A while later, the rangers arrived outside of Skull Caverns. The six got out of the Rescue Rover.
"All right you guys, ready?" Carter asked. The other five nodded.
"Lightspeed Rescue!" they shouted and morphed. (besides ryan obviously who morphed his own way)
"Let's go," Carter ordered. The six rangers began to make their way up to Skull Caverns' entrance.
"Man! How long have we been walking?" Joel asked exasperated after they had walked for what seemed like forever.
"Don't worry, we're almost there," Chad told him.
"Good," Joel sighed. About five minutes later, the rangers were at the top.
"Ok. Let's go in," Ryan said. The six rangers walked in and were shortly greeted by batlings. They began to fight the batlings. The one fighting Dana had moved her all the way back to the edge of the cliff.
"Dana! Look out!" Kelsey yelled, but it was too late. Dana fell backwards over the cliff. The batlings disappeared. All the rangers hurried over to the edge and looked down. They saw Dana barely hanging onto a rock that was sticking out of the side of the cliff.
"Help!" she cried.
"Hold on, we're gonna pull you back up!" Carter called to her.
"What are we gonna use?" Kelsey asked him.
"Rope, you moron," Joel replied sarcastically.
"Joel!" Ryan scolded. "My sister is hanging on for her life right now, we do not need your sarcastic remarks!"
"Ok. Kels, you have some rope in your hiking bag right?" Carter asked her.
"Yeah, but that's all the way back down in the Rescue Rover," Kelsey replied.
"Carter, I could call for my part of the megazord. You know, it's a plane, therefore I could fly Kelsey down there real quick and she could get it and we could fly back up here!" Joel pointed out.
"Ok. Do it," Carter told him. Joel called for it and it soon came.
"Just hold on a little longer Dana, we're gonna get you up. Come on, Kels," Joel said. He and Kelsey got into the plane and flew down to the Rescue Rover.
"Carter? Why didn't you just have Joel fly it down to Dana and get her that way?" Ryan asked.
"Oh. I didn't even think of that!" he exclaimed.
"What?! You moron! Now I gotta hold on longer? Ugh, I can't hold on very long! My hands are slipping! And the rock is too! Get me out of here!" Dana screamed.
"Just hold on, Dana," Carter called to her.
"That's easy for you to say, Carter. I have been in that situation before. It's not easy to hold on," Ryan pointed out.
"Good. Here come Kelsey and Joel," Chad interrupted.
"Finally!" Dana sighed. "Ah! Guys! The rock! I can't hold on any longer!"
"Hold on. They're almost back," Ryan told her.
"It's coming out! I'm slipping! I'm--" Dana started screaming as the rock came out of the side of the cliff and she began to fall toward the ground.
"Dana!" Carter, Chad, and Ryan yelled.
"Great!" Ryan yelled as the three turned away from the cliff. "Just perfect!"
"Ryan, I'm so sorry," Chad told him.
"No. It's Carter's fault! He's the one that made her wait so long!" Ryan yelled.
"Ryan, I-" Carter started.
" 'Hold on Dana, they're just flying to the Rescue Rover. They'll be back soon.' Look now! If you wouldn't have made her wait so long to come up!" Ryan yelled.
"Ryan?" came a voice from behind them. They turned to see Kelsey and Joel in the plane with Dana in the back.
"Dana!" Ryan exclaimed. "How did you---- when did---- how--- what?"
"After I fell, Joel and Kelsey flew under and caught me in the back," Dana explained.
"I see. Thanks guys," Ryan told them.
"Ok. Dana's ok. Now we need to get in there and banish them," Carter said.
"Right," Chad agreed.
"Let's go," Joel said. The six rangers went back into Skull Caverns and it was pitch black. No one could see anything.
"Where is everyone?" came Kelsey's voice.
"I don't know. Probably hiding. They probably know we're here by now," Carter told her.
"Hey, maybe it's back there," Ryan pointed down to his left. There was a long tunnel. Blue light was glowing from it.
"Maybe. Let's check it out," Chad said. The six rangers made their way down the blue tunnel.
"I wonder how long this goes," Joel said.
"Power rangers!" came a loud booming voice. They looked around. No one else was there.
"Where are you?" Joel yelled. "Show yourself!"
"Fools! What are you doing in my Caverns?" asked the voice again. By now it was quite clear who the voice belonged to.
"We've come to fight you, Queen Bansheera. Where are you?" Carter called.
"Very well. Mind you, you have no chance of winning this battle as I have many monsters that I could put up against you. And I will. But try if you must. Turn to your right and walk until you come to me," the voice said.
"Oh we'll come all right. And then we'll never have to see you again!" Joel yelled. The voice ended with an evil laugh.
"Ok. Come on guys, to our right," Carter said. They turned to their right.
"There's nothing there," Dana said.
"No. Really? I thought we had just opened the gates to Disneyland or something," Joel said sarcastically.
"Hey! Shut up! We've gotta find out how to get there," Carter ordered.
"Yeah. But how?" Kelsey asked.
"I don't know," Carter replied.
"Ya know, why do you answer all the time? Maybe she was asking someone else for a change? Every time someone asks something you answer. Why is that?" Joel asked.
"Hey look," Ryan pointed to the black wall and an opening glowing green appeared.
"All right then. Let's go," Ryan said. The six rangers made their way down the passage way until they came to a dark room.
"This is it guys. Ready?" Carter asked.
"You have no choice," came the voice of Queen Bansheera. "Because I am ready. And whether you are or not, we are beginning." Suddenly Vypra jumped out in front of them.
"Did you really think you had gotten rid of me? Did you really think I would be gone so easily?" she asked.
"You want the truth?" Joel asked stupidly.
"That would be nice," Vypra replied.
"Ok. Then yeah I did," Joel told her truthfully.
"Fools! Well. This will be our last battle. You know why?" she asked.
"Yeah. Because this time you actually will be defeated. We'll see to that," Carter told her.
"Oh really?" she asked.
"Yeah!" Chad exclaimed.
"Then take this!" she yelled and fired her weapon at them. They fell to the cold hard stone ground as Vypra laughed evilly.
"Vypra, come here," Queen Bansheera called. Vypra went over to the queen leaving the rangers on the ground.
"Vypra and Jinxer are the only ones left. We've just gotta banish Vypra. Then we can get to Jinxer. If Jinxer's gone, the queen will not have any way of getting more monsters. Then we just have to take care of her," Carter explained quickly.
"Oh, yeah. That sounds easy enough," Joel said sarcastically. "We don't even know how to banish them genius."
"Maybe we could try to get them into that tomb over there," Chad suggested pointing. Everyone looked over.
"Good idea. Ok. Let's do it," Carter agreed. The rangers stood up.
"Vypra! We're ready for you!" Joel yelled.
"Good. Because I have a new weapon that I wanna test," Vypra said smartly.
"New weapon? Carter, that was not part of the plan," Joel whispered. Vypra evilly laughed and fired. It hit Chad and knocked him through a stone wall. Vypra laughed again.
"Whoa. That thing is powerful!" Joel exclaimed. Kelsey and Dana ran over to help Chad while the guys stayed to fight Vypra.
"Guys, we have to disarm her," Carter told them.
"Right," the two replied simultaneously.
"Hey Vypra!" Joel yelled. Vypra looked over and Joel fired his blaster at her.
"Again with those puny little lasers?" she sighed. "Aren't you the least bit tired of seeing those fail yet?"
"They won't fail this time!" Joel yelled as he fired again, this time hitting Vypra. She fell backward.
"Chad, I'm gonna go find Jinxer. I'll bring Ryan with me. You girls stay here and back Joel up and help Chad," Carter said hurrying over to the other three.
"Ok," Kelsey said. Carter ran back over to Ryan.
"Let's go," he said.
"Won't the queen know?" Ryan asked. Carter looked over at Queen Bansheera.
"No. She's too interested in Joel and Vypra," Carter replied. The two took off to find Jinxer. When they came across him, he had his back turned to them, so it was easy for them to fire and trap him.
"Now let's get him back to the tomb and see if we were right," Ryan said as they tried to hold a struggling Jinxer. They hurried back to where the main fight was being held and quietly snuck to the tomb.
"Queen Bansheera!" Jinxer suddenly screeched.
"You just can't make this easy can you?" Carter said quietly. Queen Bansheera turned quickly and saw Carter and Ryan pushing the lid off the tomb.
"Stop! Vypra! Go stop them!" Queen Bansheera ordered. Vypra ran over to the tomb and just as they were about to throw Jinxer in, Vypra Hit Ryan in the back of the head with the tip of her weapon. Ryan was knocked out. He was unmorphed.
"Ryan!" Dana cried.
"Dana, go help Carter. I'll stay here with him," Kelsey told her.
"Right," Dana hurried off to help Carter who was fighting Vypra while Joel was trying to recapture Jinxer.
"Dana! Help," Joel called to her. Dana ran over and helped Joel in trying to catch Jinxer.
"Joel! I got his arm. Get the other," Dana called. Joel grabbed his other arm. Jinxer was struggling to get free as Joel and Dana carried him over to the open tomb.
"Queen Bansheera!" Jinxer screeched but this time it was too late. Jinxer had been pushed into the under world.
"Great. Now let's go help Carter," Joel said.
"Right," Dana agreed. The two hurried over and attacked Vypra from behind. Vypra fell to the stone ground knocked out cold. Queen Bansheera stood up and began to walk over as Carter and Dana picked Vypra up to get rid of her.
"Kelsey! Help Joel fight the queen!" Dana called to Kelsey who was still sitting over with Chad. Kelsey ran over to help Joel keep the queen away from Dana and Carter as they pulled Vypra over to the tomb.
"All right. Let's get this over with," Carter said.
"Right," Dana agreed. The two rangers dumped Vypra into the tomb where she was greeted by many other monsters in the under world.
"And now for the queen," Carter said under his breath.
"Let's go," Dana said. Carter and Dana hurried over to help Kelsey and Joel fight the queen. The fight went on for a long time. Then, out of nowhere, a huge blast threw the queen over the side of the tomb. The four rangers looked around. Ryan had woken up and fired at the queen.
"Ryan!" Dana cried.
"Carter, we have to seal the tomb again," Ryan said urgently.
"Again with the 'Carter's," Joel mumbled.
"Let's do it," Carter said. The five rangers hurried over and saw Queen Bansheera hanging onto a lower part of the stone siding. She was trying to climb back up.
"Get the lid!" Dana ordered. Ryan and Joel hurried over to the side of the tomb and lifted the lid with much difficulty. Carter went over to help them carry it.
"Hurry guys! She's getting closer!" Kelsey exclaimed.
"We're almost there," Ryan told her.
"Ok. On the count of three we'll slam it put it on," Joel said.
"K. One..... two....... three!" Carter yelled. The three dropped the lid on top on the tomb and heard Queen Bansheera scream as she fell all the way back down to the bottom.
"We did it," Joel said. The rangers congratulated each other on completing the challenge.
"Good job guys," came Chad's voice. He walked over to them.
"Thanks. You ok?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah. Fine," Chad replied.
"Ok. Lt's get back to the base now," Carter said.
"Well done rangers. I guess you know what this means, right?" Captain Mitchell asked when the rangers arrived back at the Aqua Base.
"Yeah," they replied quietly. Each ranger took off their morpher and returned it to Captain Mitchell. He took the morphers and walked away.
"Dana, can I talk to you for a minute?" Carter asked.
"Yeah. Sure," Dana replied. The two walked away from the rest.
"Ok. Dana, I know we've only been going out for a few weeks, but I have loved you for much longer. And I know that after today, chances are, we'd never see each other again. Which is why I'm asking you now," Carter started. He got down on one knee and took out a velvet box. "Dana Mitchell, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Dana exclaimed. Carter slid the finger on her ring and stood up.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know. Probably something important. They've been gone for like, ever!" Kelsey replied.
"Actually only about fifteen minutes," Chad pointed out. Kelsey looked at him.
"You were a nerd in school weren't you?" she asked. Before Chad could respond, Carter and Dana had come back.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Joel asked. Kelsey grabbed Dana's hand and pulled her down the hallway.
"What happened. Give me details," Kelsey demanded.
"What makes you think something happened?" Dana asked.
"Because you were gone forever!" Kelsey exclaimed.
"Only a few minutes," Dana corrected her.
"You are almost as bad as Chad. Now tell me!" Kelsey demanded again. Dana showed Kelsey the ring. "Oh my God! You're engaged?"
"Yep," Dana replied.
"Oh my God! There's so much we've gotta do! When's the date? Who's your bridesmaids? Oh there's just so much to do!" Kelsey babbled on and on.
"Kels! Kels! Ok. Listen. We'll have plenty of time to figure all that out. Just chill," Dana told her.
"So, are we ready to go?" Ryan asked the girls.
"Yeah, I guess," Dana replied.
"Ok. Dad will be home tonight. Let's go," Ryan said. The six former rangers left the Aqua Base for the last time to start the next chapter in their lives.
