I would like to dedicate this next story section to Brianna S. Stay strong Brianna. #Bri Strong.
The scene shifts back to the ruined city. We see the eight people surrounded by Drazors still. We also see that the monster is Pyrax.
Pyrax: (laughing) Lord Diablo will be pleased with me. I might even become a general now.
A look at the eight people reveals that they are Jackie, Sarah, Nathan, Ny, Ian and Michaela. We don't know who the other two are yet.
Jackie: you won't get away with this Pyrax.
Pyrax: Oh yeah? Who's gonna stop me?
Suddenly a blast of energy hits Pyrax in the chest pushing him back. The eight people look to see a blue and a purple ranger standing there with their blasters raised and pointed at Pyrax.
Blue Ranger: us
All of a sudden the morphers on the other's wrists beep and start to glow.
Morphers: compatible power source detected
Purple Ranger: quick morph
Ian: right! ready?
others: ready
Ian/Ny: dragon thunder power up hah
Nathan/Michaela/Jackie/Sarah: flame ranger power
?/?: phantom ranger power
The eight of them morph into their ranger armor.
Pyrax: well shit!
Red Ranger: let's do this guys
Pyrax: drazors attack
More drazors appear in large numbers and charge at the rangers.
91
The ten rangers draw their swords and charge at the oncoming drazors.
Ny: it's good to be a ranger again.
Nathan: you said it
Working together the ten rangers manage to defeat the drazors with ease. They then turn their attention back to Pyrax. The two unknown rangers then step forward.
?/?: we've got this
Blue Ranger: alright John and Zack he's all yours
Both: right
John and Zack charge at Pyrax at the same time. Pyrax is caught off guard and takes to direct hits.
Pyrax: (backing up) ouch! That hurt
Zack: good get used to it
John: why don't you go home and tell Diablo the power rangers are back
Pyrax: this isn't over rangers
Pyrax then teleports away. The rangers then regroup.
All: power down
Their ranger armor disappears. We see that the blue and purple rangers are Greg and Laura. They are both dressed like the people we saw in the "dreams". We also see that Greg is wearing an eyepatch over his right eye.
Ian: Greg!
Ny: Laura!
The two of them run and hug Greg and Laura.
Nathan: you're back
Greg: yeah we're back
Laura: (looking around) what's happened here?
92
Ian: it all started a few months ago
Present day Earth:
Brandon arrives at the coordinates he was given to find himself surrounded by drazors.
Morticai: welcome red ranger.
Morticai starts laughing as he watches Brandon struggle to fend off the Drazors. Brandon is able to hold them off for some time but it becomes obvious that he's getting overwhelmed. Suddenly a bunch of Dra(y)zors appear and give him a hand. With their help Brandon is able to defeat the drazors. He then turns his attention to Morticai, who is already wearing his battle armor.
Brandon: let's do this (squeezing morpher) battle mode
Brandon's battle armor appears.
Brandon: (holding out hand) battle weapon
Brandon's second sword appears in his left hand. He then charges at Morticai. Morticai is caught off guard but quickly recovers in time to block Brandon's first attack.
Morticai: hah pathetic.
Morticai then punches Brandon sending him flying backwards. He hits the ground hard which knocks the wind out of him.
Brandon: (breathing heavily) ouch
Morticai walks over to Brandon with axe in hand.
Morticai: pathetic
Morticai raises his axe above his head and starts bringing it down on Brandon. Suddenly a laser beam hits Morticai in the chest knocking him back.
?: I don't think so Morticai.
They both look to see a morphed Barca standing there with his blaster raised and pointed at Morticai's head.
Morticai: don't think this is over red rangers. Next time you won't get away so easily.
93
Morticai then teleports away. Barca walks over to Brandon, who is still on the ground, and offers his hand. Brandon takes it and Barca helps him up.
Both: power down
Barca: are you ok Brandon?
Brandon: yeah thanks to you. I owe you one.
Barca: trust me you'll have plenty of opportunities to repay the favor in the coming days.
Barca goes to leave but Brandon steps in front of him.
Brandon: wait! I want some answers
Barca: I don't have time right now
Brandon: dragon thunder power up hah. (draws sword) then make time
Barca: (sighing) fine you asked for it
He pulls a strange looking device out of his back pocket
Barca: SPD emergency
Barca's ranger armor appears. They both draw their swords.
Barca: let's do this
Brandon swings his sword at Barca who easily blocks. Brandon takes several more swings at Barca, all of which are blocked with ease. As a result of his battle with the drazors, and Morticai's attack, Brandon seems to be getting tired.
Barca: (yawning) are you done yet?
Brandon: (panting) not by a long shot
Brandon goes for a strong attack. Barca takes advantage of the opening and hits Brandon in the stomach with the hilt of his sword. Brandon hits the ground winded as a result.
Barca: power down. This battle is over. You've lost but I will answer two of your questions if I am able to. Just know there's some things I cannot reveal without changing history.
Brandon: (sitting up) power down. Who are you? Those moves seem very familiar.
94
Barca: they should as I said we've met before.
Suddenly Barca's appearance changes and Greg is standing there.
Brandon: Greg?!
Greg: yes Brandon it's me. However this is all I can reveal to you about this aspect of the future.
Brandon: ok. Rangers don't usually travel alone. You're from the future how many of your team are here in the present with you?
Greg: there are eight more members of my team here in the present with me. And no I can't tell you who they are.
Greg goes to leave again.
Brandon: wait!
Greg: (turning around) what? I've answered both your questions.
Brandon: do you have any advice for me? I feel like I'm losing control of my team.
Greg: (sighing) stay true to yourself and your team will trust you. Don't lose faith and never give up.
After that Greg changes his appearance back to Barca and leaves before Brandon can stop him again. Brandon then gets up and teleports away as well.
