CHAPTER 4 – THE LEGEND OF THE MASHIN GODS

Disclaimer: I do not own Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Weapon/Attacks names are mostly from the Sentai series Kakurangers (MMPR Season 3). The Mashin are the robots from Clamps Magic Knight Rayearth. This is mainly a Billy/Kat fanfiction with other couples.

Author's Notes: The character Dulcea will be explained in this chapter in a little bit more detail to explain how Billy and the other rangers met her.

The three bodies were transported on a lush green area of the planet Cephiro.

"We are finally here." Dulcea said.

The two teens looked around the area they had landed on. It mimicked the appearance of Earth, but it was quite obvious that it wasn't.

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," Kat jokingly said.

Billy looked over at her and just smiled. He was glad to see such humour and happiness resonating from her.

"I think you're right. Where are we exactly Dulcea?" Billy said shifting from Kat to Dulcea.

"This is the sacred planet of the Mashin Gods known as Cephiro." Dulcea exclaimed.

"Okay, so why were we transported here rather than Earth where I am assuming the others have been sent?" Billy questioned.

"The Mashin God WINDHAM has entrusted me with his gifts and also with the task of collecting the other two chosen ones." Dulcea replied.

"Chosen ones for what?" Kat asked.

"Isn't it obvious you are chosen to harness the powers of the Mashin Gods of Fire and Water, Lexxus and Celes," Dulcea replied.

Billy and Kat looked amongst each other with utter amusement.

"I think we should find somewhere and rest, but before that I should transfer the Mystic Ovums unto both of you." Dulcea said.

Billy and Kat looked on Dulcea as a jewel appeared on the back of her left hand that had the planet Earth image resonating from it.

"What's that on your hand Dulcea?" Billy asked.

"This is the Mystic Ovum when it is one. I will now transfer the power to you both. Hold your left hands toward me." Dulcea said.

The two teens did as they were told. The element of fire surrounded Billy, while the element of water surrounded Kat. A bright light emanated from both teens and as it subsided they both had an ovum on their hand of red and blue respectively representing the element colour.

"Wow, I feel different as if I am one with the element." Kat said.

"Me too. Is that supposed to happen Dulcea?" Billy asked Dulcea as he noticed that her ovum was now the colour green unlike before where it had the image of Earth in it. "What happened to your ovum?" Billy directed his question to Dulcea.

"Firstly, you should feel different you are now linked to the elements of fire and water just as I am to wind. For your second question my ovum is of the wind, but WINDHAM placed the other God powers within my ovum so I could transfer the powers to the chosen ones when they were found. The image you saw before in my ovum represents the union of the three elements and Mashin Gods. When the powers are one they fuse into the God Mashin RAYEARTH, but no one has ever been able to form RAYEARTH." Dulcea answered.

"So where are the Mashins now?" Kat asked.

"THEY ARE ALL HIDDEN AWAY IN SPECIFIC POINTS ON THE PLANET. CELES IS LOCATED IN AN UNDERWATER TEMPLE KNOWN AS THE SEA OF DRAGON BLOSSOM, WINDHAM IS LOCATED IN A TEMPLE ON A MOUNTAIN IN THE CLOUDS KNOWN AS THE WINDS OF THE PHOENIX TEMPLE AND LEXXUS IS LOCATED IN A TEMPLE INSIDE OF A VOLCANO KNOWN AS THE LIGHT OF THE WOLF SHRINE." Dulcea replied.

"Okay then since that has been established maybe we should go look for something to eat and tomorrow we will start the journey for the Mashin Gods." Billy pointed out as he laced his fingers with Kat's.

"I will do that for you, don't worry about it. This will give you two the opportunity to clear the air about some things I believe you need to talk about." Dulcea said as she started off towards a forest where she saw some fruits.

Billy and Kat stared at each other in silence for several minutes before Kat broke the silence.

"So, how long have you had these feelings for me?" Kat asked.

"From the day you entered the youth centre, it was like no one else existed. But then I noticed I saw that you were always hanging around Tommy I figured you were interested in him." Billy said.

"Well you don't have to worry about my feelings toward Tommy anymore, because that was just the spell. I only have eyes for you now." Kat said as she cupped his face in her hands and softly kissed Billy.

Billy's heart sped up as he equally returned the kiss back to 'his' Kat. Kat and Billy disengaged from each other as they looked into each other's eyes, which were filled with passion and lust for the other. Kat knew she wanted Billy and vice-versa, but this was not the time or place. To break the moment Kat started asking questions about Dulcea.

"How did you meet Dulcea?" Kat asked.

"She is a Ninjetti Master like Ninjor. We were sent to her to enhance our power weapons." Billy said as he started to tell the story.

~FLASHBACK BEGINS~

The rangers had just finished fighting some new Tengus, which were enhanced by Master Vile.

"Zordon, how come we cannot defeat the Tengus?" Tommy asked.

"MASTER VILE HAS INCREASED THEIR POWERS. YOUR NORMAL POWER WEAPONS CANNOT DEFEAT THEM. I WILL HAVE TO SEND YOU TO THE PLANET PHAEDOS, WHERE DULCEA A NINJETTI MASTER WILL ENHANCE YOUR POWER WEAPONS." ZORDON SAID.

"I have already set the coordinates for Phaedos. Be careful rangers." Alpha said as he saw six streams of light left the command centre.

The rangers all landed on the rocky terrain of Phaedos. The rangers scanned the area and saw some ruins and headed in its direction. As the rangers were heading there they were suddenly bombarded with hordes of Tengus. The rangers quickly transformed and still they were unable to fight them off. That's when Dulcea appeared and started defeating them one by one. Eventually the Tengus flew away. The rangers demorphed and went to introduce themselves to Dulcea.

"Hello, I am Tommy, and the others are Adam, Kimberly, Billy, Aisha and Rocky. We're the Power Rangers." Tommy said.

"I know who you are. What are you doing here?" Dulcea asked.

"Master Vile has enhanced the Tengus and we are unable to beat them." Billy explained.

"Zordon told us that you could enhance our weapons." Kimberly said.

"Master Vile is a horrible creature we must hurry so that you can save your planet as soon as possible." Dulcea said as she led them to the ruins.

The teens stood in front of Dulcea transformed while a large bonfire was shining beyond her.

"Call forth your power weapons." Dulcea exclaimed.

The rangers did as they were told and called the weapons. Dulcea then blew sand at the rangers as swirls of multi coloured sand engulfed the weapons.

"Your weapons are now powerful enough to destroy the Tengus." Dulcea said.

"But they look just like our old ones." Aisha exclaimed.

"Do not judge a book by its cover." Dulcea replied.

"So where do we go now?" Adam asked.

"Just below this ruin is a teleportation device, it will transport you safely home." Dulcea answered.

"Dulcea why don't you come with us we could use your expertise back on Earth." Rocky mentioned.

"I wish I could, but one step beyond this plateau I would age rapidly, it is my curse to forever watch over Phaedos." Dulcea said sadly.

The rangers felt sorry for her as they each hugged her and went to the teleportation device and left for Earth. When they reached the Tengus attacked them and as quickly as they came they were gone thanks to Dulcea and their enhanced weapons.

~FLASHBACK ENDS~

Billy could hear slow laboured breathing and he knew that Kat had fell asleep in his arm. He eventually drifted of also. After a few hours sleep Billy and Kat woke up shocked to find all sorts of fruits and meat that Dulcea had picked, hunted and cooked for them.

"Dulcea we would like to thank you very much for this." Kat said.

"It's not a problem we are friends, that's what we do." Dulcea replied.

"So, tomorrow we will start searching for the Mashin Gods." Billy exclaimed.

"Yes we will." Duclea said as she went into a trance. "I feel the presence of unforeseen evil heading for Earth." Dulcea said.

"What evil are you talking about?" Kat asked.

"I am not sure, but I fear for your home planet." Dulcea replied.

"I just hope the others are okay, until we return." Billy said as he eased Kat closer to him.

The three sighed and prayed that they wouldn't be too late.

MACHINE EMPIRE

The machine empire accepted Zedd and Rita's proposal and were heading on their way to Earth as fast as their asteroid planet could take them.

maSTER VILE SHIP

After having a discussion with his daughter about her plans Master Vile thought it was the best plan ever concocted by the two and willingly accepted to Zedd's terms. He quickly dispatched his and left the M-51 galaxy and headed for Earth.
