colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, silver, gold, black. Jacob's large orb was bright red and Michael's large orb was black. In the back of them, there were wings. Their visor helmets got more digital. They looked incredible.

"Wow!" Blake said, looking at Jacob and Michael in their new suits.

Both Blake and Ricky were still hiding in the bushes. So far, no one was noticing them.

"It's time to end this," Michael said.

"I agree with you brother," Jacob said.

Both boys started to fly in the air. The other rangers didn't have to say a word. They could feel their power was going to the two boys. Michael and Jacob both raised up their swords. Jacob's sword was turning a glowing white, along with his vest and the bracelets around his arms and legs. Michael's sword was glowing a black light color, along with his vest and bracelets around his arms and legs. Both boys started to fly down to the monster.

"Double Slash!" both boys shouted out.

Michael and Jacob were coming close to the creature. They both had their swords raised. Michael began to glow a bright light all over and Jacob was covered in a black light. Both boys took their swords and slashed right into the creature. After slicing the creature, one half of the creature turned to a bright white light, while the other side was a black light color. The creature fell to the ground and exploded. When the smoke had cleared, their was a young man laying on the ground. The Power Rangers went over to see if he was all right. That's when Blake and Ricky popped out of the bushes.

"You lied to us," Ricky said, not caring that the Power Rangers saved all of Angel Grove again, including themselves.

"I have to admit those are incredible powers," Blake said.

"You two?" Jacob asked, powering down from the Sword of Light into his regular Red Ranger suit.

"I thought we told you guys to leave," Spencer said, "It was very dangerous for you guys to have been so near."

"Why did you lie to us?" Ricky asked, not even paying attention to what Spencer was saying.

"We didn't want to put you in danger, like it has been for everyone we know who knows our identities," Jacob said.

Before Ricky or Blake could say anything, the young man woke up. He slowly got up rubbing his head.

"What happened?" the young man asked, in a British accent.

"You are safe now," Kerri said, finding this young man very attractive.

"Who are you people?" the young man asked.

"We're the Power Rangers," Fred said, "You were under the influence of King Orderly and the Dark Sword."

"You freed me?" the young man asked, seeming that all he could do was ask questions.

"Yes," Michael said.

"Thanks mate," the young man said, "My name is Steven O'Brien, but you can call me Ste. I just moved here with my mom and pop from London."

Ricky and Blake were about to say something when a flash of light came and standing before them was Dillon, possessed by King Orderly. Ste pointed out, saying, that was the guy who turned him evil. Ricky and Blake looked at Ste very strangely and then looked at Dillon. Dillon's eyes started to glow red and both Ricky and Blake started going toward the Power Rangers, but it was too late, Dillon raised his hand and the Red Fog covered both Blake and Ricky transforming them into monsters. The two monsters looked like two wolves. They each had a suit on them. Their eyes were beaming red. The monster that took over Ricky had a white scar-like slash over his right eye. The monster that took over Blake had a white scar-like slash over his left eye. Dillon wasn't done yet. Before, he left, he raised his hand again and made the two monsters grow. Dillon then vanished.

"Who was that?" Ste asked.

"Never mind, right now," Deanna said, "You need to go to a safe spot."

Just then, a storm approached and down came Darkening Birds, but these birds were different. They were all red, instead of black. They were surrounding the rangers and Ste.

"You, Fred, Sara, and Wes, take care of these new Darkening Birds," Jacob said, talking to Michael, "while we take care of the two wolf monsters."

"You got it!" Michael said, "Ste, stay close to us."

Michael, Sara, Fred, and Wes started fighting the new Darkening Birds.

"We need Lightning Orb Zords, now!" Jacob shouted, raising his hand to the sky.

The abandoned field opened up and their six Zords came out. Jacob went into his Red Dragon Zord and activated it. Mason went into his Orange Salamander Zord and activated it. Callum jumped into his Yellow Cheetah Zord and started it up, by putting his Yellow Orb where it needed to be. Spencer jumped into his Green Shark Zord. Kerri jumped into her Blue Dolphin Zord. Deanna went into her Purple Parrot Zord and all of them activated them.

They all wanted the Zords to transform into the Lightning Orb Megazord, right away. They placed their orbs in the tube. As always the Red Dragon Zord's hands went into its body, while the shoulder blades came together. The tail came off. The Shark and Dolphin Zords became legs and feet and hooked in place with the Red Dragon Zord. The Salamander and Cheetah's tails folded up and the legs went inside the Zords. Their heads rotated and out popped hands. They snapped on to the Red Dragon Zord. The Purple Parrot Zord disconnected with itself, causing the chest to the level with the head and wings. The Red Dragon Zord's head went down into a secret compartment and the Purple Parrot Zord fit in its place. The chest snapped on the Red Dragon Zord's chest, forming like a shield for the Zord. The wings snapped in the back of the Red Dragon Zord's body and the Parrot's head opened up to reveal the Megazord's face. The Lightning Orb Megazord was up and running.

The two wolf monsters came running at the Lightning Orb Megazord. With their fists, they punched the Megazord causing it to step back. A few sparks flew out but the Megazord regain its posher and came at the wolves punching them back. The wolves flew through the air and landed on their backs. The rangers then got the Sword of Light and the Lightning Sword. The two wolf creatures got up and had weapons of their own. A red cloud came around them and they both had two swords. That was four swords against two. The wolf creatures came running at the Lightning Orb Megazord striking it with full force from their swords.

"We are losing power," Kerri said.

"I'm losing controls," Mason said, trying to figure out the problem.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Michael, Fred, Wes, and Sara had surrounded Ste, creating a human shield. The new Darkening Birds were coming at the four rangers but the four of them were handling it very well. Even though the Darkening Birds were red, they were still regular Darkening Birds. Michael jumped up and kicked two of them, sending them flying to a wall. They soon went into a cloud of red smoke and two crows flew away.

"Ran out of people King Orderly?" Michael asked, smiling.

Sara was fighting one Darkening Bird. The Darkening Bird tackled her to the ground, but she found strength to get up and push the Darkening Bird, sending it flying in the air. She then called for her weapon and fired an arrow at the Darkening Bird. As the arrow was flying it turned white and hit the Darkening Bird causing it to burst into a cloud of red smoke. A crow flew away. Wes had his weapon out, and was slicing the Darkening Birds one by one with his Double Edge Two Toned Ax. The Darkening Birds were all destroyed from his end. Fred, went to call forth his weapon, but couldn't. He was surprised, that he couldn't get his weapon. He immediately started kicking and punching the Darkening Birds, until they all turned into a cloud of red smoke and crows flew away. All the Darkening Birds were gone.

"That was odd," Michael said looking toward Fred, "Well at least they are gone."

"Are you all right, Ste," Sara asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Ste said, "I think you need to help your friends, though."

They saw the two wolf creatures slashed at the Lightning Orb Megazord and made it fall to the ground.

"We need to help them," Wes said, stating the obvious.

"You guys go help them," Michael said, "I have to do something."

Michael ran off leaving Sara, Wes, and Fred confused. They didn't know what to do but call on their Zords. Like before the Forrest of Light opened up and a secret compartment near Old Man Murphy's Mine opened up and the three Zords popped out. Sara went up and activated her Zord, the White Lion Darkening Zord. Wes jumped up in his Zord and activated the Silver Turtle Darkening Orb Zord. Fred jumped up and activated his Gold Eagle Darkening Orb Zord. The Lightning Orb Megazord was on the ground. One of the wolf creatures was over it, ready to strike, when laser beams came at the wolf, knocking him to the ground.

"Thanks Wes," Jacob said, getting the Megazord back on its feet.

"Anytime buddy," Wes said, waving.

"Where's Michael?" Jacob asked, looking around for the Black Tiger Darkening Orb Zord.

"He said he had to do something," Fred said, soaring in and knocking the other wolf creature to the ground.

"Had to do what?" Callum asked.

"Well, whatever it is, I'm guessing it's important," Jacob said, slashing one of the wolves before it had a chance to get up.

The other wolf quickly got up and threw its two swords at Sara's Zord, causing it to fall on its backside.

"I hope Michael comes back soon," Sara said, getting her Zord back on its feet.

-

Michael was back where he was in his dream. He was below Old Man Murphy's Mine. There he saw the Purple Disk, and just like in his dream, he saw a Black Ring around the Purple Disk. He went inside the ring and all of a sudden, he was transported to a room below the floor above. There, he saw the place to slide a sword in. He went over, hoping that the Dark Sword was the right sword and he put the sword into the key-like hole. Soon, the sword started to glow. The room started to shake and Michael, along with his sword were transported back to the surface. There he saw the ground opening up and a huge black-colored sword was coming out.

"Wow!" Michael said, "It's a giant Dark Sword. That's what our grandfather was showing me."

"Michael, cool sword, but we could use your help here," Jacob said, as the Lightning Orb Megazord fell to the ground.

"Sure thing," Michael said, raising his hand to the sky, "I call forth the Black Tiger Darkening Orb Zord!"

Soon the ground near Old Man Murphy's Mine opened up and out popped Michael's Zord. He went in it and activated it. The Lightning Orb Megazord was about to grab the Dark Sword, when Michael stopped it and said, the same rules apply where his Zord is the only one to touch it.

"How are you going to do that?" Callum asked, "You're just a tiger."

Just then, Michael's computer screen came up where his Black Tiger Darkening Orb Zord has a warrior mode. He thought it was so cool and put in the controls to change into warrior mode. Just like the Tiger Zord in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Black Tiger transformed the same way, with the head popping out and the tiger head on it's chest. The only difference was, the tail went into the body. The Black Tiger Darkening Orb Zord Warrior Mode was ready to go.

"My computer is telling me the same thing," Sara said, looking at the screen for her white lion.

Again, just like the White Tiger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, it transformed. The tail went in the body, just like the Black Tiger. It was so cool. Now there were three fighting two; better odds in their favor. The Black Tiger walked over to one of the wolves and slashed him with the Dark Sword. A burst of energy came forth and knocked the wolf to the ground. The White Lion let out a burst of white laser beams at the other wolf, sending it flying back. The Lightning Megazord saw it was a perfect opportunity so the Lightning Orb Megazord raised up the Lightning Sword and the Sword of Light. The Megazord's eyes, orb on its chest and swords started to glow. Fire was in the background. The Megazord placed the two swords together like an "X". The orb on the chest started to burst into colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The swords did the same and with one good motion, the Megazord let go of the swords causing a burst of rainbow energy at the wolves. One of the wolves was in the direct line of fire and sparks started to fly out of the wolf as it hit the ground in a huge explosion.

"Yes, we got one!" Spencer shouted.

"Should we use the Ultra Zord for the last one?" Jacob suggested.

Just then, Michael remembered his dream where Ecliptor told him to use the power of his name. Michael, then told Jacob he had a better idea and all of a sudden, it showed up on everyone's computer screen. Jacob saw it was a good idea and so they went with it. The Lightning Orb Megazord jumped up. The Purple Parrot Lightning Orb Zord's wings disconnected with the Megazord. The Gold Eagle Darkening Orb Zord flew it and connected to the back of the Lightning Orb Megazord just like the Falcon did with the Ninja Megazord. The only difference is that on the bottom of the wings, there were two golden orbs. The Purple Parrot Lightning Orb Zord's wings hooked on to the Gold Eagle Darkening Orb Zord. The Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord was up and running.

Soon the Silver Turtle Darkening Orb Zord started to move upward, bringing his shell up behind the Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord. The White Lion Darkening Orb Zord Warrior Mode was tossed the Sword of Light. Both the White Lion and the Black Tiger raised up the swords (the Sword of Light and the Dark Sword). Lightning hit both swords and the Sword of Light started glowing bright white and the Dark Sword was starting to glow a black light color. The energy from the sword manifested its way to the two orbs on the Gold Eagle's wings. One side started to glow bright white, while the other grew pitch black.

The Light and Dark Mega Eagle Zord's eyes started to flash as two energy balls came out of the two orbs; one white and one black. Behind them, the Silver Turtle started to glow. The two orbs came together as an eclipse. The glowing white orb was in the back where the pitch black orb was in the front.

"You had it creep!" Jacob said.

"TotalEclipse Strike!" all ten rangers shouted.

The Eclipse orb flew toward the other wolf. The wolf didn't have time to react as the orb went right in him. The wolf started to glow bright white and then pitch black. It did that for a few times until it came crashing to the ground in a huge explosion. The rangers did it; they destroyed the two wolves. They all came down from their Zords to check on Ricky and Blake.

"You saved us," Blake said, getting up.

"Thank you Power Rangers," Ricky said, "and we now know why you like to keep your identity a secret."

"We won't tell anyone," Blake said.

As both boys were giving high fives to the Power Rangers, people started to gather and cheer for the Power Rangers. Ricky and Blake started up cheering for them as well. It looked like most of Angel Grove was there to welcome the Power Rangers. Ste came back to cheer for the Power Rangers. The rangers' family members were there as well. The mayor went up to microphone and started talking.

"Attention everyone," the mayor said, "Let's make room for the Power Rangers to come up to the stage."

All ten Power Rangers made there way to the stage. Adam, Tanya and Justin were even there, cheering the Power Rangers on. Some kids were talking amongst themselves.

"I didn't know there were ten rangers?" one kid asked, "That is so cool!"

"I want to be a Power Ranger when I grow up," another kid said, getting a high five from all the Power Rangers.

"What can I say?" the mayor started again, as all ten rangers made it on stage, "Two years ago, trouble started back up here at Angel Grove and the Power Rangers came to the rescue. For their bravery and putting their lives on the line countless of times, I'd like to give the Power Rangers the Key to the City. You ten will always be welcomed here."

The mayor gave Jacob what looked like a huge gold key. He raised it up and everyone started cheering.

"We're going to save you Dillon, Frankie, Chip, and Birdie," he said.
