Power Rangers Cyber #26: time is running out
Previously on power rangers…
"Who are you?" Janus asks.
"My name is Traitos. I am the leader of the 3rd fractured faction of the great Phalanx." Traitos responds.
"Third?" Joshua asks.
"I was once under the command of the dark core until you destroyed him. After that I formed my own
faction. But unlike the others, I don't believe in taking other cultures into ours. I believe in destroying
them." Traitos says.
-- --
"Did you get the data from the battle?" Traitos asks.
"Yes. I will upload everything we got." Jarod says.
"Good. I said that nobody defeats me and gets away with it and I meant it. I won't rest until I have the
head of the Masked Ranger on a pike." Traitos says.
"Yes my lord." Jarod says bowing.
-- Power Rangers Cyber: the rebellion. --
"Are you okay?" Janus asks.
"I'll be better once you free me." Matt responds.
Janus frees Matt and they both run to the corridor.
"Do you have any idea where the other rangers are being held?" Janus asks.
Suddenly a laser blast hits Janus in the back and knocks her down. Behind her holding the just fired blaster
is Matt.
-- Power Rangers Cyber: madness --
Matt is standing over the still body of Janus. A bunch of grunts rush in with weapons raised but lower then
at the command of the general.
"It's okay. He's under our control now." The general says.
Matt just stands and stares.
"Now kill her." The general says.
Matt raises the power level of the weapon to kill and points it at Janus.
And now for episode 26…
The other rangers awaken in their own cells and look around in confusion.
"Wha happened? The last thing I remember we were on the Odin megazord just about to be destroyed."
Joshua wonders.
"Josh? Is that you?" Cynthia asks from the next cell over.
"Yeah it's me. Are you there Andros?" Joshua yells.
"Yeah I'm here." Andros answers.
"Well now that we know where everybody is, let's get out of here." Joshua says.
"Cyber ranger gamma." Joshua says.
Nothing happens.
"What the? They must have some kind of dampening field preventing us from morphing. Now we are in a
pinch." Joshua says.
Matt and Cynthia tries but with the same results. Matt comes running into the cellblock with a weapon.
"Come on guys. Let's get out of here." Matt says.
"How did you get out? Oh never mind. Where's Janus?" Joshua asks.
"She's gone. They got her." Matt says sadly.
Joshua bows his head down and sheds a tear.
"Another one is lost. We need to get out of here and home while there are still some of us left." Joshua
says.
"Agreed. Matt can you get us out of these cells?" Cynthia asks.
"Yeah I observed the entry code the guard used to come check on me." Matt says.
He steps up and pushes some buttons and releases Joshua. He then does the same for Cynthia and Andros.
They all rush out but are stopped by Matt pointing his weapons at them and a bunch of grunts rushing in.
"Matt? What are you doing?" Joshua asks raising his hands.
"Serving my new master." Matt drones on.
"Snap out of it Matt. You don't serve someone as evil as the Dark core. You serve good." Cynthia yells.
"Don't bother. He's under our control. We conditioned him back when he was held captive." The general
says after walking in on the group.
Suddenly the ship they are on shakes violently. A grunt runs in.
"Sir we are under attack by Traitos's forces." The grunt says.
"Send out all available fighters to stop him. He will not destroy my lord. Not now, not ever." The general
says.
The grunts all run out of the room and leave the general.
"Kill them." The general says then runs off.
Matt prepares to fire.
"No please. Fight the control. You are more stronger then any mind control." Cynthia yells.
Matt still doesn't lower his weapon but it starts to shake. Matt's eyes start to waver.
"Yeah I know the real Matt is still in there. Fight it. Don't let us die also." Joshua says.
Suddenly Matt turns the weapon on himself.
"No!" Cynthia yells as she Joshua and Andros rush to stop Matt.
"I am weak. I wasn't able to stop them from taking control of me. I don't deserve to live." Matt says.
"No that's just the control making you say that again." Cynthia says while inching closer.
Matt shakily lowers the weapon and throws it to the ground. Joshua jumps at it and throws it clear.
"It's gonna be okay. We will get out of here and get home." Joshua says.
"If only Janus was still here." Cynthia says sadly.
"Janus is still alive. They made me tell you that to soften your hope. But she is in danger. They are
torturing her for information on her home galaxy." Matt says.
"Why would they care about our home galaxy?" Joshua asks.
"They would if they wanted to invade it. I overheard that they planned to invade our planet. I don't know
why though." Matt says.
Joshua and the others look stunned.
"Who cares what the reason is. If it is true then we need to get out of here and get home while there is still
a home to return to." Joshua says.
They rush out to the main corridor.
"If I can remember right, we took Janus down that way." Matt says pointing down a corridor.
They run down the corridor and blast any grunt that gets in their way. They hear Janus screaming in pain
somewhere in front of them. They eventually rush into a laboratory with Janus strapped to the chair and
the doctor standing over her. The four don't waste any time blasting the doctor. They then free Janus.
"I hope they took the ship and docked it here. It's the only way we can escape." Joshua says.
Matt leads them to the airlock and finds the ship. They enter the ship and power up the systems.
"Did you give away the location of earth?" Matt asks looking at Janus.
"No. I came close though." Janus says.
Joshua is looking at the console with a sick look to him.
"The data files. The location of earth. It's been accessed. They must know where earth is now." Joshua
says.
"How are we ever gonna get home in time to save the earth?" Janus wonders.
"For now let's just get out of here and hopefully escape the battle out there." Joshua answers.
The ship undocks from the station and pulls away from the station. Almost immediately the ship is
pounded upon by weapons fire.
"They aren't wasting any time." Joshua says.
"Oh my god. Where's Andros?" Janus asks.
"I thought he was right behind us. I was so busy getting to the ship that I didn't check to see if he was with
us still." Matt responds.
"Something must have happened to him." Joshua says.
"But what?" Matt wonders.
Meanwhile on the main ship of Traitos, Andros finds himself in a round well-lit room. The door on the far
side opens and Traitos steps through it. Andros pulls out his staff and puts it in a defensive stature.
"Well well well. It's the guy that was able to defeat me. Excuse me, I mean almost defeat me." Traitos
says.
Traitos takes out his own staff.
"Masked Ranger power." Andros says.
"Yeah that's it. I want to see the full extent of your power without your horse to fight for you." Traitos
says.
They fight and the staff clash over and over. Andros gets in a few blows with his staff but it barely fazes
Traitos. Traitos gets in a blow with his staff and it nearly tears Andros's head off. Andros collapses to his
knees.
"Oh yeah that's it. Bow to me." Traitos says.
Andros suddenly pulls a surprise move and knocks Traitos's knees out from under him. Traitos falls on his
back and Andros immediately is on top of him with his staff about to crush Traitos's throat.
"I am not gonna kill you. But if you don't leave me and my friends alone I will kill you." Andros says.
Andros stands up and walks away from Traitos. Suddenly Traitos jumps up and fires a tremendous beam
of energy from his staff that hits Andros head on.
"Arghhh." Andros screams in pain as energy flows through his body and armor.
Suddenly the armor explodes into many pieces and Andros is back to his normal self.
"I'll let you go cause you beat me and chose to spare me. But the cost is your powers. I said I would
destroy the Masked Ranger and I have." Traitos says.
Andros puts his staff away and bows. He disappears and reappears on the ranger ship.
"Andros. Your okay." Cynthia says with surprise.
"Not really." Andros says looking down at his terribly cracked mask.
After a short while the space station is evacuated and the Dark force ships retreat. The ranger ship and the
Traitos ships part ways. Suddenly Dale appears on the bridge with a strange man.
"Dale?" Joshua asks.
"I'm sorry that we deceived you. I am among a group of beings known as the judges. We put anyone that
passes through this sector in a series of tests to prove their worthiness." Dale says.
"But why?" Matt asks angrily.
"So that their greatest wish can be fulfilled." The stranger answers.
"You mean…" Janus starts to answer.
"Yes. We can help you get home now. By helping you know the secret to what you call hyper-light speed
jumping." Dale says with a smile.
"Oh my god. Thank you." Janus says crying with happiness.
"So all that about you being from our galaxy was a lie?" Joshua asks Dale.
"No that was true. I did come from your galaxy. I was taken from there by the other judges cause they
deemed me worthy to join their ranks. I seem to have fulfilled their expectations." Dale says looking at the
stranger with a smile.
The stranger moves his hands and something happens to the data banks of the ship. Joshua rushes over to
the screens.
"It's all here. How to execute a hyper-light speed jump. We can do it." Joshua says.
"Thank you." Janus says.
Dale and the stranger nod and disappear.
"Let's go home." Janus says.
"No there is one more mystery that has to be solved first." Andros says.
"What mystery?" Janus asks puzzled.
"The mystery as to why we survived the destruction of the Odin megazord." Andros says.
"Let's return to the area of the major space battle and search for any sign of the megazord or mighty horse
or both." Janus says.
The ship takes off and shortly stops at the same location of the battle. Joshua begins his scans.
"I am picking up the mighty horse on the nearby planet." Joshua says.
They all land on the planet and find the remains of the mighty horse.
"It's completely destroyed." Janus says.
"It saved us." Cynthia says.
"Goodbye my friend." Andros says sadly.
"Only for now." Janus says.
"What?" Andros says looking up.
"This mighty horse was from the future. There must be a time when the future Andros meets the present
day one. You will see him again some day." Janus says.
"Your right. Goodbye for now my friend." Andros says.
They all walk away and board the ship. The ship lifts off leaving behind their savior.
To be continued in three weeks…
In 3 weeks the 1st part of the explosive series finale. But first starting next week is the 2-part finale of the
search for the chosen one mini series.
Zhane and the explorer ship will face a challenge that very well might destroy them all or mean the end of
our galaxy.
