Chapter 34 War of the Zords

To the Rangers all hope seems to be lost but they still have that last bit of determination to stop the Vampiral monster before it has the chance to do some real damage to their city.

The monster has been attacking the Rangers while they pilot their zords and their zords seem to be damaged. Yet, the Red Ranger commands the rest of his team to get their zords back up and continue to fight. It seems like the Vampiral monster is getting stronger and stronger with each blast it sends towards the zords.

All of the zords are up and ready to fight again, as damaged as they are they still have a bit of power left but not much. Meanwhile within the book, the night is still hanging over Nakia like a dark cape. She follows the blood trails in hopes of finding something that might satisfy her curiosity. You see Drake left in a hurry earlier in the night because he wanted to feed. She met up with him and saw him lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, but no body.

At the ending of the blood trail Nakia was both surprised and astonished to see that at the end was a grave with a two tree branch cross coming out of it. She leaned down a bit not far but close enough to finally understand. She gasps and says to herself.

Nakia-This proves it! He actually made a grave for the person he had to..

She sighs sadly. She then starts to think about what changed Drake into the beast he is now. She gets an idea as she takes off running from the site. When she returns back to Drake's home she notices no one around because she was expecting an entire mob to be there to try and kill him but no she see's absolutely no one. She says to herself.

Nakia-Hmm maybe they were bluffing. Maybe they were just scared. Well book or not I've got to help him. Maybe I can change the story for the better and then maybe, just maybe I'll be able to leave!

The morning sun finally makes an appearance as she walks into his home. She see's the basement floor opened and so she walks down. She see's Drake's coffin closed and so she decides that when he wakes up later on in the night she'll tell him of her idea.

Back in Nakia's reality. The Power Rangers and their zords have been badly beaten. The Vampiral monster sticks out its gross slimy hands and as soon as it does long stems emerge from both of its hands and the stems attach themselves to each and every one of the starlight zords. The monster then starts to release a very potent power through its stems and into the zords. The Red Ranger immediately tells his friends to evacuate before its too late.

So as all of the Power Rangers leap out of their Zords a huge explosion reveals itself. They all fall on the ground in pain. The Pink Ranger is the first to get up and look up. She screams out as she see's a huge bursting cloud of darkness cover the zords from the result of the explosion.

Pink Ranger-OH NO OUR ZORDS! THEY'RE..

She stops talking as the cloud of darkness from the explosion disappears. The other Rangers stand up and see their zords standing but glowing a devilish red color.

White Ranger-Oh gosh! That monster took control of our zords! What'll we do now?!

The Red Ranger looks down and says nothing. But after a few seconds he looks up and says to the others.

Red Ranger-We have to retreat. Maybe Myndor will have a way to help us.

Blue Ranger-If anyone can, its Myndor.

Black Ranger-I hope so.

The Vampiral monster lets out a howling laugh as it leaps up into the air and lands right in front of the zords. The Power Rangers all sigh and quickly teleport away from the scene.

When they get back to Stone Henge they walk into Myndor's chambers with their helmets in their arms. Myndor is found looking into the Wizard's Pool. Ryan asks.

Ryan-Myndor our Zords..

Myndor stops him from speaking. He then says.

Myndor-I know. And unfortunately my magic really can't do anything for them.

Zelda steps up and asks.

Zelda-But why not?

Myndor-If I were to use more of my own magic I could cease to exist.

They all sigh.

Joshua-I don't believe this.

Michael-Can't lose hope just yet.

Kimberly-Then what are we going to do?

Myndor-The Griffin and Unicorn Zords are functional.

Kimberly gasps.

Kimberly-The Griffin and Unicorn Zords?

Myndor-Yes. They have been released from the Nova Dimension and are ready for battle.

Kimberly-But what if they become like the others?

Myndor-Hmm. There must be a way to alter all of this.

Kimberly-What do you mean?

Myndor-I mean change things. Your zords will no doubt attack the city soon. And the griffin and unicorn zords aren't enough but..

He is cut off due to Zelda coming up with an idea.

Zelda-Hey what about our Star Zords?

Myndor snaps his fingers in congrats.

Myndor-Yes. Those Zords will be enough.

Ryan says in a sad tone.

Ryan-But Nakia isn't here. Without her we can't use her zord.

Myndor-That is true.

Ryan-And I want to know where she is! I miss her.

Zelda walks over to Ryan and says sympathetically.

Zelda-We all do.

Myndor-Don't worry I'll get the answers we need. And as for your starlight Zords. Your Star zords should be enough to fight against that hideous beast. Even though you can't form the Megazord, you still must fight.

Ryan-Yes we know that. And we will fight.

Joshua-No matter what the odds!

Myndor smiles weakly.

Myndor-Good, very good.

From her new palace located on the moon, the evil sorceress sends a wave of power to the earth and allows her image to be seen high up in the sky. She looks down at her Vampiral bat monster and says.

Sinistar-You have done very well. I shall release an army of dragon warriors to wear down the Power Rangers before they confront you again. And you have captured the starlight Zords.. This leads me to believe the Rangers will use their star zords. When they do, capture those zords as well and I'll have an entire giant robotic army at my disposal! Do not fail me!

The Vampiral monster lets out a screech that lets Sinistar know that it will do as she says. She nods and her image vanishes.

The Power Rangers teleport back to the downtown city area where they see the Giant Vampiral Monster. They are just about to call for their star zords when a group of Dragon warriors appear right behind them. The Black Ranger turns around and says.

Black Ranger-Uh oh, we've got more company.

They all turn around and slightly gasp.

Red Ranger-Aww man, this is what we DON'T need right now!

White Ranger-Come on everybody, let's get em!

They all nod in agreement and charge.

The Black Ranger jumps up a bit and lands right next to a bunch of Dragon warriors. He does a front kick, a back kick, a side kick and twisting leaping kick, and with all of those kicks he knocks down a few, but more appear and start attacking him. One Warrior picks him up by the arm and swings him around for a bit, it lets go and sends him flying right into the cemented sidewalk.

Black Ranger-UGHH!

The White Ranger kicks up in an attempt to knock a dragon warrior down, instead it grabs her leg and lifts her up, she does a semi back flip but is kicked down by another dragon warrior.

White Ranger-UUHH!

The Pink Ranger runs towards a large oak tree, when a dragon warrior attempts to catch her, she rushes right up the tree and does a wonderful flip, she lands on her feet just as the dragon warrior runs into the tree and turns into a glob of green goo. She turns around and see's three dragon warriors prepare a high kick, she tries to do something but its too late, they kick her right onto the oak tree and she splashes into the green goo.

Pink Ranger-UGHH! GROSS!

More dragon warriors flip the Red and Blue Rangers onto their backs, then two of them stomp on the Blue Ranger's chest and the Red Rangers leg. They both yell out and groan.

Sinistar watch's through her power and says with evil glee.

Sinistar-Now they'll be too weak to pilot their zords! Hahaha I'm such an evil genius! I LOVE IT! HAHAHA!

The badly beaten Power Rangers hear Myndor's voice through their minds.

Myndor-Rangers you must not give up, not now. Use your inner strength and protect your world!

The Red Ranger groans out as he says.

Red Ranger-Myndor.. Is.. Right.. We won't.. give up.. Ugh!

The others agree. They stand up and immediately they feel their strength coming back to them.

The Dragon warriors stand together as the Power Rangers regroup and the Pink Ranger gets the rest of the green goo that was hanging onto her suit, then before they know it they hear the Red Ranger say.

Red Ranger-COME ON RANGERS, CHARGE!

The Power Rangers all leap into the air together and soon they all do cannonball flips one at a time, they land in different spots of the area and take on the dragon warriors again.

The Red Ranger materializes his sword and quickly strikes a few dragon warriors quickly, their bodies burst into flames as they hit the ground. He then does a fantastic side kick and knocks one out that is until it hit's the ground as well and becomes nothing more than a flaming dust.

The Black Ranger takes a hold of two dragon warriors at once and super bumps their heads together, he then does a tornado kick and knocks down a few more, he then does a floor sweep and a super powered up back kick to bring down the rest of them.

The Blue Ranger does a double front kick and a side kick, he then leaps up and over a few warriors and lands on the other side, afterwards he activates his harpoon and releases it towards them, seconds later the dragon warriors threatening him are nothing more than dust.

The Pink Ranger does a front flip then a swirling side kick, she then does a back swirling kick and when she turns around again she quickly punches two dragon warriors in their stomachs. She quickly thinks then acts when more dragon warriors appear, she walks up on two dragon warriors just a bit then quickly she does a thunderous back flip and ends up kicking both dragon warriors fiercely in the face. They all fall onto the ground in a heap of flames.

Finally, the White Ranger defends herself from a dragon warrior attack, she blocks their kicks and attempted punches, she then delivers a fiery punch and double side kick, she then materliazes her Phoenix bow and immediately uses it to rip through the remaining dragon warriors. They soon are all no more.

The Power Rangers regroup and become proud of themselves. They look up and suddenly their moods change again.

Black Ranger-I say we call on our star zords now!

Red Ranger-You're right. Let's do it!

The Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger all stand in a circle, they reach up and say.

Rangers-STAR ZORDS, POWER UP!

The White Ranger stands next to them as she reaches up and says.

White Ranger-GRIFFIN STARLIGHT ZORD, AND UNICORN STARLIGHT ZORD, ACTIVATE!

Very quickly they see their original star zords appear in the sky along with the Griffin and Unicorn starlight zords. They all land next to the Vampiral bat monster. The Red Ranger steps up and says to the others.

Red Ranger-All right guys, lets do it!

The Power Rangers all leap up and into their rightful star zords. They take their places and prepare to pilot their zords. The White Ranger leaps into the pit of the griffin zord. She says she will control both of her zords at once.

The Vampiral monster lets out a laughing screech as it obviously gives a command to the possessed starlight zords. The evil zords attack the good zords instantly. They all release a circular formation of a fiery blaze. The good zords feel the impact quickly and start surging. The Rangers inside feel the pain as well. The Pink Ranger quickly takes her hawk star zord up into the air, she then gives the command.

Pink Ranger-PINK HAWK ZORD, ARTILLERY MODE NOW!

Hearing those words, the hawk zord materializes missiles and torpedoes on both of its robotic wings, and its eyes becomes a haven of fierce laser beams as its beak becomes a steelized cutter making it being able to rip through anything.

The Pink Ranger gives another command as her zord flies closer and closer to the Vampiral monster.

Pink Ranger-FIRE!

The Pink Hawk Zord fires massive torpedoes and missiles towards the Vampiral bat monster, when the missiles hit the beast they explode and cause the Vampiral bat to disappear in a smoky cloud of pain. The Pink Ranger gasps with delight and asks herself.

Pink Ranger-Did it work?!

She gets her answer but not one she wanted. As the smoke disappears the Vampiral monster stands back up without a scratch on it. It gives a command and soon all of the evil zords fire upon the Pink Hawk Zord. The fierce combination of their blasts strike the zord and cause it to overload and soon inside parts of it start slowly exploding.

Pink Ranger-OH NO! AHHH!

The Hawk zord crashes into a field of bushes. The other Rangers scream out but the Pink Ranger announces she's okay. Soon they all minus the Pink Ranger decide to attack. The star zords try to get to the Vampiral monster but the evil zords prevent this from happening. They don't know what to do because they can't destroy their own starlight zords. The Vampiral bat monster uses its power again and strikes the star zords and soon the evil zords follow. The massive attack causes all of the star zords along with the griffin and unicorn starlight zords to fall down hard onto the ground. The ground shakes violently and slowly cracks when all of the good zords hit it.

The Vampiral monster smirks evilly and once again produces stems through its hands. The Power Rangers see this and are determined to not let it get control of their star zords, but what can they do they wonder. They manage to get their zords back up but they are badly damaged. The Pink Hawk zord and the Red firebird zord hover over the other zords, they all decide that maybe if they combine their fire attacks that maybe it will destroy the monster and return their starlight zords to normal.

The Power Rangers all say as they sit in their zords.

Power Rangers-STAR POWER, ZORDS ATTACK!

The Blue Dolphin zord, the Black Centaur Zord, the Red Firebird Zord, the Pink Hawk Zord, the White Griffin and Unicorn zords all release a powerful blast that combines into one super hot power beam. The beam strikes the Vampiral bat monsters stems and immediately destroys them and after that the beam strikes the Vampiral bat monster. It screams out in agony. The beam becomes a blinding light over everything. The Power Rangers cover their eyes so that the intensity won't hurt them. When the beam dies down the Rangers take a look and see the Vampiral monster gone. They also see their starlight zords back to normal.

Inside of their zords they all stand up and cheer.

Red Ranger-ALL RIGHT! YES! WE DID IT!

Pink Ranger-IT WORKED! HEHE!

Black Ranger-YES!

Blue Ranger-GOOD WORK EVERYONE!

White Ranger-WHOO HOO! YEAH!

The zords all return to where they belong as the Rangers return to Stone Henge.

Meanwhile, the evil Sinistar becomes really upset.

Sinistar-I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY BEAT ME AGAIN! AND THEY WEREN'T AT FULL STRENGTH!

She growls.

Sinistar-Well they'll never.. NEVER find the Yellow Ranger! She'll be forever gone!
