Last time. . .
The Inner Senshi went on a quest for new powers by searching for Ninjor's temple. Unfortunately, they began to drop like flies. Meanwhile, Zedd and Rita begin their meeting with Beryl while their goon squads trashed Angel Grove Park. The Rangers morph into action, but got their butts handed to them on a silver platter. Meanwhile, with the demise of her friends, Usagi/Serena is greeted by a mysterious person, named Klotho, who challenges our heroine to a fight. What will be the outcome? What will become of the the meeting of evil-doers? Find out next!
Now on with the story. . .

In the Desert of Despair. . .
Usagi started crying again when she sensed a strange presence behind her and turned around to confront it.
"Get it over with already. I've been through enough as it is. Just be done with it so I can be with my friends again!"
"I am Klotho. And I have answers for you, but you must fight me first."
"Fight you? I'm downright mad enough to KILL you, you murdering b-tch!"
"Then do so already!"
Usagi makes a lunge for her, but Klotho teleports out of the way. Usagi finds a small rock and attempts to throw it at her, but in the words of Forrest Gump, "Usagi is as Usagi does," and she justs ends up throwing the rock into the sky and hitting herself on the head.
"Is that the best you can do?" taunts Klotho.
Usagi summons what is left of her power and produces the Ginzuishou. "I'll destroy you now, you monstrosity." Usagi makes like she is getting ready to release the energy of the Ginzuishou, but suddenly stops. She felt within herself that she couldn't do to Klotho what had happened to her friends.
"I can't do it. I'm not a murderer, like you."
"Would it suprise you to find that is not true?" asks Klotho.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asks Usagi.
"Follow me and find out."
"Why? A few moments ago, you were trying to kill me."
"That was a test, to see if you were worthy," replies Klotho.
"Take me to my friends!" demands Usagi.
Klotho waves her hand and a cavern appears on the side of a nearby mountain. They enter the cave, walk a ways, and walk through the wall. Usagi is suprised by the beautiful gardens that sort of remind her of home country of Japan.
"So, Klotho, what's your story?"
"Huh, I don't understand what you mean."
"I mean, why are you helping me?"
"I originate from this dimension, from the planet Inquirus, but I travel the dimensional barriers and help out those who need it. I remember one dimension where I aided a young man called Burai. An evil witch known as Bandora was threatening the world and was stopped by a task force known as the Kyoryuu Sentai ZyuRangers. She called forth this man and gave him the power of the green Dragon, and controlled him with the sword Hellfriede.
"Eventually, he turned against her and she exiled him to earth where I greeted him and gave him a musical dagger, the Zyusouken, with which he could call forth his Shugozyu, the Dragon Caesar. He only had 30 hours left to live and lived in a timeless Lapseless Room, but he still harbored a hatred for his bother, Geki. After a brief bit of destruction, he was freed from his evil spell and used his powers to correct the wrongs he had committed, working alongside his estranged brother and his brother's friends. He brought to them a key component in forming the ultimate god, Kyuukyoku Daizyujin.
"But enough of this story. We are here to take care of you, Princess Selenity."
"You, you know about that?"
"Of course, my child. Now let's hurry! Your friends are waiting."

At the North Pole. . .
"Zeddie, it's so cold here, why didn't we arrange for this meeting to be at our horrid, WARM castle," complains Rita Repulsa.
"Stop complaining, witch," says Lord Zedd.
"Walk this way," says Jadeite.
"You know," says Lord Zedd, "if Goldar were here, I know he'd make a crack at that remark."
"Like 'Alright, but I feel a little stupid'? Been there, done that," says Rita, waving her wand around.
"Watch where you waving that stick, Rita," complains Zedd.
"Well, at least I *have* a stick, Zeddipoo."
Jadeite, Zedd, Rita, Scorpina, and Finster enter a vast throne room, the likes of which none of them, but Jadeite, had ever seen before. They see in front of them an orange-haired woman sitting on a throne, waving her hands over a crystal ball.
"Oh great Queen Beryl, I have brought the one who claims to be your son.
"Very good, Jadeite," says Beryl. She turns to Zedd. "It is you, my son. Do you still have *it*!"
"Yes, mother." A dark amulet appears in his hand. "Is this what you meant, mother?"
Beryl gasps. "The Amulet of Mau! Your father's heirloom. I'm surprised you still have it, Ed. Mother knows you were never the neatest person when you were a kid."
"It's Z-E-D-D, my name is LORD ZEDD! And stop talking about that pitiful excuse for what you call a childhood."
"How dare you yell at your own mother, Zedd! And I remembered how you hated that short name. And you, you hussy!" she points at Rita.
"M-m-m-m-e?!? How dare you? I *AM* the empress of Evil."
"You wish, pitiful fool. Son, couldn't you have found a better wife?"
"You know, Queen Beryl, you sound like Master Vile, Rita's father, when he came for a visit two years ago," says Finster.
"You dare compare me to that miserable whelp!?!" yells Beryl.
"Now, now, mother dear, no harm was meant by that," says Zedd as he tries to calm his mother down.
"And that whelp happens to be one of the most powerful monarchs in the known galaxy. He's conquered the M-51 galaxy," gloats Rita.
"Shut up, hussy! If it hadn't been for those miserable sailor senshi and that Silver Crystal of Illusion, I would be ruler of this universe by now."
While the insults were flying between Rita and Beryl, Scorpina had moved off to a solitary corner and was giving Jadeite the eye. He noticed this and confronted her about it.
"Would you please stop staring at me?" asks Jadeite.
"Why? I like what I see."
Jadeite sweatdrops.
"What? Something I say bother you?"
"You hentai! Baka!"
"Come again. My Korean isn't the greatest, tehe!"
"It's Japanese and you know perfectly well what I said, you whore! I'm not interested in your attempt at flirting. Ugh!"
"Hey, can I get your pager number?"
Jadeite storms off.
"JADEITE! SCORPINA! Get over here *NOW*!" yells Queen Beryl.
"Yes, my majesty?" asks Jadeite as he rushes away from Scorpina.
"Yes, empress?" says Scorpina to Rita, while she tries to get a little closer to Jadeite.
Rita whispers to Scorpina, "Would you please stop trying to be lovey dovey to Jadeite? You're an evil warrior, for Satan's sake. You're not supposed to love."
"Boy, you're a killjoy," she whispers back. She then speaks out loud, "What do you want us to do, oh great Queen Beryl?"
"You will go back to Angel Grove and lure out the Sailor Senshi..."
"Hold on, mother dear," says Zedd. "The Machine Empire already took care of those disgusting, ugly, remarkable, incredible, talented. . .
Beryl and Rita both sweatdrop and yell "Hentai!" at Zedd. Rita also takes it a step further and bops Zedd on the head with her staff.
"Look here, hussy. You don't do that to my son, you hear?" bellows Beryl at Rita for hitting Zedd with the staff.
"Whatever!" screeches Rita.
Before Beryl can get off another word, and Scorpina can get off another pass at Jadeite, Finster interjects. "Um, sirs and madams, we seem to be getting off the subject here. The Senshi have already been eliminated and the Rangers are already engaged in a battle with the Tengas and Shadows and will be hard-pressed should we send them a monster or two to deal with."
"That is an excellent idea, Finster," says Beryl. "I'm glad to see there are at least some brains in this group, besides myself."
"Zeddie," whispers Rita, "How long do we have to put up with her?"
"As long as I had to put up with Master Vile plus a few millenia," Zedd whispers back.
"NO WHISPERING IN THE PEANUT GALLERY!!" yells Beryl. "Now, Finster, let's talk youmas a bit. . ."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the park. . .
"Guys, I think we're in trouble," yells Tanya.
"Let's keep it together," yells Adam.
"I'm getting a strange sense of Deja vú," says Tommy.
"Oh, I hope it isn't another Chronos Sapious Sphere," says Katherine.
"I think it's because we haven't really had much of a break between fights," says Justin.
"And it doesn't seem to be getting any easier," says Adam.
"This is almost as bad as when the Machine Empire sent Insomniabot to fight us!" exclaims Tommy.
"And it's about to get worst! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA-*gasp*-HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The Rangers turn around to face a monster the likes of which they had never seen before. It was gnarlish, a twisted face showing it horribleness. Red, wild hair covered the top of his head. It's skin was purple and glistened in the sun. One arm morphed into a scythe.
"I am the Reaper of DOOM, and it's your turn to get rubbed out!" it gloats.
Tommy points at the monster. "We've faced worst than you, gruesome!"
"Yesssss," it hisses, "But you've never faced a youma before. Your weapons will be useless."
"We'll see about that!" yells Adam. "Turbo Blades, everybody!"
A light starts spinning on the Rangers belt buckles and they bring their right, or in Justin's case the left, hand right above the buckles and their swords materialize in their hands.
The Rangers rush at the monster, slashing it with their weapons, but they don't seem to be making a dent.
"Is that the best you can do, pitiful Rangers? Let me show you my blade!" The Rangers try to move out of the way, but the Reaper moves faster than lightning and slices at the rangers, causing explosion to occur on their chest.
The Tengas and Shadows, who for the moment had been standing on the sidelines, now took advantage of this opportunity to gang up on the Rangers.
"Turbo Power Weapons!" yell the Rangers in unison. Each Ranger gets his weapon.
They beat away the Tengas and Shadows, and then turn their attention back to the Reaper.
"Tanya, you and me rush him. Everybody else, wait til we're clear than fire your weapons." Everybody nods at his plan. "Now, Tanya!"
"Turbo Lightning Sword!"
"Turbo Star Chargers!"
Tommy and Tanya rush forward and slash at the Reaper with their weapons. They don't even make a dent.
"Turbo Thunder Cannon!"
"Turbo Windfire!"
"Turbo Hand Blasters!"
Next, Katherine, Adam, and Justin aim their weapons and fire. Not even a scratch appears.
"Having trouble, pitiful rangers?" The Rangers hear a familiar voice and whirl around to see Zedd standing with Rita and a mysterious, red-haired woman.
"Zedd! Rita! What's going on here?" asks Tommy.
"Your defeat!" yells the red-haired woman. "At the hands of the Dark Kingdom! And Queen Beryl!"
"So you're Beryl? You don't look that evil!" yells Justin.
"Justin, looks can be deceiving," warns Katherine.
"That is true, pitiful pink pow'd'er puff! Watch!" yells Beryl. She shoots dark lightning from her fingertips and it crackles and explodes on the Rangers' suits. They are thrown back and land on the ground.
"Now, son, if you'd please," says Beryl.
"Right." Zedd and Rita put their wands together and yell, "Powers of evil and injustice, make our monster grow!" Lightning cackles. Soon there is a fifty foot Reaper rampaging in Downtown Angel Grove.
"We need Turbo Zord Power, NOW!" yell the rangers.
On a not-so-busy street, a section of pavement parts in the middle and slides open. In a underground garage, five sets of lights blink on and five turbo-charged cars race out.
The rangers teleport in and ignitiate the Turbo Megazord sequence. The Wind Chaser splits, forms arms and hands, and attaches to the sides of the Mountain Blaster, forming the torso section. The Desert Thunder and Dune Star race in front of the torso section and connect. They make a rapid turnaround and race toward the torso section, on which the front of the Mountain Blaster has split. The two sections connect. Finally, the Red Lightning slams into the back of the rest of the Megazord and all the rangers move to the command cockpit.
"Turbo up!" yells Tommy as he sticks his key into the ignition. The Rangers follow suit.
The Turbo Megazord assumes a vertical position and the head is revealed.
"Guys, let me try something," says Justin.
"Go ahead, man," replies Tommy.
"Artillery laser, FIRE!" The lightbar of the Mountain Blaser emits a stream of five colors (guess which ones :)) and hit the monster, but with no obvious effect.
"Turbo Megazord Saber! Turbo Megazord Spinout!" yell the Rangers. The Saber materializes in the right hand and the Megazord starts spinning at a fast RPM. They dash foward and slice through the monster.
Amazingly, the monster is still standing.
"Let me show you what all that pent up energy you've been throwing at me has done," gloats Reaper. A heap of armor appears on him and a flame thrower appears on his left shoulder. "Now take this!"
The flame thrower errupts with awesome energy and roasts the Megazord, sending it to the ground.
"Abandon Megazord!" yells Tommy.
"What, no "We're just going have to take that risk" speech, Tommy?" asks Adam.
"This is a different time, different powers, and I've learned my lesson. Now, let's go! Turbo Zords, return to the
hiding place."

Back to where we left the gruesome threesome. . .
"Yes, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, we're winning," gloats Lord Zedd.
"This is too good to be true, hubbie dear," says Rita.
"I told you my youmas were superior to your pitiful monsters," says Beryl.
"Only because the Power Rangers' powers aren't synched to the youmas," retorts Rita.
"Oh, shut up, Snita," says Beryl.
"What's the next move, boss?" asks Scorpina.
"The Destruction of Angel Grove and the World!" yells Zedd.
To Be Continued. . .
Next Time: What have become of Usagi and Klotho? How will this new monster be defeated? Will the union of evil really conquer the world? Find out next time!

Serena: Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is believing in yourself. Especially when your grades are--heh--less than stellar...Or you're kind of clumsy. But you never know what the real you can do. Set your mind and heart on it and anything is possible. ::giggle, giggle:: Bye now!
Bloopers: Scorpina and Jadeite start breaking out into laughter during that little scene; "I *AM* the director!"
yells an outraged Beryl at the author. The Turbo Zords just crash together.
