"Zeke?" JT spoke.
Tears forming in the ranger's eyes.
Ezekiel smirked, "I was sent to protect you and I did. I did my best," He coughed up blood, "Now you must do your part."
Andi was sobbing into Garry, she held onto him. Garry tried to keep a brave face but was crying. Lilly cried into Drew's shoulder, as he cried as well. JT and Clyde sat by each other as they sobbed.
"Be brave, be strong, be hunter." Ezekiel said.
They hear Ezekiel's breathes get shallow and shallow until the breathes stopped. The rangers were stunned and then the body of the angel turned white and faded away. They all sat there, sobbing and were besides themselves. The rangers hear someone walking over, it was Lucifer.
"Heh, he can't protect you now." Lucifer grins.
"You killed him," JT spatted as he stood up, "And you'll pay for that!"
The rangers grabbed their morphers and stood up with JT.
"Hunters Rise! Power Rangers!" The six shout.
-Now-
All six rangers charged at Lucifer. Drew slashed his blade at the devil, who only dodged the attack and threw the Purple Ranger back. Drew rolled on the ground, but stumbled to stand to return to the fight. Andi charged in with Clyde behind her, Andi slashed her dual blades at the devil.
Lucifer dodged her attacks, "You'll have to do better than that,"
Clyde slammed his hammer on the ground. The ground shook and Lucifer stumbled slightly, which then made it easy for Lilly. She reached into her quiver and launched an arrow at the demon. The arrow entered through his shoulder, the devil hissed in pain and looked from the wound to the White Ranger.
"Now," Lucifer ripped the arrow out, "I'm pissed."
Lucifer charged in quickly. He slashed his own blade at Lilly, which quickly sent her to power down and rolled on the ground. Lucifer charged at Andi, but Garry jumped in the way to protect him. No matter, though, Lucifer slashed his blade at the couple. Causing Andi and Garry to both power down, and fall on the ground. Clyde didn't notice the devil from behind and was slashed by the blade as well.
JT and Drew stood now.
"Well," Lucifer turns to Drew, "You can end this, Andrew."
Drew swallowed his nerves.
"Just say yes." Lucifer said.
Andi lifted her head, "You say 'yes' and I'll kill you!"
Drew snapped his attention to Andi, "Andi?"
Andi stumbled to stand, "I mean it, Drew! I will not let you do this!"
Lilly stumbles to stand as well, "We're going to stop Lucifer and it doesn't have to happen!" She shouts.
Lucifer chuckles, "Doubtful. Look what happened to your angel." Lucifer said.
JT bit back the anger he had against Lucifer for what he did to Ezekiel. JT held onto his kama tightly, he looked at it then to the devil. JT didn't realize it, but he sped over to Lucifer, who didn't even notice him, and delivered a powerful attack which sent the devil back. Lucifer was rolling onto the ground for a bit, which he knocked over a few headstones.
"JT," Clyde walked over, "Since when could you do that?"
JT shakes his head, "I- I don't know."
JT looked up to see Lucifer stand, but stumble slightly.
"What is the game plan, leader?" Garry asks.
"We fight." JT said.
-MONSTERHUNTERS-
Iris was in the police station, she was exhausted from her day. She walked into the locker room, no one was there. She sat down on the bench in front of her locker. She rubbed her hand through her hair, letting out an exhausted deep breathe. She looked up at the ceiling.
"Man," Iris started, "I never realized that I don't have as much energy as I did back when I was a teenager."
Iris let out a small smile, thinking back to those days. It was simpler. She was a teenager, sure she had some abnormal responsibilities, but it was her life. Now it was too stressful and she was a grown up. She was working a normal job. She had a great job, with great people and a great partner.
"I wonder if Jules found him," Iris spoke to herself.
She stood up and opened her locker, it was there that a small piece of paper fell. She seemed a bit confused about it, she carefully picked it up and noticed it was a note from Gordon. She read over it, and then her eyes widen with shock. She grabbed her cell phone as fast as she could.
"Jules," Iris spoke, "Gordon- he- we need to hurry!"
-MONSTERHUNTERS-
The rangers were out of breathe as they were now powered down again, panting for air from pure exhaustion. Standing in front of them was a perfectly fine Lucifer. A small smirk on his face. However, the sky because to change. The sky was beginning to turn from the grey clouded sky to pure black.
Andi looks up, "What the hell is up with the sky?" She spoke.
Garry looks at his girlfriend, "No clue." Garry said as he very confused by it.
"It is very freaky even for us." Drew said to them.
Lilly nods as it was getting to her, "I know but it does not look like it's Lucifer's doing." Lilly said to them.
Clyde looks at JT as he grabs his morpher to call Daphne, "I take it you are calling Daphne." Clyde said to JT.
JT nods to Clyde.
"We got our final battle that is about to get started." Daphne said to JT.
JT was stunned by her statement, "Be careful guys, and ours is getting started as well." JT said to Daphne.
"Your team too, and JT things may get bad and emotions will run high. Plus unexpected things could happen as well. I believe in your team." Daphne said to JT.
JT nods as he wish he had gotten advice about it from a veteran ranger, "I will keep that in mind, and I believe in your team as well." JT said to Daphne as the call ends.
Andi looks at JT as she is wondering what is going on, "Well?" Andi said to JT.
JT looks at them as he sighs to them, "Daphne and her team are in their final battle." JT said to them.
The teens are shocked by it, "Talk about a very bad time". Andi said to them.
The teens nod in agreement as they can't help them in this battle. The rangers turn back to Lucifer, he still had his devilish smirk on his face.
"Come on guys!" JT shouts.
The other five nod.
They quickly morphed again and began to charge into battle.
-MONSTERHUNTERS-
Jules ran in the direction of the Old Horsemen bar. However, when she arrived there she saw someone she'd least expect there.
"What are you doing here, Sheppard?" Jules asks.
Sheppard looks at Jules, "Listen, Julia," He started, "I was granted passage that after this was all said and done that I would be left alone."
"What? Who would make a deal with you?" Jules asks.
Sheppard gave her a look, "Who do you think?"
"Gordon?" Jules spoke.
Sheppard shakes his head, "No. Remember your dear old dad?"
A single tear slid down the side of her face, "What did you do to him?"
Sheppard shakes his head, "I did nothing. He woke up and well, paid me a visit." Sheppard said.
Sheppard hands Jules a note. Jules looks at the note, the note was from her father. She knew the handwriting. The note was telling Jules that her father sold himself to make sure that Sheppard would protect her and her unborn child. Jules looked from the note to the demon in front of her.
"Why?" Jules asks.
"Because he knew the risks that this battle was going to be." Sheppard said.
Jules held onto the note tightly, "Is he-?"
Sheppard nods.
Jules choked back her tears, "Where- Where is Gordon?" She asks.
Sheppard looks at the human, "Julia."
Jules snapped and slapped the demon across the face, "Tell me! You've taken my father away!"
Sheppard did not seemed to care, "Gordon went to the Grim Reaper," He spoke, "That's all I know."
Jules' eye widen, "No-,"
-MONSTERHUNTERS-
The rangers dodged Lucifer's attack, but then the ground began to shake when they all least expected it. Everyone stopped fighting, which included Lucifer. He seemed a bit confused by this. Riding in on a black horse was a hidden figure. Everyone just stared. Andi's eyes were widen.
"Wait- no," Andi muttered.
Drew looks at her, "What?"
"Andi?" Garry spoke.
Lucifer seemed to notice their distraction and used it to his advantage. He ran in and slashed his blade at the rangers, which caused them to fall back and power down. The rangers look to see Lucifer beginning to walk over toward them. JT held his hand out and a red aura appeared which gave him his weapon.
"Guys! Get up!" JT shouts.
Andi grabbed her dual swords, Garry grabbed his daggers, Lilly held her bow and reached for an arrow, Clyde held onto his hammer tightly, and Drew held onto his katana. The six of them stood up, bruised and beaten badly. Lucifer had a smirk on his face as he watched the six of them.
"It's amazing how much you keep standing, despite the fact you will never win." Lucifer said.
JT gritted his teeth, "We get back up because of our will to protect the world! Protect the world from you!"
Suddenly red aura began to surround JT. One by one, the rangers while out of suits, began to have their respected aura surround them. Lucifer stopped in his tracks and then braced himself for the six of them sending a powerful attack his way. This sent the devil back near the black horse and hidden figure.
"Did we- just win?" Clyde spoke.
Drew takes a step forward, "Don't be cocky."
Lilly noticed Lucifer begin to move, "He's- He's still alive?"
The rangers were surprised by that.
Jules was running in, she noticed the rangers in their civilian form and Lucifer slowly stumbling to stand. Jules stopped running, she noticed the teenagers and they noticed her. Lucifer turned to see the mentor, the hunter, the one from the beginning. A grin appeared on Lucifer's face. He began to charge at Jules, his speed was faster than the rangers out of their suits. As Jules looked up to notice Lucifer, she closed her eyes to accept it.
"Jules-!" The six rangers screamed.
However, nothing happened.
Jules opened her eyes and noticed blocking the attack with his own weapon was Sheppard. This stunned everyone around.
"Sheppard?" Jules spoke.
Sheppard pushed Lucifer back, "I am bound to protect you," Sheppard let out a sigh, "As much as I hate you, until this is over I have to protect you and that baby of yours."
Jules placed her hand on her stomach, "Dad," She thought about her father and what she had done for her.
Lucifer glanced from Jules to Sheppard, "Never questioned you as one to switch sides."
Sheppard smirked, "I never switched sides. I am on my own side," Sheppard said.
Lucifer snickers, "I should have killed you when I had the chance."
Sheppard gives Lucifer a powerful punch to the face, "Think you'd kill me?"
Lucifer stumbled back. He held onto his face and then looked up at Sheppard, he noticed what was in his hand.
"Is that the colt?" Lucifer asks.
Sheppard nods, "Why yes it is." He then vanished.
Everyone looked around for Sheppard. Even Lucifer. Sheppard appeared behind Andi, he tapped her shoulder. She turned around which got everyone's attention.
"I knew Xavier Watson," Sheppard spoke, "We were- well we knew each other."
Sheppard hands her the colt. Andi held onto it and then looked at the demon in front of her.
"You're not an evil man," Andi said.
Sheppard smirks, "Yes I am." He vanished.
Then he appeared back in front of Jules.
Lucifer glares at Sheppard, "So what you gave the damn girl the colt!"
Sheppard grins.
"What's so funny?" Lucifer shouts.
Sheppard kept his grin, "You never bothered to question why a horsemen has been watching this battle?"
Lucifer turns to see the horsemen more clearly. Lucifer had a glare on his face.
"What is this trick?" Lucifer spoke.
"No trick," Sheppard spoke.
The rangers glance among each other.
"What is going on?" Garry asks.
Lilly shrugs.
The horse with the man riding it came over, getting off the horse the individual took off the cloak that had made him hard to identify. Which then made everyone shocked. It was none other than Gordon.
"Gordon-?" Jules spoke.
Drew seemed confused, "Dad-?"
Andi's eyes widen, "No-,"
All eyes shift to her, "Andi?" Clyde asks.
Lilly looks at her, "What?"
Andi shakes her head, "My dream- its coming back." She said.
JT looks at her, "What do you mean?"
Gordon reached into his pocket and pulled out four rings.
"What is going on, dad?" Drew asks.
Gordon looks at them and only gave a smile. He dropped the rings which then created a large hole in the ground. Lucifer knew what it was, he smirked and jumped away.
"So," Lucifer started, "You traded your life to insure I died."
Gordon vanished much like Sheppard had. Then reappeared behind Lucifer, he held onto the demon tightly. Drew turned to Andi, she closed her eyes tightly and then let out a deep breathe as a single tear slid down her cheek. Drew turns back to his dad with so much worry.
"Dad?" Drew spoke.
Finally Gordon spoke, "We don't have much time," He looked to Andi, "You know what you have to do."
Andi frowns, "But-."
"Andi?" Drew turns back.
"I have to shoot them," She said.
JT takes the colt, "No," He points it at Lucifer, "I can't allow you to have that on your conscious, Andi."
Drew didn't realize how he was starting to cry. Jules was beginning to break down, and surprisingly into Sheppard's arms. The rangers looked among each other and then to what was happening in front of them. Lucifer struggling to get out and Gordon holding onto him tightly.
"Shoot him in the head!" Gordon shouts.
Drew noticed that JT was about to, "You'll hit my dad!"
Jules lets out a sob to say, "Drew," Which got his attention, "Even if Gordon survived it- he wouldn't live much long after words."
Drew looks from Jules to his dad, "No- No! We just started to become close!"
Gordon let out a small chuckle, "I'm sorry, sport. But- I couldn't let it get worst."
Drew began to sob and he collapsed onto his knees.
"I love you, Drew. I need you to look after Jules and I need you to be a great big brother. Promise that baby will know who I was." Gordon said.
Choking through his tears Drew shouts, "I promise!"
JT looks at Gordon, "Mr Sanders?"
Gordon nods.
Everything felt like it slowed down. The sound of the bullet exiting the barrel. It was longest few seconds ever. When the bullet entered Lucifer and the two collapsed into the hole, and then the hole closed up. Everything returned back to normal speed. Jules collapsed onto the ground screaming in sorrow. Drew began to scream and cry, Lilly knelt down next to her boyfriend. She hugged him tightly. Garry was holding onto Andi as she sobbed into his chest. Clyde walked over to JT, he took the colt from his boyfriend's hand. JT turns to look at Clyde, Clyde was not shocked to see tears in his boyfriend's eyes. Clyde quickly hugged his boyfriend as he dropped the colt on the ground.
-MONSTERHUNTERS-
Zoe walked into the hospital a bit alarmed when she heard her son was there. She walked through the lobby, she noticed the parents and friends of her son. That included Andi, who was hugging her mom and dad tightly. Zoe's heart began to race, thinking the worst has happened. As a nurse told her where her son was, she ran into a room to find her son and a women in there with a body on a table with a white sheet on top.
"Drew?" Zoe stepped further in.
Drew turns around with tears in his eyes, "Mom-."
The body on the table was not anyone Zoe knew. She seemed a bit confused, because here her son was crying and he was hurt as well as his friends from what she saw. Drew quickly hugged his mom tightly, she seemed really confused and turned to the women.
"What- is going on?" Zoe asks.
Drew sniffed, "Dad- he's gone."
Zoe turns to the women fully, "What?"
Jules turns to Zoe, "He did a selfless act for the Power Rangers. He sacrifice his life to protect the world."
Zoe was stunned by that and then listened to her son sob. Jules turned back to the table, the body was of her father. She grabbed the sheet and pulled it fully over his face. Looking at the now covered body she turned to the other two, and motioned for them to leave. As the three arrived into the lobby, the parents were being very comforting to their children that is until the three came back. Everyone stopped and looked at them.
"Zoe," Natasha spoke.
Andi's mom hugged Drew's mom. The two had known each other for years. The parents began to comfort Zoe and Jules, which then Zoe found out about Jules' relationship and Gordon. As this was happening Iris entered the lobby, she noticed the state of mind everyone in the lobby were.
Jules noticed Iris, "Iris." She walked over to Iris.
Iris hugs Jules, "I'm so sorry for your loss."
Jules nods, "Thank you."
Iris reached into her pocket and pulled out this note, "He left this for you." She said.
Jules took the note and formed a small smile, "Thank you."
Iris placed a comfort hand on Jules' shoulder for a moment, as she moved along to walk over to the group of teenagers. They were sitting in the chairs in the lobby. They had a rough day. They fought Lucifer, they won their final battle followed by a terrible loss, and then they went to the hospital for their injures and had to lie to their parents saying they got hurt while trying to get to safety.
Iris walked over and knelt down in front of Drew's chair, "Hey, kid." She said.
Drew looks at her, "Hi, Iris."
Iris noticed Drew and Lilly holding hands. She was happy they were together again.
"I know this is going to be really hard on you," Iris placed a hand on his knee, "But you are never alone. There are people here for you; family, friends, veteran rangers." Iris said.
Drew nods, "Yeah,"
She reached into her pocket, "Here. He would want you to have this." Iris said.
Drew looked at the piece of paper folded over, he took it from her and held onto it. Iris stood up, she looked at the others and held a small smile.
"You guys," Iris looked down then back to them, "You did your job. You saved the world, we're all proud of you." Iris said.
The rangers looked at Iris. Nodding at her. Andi's cell phone rang, she let go of Garry's hand to stand up to answer the phone. She stepped away to answer the phone. Iris headed back over to the parents and Jules. The rangers were silent, they would give each other small glances but they were both exhausted and just emotional distraught from this.
Andi got off the phone and walked over, "That was Gwen."
"And?" Clyde spoke.
Andi looks at her team, "They won."
Lilly smiles slightly, "That's great." She said.
JT looks at Andi, "Did you tell her?" JT asks.
Andi fumbles with her phone, "Yeah," Her eyes trailed to Drew.
Garry stands up, "It's going to be okay."
Lilly nods and hugs her boyfriend. Drew held onto Lilly and kissed the top of her head. Drew looked up and noticed the second he looked in the direction of the adults, Jules looked at him. The two share a nod, they had a small smile on their face.
"I know," Drew spoke softly, "I made him a promise."
