The Order of Meledon Part 1

Zordon had lived for thousands of years. He was easily one of the oldest beings in the universe, the grid and powerful magic having stalled his ageing and then he was trapped in a time warp, his body kept in stasis. The Great Power had freed him and given him a new leash on life. No longer was he a helpless bystander sending teenagers and children to war, he could make a difference and help end this senseless war.

The moment they teleported out of the Command Centre, they found an army of X-borgs, piranhatrons, quantrons and putties heading towards them and led by five generals- Divatox, Eclipta, Trakeena, Vexacus and Damaras.

Dulcea leapt at the incoming soldiers, whirling her staff and bashing through several X-borgs. She broke the staff into twin batons and started swinging them, creating a powerful sonic wave from each of them, which tore through the metallic soldiers.

Eclipta lunged at her, though the sonic wave chipped away parts of her crystalline green armour. Dulcea saw her coming and recombined her staff just in time to deflect Eclipta's optic blast.

"Who are you?" Dulcea narrowed her eyes. "You remind me of a warrior I once knew, who fought for the side of evil but still had a code of honour."

"You must be speaking of my brother, Ecliptor. I am Eclipta, herald of the Dark Specter." She spat. "A mistake you won't make again. Just who the hell are you supposed to be anyway?"

"I am Dulcea, master warrior of Phaedos." The guardian brought her sword up to meet Eclipta's sword midway. A metallic clang rang through the battlefield.

"Never heard of you." The crystallian snorted, flipping over Dulcea and landed behind her. She sweeped her legs perpendicular to Dulcea's feet, knocking her off balance.

Before Dulcea could fall, she stabbed her staff to the ground and used it as a support to execute a pole fan kick, striking Eclipta's head, knocking her back.

"Nice. Clearly, I underestimated you." Eclipta said. "By the way, I know the galactic fashion trends are awful but a bikini in battle is so outdated. Unless it's a way to seduce and distract your opponents, which is pretty deceptive for someone who is supposed to fight for good."

Dulcea glared at her.

"What I wear or not is none of your concern."

She rushed at her with her wooden staff, both of them becoming twin blurs of green as they tried to outmatch the other.

Zordon relished the rush of adrenaline as he swung his staff in a wide arc, letting loose a crescent wave of arcane energy that obliterated an entire squad of quantrons.

"You are supposed to be the greatest force of good the universe has ever seen, yet you resort to such petty parlour tricks." A warrior in gold and red scoffed, charging at the eltarian, swinging his sword wildly. "Dark Spectre suspected you might be free so he sent me, Damaras the greatest warrior in the cosmos to bring him your head."

"A warrior who fights for evil is nothing more than a pawn in my eyes." Zordon said, blocking the sword with his staff, creating a shockwave, that completely blew away the sand around them.

"Big words for a man who hides and sends children to fight his battles." The general snarked, pushing forward with his sword and then jabbing Zordon in the ribs with his elbow, forcing him to drop his staff and throwing him back.

"Destroying you seems to be easier than I thought." Damaras gloated. "All these centuries in Earth has made you weak like the humans you protect."

Zordon raised his hand and the staff flew back to his hands.

"Do not underestimate me." He said simply, slamming the staff to the ground and creating a seismic wave that toppled the warrior.

"You wish to test my might. Then so be it." He raised his staff upwards and wind seemed to pick up at his feet before spiralling outwards and forming a cyclone that picked up Damaras as well as many foot soldiers with him and thrashed them against each other in the air before slamming them to the earth.

While the Quantrons and X-borgs were turned into scraps of metal, Damaras was still in one piece. He spat sand out of his mouth and cocked his head towards Zordon.

He swung his sword, sending an energy wave at Zordon, who created a forcefield with his staff but the attack shattered the shield and threw him back.

"Two can play this game, eltarian." He snarked. "I will kill you just like I killed your precious Gosei."

Zordon's eyes widened. A few centuries ago, his apprentice and former fiancé was killed while defending Mirinoi from the Armada.

His eyes flared. Rocks and boulders erupted from the ground and hovered in the air behind him before slamming down on Damaras, who managed to strike each projectile with his sword.

"Is that all you can do?" He snarked, only to see Zordon glowing in a serene blue energy. A wave of energy radiated from his body, incinerating any foot-soldier it touched. Damaras erected a forcefield to protect himself.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" The eltarian yelled, blue light washing over his body. A golden shield wrapped around his torso with it's edges resembling flames. He was enveloped in navy armour resembling that of his rangers. A regal golden cape flowed out from his shoulders and his arms were covered by golden gauntlets. His helmet seemed to be blue except for a white bird wrapping it's wings around his visor and it's tail projected outwards, forming a spike that extended to the back of his helmet. A glimmering diamond superimposed in the middle of his shield with a golden coin in it's centre. An image of a bird flying through flames was engraved on the power coin.

"BLAZING PHOENIX RANGER!" Zordon shouted. His staff was transformed to a metallic spear with rubies encrusted in it.

The phoenix ranger jumped at Damaras, his spear shattering the villain's sword and pinning him to the ground. He dug the spear though Damaras' shoulder and his entire body went up in flames.

"You have been avenged, Gosei." He whispered.

Fienna fought Trakeena and Villamax together. She dodged Trakeena's energy blast only to be struck down by her mercenary consort.

"Surrender and you'll stay in one piece. I'm sure Master Vile would pay a hhuge bounty to have back by his side." Trakeena smirked, poising her stinger.

The white-haired witch glared at them and started to glow in a golden light. She shot her hands forward and bolts of lightning slammed against the two, throwing them back by several meters.

"I'm never going back to that monster!" Fienna screamed as she was enveloped in white armour. Her helmet resembled the head of a dragon and her visor was golden matching the colour of her shield.

"WHITE DRAGON WARRIOR!" She announced, drawing forth the Sword of Power and charging at the villains. She swung her sword, sending a wave of white energy crashing against Trakeena.

"NO!" Villamax yelled, leaping at her. Fienna parried his blow and slashed her sword against his armour, causing tiny explosions across his entire body.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Trakeena shouted, assuming her insectoid form- a green alien resembling a mantis. She let loose a torrent of purple energy at Fienna, which she deflected with her sword.

Trakeena helped Villamax up and glared at the white ranger, who walked towards them slowly.

"Leave now and I won't destroy you. Unlike others in your alliance, you care for each other. There's still goodness in your hearts." She said gently.

"You're wrong." Trakeena snarled before looking at Villamax's wounded form. "We'll meet again, sorceress and you'll regret pitying us." The two villains teleported away in green light.

Fienna sighed before turning her attention to a squad of quantrons charging at her.

Dimitria clapped her hands together, creating a powerful airwave that tore through the robotic minions.

"Nice trick but that won't work on me." Divatox lunged at Dimitria with her sai, only for the inquirian to headbutt her. She twisted Dimitria's arm and put her other arm around her neck, placing her in a chokehold.

"Ready to give up now?" Divatox smirked.

Dimitria stepped on Divatox's foot and flipped her over.

"Why do you continue to deny your true identity, sister?" Dimitria asked her sister.

"Because I am not some weak inquirian brat- I am a queen. Viva la Diva!" The pirate yelled, conjuring a whip and flinging it at her sister. Dimitria sidestepped the attack and summoned her morpher.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME- CRIMSON HAWK!" She yelled, a red light washing over her body and transforming her to the Crimson Morphin Ranger. Contrary to her colour designation, most of her armour was white save for a golden shield and red helmet. The eyes and beak of a bird adorned her helmet with a wing like design beside his visor.

"Really, Dimitria? I always knew you were weak. You need to morph to stand a chance against me. What about having a fair fight?"

"Are you not giving your all to this fight? If so, why should I hold back?" She summoned her weapon, the Soultaker Sword and the green blade of her weapon cut through Divatox's whip.

Divatox stepped back, seeing the green blade.

"Where did you get that?" She asked, her voice wavering.

"Does it really matter?" The ranger charged at the pirate, who fumbled for a second before taking out a blaster and firing at her. Dimitria dodged the lasers and sped at her sister. She swung her sword, cutting through the blaster and held it at Divatox's throat.

"You won't do it." The pirate gloated. "You will always love me, no matter what I do. So stop-"

Dimitria spassed the sword through Divatox's shoulder. "You are right. I won't ever hurt you but I will free you from whatever spell Dark Spectre has put on you."

She withdrew the sword and Divatox pressed her hand against the wound, as she was bathed in a white light. The wound closed and she fell to the ground, her pirate gear replaced by a simple white gown.

"Alpha, teleport my sister and put her in a statis pod." Dimitria instructed, watching her sister teleported by flickers of white light. She smiled underneath her helmet. After so long, she had finally freed her sister from evil.

The seemingly infinite army of footsoldiers had been completely vanquished. Eclipta, the last standing general was thrown backwards as Dulcea whacked her staff against her head. The other three regrouped at her side.

"You have been a strong opponent." Dulcea stated. "But the fight is over. You may surrender now or you will be destroyed."

"I will never-"

Just then, an energy bolt tore through Eclipta, completely obliterating her in a huge explosion.

"The Order of Meledon, reunited once again. Doesn't it feel like old times?" They looked up to see Master Vile walk towards them, with an entire army of tengas and putties behind him.
