Author's Note- The Ultimate Change continues with this tale involving Aisha, formerly the Yellow NinjaRanger. This takes place in the first couple of days following the Beginning of Power Rangers ZEO.
New Rangers- and The Sailor Of Love
By Dale Speer
Aisha finished her tour in Africa, helping her people cure the plague there, and returned to Angel Grove for some well earned rest and relaxation with her friends. She already knew Tanya was adjusting to her role as Zeo Ranger 2- Yellow very well, and looked at seeing her friends at AGHS in a couple of days.
Ashalla, her Grandmother, had passed her a Second Pendant, and asked for the first one back. This pendant had a heart with a plus sign at the end of it. She told Aisha that she didn't remember who gave it to her, but she said that she would know who to give it to- that the person would be special. She was fingering it when she landed at Angel Grove International Airport.
Her friends met her at the airport and drove her to the park, where they had a picnic set out for her. She enjoyed the company of her friends, and the time they shared. But unknown to her, she was about to come to destiny- and return to the battlefield. She would become showered in love from her friends and family- and that will awaken a power within her.
On another flight landing at AGI, were 4 of the first 5 Rangers- one of them already endowed with her Sailor Half. At the Peace Conference, everybody knew about the sudden appearance of the WarriorMaiden known as Sailor Mars- only the Rangers knew that she was really the former Ranger named Trini Kwan.
And she knew that there were other Sailors coming besides her and Angela- who just last year became connected with destiny as Sailor Jupiter. Trini was carrying a PetCarrier with her- which contained a black cat she knew as Luna, and she was being generous with her information.
And on the moon, inside the new MoonBase of the evil Machine Empire, King Mondo and Queen Machina, along with their son Prince Sprocket, was watching the 5 former Rangers arrive- then it shifted to the park, where Rangers present and past were gathered for conversation, basketball and frisbee, and food. The sight of that made Mondo's gears grumble in discontent. But he had no inkling of the fact that 3 of the friends gathered were either Sailor Scouts- or was going to become one of them.
"Ooohhh!" he fumed, "I don't like those Rangers. They're having a good time, playing, eating and talking about present events. I only wish I could stop them!" "There, there, my darling," his wife consoled him, "You'll run your Oil Pressure too high."
"Still, I wish I could get them on this day," he grumbled- then came up with an Idea. "We'll attack them tonight- when they're sleeping, we attack them when they least expect it to." "Yes, your Majesty- and I have the perfect monster for the job," Klank, his MajorDomo, told him, "Meet NinjaCog!"
"Yes, Klank!" Mondo said, "NinjaCog works in darkness- the Rangers would least expect a Ninja-style attack." Preparing a Group of CogSoldiers into Black Armor, they waited until midnight to begin.
That afternoon, the ladies of the Rangers- Aisha, Trini, Kat, Kimberly, Tanya and Angela- met in a secluded area of the park, after lunch, to discuss what's been happening. In a quiet way, Trini and Angela let the secret they've held from them out- that Trini was Sailor Mars and Angela was Sailor Jupiter.
When Aisha said that she was very happy for them, all of them showered her with hugs- and that's when it started, hearing in her mind, "You are the one"- and all of them perked up to that voice from inside Aisha. It was then that Trini looked at her friend's pendant- and Raye reacted to the look.
The voice within Aisha said, "You are the one of LOVE- recieve your Destiny," and Raye's Spirit said, "That's the Symbol of VENUS- can it be that Aisha is Mina's Keeper?"
Later that night, Rocky and Aisha were catching up on things. Suddenly, one star to the west of them grew in brightness until Aisha was showered in bright light- and awakened a Spirit inside of her. Fainting of the brightness, she fell and Rocky carried her to his home.
She woke up with Rocky, Trini and Angela standing beside her. Shaking off the cobwebs, her first words were, "What am I doing here? Where am I?" It was then that Rocky pointed to the hallway mirror- and she took the first look at herself. What she saw shocked her.
She was decked out in a School Uniform from Japan, same as Raye and Lita. The difference was that her uniform was white with a blue skirt and bows. Her hair was long like Raye's- but a Golden Blonde.
She was feeling the same way when the 2 of them found out they were linked to Sailors- and she was getting interested in the tale. When she asked them to reveal their other sides, they were only too happy to oblige. But just then, Rocky had an unusual message transmitted- an attack to draw the Rangers out into battle at night. Going back to the 4, he apologized- then walked out the front door, just as a white cat snuck in.
NinjaCog was just starting his attack against the Zeo Rangers, bashing them with his attacks. And the Rangers were out of it, because of their weariness. So Zordon immediately called for a strategic withdrawal to rethink their strategy.
"I didn't expect Mondo to attack at night- his NinjaCog just gave us a shellacking we'd never forget," Tommy told him. "Yeah- the rest of you wasn't coordinated enough- I was the only one who was fully in it when it started," Rocky told them.
"I was glad you wasn't hurt in that," Zordon told them, "But what I'm wondering is, where were the Sailor Scouts when we needed them?" Rocky was going to open his mouth then- but decided to keep it shut, a wise precaution- because a new one was going to come into the fold this night. And he wasn't going to ruin it for her.
Mondo and his family was rejoicing in the retreat of the Rangers. NinjaCog was beating the city's citizens into submission- and no sight of the Rangers. Things were going just as they planned- but they didn't expect what was coming next.
At Rocky's home, Aisha was with Trini and Angela. She found it hard to believe that Trini was hit by a fireball, and Angela was struck by lightning- and both of them were found to be endowed with Sailor Spirits. And now- she was hit by a bright light from Venus, and Mina Aino woke up inside of her. When they heard stomping outside, Trini checked- and found the Monster the Zeo Rangers were fighting destroying the city, GIANT SIZED. She told them, and her and Angela excused themselves.
"I bet those 2 are going to try and fight that monster," Aisha thought outloud, "I wish I could join them." "Then why don't you?" a male voice said. "What? Who said that?" she asked, startled. Suddenly, the white cat jumped into her lap and sat. "Artemis? Artemis, is that you?" Mina asked for both of them. "Yes, Mina- it is me," he replied, "Aisha, would you mind if we walked out back?" So the 2 of them, in 1 body, walked outside where Rocky had his training equipment.
They found Trini and Angela changing their initial forms throught their Bracelet Units- into Raye Hino and Lita Kino. At the sight of this, her jaw dropped. "I know Trini to be a former Ranger, like myself, and Angela to be Zach's girlfriend," she said in complete surprise, "But I NEVER believed them when they told me they were Sailor Scouts. Now, after they did that, I believe them." "You wished you could join in with them- and fight this monster," Mina said in remembrance, "Do you still want to?" "Of course I do," she said, "I just don't know how." "Then watch them- for in what they do, you will be able to as well," Mina replied to her statement.
She saw them take out their StarPower Sticks- and what happened next astounded her. As Raye called out "Mars Star Power!" and Lita called out "Jupiter Star Power!", their forms changed from the 2 girls that Aisha saw in their School Uniforms- into girls wearing their respective Sailor Fukus, complete with the trimmings, jewelry and tiaras.
"This is all too easy," escaped the mouth of NinjaCog- before he was impacted with concentrated blasts of thunder and fire. "Who did that?" were the words he said before he felt the words of a spell woven together- "By the Power and Force of Fire & Thunder, MAKE US GROW!" He then saw 2 ladies- in different uniforms- marching toward him. "How can you be like me- giants?!" he told them, "I would think that you would have to fight me with battlemachines?!" "Where there is evil- be it in a Supernatural Monster or Evil Machine- you will find US there to battle it!" Sailor Mars started for them.
And on the Moon, inside the Machine Empire's base, Mondo was FUMING. He expected the Rangers to attack NinjaCog with the Super Zeo Zords- he didn't expect these 2 giant women warriors to damage him. "KLANK! Where did these 2 warriors show up from?!" he shouted.
It was then that an evil presence made itself known- Zoicite had returned, hoping to find Rita and Zedd trying to complete their job. Instead, she found 5 machines and soldiers marching here. "Where is Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd?!" she shouted, much to the chagrin of the Machine King.
"We chased them out of here- just who in the name of DARK SPECTER are you?" Mondo replied to her, anger evident in his voice. "I am ZOICITE- servant of Dark Specter's," she replied, "Who are you, bucket of bolts?" "I am MONDO, overlord of the Royal House of Gadgetry," he said, introducing his family to her.
"I had better watch these guys for Dark Specter," she thought, "Who knows what kind of trouble they could put the Rangers into." Seeing the monster on the viewscreen, she asked about it. "It is called NinjaCog, and it took out the ZeoRangers very quickly- but against these 2 woman warriors, it is on the losing side of the battle." She saw- and she was furious. "Sailor Jupiter- Sailor Mars- HERE?! This is getting to his nerves!" she shouted in anger, "Send down 3 Squadrons of your FootSoldiers to take them OUT!"
Inside the Power Chamber, they saw the 2 Sailor Soldiers winning against NinjaCog- and then saw the Cogs appear and start bashing them in the legs. "Rangers, I don't think that they will win with that happening," Zordon advised them. "You're right, Zordon," Tommy replied- then gave the call to go back.
Meanwhile, Aisha had anger building inside of her. She was hesitant to go back into battle- especially with her friends. But Mina and Artemis were building her confidence.
"Please, Aisha- if you don't take hold of the power in your hand, your friends will lose," Artemis was pleading with her. "Yeah- you're the warrior of Love and Beauty," Mina pleaded with her, "If they die, you can't bring them back." She finally saw what they were doing- and said, "What must I do? If they die, I don't know how to save them."
"Hold that stick in your hand above your head and say, 'Venus Star Power'," Mina said. So she extended her hand above her head and called out, "Venus Star Power!" The Power took the rest.
A strand of Stars surrounded her as her body turned into a swirl of energy. Once she got the look- she was dressed like them, in a SailorFuku with an orange skirt and bows, a Topaz in her tiara. When asked, she said, "I know my destiny now is to continue fighting- this time, alongside my predecessor and my friend!"
The Rangers were getting weary of fighting the Cogs- and were very much surprised when the spell, "Venus CrescentBeam- SMASH!" was called out, eliminating the remaining Cogs. They saw another SailorSoldier running to them- and the Rangers were pleased to see her. "Who are you?" Tommy was the one to ask.
"I'm Sailor Venus," she told them, then asked how the other 2 SailorSoldiers got to be so tall. So Artemis told her, and she did it- "BY THE POWER OF VENUS, MAKE ME GROW!" Equalling the power of her fellow Sailors, they brought out the weapons- the Mars FireSword, Jupiter ThunderLance, and her Weapons, the Venus PowerDaggers. By the time the battle was ended- including the Venus DaggerSlice- the monster was out of it.
And inside the Machine Skybase, Mondo was fuming- and Zoicite was gone. 3 SailorSoldiers now exist- and they're one away from finding out who bears the spirit of Sailor Moon. He cooled off and thought of new schemes to stop them.
And Inside the Power Chamber, a presentation is made- as Mina Aino gets her communicator and all of them, Rangers and Sailors, are debriefed. Luna was glad to see Artemis again- and they prepared for the Return of Sailor Mercury and the coming of Sailor Moon.
