Power Rangers (Morphin and Space): Dark Warrior Chronicles

Part 9: And so he saved the day. twice. but why?

By: Ronald Delval Darthvegeta800@yahoo.com

Things were going badly, very badly to say the least. . The Power Rangers were facing three monsters who had them on their knees. Three months had passed since the confrontation with both the Shadow Rangers and their leader Dark Warrior, the Darkest Knight.

Billy: That Icar creature is a formidable foe. . I can barely dodge his crystalline explosive projectiles. Kimberly: I'll give you a hand! Here this'll stop him! POWERBOW! (fires) Billy: It doesn't affect him! And neither does my powerlance! (strikes 3x but he is blocked every time)

Icar, a crystalline monstrous warrior wielding an indestructible Crystal staff has beaten the Ranger attacks back several times already. The latest assault doesn't seem to affect him either.

Icar: How amusing, now look at how it should be done! (strikes with his lance) Billy: No! Aargh! Kimberly: Billy! Why you. Icar: Ooh shut up! Here take this. Stinger Barrage!

Out of his body are fired dagger-like crystals that explode on contact.

Trini: I'll stop you! (prepares to kick)

The projectiles hit Trini and Kimberly.

Kimberly: Yaaaaa! Trini: Aaaa! Icar: You see. you're no match for me!

Meanwhile Zack faces an Ice monster.

Zack: Ya, ya!!!, ya, ya , ya! Damned what does it take to stop you I kicked you. ung!

He gets hit by an icewave and becomes frozen solid.

Frost: How amusing, Ranger on ice! HAHAHAAAaaa Jason: Zack! I'll take you down for this, I swear it! Frost: Me and my two brothers are unbeatable! Jason: We'll see! (hit, dodge, hit, hit, hit, dodge, hit, dodge, dodge, blow, kick, blow) Frost: Enough! Here! (swings staff and stabs) Jason: Missed! Ung! (smacks into the ground and drags forth towards a wall) Rhino: Not quite!

Rhino, a huge armoured monster build like a tank and an expert triple horned rammer dominates the small Rangers easily with the supportfire of Icar and Frost.

Tommy: Don't give up Jase! I'll give you a hand. Sabba come to me! (blow! Kick, punch, punch) Trini: I'll help! Icar and Frost: Oh no you don't! (both fire) Trini: Missed me and now. thack! Gotcha! (jumpkicks) Icar: Why you.!

Meanwhile on the moon. The Warrior Shadowzord hovers around the moon and Ronar teleports to Zedd's palace on it's dark side.

Ronar: Goldar I have returned. . Goldar: Dark Warrior? You live! But how. I mean. . We thought you were dead. Ronar: Only severely wounded that's all! But now that I have healed I wish to continue my battle with the Rangers. . Goldar: . Alright come with me to Zedd's throneroom.

The last of the Shadow Rangers enters the throneroom. Clad in his dark armour, wearing his cloak and with face hidden behind a terrifying helmet the putties quickly step out of the way. The winged Goldar leads the way. Dark Warrior makes a fist with his gloved hand, Zedd might turn on him, not forgiving his failure or worse steal his powers! And than there would be no revenge and no destiny! But he has no choice the bounds with Zedd may only break if he is betrayed by his master. That is his code, his honour.

Zedd: You have some guts returning here Dark Warrior! Ronar: Milord I am sorry I disappeared but my wounds were grave and. . Zedd: No! Excuses! You'll die! Ronar: ! Goldar: But milord, Dark Warrior may still be of some use to us! Zedd: The reactivation of that ring he uses cost me a lot of energy and he hasn't payed me back! My monsters. . Ronar: .Are winning because Tommy and Kimberly still haven't completely recovered from some of their wounds. I witnessed their battle before I arrived here. Thanks to me and my Shadow Ranger teammates they are weakened. They won with luck but next time revenge will be mine! Zedd: No! It's my genius that created those monsters! I would have won even without you. aaargh! KILL HIM! Goldar: Milord? Lord Zedd: You heard me. kill him! Putties attack! Rito, you and your Tengu Warriors go get him! Goldar. Goldar? Goldar: . Ronar: Attack Goldar or you'll suffer your master's wrath! I can handle myself! (draws blade) By Ragnarok my Dark Katana, my Shadow Katana! YOU'll pay Zedd! I must have my chance and if you stand in my way. . (strikes several putties down) You'll pay for it! (hits Rito Repulsa and two Tengu Warriors) Lord Zedd: I'll get you for this!

Dark Warrior counters a blast from Zedd and counters a blow delivered by Goldar.

Ronar: Warrior Shadowzord open fire!

The Warrior Shadowzord, still in his spaceshipmode aims it's laserturrets at the fortress and fires. The building trembles and as the ship passes by, Dark Warrior jumps off the balcony into his vessel.

Zedd: Fly after him Goldar, Tengu's! Get him! Goldar: Too late Lord Zedd! He's gone. headed for Earth! Zedd: What's he up too? Goldar: Revenge on the Rangers probably and. on you milord. Zedd: What! He wouldn't dare! NOOOOO!

And thus the Warrior Shadowzord set course for Earth. .

Ronar: My friend, Warrior Shadowzord activate the viewscreen and show me the Rangers.

The battle was shown and it was clearly raging on even worse than before.

Trini: My leg, he froze my leg to the ground! Billy: My lasergun will break it! Trini: Careful or I'll loose my foot! Billy: Don't worry. (fires) Trini: Free, thanks Billy.

Icar however attacked and hit both of the Rangers at the same time.

Jason: I can't hold him off much loner Tommy! He's like a tank. (slashes) Rhino: You know it! (stabs with his horns) Tommy: Don't give up bro! (cuts diagonal) If I had only been recovered I'm sure I'd be off more help but I'm so slow because of.aaaa! (hit by Rhino) Jason: (jumps in front of Tommy) Don't worry I'll go down before I let him kill you!

And Kimberly. she was held in the icecold grip of Frost.

Frost: Your friends won't save you this time. aaaaaaaaa! Kimberly: (freed, falls on the ground) Who? Frost: Who did that! (terrible wound on back) Ronar: Not a friend saved her. but an enemy and guess what you're my enemy too! Kimberly: Ronar?

On top of the building he stood with arms crossed, back straightened and chin up. He didn't wear his cloak and in one hand he held Ragnarok and in the other his electrowhip.

Frost: I'll turn you into an icecube! (fires ice-energy) Ronar: First learn to aim! (ducks to dodge and than jumps up, descending onto his enemy. The Dark Katana glowing with purple energy) Frost: What? No! Noooooooooooo! Ronar: Die! (stabs with his glowing blade, Frost falls and explodes) Dark Warrior immediately turns towards his next foe. His electrowhip paralyses Rhino and as he draws him closer he finishes him off with his blade.

Rhino: No this can't be! AAAAAAA! (explodes)

Dark Warrior now turns towards Icar.

Ronar: As for you. hehehee . Icar: You killed my two brothers, you'll pay for that! Raaaa! DIE! (attacks with his lance ready for use) Ronar: Honour means victory!

The two pass each other but only Icar falls down and explodes.

Ronar: The Darkest Knight has returned!

Kimberly: Ronar? Thanks for. Ronar: Skip it! I killed them to have my revenge on Zedd. He betrayed me and so his monsters had to go but don't for a minute think I will kill you all when the time comes. . Now that I have learned to control my powers better I will not go down like last time we fought! 'till we meet again Rangers!

Kimberly: Ronar wait!

Ronar teleports away. .

Tommy: So is Ronar with us or against us? Billy: Both! Now to defreeze Zack. Guys aim your blasters! Jason: Fire! Zack: About time I got out of there!

On the moon.

Zedd: NO! He cost me victory! No, no, nooo! Rita: Calm down dear I'm sure. Zedd: What! Rita: . nothing .

Two weeks later. .

The Thunder Megazord was disarmed and the White Tigerzord severely damaged.

Rose: My Rapier will impale you all! Jason: Boost the power! We will win! Billy: It's no use. watch out here comes another blow! Rangers: Aargh (shaken)

The Thunder Megazord falls and is unsummoned to recharge it's power. The Tigerzord meanwhile blocks several blows with his scimitar but the Rose is fast. The monster duellist called 'The Rose' grabs the Tigerzord by the head and lifts it up as Tommy's Zord runs out of power.

The Rose: Game over mighty White Ranger!

The Rose let's go and aims it's sword at the cockpit of the Tigerzord.

Voice: Enough! The White Ranger is mine! The Rose: Who dares.? Voice: I dare! Me! Dark Warrior! And let me present you the Warrior Shadowzord in it's Robotmode. The Rose: Another one? I'll destroy it!

The black robotic warrior of Ronar however counters all the attacks with it's katana and counterattacks.

The Rose: How? This cannot be! (stab, slach, block, attack, kick) Ronar: Oohh yessss.

The Warrior Shadowzord blocks most of the attacks and grabs the Rapier of the Rose. He than fires with the cannons and rocketlaunchers that appear out of it's armour!

The Rose: AAAAAAHhhh! Ronar: You fought well and with honour therefore you death will be quick and painless. The Rose: No! Don't noooooooo! Ronar: Power of the Warrior's blade! For honour and power! I sentence you to death! (the Warrior Shadowzord empowers his blade with energy and kills The Rose with one superpowered blow)

Than the Warrior Shadowzord turns to the Tigerzord.

Ronar: Since your Zords are no match for mine I will face you all on the ground. I challenge you all to a duel! Tommy: If that's truly what you want. . Ronar: It is.

Both leave their Zords and send them away. The Power Rangers gather in front of the arrogant Darkest Knight.

Kimberly: You saved us. again! Thank you. Ronar: Have you considered my offer? Kimberly: What do you mean? Ronar: Will you join me? Kimberly: I can't. Ronar: Will you leave the Rangers and leave? Kimberly: I can't. Ronar: Than you've made your choice. You side AGAINST me! Kimberly: No. I. I. I. I. Tommy: Kimberly silence, you can't make him chance his mind. We must fight him, defeat him and. . Ronar: No you won't. I will win and kill you ALL!

On the moon.

Zedd: This proves to be interesting indeed. Yes. . Goldar is everything ready? Goldar: The machine is ready but Dark Warrior. he. . Zedd: Is our enemy and will die also now go and take Zuqos and some Putties with you! Goldar: As you wish Lord Zedd.

On Earth. .

Dark Warrior draws his blade. .

Ronar: No more mercy, no more whining agreed? Tommy: As you wish. Ronar: You can attack all together or one by one. it matters not. Today I will prove that I'm the strongest by killing you and than I will depose Zedd. I'll bombard his palace and destroy him. Kimberly: Please. Ronar. Ronar: Honour means victory, victory means life and defeat equals death!

Dark Warrior attacks with his blade held high and his cloak moving on the wind, the warrior clad in black descends upon the Rangers, firing a blast with his free hand. The Morphin Era is nearing to an end for Ronar. soon he'll have to choose. .
