Chapter 27 Nova Quest Part 1

The Power Rangers walk along the very dusty place as they look up into the sky. They notice a combination of beautiful stars seeming to lead them to where they need to go. The Black Ranger asks.

Black Ranger-Do you really think its smart to just start walking anywhere around this place?

The Pink Ranger responds to that.

Pink Ranger-Don't know, but what have we got to lose?

Black Ranger-Our lives no doubt.

Blue Ranger-We don't know anything about this place.

Black Ranger-So very true but I highly doubt standing around will help us.

Blue Ranger-I guess.

Yellow Ranger-Let's just keep walking and see what we run into.

Red Ranger-Yeah.

They all sigh and keep walking in hopes to find something that will be able to help them understand why they're there.

Meanwhile, on Sinistar's ship. She summons Dragonlord to her chambers as she telepathically removes her bandages. He appears bowing.

Sinistar-Dragonlord I cannot believe that both Elephantytan and Ninjara have been destroyed all in the same day and setting! But I have been aware of the Power Rangers unexpected departure. I don't know where they are but I do know now is the chance for us to strike and capture Myndor!

Dragonlord asks feebly.

Dragonlord-Capture Myndor? I thought he was no longer apart of your evil plan.

Sinistar responds.

Sinistar-That was only because I figured that if I destroyed the Rangers only then would I be able to secure the Amulet of Power. With them gone I know we can search for him and make him use his powers to give me the amulet, or die where he stands.

Dragonlord nods.

Dragonlord-I shall need assistance.

Sinistar-Of course.

Sinistar stands up and points her star staff towards an area a few feet away from Dragonlord. Soon after the staff releases an energy blast that forms into a monster holding a giant spiked hammer. The monster is bronze and is formed grossly with sharpened claws, teeth and a stench. Sinistar chuckles and says to Dragonlord.

Sinistar-Meet HammerX! He'll assist you in your search!

Dragonlord looks at the monster and stands up.

Sinistar-You two should have no trouble whatsoever. The Power Rangers are gone! So don't fail me!

Dragonlord-We won't.

Back in the Nova Dimension, the Power Rangers end up walking farther than they expected. They get to a certain area filled with the night sky, a very sandy ground and as they look up, sawed off mountain tops. The Pink Ranger asks.

Pink Ranger-Uh! This never ends! How are we supposed to know where we are?

Yellow Ranger-I have no idea. Its strange. This world seems like earth but yet I feel its different.

Pink Ranger-Yeah, the walks are longer.

They all chuckle. The Blue Ranger suggests.

Blue Ranger-Perhaps we should try contacting Myndor.

Red Ranger-Yeah.

The Red Ranger tries to contact Myndor through telepathy but he gets no answer, and soon the others try but they too get no answer. The Pink Ranger says sadly.

Pink Ranger-I guess we're not still on earth then.

Yellow Ranger-We have got to find a way out of here!

Black Ranger-We have to find Kimberly first.

Yellow Ranger-Yeah.

Just then the Rangers notice the dark and starry sky releasing many fireballs upon the ground, they cover themselves quickly.

Black Ranger-What's this now?!

Blue Ranger-Looks like fireballs!

The Rangers try to find an area to hide in because the fireball storm is getting a lot worse, they search around but find nothing at all. Suddenly it all stops, the fireballs turn into small flames as they burn on the ground and soon those flames transform into fiery creatures with a flaming outer shell. The Power Rangers stare at them as they regroup. The Yellow Ranger's tiresome feeling starts making her angry and this also brings on her attitude.

Yellow Ranger-Oh just what we don't need!

Pink Ranger-Maybe they're friendly.

Yellow Ranger-I doubt that. Any weird looking creature is always out to get us, and you know why? Because we're POWER RANGERS!

Pink Ranger-Yeah but it doesn't hurt to try and communicate.

Blue Ranger-Zelda's right. Let's at least see if they're hostile.

Yellow Ranger-Oh fine, sure. Of course. I'm always wrong.

Pink Ranger-Nakia calm down.

Yellow Ranger-I'll stay right here while you all go and see if they're "hostile."

The Yellow Ranger stays put while the other Rangers walk slowly over to the flaming beings who just stand there staring hard at the Rangers. The moment the Yellow Ranger turns her back in anger she hears fighting yells. She turns around and see's her friends fighting with their newly proven enemies. She gasps and yells out.

Yellow Ranger-TOLD YA SO!

She starts running to help out. She immediately materializes her Daggers. And so the fight begins.

Meanwhile back in Stone Henge, Myndor receives an alert from the Wizard's Pool.

He looks into the pool and asks.

Myndor-What's wrong now?

The Wizard's Pool immediately activates and begins to speak.

Wizard's Pool-Sinistar has sent down Dragonlord and one of her monsters to try and find you.

Myndor gasps.

Myndor-What?

Wizard's Pool-Yes. They are here on earth searching. We fear they will attempt to destroy the city as well.

Myndor-But the Power Rangers aren't here.

Wizard's Pool-You must do something to protect the city.

Myndor-Yes, you're right. I can't let them harm innocent people.

Wizard's Pool-You have the power to stop them but be warned it may drain your body dramatically.

Myndor-I know.

The Wizard's Pool deactivates.

The Red Ranger swipes his enemy with his sword but all it does is get back up, the fiery creature then does a turn around fiery kick and hit's the Red Ranger right in his chest, this also causes a small explosion set off by the kick as the Red Ranger is flung away, when he hit's the dusty ground his body starts glowing brightly Red. As the glowing red disappears the Red Ranger turns back to his normal self. The other Rangers notice and gasp as they watched Ryan lose his Ranger powers.

The Black Ranger tries to use his weapon but his enemy kicks it out of his hand but that's not all, the Black Ranger's cannon catches on fire immediately and burns up, he turns around in disbelief and just as he turns around his enemy does a super high kick right to his head and knocks him back, slightly senseless but totally powerless.

The Blue Ranger calls forth his whirlpool attack but its no use, two of the fiery creatures destroy it and attack him with a vengeance. He tries to hold them off as much as he can but they seem to be gaining strength, his trident is taken and burned to a crispy smelly dust which disappears, and then the Blue Ranger is beaten, and I mean beaten badly, both of his enemies kick him around fiercely, and punch him, they throw him up in the air and rise just to land a hard punch to his stomach, when he lands back onto the ground he too starts losing his Ranger powers.

The Yellow and Pink Rangers decide to work together in hopes they might be able to take down their enemies. The Yellow Ranger stands on one side of their enemies and the Pink Ranger stands on the opposite side, they materialize their weapons and as one of the fiery creatures leap up into the air, so do the two Rangers, they fire their weapons at the fiery creature from opposite sides but it proves to be too fast and quickly gets out of the way, so the two Rangers hit each other unintentionally and fall hard onto the ground. As soon as they land their fiery enemies attack them, they hold up the Pink Ranger while one takes a punch to her stomach and then a mighty kick where she is sent flying away from them all, she lands hard smack a few feet away from her friends and as she does hit the ground she starts losing her Ranger powers. The Yellow Ranger yells out as she is hit and also flung away, when she lands she is the last to lose her powers. The fiery creatures regroup to burn away the remaining of the Power Rangers weapons.

Everyone regroups as the fiery creatures look at them and just as they are about to attack again the ground opens, not a little bit, but a lot. It opens and completely swallows all of the fiery creatures, leading them to their explosive doom.

Nakia looks at Ryan and asks.

Nakia-What do you think this is all about?

Ryan-We lost our powers. And we're stuck here. I don't know anything about all of this.

Nakia-We may not have our powers but we're still Power Rangers.

Ryan looks at Nakia and gives her a stern look, but he nods and slightly smiles. She hugs him and he hugs her back. They then look out and see the ground slowly closing. Zelda says.

Zelda-I can't believe we just got our butts whipped like that.

Joshua-What's so hard to believe? We don't know anything about this place. And I think things are going to get a lot worse for us.

Zelda-Oh jeez. Did you really have to say that Joshua?

Joshua looks at Zelda and responds.

Joshua-I.. I'm sorry.

They soon hear a female voice that seems to be covering the entire area. They look around but see nothing matching the voice, they clear their minds and listen.

Nova-Power Rangers. You must get to your friend Kimberly. She has been in a fierce battle against the Griffin. You must help her. That is the only way to save you all.

The Rangers gasp.

Michael-Kim!

Ryan looks up and asks.

Ryan-How are we supposed to find her?

He is answered.

Nova-I will assist you in reaching your friend. This place is not for the likes of you. There are many dangers, and if I don't help you, you will not be able to defeat the creatures of this world. And you must find the Starlight White Ranger before you are able to leave this dimension.

Nakia gasps.

Just then a sphere of light appears right in the center of the dark starry sky. The sphere expands and this causes the Rangers to cover their eyes.

Back on earth, both Dragonlord and HammerX begin their mission. They both stand in the middle of a neighborhood street and HammerX holds up his disgusting looking hammer and slams it down onto the street, the force is so strong that it actually causes the street to open a bit. Dragonlord looks at him and asks.

Dragonlord-What sort of thing are you doing?

HammerX-I'm going to send a surge of power through the ground, as the ground continues to open the surge will go with it.

Dragonlord-And?

HammerX-It will find Myndor!

Dragonlord-How are you so sure?

HammerX-I am very sure!

Dragonlord-I'll trust you on that. But if we fail, you will be responsible!

HammerX-Don't worry, my tracking system never fails!

Back in the Nova Dimension, the now Powerless Rangers finds themselves in another area within the dimension. The blinding white sphere of light disappears and they hear the voice again.

Nova-This is the best I can do. I have kept you away from the more dangerous dangers, and now the rest is up to you.

Joshua says.

Joshua-Thank you. Whoever you are.

Nova-I am your friend and for now, confidant. You will meet me again when the time comes.

The voice fades away and they all look around, they notice a beautiful body of water and large trees coming out of the water. Nakia says.

Nakia-What in the world?

Zelda-There's something you don't see everyday.

Nakia-I know. Strange.

They turn around and start to leave but soon Zelda finds her foot caught by a vine, she turns around and see's a vine coming out of the water. She gasps and says to her friends.

Zelda-Hey! I'm caught!

They turn around just as the vine starts tugging hard at Zelda, she falls onto the ground and is being dragged into the water. The others rush over to her quickly and grab onto her arms. They pull and pull but the vine proves to be stronger, that is until Michael finds a rock, he then cuts the vine off of Zelda's foot. The vine retracts back into the body of water. Zelda looks at Michael and thanks him, he helps her up and Nakia asks.

Nakia-Are you okay?

Zelda responds.

Zelda-Yeah I'm all right.

Nakia-Good.

The body is water starts to shudder as the ground under the Rangers begins to shake, the body of water then rises up like a huge watery tornado, they all watch and gasp.

Nakia-What's happening now?!

The watery tornado forms into a super huge creature with tree's on the top of its head, the creature is made up of water of course, and has a very mean looking face. The monster looks down at the Rangers as it lifts its heavy hand. Zelda screams out.

Zelda-I think we'd better get out of the way! There's no telling what this monster has in mind!

Nakia-Oh yeah there is. It's going to try and destroy us!

The creature sends out a very powerful concentrated white energy blast from its large hand, the Rangers manage to leap out of the way except for Ryan, he ends up being badly hit right in the center of his chest, when the others turn around they see Ryan slowly falling down onto his knees and then onto his stomach as he groans out in agony. Nakia rushes over to his side and turns him around, she starts thinking that Ryan will be all right, but things don't look so good for him.

The others rush to Ryan's side as well. The monster is preparing another attack as Zelda, Michael and Joshua stand over Nakia and Ryan. Nakia starts crying out and telling Ryan that he'll be okay. Her voice turns very frantic as he looks up and closes his eyes slowly as if he's being called by a higher being. Nakia says to him.

Nakia-Ryan you can't leave! I won't let you! We need you!

She then says in a softer tone.

Nakia-I need you.

Ryan slowly regains his strength but not fast enough. Zelda see's a couple of tree's standing tall a few feet away from Nakia and Ryan, so she asks Joshua and Michael to help her break a few branches. They do so and just as the monster sends out more energy to hurt Ryan and Nakia, Zelda, Michael and Joshua hit the energy blast with their branches like star baseball players and sends the energy right back at the monster, the monster ends up hurt and falls back into a body of water.

Nakia thanks them and so does Ryan.

Back on earth. HammerX's tracking system continues to rip through the city of Terra Falls. Both he and Dragonlord follow it but they still see no sign of Myndor. Dragonlord asks.

Dragonlord-Where could that old wizard be?! He can't hide forever!

HammerX-He won't be able to! We'll find him then take him back to Sinistar!

Dragonlord-For your sake, you had better be right.
