1 Power Rangers (Morphin and Space): Dark Warrior Chronicles
1.1 Part 5: Prisoner of war
1.1.1 By: Ronald Delval Darthvegeta800@yahoo.com
The Dark Warrior, once known as Ronar and Kimberly, the Pink Ranger move through the tunnels.
Kimberly: Are you sure we're going the right way?
Dark Warrior: I'm not sure… let go, I can walk by myself. (stands up and walks a bit slowly but with steady pace)
Kimberly: You heal fast.
Dark Warrior: …
Kimberly: Why don't you join us? Together… .
Dark Warrior: Don't start… betraying the master is dishonourable besides I do not wish to join… your kind.
Kimberly: My kind? What about MY kind?
Dark Warrior: Weak… pathetic and much to talkative, now get a move on.
A savage roar can be heard in the distance.
Kimberly: What is it?
Dark Warrior: A mutant… .
Kimberly: A what?
Dark Warrior: A toxic mutation caused by Lord Zedd, Pink Ranger.
Kimberly: But…
Dark Warrior: … (ignores the Pink Ranger and keeps walking)
Meanwhile… .
The Shadow Rangers still fight the Power Rangers.
The Red Ranger and the Red Shadow Ranger cross blades while Jason tries to convince the Red Shadow Ranger to stop the battle and to go look where their friends are.
Dark Red: After we've killed you guys, we'll bring your heads to the Shadow Ranger.
Jason: But what if they're wounded?
Dark Red: The Dark Warrior will survive and he will have killed your pretty little Pink Ranger too!
Jason becomes enraged upon hearing these words and cuts the evil Ranger.
Dark Red: Is that all? (stabs and hits the Red Ranger)
Jason: Hungh! You will never win.
The other Good Rangers are standing their ground against the other Shadow Rangers while Tommy faces Goldar and the Putty Patrol.
Goldar: Stand still White Ranger! I'll cut you down!
Tommy: No… thanks.
Goldar: Get him Putties! (Fires at Tommy, while Zedd's putties attack Tommy)
On the moon, in the Palace of Lord Zedd…
Zedd: Everything is going as planned, soon the Rangers will be at my mercy! I unleashed a mutant that'll kill the Pink Ranger and than will aid the Shadow Rangers, victory is assured.
Rita Repulsa: I heard that one before.
Zedd: What did you say?
Rita: Nothing, nothing my dear.
Zedd: Toxicus must have found the Pink Ranger by now. Attacked by my mighty Dark Warrior at one side and Toxicus at the other, nothing can go wrong… ..
Kimberly felt the creature come closer and closer.
Dark Warrior: Toxicus, the mutated monster is near… .
Kimberly: ?
Suddenly Dark Warrior grabbed the pretty Pink Ranger.
Kimberly: What? No! Traitor!
Dark Warrior: …
Toxicus appeared, a slimey mutated frog, a savage warrior armed with claws.
Kimberly: Aii!
Toxicus: Mmmmhhh… This'll be amusing… . Hold him tight master.
Dark Warrior: Sure… . Heheheheheheheee.
Kimberly: (morphed but unable to escape Ronar's iron grasp) Please, you can't do this to me. It can't end like this. Don't you see? You're destined to be a Ranger.
Dark Warrior: Oh yesssss… this is about destiny and I am already a Ranger, the mightiest, a dark Knight… the greatest of warriors. Now be still and face destiny with pride.
Kimberly: Powerbow!
Dark Warrior: Oh no you don't! (tightens his grip)
Toxicus: Time to die pretty little one! Energy Drain!
The tongue of the mutated warrior stretches and penetrates Kimberly's suit and her clothing, sliding between her breasts towards her belly, where it touches her skin. And the suit. The Morphing power of the Pink Ranger is drained.
Toxicus: Soon your power will be mine and than, my tongue will unleash acid upon your soft and smooth skin. And suck the blood out of you.
Dark Warrior, the mightiest of warriors ever under Zedd's control, now, in the past and in the future, looked away as the Pink Power Ranger screamed out in horror, pink energy floated into Toxicus, faster than it could be replenished, soon Kimberly herself would be sucked dry of LIFEFORCE and her body absorbed.
Toxicus: Yummie!
Kimberly: Ung… noooo! I will resist, I will resist… .
Toxicus: Resist as much as you want, I'll have your lifeforce soon enough.
Dark Warrior felt weird, this was not right, he could not let this happen, but neither could he fail his great master. Both paths led to dishonour… unless… .
Toxicus: Ten seconds more and your powers will be deactivated for recharge and I'll be able to start with your delicious body.
Kimberly resisted but she was loosing her will to fight… .
Meanwhile in Ranger H.Q. …
Zordon: Things are turning out for the worst. Toxicus has been sent down to Earth to aid the Dark Warrior. Now Kimberly must face the ultimate warrior together with a lifesucking mutated monsterwarrior.
Alpha 5: Quite a mouthful isn't it?
Zordon: This is not the time for jokes Alpha! If Kimberly goes down, the remaining Rangers will be even more outnumbered.
Alpha 5: Oh no! Ai Ai Ai!
On the battlefield… .
Dark Grey: die Black Ranger (fires a grey blast with his Scimitar of Evil)
Zack: Ung! Yaaah! (falls back wounded)
Billy: Damn, why did my evil alter ego have to be so fast (Dark Blue dodges all punches and kicks)
Dark Blue: Pathetic!
Dark Yellow: I've got you now Yellow Ranger!
Trini: (cough cough) (gasps for air as Dark Yellow holds her neck with crushing strength.
Dark Red: What's up can't you defeat the second in combat of the unbeatable SHADOW RANGERS!
Jason: Hyaaaa (slashes but his opponent counters and kicks) Ung!
Dark Red: Hehehehehee… .
Dark Yellow: We're winning once again.
On the moon…
Zedd: Rito! Go aid Goldar in his fight against Tommy!
Rito: As you wish oh evil one!
And Rito teleports away, leaving Zedd behind, seated in his throne.
Meanwhile Tommy has hit the last Putty in the Z symbol, leaving only Goldar and the Pink Shadow Ranger to face him. Nonetheless, the odds are completely against him. And to make matters worse, Rito Repulso arrives, sword in hand.
Goldar: Let's get him!
Dark Pink: Right! Scimitar of evil!
Rito: I'm with you Goldar!
Tommy: Man don't you guys ever give up?
Dark Pink: Nooo!
Goldar: Hehe (slashes)
Rito: You're going down Tommy (stabs)
Dark Pink: Victory to Zedd! (cuts)
Tommy: Heyaa! (jumps back)
Tommy and his three opponents clash with great power.
In the underground tunnels…
Toxicus smiled pervert. His fangs radiated and his lifesucking tongue was almost done draining the Morphing Coin.
Dark Warrior remained motionless. Kimberly was stuck between horror, intense pain and ecstasy. She no longer resisted, her body had given in although her mind resisted.
Kimberly: You'll… pay… for… this… Toxicus. And… you… too… Ro o o o nar… you… have no… honour… .
Toxicus: Oh stop your whining, we've got you, now face death with dignity and… (grins) in silence.
Dark Warrior: …
Kimberly: We made a deal… I trusted you… .
Dark Warrior: Irrelevant.
Kimberly: (moans)
Toxicus: Hehehehe. Five seconds and her Morphing pow… AAAAAAAHHHH!
Dark Warrior let Kimberly go and pulled the tongue. Toxicus fell. Kimberly was freed, her Ranger suit repairing the damage it had suffered. Dark Warrior drew his Dark Katana.
Dark Warrior: Honour means victory! Victory means life and defeat equals death!
Toxicus: Traitor!
Dark Warrior: No! I promised to get her out of here and after that I'll bring her to Zedd. But she will not die at your hands monster! Run Pink Ranger! And pray I do not catch you after this battle.
Kimberly: But?
Dark Warrior: LEAVE!
Kimberly ran away.
Dark Warrior held his katana high. Both hands held the long grip of the ultimate sword.
Toxicus extended his claws. His body protected by scales, forming a thick shell-like armour.
Dark Warrior: You're despicable. You have no honour.
Toxicus: Traitor!
Dark Warrior: I gave her an honourable chance, I was honour bound to return the favour. Besides she won't escape me. As for you….
Dark Warrior dashes forward and comes down onto Toxicus. The blade is countered by the vicious bladelike nails of Toxicus.
Dark Warrior: You die! For I despise what you are!
Toxicus: You will not defeat me!
Both warriors exchange blows. Dark Warrior is hit by an upward slash. He is sent back.
The Dark armour of Dark Warrior does not show any signs of damage.
Toxicus: You will die now Dark Warrior, you cost me my dinner.
Dark Warrior: …
The two warriors charge up and fire energyblasts towards each other.
An explosion follows. Smoke hangs in the area.
One savage cry can be heard.
Toxicus: Noooooooo!
Out of the smoke, a dark figure strides. Purple suit, black gloves and boots, dark armour and demonic helmet. The Dark Katana hanging against his left hip, Dark Warrior has won.
Dark Warrior: And now my beautiful princess… now I will come for you. I have no choice… the hunt is on!
With these words, Dark Warrior disappears into a tunnel.
On the moon… .
Zedd: The Power Rangers are almost defeated! Victory is near!
Rita: Hurraaaah!
Zedd: ?
The command Center…
Zordon: Toxicus has been destroyed but how?
Alpha 5: Dark Warrior saved Kimberly.
Zordon: Yes but he still wants to take her prisoner. Things are more complicated than I thought. This Ronar… who is he?
Alpha 5: Maybe we should search the database and our scanners?
Zordon: Yes, do that Alpha. The Rangers are loosing. Even if they stall, the outcome will be victory for the Shadow Rangers as long as they're strength is greater than that of our Rangers.
Alpha 5: And Kimberly can't be teleported away or teleport herself away, the rocks seem to jamm all matter transfer. Ai Ai Ai!
The Shadow Rangers have pushed back the Rangers. Tommy is knocked down by his opponents but the other Rangers form a living shield around the White Ranger.
Jason: We need Thunderzord power!
But he is interrupted by the Red Shadow Ranger.
Dark Red: We must leave, orders of Zedd, Dark Warrior will face your zords with his Warrior Shadowzord when he returns. See you guys soon!
Shadow Rangers: (laugh)
The dark coloured teleporting beams dissapear into space, returning to Zedd's palace on the moon. The Rangers stand there motionless. Suddenly the communicators are activated.
Zordon: Bad new Rangers… .
Tommy: What's the problem?
Alpha 5 : Kimberly is in the hands of Dark Warrior. And we've got more news too, return to the H.Q.
Tommy: Understood!
The Power Rangers disappear into the distance.
A few minutes earlier… .
Kimberly ran like hell. Light appeared in the distance. The tunnel ended here!
She escaped.
Dark Warrior: Where do you think you're going?
Kimberly turned.
Kimberly: Oh no! I was so close.
Dark Warrior: Indeed, not bad… for a female milady. But it was all in vain. Please surrender without resisting, I do not like using violence against women.
Kimberly: I don't want to fight you. You saved me but… I will not let you capture me. Zedd must not win!
Dark Warrior: … (slowly draws his Dark Katana)
Kimberly: So you made your choice once again Ronar… .
Dark Warrior: For my enemies, I am DARK WARRIOR! (raises the weapon, energy surrounds the blade)
Kimberly: You're a man, I do not wish to hurt you. Let me go, I don't want you dead. You're a good man behind that black armour. And that cold warriorcode, that calculative mind. Your heart is full of light, I know it.
Dark Warrior: … (slightly lowers his blade) …
Kimberly: (stretches out her gloved right hand) Tommy used to be under Rita's spell, you don't have to serve Zedd.
Dark Warrior: I must to prove myself, emotion is weakness.
Kimberly: No it isn't, and you can be a great warrior too if you aid us. You mustn't serve… .
Dark Warrior: I'm a Dark Knight! I serve with honour! I follow the rules, the order! Order, honour, might and power are all that matter to me! (makes a fist, his black gloved hand held high)
Kimberly: Ronar… .
Dark Warrior: Enough! Surrender or be forced into imprisonment!
Kimberly: Why not kill me!
Dark Warrior: … I … I …
Kimberly: What's up, emotion troubling you?
Dark Warrior: ENOUGH! (raises the Dark Katana) CHOSE!
Kimberly: I chose to fight.
Dark Warrior: I expected nothing less from you. You are brave… and honourable in your own way, but also… foolish! Destiny is near. And you stand in my way, preventing me from reaching it. HONOUR MEANS VICTORY! (dashes forward and attacks the Pink Ranger)
Kimberly: Hyaaa! (dashes forward and attacks Dark Warrior)
The two warriors clash but agile Kimberly is no match for the stubborn and ruthless assaults of Dark Warrior. His endurance and power far exceeding hers, his warriorsoul driving him into sick battle perfection. Kimberly exchanges hits, blocks but is beaten down. Kimberly lies down, defeated, her powers deactivate.
Dark Warrior deactivates his powers too. One tear rolls over his cheek.
Blood dripped from Kimberly's front. Her shirt was ripped, yet still she tried to fight.
Ronar now bended over her, black piercing eyes, black hair and dressed in black.
He held her arms tight as she calmed down.
Dark Warrior: I'm sorry… but I have no choice.
Kimberly: Why?
Dark Warrior: …
Kimberly: (rubs away the tear on her opponents' cheek) A tear for… me? (slips into unconsciousness)
Dark Warrior: For you… but also for me milady.
He took her in his arms and strode away.
Kimberly woke up in the palace of Zedd. Tied to a wall in the throne room. The chains seemed unbreakable. Putties held guard. The Shadow Rangers and Zedd left.
The room was almost empty… almost.
Dark Warrior looked at Kimberly. Clad in his Rangeroutfit he stared at her, his helmet held with both hands. He looked at her, with his emotionless stare. But Kimberly recognised a flare of emotion behind his eyes. He was a man, a young man, not a monster.
Kimberly: Ronar… .
Dark Warrior: (puts on his helmet) No… not Ronar.
Kimberly: Help me.
Dark Warrior: I've taken control of my weakness once again, I've arranged your execution.
Kimberly: Ronar… .
Dark Warrior: The Rangers will soon be dead, everything is going as planned. Me and the Shadow Rangers will win! Hail Lord Zedd!
Kimberly: Please Ronar, listen to me.
Dark Warrior: NO! To you and y enemies, I'm known as… .
Dark Warrior turned. Inside him something stirred. But he controlled the emotions. He was a Dark Knight he was… .
Dark Warrior: … DARK WARRIOR!
And Dark Warrior stepped away. He disappeared into a corridor.
Kimberly was left alone. Her only hope was a man with a heart half black, half light… .
The future looked grim as the Dark Warrior led his Rangers back to Earth aboard the Spaceship, the Warrior Shadowzord. The Rangers were in for a huge battle. And Putties entered with a weird machine… could things get any worse?
