Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf

Chapter 39: Hero

"The time has come to complete my master plan Astronema! Summon all evil forces!" Dark Spector.

"Let the battle begin!" Astronema praised, as she raised her diamond shaped speared staff into the air.

5...4...3...2...1...Rangers in Space!

Set controls to outer space now

Flying higher than ever before

Rangers...

Go power rangers...Go power rangers

Go...Go...Go...Fly!

Go power rangers...Go power rangers...

Go...In Space!

Astronema stood upon a balcony in front of her monstrous army.

"When we're finished, there will be no good, no happiness, no love. Only chaos, greed, anger! Fight strong and destroy all the forces of goodness, especially the power rangers," Astronema spoke. The minions cheered and prepared for their mission.

"Go now and spread the wrath of Dark Spector!" Astronema ordered.

~*~

"This is the biggest battle yet," Sprocket squeaked.

"Prepare for the battle of the century!" Mondo announced, as he released his cogs and Quadra fighters in hoards.

~*~

Divatox cackled, as her overtake of Aquitar was coming along nicely. The Aquitian rangers were fighting hard, but were nearly defeated.

~*~

Astronema entered the bridge, only to be bothered by Elgar.

"Princess, I have Rita and Zedd on the line.

"We don't need your plan, we...have our own!" Zedd argued.

"Yeah!" Rita agreed.

"You will follow orders," Astronema stated.

"Who put you in charge?!" Rita spat.

"Dark Spector himself," Astronema answered.

"Ah...well, we love your plan," Zedd replied.

"That's what I thought," Astronema said, as she turned to a covered tube. She pulled the sheet off to reveal Zordon. The bottom half of his energy tube was filled with a rising orange glow, indicating that his energy was being drained.

"Well Zordon, it looks like your energy will soon be drained," Astronema said.

"YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS ASTRONEMA," Zordon replied.

"I already have. You have a front row seat to the end of your era. And beginning of mine,"

~*~*~*

The Gold Ranger fought heavily against Rita and Zedd's onslaught, but he was completely outnumbered. Soon, he would be forced to surrender or he would perish.

~*~

"They're attacking in hoards. We can't hold them off much longer," one Kerovian announced. Zhane got up and prepared to leave.

"Zhane?" a woman asked.

"I'll be back, with the other rangers," he said, as he morphed and left on his glider.

On his way to the Astro Megazord, he narrowly escapes a massive amount of Velocifighters.

"They're attacking everywhere. I don't know how much longer KO-35 is going to hold up," Zhane reported.

"Rita and Zedd are attacking the Vica galaxy. The Vica have no defenses," Trini reported.

"They won't know what hit them," Adam finished.

"I've got something on radar," Billy announced.

"Velocifighters. There's over a thousand!" Adam announced.

"Where are they heading?" Rocky asked. Horror covered Billy's face.

"Earth," he announced.

Andros took the helm and set the coordinates for earth.

"Hold on earth," he whispered.

"You guys go, I'll keep them busy up here," Zhane said. The rangers nodded and the transformations began.

"It's Morphin Time!"

"Let's Rocket!"

~*~*~*

Chaos broke out on earth, as the invasions began. People ran rampant through the streets, trying to get away from the hoards of creatures. Suddenly, their beacon of hope arrived. The Ninjetti and Astro rangers arrived on their gliders. The power rangers would save them.

I am so high, I can hear heaven

I am so high, I can hear heaven

Oh, but heaven, no heaven, don't hear me

"Look, it's the rangers, how predictable," Ooze said sarcastically. Vile laughed, as sent a blast to Kat's glider. It made a direct hit and sent Kat spiraling into the air.

"Billy!" she screamed. Billy saw her falling fast and went after her. He caught her just before she hit the ground. The two blue rangers stood in front of Vile and Ooze. This would be their final battle.

And they say that a hero can save us

I'm not gonna stand here and wait

I hold on to the wings of an eagle

Watch as we all fly away

The rangers paired up and began to fight off the creatures. But there were just too many and the rangers were losing ground fast.

"How are we supposed to fight this many!" Skull wondered.

"I don't know, there's no way," Bulk replied.

"Stay strong guys," Tommy encouraged.

Someone told me, love will not save us

But how can that be?

Look what love gave us

A world full of killing

A blood spilling

That world never came

Tanya and Adam were taking a serious beating and soon it became too much. They demorphed due to the strenuous attacks. Adam helped Tanya up and they began to run.

Trini demorphed as did Jason.

"We have to retreat!" Trini called. Jason took her hand and they met up with the others.

And they say that a hero can save us

I'm not gonna stand here and wait

I hold on to the wings of an eagle

Watch as we all fly away

Zhane had arrived in the Mega Winger and gave them some aid. But the Mega Winger took some bad hits and was soon down as well. The rangers found their way to a secluded corner of rubble where they regrouped, Kat and Billy being the last to arrived. Kat coughed from the dust.

"Are you okay," Billy asked breathlessly.

"I'll be fine," she replied. He touched her stomach and worry lined his face. They both knew that she would have to have a thorough check up after this.

All around them, Piranhitrons and Quantrons herded humans like cattle into a common place.

"They cannot hide forever," Vile said.

"No, they shall show again and try to save their stupid mud ball of a planet. But right now, I have something I must do," Ooze replied.

"What is that?" Ivan asked.

"I must see to the destruction of Dark Spector," he replied.

"And just how to you think you'll be able to do that?" Vile asked

"I will simply steal the super torpedo that Astronema has designed for earth," Ooze replied. He left in a streak of purple and boarded his space ship in which he already had the stolen torpedo aboard.

~*~*~*

"Astonema, prepare the torpedo and destroy the earth," Dark Spector ordered.

"As you wish, my lord," she said, as she prepared to leave her quarters.

Ivan was approaching Dark Spector and he readied the torpedo.

"King Ivan, it has a nice ring to it," Ivan said, as he fired the torpedo. Dark Spector was taken by surprise and he began breaking up.

"Dark Spector? What's going on?" Astronema asked. The evil villain began to explode, but he turned to see his killer.

"Traitor!" Dark Spector growled, as he bit down on the small space craft. Together, both began to explode. Dark Spector and Ivan Ooze were dead.

"Dark Spector, destroyed? How can this be?" Astronema asked.

~*~*~*

Debris floated down to earth. They were the last remains of Dark Spector. Suddenly, Astronema's ship descended to the earth. A projection of Ecliptor appeared in the sky. Everyone in the universe could see this.

"Dark Spector has been destroyed. Astronema is now supreme ruler of evil," Ecliptor announced. Astronema's face appeared and evil everywhere bowed to their queen willingly and reluctantly. Vile gathered that Ooze had been successful, but lost his life in the process since Astronema was still in control. He cursed Ivan's failure, for he hated not being in control.

~*~*~*

"KARONE, NOW THAT DARK SPECTOR IS GONE, YOU CAN BREAK HIS CONTROL. ARE YOU SO FULL OF EVIL THAT YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR OWN PLANET," Zordon coaxed. The chip on her forehead began to malfunction, but she resisted again.

"I am not just evil, I am the queen of evil!" she announced, as she prepared to go down to earth.

~*~*~*

Astronema appeared to the people of earth outside her ship.

"People of the earth, it is your time to surrender. The power rangers aren't going to save you. They've already tried and they failed! The rangers are among you. Bring them to me by tomorrow morning, or I'll destroy you all. It's either them or you!" she threatened.

Frantic humans began discussing what to do. Some believed the rangers had left them, but others knew that their heroes were only regrouping and devising a plan. The rangers had never let them down before.

~*~

"I'm going to Astronema's ship. Maybe I can reach her," Andros said.

"Andros, you have to face it. Karone is gone," Zhane pleaded.

"I will never accept that," he replied hotly.

"Wait Andros, let me come. We still need to free Zordon," Jason said. Andros nodded, as they morphed and left for her ship.

~*~

The morning came quickly and Astronema arrived calling for the rangers. But they didn't show. Desperately, the people begin claiming to be rangers.

"Fine, then you'll all die!" Astronema said, as she prepared to fire on them.

"Stop! We are the power rangers!" Tommy announced. Twelve people stood on a ledge over looking the citizens. Everyone turned to gawk at them. They knew that their lives would never be the same after this moment, but none of that was important now.

"It's Morphin Time!" Tommy called.

"Let's Rocket!" Zhane called.

"Ninjetti-The Falcon!" Tommy called.

"Ninjetti-The Crane!" Kim called.

"Ninjetti-The Bear!" Aisha called.

"Ninjetti-The Ape!" Rocky called.

"Ninjetti-The Frog!" Adam called.

"Ninjetti-The Wolf!" Billy and Kat called.

"Dragon Zord!" Bulk called.

"Pink!" Tanya announced.

"Black!" Skull announced.

"Yellow!" Trini announced.

Silver!" Zhane announced.

The rangers began to fight again. Billy and Kat approached Vile for what they all knew would be their final bout.

Now that the world isn't ending

It's love that I'm sending to you

It isn't the love of a hero

And that's why I fear it won't do

"My my Katherine, are you sure that it's all right for you to be out here on the battlefield. Your child could die!" Vile threatened, as he thrusted his staff toward her abdomen. Billy blocked it.

"Wolf Battlized Armor!" Billy called.

"Wolf Saber, Warrior mode!" Billy called. He tossed his lance to Kat and she snapped it in two. She crossed the forked weapons in front of her.

"You won't get anywhere near our baby. Besides, I know that Lupis and Lupina would never let anything happen to our baby, or us" Kat replied.

And they say that a hero can save us

I'm not gonna stand here and wait

I hold on to the wings of an eagle

Watch as we all fly away

And they're watching us

They're watching us

As we all fly away

And they're watching us

They're watching us

As we all fly away

And they're watching us

They're watching us

As we all fly away

"Face it Vile, you're finished," Billy stated.

"We'll see," Vile said, as he launched at Billy.
