Part 1
'I hope I make it in time' Jarrold thought to himself as he ran to the battle. 'Their going to need as much help as they can get with all the soldiers swarming around this city.'
Jarrold ran around a corner and stopped when he saw three soldiers standing there. One of the soldiers looked up at him and pointed. "Lets get that one he'll make a good slave."
Jarrold looked at these guys and rolled his eyes. He knew that he really didn't have time for this but figured that if he didn't take em out now he would have to do it later. "Look I don't have time to deal with you guys. Just let me go and we'll forget about it."
The soldiers began to laugh. "You must be pretty tough aren't you." one of them commented. "Well come on lets go" he finished as he went to grab Jarrolds arm.
Jarrold reversed the grab and twisted his arm behind his back then brought his left leg up and kicked him in the back sending him crashing into the others.
The other soldiers stopped laughing and reached for their weapons but Jarrold was to fast for them, he grabbed the first one by the wrist and pulled him forward. He then throw a kick to the face of the second, then he finally pulled the first soldier into his knee and flipped the dazed man over his shoulder.
"That was a waste of my time. You guys are a joke." Jarrold said leaving the soldiers battered on the ground and sprinted off to find his friends.
"What do you want Goldar?" Tommy asked angrily.
"I thought that would be painfully obvious Tommy." Goldar sneered. "I want you dead."
"Well your going to have to get through me to do it you gold plated monkey!" Jason exclaimed as he stepped in front of his dad.
Goldar let out a roar. He hated it when the made fun of him. The lack of respect drove him mad to no end. "So this is the respect you teach you son Tommy. Well it doesn't matter. He will learn it at the end of my sword." With that a large golden sword appeared in Goldars hand.
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Jason asked, taking up a fighting stance.
Goldar wasn't sure if he should be impressed by the young mans bravery or worried about his stupidity. Either way he was going to do his emperors bidding and destroy kill these two father and son, Ranger and former Ranger. "You should be very scared boy. You don't stand a chance against me."
Jason was scared but he know that he couldn't let Goldar see it. His dad had told him about this monster several times and he know that Goldar had wanted to kill his dad ever since he first became the Green Ranger all those years ago. 'Not today' Jason thought. "Lets see what you've got Goldar." The new White Ranger ran at the large warrior showing no fear (even though he was trembling inside.)
Goldar lunged forward and with a quick outstretch of his arm grabbed Jasons throat and hoisted him in the air. "See how easy that was. Your pathetic and stupid to think that you can face me."
Jason could feel the life draining for his body in Goldars iron grip. He know that he didn't have long before he lost conciousness. "Run dad." he gasped.
Tommy stood frozing in place. How was he supposed to run and let his son be killed by this inhuman monster. "Let him go Goldar." Tommy pleaded. "It's me that you want."
"No Tommy this goes far beyond the two of us. My Emperor wants both of you dead." Goldar returned. "And it will be my pleasure."
"Goldar you've been wanting a piece of me for over 20 years and nows your chance." Tommy took a fighting stance, knowing that he could barely maintain it in his weakened condition.
"First you will watch me kill your son, then you will die by my hand." Goldar lifted his sword and aimed it at Jasons face.
Jarrold moved as quickly as he could knowing that it could already be to late. "Man if these soldiers catch them their going to be in big trouble." he said to himself. The Green Ranger turned a corner and saw a group of soldiers. 'Man this is getting ridiculous' Jarrold ran straight at the soldiers and charged through them.
One of the soldiers quickly recovered and pulled out a laser pistol. Jarrold saw it out the corner of his eye and jumped to the side a split second before the blast hit him. He turned around to face the soldier and saw that others were now coming towards him. He took a quick count and saw that there was 7 of them.
"Sheesh, how many of you guys do I have to beat up in one day?" he asked.
"Surrender now human and you will only go to the slave pins. Resist and we will destroy you." a soldier that seemed to be in charge ordered.
"Yeah like that's gonna happen." Jarrold said as he turned to run. 'Better call for back up.' The unmorphed Green Ranger activated the communicator on his wrist and "Tara this is Jarrold."
"Big brother where are you?" came of voice from the communicator. "Angel Grove is swarming with Vandairre and we can't get a hold of Jason.
"I know. I'm in it big time with a group of soldiers. I'm trying to find Jason and his dad now. But it doesn't look good. How fast can you be here?"
"We're already on the way. We're teleporting in now." Bryan chimed in.
"One more thing." Leslie added. "There's a Vandairre base in the city. Captian Sawyer wants it taking out."
"Let's worry about finding Jason first. But after that the base os going down. Jarrold out." Jarrold deactivated his communicator and stopped his run. 'Guess I have to deal with these idiots.' He ran at the soldiers confident in his ability to handle them.
"Goldar wait" Tommy pleaded. "I'll come with you willingly and become your slave if you let my son live."
Goldar lowered his sword and looked at Tommy all the while maintaining the grip on Jason neck. "My master wants you destroyed but I'm sure he will reconsider that if I bring you to him." Goldar pointed his sword at the ground in front of Tommy. As beam of light shot out and a pair of shackles appeared in front of the former Ranger. "Put those on."
"Dad no, don't." Jason begged.
"I don't have a choice son." Tommy said. "You guys are the worlds only hope. Plus your my son and I owe it to you after what I let happen to your mother."
Jason realized that his dad still carried the guilt for the day that his mother died. "Dad that wasn't your fault. You couldn't stop it."
Tommy looked at Goldar and then reached down and picked up the shackles. "I'm sorry Jason but I have to do this." He then placed the shackles on his arms. The bands tightened and contracted. They began to glow and energy burst out of them knocking Tommy unconcious.
"Your father kept his word Power Ranger so I will keep mine." Goldar said as he through Jason to the ground and walked to Tommy.
Jarrold hit the final soldier with a spin kick and followed it up with an axe kicked as he was standing up. "Man this is getting a lot easier." he said as he took off. He turned a corner and saw Jason being tossed to the ground by an armor clad monster. The monster then walked to Jasons dad, who was laying on the ground shackled and unconcious.
"oh man this isn't good." he said "It's Morphin Time!" Jarrolds Power Morpher appeared in his hand as it was summoned. "Eagle!"
A green light bathed the area as the young man morphed from Jarrold Scott into the Green Ranger. "Put him down monkey boy." Green called out.
"Well what do we have here?" Goldar questioned as he turned around to face the newest Green Ranger. Goldar hated all of the Rangers but Green in particular becuase it was Tommy as the Green Ranger that had handed Goldar he greatest defeat and made him lose face with Rita.
"What we have here is someone that's going to kick your sorry ass if you don't let him go." Green answered.
"You don't know who your dealing with do you boy?" Goldar shouted.
"I really don't care. You're going to get one last warning. Let him go now or you'll regret it."
"You're idle threats don't concern me Green Ranger." Goldar laughed. With that he grabbed he started to drag Tommy off.
Jarrold jumped over Jason and throw his morpher to him. "Heads up Jason, It's Morphin Time!" he called to his friend.
Jason leapt up and plucked the morpher from the air. "Lynx!" he cried out. White energy erupted from the morpher and transformed Jason Oliver into the White Ranger.
"Now you have to deal with 2 of us." Green told the monster.
"Yeah Goldar, now let my dad go and we'll make this easy on you." White added.
"While beating you ridiculous Rangers senseless sounds appealing I have other matters to attend to thanks to dear old Tommy. But I will leave you a friend to play with." Goldar said while reaching around his neck and pulling off the pendent the Vaard had given him earlier. "Abraxas arrise and finish off these power pests." With that Goldar hurled the pendent to the ground and disappeared.
"Damn!!!" Jason shouted.
"Tara, how you doing back there?" Mark asked as he kicked a soldier in his rib section.
"I'm fine." She replied. "But this guys not having a good day at all. DRAGON DAGGER!!!" The Purple Rangers small blade appeared and she turned bringing the butt of the weapon into the hand of the soldier that was creeping up behind her. She then performed a cresent kick and broke his helmet in two. The soldier crumbled to dust.
"Not bad Tara, but how do you like this one." Yellow said. Today was unlucky for the soldier that she was facing. The Yellow Ranger was in a competitive mode at the moment and decided that she was going to out do the Purple Ranger. To prove her point she kicked one soldier in the chest which sent him flying into another, she then followed that up by executing 3 moves so fast it seemed like a blur. First she swept a soldiers foot causing him to lose his balance, next she side kicked him into the other 2 soldiers that she had just cuased to tumble and finally she ran up and punched the front soldier so hard that it all three of their helmets slammed together and shattered. All 3 turned to dust and blow away in the wind.
Purples eyes went wide under her helmet but she wasn't going to give Ashlyn the satisfaction of knowing that she was impressed. "Ehh, big deal. Watch this." Purple throw her Dragon Dagger at a soldier hitting him square in the helmet. The soldier instantly turned to dust and the dagger continued on its path directly into the back of another soldiers helmet. Purple followed up with a side kick that hit the dagger and sent it completely through the soldiers helmet. The soldier did as all the others had done and turned to dust. The dagger started to fall to the ground but before it hit the Purple Ranger kicked the handle with the side of her foot and send it flying at yet a 3rd soldier, who to had his helmet split. The dagger continued on its path and stuck in a wall just as the remains of the soldier blew away. "Impressed Ashyln?" The Purple Ranger mockingly asked.
"Well I sure as hell am." Blue answered. The picked up a soldier by the legs and spun him around before slamming him headfirst into the ground with a helmet shattering thud.
"Man these guys are no fun to beat up anymore. Their to easy." Purple commented. "I'm just going to finish this off. PLASMA BOW!!!" The Dragon Dagger disappeared and was replaced by the Purple Rangers newly modified weapon. "Now Ashlyn here is one of the modifications I made to it. Rapid Fire!!!" Streams of super heated plasma errupted from the bow and impacted with several soldier disintegrating them.
"Damn, maybe I should try that. Earth Sword." Yellow said lightly. She hated to admit it but Tara had vastly improved her weapon and she wa anxious to try it out. Her weapon however didn't appear as it was supposed to. "Tara what did you do to my sword?" She asked angrily.
"Sorry I meant to tell you before you tried to use it. The changes I made to it also changed how you summon it. Call for the Quick Blade." Tara answered.
"Okay, Quick Blade." The Yellow Rangers weapon appeared in her hand. It looked slightly different but felt lighter and stronger at the same time. She could feel more power coursing through it in just the few seconds that she held it. Ashlyn began to swing her weapon at the soldiers. With the slightest movement the weapon began to blur and when it impacted a vibration emmanated from the blade and shook the soldier literally to pieces.
"Your welcome Ashlyn." Tara quipped.
"Damn that guys pretty big we better call for help." Green said. he placed his hand on the side of his helmet "Bryan we're fighting some kind of monster here and we could use your help."
"On our way Jarrold." came Blue response. "So it's safe to assume that you found Jason."
"I'm fine but my dads not in such good condition." White chimed in.
"We'll be right there as soon as... oh nevermind Tara just finished off the last one we're on our way in now."
"Aron do you read me? This is Jarrold. We need help here." Jarrold called.
"I'm here Jarrold. What's going on?" Aron returned.
"We're in Angel Grove and we need help getting rid of a monster."
"Alright on my way now." he replied. He looked around and saw that Jenn and Kari were still in the lake swimming and decided he had better teleport out now before they came back.
Aron appeared unmorphed just as the others arrived. "I guess It's Morphin Time" He said as his morpher appeared. "Bull!!!" red energy shot from the morpher and tranformed Aron in to Red Ranger. He looked at Abraxas and saw the large monster looked like a giant bipedal porcupine with over-sized claws and 8 spikes protruding from his head. "Man this guy sure is an ugly one."
"Yeah, well the uglier they are the more we kick their butt." Blue remarked.
Jarrold looked around at each Ranger and gave a nod. As if by instinct they all surrounded the monster and begin to move in closer to it. One by one they ran in to attack.
Tara executed a leap kick, but the monster despite its large size ducked under her attack. With a quick backhand it sent the Purple Ranger flying away several hundred feet.
Jason ran in next. He tried for a punch, but Abraxas blocked it and slashed his chest with the claws from its hand. Jason dropped to one knee and clutched his chest. The monster to this chance to kick him in the head. The White Ranger feel over and started to black out.
Aron attacked immediately after and hit the monster in the back with a chop that would have brought down a tree. Abraxas roared with anger and grabbed the Red Rangers helmet spun him around over his head and tossed him into the Black Ranger, who was just about to make his move. Both Power Rangers got tangled up and fell down in a disheaveled heap.
"Fire Whip!!!" Pink Ranger called out. The weapon that had servered her well thus far appeared in her hand and she moved in for an attack. With a flick of her wrist she let the weapon lash out. It found its mark around the monsters leg. He responded by pulling forward, with all of his strength and dragging Leslie off her feet. She came skidding toward him and just as he was about to reach her Abraxas lifted his hands and put them together to execute and double hand smash. The breath was driven out of her lungs and the Pink Ranger layed stiff gasping for air.
"Damn this guys tough." Green said as he reached forward. "Storm Sword!!!" The double bladed weapon materialized from thin air into his hand. Jarrold pulled the weapon apart into its smaller sections and moved in next to the Red and Yellow Rangers. "Guys we have to hit this thing at the same time. He's to strong to take one on one."
The Red and Yellow Rangers nodded in agreement.
"So what's your plan boss?" Aron asked.
"We hit him with everything we have at the same time. That should by the others time to get up and pull their weapons."
"Sound like a good idea to me." Yellow said. "Quick Blade." For the second time that day Ashlyn summoned her new weapon. She was starting to like the way it felt. 'I'm going to have to tell the runt she did a good job when this is over.'
"Flame Sais!!!" Red called out. His twin weapons appeared in his hands. The weapons seemed different, slightly larger and more balanced. He tried not to pay much attention to it. As long as the were there when he called for them it didn't matter.
"Let's take this freak." Green Ranger said to the others.
The 3 Rangers that were still standing ran in to attack Abraxas.
