Chapter 33 Vampiral Bats
The evil sorceress is very pleased with herself. Her power has sent the Yellow Ranger into the very book she was reading in hopes that she will never be able to return. Along with her plan, she also decides of something new to deal with the other Power Rangers. She sits on her star throne quietly holding the book, she quickly flips through it and immediately the written pages become completely blank so the Yellow Ranger will have no chance of returning. She will do everything in her evil power to make sure she stays forever. She stands up from her throne and says.
Sinistar-First its time for a change.
Sinistar holds out her star staff and soon her body begins to surge with yellow lightning. The yellow lightning extends out from her body and touches her staff, it slowly turns her staff into a hideous looking scepter. Her scepter begins longer, darker and has spikes sticking out everywhere except for the part she holds. And the very tip of the scepter extends and forms into a claw like form with a beautiful crystallized star right in the center of it. Sinistar's outfit begins to change as well. It goes from its usual all body leather spandex suit to a long black starry dress with a hideous protective vest that at the neck sight begins to extend out into a claw like form. And also a beautiful chainlike crystallized star necklace appears and lays itself onto her neck Sinistar closes her eyes as now the lightning that continues to surge through her body changes her blonde hair to black and makes it a bit longer that it swings over her right shoulder and rests on that side, and afterwards a hideous black crown with spikes and in the center, a star crystal appears on her head. And lastly but not least, black crystal heeled shoes are placed on her feet, when finished she opens her eyes and smiles greatly.
Sinistar-Excellent. I feel new power surging through my veins! All I had to do was extend my energy! I feel wonderful! HAHAHA!
She smirks again and says.
Sinistar-Now, for the next phase.
In the book, nightfall rests as Nakia and Drake sit at his place and in his living room. With the pages blank anything can happen now and the doors are closed that is unless Nakia finds a way back.
Not mentioned before but Drake's home is nice but not perfect. He has a table along with chairs in the small kitchen area, a sitting chair in his living room, a bed in his bedroom and all the necessities but no extras. He's doing well considering he's a bachelor in the early 1900's. Nakia sits and thinks. She wonders how will she be able to get back to her own world, she immediately starts missing all of her friends. When she puts her head down on Drake's table, he extends his hand and places it gently on her head. He then says.
Drake-Don't worry. Things will be all right here. It will take some getting used too. But you'll be fine.
Nakia doesn't want to show her face right now so her voice sounds a bit distorted as she speaks.
Nakia-I have to get back home eventually. I can't stay here forever.
Drake's eyes become sympathetically warm and caring. He speaks again.
Drake-To be perfectly honest. I had hoped you'd want to stay with me.
Nakia slowly brings her head back up and responds to that.
Nakia-I can't. I know you're a kind and loving man but I just can't. I have people who care about me in my own world. And I have a duty.
Drake-Duty?
Nakia-Yes. I have to be there to help protect my world from the forces of evil. So I can't stay.
Suddenly Drake's body begins to feel a terrible, horrible painful urge. He falls onto his knees and clutches his stomach as he screams out in total agony.
Drake-NO, NOT AGAIN! UGH! I CAN'T STAND THIS PAIN! I CAN'T STAND IT!
Nakia looks down and tries to help him up but he keeps moving around too much, she yells out in a sympathetic tone.
Nakia-WHAT CAN I DO?! TELL ME, DRAKE?!
Drake speaks out in his agonized voice.
Drake-I… NEED… TO… FEED!
Nakia gasps. She says to him.
Nakia-Isn't there another way?
Drake-NO!
Drake gets up immediately and transforms into a bat right before Nakia's eyes, he then fly's out of his home without haste. Nakia rushes outside and looks up into the dark and starry night as she says in a deep hearted sympathetic tone.
Nakia-Oh.. Drake.
Meanwhile back in Nakia's reality. Her friends have been searching for her all day but can't find her at all. They start to wonder and worry.
The evil Sinistar uses her powers to take her star ship to the moon. When it lands, it transforms into a hideous yet beautiful black crystal palace. At will she can transform her palace back into her star ship if need be. She steps out onto the large balcony and looks upon the planet earth which is in clear view. She holds her Dark Star Scepter and points it towards the planet earth and says to herself.
Sinistar-Ah.. Yes. The Planet earth in perfect view.
She smirks to herself and speaks again.
Sinistar-Its time for the next phase of my plan. The Yellow Ranger's book has given me the perfect creatures of which I shall enslave.
She puts down her Scepter. And snaps her fingers, as soon as she does a bolt of black lightning with a yellow center appears and strikes her body causing her to disappear.
The same lightning strikes an area located outside of a very dark cave that isn't really visible unless you're right up on it. The sorceress steps out of the black smoke the lightning caused. She walks into the cave slowly and carefully, as she starts smelling the dead air she smiles and says to herself.
Sinistar-A delightful place to transform my new warriors!
She walks deeper into the hideous cave and finds puddles of water, she looks up but doesn't see anything, she does sense something but can't be sure unless she has a bit of light to confirm her feeling. She holds up her Scepter and the crystallized star lights up and brings forth a brightness that begins to shine all through the cave. The light reveals an entire fleet of ugly looking vampire bats.
Sinistar smiles deeply and sends a powerful surge through her Scepter and into the sleeping vampire bats. The power surges all through their bodies as the evil sorceress says.
Sinistar-Very soon. When they awaken they will serve me and only me!
She laughs and disappears with the speed of light.
Back into the now wordless book. Nakia finds a large wrap around sweater and decides to put it on, she leaves Drake's home and starts searching for him. As she walks through out the town she runs into some people with pitch forks, flaming sticks, crowbars and pipes. She gasps as she hears a heavy built middle aged man with dark hair and the eyes to match say.
Henry-Now we've got to find that beast! He's killing everyone!
A woman with black hair, brown eyes and looks like she's in her early thirties responds.
Melissa-I agree! He must be killed! If we don't kill him he'll kill us!
Nakia keeps herself out of sight as she listens to them all talk about getting rid of Drake once and for all. She says to herself.
Nakia-They can't do that! Its not his fault. He needs help, not murdered.
She quickly rushes off as the night pursues her.
Back in the real world. Ryan, Zelda, Kimberly, Michael and Joshua all show up at Stone Henge to tell Myndor that they haven't found Nakia anywhere in town. Zelda walks up to him and asks.
Zelda-Do you think something's wrong Myndor?
Myndor-I'm not really sure. But if Nakia's not anywhere around.. Well.
They all get his gesture and nod.
Ryan-We'll be on alert.
Myndor-Good.
Back in the book. Nakia walks all through the town in search of Drake. Just as her tired body is about to give out she finds him. Hiding behind a large brick building in an abandoned area. She can't see his face but she does know he found someone. She rushes over to him and rests next to him. She says after she catches her breath.
Nakia-Drake. You can't keep doing this. I know its not your fault. But you can't keep doing this at all. If I read the ending of this book then maybe I'd know what to do, but I don't.
Drake says in a low tone.
Drake-Book? Why do you keep saying book?
Nakia-You wouldn't understand. But listen to me. I want to help you. I know you're a good guy and you don't deserve this. You need help and I want to be that person to give it to you.
Nakia moves closer to try and see him but Drake orders her not to look at his face since its not in its normal form. Nakia moves back a bit but continues to talk to him.
Nakia-I want to help you. Please let me.
Drake stands up but says nothing. He notices the time for the sun to arise is near so he takes off into the sky as a bat. Nakia stands up and says.
Nakia-What am I going to do?!
She turns around but notices nothing but wasted blood on the ground. She asks herself.
Nakia-If he killed someone, where's the body.. I see lots of blood, but no body. This is really strange.
She thinks and starts acting like a detective.
Sinistar waits until the vampire bats awaken with infused energy of evil. When they do she immediately releases them from their caved prison.
Seconds later, the city of Terra Falls finds itself under a heavy vampire bat attack. Ryan and the others are alerted by the Wizard's Pool. They look into the pool and see a hoard of bats flying everywhere and attacking people.
Zelda-Oh no. Sinistar's at it again.
Ryan says.
Ryan-All right its time to morph. We'll deal with this first then we'll look for Nakia again.
They all nod in agreement.
Ryan steps up and puts his hand up in the air, he then yells out as the others do the same.
Ryan-STARLIGHT POWER!
Their bodies begin to glow and soon a blinding light materliazes. As it disappears Ryan and his friends have been transformed into the Power Rangers Star Force Team. They quickly teleport out of Stone Henge.
Seconds later the Power Rangers appear right in the heart of the city, where the bats are fiercely attacking people. The hoard of bats notice the Rangers and instantly regroup, they form into a single line with a gap in the middle The Rangers tell the people to run away while they have the chance and they do so. A flashing bolt of black lightning with a yellow streak appears and strikes the center ground. Out of the lightning bolt appears Sinistar in her new form. The Rangers gasp because they don't know who she is and the fact that she looks very powerful.
The evil Sorceress presents herself and of course this surprises the Rangers. The Pink Ranger steps forward and asks sternly.
Pink Ranger-Where's our friend?! Where's..
She's cut off. Sinistar says with a funny grimace.
Sinistar-The Yellow Ranger? Oh she's all right. But trapped, within another dimension, she'll never escape. Besides she set the entire scene up for me. Eventually she'll be killed by the vampire.
The Rangers gasp again.
Red Ranger-VAMPIRE? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Sinstar laughs out loud. When she stops she says.
Sinistar-Oh I sent the Yellow Ranger to another dimension. One of where she'll never return.
Red Ranger-WHERE DID YOU SEND HER EXACTLY?!
Sinistar-I wouldn't worry about that. I'd worry about myself if I were in your position.
Sinistar raises her scepter and immediately transforms all of the bats into hideous looking demonic creatures with slimy faces, long sharpened teeth and large claws. The Power Rangers look at them in astonishment and in hopes if they will be able to defeat them.
The Red Ranger says to his friends.
Red Ranger-All right everyone, spread out and be careful!
They all say.
Power Rangers-Right!
Sinistar smirks again and gives the command.
Sinistar-ATTACK THEM MY VAMPIRAL BATS! AND DESTROY THEM ALL!
The Vampiral bats do as ordered. They each attach one Ranger at a time. First the Red Ranger finds himself in the middle of a bunch of them, they swipe at his suit and cause a small explosion that soon starts to also give him a bad surge but not bad enough to seep into his skin. He screams out in pain but still hangs in there. He materializes his weapon and strikes three vampiral bats with it. They fall onto the ground but not really hurt. They get up again and attack him. Two holds the Red Ranger while the other one extends its teeth and rushes over to his neck to take a huge bite. But before the creature has the final chance the Red Ranger calls forth his new dragon power. His body starts glowing brightly with red flames. The flames extend and capture the vampiral bats threatening him. They soon scream out in complete agony as the fire from the Red Ranger's body burns them to a crisp.
The Blue and Black Rangers decide to work together as they too are attacked. The Blue Ranger uses his harpoon to pierce into a couple of Vampiral Bats. When the harpoon rips through their bodies they fall and explode instantly. But that's not all. More bats attack both Rangers. They are swiped and almost bitten but both Rangers stand their ground. The Blue Ranger captures a vampiral bat and the Black Ranger does the same. Both Rangers use their energy to cause both vampiral bats to spin off. The spinning speed increases and the spinning bats knock down the remaining bats threatening both the Blue and Black Rangers. After its all over all of the bats are found in a huge fiery explosion.
The vampiral bats threatening both the Pink and White Rangers have them in a bind. But they think very quickly and decide that instead of fighting back in a fierce way, they'll just confuse their enemies. On the right side stands the White Ranger and on the left stands the Pink Ranger. They both take off doing back flips far away from their enemies. The vampiral bats do just as both Rangers predicted. They chase them relentlessly. The Pink Ranger and the White Ranger continue doing back flips, they then twist around and switch sides very quickly. They do it again and again so they'll confuse their enemies which they do very well. The hoard of bats split up so they'll have two teams. They continue to chase them and as both of the Rangers switch sides again the bats run into themselves and explode.
The Power Rangers now regroup and confront Sinistar. She grows very angry at seeing how easy they have won. The Red Ranger steps forward and asks seriously.
Red Ranger-WHERE DID YOU SEND NAKIA?!
Sinistar's face turns angrier than before, she points her scepter at the Rangers and immediately sends out a very powerful cosmic wave blast. The Rangers are found within a whirlpool of immense agony. As it disappears the Rangers still whirl around a bit but fall onto the ground in pain. Sinistar says.
Sinistar-You will never find your friend!
She looks at the piles and piles of her burnt up vampiral bat warriors. She grunts and points her scepter at the piles. She then releases a blast that strikes the burnt up warriors and forms it all into one large hideous looking full bodied Vampiral Bat. She looks up at it and commands.
Sinistar-FINISH THEM OFF!
She then snaps her fingers and as soon as she does a black lightning bolt with a yellow streak appears and strikes her into a disappearance.
The Power Rangers stand up but in pain. They look up and see the Vampiral monster. It opens its mouth and sends out fiery breath blasts towards them, they are hit and as they are flung up due to the explosive strikes they scream out in pain once again. They hit the solid ground with hard smacks.
The Power Rangers stand up again. They look up into the air and see the large Vampiral bat beginning another attack. The White Ranger rushes over to the Red Ranger and says frantically.
White Ranger-We can't use the Megazord without the Yellow Ranger!
He says in a sighing tone.
Red Ranger-I know. But we can't just stand around here and let this thing do what it wants!
Blue Ranger-That's right.
The Large Vampiral bat sends out more fiery blasts. The Black Ranger yells out.
Black Ranger-LOOK OUT!
The Rangers flip out of the way slightly but they are still hit by the blasts. They yell out a bit as they all fall back onto their backs.
Power Rangers-AHHHH!
They stand up again and one by one they call on their zords. Soon, the Red Dragon, the Pink Panther, the Black Bull, the Blue Hammerhead Shark and White Phoenix all appear in the sky. The Zords attack the Vampiral bat at once but they are soon sent back to the other side of the battlefield by the bat's fearsome energy blast. The Pink Ranger says in worriment.
Pink Ranger-That thing knocked them away like the wind!
The Vampiral Bat waves it gross and slimy hands around, this causes a heat beam to arise and strike all of the zords at once. The zords robotic forms start surging and setting off small explosions as the heat beam strikes them. The Red Ranger turns around and says to the others.
Red Ranger-Come on we've got to get into our zords and pilot them ourselves!
Pink Ranger-Good idea!
The heat beam disappears as the Power Rangers all leap into the sky, they soon land in their zords. As they take their proper places inside of their zords separately, the vampiral bat prepares to attack again. The Red Ranger says inside of his red dragon zord.
Red Ranger-Come on, we've got to fight and win!
He uses the controls inside of the zord to bring it back to its feet. The others get control of their zords as well. They all regroup and prepare to fight.
The White Phoenix Zord flies up and fires a hot ray from its eyes. The hot ray stings the Vampiral bat right in its face, it lets out a screeching howl as it grabs its face and falls onto its back. The White Ranger yells out from inside of her zord.
White Ranger- ALLRIGHT!
The vampiral bat stands back up and is looking worse than before. It fires its fiery breath at the Phoenix and knocks it out of the sky. It lands on the ground next to the Vampiral bat and starts to surge. The bat then kicks the zord like a airless football. The zord then rushes into the other zords and knocks them all down in crashing thunderous booms.
The Blue Ranger says from within his zord.
Blue Ranger-UGH! WE CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS!
The Pink Ranger gives a command and makes her zord leap up and jump onto the Vampiral Bat. The Pink Panther zord then bites the bat on its left arm. It screeches and swings around in an attempt to knock the zord off of its arm but the bite has a very firm and tight grip.
Instead of exerting more energy, the vampiral bat uses its free hand to grab the panther zord and rip it off of its other arm, and when it does this it takes a chunk of the bat's arm. The thing then heals itself and at the same time sends lightning surges into the Pink Ranger's zord. She screams out in pain as the lightning strikes not only her zord but her as well. The creature then flings the surging panther zord away from it and towards the other zords. The panther zord crashes horrendously into the other zords and causes them all to surge and strike their pilots with surging lightning from within.
Red Ranger-UGH!
White Ranger-UGHH!
Black Ranger-UHHH!
Blue Ranger-UHH!
Pink Ranger-UGH!
The Red Ranger says in a worried tone to the others.
Red Ranger-If we don't find a way to defeat this thing! Then we'll never win and we'll be finished.
He says in his mind.
Red Ranger-We've got to save Nakia! I can't lose her and I won't lose her!
Sinistar looks from her new palace. She laughs maniacally as she holds the book that once belonged to Nakia for a short time. She looks at it and says.
Sinistar-Those Ranger fools will never find their friend and to make sure.
Her pupils inside of her eyes start to flame and as soon as they do the book catches on fire right in Sinistar's hand. After the book completely burns up the evil sorceress says.
Sinistar-Those Rangers are finally done for! AHAHAHA!
