Episode 467: Power Rangers Tribulation: The Beast, the Witnesses, and the Pope
"Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.' So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.
The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts." -Revelation 9:13-21

Rossi makes an announcement
"I regret to inform all of you, that the beloved ruler of the United States of Southeast Asia, Admiral Malkor, was killed" said Rossi "and Prince Vrak was injured in the attack, trying to defend the Admiral. While Prince Vrak will recover and will soon be able to resume ruling his kingdom, I have searched for a replacement for Admiral Malkor. I have found one, a being that once was able to keep almost the entire universe under one rule, one that has already proven himself to be a peaceful, but effective ruler. Let me introduce to you the new ruler of the United States of Southeast Asia, Dark Specter. I have discovered that the two so-called Witnesses in Jerusalem were behind the assassination of Malkor. These two have already killed several with hidden flame throwers, the death of Malkor is the final straw, I will go to Jerusalem and finish them myself" and then a trumpet sounds, and people begin dropping dead, from what appeared to be wounds from fire
"And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth." -Revelation 11:7-10
June 4
In Jerusalem, Rossi approaches the Witnesses.
"You two are under arrest for countless murders" said Rossi, but the Witnesses do not answer him "and I am here to end you once and for all. IT'S MORPHIN TIME! NINJAKON!" and he pulls out his sword and runs them through. "See, I have killed these wicked men. Now we shall celebrate their end!" and all over the universe, people celebrate
In an unknown place, a man watches the celebration and clenches his fist.
"I may not have believed their message" said the man "but they didn't deserve to die, they never attacked unless they were attacked. And they certainly don't deserve to have their deaths celebrated by the entire universe. Rossi will pay for this, and I have just the device to do this that. It may not be my most powerful invention, but it will be my most important as this device will be used to finally kill Muhammed Rossi" and he goes over to a cabinet, pulls out a small box and opens it, revealing something that looks like a flashlight
June 5
In the Delta Base, Rossi is reveling in his kill when Pope Francis storms in.
"What do you want, Frank?" Rossi asked
"You will address me by my proper title" said Francis "I am the leader of the Babylon One Universe Faith"
"And I am the leader of that universe" said Rossi "so what's your problem?"
"You just killed two people that some members of my faith believed to be holy men" said Francis
"Do you believe that?" Rossi asked
"No, of course not" said Francis "they were murderers, but the whole point of Babylon One Universe Faith, is that anyone can believe anything they want"
"Yeah" said Rossi "you see, the thing is, that's just not realistic, not everyone can be happy all the time"
"What?!" Francis asked "you were the one that suggested this whole thing!"
"That was when the universe needed something to unite it" said Rossi "and now that the universe is united, your religion has outlived its usefulness, as have you" and he summons his sword and runs Francis through. Rossi then goes over to his computer and sounds an alarm and the United Worlds' SPD troops rush in
"Sir" said the commander "are you all right?"
"Yes" said Rossi "a Red Ranger teleported in, killed Pope Francis, and teleported away"
"Was it this one?" a soldier asked, holding up a picture of the Red Angel Force Ranger
"Yes, it was him" said Rossi
"We'll look into this breach" said the commander "we're just thankful your safe"
June 7
In Jerusalem, people are still celebrating the deaths of the Witnesses, a Mighty Voice is head: "COME UP HERE!" and the Witnesses came back to life and ascended into Heaven. An earthquake occurred destroying a tenth of Jerusalem, and killing over 7000 people.
"The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come" -Revelation 11:14
June 29
Outside of the Delta Base, Rossi is giving a press conference, surrounded by many people, including Isa
"It has been a tough month" said Rossi "the Witnesses severely injured Prince Vrak and killed Admiral Malkor and more recently, Pope Francis, my dear friend, was killed by Rogue Rangers. The same Rangers made it appear that the so-called Witnesses were resurrected. But I have found a light in the darkness. I have discovered a man that helped create much of the Ranger technology and who has agreed to help us create more of our own Rangers, as well as bring in the Rogue Rangers. Without further ado, I introduce Dr. Anton Mercer"
"Thank you" said Mercer "I've been horrified by what's gone on the last few years and I have decided to begin developing technology to help fight evil. Here is the first of my new inventions" and he reaches into his suit and pulls out what appears to be a flashlight
"What is it, Dr. Mercer?" Rossi asked
"Your end" said Mercer as he hit a button on it, igniting the blade and stabbing Rossi in the head with it
"My lord" said Isa, falling before Rossi's body, holding it. Rossi's SPD cadets point their weapons at Mercer, who pulls out another device and hits a button on it, teleporting him away. The universe looks on in shock…
"And I saw a beast rising out of the sea… which had been wounded by a sword... and yet lived" -Revelation 13:1,14
