Chapter 2
________________________________________________________________________________________________
The three power ridded rangers started to stumble and crawled backwards slowly as Venusha started to approach them. Not knowing what to do and they were just hoping the other guys will get there soon.
"A little down are we?" the monster snickered.
--------------------
In space...
"Zurgane! It seem that your surprise Kelzaks attack on the rangers, failed again." stated Lothor.
The evil space ninja was in main room watching one of the t.v viewing screens as talked to his general.
"Yes, about that...I'm very sorry sir..." Zurgane started.
"Well at least one of the monsters you chose is doing a better job than the other ones before and getting rid of the rangers as we speak." sighed the ninja as he continued to watch.
"Excuse me sir?"
"Are you getting hit in the head too much or is there no oxygen gettin up there? You heard what I said."
The general walked over to where Lothor was and looking at the viewing screen himself.
"Uh sir, that alien monster its not from my army." Zurgane turned to him.
"She not?" Lothor looked back at him with a confused face.
"No sir."
"Just like I suspected, some things are just too good to be true. Then where did she come from?!" the space ninja shouted into his general's face.
"Uh....."
Lothor just rolled his eyes and huffed and growled in frustration and turned his attention back to the battle.
--------------------
Just when Venusha was getting close to the three downed rangers, engine noises can be heard approaching them. The plant monster lifted her head just in time to see the other rangers on the Thunder ranger's Tsunami Cycles riding towards them.
Tori was on Blake's bike sitting behind him with her arms around his waist and Kaze was the same with Hunter. The rangers on bikes approached, they leaped into the air and both bikes fired energy shots at the alien. Venusha got hit and was knocked down as the two bikes soar over her.
Once the bikes landed and kept going a bit, the two thunders quickly did a U-turn and head back to where the monster was. Both Kaze and Tori stood up on the back of the bike seat and quickly jumped off and did an aerial flip and both of them slashed the monster with their swords.
The monster was knocked back a bit and immediately the thunder rangers jumped off their bikes and flipped through the air and both of them kicked the plant monster in the chest and knocked her down. The four rangers quickly gather around the others to see if they were okay or not.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Tori.
"What happened?" added Blake.
"That garden weed absorbed our powers." answered Shane and stood up along with Dustin and Cam.
"And you four are next!"
The rangers turned back towards where Venusha was and the monster was standing again and was ready to fight. The plant monster charged at the rangers and Blake, Tori, Kaze and Hunter charged right back at her. The thunders came right up to her first and swing their short staffs at her but she block them with her pod hands. She then pushed them away and hit both brothers with her hands and knocked them aside.
Kaze came right after with his sword and manage to slash her three times but Venusha grabbed hold of his sword on the forth slash and hit him with her hands and quickly slammed him in the chest and sent him flying backwards. Tori quickly changed her sword into blaster mode and fired at the creature and hit her but it didn't do much damage. Venusha brushed herself off and thrusted her right pod hand at the blue ranger and it opened up. Immediately the vines within shot out and wrapped around the ranger and quickly pulled her in.
"You're up first girly!"
Tori flew through the air, right into the grasps of the plant monster and Venusha released her absorbing cord out and attached them to the ranger. Immediately the ranger of water started to have her powers drain and began to get weak like the other three rangers who had their powers drained too.
"Tori!" shouted Blake as he and Hunter ran towards them.
Venusha quickly turned towards them and opened up her other flower pod hand and released a spray of energy at them and knocked them back to the ground. Eventually the draining was complete and the cords deattached from the ranger and Venusha quickly toss Tori away from her. The blue ranger went flying into the air and landed near the other powerless rangers and automatically demorphed.
Kaze was standing now and had watched the entire thing and his head followed Tori's flight through the air, after the monster had drained her of her ranger powers. That was also unfortunate for him since he wasn't looking out for the monster and he was snagged by her vines too from behind.
"Huh? What the?" the shogun tried to free himself.
"Its your turn!" and Venusha reeled the white ranger in.
"Whoa!" and Kaze was pulled into the monster's grasp.
Immediately the plant opened up her plant breast plate and released her absorbing cords onto the shogun ranger and started to drain his powers.
"Let go...of me...you stink...pod..." the ranger struggled as he started to weaken from the drain.
"Kaze!"
The thunders quickly ran at them but the white ranger's power drain was complete and the monster reattract her cord and threw the shogun at the thunders. Hunter quickly caught his flying boyfriend and both of them were knocked back down to the ground. Both of them hit the ground and Kaze was on top of his boyfriend and he automatically demorphed.
"Kaze you okay?" the crimson ranger sat up with his love.
"Yeah, just a bit sore. You better go help Blake."
"Okay stay here." and he stood up and ran to help his brother out.
Blake had his staff extended to its long length and started to attack Venusha with it and Hunter jumped in with his extended long staff and hit the monster in the back. The monster stumbled forward and rolled onto the ground and back into a standing position and faced the two rangers who were left. The plant thrusted her pod hands forward and opened them up, two ball of vines shot out and landed in front of the thunder ranger's feet.
"Uh? What the?" both brothers just looked at the things before them.
Suddenly the balls of vines moved and unravelled themselves and came to life and wrapped themselves around the two rangers. Taken by surprise and no time to react, the thunders were trapped within the plant bindings. Quickly Venusha released her vines from her flower pod hands and each grabbed hold of one of the thunders and pulled them towards her.
Once they were next to her, just like the others she released her cords from her body and started to absorb their powers. Once the finally rangers' powers were absorbed, she toss them away and they hit the ground and demorphed. All the now powerless rangers gathered together and faced the monster.
"What a delicious meal, thanks for helping us. I got to go now but how about I take a rain check!" and the monster disappeared.
The ninjas just stared at the spot where the monster had been and wondered what she was up to, taking their powers and leaving like that.
"Come on guys, lets get back to Ninja Ops." stated Cam and everyone started to leave.
--------------------
Back in the mountains...
We see Shimazu and Venusha walking back into the cave opening where the warlord was before and they walked into the main cavern. Both of them walked up to the large dark crystal and the woman from before appeared in front of them.
"Well?"
"We have success and obtained the powers like I said that can free you." hissed Shimazu.
"Then what you waiting for? Hurry up!" shouted the woman.
"Yes my lady, you will be free soon." replied the monster.
Venusha stepped forward and just stood there for a moment and her breast plate where she keeps her absorbing cords opened up. Then seven balls of different colored energy the size of jumbo marbles, floated out and into the monster's pod hands. She tossed them into the air and they floated up to where the woman in glass was and started to circle her.
The woman put her hands together into a ninja stance and started to chant something and the balls of energy started to circle her faster. Then the balls were sucked and absorbed into the crystal and it started to glow. Moments after the ranger's powers were absorbed the crystal started to crack all over. Then the crystal shattered and broke into a thousand shards and they dropped to the ground like glass shattering. Still around the woman was the seven ranger's powers which started to fade and eventually dissipate into the air and was gone.
The woman then dropped her arms and opened her eyes and she slowly stepped off the stand with the help of Shimazu and Venusha and looked around.
"Finally, after all these centuries I'm finally free!" she laughed out.
"Welcome back." stated the warlord and bowed.
"Now Shimazu, I want you to take me to this Lothor that you had told me about and see he is what he claims to be." she turned to him.
"Of course!" and all three of them disappeared.
--------------------
At Lothor's ship.....
Lothor had just finish watching the battle of the unknown monster and the power rangers and he was getting annoyed that she didn't finish them off.
"Why is it that every time when the rangers are close to defeat, they're always given a chance to live!" shouted the space ninja frustratedly.
"But I thought getting rid of their powers would end their ranger days." said Zurgane.
"Yes but leave them with my nephew for a day and they can regroup and we're back to where we started! And where is Shimazu, I thought he said he had a plan to get rid of the rangers."
"I'm right here sir!" and Shimazu walked right into the room at that moment.
"Where have you been?!"
"Like I said, getting rid of the power rangers."
"Getting rid of the power ranger?! All I have seen so far is a over size house plant, stealing the ranger's powers! Unless you say that she was your plan, I'm going to throw you into a wormhole!"
"Let me introduce you to someone first." the warlord said nervously.
He moved over and out of the way a bit and from the entrance, in walked the woman from the cavern and following behind her was Venusha.
"You!" the evil space ninja pointed at the monster.
"And you are?" he referred to the mystery woman.
"Let me introduce you to my cousin, Ninkana."
"Your cousin?" stated Zurgane.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Lothor, my cousin had told me so much about you." Ninkana walked forward and did a semi bow.
"And what have he told you exactly?"
"Almost everything, esspecially your goal of taking over the earth. Which I want to join you and be a part of." she answered.
"Oh? Then where have you been all this time?"
"You see centuries ago I was well known in Japan like my cousin here, a well known reign over the land with my dark magic. But it was ended when priests and priestesses from the side of good and holy joined together to stop me.
Using their powers they battled against me and trapped me in a casing of glass and store me away in a mountain cavern. In order to free myself, I need a power that was greater than the powers that trapped me there and the ranger's powers were just enough for me to be freed and gain some of my powers back." explain Ninkana.
"Then why should I let you join me if you say you're as powerful as you claimed to be but still was defeated?" Lothor crossed his arms and looked at her.
"She's a dark ninja priestess. She has great mystical abilites that can help you with your conquest of the earth. She is the one that summon Venusha here and the one who gave me my Wolf Blades and from what you saw they can be quite formable opponents." explained Shimazu.
"Oh really? Then I'll just have to see it myself. Seeing that stealing the ranger's powers were a good started and your monster wasn't that disappointing, I wait on my decision on how you will get rid of those rangers."
"As you wish." the priestess answered.
--------------------
Back at Ops...
The guys were back from their battle with Venusha plant monster and hoped that they could get some answered. Everyone were standing and sitting around the table, where sensei was standing at the moment.
"What happened out there anyways?" Tori asked.
"As far as I know, that monster absorbed all of our ranger powers." Cam answered.
"If she absorbed our powers, why aren't we weak like the last time when Madtropolis took our powers." stated Hunter.
"Unlike Madtropolis who took your ranger power life force, this monster only took you ranger powers not your life's energy." explain sensei.
"So what should we do now? I mean is there anyway to get our powers back?" asked Shane.
"I really don't know but my best bet to get our powers back is to defeat her." the green ninja stated.
Then suddenly the main computer went on alert and the alarm sounded. The samurai dashed to the computer quickly and typed on the keyboard and the screen opened up, showing Venusha back again walking at the rock quary and was ready to fight again.
"Oh great, weed root is back." commented Blake.
"So what do we do? We got no powers. This day is getting more bummed by the minute." sighed Dustin.
"Like always we face whatever challenges we come up to, no matter what the situation is." Kaze turned to everyone.
"He right and what I can do about our powers....like before I can give our morphers a temporarily power boost but I'm not sure how long it will last." Cam typed a couple of commands and like before their morphers glowed with power.
"Hopefully long enough to smash that weed. Alright lets go for it, guys!" said Shane and everyone went into position.
"Be careful rangers, remember to use what you know from before and learn from you mistakes." sensei said wisely and the rangers nodded.
"Ninja storm, Thunder storm, Samurai storm, Shogun storm, ranger form. Ha!" they called out.
"Ninja ranger power!" and they morphed.
--------------------
At the rock quary...
The rangers arrived and looked around the place but staying close to each other since their powers were so weak now. Since the last battle with Venusha they had took caution with this monster and was ready for anything that the plant monster might trying to pull.
"I don't like this guys." started Dustin.
"Don't we all." added Blake.
"Now where is that garden horror?" questioned Shane as his head turned.
"Maybe she saw that we brought our garden sheers and decided to high tail out of here." joked Hunter.
"A garden sheer? We need a weed wacker more like it." stated Tori.
"Nah, I say weed killer is so much better." Kaze suggested.
"You know, I always like botany but after this, I'm getting second thoughts about it." finished Cam.
Then out of nowhere a blast of energy flew right at them and they were hit but they manage to roll away safely. All the rangers look up to where the attack came from and they Venusha walking towards them with her flower hand pods opened up.
"So there you are, we thought you decided to bury yourself and never come back up." said the red ranger as he and the others stood.
"You're still cocky even what happened with the last time?" the monster peered at them.
"This time it will be different!"
The rangers quickly pulled out their swords and staffs and charged at the plant while Venusha charged at well. The guys started to attack her with their weapons and Venusha got hit but she manage to block some and countered back.
Shane and Tori went in and striked her with their swords once and almost a second time but the monster blocked and countered, hitting them back and pushed them away.
"Crimson Blaster!"
Hunter pulled out his blaster weapon, got in front of the plant and fired multiple shots at her and all of them hit her directly. The attack knocked her back a bit but manage to set her footing and released a spray of energy from her flower hands, right back at the crimson ranger. Immediately the navy ranger stood in front of his brother and quickly changed his staff into its shield mode.'
"Thunder Shield!" and it reflected the attack back at Venusha.
Her own attack hit her and she was thrown flying to the ground. Venusha slowly stood up again from the heavily damage she recieve but it wasn't over yet. She thrusts both arms forward again and her pods opened up and they release their vine balls at the two thunders.
At that moment Cam and Kaze came flipping in and rebounded of the two thunder's shoulders and like playing soccer both kicked the balls of vine, back at her. Surprised by that move, Venusha got hit again by her own attack and was thrown back.
"This is it! Its time for you to lose your powers once more!" shouted Venusha.
She rushed at them and started to attack them with rage and hit them one by one as she passed them. She then thrusted her pods forward and release their vines out at the rangers and caught hold of Blake and Tori. The two blues were started to get dragged towards the plant girl and others quickly grabbed hold of them and pulled them back.
"You think that will stop me from draining your powers!"
Venusha opened up her breast plate and her absorbing cords launches out in a stretch to the two blue rangers and attached to them and started to drain their powers. Then out of nowhere Dustin bursted out of the ground right in the middle between the plant and his friends and brought his sword up in a giant swing and severed the two absorbing cords and vines.
"My cords! My beautiful cords! You all gonna pay for that!"
"I don't think so, lady!" retorted the yellow ranger.
"Ninja Shadow Battle!" and a rainbow colored screen came up.
We then see the shadows of each of the rangers attacking Venusha with Dustin going first who dashed across slashing her right in the middle. He was then followed by Cam who slashed her right down a top of her head, then Shane who did a flying kick right in her back. Hunter was next jumping in with a twist and attacked the plant monster on top part of her body. Ending with Tori who came sliding in near the ground slashing her near the monster's feet, knocking her into the air. The shadow battle ended and Blake took out his Navy Antler and combined it with his staff.
"Navy Antler Staff!"
With his combo staff the navy ranger quickly grabbed hold of Venusha with it, right at her waist and lifted her into the air. He started to swing her around in a circle and navy colored lightning started to electricute her from his weapon. Finally after three full turns he threw her away into the air.
Kaze immediately jumped in, flipping through the air and landed on Blakes shoulders then jumped off again. The shogun flew right at the plant who was still in the air and started to kick her in the chest multiple times. While he was kicking her through the air, the ranger pulled out his bow.
"Wing Bow!"
With one last kick the white ranger kicked the monster away from him and quickly pulled the string on his bow back. Once notched, a white energy arrow formed and he released it right at the flying monster. The spray of energy arrow shots hit Venusha right on the mark and sent her crashing into the ground. Kaze landed on his feet and grouped up with the others as Venusha struggled to stand up as she was hurt immensely.
"Lets end this guys!" called out Shane.
Everyone pulled out their weapons and split up into their groups and formed their respected blasters.
"Storm Striker!"
"Thunder Blaster!"
"Trinity Cross Shooter!"
"Fire!" they all shouted.
The three energies from each of the ranger's blasters came flying out and formed into one giant ball of power. The attack hit Venusha and it engulfed her in a blind of light and exploded, destroying her completely.
"Yeah! Alright! We did it!" all the rangers celebrated.
But their cheering was cut short when a blast of a dark energy ball hit them and sent them flying through the air. The guys landed onto the ground all sprawled out and groaned and moaned as they were seriously hurt by it. Since their battle with Venusha had use up most of their temporary powers, the energy attack that hit them was so strong that they lost all their remaining powers and automatically demorphed.
"What just happened?" groaned Dustin as he looked around to no one particular.
"That seriously hurt." moaned Tori and she and the others started to get up.
Suddenly a slow loud dark laughter was heard and the rangers turned their heads all around them to see who it was. Out of the smoke where Venusha was destroyed, walked the dark ninja priestess Ninkana who was holding a dark energy ball in her right hand.
The rangers looked at her in surprise and stared at her wondering who she was and narrowed their eyes as she approached them.

Just when Venusha was getting close to the three downed rangers, engine noises can be heard approaching them. The plant monster lifted her head just in time to see the other rangers on the Thunder ranger's Tsunami Cycles riding towards them.

"Are you guys okay?" asked Tori.

"That garden weed absorbed our powers." answered Shane and stood up along with Dustin and Cam.
"And you four are next!"
The rangers turned back towards where Venusha was and the monster was standing again and was ready to fight. The plant monster charged at the rangers and Blake, Tori, Kaze and Hunter charged right back at her. The thunders came right up to her first and swing their short staffs at her but she block them with her pod hands. She then pushed them away and hit both brothers with her hands and knocked them aside.
Kaze came right after with his sword and manage to slash her three times but Venusha grabbed hold of his sword on the forth slash and hit him with her hands and quickly slammed him in the chest and sent him flying backwards. Tori quickly changed her sword into blaster mode and fired at the creature and hit her but it didn't do much damage.

Tori flew through the air, right into the grasps of the plant monster and Venusha released her absorbing cord out and attached them to the ranger. Immediately the ranger of water started to have her powers drain and began to get weak like the other three rangers who had their powers drained too.
"Tori!" shouted Blake as he and Hunter ran towards them.
Venusha quickly turned towards them and opened up her other flower pod hand and released a spray of energy at them and knocked them back to the ground. Eventually the draining was complete and the cords deattached from the ranger and Venusha quickly toss Tori away from her. The blue ranger went flying into the air and landed near the other powerless rangers and automatically demorphed.
Kaze was standing now and had watched the entire thing and his head followed Tori's flight through the air, after the monster had drained her of her ranger powers. That was also unfortunate for him since he wasn't looking out for the monster and he was snagged by her vines too from behind.
"Huh? What the?" the shogun tried to free himself.
"Its your turn!" and Venusha reeled the white ranger in.
"Whoa!" and Kaze was pulled into the monster's grasp.
Immediately the plant opened up her plant breast plate and released her absorbing cords onto the shogun ranger and started to drain his powers.
"Let go...of me...you stink...pod..." the ranger struggled as he started to weaken from the drain.
"Kaze!"
The thunders quickly ran at them but the white ranger's power drain was complete and the monster reattract her cord and threw the shogun at the thunders. Hunter quickly caught his flying boyfriend and both of them were knocked back down to the ground. Both of them hit the ground and Kaze was on top of his boyfriend and he automatically demorphed.
"Kaze you okay?" the crimson ranger sat up with his love.
"Yeah, just a bit sore. You better go help Blake."
"Okay stay here." and he stood up and ran to help his brother out.
Blake had his staff extended to its long length and started to attack Venusha with it and Hunter jumped in with his extended long staff and hit the monster in the back. The monster stumbled forward and rolled onto the ground and back into a standing position and faced the two rangers who were left. The plant thrusted her pod hands forward and opened them up, two ball of vines shot out and landed in front of the thunder ranger's feet.
"Uh? What the?" both brothers just looked at the things before them.

"What a delicious meal, thanks for helping us. I got to go now but how about I take a rain check!" and the monster disappeared.
The ninjas just stared at the spot where the monster had been and wondered what she was up to, taking their powers and leaving like that.
"Come on guys, lets get back to Ninja Ops." stated Cam and everyone started to leave.
--------------------
Back in the mountains...
We see Shimazu and Venusha walking back into the cave opening where the warlord was before and they walked into the main cavern. Both of them walked up to the large dark crystal and the woman from before appeared in front of them.
"Well?"
"We have success and obtained the powers like I said that can free you." hissed Shimazu.
"Then what you waiting for? Hurry up!" shouted the woman.
"Yes my lady, you will be free soon." replied the monster.
Venusha stepped forward and just stood there for a moment and her breast plate where she keeps her absorbing cords opened up. Then seven balls of different colored energy the size of jumbo marbles, floated out and into the monster's pod hands. She tossed them into the air and they floated up to where the woman in glass was and started to circle her.
The woman put her hands together into a ninja stance and started to chant something and the balls of energy started to circle her faster. Then the balls were sucked and absorbed into the crystal and it started to glow. Moments after the ranger's powers were absorbed the crystal started to crack all over. Then the crystal shattered and broke into a thousand shards and they dropped to the ground like glass shattering. Still around the woman was the seven ranger's powers which started to fade and eventually dissipate into the air and was gone.
The woman then dropped her arms and opened her eyes and she slowly stepped off the stand with the help of Shimazu and Venusha and looked around.
"Finally, after all these centuries I'm finally free!" she laughed out.
"Welcome back." stated the warlord and bowed.
"Now Shimazu, I want you to take me to this Lothor that you had told me about and see he is what he claims to be." she turned to him.
"Of course!" and all three of them disappeared.
--------------------
At Lothor's ship.....
Lothor had just finish watching the battle of the unknown monster and the power rangers and he was getting annoyed that she didn't finish them off.
"Why is it that every time when the rangers are close to defeat, they're always given a chance to live!" shouted the space ninja frustratedly.

"Oh great, weed root is back." commented Blake.
"So what do we do? We got no powers. This day is getting more bummed by the minute." sighed Dustin.
"Like always we face whatever challenges we come up to, no matter what the situation is." Kaze turned to everyone.
"He right and what I can do about our powers....like before I can give our morphers a temporarily power boost but I'm not sure how long it will last." Cam typed a couple of commands and like before their morphers glowed with power.

At the rock quary...
The rangers arrived and looked around the place but staying close to each other since their powers were so weak now. Since the last battle with Venusha they had took caution with this monster and was ready for anything that the plant monster might trying to pull.
"I don't like this guys." started Dustin.
"Don't we all." added Blake.
"Now where is that garden horror?" questioned Shane as his head turned.
"Maybe she saw that we brought our garden sheers and decided to high tail out of here." joked Hunter.
"A garden sheer? We need a weed wacker more like it." stated Tori.
"Nah, I say weed killer is so much better." Kaze suggested.
"You know, I always like botany but after this, I'm getting second thoughts about it." finished Cam.
Then out of nowhere a blast of energy flew right at them and they were hit but they manage to roll away safely. All the rangers look up to where the attack came from and they Venusha walking towards them with her flower hand pods opened up.
"So there you are, we thought you decided to bury yourself and never come back up." said the red ranger as he and the others stood.
"You're still cocky even what happened with the last time?" the monster peered at them.
"This time it will be different!"
The rangers quickly pulled out their swords and staffs and charged at the plant while Venusha charged at well. The guys started to attack her with their weapons and Venusha got hit but she manage to block some and countered back.
Shane and Tori went in and striked her with their swords once and almost a second time but the monster blocked and countered, hitting them back and pushed them away.
"Crimson Blaster!"
Hunter pulled out his blaster weapon, got in front of the plant and fired multiple shots at her and all of them hit her directly. The attack knocked her back a bit but manage to set her footing and released a spray of energy from her flower hands, right back at the crimson ranger. Immediately the navy ranger stood in front of his brother and quickly changed his staff into its shield mode.'
"Thunder Shield!" and it reflected the attack back at Venusha.
Her own attack hit her and she was thrown flying to the ground. Venusha slowly stood up again from the heavily damage she recieve but it wasn't over yet. She thrusts both arms forward again and her pods opened up and they release their vine balls at the two thunders.
At that moment Cam and Kaze came flipping in and rebounded of the two thunder's shoulders and like playing soccer both kicked the balls of vine, back at her. Surprised by that move, Venusha got hit again by her own attack and was thrown back.
"This is it! Its time for you to lose your powers once more!" shouted Venusha.
She rushed at them and started to attack them with rage and hit them one by one as she passed them. She then thrusted her pods forward and release their vines out at the rangers and caught hold of Blake and Tori. The two blues were started to get dragged towards the plant girl and others quickly grabbed hold of them and pulled them back.
"You think that will stop me from draining your powers!"
Venusha opened up her breast plate and her absorbing cords launches out in a stretch to the two blue rangers and attached to them and started to drain their powers. Then out of nowhere Dustin bursted out of the ground right in the middle between the plant and his friends and brought his sword up in a giant swing and severed the two absorbing cords and vines.
"My cords! My beautiful cords! You all gonna pay for that!"
"I don't think so, lady!" retorted the yellow ranger.
"Ninja Shadow Battle!" and a rainbow colored screen came up.
We then see the shadows of each of the rangers attacking Venusha with Dustin going first who dashed across slashing her right in the middle. He was then followed by Cam who slashed her right down a top of her head, then Shane who did a flying kick right in her back. Hunter was next jumping in with a twist and attacked the plant monster on top part of her body. Ending with Tori who came sliding in near the ground slashing her near the monster's feet, knocking her into the air. The shadow battle ended and Blake took out his Navy Antler and combined it with his staff.
"Navy Antler Staff!"
With his combo staff the navy ranger quickly grabbed hold of Venusha with it, right at her waist and lifted her into the air. He started to swing her around in a circle and navy colored lightning started to electricute her from his weapon. Finally after three full turns he threw her away into the air.
Kaze immediately jumped in, flipping through the air and landed on Blakes shoulders then jumped off again. The shogun flew right at the plant who was still in the air and started to kick her in the chest multiple times. While he was kicking her through the air, the ranger pulled out his bow.
"Wing Bow!"
With one last kick the white ranger kicked the monster away from him and quickly pulled the string on his bow back. Once notched, a white energy arrow formed and he released it right at the flying monster. The spray of energy arrow shots hit Venusha right on the mark and sent her crashing into the ground. Kaze landed on his feet and grouped up with the others as Venusha struggled to stand up as she was hurt immensely.
"Lets end this guys!" called out Shane.
Everyone pulled out their weapons and split up into their groups and formed their respected blasters.
"Storm Striker!"
"Thunder Blaster!"
"Trinity Cross Shooter!"
"Fire!" they all shouted.
The three energies from each of the ranger's blasters came flying out and formed into one giant ball of power. The attack hit Venusha and it engulfed her in a blind of light and exploded, destroying her completely.
"Yeah! Alright! We did it!" all the rangers celebrated.
But their cheering was cut short when a blast of a dark energy ball hit them and sent them flying through the air. The guys landed onto the ground all sprawled out and groaned and moaned as they were seriously hurt by it. Since their battle with Venusha had use up most of their temporary powers, the energy attack that hit them was so strong that they lost all their remaining powers and automatically demorphed.
"What just happened?" groaned Dustin as he looked around to no one particular.
"That seriously hurt." moaned Tori and she and the others started to get up.
Suddenly a slow loud dark laughter was heard and the rangers turned their heads all around them to see who it was. Out of the smoke where Venusha was destroyed, walked the dark ninja priestess Ninkana who was holding a dark energy ball in her right hand.
The rangers looked at her in surprise and stared at her wondering who she was and narrowed their eyes as she approached them.
