CHAPTER THREE

Angel Grove-Command Center

"Lerigot has taken great pains to hide his exact location." Zordon told the Rangers once they got to the Power Chamber. "Someone must be after him."

It is at this moment they receive a transmission, "Hello, Aisha to the Command Center, do you read me?" Aisha inquired urgently. Adam & Billy's heads pop up from whatever they were working on. "Aisha?" They both said confused.

"Yes Aisha, it has been a long time, but we read you." Zordon said. "Oh god it feels good to hear the voice of old friends, but this wizard Lerigot has crash landed to my village and has been asking for the whereabouts of Alpha 5, I would teleport us to you but my communicator is badly damaged, and only works well enough to contact you."

"Ay Yai Yai, Tommy and Kat, you must find him quickly!" Alpha exclaimed

"Tanya, and I will stay here and keep a look out." Adam announced. Tommy nodded. "Good idea, this could be trouble, keep your eye out." He told Adam.

"We're located in the Koukou Village in Gabon, Central Africa, Billy, Alpha do you think you can send Tommy & Kat to my exact location? Lerigot doesn't look to good!" Aisha inquired "Negative something in the Power Chamber is affecting the full teleportation unit, we can send them about 50 miles east of your location, they would have to make the trek the rest of the way."

"Equip yourselves with the Power Boxes. Lerigot cannot survive under the sun's rays for much longer." Zordon explained. Tommy and Kat went over to a unit in the Power Chamber and took out their respective Power Boxes.

Adam and Tanya look on at their fellow Rangers.

"Ready?" Tommy asked, looking at Kat.

"Let's go." Kat said.

They thrust out the Power Packs and teleport out of the Power Chamber in Red and Pink.

In Gabon, Lerigot is walking around, getting weaker and weaker by the sun. Aisha is trying to keep him calm and out of the suns rays but it's evident that he's not going to hold out much longer. "Don't give out on me yet Lerigot, the Power Rangers are on the way to help take you to Alpha.

Planet Liaria

The scanners on the submarine start to beep as Rygog has some important news. "I found Lerigot, he's on Earth." Rygog told Divatox.

"Yes, he must be looking for Zordon." Divatox stated. Excellent, You will have to capture two humans of purity and strength. They'll be my gift to Maligore." She says. "Activate the barrier shield and set a course for Earth. We're going after Lerigot."

Not a minute later the ship rematerializes and shoots like a comet to Earth.

Angel Grove Baseball Park - Earth

"Bulk, you ever wonder how much pull Lt. Stone has in the Angel Grove PD?" Skull asks. "No Skull I'm just glad he hired us back after we found out that Detective agency in France was a sham."

Just then a hotdog guy goes passed Bulk and Skull but they both block his way and take some of his hotdogs and mustard.

"Bulk, Skull!" Lt. Stone called out

"Beat it kid." Bulk told the hotdog guy.

Once Lt. Stone got close to the two he leaned on the railing in front of the two 'police officers'. "Boys, listen up, because you know how I hate to repeat myself. I HATE to repeat myself." Lt. Stone said.

"Just did Sir." Bulk said, making Stone roll his eyes. Bulk looks at Skull and sees that he is trying to get the mustard to squirt onto his hotdog.

"I needn't remind you of our luck of getting rehired. Men, I have an important assignment for you, it's an easy one, one that will uh… Skullovitch, are you listening to me?" Stone asked Skull, who had been stomping on the mustard container, trying to get some of the mustard out, when he heard his name he picked up the mustard and straightened up.

"Well listen to this. Precisely at 19:00 you will relieve me of my duties at the international danceathon. Do I make myself clear?" Stone ask.

"Got it sir," Bulk said, saluting Stone.

"Yes sir!" Skull said, hitting his forehead with the bottom of the mustard bottle, squirting mustard at Lt. Stone, making Bulk look at him in disbelief.

"Do you mind sir?" Skull asked, wiping up the mustard with the hotdog. "Thank you." He said, walking off.

"Napkin?" Lt. Stone asked Bulk.

"Got one sir, thanks." Bulk said, following Skull, leaving Lt. Stone standing on the bleachers, irritated.

Gabon Central Africa

Kat and Tommy had been looking for a while, when they stopped and looked around, "This is cool." Kat said excitedly.

Tommy looked down at his tracker. "The signals coming from, that direction." He said, pointing up ahead. "Let's go find him." He said, walking off with her beside him.

Back in the Power Chamber, Tanya and Adam were tracking whatever was following Lerigot. Tanya said, tapping a few keys on the computer.

"This is moving fast. Adam come check this out." Adam walks over to her. "You know that thing we've been tracking; it just entered the Earth's atmosphere." She told her friend, showing him the screen. "But it has some kind of shield blocking its identity." Tanya explained.

"It is likely the reason that Lerigot has come to Earth, an evil energy surrounds it." Zordon told the Green, and Yellow Rangers.

"Uh, I've got a bad feeling about this. I hope Kat and Tommy make it back soon." Adam said, worried.

Angel Grove Highway - Night

"Lt. Stone is already going to kill us for being late, so turn right." Bulk says from a side car, on the road, with Skull driving the cycle.

"Left, left is north, north star. Look at the stars there man!" Skull argued pointing to what he thought was a star.

"That star?" Bulk asked, and Skull nodded. "That star is moving." Bulk said incredulously.

A light starts flickering on and off of them, making them panic. They start driving and they get about half a mile away before they crash into a building because Skull couldn't stop the motorbike. Once they are stopped inside the building they start hearing noise, and then the blue light starts shining on them again, making them disappear.

On the ship, Divatox is plotting her next move, "Alright it's time to see what defense force Zordon has on call to Earth, Rygog what Rangers are in Angel Grove right now?" Divatox inquired. "It appears that the Yellow & Green rangers are in Angel Grove and the Pink & Red rangers are in Africa" Rygog explained "Excellent, I'll go with some piranhatrons to Angel Grove Park. I want to test the gage of my new opponents, Havoc take some Piranhatrons and intercept the Red & Pink Rangers. Bring Lerigot to me!" Commanded Divatox "I'll take my own Chromites sister, you can keep your Pirhanatrons." Havoc says as he disappears in a flash of light.

END

Authors notes: I added General Havoc because I feel like he'd have good fights with the rangers in this story, and we didn't get enough of him in the show! 5 episodes wasn't enough especially when he was actually scoring major victories on the rangers too, I want to add in the fact that Divatox is a master strategist too, this is her first outing against the rangers, I want to make her look as strong as ever.
