Chapter 9 In Friendship and Love, We Trust
Nakia and Ryan meet up at the mall to do some shopping, they make plans for later on to get together again for dinner and a movie. When Nakia gets home she calls Zelda and starts saying what a wonderful guy Ryan is. This makes Zelda think and also feel a little jealous, she tries to contain the tiny bit of jealousy she is feeling when she responds to Nakia's comments.
Zelda-That's really nice Nakia, I know how much he means to you. You are very lucky to have found a guy who really cares about you.
Nakia-I know, it is really wonderful. I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Zelda-Well, good.
Zelda lets out a fake chuckle but Nakia doesn't really pay attention to it she just goes on with talking about meeting Ryan for dinner and them going out to see a movie. In her mind Zelda wishes she had a loving boyfriend as well.
That next day, school begins and everyone rushes towards their classrooms. Zelda is wearing a plain ol pair of blue jeans, white tennis shoes, and a pink and white stripped blouse. She spots Ryan and Nakia holding hands and walking towards her locker. Nakia is wearing black pants and a yellow t shirt, and Ryan is wearing a red t shirt and white shorts. Zelda instantly closes her locker after rushing to get her needed books and walks away before they have a chance to get close to her to say anything.
Throughout the day Nakia and Ryan notice Zelda not acting like herself, it seems like she's avoiding them which she is. As they walk into the cafeteria to get their lunches, they see Zelda putting up her lunch tray and leaving, Nakia tries to say something but Zelda gets out of their way really fast. Nakia looks at Ryan and says.
Nakia-Zelda always eats with us, she never eats during the early lunch period.
Ryan-Hmm, I wonder what's up with her.
Instead of going outside, Zelda goes back into her biology class to do some studying, the entire classroom is empty except for the chirping caged birds and hissing caged snakes located in the back of the room.
Zelda's mind becomes really clouded and upset, her heart starts crying because she feels empty inside, she wants a boyfriend, she wants to have good times with a guy she can trust and love, but she feels that will never happen, thoughts of negativity start to fill her mind in the way of questions that she really can't answer herself.
Zelda-Why can't I find a boyfriend that would actually love me for me.
Soon those personal thoughts of negativity begin to increase when she thinks of how happy Nakia and Ryan are.
Zelda-I just wish for once they wouldn't flaunt their relationship in front of me, its like a double slap to my face!
After a few minutes pass Zelda begins to feel bad for what she had just said.
Zelda-Oh what is wrong with me, I am happy for them, they are my friends and I care about them a lot, I shouldn't feel so jealous because they are in a happy relationship.
In Stone Henge, Michael and Joshua speak with Myndor as he stops conversing with the Wizard's pool.
Michael-Where is everyone else?
Myndor-Oh they are at the place of where they usually dwell at this time of day.
Joshua-And that is where?
Myndor-A high school.
Joshua-A high school? A school that's high?
Myndor-No no, not in that sense, you'd never understand and I'd never be able to explain it, so just leave it at that. Besides you both can leave once they get back. I am not familiar with this time period, so its best you not leave stone henge at all till the others return.
Joshua-Okay.
Michael-Agreed.
Sinistar looks into her cauldron, and an image of a very unhappy Zelda appears. She immediately smiles and thinks of how she can use this to her advantage. She looks into the eye and gets a flashing image of a demonic monster but the monster's image turns into a human male. She uses her powers to extract the hideous creature out of the eye. Dymonicus, prince of the underworld and warrior of the dark ages. This hideous creature is very tall, has long black horns, gross yellow teeth and a horrible smell.
Sinistar uses her powers to transform Dymonicus into the image she had just seen within the eye. He becomes a handsome guy, 6'1, black hair, blue eyes, physically fit and smelling clean with regular everyday clothes, a pair of black shorts and a white tank top Sinistar says to him.
Sinistar-Dymonicus, I want you to resurface within the city of Terra Falls, the Pink Ranger needs some cheering up, and that will be your job!
Dymonicus says in a husky voice.
Dymonicus-Yes of course, I know what to do.
Sinistar-Good. Don't fail me!
Dymonicus bows and vanishes instantly. Sinistar looks back into her cauldron and still see's Zelda sulking, she then says to herself.
Sinistar-Oh don't worry, your prince charming is coming.. Unfortunately for you.
She lets out a Sinister laugh.
Sinistar-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Dymonicus reappears in the city, he soon comes up with an earth name he heard as he walked by two people, he will call himself and be known in this world as Dylan.
A few hours pass and the time for school comes to an end for the day, once again Zelda avoids both Nakia and Ryan despite trying not to feel so jealous, she walks home by herself and runs into an unexpected person where she apologizes for not looking where she was going. But the monster in disguise says.
Dylan-No need to apologize sweet lady.
Zelda looks at him shockingly as if her heart has stopped, she then says in a choked up tone because she never heard a guy talk to nicely to her. She also becomes a bit stunned at how handsome this guy is.
Zelda-Um, sweet lady? Is that what you called me?
Dylan nods.
Dylan-I only call it as I see it.
Zelda starts blushing.
Zelda-Why thank you.
Dylan-Not a problem. You know I am new here, so I was wondering if you'd like to show me around sometime?
Zelda says with a girlish giggle.
Zelda-Sure, I'd love too.
Dylan-How nice of you.
Zelda blushes.
After talking for a few more minutes, Zelda dashes off home, when she gets there she rushes up to her room to call Nakia, forgetting she totally acted strangely towards them she couldn't understand why Nakia was acting upset with her but soon it was explained and she apologized after explaining how she felt.
Nakia-What?! You felt bad because I have a boyfriend?!
Zelda-No, its not that, its just well it seems like you have been rubbing your relationship with Ryan in my face.
Nakia-That's not true, not true at all.
Zelda-I know I said it only seemed like it.
Nakia-Well I'm really sorry Zelda. I was just so happy.
Zelda-I know.
Nakia-Hey so finish telling me about this guy you ran into.
Zelda-Oh he's so hot, and nice, he wants to take me out later on this week.
Nakia-Really?
Zelda-Yeah, he really seems like a caring person.
Nakia-That's good, maybe he's your prince charming.
Zelda giggles.
Zelda-You never know.
Sinistar explains to Dymonicus/Dylan that he must win the Rangers trust through Zelda, he is then when the time is right, trick them into going into an area where she will cast a spell that will disable their ability to morph. Dymonicus assures Sinistar that he will not fail and will make her proud and hopefully make him a general on her team.
A day passes, Zelda and Dylan go out to a wonderful restaurant in downtown Terra Falls. Zelda has asked Ryan and Nakia to join them which they do but they show up late due to over making out. Zelda is wearing a beautiful pink and white glittery dress with white high heels, Nakia is wearing a long yellow dress with a slit in the back and yellow high heels. Ryan and Dylan are wearing similar black tuxedo's with black dress shoes.
They look at the menu and see's wonderful meals at reasonable prices. Nakia starts to read off a few meal items.
Nakia-1. Three Turkey Slices, Dressing, Cranberry Sauce and two buttered rolls-$8.95
2. Steak, Roasted Potatoes, and two rolls served with a green salad-$13.95
3. Pork Chop (1) served with mashed potatoes, baked beans and three rolls-$10.95
4. Fried Chicken (3) served with potatoes, baked beans and two rolls-$9.95
5. Baked Chicken (3) served with a baked potato, baked beans and two rolls-$8.95
6. Barbequed Chicken (3) served with fries, baked beans, a salad and rolls-$10.95
7. Leg of Lamb served with potatoes and gravy, three rolls and salad-$15.95
8. Spaghetti served with garlic bread (3)-$8.95
9. Lasagna served with garlic bread (3)-$9.95
Zelda responds to what Nakia just read.
Zelda-Mmm it all sounds so good.
Dylan looks at Zelda and says.
Dylan-Pick anything you want.
Zelda smiles.
Ryan reads some menu items and one catches his eye immediately.
Ryan-Mmmm I think I'll try the Prime Rib dinner.
Nakia-That sounds delicious.
They all order. Zelda orders the Steak Dinner, Nakia looks at the Leg of Lamb dinner and wonders out loud if she should order it, Ryan falls out of his chair after hearing her and reading the price, she helps him back up into his seat and orders what she wants which is the leg of lamb. Ryan orders himself the Barbequed Chicken Dinner after getting himself together again and finally Dylan orders a large amount of toasted rolls smothered in butter. They all find this weird but look past it.
Sinistar watches this entire scene through her cauldron.
Sinistar-Ugh! Happiness is so disgustingly pathetic!
The night moves on and they leave the restaurant, and soon off to a movie. The night finally moves on into the morning hours and they soon part. Dylan takes Zelda home and Ryan takes Nakia home. Days pass and everyone accepts Dylan, even Michael and Joshua. The only person not so sure about things is Myndor, he feels something evil is near, and only feels it when the Rangers are close to Dylan. He warns them but they all assure him that its only his imagination.
Feeling her plan is working quite well and is almost ready to be completed, Sinistar tells Dylan that very soon he must finish the last stage so that he can destroy the Rangers once and for all.
He creates a building, a beautiful building located just outside of the downtown area, he then contacts Zelda and asks her to meet him along with her friends, she starts wondering why does he want her friends to come along but she looks past it since she figures she can't find an answer. So she gathers all of her friends and they all go into the place Dylan asked them too.
When they walk in they see a very large marble floor, a large table filled with food and the walls decorated with beautiful designs, balloons and paintings. They turned out to be totally amazed at this, they also see on the other side of the wall is written on, it says.
"WELCOME MY FRIENDS!" "YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED HERE TO ENGAGE IN A PARTY THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST MOST AWESOMELY PARTY YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO!"
Ryan-Wow, he must of rented this building just to throw us a really cool party.
Zelda-That is so sweet.
Nakia-Yeah I'll say. He's really neat.
Michael-A party just for us? It's amazing what some people do for their friends.
Joshua-I agree with you on that.
Zelda-I'm so happy, he's so nice to everyone, he's just a really nice guy.
Nakia walks over to Zelda and puts her hand on her shoulder.
Nakia-Looks like you've found a winner.
Zelda smiles.
Zelda-I think so. And he wants to be friends with all my friends too. Its so nice.
Nakia-Yeah, I like him, he's cool.
Dylan walks into the building, everyone turns around and see's him. Zelda rushes over to him but he pushes her away.
Zelda-Huh?
Dylan giggles.
Dylan-You humans are so gullible that I almost feel sorry for you.
Nakia-What do you mean by that?
Dylan-Do you really think all this is just for friendship? Don't you think there's something else here? Something hidden?
Nakia-Why don't you just tell us what you mean.
Ryan-Yeah.
Dylan-Oh you'll find out, soon enough.
The front doors close and seal very tightly, Sinistar quickly starts her spell. Dylan reveals his true self, Dymonicus.
Zelda-Oh no! He's..
Nakia-A monster?!
Dymonicus-Indeed! But most importantly I am your destructor!
Nakia-NEVER!
Ryan-Come on guys lets morph and take care of this imposter!
They all gather together and reveal their star morphers but Sinistar' spell has been completed, when they try to morph nothing happens.
Nakia-Hey! What's going on here now?!
Zelda-We can't morph!
Ryan-This is not good! Not good at all!
Dymonicus laughs and fires a heavy fiery blast towards Ryan and the others, they soon find themselves in a dangerous fiery explosion which sends them flying all the way to the other side of the building. Dymonicus laughs.
Dymonicus-You fools are doomed!
They groan out in pain as they lay on their backs.
Ryan-Ugh! Strong power, man!
Nakia-How are we going to beat him? We can't morph! Ugh!
Zelda-There has to be a way!
Michael-I say we use what we have now, we're still a team! Ugh!
Joshua-He'll fry us!
Dymonicus laughs again. He attacks them once again, he sends out more powerful energy blasts that begins to tear into them, they stand up though determined to fight as much as they can. Realizing that they can't possibly be as powerful as Dymonicus without their Ranger powers, they decide the only way to match him is to out smart him.
They all talk it over very quickly, and bow as soon as Dymonicus reaches them. His attempt to zap them halts as he notices them bowing.
Dymonicus-What is this now? Begging for your pathetic lives?
Ryan speaks with his head bowing.
Ryan-No, we know we will never defeat you, that is why we want to join forces with you and help you rule supreme.
Dymonicus-What?
Nakia speaks next.
Nakia-Yes, it is true, we don't have the power as you do, and we know you'd make a wonderful leader.
Dymonicus starts falling for all the fake worshipping and thinks about what awesome power he'd have on his side if he had the Power Rangers working for him.
Zelda speaks sympathetically.
Zelda-You have showed us the way, we cannot fight such a great warrior such as yourself, let us join forces and follow your evil ways.
Dymonicus-You Rangers are smarter than I thought.
He thinks about Sinistar and how powerful she is.
Dymonicus-Sinistar would destroy me if she knew I..
He is interrupted by Joshua's statement.
Joshua-How could Sinistar compare to you? If you accept our offer and let us join you.
Dymonicus-Hmm, you may have a point.
Ryan-We can't morph in here to show you that we are serious about submitting to you oh great one.
Dymonicus-There's a spell over this building, if I destroy the building you'll be able to morph and then we'll attack and destroy Sinistar and her pathetic followers!
Now Michael says.
Michael-Yes, and then you'll rule all!
Dymonicus-Exactly! Worshipping me has definitely earned you Rangers more time to breathe.
Dymonicus turns around and starts chuckling. Everyone looks at each other in confidence that their plan worked. They had earned his trust, they couldn't believe how easy it was, was it because he was conceited or just dumb? Hehe, they figure both.
Dymonicus raises his disgusting dark charred arms, and as soon as he does the building disappears. Everyone finds themselves out in an abandoned rock area, nothing around for miles, it had all been an illusion, the outside area was all an illusion.
Dymonicus turns around and tells his so called new army.
Dymonicus-Now, you are able to morph, so do it now! I want to claim this world as my own!
Ryan says sarcastically.
Ryan-As you wish.
They all stand up together, Ryan says to them all.
Ryan-READY?!
They respond.
Rangers-READY!
They swing their morphers around once as they all say together.
Rangers-STAR FORCE, POWER UP!
Each Ranger touches the star on their morphers as they say one by one..
Zelda-PINK!
Ryan-RED!
Joshua-BLUE!
Nakia-YELLOW!
Michael-BLACK!
After their colors are said a huge white blinding light appears, and bursts into white glittering stars, soon Zelda is revealed as the Pink Ranger, Ryan the Red Ranger, Joshua the Blue Ranger, Nakia the Yellow Ranger and Michael the Black Ranger.
Dymonicus says something else, and as he turns around slowly he is attacked by the Yellow and Pink Rangers, their powerful blast from their weapons sends him flying into the ground, and when he lands and attempts to stand up again, the Red, Blue and Black Rangers all leap up into the air, they extract their weapons and attack one by one. The Red Ranger gives a fiery slash, the Blue Ranger swoops up and stings the monster with his Trident and the Black Ranger gives out a thunderous strike with his cannon. All three Rangers land on their feet as Dymonicus groans out in pain and falls onto his back in a fiery explosion.
Sinistar watches through her cauldron, she gets angry and says to herself.
Sinistar-How dare that pathetic fool even think to usurp me, ha! He got what he deserved but I have to say he's not done yet Rangers!
She looks at the eye of Cawdor, grabs it and points it into her cauldron as she says.
Sinistar-MAKE DYMONICUS GROW AND MAKE HIM STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!
The Rangers see a bright green beam appear from under Dymonicus' fallen body, the beam bursts into a shield of light as it makes Dymonicus grow very large. Dymonicus' body isn't the only thing that has changed, his powers has been recharged horrendously. Dymonicus laughs evilly and very heavily as he stares down at the tiny Rangers, he opens his mouth and sends out many fireballs holding tremendous firepower within them, the fireballs strike the Rangers badly and cause a huge fiery explosion. They all land on their backs in pain but still in tact.
Dymonicus-YOU'LL PAY FOR TRICKING ME!
The Pink Ranger stands up and says.
Pink Ranger-We're not paying for anything, you started all of this and we're going to finish it!
The other Rangers stand up and stand together. The Black Ranger says.
Black Ranger-Come on, time to power up the zords!
Power Rangers-Right!
The Rangers stand side by side, they put their hands on the symbols of their Star Zord Creatures which is located on the left side of their chests. They then yell out together.
Power Rangers-STAR ZORDS, COME FORTH!
Their symbols start glowing immediately, and soon within the universal stars, powerful creatures emerge and teleport to earth, the Red Firebird, the Yellow Hydra, the Pink Hawk, the Blue Dolphin and the Black Centaur all appear and immediately form into the Star Force Megazord.
The Rangers leap into the Might Star Force Megazord and take their places, immediately Dymonicus begins his attack. He sends out many fireballs and electrical dark energy towards the Megazord, the power strikes the Megazord with a fierce deadly punch, the Rangers yell out for inside the Megazord many dangerous and hot sparks flash upon them as Dymonicus continues his attack. As the sparks continue to strike the Rangers, the Yellow Ranger says.
Yellow Ranger-We've got to do something quick!
Red Ranger-We will, don't worry!
The Red Ranger gives the command and the Megazord obeys. The Megazord grabs Dymonicus by his horns and swings him around in circles two times before letting go, and once it does let go, Dymonicus is sent flying into a large mountain.
Dymonicus gets up, and starts flying towards the Megazord, they both clash and the strength from Dymonicus' body knocks the Megazord down. Dymonicus laughs as his eyes start glowing, the evil power surrounds the Megazord and materializes a very hot sphere in an attempt to melt the Megazord. The Rangers inside start feeling bad but still determined to stop this monster, the Blue Ranger shouts out.
Blue Ranger-I'll cool things off!
The Blue Ranger says to the dolphin zord arm attachment.
Blue Ranger-AQUATIC COOL BREEZE PUNCH!
The dolphin zord arm attachment obeys the command, glowing brightly blue, and sending a charge to the main brain of the megazord the dolphin produces a cooling wave of energy flowing through the Megazord's body. The Megazord then does a very quick and hard punch towards the center of the heat sphere therefore cracking it immediately.
Dymonicus gets angry and attempts to attack again but the Megazord kicks him into another mountain. The Red Ranger then says to the Pink Ranger.
Red Ranger-Hey Zelda you want to finish this one?
The Pink Ranger nods and says.
Pink Ranger-It'll be my pleasure and besides I owe him one!
Yellow Ranger-Yeah, do it girl!
The Pink Ranger says very loudly.
Pink Ranger-UNIVERSAL STAR SABER ACTIVATE!
Suddenly a beautiful star saber with the energy of the Universe appears in the Megazord's right hand.
Now the Pink Ranger says with extreme force before Dymonicus has the chance to attack again.
Pink Ranger-GALACTIC SLASH!
The Saber glows brightly as the Megazord holds it highly above, Dymonicus charges again but this time is stopped. The Megazord does a powerful swiping slash all over Dymonicus' body, he screams out in agony as he falls onto the ground and eventually explodes three times. The Rangers all cheer when its clear that Dymonicus is nothing more than dust disappearing into the sky.
Power Rangers-ALLRIGHT!
Sinistar gets very angry at this like usual and vows revenge.
Sinistar-One day I will win, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week but one day I shall be the victor! I swear it!
Her eyes glow supremely red as the scene fades to black.
Later on, everyone meets up at the juice bar. They find Zelda already there drinking a diet soda and looking very sad. Nakia walks over to her and sits down.
Nakia-Are you ok?
Zelda looks at Nakia and responds.
Zelda-Yeah, I think so.
Nakia-Hey don't be so sad, that guy er monster tricked all of us.
Zelda-Its not that, well it is that and the fact that I thought I found Mr. Right.
Nakia-Don't worry, you will some day.
Zelda-I hope so.
Nakia-And hey the next time I get too talkative about Ryan let me know ok? Don't hold it in.
Zelda-Okay, but how did you know how I was feeling? Was I that obvious?
Nakia-Yeah, I had a feeling when you were avoiding us.
Zelda-I am sorry about that.
Nakia-No, don't be sorry, you had to deal with how you were feeling and im just sorry I wasn't really thinking about how you felt and I just kept going on and on.
Zelda-I have thought about it. You two are really happy together and so I should be happy for you.
Zelda smiles at Nakia and says softly.
Zelda-I am happy for you.
Nakia smiles.
Nakia-Thanks. That means a lot from my best friend.
The guys walk over to the table after getting what they want and after Ryan explaining to Michael and Joshua how to order and feeling frustrated. Anyway they all sit and start talking and laughing together, all is well, till next time.
