Here we go. I present to you the Part Two. Crank up "Go Green Ranger, Go!"
and read on.
"Dragonzord!" A column of darker green light surrounded and enveloped the now youthful Tommy. He could feel his powers returning to him for the first time in over 50 years. The light quickly became sucked inward to one point, as if being drawn in by a minute black hole. That point was center diamond on his golden Dragon Shield.
"This is incredible!" Tommy exclaimed.
"Ai-yai-yai! It's so wonderful to see one of the original Power Rangers!" Alpha chirped happily. "But you mustn't delay Tommy. It's time for you to face Zonor."
"Let's do it!" With that, Tommy teleported out of the Command Center. Alpha looked at the worn viewing globe in dismay. The image shown was the mini- Serpentera trashing downtown Angel Grove.
"Oh, do be careful Tommy..." Alpha said to himself.
"Aw, man..." Tommy grimaced beneath his helmet. Zonor's serpentine Zord raised its right fist and bashed a building at its midpoint, causing it to bend over and collapse. Its neck jerked to the side and it sprayed laser blasts horizontally across the cityscape.
"I've got to stop this," Tommy instinctively reached down to his left side and grasped a familiar dagger hilt. He slowly raised his infamous blade and looked at it briefly before putting the mouthpiece to his helmet's lips. He began to play the hauntingly beautiful melody that no one had heard in half a century. As the last note rung in his ears, a loud splash erupted from the nearby port, and a recognizable roar sounded.
Tommy smiled inwardly and continued playing. The Dragonzord flexed its long- dormant joints, and its drill-blade tail whirred satisfactorily. It roared again, and began its march to the battlefield.
"Alright! Dragonzord go!" Tommy leapt on top of his old Zord's head.
"Man, this brings back memories..." he mused before jumping inside the cockpit. Inside the control center, he turned on the Zord's external speakers and shouted a challenge into the broadcaster.
"Hey, Zonor! Over here!" Initiating the set of commands so that the Zord would follow his every move, Tommy raised a fist, clenched his fingers, and threw his arm outward, fingers splayed. The Dragonzord responded by loading missiles in its metallic fingers and let loose the explosive volley. They were direct hits across the enemy Zord's torso.
"What is this!? I was told all the Power Rangers had been deactivated for years!!" Zonor cried out in shock from inside his Zord.
"Well think again! I was there when we defeated your parents and I'm all- too-happy to take you down as well!" Tommy broadcast from his Zord.
"Prime missile volleys two and three," he cut the broadcast and said to his own Zord. This time, he raised both fists, and then sent them out fingers wide. The load of projectiles streaked out toward mini-Serpentera. The other Zord raised an open hand to block the incoming shots. It managed to stop two or three, but the rest connected on the Zord's outstretched arm, and up the length of its snake-like neck. It staggered under the successive blows of the attack.
"I don't know who you are, but I will take great pleasure in accomplishing the one feat my parents could never achieve, the destruction of the Power Rangers!" Zonor laughed heartily. His hands flew over the controls of the mini-Serpentera. Suddenly, the Zord's neck snapped backward like a whip then forward in a S-shaped motion. A beam of energy shot from its mouth, connecting with the center of the Dragonzord's chest armor. Tommy stumbled backward, his own body reacting to the damage his Zord was taking. Zonor pressed the attack, and the Dragonzord fell backward through a building, crashing to the ground.
"Alright, new tactic then," Tommy said as he got the Zord to its feet. The Dragonzord reared back, letting out a mighty roar. It bent over slightly and began running toward Zonor.
"You're actually trying to attack me without weapons?! You are a fool!" Zonor activated the twin eye beams, which scattered in all directions – but failed to strike the Dragonzord. Tommy began to gain momentum. Frantically, Zonor extinguished the eye beams and powered up the mouth cannon again. Just as he was about to let loose another devastating energy attack, Tommy head-butted the mini-Serpentera, lifting it off its feet.
"Yeah!" Tommy pumped a fist as he watched his opponent roll end over end before tumbling to the ground. Just as Zonor was about to get up, Tommy swung the Dragonzord around, tail-drill whirring. The tail-drill flashed across mini-Serpentera several times, a rain of sparks flying in all directions. As the Dragonzord made another pass, one of mini-Serpentera's forearms shot upward and grabbed the tail just beyond the spinning blades.
"Uh oh," was all Tommy could say before Zonor's Zord rose, still holding the Dragonzord by the tail. "This can't be good... I've got to break free!" Zonor solidified his grip by bringing the Zord's other forearm to grasp the tail. The tail-drill spun, with no effect. Suddenly, Zonor jerked back on the tail as if he were playing tug-of-war with a rope. The entire Dragonzord shook from the stress, and it let out a piercing cry as it wobbled around on its toes. Zonor yanked again, further damaging the Dragonzord.
"Augh! At this rate he's going to rip off the Dragonzord's tail! What can I do...?" Tommy steadied himself in the Zord's cockpit. Pausing for a moment, he rested his helmeted chin on a gloved hand. "Wait... that's it!" he shouted. The Dragonzord's knees buckled, and it crouched low.
"What is he planning to do?" Zonor asked, obviously confused by the new tactic. The Dragonzord quickly sprang upward, swinging its tail down and forward. The motion dragged Zonor's Zord across the ground and into view. Mini-Serpentera's left arm lost its hold.
"Ready, load missile volley four! And... FIRE!" The missiles streaked outward, heading right toward the shoulder junction of the right arm, which had already reached its limit in terms of movement, due to the surprise throw. Upon impact, the resulting explosions severed the arm at the shoulder. The Dragonzord landed, and flung its tail to the side, causing the amputated arm to fly off into the distance.
"NO!!!" Zonor cried out in anger. Fluids and sparks poured out of his Zord's fresh wound. Tommy quickly spun the Dragonzord so the tail-drill bore into the shoulder stump.
"Energy levels dropping! Back-up systems beginning to fail! This can't be happening!" Zonor beat the controls with clenched fists.
"It's over Zonor, you're finished!" Tommy broadcast aloud. Mini-Serpentera shook its head in a negative response.
"The Zord may seem useless, but I still have one ace up my sleeve. Prepare to be destroyed, Power Ranger!" Zonor cut the speakers and opened a secret panel to reveal a large glowing blue button. "If I have to lose this Zord, then yours will go down with it!" Zonor laughed maniacally.
"What the...?" Tommy saw his opponent's Zord go limp - even its giant cranium sagged downward over its chest. "Wait a minute..." an eerie blue light began emanating from mini-Serpentera's head. The neck quickly snapped up unexpectedly, jaws wide.
"Full power into the mouth cannon! This should do it..." Zonor waited until the blaster's energy had maxed out before he set a short timer and leapt from the Zord to the ground. "Goodbye, last of the Power Rangers," he sneered.
"Did he just do what I think he did? This is looking worse by the minute... I better get the Dragonzord out of here!" Tommy exited the Dragonzord and jumped from the head to a nearby building. He pulled out the Dragon Dagger and played the return notes. The Dragonzord began lumbering back to its watery resting place.
"Not so fast!" Zonor said. Mini-Serpentera's eyes glowed incredibly intense, then shattered into a million shards of plasteel. A huge blue- white beam left the Zord's mouth with a thunderous boom. Tommy watched in horror as the beam struck the Dragonzord in the back, sending it flying – propelled by the beam. The beam ran out of energy just as the Dragonzord flew above the water in the port. Billowing with smoke and charred with damage, the Dragonzord plunged into the blue waters. It sank quickly, disappearing beneath the tossing waves. Nearby, the energy depleted mini- Serpentera collapsed in a smoking heap, completely powerless.
Tommy stepped off the edge of the building, flipped mid-air, and landed in a crouch. He stood up cautiously, seething with rage. Slowly, he began to step forward, walking with a deliberate pace toward Zonor. The son of Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa stuck his chest out defiantly, holding his sword at his side.
"Zonor!!!" Tommy shouted in challenge. He held the Dragon Dagger out, its glistening point aimed at Zonor's throat. "Let's finish this!!!"
"Dragonzord!" A column of darker green light surrounded and enveloped the now youthful Tommy. He could feel his powers returning to him for the first time in over 50 years. The light quickly became sucked inward to one point, as if being drawn in by a minute black hole. That point was center diamond on his golden Dragon Shield.
