story, with homage to A Samurai's Journey.
Chapter Two-Ranger Through and Through
SPACE STATION GALACTICA
As the five sat on the bridge, Samantha stared out in space. She missed Kyle so much, and it had been nearly two years since he had left for Japan. Suddenly, the view screen flared alive as the klaxon alarms went off.
"What is it?" Samantha asked moving to a station.
"Madtropolis," Marta said, staring at the screen. "One of Nikara's monsters, it's terrorizing Zamora, we'd better go,"
"Right," Samantha said as the five stood up.
"DIMENSION FREEDOM!" they called, morphing.
ZAMORA
The rangers landed on Zamora, seeing Madtropolis and a squad of Gorillugs. As they moved towards the squad, Madtropolis opened a jar, and the rangers de-morphed.
"What happened?" Greg asked.
"He drained our powers," Marta shouted.
Suddenly he watched as Madtropolis became supercharged and grew large. He turned, and was ready to squash the rangers.
KIYA NINJA ACADEMY-TOKYO, JAPAN
At the exact same moment, Kyle Martis was now feeling what was about to happen and ran to the Sensei.
"What is it my son?" he asked.
"My friends are about to be killed, I need to get into space, and. . . ., Sensei. . . . I'm a Power Ranger," he said breathlessly.
"Calm down, I will tell you this. First, I am not from this world, I am from Mirinoi, in the dimension where your friends are. I know of the Power Rangers, and I, myself was one," the Sensei said, waving his hand.
"What did you do?" Kyle asked, seeing that time had stopped.
"I froze time, to save your friends. Here, take this portal, it will lead you to a shuttle that is automatically set for the Lost Dimension," the Sensei said, removing a piece of platinum from under his robes.
"This all that is left of Eltar, and can make you a power ranger once more. Use it Kyle, use it wisely, and be careful," the Sensei said.
Kyle took the piece, putting it around his neck, bowing, "Thank you Sensei,"
The portal opened as Kyle boarded the ship, and another portal opened to the Lost Dimension as the Sensei's spell began to diminish.
ZAMORA
As time began to unfreeze, the platinum eliminated Madtropolis as it made its way into the present. The rangers' powers were restored. They looked around, obviously confused by the situation.
"What just happened, weren't we about to get killed?" Neil asked.
"I thought so too," Marta commented.
DIVATOX'S SHIP
"NO, someone must have retrieved the power source, they will pay," Divatox said.
Suddenly, the scanners began beeping as another ship entered the Lost Dimension. Divatox moved to the console, identifying the person inside. She smiled fiendishly and said, "Put a tractor beam on the ship, NOW!"
Minutes later, Divatox came to the docking bay, pulling out a chain from around her neck. She had stolen part of Zelda's platinum years ago, and cursed it, so whoever held the other piece was under her control. She recited the incantation as Kyle exited.
"What is your will my queen?" he asked hypnotically.
"Eliminate the rangers," she said.
"With pleasure. DIMENSION FREEDOM!" Kyle shouted morphing.
ZAMORA
As the rangers were about to de-morph and head back to the ship, lightning struck, and they saw another ranger, in silver looking uniform appear. The stranger kicked at the rangers, with fast speed and grabbed their morphers, teleporting away from the planet.
"Oh man, whoever that was, they just nabbed our morphers! WE'RE HISTORY!" Samantha shouted out.
DIVATOX'S SHIP
Divatox, Nikara and Kyle were celebrating on board her ship as she plotted her next phase of the plan.
"I have found the EXACT location of where the Power Stones are, this ship is on course for that planet and we're going to retrieve the stones, and crush the rangers once and for all!" Divatox said joyously.
"What is my task in this, my Queen?" Kyle asked.
"You Kyle, are going to take my shuttle and sneak on board that space station, and sabotage the systems, thereby causing the destruction of the space station and the POWER RANGERS!" Divatox said.
"Your will be done, my queen. DIMENSION FREEDOM!" Kyle called out, morphing.
"It's only a matter of time before the universes are mine!" Divatox said cackling.
SPACE STATION GALACTICA
The five sat on the bridge of the space station, wondering what to do. With their morphers gone there was little they could do to protect the Lost Dimension from Divatox and Nikara.
"What do we do now?" Susan asked.
"What CAN we do, without morphers, we're useless," Greg said.
"And Divatox's ship is way too dangerous to teleport onto and make an assault," Samantha said.
"Well, that ranger for one thing is tough," Neil, commented.
"And he is human," Marta said.
"WHAT?" the four said to Marta.
"You heard me, I could tell for that split second that the ranger was a male human," Marta said.
Greg looked at Samantha and said, "Kyle?"
Samantha shook her head, her long hair flying wildly "It's impossible, and he's in Japan, besides he wouldn't do that to us,"
DIVATOX'S SHUTTLE/GALACTICA ENGINE ROOM
Kyle cruised through space, and hit the cloaking device to sneak up on the unsuspecting space station. He transported onto the bowels of the ship and looked around at the engines. He called a platinum lance to him and slashed at the engines, disabling them for now.
On the bridge, the ship rocked, as the five ran to different stations.
"What the hell happened?" Samantha asked.
"Engines just got hit, by something," Marta said.
"I'll go fix them," Neil said exiting.
Kyle moved to the guidance systems, disabling them, and then moved to the thrusters and weapons systems, doing the same to them. He walked out of the engine room and onto the space station. He saw one of the puny humans and came charging towards them.
"Neil to Bridge, The Platinum ranger is onboard the-," his communication said as it shorted out.
"We have to go down there," Marta said.
"No way, that Platinum ranger is dangerous, and we without our morphers makes it even harder for us to defeat him," Samantha said.
"Oh this space station has a few tricks up its sleeves," she said smiling.
The four walked out heading down to the cultivation area, near the engine room. They continued on, heading closer to the engine room, ever vigilant for the Platinum ranger. They entered the engine room and saw the destruction he had caused to the space station.
"Look at this, the guidance systems are near gone, we have no idea where we're going!" Marta shrilly whispered.
"The shields have dropped to 10 percent," Greg said.
"The weapons systems are offline," Samantha said.
"Oh my gosh, Neil!" Susan said as they went over to him.
Neil was bound and gagged by the power core, in an attempt to burn him to death. Marta untied him and Samantha asked, "What happened?"
"It was him, he screwed with the systems, and then he was going to kill me, it looked like, but then he bound and gagged me," Neil said.
"Let's get you out of here," Susan said.
As they stood up, they saw the Platinum ranger in the corridor. He started running as Marta pushed a button in the engine room. As the Platinum ranger made it to the doorway, a force field blocked him off. Marta stepped through the force field, and said to the Platinum ranger, "Now, let's see who you really are,"
She moved closer to him and removed his helmet. A flash of white light occurred, and Kyle's face was revealed to all.
"K-Kyle?" Samantha said, tears in her eyes.
Kyle nodded and said to Marta, "How did you know?"
"Know what?" Marta asked, confused by his question.
"How did you know how to break the spell?" he asked.
"Well, I didn't," Marta, said.
"Wait, wait, spell?" Greg said.
Kyle nodded and replied, "Divatox has part of this piece of platinum that my Sensei gave to me, and she must have put something on it to have mind control over me,"
Samantha said, "Does she know the spell is broken?"
Kyle said, "No, I'm going to go back, lie, say I'm destroying your morphers and then come back here with them, and then we'll head to the planet where the power stones are,"
"Isn't that dangerous?" Marta asked.
Kyle laughed and said, "No, it's going to be fun,"
Samantha kissed Kyle and said, "Be careful,"
He kissed her back and replied, "I will,"
He put on his helmet and teleported back into Divatox's shuttle. Samantha was happier than ever, Kyle had returned to her, and now he was a ranger again.
