Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Power Rangers in Space
(except for the Purple Ranger Amber). The Wizard (despite the unoriginal
name) is mine. Actually it was my sister's character but I know she
doesn't care.
It had been a few months since Zordon had sacrificed himself to save the universe and yet Andros still could not help the sadness that overcame him, simply because he was the one that had smashed the tube that held him. He felt hands on his shoulder and he turned to see Ashley Hammond standing over him. "Hey, are you alright?" she asked him. Andros nodded. "Yeah, just a little depressed over what happened to Zordon, that's all." He told her. Ashley nodded. "I know. I miss him too. He sacrificed himself to save the world though, so I guess that has to count for something." She said as she sat down beside him. "I thought you were training with Cassie and Amber." He said as he looked over at her. Ashley nodded. "I was, but to be honest Amber does better training on a one to one capacity. That and I just wasn't patient enough to do it right now." She explained to him. "Not like we need it, considering we have finally achieved peace."
"Not quiet peace, my dear." Said the white bearded man watching the swirling black mist that displayed the group in the center of the void. "In fact, this is about to get very interesting." While it was true that Zordon's sacrifice had eliminated just about all evil in the world for the time being, he had missed this new figure, simply because he held more power than any of the enemies the Rangers had ever faced. But not all evil had been eliminated by Zordon's sacrifice either. He had watched the battle that had been labeled as the Countdown to Destruction and had seen Darkconda's treachery against Dark Spectre. In fact he had predicted it. "He really would have been better as an independent operator, or perhaps a villain himself." He said to himself and then smiled. "Let's find out." A blue energy ball formed in his hand and he shot it out into the depths of space. Right to the debris field that held what was Darkconda's last stand. Until now. The blue energy ball flew toward Earth.
Amber watched as Cassie did a few punches and then a spinning kick. It worked great until Cassie went to land and fell onto the ground. She couldn't help but smile, remembering how difficult it had been to train each and every Ranger that had asked her. Even Jason and Tommy had had a hard time keeping up with her at times. Cassie hit the ground with a soft curse and Amber came over to her. "It's alright. It took me months to master that move. You've done great considering the fact that I learned it in five months. This is your fourth day." She said. "I'm not sure why it matters." Cassie replied as she let Amber help her up. "It's not like we'll need it anytime soon." "That's true." Amber allowed as she used her right hand to brush her long black hair off of her face and walked over to their exercise bags. "But then again, who knows." "I guess you're right." Cassie conceded as she joined Amber and took a drink from her water bottle before sitting on the ground. "I guess it just feel weird not to have to worry about being attacked." Amber smiled and was about to respond when a large blue streak hit the park not thirty feet away from them, and her smile faded. "I guess we're about to find out."
The sensors went off just as Ashley was about to suggest that she and Andros get a bite to eat. All thoughts of an impromptu date were pushed out of mind. "What is it, DECA?" Andros asked as he rose and went to a console. "An unknown energy signature has headed toward Earth." DECA reported. "What could be going on?" Ashley asked. "I don't know." Andros told her. "Summon the guys, we better check it out." Ashley nodded and was about to comply when she looked down at the sensor readings and looked up sharply. "That's pretty close to where Amber and Cassie are training." She told him. "We better hurry." Andros said.
Amber and Cassie arrived to see a smoking crater before them. They began to inspect the area, knowing from personal experience that something like this was never this innocent. Amber especially knew, given as she was the oldest ranger in all of the history she knew. Even though she was just twenty. "I don't see anything." Cassie told her after a quick inspection. "Neither do I." Amber assured her. "Something is wrong here." Then a familiar voice came from behind them. "Looking for something?" it asked. Both girls turned and took a fighting stance. They were surprised to see Darkconda standing there. "What? How is that possible?" Cassie asked. Amber shook her head. "I don't know. But I guess we need to morph." "Let's Rocket!" both girls called out, and a moment later Cassie stood in her pink astral suit and Amber stood in her purple astral suit, looking very much like the others. "Still eager to please, I see." Darkconda growled as he shot multiple blue energy bolts at the two rangers. They struck Cassie head on and she fell to the ground, but Amber avoided them all (although barely) and jumped up into the air and kicked Darkconda in the chest. He grunted and stumbled back. "Whoa, now that's solid as a rock." Amber commented before running over to Cassie and leaning beside her. "Are you okay?" she asked. "I'm fine." Cassie responded and then gasped, "Look out!" She turned in enough time to see Darkconda leaping out at her with his sword going straight to her head. Andros caught it with his Spiral Saber. Then Carlos, Ashley, TJ, and Zhane stepped up behind Amber and Cassie, helping the girls up. "So, now we have all of the Power Rangers here and ready to play. Prepare for your last battle." Darkconda said and drew his sword. "We'll see about that." Andros said as he raised his Spiral Saber and brought it in front of his face in a defensive posture. TJ followed through with his Astral Axes, Carlos with his Lunar Lance, and Amber with her Solar Sais. "Be careful." Ashley called out. "I'd listen to the Yellow Ranger." Darkconda said as he lowered his arms. Then three more copies of Darkconda formed, one on the right and one on the left. "Cassie, we need your help." TJ said. "On it." Cassie responded and drew her Satellite Stunner, shooting at the three Darkconda's to find which was the real one. Although they could not see her eyes widen in amazement, they heard it in her voice. "I can't tell which one is the real one!" "That's right, Rangers." Darkconda replied and shot more blue bolts at the Rangers. This time none of the Rangers were able to avoid it and they all fell back. "When could Darkconda do that?" Zhane asked as he recovered. "He can't" Andros responded as he too rose. "Just great." Carlos said. "Had enough?" Darkconda asked as the three forms approached the recovering Rangers. "Not nearly so." Amber replied as they all got up, bringing their weapons to up front, aimed at Darkconda. "Then so be it." He said, and suddenly four more forms of Darkconda emerged and surrounded the Rangers. They all took their right hand to the front of their eyes, red beams shot from the eye to the hand, and then shot out at the Rangers. All the beams struck the Rangers, and they fell to the ground. Their astral suits disappeared, the guys and Ashley now in their uniforms, Cassie and Amber in their workout clothes. All of the Darkconda's laughed. "Draining you fools of your powers was to easy." They said, and began to reform, merging at the Darkconda near Andros, who proceeded to lift him up by the throat. "And now this world is mine." Even when he disappeared, the laughing continued.
The Wizard couldn't have been prouder of Darkconda. He had disabled the Power Rangers, and now nothing was going to stand in his way of conquering the Earth.
"How could we have lost? After all that has happened?!" Amber exclaimed angrily as she pounded her fist on the console near her. They all watched her, all of the Rangers sad and angered. But it didn't escape any of the that this was worse for Amber. She had survived everything, from the Green Ranger to the loss of the Ninja Powers from the loss of the Zeo and Turbo Powers and finally to the Countdown to Destruction. But never had she felt so powerless. "I don't know what to do." Cassie said. "We'll figure out something." TJ said as he stood up and started to pace. "There has never been a loss without something new for us to gain." Carlos looked at him. "Yeah, but what is it?" he asked. TJ couldn't respond. Neither could anyone else.
A wind blew, uncovering a small black box from under the sand. A moment later someone picked it up and opened the box. Inside were eight coins, containing eight images. Raptor. Stegosaurus. White Tiger. Dragonzord. Mastodon. Pterodactyl. Triceratops. Saber tooth Tiger. Tyrannosaurs.
