Disclaimer: It's Saban's gold mine, I just work in it, stealing the occasional gold.
A/N: Here it comes, Trey of Triforia, a.k.a., the Gold Ranger. Plus, I'm happy to report that my next story will start work in mid to late July.
Chapter 3-The Man with the Midas Touch
OUTER SPACE, NEAR SATURN-THE PRESENT
The large zord hurried through space, hundreds of velocifighters gaining on it. The pilot jammed on the turbo, but it had no effect. The fighter fired at the ship, disabling it and crashing it on a nearby planet.
AQUITAR
Delphine was meditating outside Aquitar's main city when a thunderous crash echoed through the atmosphere. She and the other rangers saw a large pyramid like zord in the forests and ran to see what had happened. The front opened up, and out fell a ranger, covered in a gold uniform.
DIVATOX'S PALACE-2525
Divatox turned to the portal, communicating with her henchwoman, whom she had just released from the dungeons.
"Well Astronema?" she asked.
"The velocifighters obliterated the Gold Ranger somewhere over Aquitar, my queen," she responded.
"Good work Astronema, stay there and keep an eye on things," Divatox said as the portal dimmed.
Divatox turned, saying to herself, "Things are going better
than I planned it to be,"
THE POWER CHAMBER-THE PRESENT
Kyle had decided he needed to prep with someone above his level, before his test to see if he would be accepted to the Kiya Ninja Academy in Tokyo, Japan. So, Zelda decided to accept his offer, battling him in the Power Chamber while the other rangers were out for the day, introducing Neil's old friend, James Anderson, to the city of Angel Grove.
As Zelda knocked Kyle down, and was about to punch him, her hand stopped inches away from him.
"Good, you may be accepted, Kyle with these skills, but there is much training that is needed," Zelda, said as he extended a hand to help Kyle up.
"Thank you, Zelda," Kyle said, bowing.
Suddenly, the less high-pitched alarm went off, and Kyle
said, "What is it?"
"We are receiving an emergency communication from Aquitar," Zelda said, activating the viewing screen.
"Zelda of Eltar, we must speak with you on a matter of great urgency," Delphine said.
"We have stumbled on the Gold Zeo Ranger, who is being pursued by Divatox's forces from his native planet. We will be sending him to you shortly. May I present to you, Trey, lord of the planet Triforia," Delphine said, stepping away so Zelda could see.
In the back, was Trey, age nineteen, blonde hair, in much pain from the assault. Soon he would be with the legendary Eltarian, Zelda. He felt himself being teleported away, and he shut his eyes. He landed on a hard metal floor as a boy of about eighteen came over to him as well as Zelda, helping him to his feet.
"I'll get the others," Kyle said, running to another panel.
He called to Samantha, and soon the other four Zeo rangers were at the Power Chamber.
"Whoa, who's he?" Susan asked.
"Rangers, this is Trey of Triforia, he is a ranger as well, possessing the power of the Gold Zeo Ranger," Zelda said.
"Gold Zeo Ranger? He'll be a powerful ally to us," Samantha said prophetically.
"I don't think it'll be that easy," Trey said, standing up slowly.
"For some reason, my powers are being drained, and I can't explain it. For some reason, the drainage is slowly killing me. In order for me to retain my powers, I must pass on the powers of the Gold Zeo Ranger to another, until I am once again ready," Trey said.
"We'll help you all the way, Trey," Greg said, patting Trey.
"Yeah, and I have a person in mind who just fits the description of our new ranger," Neil said, whispering to Samantha and Zelda.
"That's perfect!" they both cried, hurrying to teleport the new ranger candidate to the Power Chamber. The person landed, dusting himself or herself' off and looking around. As he or she looked around, he turned seeing four familiar faces, and two unknown.
"JAMES!" The Earth rangers said.
"Welcome James Anderson, I am Zelda, please sit down there is much we must tell you of.
Zelda and the rangers told James everything. Starting from Divatox's dark future, continuing through Rita and Lord Zedd, up to the present with Trey. James sat there, taking everything into account.
"So…you want me…to take on this dude's powers for a bit?" James said.
"Yes," Samantha replied.
"Cool," James commented as Trey morphed back into the Gold Ranger. He pulled out a Golden staff, wielding it, and pointing it at James.
"Through the power of this staff, passed down through the generations of royalty of Triforia, I, Trey, pass on my powers to James for as long as he will need them," Trey said as a golden blast of power shot out, engulfing James. When the blast settled, Trey was de-morphed, and James was in the Gold Ranger's suit, wielding the Golden Power Staff.
"Whoa, that is one of the coolest uniforms I've EVER seen," Greg commented.
"Now with six Zeo rangers this completes the power, and we have a new zord at our disposal," Zelda said turning to Trey.
Trey activated the viewing screen, focusing on his zord, still down in the forests of Aquitar.
"It is Pyramidas. It will be able to carry all of your zeo zords and be able to defeat the toughest opponents," Trey said.
DIVATOX'S PALACE-2525
"NO!" Divatox said as she called back to Astronema in the present.
"Yes Queen Divatox?" Astronema said.
"The Gold Ranger is still alive! He has transferred his powers to an earthling and now the Zeo team is more powerful than ever. You will be going back to the dungeons for this!" Divatox said, as she reached through time, pulling Astronema forward and throwing her into jail.
"I'm going to need something big to stop this ranger. Get me…Mad Midas!" she said fiendishly.
The crazed monster, whose energy was revived with gold, appeared and was sent back to the past.
THE POWER CHAMBER
The teens had finished congratulating James when the alarms went off. Trey went over to the control panels, checking for what had just happened.
"It appears Divatox does not approve of this new union. She has released Mad Midas upon Angel Grove. Be warned, Midas' energy comes from stealing Gold," Zelda said.
James turned to Zelda and said, "I will,"
The five Zeo rangers morphed and headed off, now it was James' turn.
"Gold Ranger power!" he said as the top of the staff opened and transformed James into the Gold Ranger.
DOWNTOWN ANGEL GROVE
The Zeos landed near Town Square where Mad Midas was waiting. They attacked, calling down their respective Zeo weapons. As James fired blasts from the Golden Power Staff, it only increased Midas' power. The rangers combined their weapons, including James', firing a blast, and destroying Mad Midas.
DIVATOX'S PALACE-2525
"OOH! FIRE THE TORPEDOES!" she screamed.
Two large torpedoes sped through the portal, hitting the ground where Mad Midas once stood. The explosion brought him back, to city squashing size.
"OK, time to call our zeo zords," Kyle said.
"Zeo Zord I, power up," Samantha said as a missile launcher for the Zeo rangers appeared.
"Zeo Zord II, power up," Susan said, as her zord, a rocket launcher appeared.
"Mystical sphinx zord, arise!" Neil proclaimed as his zord, Zeo III came.
"Mighty bull, Taurus, appear!" Greg said as the large Zeo Zord IV, Taurus, appeared.
"Powerful phoenix, descend!" Kyle yelled as Zeo Zord V landed from the sky.
The zords combined, forming a Megazord, and preparing to take on Midas. Their energy wasn't golden, so they got many hits in, and severely damaged the foe.
"My turn! I CALL ON THE POWER OF PYRAMIDAS!" James yelled as the large pyramid zord approached.
James jumped, entering the cockpit of Pyramidas.
"Guys, let's take him down, combine the zords into Pyramidas!" James said.
"Right, OK, let's do it!" Kyle said.
"We need Ultrazord power now!" the six Zeo rangers said.
Pyramidas transformed into a rolling carrier, and the five zords landed on it. The others joined James in the cockpit and prepared to fire. A bright rainbow appeared as the Zeo rangers delivered their finishing move to Midas.
THE POWER CHAMBER
The rangers returned to the Power Chamber and de-morphed. They saw Trey, slowly recovering from his wounds; he would be back in action very soon. James frowned, but was brought up when Kyle said, if he goes to Japan, he can be the red ranger. The teens rejoiced, it would be the last time they would be content for a long time.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it, and yes, Kyle is leaving in the next two chapters, but he will return, I swear.
