Silver Hope
Chapter 13
Kat and Billy arrived on Edenoi. The planet looked different than Billy had remembered it. No longer was the planet covered in toxic gas. The Edenite palace stood gracefully in the distance, and people roamed about happily. Cities and marketplaces were flourishing once again, just as they had before the arrival of Count Dregon.
"Wow, I can't believe this," Billy said.
"What is it?" Kat asked.
"Last time we were here, toxic gas polluted the air, the palace was crumbling into ruins, and people were hiding out of fear. It's so good to see that things have changed for the better," Billy said. Kat smiled and squeezed his hand.
A hovercraft slowed to a halt beside them. Prince Dex stepped out to greet them.
"Hello Billy, it's nice to see you again. Who is this?" Dex asked.
"Hello Dex, this is my girlfriend Katherine, the pink zeo ranger," Billy introduced.
"It is a pleasure Katherine," Dex said with a bow.
"It's a pleasure for me also, and please call me Kat," she replied. Dex nodded in agreement.
"Come, I will take you to the palace. You can settle in your quarters, then we will dine and discuss why we have asked for your assistance," Dex said.
"I am a little inclined to ask why you need me. Your planet looks worlds better than it did from the last time we were here," Billy said as he and Kat climbed into the hovercraft.
"Yes, we are doing quite well. But our technology could still use quite a boost. I'm sure you'll see what I mean when you look at some of our computers and databases. But I will see to it that you won't work the whole time you're here. Edenoi is a planet of the arts, and there are many entertaining things to see. You and Kat can accompany Farian
and I, and see what Edenoi has to offer," Dex said.
"Thanks Dex," Billy replied.
"Yes, that sounds rather romantic," Kat whispered to Billy as she entwined her fingers with his. Billy flashed her a gentle smile.
They arrived at the palace and stepped out of the hovercraft.
They followed Dex into the palace, where they were shown their quarters. Kat and Billy's rooms were directly across from each other. They settled in and changed into something slightly on the formal side. They were having dinner with the king, prince, and other royals of Edenoi.
Kat changed into a sleeveless baby pink dress. It was simple yet elegant, with a v-neck collar and somewhat thick straps. She completed the ensemble with matching dress sandals a matching set of pearl earrings, bracelet, necklace, and anklet. She left her hair down mostly, and put it partially back in a barrette.
Billy changed into silver button down shirt and black slacks, with black shoes. Billy cleaned his contacts and put them back in. He quickly combed his hair and went to knock on Kat's door.
Kat opened her door and Billy's eyes went wide.
"Wow Kat, you look amazing," Billy said.
"Thank you, you're pretty handsome there too," she replied as she looped her arm inside his and they walked to the dining room together.
Kat and Billy sat across from Dex and Farian. The king sat at the head of the table. And Zarian and Donais sat further down on Dex's side.
"Grandfather, this is Billy Cranston, the silver zeo ranger, and Katherine Hillard, the pink zeo ranger from earth," Dex introduced.
"It is a pleasure to meet you both," King Lexian said.
"We're honored to meet you King Lexian," Billy said.
"Everyone eat and enjoy," the king announced.
Billy and Kat ate heartily. They found the food on Edenoi to be different, but delicious. Many of the dishes were vegetarian, because they didn't have much meat at this time. But the dishes were very good nonetheless.
They had soon finished eating.
The stars on Edenoi are beautiful at night. If you and Kat would like to go tour the garden, you may. It's right out back," Dex said.
Billy silently thanked Dex. Being alone with Kat was just what he wanted. And he was sure that Kat was also thankful for the time alone.
Kat and Billy joined hands and exited the palace, and entered the beautiful palace garden.
Kat awed at the beautiful flowers that we growing in the garden. Billy turned his attention to the sky and awed at the beauty of the stars. Edenoi had three beautiful moons. At the moment, one was full, one was a quarter full, and the other was half full.
"Wow, these stars and moons are incredible," Kat said.
"Yea, they're gorgeous...like you," Billy replied as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. She leaned into his embrace. They kissed briefly and continued to hold each other.
"I wish we could fly up there, you know, amongst the stars," Kat said dreamily. Billy smiled and put his zeonizers together.
"Billy, what are you doing?" Kat asked. Billy removed his helmet, and secured it on his belt.
"You said you wanted to fly," Billy said.
"I do, but we're not supposed to use our powers for personal gain," Kat reminded.
"We're light years from earth. And besides, I think we've earned the privilege to cheat just a little," Billy replied. Kat smiled and put her arms around Billy's neck, as he picked her up and held her in his arms. Billy used his Pegasus flight power to lift them off the ground. Kat held onto him tightly, as Billy began to floated through the sky.
"This is incredible Billy," Kat said.
"Yea," Billy replied as he stopped in mid-air and hovered. Kat squealed lightly as Billy turned her upright, and held her up by her waist. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. She responded with hunger as their lips danced in an ageless rhythm.
The view of the heavens was breathtaking. The pink ranger giggled with delight as Billy soared across the sky. He looked down at her form.
He awed at how the moonlight reflected on her blonde hair, making it appear like pure silk. For that moment as he gazed at her, he forgot about all the troubles that faced them. His only focus was her.
Kat looked up at Billy. Despite the growing concern with their enemies, Kat felt completely safe in his arms. As a little girl, she had dreamed of being a princess, and being protected by a charming prince on a white horse. Fate had really smiled on her. Silver Knight on a Pegasus was even better. She snuggled closer to her prince as he began to descend back into the garden.
Billy landed, but he and Kat still held each other close. He was about to demorph, when a rude voice interrupter them.
"So this is where you two have been. Naughty, naughty, not telling us you were leaving. That wasn't nice," Wil said. He had Cestria, Violet, and Kyle with him.
"What do you want here?" Billy asked.
"Must you ask that Billy?" Cestria replied.
"Get a life fish girl," Kat replied. Cestria glared evilly at Kat.
"Who are you!" Dex yelled.
"Scum sent by Zedd," Billy replied. Wil and the others transformed into the evil rangers. Billy put his helmet on, while Kat morphed.
"Zeo Ranger 1-Pink, Power of Wind!" Kat called.
"Ecto Phase Activate!" Dex called as he became the Masked Rider.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be? Bug boy?" Kyle asked.
"I am the Masked Rider, defender of the planet Edenoi," Dex said.
"Three against four, I like those odds," Wil said. And the battle on Edenoi began.
"It's great to hear that things are good on Edenoi," Tommy said.
"Yea, bet that makes you happy Alpha," Rocky said.
"Aye yi yi, it does," Alpha replied.
"Yea the only thing we have to worry about is Billy and Kat behaving themselves," Tanya added. The others laughed. Suddenly, the alarm went off.
"RANGERS, OBSERVE THE VIEWING SCREEN. IT APPEARS THAT ZEDD HAS REVAMPED SERPENTERA. HE AND HIS OTHER EVIL MINIONS ARE ATTACKING EARTH. YOU MUST STOP THEM," Zordon said.
"Right Zordon, It's Morphin Time!" Tommy 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.
"It's Morphin Time!" Dulcea called.
"Pterodactyl!" Kimberly called.
"Triceratops!" Aisha called.
"Tyrannosaurs!" Jason called.
"Mastodon!" Zack called.
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!" Trini called.
"White Tiger!" Dulcea called.
The two Zeo Megazords, the Ninja Megazord, and the Shogun Megazord intercepted Serpentera's assault.
The Zeo Gem Megazord swiped Serpentera with the Thunder Lance, hoping to get a good first blow in. But the thunderbolt attack didn't do any damage.
"That's impossible!" Tommy yelled.
"How could Zedd have improved Serpentera that much?" Kim asked.
And then something very unexpected happened.
Serpentera stood fast and opened its massive jaws at Zedd's command. What came out was the last thing the rangers expected.
Nine miniature Serpentera's exited the mother Serpentera, and awaited commands. Goldar, Rito, Scorpina, Divatox, Klank, Jessie, Jeff, Chloe, and Sean piloted the nine 'babies', while Rita and Zedd, along with Mondo and Machina continued to command the 'mother'.
"Oh my Gosh," was all Trini could utter.
"Now scatter, and destroy the earth!" Zedd ordered. With that command, each mini-Serpentera took off in a different direction.
"What are we going do?" Tanya asked.
"I think the Shogun Megazord is the best bet against the mother Serpentera," Adam said.
"I agree. I'll take the falcon. Zack disengage zeo zord 2 and take the Bull. Adam, take the Mountain Lion. Kim take the crane. Trini, take the Phoenix. Aisha, take the Wolf. Rocky, take the Dragon. Tanya, take the Condor. And Dulcea, take the Dove. Jason, I want you to take on the mother Serpentera with the Pegasus Shogun Megazord. Each of you go after a 'baby' Serpentera," Tommy ordered. They all nodded and began to put the plan into action.
Billy delivered a roundhouse kick to Wil, but the clone caught his leg. Wil knew all of Billy's moves, and was stronger because of Zedd's power. But he wasn't as smart. He would have to outwit the enemy, as he had done many times in the past.
Kat was fighting Violet and Cestria furiously. The girls had ganged up on Kat out of hatred for her. Because she had the one thing they wanted and would never have. Kat landed on her back after a drop spin kick from Cestria. Kat quickly somersaulted backwards and got on her feet again.
"Pink Metallic Armor, Power up!" Kat called. Her uniform sparkled with the protective armor. Kat held their vicious attack at bay thanks to her metallic armor and wind saber.
Dex found Kyle to be a fairly formidable opponent. But the Masked Rider had a few advantages on Kyle. Kyle was soon defeated by the power of the Masked Rider's Ecto saber. He left the defeated ranger and went to help Billy.
"You help Katherine, I'll fight him. He doesn't have the advantage on me that he does on you," Dex told Billy. Billy nodded and left to help Kat, while Dex and the evil midnight blue ranger fought. Ecto saber against blue power lance.
Cestria and Violet were not holding up well against both Billy and Kat. Wil saw this, and he also saw that he had the disadvantage against Dex. He made a secret transmission with Zedd, using the com inside his helmet.
Zedd, we're not winning. Do you wish us to continue? Wil asked.
We are winning here. Return to earth and aid us. When you get here, I will have Klank put a barrier around the earth, which will cut off all outside communication and teleportation. Billy, Kat, and their Masked Rider friend won't be able to help their friends. And once the earth is conquered, we will all go after Edenoi, and the rest of the universe, Zedd told him.
As you wish my emperor, Wil replied. And with that, he and the other evil rangers disappeared.
"What was that all about?" Dex asked.
"I don't know, but we better contact Zordon," Billy replied, as he began trying to get through on his communicator.
The alarm sounded in the power chamber.
"What is it Alpha?" Zordon asked.
"Aye yi yi! Zordon, Zedd had encased the earth in a barrier. We can't contact Billy and Kat, and they can't teleport home!" Alpha shrieked.
"THIS IS MOST DISTURBING. THE RANGERS ARE IN GRAVE DANGER. YOU MUST TRY TO DEACTIVATE THE BARRIER," Zordon said.
"Aye yi yi, I'll get right on it," Alpha replied.
"That's weird, I can't get through at all," Billy said.
"What do you think that means?" Kat asked.
"Well, it could mean that there's just too much interference, and that I should try later. Or it means that the earth is under attack, and someone, namely Zedd, is blocking communication," Billy said.
"What do we do Billy?" Kat asked.
"We keep trying. Other than that, there's nothing we can do, but stay put," Billy replied.
"Let's get back to the palace. Maybe we can solve this problem there," Dex said. Billy and Kat agreed, and followed Dex.
The miniature Serpentera's released their fire breath upon the earth, devastating everything in their paths. The other four evil rangers had joined Zedd on the mother Serpentera, which was currently fighting the Shogun Megazord and destroying Angel Grove.
Countless cities and towns were being attacked. No one was safe, and the death toll was already detrimental. The rangers were trying their best. But if the rangers didn't do something drastic to turn the tables, total worldwide destruction would be just days away, and Zedd would be in control. The rangers were already suffering battle fatigue. Things looked dark for the planet known as earth. And whether the earth had a future of any sort was uncertain.
AN: Hope you liked it! The battle continues in chapter 14. What will be the outcome? Find out in chapter 14, coming soon! Thanks for reading, and please review!
