Chapter 25 A Dark Awakening Part 1

Many years ago rumor has said that many people from the old days had discovered lots of gold in Terra Falls old cave known as Winston's Cave located just outside of town in one of its many desert areas. That rumor once again has surfaced amongst the people in Terra Falls. In Billy's Diner a man and a woman start talking about how much gold could still be left in old Winston's Cave. The woman's name is Barbara and she is about 5'7, has black hair, brown eyes and a medium build and she's wearing a long pair of overalls. The man she's with is her best friend named Chris, and he's about 6'2 with short blonde hair and brown eyes, strong muscular build and is in a pair of old rusty blue jeans and a torn off t shirt that looks like it was once used as a cleaning rag.

Soon more people show up and are told about the so called gold probably still hanging around in Winston's Cave. And shockingly they believe it. So they all make a plan and intend to meet up with each other later on in the day.

Meanwhile, in her starship, Sinistar speaks with a new monster of hers. Now this monster is called Sound Wave because she has the ability to produce massive Sound waves to destroy entire planets and she also has the special talent of scanning planets to find powerful waves of energy. Sound Wave is basically made out of old speakers and metal. She bows down to Sinistar as she listens to her continue to speak.

Sinistar-Sound Wave. I want you to use your powers to scan the entire planet earth! I want the last star gem found immediately!

Sound Wave responds to Sinistar's order.

Sound Wave-It will be a great honor to serve you and your worthy cause.

Sinistar walks around Sound Wave as she holds her star staff, she then points towards an image of the Power Rangers developing on her viewing dome.

Sinistar-Those insipid Rangers will surely interfere! I want you to destroy them!

Sound Wave-Consider it done.

Sinistar-GO!

Sound Wave disappears quickly. Meanwhile the people who talked earlier about doing some mining for gold in Winston's Cave all show up at the same time. They walk into the old, dark and very damp cave holding their pitch axe's, shovels and barrels. One of the ladies ask.

Beverly-Hey are there any bats in here?

A husky guy answers.

David-No I don't think so. And anyway if we're going to mine for gold in here we'd better get started.

Sound Wave appears on the planet earth and this sets off a super alarm in Stone Henge. Myndor quickly looks into the Wizard's Pool and asks.

Myndor-What is it now?

The Wizard's Pool reveals an image of Sound Wave. Myndor contacts the Power Rangers through telepathy and soon they all teleport to Stone Henge. Ryan asks.

Ryan-What's going on Myndor?

Myndor-There's trouble. A monster is moving from city to city and the results are explosive.

Nakia-Oh no.

Myndor-Get to the source and stop that monster.

Ryan-We will.

Ryan looks at his friends and asks.

Ryan-Ready?

They all nod.

Ryan stands in the middle as Nakia and Zelda stand on his opposite sides and Michael and Joshua stand in the back, they materialize their star morphers immediately, they all swing their arms around once to bring their morphers together as they all say.

Everyone-STAR FORCE, POWER UP!

The one by one they touch the stars located in the center of their morphers as they each say one by one.

Ryan-RED!

Nakia-YELLOW!

Zelda-PINK!

Michael-BLACK!

Joshua-BLUE!

Very soon after a red beam, a yellow beam, a pink beam, a black then blue beam all appear and shine down on each Ranger, and soon after stars appear and attaches themselves on each Ranger's chest. Now, all of the stars start expanding all throughout their bodies therefore powering them all up. When complete they are all transformed into the team known as the Power Rangers Star Force.

Myndor says to them as they teleport out of Stone Henge.

Myndor-I shall inform Kimberly if you are in need of her power.

The Sound Wave monster makes her way to Terra Falls, she sends out powerful blasts of sound that destroys buildings, streets, bridges and many other things around the city. The Power Rangers appear right in front of the monster just as she is about to send out another powerful wave towards a delicatessen. The monster says to them.

Sound Wave-Well if it isn't the Power Rangers! I was told you'd interfere with my mission and for that you'll be destroyed!

The Yellow Ranger steps forward and says.

Yellow Ranger-Don't count on it!

The monster smirks as her eyes start to flash, and soon many shards of light appear and attempt to strike the Rangers, but luckily they all leap out of the way. The Yellow and Pink Rangers materialize their weapons and leap up into the air together, they both fire their weapons at the monster and bring her down with a powerful strike, she screams out.

Sound Wave-AHHHH!

As both the Yellow and Pink Rangers land, the Blue and Black Rangers leap up with their weapons in hand as well, they glide over their comrades and strike the monster with their weapons as well. When they land the Red Ranger leaps up and over them with his sword in hand, as it begins to glow brightly red he yells out and delivers a very powerful slash.

Red Ranger-BLAZING SWORD! HYAH!

The monster's body begins to surge and crack a bit, she screams out in complete pain as she falls onto her back. The Rangers all regroup and congratulate each other.

Sound Wave stands back up and calls forth an army of metal warriors, she gets her strength back and vows to get even with the Power Rangers. She disappears quickly.

Pink Ranger-Hey where'd she go?!

The Yellow Ranger looks at the metal warriors and says.

Yellow Ranger-We've got trouble.

Blue Ranger-Hey I thought we destroyed those metal heads when we took out Metallix?

Red Ranger-Well they're back now. Nothing to converse about. Let's get them!

Yellow Ranger-Yeah, if we work together as one then we'll defeat them!

Pink Ranger-That's right!

Black Ranger-Come on Rangers, lets do it!

They all nod in agreement.

The Blue, Red and Black Rangers all stand side by side as both Yellow and Pink Rangers leap up onto their shoulders, the Yellow and Pink Rangers then leap off of their shoulders with their weapons in hand, and quickly after they fire their weapons together as they say.

Yellow Ranger-HYDRA STUNNER!

Pink Ranger-HAWK BOW!

The arrows and blasts combine to quickly destroy an entire side of the metal warriors army. And next, the Red, Black and Blue Rangers all leap up and over the girls as they land they prepare powerful punches which they soon deliver to the remaining Metal Warrior creatures. With the powerful punches administered, they all fall onto the ground in a very huge fiery explosion.

Yellow-All right, we did it!

They all start cheering. But the Red Ranger stops and reminds them.

Red Ranger-We've got to find that monster before its too late.

Yellow Ranger-Right.

The people in the cave have already begun their digging, they've only been digging for a few minutes and already found something very strange, well they haven't found it whole, but something blinking that makes them believe is strange.

Sound Wave appears right out of the large cave and says.

Sound Wave-Ah yes I sense a very powerful energy in this cave! Won't Sinistar be happy to know that I will deliver it to her! I'll use my powers to wipe out this cave and claim the prize!

Meanwhile, Myndor and Kimberly watch the monster through the Wizard's Pool. Kimberly is wearing a white and pink flowered dress and pink comforter shoes, she asks Myndor.

Kimberly-What do you think is going on?

Before he has the chance to answer, the Wizard's Pool immediately activates and very quickly it speaks.

Wizard's Pool-Myndor you must get the Power Rangers right to the location of the Monster.

Myndor-Yes, they are on their way now.

Wizard's Pool-There is a very powerful force within the cave.

Myndor-What force? Another star gem?

Wizard's Pool-Yes but this star gem is not tamed. It is wild and out of control. If those humans within the cave release it then it will be able to destroy everything within its sight.

Myndor-How do we tame it?

Wizard's Pool-Only the destruction of its outer shell can tame the spirit within the star gem. But we warn you, it will not be easy. The spirit of the griffin has a powerful dark side and we fear that the world shall know very soon.

The Voices within the pool fade away slowly. Kimberly looks at Myndor and suggests.

Kimberly-Maybe I can get there and use the power of the Phoenix to get the star gem.

Myndor-That would be too dangerous. The Phoenix is powerful but from the Wizard Pool's warning I doubt the Phoenix would have a chance. No you must work with the Power Rangers to subdue this dangerous spirit. But perhaps we just need to make sure it cannot escape.

He thinks then says.

Myndor-No, we need all three star gems to form the Nova Crystal.

He looks at Kimberly and says.

Myndor-Help the Rangers tame this new spirit. We must not fail.

Kimberly-Right.

Sound Wave is about to release her powers again but the Power Rangers flip back into action. She looks up and before she knows it both the Red and Pink Rangers strike her with their weapons, she yells out as she falls onto her back. She looks up and see all of the Power Rangers standing together with their weapons in hand.

Sound Wave gets back on her metal feet. She then sends a powerful wave towards the Rangers, they try to get out of the way but the wave surrounds every inch of where they stand so they end up getting hit.

Power Rangers-UGH!

They all fall onto the hard ground with crushing smacks. Sound Wave then says.

Sound Wave-You Power Rangers won't stop me! I'll destroy the prison that's holding the power I desire to return to Sinistar!

The Red Ranger looks up and says.

Red Ranger-Huh!? What power?!

Suddenly Kimberly is teleported right to the Rangers location. She stands before them and helps them back onto their feet, she then explains everything she knows.

Blue Ranger-There are people in there?

Kimberly-Yes and I think they found the spirit of the griffin.

Black Ranger-We've got to get in there and stop them then.

Kimberly-No we can't! Myndor says we need the last star gem.

Red Ranger-She's right. We've just got to try and tame it if its going to cause us some trouble.

Yellow Ranger-Oh jeez, our work never ends.

Pink Ranger-But at least we're here to see to it.

Yellow Ranger-Yeah.

Sound Wave says.

Sound Wave-Stop wasting my time you foolish Rangers, and prepare to be destroyed!

The Black Ranger looks at her and says.

Black Ranger-Its you who'll be destroyed!

Sound Wave-I don't think so!

In the cave, the people find a very beautiful looking gem that was buried deep inside of the ground, they pull it to the surface and as soon as they do the gem starts surging. One woman asks frantically.

Karen-WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

No one answers, they all start getting worried as they see the gem looking like its going into a self destruct mode. The gem floats away from their hands and starts releasing a vortex of destructive power, the people inside of the cave cover their faces and heads and decide to leave before they end up getting really hurt. They all start running away and just as they are about to reach the outside a powerful force field appears and retracts all of them, they frighteningly scream out because they don't know what will happen to them.

The Power Rangers notice and try to help but there's nothing they can really do. Before anyone knows it all of the people trapped in the force field become energy that is absorbed into the star gem and once that has happened the star gem lets out a huge burst of energy that reaches the outside of the cave, and the results are very explosive. So explosive that, Kimberly, the Power Rangers and Sound Wave are all caught within the fiery blaze. They scream out in complete agony as the fiery blaze stings them. Soon it all disappears. They look up and see a very big and monstrous form of energy walking out of the cave. They really can't make out what it really is but they know its dangerous.

The energetic creature growls and snarls as it releases a very agonizing vortex of power. The power surrounds the entire area along with Kimberly, the Rangers and Sound Wave and literally almost knocks them to the ground. The Power Rangers all look at each other and the Yellow Ranger asks in pain.

Yellow Ranger-Ugh! What are we going to do about this thing now?!

Red Ranger-I don't know!

Blue Ranger-Ugh!

Pink Ranger-The power is too strong! Ugh!

Sinistar watches with amazement through her viewing dome. She smirks and says to herself.

Sinistar-This new creation will serve me well. I shall have its power! Hahaha!
