Cassie and Kimberly watched as Amber and Alexis fought Craterites in the Simudeck. They actually thought the girls did well together, despite the limited amount of time the two girls had fought together.
Amber launched herself in the air and drew her Solar Sais, drawing in herself for her old powers and threw lighting bolts from the tip of her Sais and into a bunch of Craterites.
Alexis looked stunned. "I didn't know you could do that." She said.
"It was part of my original powers." Amber explained to her as she landed on her feet. "The first monster I ever fought used lightning and speed as his weapon. Zordon modified my powers to be able to use or deflect his powers."
"You'd be surprised how often it's helped us." Cassie told her.
"Or us." Kimberly added. "In fact, Tommy even commented how useful she was after I left, right until about the point he left and Cassie and her friends came."
"It's not that good." Amber commented.
"No, you just tend to jump in with a better timing than even Tommy possessed." Kimberly said, chuckling a little.
"I'll say." Cassie agreed.
******************************************************************
The Wizard was spying on there conversation, and he had to agree. He had spied on the Rangers since Zordon had selected his Rangers almost a decade ago. He had watched as they dealt with Rita, Zedd, The Machine Empire, Divatox and Astronema. And it annoyed him how Amber had prevailed through them all.
It annoyed him even more that if she knew her full capabilities, she might be able to stop him.
Then the idea struck him. Sometimes the best way to defeat a ranger was with a ranger. But they had to be able to predict their opponent's moves, even Amber's, if such a thing could be set for her.
But learning what he could about this Purple Ranger was his first priority. And he knew just how to do it, while giving her a surprise she could never have expected. ****************************************************************
The girls finished their practice and joined the rest of the team for a late lunch, consisiting of hamburgers and fries. Amber was surprised how hungry she always was after practicing or being in a battle.
"Didn't you tell me how much help Amber was after I left?" Kimberly asked Tommy as she took a fry.
Tommy nodded. "Yeah, it was amazing. She even managed to retain her powers while Lord Zedd had crushed the rest of the coins. Of course most of her powers started falling when she fought on her own while Zordon called the Alien Rangers." He said.
"It was luck." Amber said.
"I'll say." Rocky agreed. "But it was really cool. Too bad it didn't last, the Alien Rangers really could have used you when going against Hydro Hog."
"But then she never would have become the Purple Zeo Ranger." Kat pointed out.
"True." Amber said.
"How did she become a ranger anyway?" Cora asked, looking at Jason and Kimberly.
"We were fighting a monster called the Lightning Falcon, which was not long after Tommy became the Green Ranger. Just before hand she had beaten Tommy and I in a two on one match. Then we had to fight the monster and he totally killed us. Then we had to fight him again." Jason started to explain.
"But we didn't know that Zordon used the purple coin and infused it with the same powers Lightning Falcon used. So she came to use and saved us, single handedly defeating the monster. We knew it was her when the monster went to fight her hand to hand." Tommy finished.
"She was amazing." Kimberly added.
"I wasn't that good." Amber said, never the less smiling a little.
It was then that the alarm went off and DECA called out, "There is a monster in Angel Grove."
"We're on our way to the bridge." Andros told DECA as they all got up and ran toward the bridge.
"I wonder what it is this time." TJ commented.
"Maybe Darkconda is back. Or MonsterX." Ashley suggested.
"Whatever it is, we can take it out." Alexis said, as she smiled a little.
As soon as the Rangers arrived on the bridge, the Space Rangers were confronted with a Falcon about as tall Darkconda, who had just used a sword to summon lightning and destroy a building.
"What is that thing?" Cassie asked.
"That," they heard from Amber, who stood behind them. "Would be the Lightning Falcon."
The Space Rangers turned to, and also saw the look of surprise on some of the other Essence Ranger's faces. "That's the monster that you killed on your first day?" TJ asked.
Amber nodded. "The Wizard must have brought him back." She surmised.
"I doubt he would have done it without making some improvements on him." Alexis pointed out.
"There's only one way to find out." Andros said as he opened his Astro Morpher.
Amber held up her hand. "We need to be careful about this. He is arguably the worse monster the Power Rangers have ever faced." She warned them all.
Andros nodded and then his seven friends followed suit. "Let's Rocket!"
Tommy looked over at his friends and they all nodded before he said, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Orange Ranger Power!" "Purple Ranger Power!" "White Ranger Power!" "Green Ranger Power!" "Black Ranger Power!" "Pink Ranger Power!" "Blue Ranger Power!" "Yellow Ranger Power!" "Red Ranger Power!"
****************************************************************
The seven Space Rangers and nine Essence Rangers joined together on the surface, but as they approached Lightning Falcon, he suddenly turned around and let lose a barrage of lightning that caught them all unaware, throwing them back.
Strangely, Lightning Falcon glared at the Purple Space Ranger, even though it was Alexis that wore the colors of the original Purple Ranger. "I have been waiting for a long time to get my revenge on you, girl."
"Then bring it on!" Amber exclaimed as she leapt into the air, drawing her Solar Sais and used them to intercept her nemesis's sword. She pulled the sword to the side and kicked him.
The Lightning Falcon unfurled his wings and struck Amber in the chest, and she fell backwards.
"Alexis was right." She said as Jason and Tommy came to her side.
Amy drew Saba and leapt out to attack Lightning Falcon, but he blocked her and slashed her across the chest. "You thought I had no idea about the White Ranger?" he asked her.
"Are you okay?" Zack asked her as he and Kimberly came to her side to help her up.
"Let's see how tough you really are." Zhane said as he called formed his Super Silverizer and then switched it to blade mode, then leapt at the falcon monster. He flew up, met Zhane halfway, and then slashed him across the chest.
"Zhane!" Karone called out as she began to run over to him. But Lightning Falcon flew toward her and punched her right in the chest, and she fell right into Cassie and Ashley.
"This is tough." Carlos said.
"Let's see how tough." Andros said and switched his Spiral Saber into booster mode and then fired at Lightning Falcon. He just flew right up and past the blast.
"Tough enough?" TJ asked Andros. Zhane and the girls now came to join the three guys and they all turned to observe the monster.
Lightning Falcon laughed and then drew lightning and then shot it at the Space Rangers, which struck all of them and caused them to fall back, the breath knocked out of them.
"Okay, so how do we stop this thing?" Cora asked as she regrouped with Amber, Jason, and Tommy.
"I'm not sure." Amber told her. "It wasn't able to stop me the last time I fought it."
"Maybe we could help the Space Ranger's distract it and then you could jump in when he's distracted." Jason suggested.
"It might work. Or it might be what he needs to destroy all of you." Amber pointed out.
Cassie and Ashley each drew their weapons and fired at Lightning Falcon. He just avoided the blast, gave a high laugh and then shot both the girls down.
` "What about a Supreme Bomb Attack?" Alexis asked. The three Rangers looked at her and she went on, "In his condition it might not be good enough to destroy him, but it should weaken him long enough for Amber to get in the blow she needs."
"Too risky." They all said in unison.
Alexis just stared at them in return. "Do you have any better ideas?" she asked them.
Amber shook her head. "Obviously not. Okay, get Karone. She can act independently just like I can and we might need her if this goes wrong. Aside from her and I, draw whatever you need from everyone else." She said.
"I'll get Karone and tell her to find her way here." Tommy said.
"I'll get the rest of the Essence Rangers and go to help the Space Rangers." Jason said.
"Right." Amber agreed and then the two boys took off.
"Are you sure you're up to this?" Amber asked Alexis, remembering how recently she had done that move, which could have killed her.
"I'm sure." Alexis told her. "Besides, we don't have a choice in the matter."
Tommy rushed over to Karone as she helped the girls up. Andros, using his Spiral Saber in booster mode, worked with Zhane, who had changed his Silverizer into blaster mode, continued shooting at Lightning Falcon to no avail.
"Karone, we have an idea but we need to have back up just in case. Go join Amber and Alexis, and listen to what Amber has to say." He told her.
Karone looked a little reluctant but nodded in agreement and then dashed over to the two rangers just as the Lightning Falcon kicked Zhane and Andros in the chest.
Jason brought over the rest of the Ranger's and they drew their Power Blasters, and shot at the Lightning Falcon, but he used his sword to block and deflect the blasts right at them.
"Alright guys, let's use our ultimate weapon!" Jason called out.
That startled the Lightning Falcon just a little.
"I infuse you with the power of the Raptor!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Stegosaurus!"
"I infuse you with the power of the White Tiger!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Dragonzord!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Mastodon!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Pterodactyl."
"I infuse you with the power of the Triceratops!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Saber Tooth Tiger!"
"I infuse you with the power of the Tyrannosaurus!"
The powers infused into Alexis, and before the Lightning Falcon could turn to the three girls Cassie, Ashley, Andros, and Zhane blasted at him to prevent him from turning to them.
Alexis stopped and hesitated only for a second before turning to Amber. "I think you should take the shield, until this fight is over."
She looked at her, shocked. "But what about you?" she asked.
"The shield won't do anything to protect me, but it'll help you against his blows." She told her.
Amber looked reluctant. "All right." She agreed.
Alexis put her hand on Amber's chest and transferred the shield to her. After that was done she jumped right for him and called out, "Supreme Bomb Attack!"
She slammed right into Lightning Falcon and caused a huge explosion. The Rangers covered their eyes for a moment, and when they uncovered their eyes she was lying on the ground.
Lightning Falcon hovered there virtually unharmed.
"That can't be." Cora said.
"Your attempt failed." Lightning Falcon told them simply. "I warned you that I was aware of her pathetic bomb attack. That will be you downfall, Rangers." He then shot lightning at them and caused all of the Space and Essence Rangers to fall back. The Power Sword and Dragon Dagger flew out of his sight.
"I'm up now." Amber said as she began to rise.
"No." Karone told her. "The bomb didn't seem to do anything, let me try first."
Without waiting for an okay Karone jumped up and drew her sword, attempting to hit Lightning Falcon. He caught her by the throat, threw her to the ground, and then shot directly at her.
Stunned, Karone was hit by every one of the blasts, except the last, which Zhane blocked. He fell beside her.
He then shot lightning at all of the Rangers, and the impact caused all of them to demorph in front of the monster
Lightning Falcon laughed. "I warned you this would be your end Rangers." He said simply.
"Not quiet." Said a voice and before he could respond Amber kicked him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground. When Lightning Falcon turned around, Amber stood their as the Purple Space Ranger, holding the Power Sword in her right hand and the Dragon Dagger in her left.
"You think you can stop me? Haven't I already demolished you?" he questioned as he rose to confront her.
"Not this time." Amber said, raising the weapons up front in an attack stance. "Now I'm going to take you out."
"Then so be it." Lightning Falcon said, and then started to shoot massive bolts of lightning. She used the sword and dagger to deflect as many of the bolts as she could and began running toward him.
He increased the pressure of the lightning, but it didn't do anything to sway Amber. In fact, she now started absorbing some of the lightning into the weapons, and before the monster knew it Amber was right in front of him, and slashing her lightning infused weapons right at him, cutting right into him and giving his powers back to him, with her powers mixed with it.
The Rangers stood watching her attack Lightning Falcon with all of the powers she possessed, except for Rocky, who was able to make his way over to Alexis and find out she was still breathing.
Amber slashed her nemesis one final time and then kicked him, rolling to her friends as Lightning Falcon exploded.
Jason went to check on her and then looked at his friends. "She exhausted herself. She's unconscious but she'll be okay." He told them.
"Let's get Amber and Alexis to the medical bay then. Make sure they are okay." Kat told them all.
****************************************************************
The Wizard had never imagined how much he could have taken out of Amber in one fight. That would mean achieving his ultimate objective would he a little harder, but much more satisfying, than he could ever have imagined. It was now time to move onto phase two.
******************************************************************
"The last fight really took a drain on all of your powers." Alpha told all of the Rangers, excluding Amber and Alexis because they were still recovering. "It will be fine over time, but the Wizard isn't known for giving us time to recover."
"We can still fight." Andros told him. "That's all that's important."
"We need to find a way to recover our powers more quickly, just in case." Jason said.
"I'll look into it." Cassie told him.
"We can't be sure when the next time he'll strike is." Tommy warned them all.
What is the Wizard planning? Can the Rangers find a way to recharge their powers from this last battle? Stay tuned to find out
