1.1.1 By: Ronald Delval Darthvegeta800@yahoo.com

1.1.1.1

The blast of pure power emitted by the Warrior Shadowzord send the Rangers tumbling back.

The damage was extensive. The Red Dragon Thunderzord knelt, keeping himself from falling thanks to his staffweapon. The White Tigerzord stood next to him, trying to keep himself from falling. His scimitar cut through air.

The Warrior Shadowzord attacked, it's Shadowkatana held high.

Jason: Watch out Tommy!

But the cry of the Red Ranger came too late. Hit head on, the Tigerzord was finished and dematerialised. Tommy, the White Ranger was send crashing towards the ground.

The Warrior Shadowzord turned and prepared to face Jason.

Dark Warrior: Are you ready Red Ranger?

Jason: Bring… it on!

The Shadowkatana came down but was blocked by the staff of Jasons zord.

Both Zords fired their eyebeams. The yellow beam of Jason was pushed back by the more powerful purple one, of Dark Warrior.

The Red Dragon Thunderzord was defeated and Jason managed to jump out of his zord.

The Zord lay motionless before disappearing.

Dark Warrior: Victory is mine! Heeyyaaaaaa!

And Dark Warrior jumped out of his Zord that transformed back into a spaceship, disappearing into the distance.

Dark Warrior, leader of the Shadow Rangers now faced the two wounded leaders of the Power Rangers.

The black armour and purple suit emanated power and Ragnarok, the Dark Katana held in his right hand. The helmet, horned and almost demonic seemed to gaze at them with it's own eyes.

Dark Warrior: Summon your blades Rangers so I can finish this with honour.

Jason: Yeah! (powersword appears in his hands)

Tommy: No! We must help the others.

Jason: …

Tommy: Jason?

Jason: …

Dark Warrior: Ready? Then this will be our final duel. (salutes with his Dark Katana) Yaaaa!

Jason: No not today!

Dark Warrior begins his assault but his mighty blade only meets thin air as the two Rangers beam away, flying to the aid of the other Rangers.

Dark Warrior: Blast you! (makes a fist) I know where you're going Rangers, you will not escape my might!

Dark Warrior teleports away, a purple – blackish beam following the white and red beams gone before him.

Meanwhile in the area around the Command Centre…

Trini (Yellow Ranger), Kimberley (Pink Ranger), Billy (Blue Ranger) and Zack (Black Ranger) face the Shadow Rangers.

Goldar and a regiment of putties and the remnants of the monster army are slowly breaching the gate that denies them entry into the Ranger H.Q. .

The Shadow Rangers, clad in the normal Ranger colours, Red, black (grey), pink, blue and yellow, but a darker version of the colour and wearing black gloves and boots have drawn their scimitars of evil.

Dark Red: Our leaders Zedd and Dark Warrior estimate your destruction to be soon. We will prove them right. Ready Shadow Rangers?

Dark Yellow: You got that right!

Dark Blue: We'll vaporize them!

Dark Pink: Time for some slaughter!

Dark Gray: Evil will triumph!

The five Shadow Rangers step forward, their evil looking helmets stand in contrast with those of the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.

But the Power Rangers refuse to stand down.

They summon their power weapons.

Billy: We shall not bow down to your evil (swings his lance)!

Kimberly: Yeah, you just wait 'till our friends return! (Prepares to fire an energy arrow with her bow)

Trini: Evil will loose once again. You soulless Rangers can never match our fire! (Crosses the blades of her daggers)

Zack: Enough chit-chat let's dance! (Take his axe with both hands)

Dark Red: Don't make me laugh! Shadow Rangers attack!

Trini: Let's get them Power Rangers!

The two Rangers group storm into each other. Each facing it's specific colour, the mighty Red Shadow Ranger cutting through the Power Ranger Ranks.

Kimberley jumps through the air. She fires her bow but Dark Pink dodges and deflects with her Scimitar of Evil.

Dark Pink: Pathetic! Now face my power! (fires a beam with her scimitar)

Kimberly: Haaaaaang! (She's hit and falls on the ground)

The two pinks exchange punches and kicks until the Pink Ranger is hit by a vicious uppercut.

Dark Pink: You can't win! (fires once again)

Pink Ranger drops once again. She rolls to her right to evade a vicious slash.

Kimberly: Man you got an attitude problem!

Dark Pink: …

Black Shadow Ranger crosses his blade with the axe of Zack.

The two Rangers exchange blows. The weapons clash and several kicks are exchanged.

Zack: Man you're not easy.

Dark Grey: But you are!

With an energy attack emanating from the scimitar, Zack is forced against a huge rock.

He barely dodges the stab forward and the scimitar plunges deep into the rock, destroying it completely.

Zack: Whoaaa!

Dark Grey: Feel the wrath of Red!

Zack: Red?

The Red Shadow Ranger comes falling out of thin air, hitting the Black Ranger with a charged blade. A huge Red blast sends Zack against Kimberley.

Dark Red: Let's finish them off!

Dark Grey: Okay!

Dark Pink: This'll be amusing!

Billy the Blue Ranger is pushed back by the Blue Shadow Ranger. Billy makes a circular attack with his lance but the scimitar of evil that his evil counterpart wields blocks it and with a right hook Billy is forced to drop his weapon.

A few kicks hit him real bad. Billy fires his blasterpistol but the ray barely hurt the Shadow Ranger.

Dark Blue: How amusing… you pitiful fool! Prepare to die!

Billy: Man, this is completely illogical, how can this entity possess such a massive amount of power?

The Yellow Ranger seems to have gained the upperhand, a wide array of attacks are unleashed upon her opponent but she tires. Her daggers hit the Shadow Ranger several times but she seems to ignore the attacks.

Trini: How?

Dark Yellow: How? I can dodge your attacks but I don't NEED to, they're so pathetic.

Trini: ?

Dark Yellow: Surprised, don't be I'm just starting! (raises scimitar)

Trini is hit several times by the evil blade and the enemy Shadow Ranger rams Trini, sending her crashing into the sand.



Dark Yellow: We will rule supreme!



Goldar watches the monsters fire upon the gate.

Eye Guy: I can't seem to breach the gate Lord Goldar.

Goldar: Is that so? (waves his sword) Continue firing monsters!

Pudgy Pig: Okayyyyy.

The group of monsters led by General Goldar continue to fire upon the steel doors, the gate of the Command Centre.

In the Command Centre itself…

Alpha 5: The surprise is prepared Zordon. Ai ai ai, I sure hope this'll work. From what the viewing globe shows me, the Rangers are loosing.

Zordon: Indeed, I hope my plan works. We need to buy some more time for the Rangers. The enemy is too numerous now.

Alpha 5: Ai ai ai

The Power Rangers had fought for a long time now but they were pushed against the outer wall of the H.Q. .

Billy: Damn we can't stop them.

Zack: Ung… that Red one is tough man I wish Jason was here… .

Kimberley: And Tommy to stop Dark Warrior and Goldar.

Trini: We need help and quick.

The Shadow Rangers surrounded the Power Rangers.

Dark Yellow: Finish them?

Dark Red: (nods) Yes, finish them.

All Shadow Rangers: (evil laugh)

Suddenly there is a teleporting noise behind the Shadow Rangers.

Dark Red: (turns) What !?!

Tommy: Guess who's back?

Jason: Did somebody call for help?

Trini: Jason!

Kimberley: Tommy!

Billy: Now it'll be a lot fairer

Zack: Yeah!

Dark Red: Oh no it won't! The leader of the Shadow Rangers has returned too! Look! (points towards the higher ground)

On top of it stands Dark Warrior with arms crossed, both his Dark Katana and his electrowhip hanging to his side.

Dark Warrior: Indeed, victory to the Shadow Rangers! Honour means victory!

Dark Warrior draw his Dark Katana and activates his electrowhip.

He jumps, landing next to his second in command, the Red Shadow Ranger.

Tommy and Jason jump too, landing among their friends.

Both teams, both whole now, face each other.

Each colour steps forward one step, facing evil or good counterpart wearing the same colour.

First Pink and Dark Pink take a step, they stand at the left.

Kimberly: This time it'll be different.

Dark Pink: Don't bet on it, I'm the stronger female.

Than on the outer right, Yellow and Dark Yellow step forward.

Dark Yellow: This time you won't escape your death!

Trini: Really? I thought I was going to beat the crap out of YOU!

Dark Yellow: Grnnrng You'll suffer…

On the right, Blue and Dark Blue step forward.

Billy: My logic will prevail.

Dark Blue: Like it did you any good last time, I'm going to break that pretty lance of yours into itty-bitty pieces.

On the left, Black and Dark step forward.

Dark Grey: My scimitar will soon drink your blood.

Zack: Not if my axe puts you down for good.

Then in the centre, Red and Dark Red step forward.

Dark Red: So you're the famous Red Ranger? Not much to look at. Only one can be the strongest.

Jason: Yep, and that'll be me.

Dark Red: Maybe… but far from likely.

And than the two leaders take a step forward. White meets Dark… .

Dark Warrior: Honour means victory!

Tommy: So there's no convincing you?

Dark Warrior: Victory means life!

Tommy: You really aren't much of a talker are you.

Dark Warrior: Only one thing counts… .

Tommy: And that is?

Dark Warrior: Destiny! Shadow Rangers to victory!

Tommy: The Power is with us Rangers! Together we'll prevail!

Dark Warrior: … (laughs softly)

On the moon, in his palace Zedd watches the battle.

Rita Repulsa: And?

Rito: Yeah! Are we winning?

Zedd: They don't stand a chance against my champions!

Meanwhile Goldar and his henchmen still fire upon the gate.

A bunch of putties and Tenchu warriors swarm around him.

Goldar: Damned how long will this keep going? (sword fires fireballs)

The Power Rangers meanwhile are locked in a fierce battle.

The Red Shadow Ranger and the Red Ranger duel it out in the most intensive of the duels fought in the confrontation. Dark Warrior and the White Ranger however have disappeared out of sight, hearing the blasts and explosions in the distance Jason estimates the battle to be even more heated.

Dark Red: Is that all you got 'mighty' Red Ranger?

Jason: You know, I really don't like your tone.

Dark Red: Feel free to do something about it.

Jason: Oh but I will, I will… .

They exchange the most difficult of martial art techniques while wielding their swords with deadly expertise. Jumping, running, dodging, attacking, defending, blocking, the battle intensifies and than suddenly Red Shadow Ranger opens fire with is Scimitar of Evil.

Jason: Ung!

Dark Red: Here have some more (fires) and more (fires) and more (fires) and more (fires).

Jason: Yaaah!

The Red Shadow Ranger laughs sadistically and approaches Jason who jumps up and attacks once again.

Dark Red: How?

Jason: I AM the MIGHTY RED Ranger!

Dark Red: For as long as you'll live! So for the next two minutes! Hyaa! (attacks with his scimitar ready)

The two Rangers clash and the battle seems still undetermined.

But the other Rangers already weakened, are pushed back once again. And while their two leaders have the power to fight on, theirs is slowly being drained.

Kimberly: Ung, I'm sorry guys! ( a final blow and she slips into unconsciousness)

Dark Pink: Victory! (raises scimitar in the air)

Zack: Damn, disarmed and aaaaaahh! (Zack falls down, defeated)

Dark Grey: Heheheheheheheee, That was fun.

Billy: What in heavens name can stop you?

Dark Blue: HEAVEN, if you're lucky! (A final blow defeats the brave Blue Ranger)

Trini: I mustn't give up… I… noooo… (falls down, exhausted)

Dark Yellow: Well that's that. Now shall we finish 'em?

The Red Ranger still stands his ground and the battle rages on.

Dark Red: You're tougher than the other vermin I'll give you that. Now prepare to surrender or die!

Jason: No, never surrender! I'll beat you in the name of the great power! Yaaaaahh!

The two warriors hit each other several times and than finally…

Jason: I must get up (gets up and raises his powersword)

Dark Red: Your strength is commendable but… futile nonetheless. (Counters a weak blow and cuts the Red Ranger, defeating him)

Jason: Must not… (drops and silence reigns over the battlefield)

Dark Red: Dark Warrior will be pleased.

The Rangers' powers disappears.

The Shadow Rangers gloat as they look down at their defeated and wounded adversaries, preparing to kill them all. Suddenly they teleport inside the H.Q. .

White Ranger attacks with Sabba, his talking scimitar and cuts Dark Warrior.

But the second blow is countered and the electrowhip hits Tommy.

The two warriors have fought long and hard but it is clear that the armoured Shadow Ranger is the more powerful warrior.

Tommy: What's you true name, for you are human aren't you?

Dark Warrior: Ronar is my name. And I am human but not of this world, in a…way.

Tommy: What do you mean?

Dark Warrior: Be quiet White Ranger!

The two lock into single combat once more, the battle reaches it's inevitable climax as Tommy launches a desperate last assault.

Dark Warrior fires with his Dark Katana, his free hand and his helmet. The White Ranger falls.

Tommy: It may not end here… .

Dark Warrior: But it will, it will… .

Dark Warrior uses his electrowhip. The energywhire stretches, binding Tommy and sending deadly power through his suit into his body.

Dark Warrior: Destiny is near! The final test! Yes!

Tommy: Nooooo! Aaarghhhhaaaaaaaagh! (suddenly he teleports away, into the Ranger H.Q.)

Dark Warrior: Blast! Zordon, you'll pay for this!

On the moon…

Zedd: Victory is near!



In front of the Command Center, Dark Warrior assembles his Shadow Rangers and the monster army. Goldar joins him too and together they prepare to blast open the doors leading to Zordons command room.

Dark Warrior: No door can stop my power. Ready… aim… ?

Goldar: Huh?

Dark Warrior: A trap? Maybe but I'll take the chance, follow me my great warriors.

The doors had opened and the Shadow Rangers enter, followed by the monsters.

Goldar: Finally Victory will be ours!

Dark Warrior sees Alpha 5 tending to the wounded Rangers, they are all unconscious or disorientated.

Zordon suddenly speaks and Dark Warrior turns towards him.

Zordon: You are an honourable warrior, why have you allied yourself to evil?

Dark Warrior: A chance to have real power, to prove myself as the greatest warrior, a chance to achieve my destiny, to show the perfection of my warriorcode and my strategic genius.

Zordon: Open your cold heart, you have the honour now you only need to let in the love and… .

Dark Warrior: Silence! Goldar take your men and tear this place apart, retrieve all that is useful. Shadow Rangers?

Shadow Rangers: Yes?

Dark Warrior: Yes, MILORD!

Shadow Rangers: Sorry, MILORD.

Dark Warrior: Eliminate those pesky Power Rangers and that robot. They may not escape again and no speeches, do it quick and efficient.

Shadow Rangers: As you wish milord. (turn towards the Rangers, grinning, giggling and laughing evilly)

Dark Warrior: As for you… Zordon.

Zordon: …

Dark Warrior: Lord Zedd, this is my gift to you! HONOUR MEANS VICTORY! Might is right! Zordon of Altare DIE for opposing my master, which I serve faithfully!

Dark Warrior activates his powers. The Shadow Rangers raise their Scimitars of Evil to strike down the defenceless Rangers.

Goldar raises his sword as he and his monsters prepare to destroy the H.Q.

Energy surges through the Dark Armour, lightning surges out of the Dark Warrior.

Dark Warrior: The great power will be Zedds and your body his price! DIE!

The Dark Katana charges up and prepares to unleash its destructive power upon a defenceless Zordon.

Dark Warrior: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
