Mean Green part 6
The enraged White Ranger storms down the corridors of the maze in search of his foe with reckless abandon. He pays no mind to the path he takes going deeper and deeper into the labyrinth until he has no idea which path he has taken and which he hasn't. The only time he stops at all is when he sees the Green Ranger, he is trapped down a cul-de-sac directly in front of the hero.
"So found me at last, have you," the Green Ranger calls out to him, he raises his arms above his head in the universally excepted motion of surrender. "Guess there's nothing else to do but give up." His left begins to glow and the Sword of Darkness appears in his grip and leads in with a swipe from it as pulls the Dragon Dagger from its holster with his other hand.
Tommy is caught off guard by this tactic reels back and falls to the floor, his foe is showing no mercy for the fallen hero he rears back his dagger, comments about how he thought this might take longer and begins to drive the blade into the heroes gut.
Before the dagger even gets near to the Ranger the striking arm is caught by another, the Red Ranger, who comments, "it isn't that easy, you face one Ranger you face us all."
Behind Rocky are the other three Rangers who entered the maze. "Now that was rude," the Green Ranger tells them, "this is a private game 'tween me and the bloke in the white suit." The evildoer flips Rocky over at the feet of the other, and slams the Sword of Darkness into the ground. A fourth wall starts to rise between the Rangers that followed Tommy's path and the other two, "Ah privacy at last." He turns back to the Rangers leader who has made his way back to his feet, "let's dance." The fight begins in earnest.
On the other side of the new partition the Rangers are looking for a way to break through and help their friend and leader, Rocky takes control. His first attempt has the Rangers using their Dino-blasters, but they have no affect, next the blasts are concentrated on a single point, but the shiny metallic surface barely even gets warm.
"Maybe Billy can help us get through it," suggests Aisha.
"Worth a try," agrees Rocky disappointed that his plan failed, "come in Billy."
"Billy here," the communicator crackled, "the reception is awful."
"We're stuck in some old maze," Rocky explains, "we have no idea how to get back to the entrance our teleporters aren't working and Tommy and the Green Ranger are fighting in a locked room."
"With the systems off line I can't lock on to your signals to pull you out of there. I'm sure it's Zedd's maze, I'm going to call on my Hero Zord and try and destroy it."
"Thanks man, we knew you'd know what to do," Rocky turns off the communicator, "I guess now we wait."
Back on the violent side of the wall the White and Green Rangers are matched perfectly, the Ninja battlestaff has held off both weapons until it was knocked away and managing to take the Dragon Dagger with it. Now both are using their sword like weapons, and neither has the edge.
"What's matter Tommy," the Green Ranger mocked, "I thought you said I had no chance this time."
Tommy doesn't answer he just carries on fighting, and the mocking is only making him fight harder. The fight continues in much the same way for a number of minutes, the Green Ranger mocking his foe and Tommy being incredibly focused, neither one looks like they have any kind of advantage when the shock wave from an energy blast rocks the arena.
"What the hell was that, an earthquake," asks the Green Ranger taking his eyes from the fight for only a moment.
A moment is all the White Ranger needs however, he sweeps away his foes legs and drops him to the ground. One strong attack from Saba knocks the Sword of Darkness from the fallen Rangers hands, sending it into the creator left by the Pegasus-Zords laser fire. Saba is launched and single blast from the eyes of the head nestled at the end of the hilt of the enchanted sabre and the artefact of evil is no more and the spell on Eddy is broken.
"Are you still evil," asks Tommy suspiciously.
"What happened," he responds.
"It'll come back to you in a second, or at least it did with me."
"Tommy, I'm so sorry, what have I done."
"Don't worry, you acted under a spell I know what that's like."
"Not to break up this session," Rocky cuts in over the communicators, "but soon as Billy freed us Goldar went economy sized and is doing the rampage thing as we speak. We're in the Hero Zords, any help would be a plus."
"Will you help us," asked Tommy looking at his new alley.
"My pleasure, I never liked that monkey-boy anyway," is the answer he hopes for and gets.
"I need White Spiderzord power now."
"I call apon the Dragonzord," says as he picks up the Dragon Dagger from the floor and begins to use it as a flute.
The White Spiderzord and Dragonzord arrive to join in the battle where the five other Hero Zords are fighting Goldar separately. Goldar is already on the back foot, in fact the main reason they called the others was to make sure the Green Ranger was willing to fight against his former alley.
The Pink Mothzord launches it's missiles from the front rim, sending Goldar back, the Black Pantherzord fires two of it's electrified whiskers into Goldars chest, knocking him to the ground. The Blue Pegasuszord opens its mouth revealing a laser, the blast from which knocks Goldar over as soon as he regains his feet. A laser pops up along the back of the Yellow Gatorzord, Goldar is knocked to the ground again by its blast. Goldar decides not to even bother getting back to his feet, until that is the Red Manticorezord swings its tail-club at him, he barely managed to avoid the mighty weapon. He staggers back to his feet, where the Dragonzord is waiting.
"Okay guys," the Green Ranger announces, "leave him to me." He begins to play the Dragon Dagger once again.
The Dragonzord responds to the instructions and swings its tail knocking Goldar down, raises its hands to the spike on its head. Suddenly the arms swing down releasing an energy bolt that stuns Goldar, then a succession of missiles fire from the mighty machines fingers. Goldar is stunned and primed for the finish, the Green Ranger signals with his weapon/musical instrument that it's time for the finishing move of the Dragonzord. The Dragonzord turns, lifts its tail and the drill on the end begins to spin. The tail then swings, but as it hits Goldar Lord Zedd teleports him away to safety.
Minutes later at the command centre, the seven Rangers are stood in the main room. Billy is still concerned that Zordon is missing and Alpha is still not operational.
"Oh yeah," the Green Ranger remembers. He walks behind one of the data banks and removes the jamming device, "Zedd gave me this, said it knocks out all the power in the area. If I turn it off." He does so and power returns to the command centre.
More importantly Zordon returns showing no ill effects, "well done my Rangers, you have truly proven yourselves. You have defeated your greatest threat without any help from me."
"Aiyi-aiyi-yi," stammers Alpha as power returns him to life, "the Green Ranger he, he," Alpha is now face to face with the Green Ranger, "he's here."
"It's alright Alpha," Aisha reassures him, "he's on our side now."
"And I think," the newcomer says as he reaches into his belt, "it's time you knew who I am, if you don't already." He takes the coin out of his morpher and reverts back to his human form.
"It's Eddy," Kat, Aisha, Adam, Rocky, and Billy exclaim.
Tommy adds, "I knew it."
"Does anyone else think he should say 'I'd have got away with it too, if not for you pesky kids'," asks Rocky.
"Tommy," Eddy says turning to the man he had taunted mercilessly as the Green Ranger. He holds out his hand with the power coin in the palm. "I think this is yours."
A moment passes as the Rangers all watch to see Tommy's reaction, he seems a little taken back at first, but then he realises what must be done. He walks over to him and closes Eddy's hand around the coin.
"Right now," he confides so the others can't hear, "I can think of no better holder of it."
Zordon joins the private conversation, "as you are now a Power Ranger, you must follow three basic rules or lose the protection of the power. First, never use your power for personal gain. Second, never escalate a battle unless you're forced to. And finally, keep your identity secret. Do you agree to these rules."
"I do," Eddy responds, the other Rangers look thrilled to have a new member of the team.
