sis? Thanks to Shadow Ranger for allowing me to use his COE storyline for
this. Alternate warning! Counterparts of the Rangers and Justice Leaguers
running around. To tell who's who, the COE Rangers are identified by their
Thunder Aspect of their Power, for example, COE Trini morphed is Griffin
Ranger, Kimberly morphed is Firebird Ranger...and so on. COE JLA is simply
Batman II, Flash II, Isis II...and so on. MMPR/JLA Rangers are simply
Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and the JLA from there is simply Batman, Wonder

SWEET JUSTICE/BITTERSWEET REVENGE by C.A. TURNER
Prision Sub-dimension, Stone Henge:
Minion had never intended to spare Justin's life. His time spent travelling through the numerous dimensions in search of Zords had revealed the threat Justin posed. In one Universe Justin had become a Blue Ranger of some description and had become the equivalent of Billy Cranston. Such an occurrence could not be allowed to happen in his dimension. Minion remembered how good it had felt to kill Justin the first time he had met him. He was certain that the second time would feel just as satisfying. He would never find that out.
A red and gold blur robbed him of killing Justin, as he started to push his fist into the base of the boy's neck. A high-speed right to the jaw ended any thoughts of that. While Minion was reeling from the blow, he saw the Flash speed Justin to safety.
"NOOOO! This is not happening! Where did these people come form? Bronzo, Brasso, Robo Troopers, DESTROY THEM ALL!" Minion bellowed, before drawing the Sword of Darkness to his side.
Isis then went to work by mentally scanning the Sword of Darkness. Being an Egyptian goddess of Earth elements and nature, she quickly created it's polar opposite, the Sword of Light. "SUPERMAN, CATCH!" Isis yelled, tossing the new weapon towards the Man of Steel, who then turned to face Minion. Then, the battle was on.
While this was going on, the Gem Coin Rangers were rescued by their counterparts, the Zeo Rangers. Getting their opposites into the safety of the TARDIS, they joined the fight, as the Morphin team and the Justice League went to work on the Robo Troopers, and Batman targeted Brasso. Bronzo was on Wonder Woman's hit parade. Soon, as Minion had screamed earlier, all heaven had broke loose. ***
Stone Henge, above ground:
The Full Aspect Rangers and the newer heroes quickly went to work against the various Z-putties, Tengus, skugs, cogs, Robo Troopers, and Parademons. Superman II had a field day with cogs, while the Firebird & Pegasus Rangers aided Wonder Woman II in Z-putty smashing.
Isis II and the Griffin Ranger trashed every Tengu they saw, while the Spider & White Tiger Rangers helped Green Lantern II polish off every skug in sight. "NEXT!" Spider Ranger chuckled.
Batman II, Red Dragon Ranger, and Unicorn Ranger used a lot of cunning, stealth, and skill in successfully finishing off their pack, the Parademons, while the Flash II and the Lion Ranger got every hostage safely away from the battlefield. "Any henchmen left?" Unicorn Ranger wanted to know.
"All hostages safely away from here, and bad guys trashed...for now. What's next?" Firebird Ranger asked.
"That all depends on our friends in Minion's Prison dimension...and if they finish off that turkey once and for all." Green Lantern II stated. ***
The sub-dimension now looked like war zone...with Minion's forces on the losing side. Minion was being dealt a humiliating loss, as the heroes were trashing every one of Minion's henchmen. Billy joined Superman in fighting Minion himself. Billy had warmed up by fighting a rejuvenated Psycho Blue...the former Biilly. The Morphin Rangers were fighting revived Psycho counterparts...and dealt them another asswhipping.
"You're mine, Red Ranger, and guess what...I CHEAT!" Psycho Red bellowed, charging towards Jason at breakneck speed. In contrast, Jason seemed to take his own sweet time, almost moving in slow motion, using his opposite's own speed against him. As a result, Psycho Red's slash was sloppy...and completely harmless. Jason just made one economic sweep with his sword...and took Psycho Red's head off.
"Here's a soundbite for you; You cheat...you die. From the wit and wisdom of Jason Lee Scott. Share it with your friends."
"So, you're my opposite. I'm better than you in every way." Psycho Pink snarled.
"Sweetie Darling, the only one who can make that claim is Wonder Woman...and you ain't her! Now shut up and dance!" Pink Ranger growled, throwing a very effective haymaker, confusing her Psycho opposite.
Kimberly quickly followed that by stealing the Psycho's bow, and aimed between her eyes, sarcastically asking in a little girl voice "What does this do?"
TWAAANG! KAAA-BOOOOOM!
Pieces of Psycho Pink's armor were raining down all over the place. As it did this, Kimberly gleefully snickered, imitating Tweety bird, "Aww, poor little Psycho Pink. She fall down, go BOOM!"
Psycho Black was bellowing "Hey, Black Ranger, anyone tell you payback's a mother." He didn't get much further. A well placed uppercut from Zack shut him up, followed by insult to injury. "Heads up, my brother, 'cause here comes another!" adding a quick, painful kick to the.family jewels.
"That's it! You're mine!" Psycho Black had had enough, calling his axe. Zack, however, was ready, and grabbed the handle, breaking it, and rendering it useless. "Sorry, son, but we've got a world to save.and you and your boss are in the way!"
All it took was one upwards swing from Zack's Power Axe.and Psycho Black's return was over before it even began. "Aww, he lost his head again. Too bad."
"Yellow Ranger.I'm taking you out!" Psycho Yellow shouted, throwing her daggers.
"Well, let's get it on, 'cause I'm getting bored. You think you're better than me? Prove it, bitch!" Trini smiled, and snatched them out of the air, then smashed them both under her heel.
"My turn, sweetie darling!" Trini completely caught her double by surprise, throwing her chakram instead of her daggers. It did one hell of a job on the Psycho's armor, laying it to waste. The chakram continued to do it's damage, leaving Psycho Yellow completely vulnerable.
After putting the chakram back into it's hiding place, Trini leaped towards her, daggers at the ready. 2 slashes later, Psycho Yellow lay dead at Trini's feet. "Lights out, bitch!" Yellow Ranger snapped.
Psycho White and Tommy didn't say anything at all. Instead, they just started going at it, tooth and nail, kicks, punches, blocks, slices, and jabs flying. Psycho White tried to use his version of Saba, but it was kicked out of his hands by the faster White Ranger, who sent it flying into a wall, and smashing it to pieces. Tommy then used a roundhouse takedown, and one swing from his Saba. Psycho White was soon nothing but recycled junk.
Psycho Purple was expecting either Tanya or Aisha, with nunchucks, and got ready for that. So when the Purple Ranger didn't do anything, the psycho charged, saying "Well, Tanya, I see that you saw the light and gave up. I'll make your death quick and merciful."
"Thanks for caring, but I'm not Tanya."
"Aisha, then. Either way, you're mine!" Psycho Purple charged, but as she did, the Purple Ranger ducked to the right, grabbing the nunchucks as she did, yanking them from the psycho's hands.
"BTW, honey, just so you know in your final moments of life, the name's Samantha. It's been fun, but your time is done!" Samantha then fired 2 shots from her slingshots, sending concussive, deadly blasts towards her opposite, making her fly through the air. One more shot ended the fight, blowing Psycho Purple to smithereens.
Psycho Green looked around cautiously. He didn't see a counterpart for him, but that didn't mean there wasn't one. He didn't have one. He had three. Three Green Lanterns, one of which was giving Psycho Blue his final, painful moments, then sent him to his end, via a ring-crafted guillotine. The other 2 GLs had a face off with the Psycho. Not knowing what a Green Lantern was, He got his broadsword ready.
Kyle Rayner looked at Hal Jordan, and asked the veteran GL "How stupid is this fool. Why are we wasting any real effort on this pathetic turkey?"
The insult had the desired effect. Psycho Green angrily, blindly, and mindlessly charged the pair, falling right into their trap, more precisely, a pair of green cast iron walls, which they sped together.and smashed him to bits.
Wonder Woman went to work against the Bronzo. Bronzo had taken out scores of Rangers on other planets, destroyed entire armies, and put countless warriors in their graves. He had a long career of pain and death. It was about to come to an end.
Bronzo crafted a laser cannon, and fired at the Avenging Amazon. She deflected each shot back with her bracelets, sending them right back to the source. Pounding him mercilessly, she didn't even give the Bronzo any chance to breathe, much less come up with an effective counterattack. One final punch later, Minion was minus one footsoldier.
Brasso was expecting an easy fight with Batman, so he just armed himself with a scimitar, thinking him to be the weak link among them. He was wrong, and would regret that decision for the rest of his life, which was only going to be 5 seconds.
The Batman just seemed to melt into the darkness, while Brasso tried to charge in, blindly ready to crush his opponent, not realizing one thing.
Brasso tried to induce fear.
The Batman is fear.
Brasso charged towards a shadow in the darkness, into his doom. Seconds passed, then the Brasso emerged.only to crash onto the ground with a sickening thud. The Batman emerged wearing something that was rare for him.
A smile.
Superman & Minion traded blows and clashed swords, Light and Darkness ringing throughout the Prision sub-dimension. Minion tried to gain the upper hand, using both the Sword of Darkness, and his anger at the Tommy of this dimension to give him strength. Didn't matter in the least.
Having polished off Psycho Blue, Billy joined Superman, using a ring- created sword and his own skills as a fighter. Minion took a look at Billy's costume and asked "Why is it that everything on your outfit that is supposed to be white, green? What's the reasoning for this?"
In answer, Billy thrust his ring upwards.and dropped a 2-ton anvil on top of the would-be destroyer. Talking to Superman, Billy said "Odds are, he'll survive.but still, that's gotta hurt!"
Sure enough, Minion survived.in severe pain, left arm broken and out of commission, legs barely functioning, and a stream of blood gushing from his nose through a destroyed mask. "You'll pay for that! Billy, be sensible. Why serve for a group of people who don't appreciate you? Why not forsake the forces of good and join me in ruling this universe and destroying Tommy?" Minion tried to appeal to Billy.
Angrily, Billy answered "1) I have no reason to kill Tommy. He is a friend.
2) I am not a clone, nor will I ever be.
3) While I wear this ring, I am sworn to defeating and ending evil. And most importantly.
4) I will never serve evil, and I will be DAMNED if I ever do such a thing. You are nothing to me, Minion. You are less than nothing. You lose. We win. It will soon be over." And with that, Billy fired a blast of green energy at the Sword of Darkness, utterly destroying it.
With the Sword destroyed, Superman glared at Minion. Normally, he would never even think about killing someone, but Minion was too deadly and dangerous to go free, and if he did, he would definitely kill again. Minion was evil personified, and had to be stopped.
Sword of Light at the ready, Superman took deadly aim at Minion, and swung with all of his might, delivering the final, killing blow.
The look on Minion's face said it all as the sword made it's final blow. Screaming in both fear and failure, he then fell to the floor, and died.
Isis quickly joined both Superman and Billy. "We won't have to worry about him any more, but we still have to deal with what he left behind." The goddess stated. "Wait. What's coming out of him?" Billy asked.
The Fifth Doctor came over, and saw this, as part of a rainbow-colored light came out of Minion's corpse, shined upon him, and then fled the dimension. The Doctor quickly explained "It is the power of the Time Lords, of Gallifrey itself. Free from Minion, it's going back through time, to repair Gallifrey." As he spoke, he, indeed, seemed to get stronger.
As Isis stated, there was still the matter of the Robo Troopers, the stolen Zords, and the Gem Coin Rangers. The damage had been wreaked, and they still had to deal with that.
As for the emotional scars on the Gem Coin Rangers, Kat, Tanya, Rocky, Adam, David, Jamie, & Trey went to help their other selves deal with this. Meanwhile, Nightwing, Troia, & GL Kyle Rayner were finishing off as many Robo Troopers as they could, while the Flash ransacked Minion's computer base at lightspeed. Finding out which weapon or zord went where, Flash took this information to the Doctor, who got each item back to it's proper place in the timestream.
Smiling, the Doctor spoke "Gallifrey is whole once more, and will soon stabilize and become it's old self again, along with the Shadow Grid. However, we'd best leave this place. With Minion gone, we'll soon have another Castrovalva on our hands.
"Wait. Zeo Frog and I were talking, and we found these. I think they're called 'Beetle Bonders.' He's got the Beetleborgs bound up here somewhere." Adam revealed.
In response, Kat and Zeo Crane came in with 3 unconcious children. "These must be the Beetleborgs. They were almost dead. I can't stand this jerk." Kat frowned.
"In any case, it's time to leave. Morphin, Zeo, and Gem Coin Rangers, Justice League, and Titans, everyone, back into the TARDIS, NOW! This whole place is about to come tumbling down around our ears!" GL Hal Jordan yelled. Within minutes, everyone was aboard the TARDIS, doors closed, and it faded from the sub-dimension, just as it started to collapse. ***
Materializing on the grounds of Stone Henge, the other Rangers & heroes quickly entered, the doors closed, and it faded away just before the media could descend upon them. ***
Materializing back at the Power Chamber, intros and explanations were made, as both Billy and the Unicorn Ranger discovered that Minion had stolen some items from Dr. Destiny from an alternate universe where there were no Power Rangers: a Nightmare Machine broken into 6 components, and a gem that controls dreams, a Materiopticon. The Materiopikon was hidden somewhere in Denmark, while Billy was trying to make sense of the other clues he had received.
"What did it give you?" Batman II asked him.
Billy spoke up "Here they are.
.the birthplace of the American Dream.
.the land of celluloid dreams.
.the birthplace of flight.
.the city that never sleeps.
.the Great White Way of broken dreams.
.I have a dream.
.and we already knew about the Materioptikon. It made reference to a debating prince. In any case, these clues translate into the locations of these machines. And I know where the 1st machine is! '.the birthplace of the American Dream!' Philadelphia, PA.! Now for the other clues." Billy yelled.
"Yeah! The land of celluloid dreams! Hollywood, CA!" Zack, Kimberly, & Wonder Woman shouted as one.
"And the Birthplace of Flight! Kitty Hawk, North Carolina!" Flash II added.
"The city that never sleeps.Las Vegas, Nevada!" Trini, Kat, & Isis spoke.
"The Great White Way of broken Dreams.Broadway, N.Y.!" Nightwing smiled.
"And 'I have a dream' has to be the Lincoln Memorial, where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous sermon at the end of the march from Selma, AL, to Washington, DC! It has to be!" Batman finished.
We'd best figure out who goes where later. We need some rest. Superman spoke up.
And rest they did. The worst was over. But the danger was still there.
The next day: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The heroes had decided to start looking for the dream machines. Trini, Tommy, Zack, Kimberly, Hal Jordan, Wonder Woman, and Batman were on the grounds of the historic Philadelphia Court House, the place where the Declaration of Independence was first signed.
"Hal, scan the grounds. Make sure we don't have any unwanted suprises springing out at us." Batman cautioned.
"Scanning now." Hal spoke. After 1 minute, he said "Ring says all clear."
"Good. That means there's nothing to stop us from finding this thing, and getting in touch with the others." Zack finished.
"I hope so. But since Minion was behind this, and since these items were stolen from Dr. Destiny, I'd still keep my guard up. From what I got from him, Minion wasn't the type of person to leave anything to chance." Wonder Woman stated.
