Jen stood in her cell and paced back and forth for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past hour. The days seemed to drag on after Kyle and Andy rescued the others. She looked over at the other occupants of her cell.
Wes had his eyes closed, but Jen knew he wasn't sleeping. Eric and Taylor were both sitting up against a wall, their fingers lightly touching, not making a move. And then there was Tori and Blake.
Both ninjas were sitting in a lotus position with their eyes closed, and appeared to be meditating. They had been like that for nearly a day, only pausing when Master Org or one of his miscreants would stop by to torment them.
The others across the way were, strangely enough, doing the same thing. She thought to ask them about it, but then caught herself. She always hated when people would interrupt her workouts...
A soft hand on her shoulder brought her back to reality. Wes stood behind her and kissed her cheek. "Taylor told me that if they meditate like that, they can recharge themselves," he whispered.
"Recharge? Like a car battery?" she joked.
"No, like an inner ninja thing," Blake said as he opened his eyes smiling. Jen hung her head.
"Sorry if I offended you guys."
"You didn't," came Shane's quick reply. Everyone had gotten to their feet by now as they heard footsteps approaching.
"Ah rangers! Good to see you all up," Master Org hissed. He approached the cells and was about to say something, when a putrid came in quickly and whispered something to him. The Org reared up. "It appears that your foolish children are calling me out."
All the prisoners instantly felt ill. "Leave them alone!" Alyssa yelled.
"Oh, I'll leave them alone...but the rest of my army won't." With that he was gone, leaving the former rangers completely helpless to do anything.
Outside, Evie, Lindy, Leo, Ethan, Sam, and Jake were in their battle positions. On their left, Owen, Jake, Charlie, Sky, Cody, and Kanoi had their swords drawn. To their left, Xander, Brady, and Nicky were ready as well. Kyle and Andy stood atop the warehouse where they knew their parents were being held with the device from Kanoi and Laura.
Everything had gone so well yesterday. The girls and Kanoi were successful in lacing the various weapons with the new chemical compound. A button had been installed in the weapons to trigger the new assault.
Everyone held their breath as they saw the remaining three Orgs appear, as well as a swarm of Putrids. Out of the middle, Master Org strode out, puffing up his chest as best he could.
After a quick signal from Ethan, Andy and Kyle Ninja streaked into the warehouse without being seen. Ethan saw them go and nodded to the others... it was time.
"You're through Master Org!" Evie yelled.
"WILD ACCESS!" they all cried at once.
"Ready?" Sky asked her team.
"Ready," they responded.
"Ninja Storm,"
"Thunderstorm,"
"Samurai Storm,"
"RANGER FORM, HA!"
Xander looked over to Brady and Nicky, who nodded their heads in approval.
"TIME FOR, TIME FORCE!"
"QUANTUM POWER!"
The fifteen Rangers stood at the ready as the creatures attacked. After some thought, each team took on one Org and a portion of the Putrids.
Master Org watched in horror as the battle began to go bad for him. Evie and Lindy worked perfectly together as they took care of the Putrids. Sam and Jack did much of the same as they were helping Ethan and Leo with the Org.
Meanwhile, the Ninja Storm Rangers were having a little too much fun as they used their various Ninja tricks to confuse and annoy their opponents. Charlie dove into the ground and popped up behind a swarm of the putrids. At the same time, Sky blasted them with a wind gust.
Things were flying everywhere, but the ninjas kept their cool and performed a shadow battle that completely destroyed the remaining forces.
While the battle was raging outside, Andy and Kyle had their hands full. Apparently Master Org had learned his lesson last time, and had the prisoners well guarded. The device they carried was not overly large, so they tried their best to protect it.
"Andy! Go!" Kyle yelled as he backed away with his little sister and the device behind him. Andy saw her opening and ran with the device while Kyle did something that both shocked and scared him a little. It just happened naturally, he guessed.
As he watched his sister leave, he felt a surge of energy run through him. He carefully positioned his hands and fired a bolt of navy energy at the remaining Putrids. They all stumbled back and fell to the ground with a small explosion.
"Dude," he said to himself. "That was freaky."
"Kyle!" Andy cried from down the hallway. Kyle streaked over to where she was and found her in front of a door of vines that hadn't been there before.
"What the hell?" he asked to no one in particular. Andy knelt down to the device and set it up the way Kanoi had told her to. Kyle knelt down as well and together they powered it up.
"No better time than the present to see if this thing works," she said as she pushed the red button. A bright green light came from it and immediately, the vines disintegrated. "Let's go."
Tori's head perked up as she heard footsteps coming their way. "Here we go again," she muttered.
"Hey mum," Kyle said. Everyone instantly had smiles on their faces.
"Are we ever glad to see you guys," Dustin said.
"Is everyone else alright?" Marah asked as she heard another explosion from outside.
"They're fine, but we have to get you all out of here and fast," Andy said as she set up the device.
Back outside, two of the Orgs had been destroyed using the Thunderstorm cannon and the Wild Force Blaster. The Time Force Rangers prepared for their Time Strike and obliterated the third and final Org standing between them and their ultimate objective...
"It's all over Master Org!" Leo said as he and the others attempted to corner him. Master Org just grinned evilly to himself. He had another thought up his sleeve...
"It's not over for me Rangers! Just wait and see what's left of you're precious Animarium when I'm through with it!" He lifted his hands to the sky and disappeared.
"He took the bait," Nicky said.
"Let's head him off!" Xander said. With the help of the Ninja Storm Gliders, everyone returned to the Animarium just as Master Org was beginning his destruction.
"You will never defeat me!" he cried as he fired at the beautiful Animarium. The Rangers charged at him with everything they had and managed to drive him close enough to the lake.
Sky took a blow to the head and Jake was immediately at her side protecting her.
Master Org saw this. "I'm through playing games!" he cried as he fired on all the Rangers.
"Guys we have to do this now!" Sam cried as she drew her dagger; the Lunar Wolf Crystal shining brightly. Her teammates pulled out theirs as well and the other rangers prepared their respective weapons. Owen and Ethan were the only ones without theirs.
"You ready bro?" Ethan asked Owen.
"You know it," he replied.
"On my mark," Lindy said. Master Org suddenly became a little nervous. "FIRE!"
All the Rangers followed her command and pressed the button as they were instructed to. Master Org reeled back on his heals and sank to his knees.
"Owen do it!" Jake yelled as he felt all his energy suddenly draining. The Rangers were using everything they had.
Owen and Ethan called the water to them and fired a steady wave from the lake into the creature. The combination of the water and lasers was having the desired effect, but it wasn't enough...
When they couldn't take anymore, they all fell to the ground and demorphed. Master Org slowly stumbled to his feet. The attack had affected him drastically, but he was still up.
"We need... more power..." Charlie got out.
"Perhaps we can be of some assistance."
They all turned to see Taylor, Cole, Alyssa, Merrick and Shayla standing in front of the Wild Zords with Wes, Jen, and Eric by their sides.
Owen felt a set of arms help him to stand and smiled at his parents. Ethan grinned as Kyle and Andy helped him up.
"I think we'll take it from here," Hunter said as he stood by his kids.
The former Ninja Rangers stood as they had so many years ago...
"Power of Air!"
"Power of Earth!"
"Power of Water!"
"Power of Thunder!"
"Power of the Samurai!"
Marah stood next to Dustin and added her own powers to the mix.
Six stream of energy flew to the Org, while the Former Wild Force Rangers took their shots.
Taylor, Cole, Alyssa, and Merrick stood in front of their former zords and grinned as they watched the zords blast the Org as well.
Master Org writhed in pain as he felt every piece of his being explode into thousands of tiny bright lights. After about a minute of the assault, he finally succumbed and was no more...
The rangers, new and old, stood stunned for a moment before the full magnitude of what they had just done sunk in. Lindy most of all was utterly speechless... the plan had worked...
Evie struggled to get up and was relieved when Xander scooped her up and held her tightly. Without even thinking, they both leaned in and kissed in plain sight of everyone.
"Evelina Jennifer Meyers."
Those three little words brought them out of the trance immediately... they knew that voice all too well and turned to see the Co-Commander of the Silver Guardians with steam literally coming out of his ears.
"Uh, hi Papa," Evie got out.
Before Eric could say anything, Shayla stepped in. "I think perhaps there are a few things we need to catch up on," she said gently.
One by one, everybody gathered around the fire pit with their families together at last…
