Episode 8

"The Slaying of the Innocent"

The wand hit the earth with such force it ripped the ground apart sending a great mist of lightning and smoke surrounding Golddar. It entered his body and sent his heart of fire. His body began to enlarge, his back looked like it was splitting into, hit armor began to mold with the movements of his body as it to became mutilated. Suddenly he began to grow extremely tall. He let out a huge roar as the transformation was complete. The wand had sprouted him into a skyscraping size of himself.

The Rangers looked up in awe as Golddar looked down upon them. He let out a huge laugh mocking the Rangers. Suddenly it became clear to them a battle of great proportions was at the door step of the Rangers. "Now do you see the power of the great Bandora Rita? I am a God now!"

"Damn!" Jason said

"Jason, we've got no other alternative. We must-" Kim Rei was cut short by Jason's answer

"Form the Megazord. Then let's waste no more time." Jason put away his sword

"We'll have to combined Zords quickly." Trini added

"Are you okay to fight still?" Zack asked her

"I'll be fine." She answered

"It's up to us now Rangers to save the city." Billy stated

"Yet again." Zack intrigued "Something tells me this is gonna be an everyday event." As he shook his head.

Jason moved to the front of the Rangers and they all raised their hands to the sky. "WE NEED DINOZORD POWER NOW!" They chanted in sequence.

Like clockwork their ZORDS came to their aid from their hiding positions; the Tyrannosaurus from the earth, the Pterodactyl from the volcanoes, the Triceratops from the dessert, the Mastodon from the glaziers of the North and the Saber Tooth from the jungle. The Rangers leaped into their Zord Cockpits and began to ready themselves for action.

"Long on" Jason said sternly

"Mastodon Online," Zack answered

"Triceratops Battle ready," Billy stated

"Saber Tooth Tiger Set!" Trini added

"Pterodactyl fired up." Kim Rei Finished

"Activate Power Crystals." Jason said taking his power coin and transforming it into the Power Crystals used to power his Zord

"Power Crystals activated!" The Ranger fallowed in suit.

"Power up!" Jason called as he slammed his Crystal into the Zord Activator giving him full control of his Zord

"Two- One Power Up!" The Ranger again followed

"Move out!" Jason screamed as the Zords now made a formation around the Tyrannosaurs "Lets so this bastard some Megazord Power!"

"Right!" the Rangers answered as their five Zords began to transform into the Megazord Tank Mode. The Zords combined with lightning and thunder forming the basis of the Megazord, and at Jason's command transformed into the battle mode of the giant beast. The Zord began to lift up and in a flash was the fully battle mode of the Megazord.

The battle of the giants began. The Ranger's in their Megazord, Golddar in his giant form clashed like gods over the city of Angel Grove. Below them people began to scatter from the streets. They feared for their lives as they realized that these two giants could very well destroy them. Golddar slashed across the Megazord and a huge burst of energy sparked from the Megazord's hull.

"Damn! Rangers status," Jason called as he struggled to get the Megazord realigned.

"Hull integrity at 80" Trini answered

"Weapon systems are good" Billy

"Shields at 90" Zack

"Mobility is still functional. Jason we need to strike a critical blow quickly, the longer we wait the more people will become endangered." Kim Rei stated

"Alright Rangers, it's time to bring in the big weapons. We need the Power Sword. I call on the God Horn Power Sword!" Jason called to the sky as the heavens above opened and the Power Sword came crashing down to earth. Oddly enough as it hit the Earth it ripped apart the streets below it and filled over cars and set fire to some parts of the ground. "Shit!" Jason exclaimed "The people!"

"Jason we most strike now!" Trini yelled

The Megazord now clashed blades with Golddar. The two giants fought hard, the rangers were desperate for an upper hand when suddenly they saw it. In a quick flash the Megazord struck Golddar's back spinning him around, then a strike across his chest followed. "Yeah!" the rangers celebrated.

Golddar was now on the defensive as he struggled to keep up a defense, but little did the Rangers realize this was all part of Golddar's plot. As he backed away from the rangers he slowly came to the back end of a Hospital. The Rangers followed in pursuit and charged Golddar with the Power Sword, in the last fleeting moment before Golddar's plan came to affect the Megazord struck driving the Power Sword forward trying to run Golddar through the stomach, but as it approached Golddar disappeared. It was at that point the Rangers saw what they had done.

The building split open easily, like a hot knife through butter, the walls broke apart and anyone unlucky enough to be in the swords way had died. The most horrible part of it all was that the God Horn Power Sword drove right into the children's wing. Most of those who died were very young in age. As the Rangers were baffled at what they had done the children cried and suffered. Jason could see one of the children with a missing arm gushing out blood; it made him sick to his stomach, and all they rangers could do was watch as the horror unfolded.

In the last moments Golddar had teleported out of the Sword's way and the Megazord drove its Sword into the hospital… almost like it was alive, the Megazord collapsed to its knees, police cars began to surround the giant Zord, and ambulances from neighboring hospitals began to arrive. The Rangers had suffered their first defeat, and the consequences showed in the death of children; yet the worse was still to come.
