Chapter 8: Obtaining the Power
As the creatures attacked, the Ninjetti Rangers did their best to fight back. It was soon apparent that this would be no easy task.
Adam kicked one in the head. When he saw the futility of his effort, he said, "These things are made of rock!" Justin, now on the ground, leapt to his feet and kicked another in the head. He tried again, but this time, the creature caught his foot. He tried to throw the youngest Ranger to the ground, but Justin flipped while in mid-air and landed on his feet. "These guys are strong," he said as it swung its mace at him.
Adam tried to back away from one as it swung at him with its two blades. He was backed up against a mountain as the creature swung at him with one blade. Adam moved and the blade hit the mountain, giving Adam the opportunity to kick it in the back. He then began to clime the mountain as the creature gave pursuit.
Meanwhile, Jada avoided another creature's mace and back flipped to another mountain. She began to climb the when she tripped on a vine. This gave the creature enough time to catch up with her. She got up and began to clime the mountain with the creature close behind.
Kat and Tommy faced off with another. Tommy asked, "Shall we double-team?" "Let's," answered his wife. They then proceeded to simultaneously kick it in the head. As it stumbled back, Kat grabbed its free arm while Tommy snatched its club from the other. Kat ducked and Tommy decked the creature. As it fell back, Kat leaped up and kicked it hard.
Tanya avoided another creature as it swung at her with its mace. She then realized she was close to a cliff with a lake below. As the creature swung at her again, she leaped over it.
Aisha was being chased by another, who was swinging at her wildly. She fell to the ground as she avoided one attack. The creature tried to hit her while she was down, but she rolled out of the way. She stood and said, "Back off, boulder-breath!" kicking it in the head. "Uh oh," she said when she realized she'd only provoked it further. It continued to give chase.
Jada was still trying to get up the mountain when she tripped again. The creature chasing her tried to hit her when she was down, but Jada rolled out of the way. She kicked it, got back up, and continued to climb.
Adam was still running from the one chasing him. He soon stopped when he saw he was at a dead end. He managed to squeeze his way around its swinging blades. "Hang tight, Adam!" said Tanya as she climbed a vine. Adam rolled between the creature's legs, giving Tanya the opportunity to pounce on it with a clothesline. However, this caused Tanya to go over the cliff. She grabbed a vine to keep herself from going into the river. "Adam!" she yelled. "Hang on, Tanya!" he said as the creature began focusing its attack on Tanya, swinging it blades. She moved her left hand to avoid being hit. "Hey, lava-head!" yelled Adam from behind. The creature turned and Adam kicked it in the head, causing the creature to fall into the river.
Adam pulled his wife up. She said, "Thanks, Adam. I thought I was finished." They watched as the creature seemed to melt away as if the water were acid. "That's one down," said Adam. "And four to go," finished Tanya.
At the same time, Kat and Tommy continued to ambush their opponent. Kat kicked it and Tommy slammed the creature's club into it. It now teetered near the edge of another cliff. Kat leaped up and kicked it once more, sending it into the water. Adam and Tanya saw this as Kat and Tommy each gave them the thumbs-up sign. "Make that two and three," said Adam.
Aisha continued to back away from the creature that was after her. She was finally backed up against a wall. Her only escape was to squeeze into a small cave. She got in, but it was confined. "Whoa!" she yelled when she saw a corpse next to her. The creature tried to poke her with its multi-bladed axe. "Somebody help!" she screamed.
Justin came up from behind and kicked it in the back. He barely had time to move out of the way when the creature swung at him. Seeing its anger, Justin cursed, "Smooth move, Justin." He then began to flip away from it.
Elsewhere, Jada finally got as high as she could go. She got behind a loose boulder and started pushing. "Come on, roll," she murmured. She yelped when the creature slammed its mace into the boulder. "Hang on, Jada!" yelled Kat as she swung over on a vine. She landed next to the boulder and kicked the creature in the chest, knocking it down. She grabbed a small log and said, "They're strong, but they're not too smart. Come on, I'll help you push." She placed the log underneath the boulder and on top of a smaller rock. "Right," said Jada as they began to slowly wedge the boulder over. The Pink Ninjetti Ranger then said, "Let's rock his world." Just as the creature stood up, the boulder came down upon it. It rolled down the mountain and landed hard on the ground, being crushed by the boulder and other excess rocks and boulders.
The final two creatures were double-teaming Adam. He asked, "What is this, Pick on Adam Day?" He went to the ground to avoid an attack. He tried to roll away, but a weapon landed on each side. From a tree, Justin asked, "Hey, Adam, could you use a hand?" "The thought crossed my mind," answered the Black Ninjetti Ranger.
Justin tore off a fine and threw one end to the ground, calling, "Adam!" Adam grabbed his end and Justin leaped down, pulling his end. "Elevator going up," said Adam as he started going upward. As he did, one creature swung its multi-bladed axe downward. But instead of hitting Adam, it split its own comrade right down the middle. As the two Ninjetti Rangers met at the halfway point, Justin said, "Elevator going down." The Red Ninjetti Ranger landed right between the split creature as it fell to the ground dead. Justin said, "Whoa. Talk about a splitting headache."
And then, there was one. Tommy kicked it from behind, causing it to drop its multi-bladed axe. Tommy started flipping toward the side of the mountain as the final creature picked up its fallen comrades mace and threw it. The Green Ninjetti Ranger instinctively jumped and split his legs against the side rocks close by. The mace had barely missed as it struck into the side of the mountain. "Whoa," he said relieved. "That was close."
Aisha then attacked with a kick in the back. Justin got his shot in, then Adam, then Tommy. From a tree, Kat asked Jada and Tanya, "Alright, ready?" Jada nodded and Tanya said, "Yeah!" Kat then yelled, "Go!" Jada and Tanya then swung down toward the remaining creature, simultaneously landing a kick. Kat then swung down herself, landing both feet into the creature's chest, sending it flying. "Game over," she said as the creature flew toward the Monolith. It shattered to pieces upon impact.
When it was over, the Rangers each removed their masks and hoods as the ground began to quake. "What now?" asked Aisha. "I think I know. Look," answered Jada pointing. They watched as the Monolith began to slide open. A pyramid then began to slide out. It had a silver emblem on it with the seven Rangers' spirit animals. All of them, even Jada, watched in awe. "The Great Power," said Aisha in amazement. "The Sacred Animals," said Justin.
The emblem then began to glow. Silver images of the seven Sacred Animals then flew out. The Ninjetti Rangers watched in awe as the seven images flew all over the place. They then began to encircle their respective Rangers. The Rangers either smiled or watched in amazement as they did so. Kat giggled the whole time. The seven animal images then made their way into the emblems on the Ninjetti Rangers' chests. When it was done, the Power Rangers now stood where the Ninjetti Rangers once had. They were now clad in outfits almost identical to that of the old Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The silver emblems with their spirit animals remained on their chests. The Purple Ranger's helmet now had the mask of a velociraptor while the other Rangers retained their old dino-masks (t-rex, mastodon, etc.). The only other difference was that now, instead of spandex, they wore armor (for those of you who've seen MMPR: The Movie, those are the outfits I'm talking about, minus the stripes on the gloves and boots).
"We did it!" yelled Aisha proudly.
"This is so cool!" exclaimed Justin.
"We got the Power!" said Tommy.
"Amazing!" said Kat in awe.
"This feels GREAT!" said Jada, glad to be a Ranger again.
"Hang on, Angel Grove!" said Tanya.
"The Power Rangers are coming back!" said Adam, ready to fight.
"Let's do it, guys!" said Kat, taking charge. With that, the reborn Rangers touched the morphers on their belts, containing their silver Power Coins. They then teleported towards Earth in their respective Ranger colors. Lord Zedd was in for a very big surprise!
