A/N: My favorite character, built in my own likeness makes his Zeo exit, but it will take two chapters to fill. Please review.
Chapter Four-Changing Rangers
KYLE MARTIS' HOUSE
Kyle picked up the mail, thumbing through the letters. Bills, bills, Entertainment Weekly, and finally, a letter. But this wasn't any letter, it had three stamps on it, and the return address was labeled Kiya Ninja Academy, Tokyo, Japan. Kyle speedily opened the letter reading through it as fast as he could. He had been accepted. Next week he would be training at the academy in Tokyo.
ANGEL GROVE YOUTH CENTER
The teens, minus Kyle sat a table, watching a karate tournament on TV. Kyle ran in, and told them the good news. They all congratulated, all except for Samantha. Samantha inside was deeply upset, she didn't know how long Kyle would be training, and she might never see him again.
Kyle's communicator beeped, and the six teens walked out into the hall.
"Zelda," he said.
"Rangers, teleport to the Power Chamber," Zelda said.
The six tapped their communicators and sped away.
THE POWER CHAMBER
The teens landed, and Samantha began by saying, "Zelda what is it?"
"Rangers I share with Kyle in his good news, but now we must do something quickly. Kyle cannot go from Japan to here and continue fighting evil, and so today he will relinquish up his ranger powers and give them to another," Zelda replied.
"But who?" Neil asked.
"It will be James. Trey has regained his energy, and will continue fighting, but first you must give him the Golden powers back," Zelda said.
Trey appeared and said to James, "Thank you James for keeping the powers alive and in our hands,"
DIVATOX'S PALACE-2525
Divatox smirked as she saw what was happening with the rangers.
"Two power transfers, two chances to grab those morphers. I just need to get someone to grab that pesky red ranger's Zeonizer and we'll be fine. Oh Dovatix," she called out.
"Yes sister?" she asked.
"I need you to break through those pitiful Eltarian security forces on the Power Chamber, we have a mission to accomplish," she replied, pushing her red cape and walking away.
THE POWER CHAMBER
Zelda pressed a large button, and a strange device appeared out of the floor. She turned to the rangers, saying, "This is my invention, the power transfer machine. I built an additional attachment so we can transfer Kyle's power to James, and James' to Trey,"
The three went up to the machine, Zelda strapping them in. She pressed a red button and the machine began glowing, emanating energy. As the power transfer was about to begin, a blast of dark energy hit the machine, stunning the three rangers. At the other edge of the Power Chamber stood Divatox and her sister Dovatix.
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!" the alarms screamed.
Divatox zapped them silent, saying, "We know we're here,"
Dovatix walked over, picking up the red morpher, and the gold power staff.
"We'll just be taking these and wreaking havoc with them," Divatox said as she and her sister disappeared.
Suddenly, red blobs appeared over Kyle, gold over Trey and both red and gold blobs over James' body. All three of the boys began shaking a bit violently.
"What's happening to them?" Samantha said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"The morphers are still theirs they are a part of them, and their energy is being drained. If the morphers are not recovering soon, they will die," Zelda said.
"That lousy witch, inside Kyle's suit!" Samantha spat.
"Be careful rangers," Zelda said as they morphed and teleported to the rock quarry.
ANGEL GROVE ROCK QUARRY
The four landed on a cliff, preparing to sneak attack Divatox (now in the Gold uniform) and Dovatix (in the Red). However, Divatox sensed them, and made them fall to the ground with a blast from the Golden Power Staff. The four regrouped, calling their weapons, but they were no match for the duo of villains.
"Ha, you insignificant threats, prepare to be eliminated," Divatox said as she raised the Golden Power Staff.
C'mon girl, think damn it! There has to be a weakness in these two! Samantha thought. Beauty! THAT'S IT!
"Divatox, have we ever told you how beautiful you are?" Samantha said, hoping the plan would work.
Catching on, Greg continued by saying, "And Dovatix, have we told you how clever you are to come with these creatures?"
At once the two women de-morphed, definitely taking the compliments.
"You really think so?" Divatox and Dovatix said.
Samantha smirked, slowly removing her Zeo blaster, as did the other rangers.
"Nope not really," Samantha said.
She jumped, taking mere seconds to kick down the two, and regain the morphers. To prevent retaliation, the others fired their blasters until the two disappeared.
DIVATOX'S PALACE-2525
Divatox screamed saying, "OH! The fake, we-love-your-beauty move. I fell for it AGAIN!"
Dovatix said, "Calm down my queen, I know now how to break into that base,"
Divatox fiendishly smiled saying, "Prepare creation of an army of piranhatrons,"
THE POWER CHAMBER
Back at the Power Chamber, the transfer process had begun once again. This time it was successful, Trey regaining his Golden powers, and James receiving Kyle's. The rangers congratulated the new red ranger, and prepared for a long difficult phase without Kyle, which would begin very soon.
