Chapter 8: The Other Traveler
As soon as TJ returned to the Power Chamber the warning system went off. "What is it Justin?" TJ ask finding the blue turbo ranger standing at the console. Justin looks at the computer readings. His face is puzzled by the readings. "I'm not quite sure, but it's stronger than anything we've faced to date." Justin answers.
"Send a message to the Space rangers to stand by." TJ said. The thought of a new player in the game frighten him. "Shift into Turbo!" he yells. Both TJ and Justin morph into their ranger's suits. The Red and Blue Turbo rangers run up on the cloaked figure in the downtown district of Angel Grove. The black cloak hid the figure from the rangers except for his green eyes. "Ah TJ. I was wondering when we would finally come face to face." The figure said.
"You two know each other?" Justin asked confused.
At first TJ could not think of who this being was. If finally dawn on him who this person was and what his mission was. "Sadly I do know this character." TJ answers.
"You words hurt me. After all we both are doing the same thing." The figure said.
"Ok I'm really confused now. How do you know each other and what is it that both of you are doing?" Justin asked.
"What he doesn't know TJ? The figure asks trying to gain some understanding.
"Our relationship is the same as any other ranger monster relationship. He is trying to take over the world and I as a ranger am trying to stop him. So what do you say we take this guy out." TJ answered. About this time the three Robot Turbo Rangers joined the other two rangers.
"I don't think that is a wise plan. No what you want to do instead is not interfere with my plans." The figure demands.
"We don't take threats calmly." The Green Robot Ranger said. The three robot rangers charged at the figure. "Wait we need to devise a plan." Justin yelled. It was too late the robot rangers were already on their way. The figure extends his hand from underneath the cloak. A green ball of energy is released from the hand aimed at the robot rangers. Before the robots could change course the ball exploded upon contact.
"Noooo!" Justin yells watching the robots fall into flaming pieces. TJ balls his fist ready to strike. "I wouldn't if I was you. They were robots imagine what will happen to actual humans." The figure said smugly. Five blue laser beams struck the figure. The space rangers arrived on the scene. "Looks like you could use some help." Andros said.
The two Turbo rangers pulled out their turbo swords. The five Space rangers pulled out their space weapons. "Attack!" Justin ordered. The seven rangers charged at the figure. The figure extended his other hand firing energy balls at the seven rangers. One by one an energy ball blasted a ranger. All except for the two red rangers were left standing. Both manage to reach the figure. Andros in front of the figure swings his spiral saber at the figure. The figure leans back avoiding the attack. The sword of the Red Turbo ranger is able to land a hit on the backside of the figure. "Watch your back." TJ said diving between the legs of the figure.
Andros swings his saber again striking the figure in the chest. Sparks rained down on the figures feet. The Blue Turbo ranger summoned the Turbo R.A.M and the four space rangers summoned their Quadro Blaster. "Fire!" Justin yelled. Both weapons fired upon the command of the Blue Turbo Ranger. The two Red Rangers back flipped out of the way of the combine attacks of the rangers. The attack struck the figure red flames erupted from ground around the figure.
"Man I wish I had some marshmallows right now." Carlos said walking up to the two flames. Cassie taps the green ranger on his shoulder. "So who do we thank for sending this monster. Divatox or Astronema?" she asked.
"Neither." TJ said walking away from the group. "With him out of the way I can alter time on my own." TJ thought. Shooting up into the sky out of the fire rubble, the figure hovers over the rangers. "Thanks for warming me up. Now to swash you like the bugs you are." The figure said. His right hand grew to a giant size. TJ turned around to see his friends get smashed into the ground by the giant hand.
The figure lifts his hand looking at the rangers indented into ground, a large handprint surrounded the rangers. Groans and moans filled the air. "Consider this your final warning. If you dare continue on your path TJ then I will have no choice but destroy you and the rangers. The very thing that you came back here to stop from happening." The figure said floating up into the air. TJ kept his eyes on him until his was unable to see him.
Aboard the Mega ship the rangers sat around a conference table. Since the battle no one had spoken a word. But the feeling was mutual among the rangers. Whatever it was that TJ knew in the past few months was some how connected to all the events that had taken place and the figure. Breaking the silence Cassie spoke up. "TJ whatever it is that you know you have to share it with us. We've respected your decision to keep it to yourself, but we can no longer allow you to be cryptic with what you know.
"Your right. I should have told you guys a long time ago. I figured if I could just do guide us with the information I knew that everything would different than before." TJ said.
"Before what?" Justin asked.
"Not important." He answered. The girls flashed him a look. "What is important is that we only have a few days before something big is about to happen. We have to find Zordon and in order to do that we have to get Andros's sister to tell us the location." TJ said.
"How does she know? I don't know where she is. Wait you know who she is and where she is at?" the frantic space ranger said. TJ nodded his head calmly to the boy's questions. "I do know who she is. Like before all of you have trusted me with my cryptic messages. This information is just as valid as the rest. Andros your sister is Astronema." TJ said leaning back in his chair.
