Power Rangers (Morphin and Space): Dark Warrior Chronicles

Part 8: The Trump Card of Dark Warrior. Ultra Mode!

By: Ronald Delval Darthvegeta800@yahoo.com

Jason: You will go down! Ultra Ronar: If you say so Red Ranger.

The two duelled for several minutes. Ultra Dark Warrior played with Jason. Suddenly Billy attacked. Ultra Dark Warrior blasted him with his free hand and the Blue Ranger was thrown against a rock. An upward slash defeated Jason. Suddenly Tommy intervened. Sabba, his sword met the Shadowkatana.

Ultra Ronar: So you want to be next? You couldn't win when I was in my normal mode, now that I'm Ultra why do you think you can win? Tommy: Shut up! Shut up! (Kicks Ultra Dark Warrior back) Are you okay Jason? Ung !

Tommy is attacked by an unending vicious comboattack and driven towards the edge of a cliff. Sabba is bashed out of Tommy's hand and the White Ranger attacks again. This time in a desperation attack.

Ultra Ronar: Fool!

A beam of energy hits Tommy and with a scream he falls. The White Ranger's powers deactivared.

Ultra Ronar: Now White Ranger? Ready to meet your creator? Tommy: Ung (receives several punches and kicks, battered and broken he lies down) Ultra Ronar: Logic dictates I should kill you. but I see no honour in. maybe. ? (Dark Warrior turns and sees he foresaw correctly)

The other Rangers have summoned the deadly Megablaster Cannon and aim it directly at Ronar.

Ultra Ronar: Fools!

The Megablaster is fired and the beam flies towards Ronar but he jumps up. However Tommy grabs him and pulls him back down. Ronar takes the blast head on and both men are pushed over the edge. Tommy however is saved by Trini.

Trini: Got you! Tommy: Thanks!

Ultra Dark Warrior meanwhile tumbles down into the canyon. He hits the rocky surface.

Tommy: He would have won if he had killed me. Jason; He showed pity and we killed him. . I really don't feel easy about it and most importantly he was a man not a monster! Billy: He would have killed us on the end. It was. Kimberly: Destiny? That's something Ronar would say. Zack: Euh guys? Jason: What's up. we need to let Alpha look at Tommy's wounds. Zack: Guys. Jason: What! Zack: He. he. he. he. he's getting up! All other Power Rangers: Impossible! Jason: Summon the Megablaster!

In the Canyon. .

Ultra Ronar: Aargh I should have cut the throat of that blasted White Ranger when I had the chance. Now I am weakened!

Ultra Dark Warrior looks up and sees the rangers aim the Megablaster.

Ultra Ronar: ENOUGH! Revenge for my fallen comrades! I will undo their dishonour by impaling you all! ! ! !

Zack: Guys. he's pissed, really really pissed! Billed: Affirmative, your observation is correct! Jason: Aim at him! Kimberly: I am getting Tommy into the H.Q.!

Ultra Dark Warrior flew towards them, a purplish cloud of energy surrounding his lowerbody. Red, grey, blue, pink, yellow and purple lightning bolts shot out of his armor.

Ultra Ronar: DIE! Jason: Fire!

The beam shot straight towards Ronar but suddenly he disappeared, appearing behind the Rangers.

Ultra Ronar: Hello. everything okidoki? Jason: ? (turns) Billy: Instant short range teleportation? (turns) Zack: Why do the bad guys always get the coolest powers? (turns) Trini: Oh oh. . (turns)

A chest blast of pure energy hits the rangers.

Ultra Ronar: Take this Black Ranger! (slashes with his blade and disarms Zack) Zack: Here! (kicks) Ultra Ronar: Ha! (blocks) This is an attack (kneedash) Zack: Ung! Ultra Ronar: And now to get you out of the way! (grabs Zack by the throat and smacks him into the ground) Trini: ZACK! (Throws her daggers) Ultra Ronar: Ung! Why you ! YAAAAAAAA ! (fires lightning with his left hand) Trini: Yaaah! (falls) Billi: Taste my powerlance (stabs, blovks, stabs, blocks,.) Ultra Ronar: Not bad but now. ELECTRO WHIP! (the whip shocks Billy K.O.)

Breathing heavily he turns to Jason wielding the Mega Blaster. The fall had broken ribs and his armour didn't have the time to heal him. His Ultra Mode was wearing out. If he had not fallen than he would have won but now. . He felt blood drip out of dozens of wounds. His armour was scorched and the Shadow Ranger energy that was bestowed onto him was getting drained. They were loosing like the lost time but they were with more than him. They're powers had been renewed while his personal powers had not yet recovered from the contact with Zedd's draining beam. If only he could. off course! A thought struck Ronar's mind. If he blasted the computersystems in the H.Q.! Their powers would fade until the H.Q. was reactivated.

Jason: Surrender! Ultra Ronar: I am not going to. surrender is never an option! Yaaa! Jason: Fire! (the blast hits Ultra Dark Warrior) Ultra Ronar: Aarg! (ramms and stomps Jason) Jason: (falls)

Ultra Dark Warrior runs off wounded even more thanks to the Megablaster. The other Power Rangers still confused and wounded themselves waited to long to begin a chase. Ronar was pleased to find the entrance open as he entered and closed the gate. He entered the Control Room. The Rangers did not teleport inside so the seal was still intact. Suddenly his powers disappeared for a moment and his previous armour was visible than the Dark Warrior became Ultra again.

Ultra Ronar: I got little time.

As he entered the control room he saw the irritating robot tend to Tommy who was unconscious. Kimberly stood there with her back turned to him. But Zordon saw him as he passed the viewingglobe.

Zordon: Kimberly watch out, he's here! Kimberly: Huh?!? (turns) Ronar? Ultra Ronar: More or less. hehehe. . Kimberly: The others. . Ultra Ronar: Alive, more or less, hehehe. . Kimberl: Do not move or you will be killed. Ultra Ronar: Weakened and wounded as I am, you still are no match form me.

Ultra Dark Warrior charges a blast but Kimberly jumps into the beam taking the damage instead of the computersystems.

Ultra Ronar: Foolish girl! Kimberly: What happened to milady? Ultra Ronar: You are now nothing more than an obstacle! Kimberly: Really? Well than remove this so-called obstacle. Ultra Ronar: Fine with me!

Ultra Dark Warrior attacks. A struggle begins. A dozen punches and an equal amount of kicks are launched by Kimberly but they are blocked or absorbed by the iron will of the Darkest Knight.

Kimberly: You still fight? You're almost dead. how? Ultra Ronar: I. AM THE DARKEST KNIGHT. do you know why I am so strong. I ain't great at Kung Fu stuff nor am I experienced but my will is unbreakable, my mind razorsharp and my soul of a true warrior now. OUT OF MY WAY! (His combined fist slams into Kimberly sending her down)

Ultra Ronar steps towards the control panels.

But Kimberly turns and fires

Ultra Ronar: Arg! Why don't you quit? Kimberly: Because I am also strongwilled! Now give up yaa! (jumps onto Ronar's back) Ultra Ronar: I am running out of time. I must deactivate computers and kill others before I must recharge my power and the Ultra Mode leaves. (grabs Kimberly and throws her down)

Ultra Dark Warrior puts his power in a big blast. But as he wants to fire Alpha Five pushes him. The beam hits the ceiling. Pieces of steel and reinforced concrete start falling. An elbow puts the Robot off-line again.

Suddenly the Ultra Mode fades in and out. .

Ultra Ronar: No! Damn! Kimberly: What's up? Your strength leaving you? (attack and attack again) Ultra Ronar: No! Damned milady! (blocks, attacks, blocks, attacks, blocks, attacks, draws the Shadow Katana and fires) Kimberly: Oh milady is it? I thought I was a mere obstacle? (blocks, blocks, blocks, attacks, high kick, three punches, another combo-attack, dodges the fired beam.) Zordon: Lock disabled! The others are coming! Ultra Ronar: Die! (grabs her by the throat) I am sorry but. aarh what am I saying you are the enemy you MUST DIE! Kimberly: Aarh. .

Suddenly the Ultra Mode fades in and out again. His already weakened powers loosing their boost. Ultra Dark Warrior becomes Dark Warrior once again. Kimberly does a salto and frees herself. She kicks in mid-air and the Dark Warrior tumbles back. The attack continues but a depleted Dark Warrior fights on will alone. His last ditch effort on using his electrowhip fails as Kimberly dodges and hits him. The martial arts techniques unleashed on Ronar overwhelm him and soon he is only blocking Kimberly.

Ronar: Impossible! Kimberly: How does it feel to loose control for some one as mighty like you? Ronar: This can't. I am a strategist, I am mighty and honourable. how? Kimberly: You fight with the bad guys cutie and the bad guys loose from good. always! Ronar: No. (falls) Kimberly: (breathing heavily since the wounded Ronar was still immensely difficult to defeat) POWERBOW! Ronar: Finish it. give me an honourable death. . Kimberly: You really care for nothing but power and honour, might and control, logic and conquest? You are sad and I pity you. so noble yet so. sad. So strong yet so twisted. . So young and so. . Ronar: . (opens the lower vizor of his helmet and coughs up blood) Kimberly: I can't. you're already defeated. . You spared Tommy. I. . Ronar: NO! Kill me. It was mercy that got me here. I was foolish to spare him or save you! Today's defeat is my proof! It will never be over 'till you kill me! Finish it. Let me join my brethren. I have lived by y Bushido and now I must fight on in the afterlife. FIRE! Kimberly: . . . . . . . . Ronar: FIRE! ! ! Kimberly: . . . . . . . . Ronar: FIRE! ! ! Kimberly: . . . . . . . . Ronar: FIRE! ! ! Kimberly: . . . . . . . . Ronar: FIRE! ! ! Kimberly: NO! I won't (summons her powerbow away)

Suddenly the damaged roof came partially down.

Kimberly's legs and torso were covered in steel and concrete rubble. Her powers were deactivated. The other Rangers entered and halted as they saw Ronar gather his strength and aim for the computersystem.

Ronar: It's not the grid but it'll do. I'll win. I. I. crap. It wouldn't be an honourable victory. .

He turned and walked towards Kimberly. She looked up defiantly as he freed her from the rubble with his powerful arms. He lay her down and knelt beside her. The other Rangers didn't move.

Kimberly: You could have won Ronar. Ronar: (grinned) and loose you.

Kimberly: Removed his helmet. First he tried to stop her but she persisted and he let her remove the helmet. His hand touched her bloody cheek.

Kimberly: You're pale and young. but. interesting. (she ignored the wounds and blood on his face and kissed hom tenderly but passionately)

Ronar kissed back, for the first time. he kissed and smiled a happy smile not his trademark amused smile. He took his helmet and put it back on and stumbled back.

Ronar: Rangers. I WILL RETURN AND I WILL HAVE REVENGE! Kimberly: Ronar. no. . Ronar: I will return. milady. (The moutharmor slid open and he kissed her hand.) I love you. . (turns to Tommy and the other Rangers) I will win next time so prepare yourselves well. . (turns to Kimberly) Next time don't be present or join me. (turns to the other Rangers) HONOUR MEANS VICTORY!

And a purple beam teleported away. Only a puddly of blood remained behind.

Kimberly: Ronar. .

On the Moon.

Zedd: What happened and where's Dark Warrior?

In the Shadowzord, spaceship mode, a week later.

Ronar: So the Dark Warrior has healed. (draws his blade) Time to finish the conflict. one way or. the other.

The Darkest Knight was ready. a blaze of glory would soon ignite on Earth! For honour, for power, for Order and. Kimberly?
