Silver Hope: The Revised Edition
Chapter 10
The monsters demolished the downtown area. People cried out,
but the rangers were no where in site. Angel Grove was reduced to an
inferno. And now the creatures were moving on to the rest of the world.
"Where in the world are we?" Kat asked.
"This place looks very familiar," Billy said.
"You're right, it does," Tommy answered. Suddenly, it hit Billy.
"Guys! We're on Phaedos!" Billy exclaimed.
"But why would Ivan send us to Phaedos. It doesn't make sense," Adam
replied.
"Phaedos is where the Ninjetti powers came from, right?" Kat asked.
"Yea, and where I found the silver ranger powers also," Billy replied.
"What the hell is Phaedos?" Sean yelled obnoxiously.
Billy rolled his eyes.
"Phaedos is a planet light years from Earth. But it's a planet of good. If
Ivan sent us here, then something must be wrong," Billy said.
"Let's find Dulcea," Rocky said.
"Who's Dulcea?" Bulk asked.
"Master warrior of this planet and guardian of the Ninjetti powers," Billy
explained.
With that, the rangers and company began their long hike through the
Neola jungle.
"This is such a beautiful planet," Kat said as she and Billy hiked
through the jungle hand in hand.
"Yea it is. I just can't help but have a bad feeling," Billy said.
"I know, I hope your instincts are wrong, but they usually aren't," Kat
replied. Billy gave her a half smile and pecked her on the lips.
She pulled and struggled with the chains that bound her. But it was
no use. She was a prisoner on her own planet. Captured by one of the
most evil beings in the universe. Dulcea, master warrior of the planet
Phaedos was at the mercy of Ivan Ooze.
"How are you Dulcea?" Ivan asked as he approached her.
"You will not be allowed to get away with this Ooze!" she yelled. Ivan
only laughed.
"You should be getting some company soon. Cestria, why don't you pay
a visit to the power brats. Take some of my new creations with you.
Make sure you bring the silver ranger to me, and another ranger as well,"
Ivan ordered.
"As you wish Ivan," Cestria replied.
An army of creatures lined up. They dripped with ooze. They were
upright, but had six fury arms and two legs. They had glowing red eyes,
fangs, and resembled a spider.
Cestria and the minions teleported to their destination.
They finally made it through the Neola Jungle, and they reached the
ocean and were taking a short rest before hiking up the foothills to the
ruins of the Ninjetti temple, where they would find Dulcea.
Katherine watched as the giant waves crashed on the rocks below.
She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her midsection and warm
lips kiss her neck and shoulder.
Kat turned her head, and her lips met his in a passionate kiss. They broke
the kiss and went to join the others. It was time to get going.
Suddenly, Cestria appeared.
Kat growled as her eyes bored into her rival and worst enemy.
"Hello rangers," Cestria said.
"What do you want?" Kat yelled.
"Oh Kat, I want a lot of things, such as the person that stands next to you.
And eventually I will have all of that, but for now I am just helping Ivan
with his latest plan to destroy you all," Cestria replied.
"That's nice fish girl, but we don't have time. We're on our way to see
Dulcea," Aisha said.
"Oh Dulcea, that's nice. Too bad Ivan has taken her prisoner, and the
Ninjetti ruins belong to him," Cestria said.
The rangers audibly gasped.
"So he sent you to annoy us," Billy said. Cestria glared.
"No, he sent me to destroy you," Cestria replied.
"So why haven't you morphed?" Billy asked. Cestria went quiet. She
knew what the genius was getting at.
"You can't, can you? You were able to use the powers because you
supposedly under a spell. But now the spell has faded, and because you
choose to be evil, the powers have rejected your body," Billy explained.
Cestria scowled.
"Very good William, but it really doesn't matter. I have powers now that
are far greater than those of a ranger. And now I'd like to introduce you
to Ivan's new creations," Cestria said.
Suddenly, about twenty spider-like creatures appeared around her.
"Meet the Arachnids," Cestria said as the creatures began to attack.
"Bulk, Skull, and Sean, stay back!" Billy ordered.
"I don't take orders from you Cranston!" Sean yelled.
"Just do it Sean!" Billy yelled as he began to fight the oncoming
creatures. But of course, Sean didn't listen.
Unfortunately, the monsters were incredibly strong and were
defeating the rangers.
"they're too strong!" Tanya called.
"Re group guys!" Jason called.
They all managed to do so.
"It's Morphin Time!" Jason called.
"Mastodon!" Zack called.
"Pterodactyl!" Kimberly called.
"Triceratops!" Aisha called.
"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Trini called.
"Tyrannosaurus!" Jason called.
"It's Morphin Time!" Billy called.
"Zeo Ranger 1-Pink, Power of Wind," Kat called.
"Zeo Ranger 2-Yellow, Power of Sun," Tanya called.
"Zeo Ranger 3-Blue, Power of Water," Rocky called.
"Zeo Ranger 4-Green, Power of Earth," Adam called.
"Zeo Ranger 5-Red, Power of Fire," Tommy called.
"Zeo Ranger 6-Silver, Power of Thunder," Billy called.
The rangers began to fair better, but the creatures were still
relentless.
Adam drop kicked one and sent it sprawling to the ground. He
delivered a blow to the chest, but was grabbed from behind and hurled
to the ground.
Kimberly used her power bow and hit several with arrows. But this
only stunned them, and Kim found herself using her gymnastics skills to
evade their attacks.
Katherine used her wind energy to keep the attackers at bay.
Suddenly, she spotted Sean being ruthlessly attacked by one that he had
attempted to fight. Personally, she thought he deserved it, but as a
ranger, it was her duty to help him.
Kat jumped into the air and landed a smart kick on the creatures
head. Sean just stared at her.
"You can tell everyone that you were saved by the pink ranger," Kat said
as she ran off to continue helping the others.
Jason fought the monsters with his power sword. Ivan had ordered
this particular creature to bring a prisoner. The creature caught Jason off
guard and covered him with a sticky webbed substance. And in a flash,
Jason and the creature were gone.
Billy fought the creatures with his lance, but was unaware that
Cestria was approaching him. She used her magic that had been given
to her by Rita and Zedd, and stunned him with it. Billy fell to his knees in
pain.
"Sorry Billy, I hate hurting you. But Ivan has requested that you join him.
With that, two creatures secured him and they disappeared.
"Billy!" Kat called. Cestria laughed.
"Sorry princess, but Ivan has requested that we capture Billy and one
other. That other just happened to be Jason. Now we must be going,
Later!" Cestria said as she and the remaining creatures disappeared.
"I really hate her!" Kat yelled.
"Calm down Kat. We need to get to the temple ruins. I'm sure that
Ivan's base is around there somewhere," Tommy said.
"Well, let's get going," Zack replied. They all agreed and began hiking up
the foothills.
"Cestria, I must say I am very pleased. Not only have you brought
me the leader of the zeo rangers, but also the leader of the morphin
rangers. Well done," Ivan said.
"Thank you master," Cestria replied.
"I don't know what you're up to Ivan, but you'll never get away with it,"
Billy said as he struggled with his chains.
"Oh but I will. You see I control the Ninjetti temple now. Dulcea is no
longer connected to it. She is powerless. And now there is only one thing keeping me from being invincible. The pure essence of a particular human, who possesses the silver zeo crystal.
You William Cranston will give me ultimate power. Cestria, lock up the other human with Dulcea. It is time to begin draining Billy of the essence that I need," Ivan said.
The remaining rangers and non-rangers finally reached what used
to be the ruins of the Ninjetti temple. In place of this was now a large
palace with Ivan's insignia.
"Whoa! Someone's been doing some redecorating," Aisha said.
"No kidding, this doesn't look good," Adam replied.
"Come on, we have to find Billy and Jason," Kat urged. The others
nodded and approached the palace.
The Arachnids tossed Jason into the cell with Dulcea. Jason
growled and quickly stood up.
"Who are you?" Dulcea asked.
"I'm Jason, you must be Dulcea," Jason said.
"Yes I am. You were the original red ranger, were you not?" Dulcea
asked.
"Yea, and our power coins have recently been reenergized," Jason
explained.
Did they capture you?" Dulcea asked.
"Yea, and Billy too. I don't know what he wants with Billy, but it can't be
good," Jason said.
"Oh no, Ivan must want to gain Billy's essence. If he is allowed to, Ivan
will be invincible, and Billy will die," Dulcea said.
"Then we have to find a way out of here and fast," Jason replied. Dulcea
nodded. Oddly enough, Ivan had forgotten to take Jason's morpher.
Jason morphed and began trying to slice through the bars with his blade
blaster.
Two Arachnids dragged Billy up to the wall, where they chained
him up. Billy struggled to break free, but couldn't.
"Now, if you submit freely Billy, there will be no pain. If you resist, the pain
will be excruciating," Ivan said.
"I would never submit to you Ivan," Billy spat.
"You heroes always want to do things the hard way," Ivan replied.
Rita, Zedd, Rito, Goldar, and Master Vile appeared suddenly.
"What are you doing here?" Ivan asked.
"Divatox and the Tengucogs are handling earth. We came for the show!"
Zedd reported.
"Yes, Angel Grove is in ruins! And we couldn't miss the destruction of the
silver ranger!" Rita cackled.
"Been nice knowing ya!" Rito called. Ivan rolled his eyes.
"All right you can stay, but don't mess anything up," Ivan told them as he
turned back to Billy.
Ivan shot an electrical bolt into Billy's chest and began to extract his very
life force. Billy cried out in agony. Never had he experienced something
so painful. Life was being brutally ripped away from him. He resisted,
which increased his pain. But he didn't care. He could not let Ivan gain
his power.
Jason broke through the bars with the blade blaster. He and
Dulcea quietly slipped through and crept through the corridors. They
reached Ivan's throne room, and peaked around the corner. Both
cringed as they witnessed Billy being subjected to Ivan's evil ways.
"Guys, we need to hurry. I have a really bad feeling. Billy's in
trouble," Kat said.
"I'm sure he's fine Kat," Rocky said, trying to comfort her.
Suddenly, before them appeared a wolf. Katherine gasped.
"Do not be frightened! I am Lupis, the wolf Ninjetti animal, and Billy's
guardian. Ninjor has sent me, for I must intervene with Ivan's evil plot to
steal Billy's life force. If he succeeds, Ivan will be invincible, and my
young wolf will die," the wolf spoke.
"The feeling I have isn't just a feeling, is it?" Kat asked.
"No young flower it isn't just a feeling. Billy is in grave danger. Follow me,
we must hurry!" he called as he ran off to the palace. The others
followed in hot pursuit.
Billy cried out in pain as he attempted to resist Ivan's draining. He
could feel the life and power leaving his body at an alarming rate. He
couldn't allow Ivan to gain his power. The universe would be doomed if
he was able to gain that much power. Suddenly he heard commotion
around him. The rangers were here. They would stop Ivan, they had to.
"Jason! How'd you get free?" Trini asked.
"Ivan was careless. He seems more interested in Billy and his power,"
Jason replied.
"You are correct. If Ivan gains Billy's power, he will be invincible," Lupis
said.
"Lupis? What are you doing here?" Dulcea asked.
"Ninjor sent me. I am Billy's guardian after all," Lupis replied.
"Come on, we need to stop Ooze head," Rocky said. The rangers rushed
into Ivan's throne room, only to be greeted by the site of Billy being
drained of his very life.
"Billy!" Kat screamed.
"The power brats! Arachnids, attack them!" Ivan ordered. The rangers
began fighting them, while Ivan continued on with his plan. Lupis and
Dulcea slipped by them and approached Ivan.
"I order you to release the young wolf now," Lupis said calmly.
"Well, if it isn't Lupis, the wolf Ninjetti. Sorry pup, but I won't stop until I
have all of this boy's power," Ivan replied. Dulcea beamed Ivan across
the abdomen with her staff. This knocked the wind out of him and sent
him flying into an opposite wall. Kat finished the Arachnid she was
fighting, and quickly rushed to Billy's side.
She brushed the hair out of his face and caressed his cheek.
"Ivan has drained most of his power. But we should be able to restore
some of it,"
A very angry Ivan stood up.
"I have gained enough of his power to defeat you all! Prepare to meet
your doom power rangers of earth!" Ivan yelled as he began to transform
into a superior form made possible by Billy's power. Lightning swirled
around him. His form became less bulky and more equipped for hand to
hand combat.
"Lupis, can you help Billy?" Kat asked.
"He can draw energy from the rest of you. That will revive him and his
powers," Lupis said.
"But Ivan won't allow us regroup. I have to give him my power. It's the
only way," Kat replied.
"No child, it is much too risky. You could endanger your life. I know
William would be in endless pain if something happened to you," Lupis
replied.
"I will have to take that chance. I can't wait for the others to help. Billy
could die before that," Kat said.
"You have much spirit young flower. May the power of the Ninjetti guard
you both," Lupis replied.
Katherine removed her helmet and closed her eye. She concentrated on
bringing her power out. The power left her and entered Billy's body.
A weakened Billy opened his eyes. Kat opened hers and met his with a
passionate gaze.
"Kat? What happened?" Billy asked.
"Ivan drained you of your power. I gave you some of mine, so you should
all right for the time being," Kat replied.
"Why did you do that? You could hurt yourself doing that," Billy said.
"Don't worry about me. Right now, we have to defeat Ivan. He's
become more powerful," Kat said as she broke his chains with her blade
blaster.
Billy stumbled slightly, but then regained his balance.
"Maybe you should rest," Kat said.
"No, I'll be fine," Billy replied.
"Billy, I am Lupis, the wolf Ninjetti. You must be careful. You have been
drained of your life essence and power. If you are not careful, you could
die," Lupis said. Billy nodded.
"It's Morphin Time!" Billy called.
"Zeo Ranger 6-Silver, Power of Thunder!" Billy called. Kat put her
helmet on and joined Billy.
Ivan shocked Tommy, Adam, and Trini with a powerful thunderbolt.
The three rangers cried out in pain, and fell to the ground.
"You rangers are no match for me!" Ivan yelled.
"Pink Wind Storm" Kat called as she unleashed a powerful wind attack.
"Silver Thunder Clouds Strike!" Billy called as he tossed several crackling
orbs of lightning at Ivan. The attacks struck and stunned him. But
Ivan shook it off.
"I see your up and about Billy. Thanks for the power charge by the way,"
Ivan said.
"It doesn't matter how much power you have. We will still defeat you,"
Billy replied.
"Is that so. How about you and me. One on one. Thunder vs. thunder,"
Ivan suggested.
"Fine by me," Billy replied.
"No Billy! You're too weak, you could die!" Kat said.
"She is right young wolf. It is not a good idea," Lupis said.
"We don't have much of a choice," Billy replied as he approached Ivan.
The silver ranger twirled his lance and rushed at Ivan. Ivan prepared to
block him, but Billy flipped over his head.
"Nice moves silver, but not good enough!" Ivan yelled as he elbowed him
in the stomach. He yelped and fell on his back, but he was quickly on his
feet again. But fatigue was already taking over.
The others watched the intense battle. Suddenly, Tommy's
communicator beeped. Tommy wasted no time answering it.
"This is Tommy, Alpha is that you?" Tommy asked.
"Yes Tommy, I have finally located all of you. I have a lock on your
location,"
Alpha said.
"All right Alpha! Don't forget Dulcea," Tommy said.
"Yes Tommy, teleporting now," Alpha said. With that they all teleported
away in colored streaks.
"NO! Damn that Zordon and his little tin can!" Ivan yelled.
"What now ya purple pinhead!" Rita screeched.
"Stop your chatter. We will return to earth. The rangers can't hide in their
little power chamber forever. And I still have Billy's power," Ivan said. The
villains left the planet Phaedos as well.
The rangers and non-rangers arrived at the power chamber.
"Rangers, I'm so glad you're all right," Alpha said.
"Thanks Alpha," Tommy replied.
"Ivan has returned to earth, and he still has Billy's essence," Lupis said.
"THE SILVER ZEO CRYSTAL HAS SUFFERED A MAJOR DRAINAGE. WE MUST
FIND A WAY TO RECHARGE THE CRYSTAL, OR IT WILL PROVE TO BE FATAL
FOR BILLY," Zordon said.
Suddenly, Billy lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"On no, Billy!" Kat said as she knelt down beside him. Fresh tears escaped
her eyes and slid down her cheeks. Lupis approached Billy's form.
"Allow me to take him to Ninjor. We will find a way to restore his power
and life force," Lupis said.
"Please take care of him," Kat sobbed.
"Do not worry young flower. I will not allow him to be taken away from
you. I shall return with him," Lupis said as he disappeared with Billy.
"We need to get out there and attend to those beasts," Adam said.
"Yea, but first we need to find a white ranger. And I know just the
person," Jason said. All attention turned to Jason.
"Dulcea, you are a remarkable warrior. We welcome you to our planet
earth with open arms. Will you please help us defend our planet as the
white ranger?" Jason asked. Dulcea gasped in surprise, but then smiled.
"I would be honored to be a part of such a courageous fighting force. I
accept. Thank you Jason," Dulcea replied as she kissed his cheek. Jason
turned as red as the color of his shirt, while his friends giggled at his
reaction. Alpha presented her with the white power coin.
"We better get out there," Dulcea said. The others nodded.
"Back to action!" Tommy called.
"It's Morphin Time!" Dulcea called.
"Tigerzord!" Dulcea called.
Her uniform was slightly different than the one Tommy had worn. It was
mostly the same except she wore no vest and the uniform had a skirt.
"Okay, you guys take Scorpitron and Taranatron. We'll take Hornitron and
Cobratron. Use the Shogun zords," Tommy said.
"Right," the others answered.
"We need Shogun Zord power now!" Jason and the others called.
"Red Shogun Zord power up!" Jason called.
"Black Shogun Zord power up!" Zack called.
"Blue Shogun Zord power up!" Aisha called.
"Yellow Shogun Zord power up!" Trini called.
"White Shogun Zord power up!" Kim and Dulcea called.
They formed the Shogun Megazord and faced off against the monsters.
But the monsters proved to be more than they could handle.
"Hey Trini, do you think you can do anything with Billy's remote?" Jason
asked.
"Hang on, give me a sec," Trini said as she fiddled with the falcon zord
remote.
"There, that should do it. The Ninja Megazord should be on it's way," Trini
reported.
"We need Zeo Gem Zord power now!" Tommy and the others
called.
"Power of Wind! Pink Dove Zord power up!" Kat called.
"Power of Sun!" Yellow Condor Zord power up!" Tanya called.
"Power of Water!" Blue Shark Zord power up!" Rocky called.
"Power of Earth! Green Mountain Lion Zord power up!" Adam called.
"Power of Fire! Red Dragon Zord power up!" Tommy called.
They formed the Megazord, and Adam adjusted the remote and called
on the Zeo Megazord for back up.
Lupis arrived at Ninjor's temple with Billy.
"Ninjor, we must find a way to revive Billy. Ivan has stolen his essence,"
Lupis said.
"I was afraid of this. We must act quickly or all is lost," Ninjor said. Lupis
nodded and placed Billy on a bed.
Back on earth, the rangers were holding up well. But they weren't
sure how long they could keep it up. The civilian casualty list kept
growing and Ivan's stranglehold on the earth tightened. Things were bad
and the rangers weren't sure if they could win this one or not.
AN: Hope you liked it. Thanks for reading and please review! Bye for now!
