Chapter 42: The Return of the Power Rangers
A few days passed since Jack was injured and Rebecca refused to take the morpher back. Even Ann tried to do it over her last transmission. However, Rebecca being so stubborn refused to.
Rebecca was sitting by a rather large cliff over the beach. Jack walked over and sat next to her. "Becky, you have to come back, we need you," he insisted. Rebecca shook her head and sighed.
"Jack, you guys are better off without me. I'm just in the way," she stated.
Jack grabbed her shoulders. "No, you're not in the way. We need you to defeat the Dark Wizard," he insisted.
"No, you guys are better off without me," she insisted.
"You're right Pink Ranger," a voice laughed.
They got up and saw the bat monster. "GO REBECCA!" Jack yelled. Before Rebecca could react, the bat monster threw her across the field. "REBECCA!" Jack yelled.
Teresa had just arrived when she saw her friend against the bat monster by himself. Rebecca was in pain. She ran over to her friend and kneeled next to her. "Rebecca, where's your morpher?" She asked.
"I gave it to dad," Rebecca replied.
"Well, how nice, another ranger to defeat," he laughed.
"You're in a big disappointment, bat freak."
Teresa stood up when Brock and the rest of the Rangers came. They didn't know that Billy was watching them as well. She pulled out the Power Coin. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME! SABER-TOOTH TIGER!" She yelled.
Billy watched in disbelief as his daughter morphed into Trini's uniform.
"That won't matter," the monster laughed. Teresa then pulled her mother's daggers.
"POWER DAGGERS!" She yelled.
The Dark Wizard was watching with a sneer. "The old power has returned," he sneered.
Teresa had an idea and decided to go to the lab when she saw that they were losing. The rest of the rangers followed her when the bat monster disappeared...again.
When Teresa removed her helmet, she smiled at her father and the rest of the original team. "Mom came to me in my dreams. She told me that Rebecca needs help.We can't do this alone you guys.We need you guys to help us," she insisted. Billy stood up and walked over to his daughter.
"Teresa, we can't fight. We aren't Power Rangers anymore," he reminded.
"Mom not only gave me her Power Coin, she had put other ones in my belt," she assured.
She pulled out the Mastodon Power Coin, Pterodactyl Power Coin, Triceratops Power Coin, Tyrannosaurs Power Coin, the Green Dragon Power Coin, and she opened her hand to reveal the Pink Zeo Ranger morpher. "Mom had these ready for you just in case. They are ready to be used one last time," she informed. They looked at the computer to see that the monster had returned.
"I'd say let's do it," Jason stated.
Kat walked over and took her morpher. Then one by one they took their old powers back. "Let's do it guys. IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy yelled.
"DRAGONZORD!
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABER-TOOTH TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURS!"
Kat smiled to see her husband the rest morphed and new it was time for her to morph. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME! ZEO RANGER I PINK!" She yelled. She morphed into her old uniform and nodded to the rest of them. Then Rebeca walked over and Tommy placed her morpher into her hand.
"POWER TIME! PINK FOX!" She yelled.
Once she morphed, she felt better knowing that Jack was right all along.
"Let's get going," Teresa urged.
They nodded and had Hayley and Kira take care of the toddlers while they were fighting one last time.
When theyarrived at the battlefield,the bat monster made it's high squealing sound and it knocked the rangers backwards. "LET'S PUT THEM TOGETHER!" Jason yelled.
"Right," the rest agreed.
They called on their weapons.
"POWER AXE!"
"POWER BOW!"
"POWER DAGGERS!"
"POWER LANCE!"
"POWER SWORD!"
"POWER RANGERS!"
They watched as their kids got their weapon put together. "READY, AIM, FIRE!" They yelled. They blasted the monster off it's feet and blew up. They looked up to see the monster grew.
"LET'S SHOW HIM THE POWER OF THUNDER!" Jason yelled.
They got ready to call their old zords.
"MASTODON LION THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"PTERODACTYL FIREBIRD THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"TRICERATOPS UNICORN THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"SABER-TOOTH TIGER GRIFFIN THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"TYRANNOSAURS RED DRAGON THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"PINK FOX!"
"BLACK WYVREN!"
"BLUE LEVIATHAN!"
"YELLOW PEGASUS!"
"RED THUNDERBIRD!"
"GREEN COBRA!"
Their zords came and they combined their megazord. "All right, your turn Tommy," Jason announced.
"You've got it, bro," Tommy stated.
He jumped on the hill and pulled out his dagger. "Welcome back, buddy," he stated. He then played the familiar tune that hadn't been heard in years. The Green Dragonzord appeared. "All right," he cheered. He jumped into his zord and helped his friends and family fight.
"You Power Rangers can't defeat me," the bat monster laughed.
"We'll see about that. Let's do it you guys," Jason stated.
"Right," they agreed.
They tried to fight the monster, but it kept using it's call on them. "We have to stop his shrieking," Jack stated.
"We're losing power," Zelinda informed.
The bat flew over and hit all three zords. "Our zords are almost out of energy," Kimberly stated.
"POWER SWORD!" Jason yelled.
Their power sword appeared, but it wasn't good enough. The bat used it's shrieking again, but this time, it drained all of the energy and it knocked the zords down. Everyone fell out of their zords and onto the ground. They de-morphed and watched as their zords went back into hiding. "Now what?" Rebecca asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that this will be the longest battle ever," Jack replied.
He wrapped his arm around her and watched as the bat disappeared. However, a hologram of the Dark Wizard appeared in it's place. "Power Rangers, you are finished. Surrender now and I'll spare you," he snapped. Tommy helped Kimberly up and walked over.
"What makes you think we'll surrender to you?" Tommy snapped.
"My bat monster is stronger than any of your zords. You can't defeat me," he replied.
"Dark Wizard, just crawl back into the hole you came from," Kimberly snapped.
"As long as you come with me," he laughed.
"Ew," Kimberly groaned.
"Leave Kimberly out of this," Jason snapped.
"She's the reason why I'll destroy you and your planet if you don't surrender. I'll give you twenty-four hours to think it over. Goodbye Power Rangers."
Then he disappeared laughing.
