Power Rangers Lost in Space #7: The search for the chosen one chapter 1: the beginning
Previously on Power Rangers...
"What are you doing on this ship?" Rio asks Zhane.
"I want to join your crew to help people in other areas of the galaxy." Zhane responds.
"You're team killed our old captain Thunder." Rio says.
"He was under the influence of evil. The force rangers didn't want to destroy him. It was self defense." Zhane says.
"I sense that you have another reason." Rio says.
"It's a personal search. I need to find someone to replace someone else that once guided me." Zhane says.
"What is the name of the person that needs to be replaced?" Rio asks.
"Zordon." Zhane says.
-- Power Rangers Force: Endgame part three --
And now the beginning of an epic adventure that will take them all the way across the galaxy and back.
The ship enters a new system.
"Sir we have entered a new system. Orders?" an officer asks.
"Scan for any life forms." Rio responds.
The officer nods and pushes some buttons on his console.
"Sir, there appears to be at least one planet that can support life." The officer says.
"Head towards that planet at regular speed. We aren't in any hurry." Rio says.
Zhane enters the bridge and stands near the captain.
"What's going on?' Zhane asks.
"We're searching for life in this system. We are heading towards a planet that may have life." Rio responds.
After awhile the ship approaches a planet and goes into orbit.
"Scan for life forms." Rio orders the officer.
The officer nods and pushes some buttons.
"Scans show a large group of life forms." The officer says then frowns. "There appear to be a large concentration of them in one area. Sensors are also picking up a high energy reading coming from that area."
"Sounds like a battle." Rio says.
"Sir we are picking up a signal." The communication officer says.
"Is it directed at us?" Rio asks.
"No sir. It's directed in our general area." The officer responds.
"Put it on the speakers." Rio orders.
The officer nods and pushes some buttons.
"To anyone that can hear us. We need help. We under attack by alien forces. They are too powerful." A voice says over the speakers.
"Can we respond to that message?" Rio asks.
"No it's a automatic send message. Extremely low range. That's why we didn't pick it up until now." The communication officer responds.
"Sir picking up unidentified vessels on a intercept course." The navigation officer says.
"Are their weapons hot?" Rio asks.
"Yes sir. But I am not sure if they are hot to attack us or just to stay at readiness." The officer responds.
"Let's put up the shields just in case." Rio orders.
The tactical officer nods and brings the shields up. After a tense few moments, nothing happens. Suddenly on screen several small objects come out of the ship and shoot down into the planet's atmosphere.
"What were those?" Rio asks.
"Sensors seem to think that they might be pods. Life pods maybe." The officer responds.
"Hail that ship." Rio tells the communication officer.
"No response sir." The officer responds.
Suddenly the ship turns around and jumps into hyper-speed.
"What is going on? Are they abandoning their own soldiers?" Rio asks.
"Maybe they don't plan to ever need to come back for them." Zhane responds.
"I think maybe we should go down there armed to see what's going on. I have a bad feeling about these alien attackers." Rio says.
"I agree. Who should go?" The tactical officer asks.
"Zhane, you go with three of my best security officers. If you run into any trouble then contact us immediately." Rio responds.
Zhane goes into his quarters and sees his space morpher on the bed. He picks it up and puts it on his wrist. He doesn't know why he did this. He has not put on this morpher for three years since the fall of the dark council. Zhane puts a blaster in his holster and heads for the shuttle bay. He meets the three officers and they all enter the shuttle. One of them shows Zhane how to pilot the shuttle and he pilots it down to the surface of the planet.
"You must find the chosen one." A voice sounds in Zhane's head.
"What?" Zhane says faltering.
"What's wrong Zhane." One of the officers asks.
"I don't know. Just a strange voice in my head." Zhane responds.
The shuttle lands and they exit after verifying that the outside air is okay to breathe.
"I don't see anything or hear anything. Are you sure this is an area nearby one of the warzone?" Zhane asks.
"Yeah." One of the officers responds.
Suddenly an earthquake hits and the ground crumbles out from beneath Zhane and the three officers. Zhane falls and hits his head on the way down, knocking him out. When he wakes up he finds himself in the dark.
"Hello?" Zhane calls out.
But there is no answer. Zhane looks for some light but cannot find any.
"What's going on here. What happened to the top entrance." Zhane wonders.
He feels all around him and finds a passageway to the sides of him but nothing but dirt above him.
"Oh great! Am I buried alive?" Zhane wonders.
As if to answer his question, a light suddenly pierces the darkness. Zhane decides to follow it.
"Why not? It's better than staying here waiting for me to run out of air." Zhane thinks.
Zhane continues until he reaches a large room. He can't see anything cause of the bright light after being in the dark and unconscious for awhile. After his eyes get used to it, he finds himself looking at what looks to be an ancient holding area for weapons. Most of the ships look badly damaged and beyond repair. He walks towards a dark corner of the room. Suddenly a light comes on in that corner and he sees what looks like a Zord.
"Hum? What's this?" Zhane asks.
As if to respond to his question the Zord comes to life and reaches it's hand down to the ground. Zhane reluctantly steps up onto the hand and gets lifted to the cockpit. Once he steps into the cockpit, the view screen comes to life. A strange person is on it but something seems familiar about him.
"My name is Auros. You have found my old Zord that I once used a very long time ago when I was the eternal ranger. If you are sitting her then I am probably in another form of existence. If you have found this then you are worthy to use this to help you and anybody that needs help." Auros says.
"Wow, another Zord?" Zhane wonders.
"Good luck and never misuse this. Take good care of her." Auros says that then the screen goes black.
"So now how do I get out of here?" Zhane asks.
The ceiling opens up to show daylight and the Zord comes to life. The Zord rockets into the sky and the sensors come to life. Zhane realizes that the ship is no longer on the planet.
"What happened to the explorers?" Zhane asks.
The Zord responds by scanning the nearby area. Brings up a picture of space with the ship under attack by the same ship they saw before.
"It looks like they are in trouble." Zhane says.
The Zord flies into space and intercepts the ship. Communication system comes to life.
"This is Zhane to the explorer ship. What is your status?" Zhane says.
"Zhane? Where did you get that ship or whatever it is?" Rio asks.
"I'll explain later. After we defeat this ship. Now what is your status?" Zhane responds then asks again.
"The ship attacked us on the ground and we were forced to leave. We have attempted to attack the ship but it's got some weird kind of natural shielding." Rio responds.
"Natural shielding?" Zhane wonders.
The Zord responds by showing a scan of the ship armor. It appears to be made of a living creature. The creature absorbs the energy.
"What shall we do?" Zhane wonders.
The Zord brings up some words that say that they should focus all their energy on the ship until the energy is too much to absorb.
"Rio, put as much energy to your weapons and fire all weapons on the ship. I'm hoping it might overload the armor." Zhane says.
"Are you sure?" Rio responds.
"Yes I am sure. The Zord told me." Zhane responds.
"Ah never mind. I know you will tell me later." Rio says that. Then the communication screen goes blank to be replaced by the scanning screen.
The Zord fires constantly onto the ship while the explorer ship does the same. The enemy ship returns fire and take out the explorer ships weapons.
"Come on Zord. Just a little bit longer." Zhane says.
The energy output of the Zord's weapons increases big time. Finally the weapons pierce through and go straight through the ship, blowing it up.
"Yeah, all right." Zhane yells.
The Zord makes a beep as if to celebrate itself.
"Now I don't suppose you could fit into the shuttle bay of that ship?" Zhane asks the Zord.
A scan of the shuttle bay comes up. Suddenly the Zord starts to change configuration and becomes more compact.
"This is Zhane. Coming in for a landing in your shuttle bay." Zhane says.
"Roger." Rio responds.
The Zord flies into the bay and lands. Zhane returns to the bridge for his report.
"What happened to you after the earthquake?" Rio asks.
"I hit my head and when I woke up I was in some underground tunnel. I explored it and found some kind of weapon cache. Everything but this Zord was too badly damaged. When I entered the Zord I got a message from someone named Auros. He told me that this used to be his Zord and to take good care of it." Zhane responds.
"Did you say Auros?" Rio asks.
"Yeah." Zhane responds.
"Auros is what gave the same rangers that destroyed the evil Astayanax power. He saved our ship. I think we can trust something that he used." Rio says.
Zhane nods.
"Sir we are getting a communication for the shuttle bay." The communication officer says confused.
"What?" Rio asks.
On screen Auros's face appears and begins talking.
"I know that Zordon's essence told you that you must find his predecessor. His predecessor is also mine. When he finds the power of both Zordon and I he will be unstoppable towards evil. His name is..." Auros says.
Suddenly the communication stops in mid sentence.
"No! What is his name?" Zhane yells.
"It appears that the communication has been damaged. That's all there is." The communication officer responds.
"Can you find it and repair the damaged area?" Rio asks.
"Probably in time." The communication officer responds.
"Then do it." Rio orders.
Later on Zhane is in his quarters looking out to the stars.
"I know you're out there somewhere. Whoever you are." Zhane says.
To be continued...
Next week Matt's temper will bring the ranger in major danger. And who was the masked ranger?
