Chapter 36 Book Catastrophe

Finally night arrives and Drake awakens. He walks up to the front room of his home and see's Nakia sleeping on his kitchen table, so he walks over to her and shakes her a little just to tell her she can sleep on the couch. When she does wake up she is startled a bit but comes back to her senses. Nakia jumps up and immediately starts telling Drake of her plan.

Drake-You don't need to concern yourself.

Nakia responds with an exclamation.

Nakia-Oh yes I do! Don't you see, if I don't help you I will be stuck here forever.

Drake-And what's wrong with that? I've grown to..

She cuts him off.

Nakia-No, you just need me to watch over you during the day. And its lucky those people didn't get in here yesterday.

Drake-What?

Nakia-Yeah they were ready to kill you. But listen.. I want to tell you about my entire plan to make you human again.

Drake sighs but listens.

Nakia-I say we confront the beast that turned you into what you are now.

Drake-What?! Impossible.

Nakia-What do you mean impossible? Nothings impossible as long as you're determined.

Drake-I know what beast did this to me. It is the master of the dead whirlpool of souls. The god of the beasts that must drain blood from innocent beings just to survive!

Nakia-Drake.. Who?

Drake-Ever since the first night I could feel its potent blood mixing with mine. Its evil nature tearing at my soul!

Nakia-Who is it? Where is it?

Drake-This monstrous beast only attacks every so often. Since I am one of its kind now I know where it is.

Nakia-Well answer my questions then! Please..

Drake-The beast is the king of dark soldiers needing to drain the blood away from innocent people just to survive! The beast is known as Nosferatu!

Nakia gasps.

Nakia-Nosferatu?! Oh I've heard of him, but only in books.

Drake-What?

Nakia-Nevermind. I do know he's very powerful.

Drake-Yes he is. And is merely unstoppable when he needs to feed.

Nakia-Well everything has a weakness. I just have to find it.

Drake exclaims.

Drake-ARE YOU CRAZY GIRL?! You can't confront Nosferatu! A mere glance would blind your soul!

Nakia-That's a chance I have to take. I have to get back to my own world. And destroying that beast is the only way. And besides I want to help you too.

Drake sighs.

Drake-I thank you for thinking of me. But the pain of knowing you are confronting Nosferatu is too much to handle.

He moves closer to her and puts his hand on her cheek and slowly rubs down as he says.

Drake-I don't want you to do this. I can't handle the beast, so what makes you think you can?

Nakia moves his hand off of her cheek and says.

Nakia-You don't know everything about me Drake. If all goes well I'll be able to transform into the warrior I am!

Drake gasps.

Drake-Are you a vampire slayer?!

Nakia-I guess you could say that. But only a slayer to the evil ones. And you're not evil.

Drake sighs again.

Back in Nakia's reality world. The Power Rangers awaken from their sleep within their healing casings. They get out of them and walk over to Myndor.

Myndor-You're all feeling better. That's good.

Zelda says.

Zelda-Myndor. Sinistar told us that Nakia is trapped forever. Or.. She's.

Tears form in Zelda's eyes and won't allow her to finish her sentence. Myndor responds.

Myndor-The Wizard's Pool has found Nakia.

They all gasp with cheer.

Ryan-REALLY?! WHERE?!

Myndor-She's within another dimension with the setting of the vampire book.

Ryan-Just teleport us there!

Myndor-Its not that easy Ryan. First you must find the book.

Ryan says in a sad tone.

Ryan-Sinistar destroyed it.

Myndor-Well perhaps that's true. But aren't there copies around?

They all gasp.

Zelda-OF COURSE! Why didn't we think of that before?!

Ryan-Oh yeah! I didn't. oh.. Man! We'll get to the library then!

Myndor-Good. And return here with a copy of the book then I'll be able to send you all into the book and rescue Nakia.

Ryan cheers.

Ryan-All right!

He looks at his friends and tells them.

Ryan-Come on guys. Let's go get that book!

They all nod in agreement. They all teleport out of Stone Henge with their Ranger suits still on but as they reappear within the city of Terra Falls they are all found wearing their regular clothes.

Sinistar gets an image in her viewing dome. She see's the Rangers and immediately summons Dragonlord. He appears bowing.

Sinistar-Get to earth and deal with those bothersome Rangers!

Dragonlord-As you wish.

Dragonlord disappears quickly.

The Rangers walk across the street and over towards the park, they leave the park and walk over to the library. As they walk into the library's parking lot they are greeted by Dragonlord and an army of his dragon warriors. Zelda gasps.

Zelda-Oh no!

Ryan-Oh well its time to take out the trash!

People coming out of the library start to scream as they see the dragon warriors. They quickly rush back into the library. Dragonlord orders his warriors to attack the Rangers and they do so.

Ryan leaps up off of the ground and does a cannonball flip, he quickly lands gently on a red sports car. Dragon warriors surround the car and try to knock him off of it but they can't. One of them leaps up a bit and swings its scaly leg around to kick Ryan off but all he does is jump up a bit to avoid it. He then does a front flip off of the car and does another cannonball flip before he lands on the ground. The warriors attack him but the strength given to him from his feeling of happiness makes him feel really good. So Ryan leaps up in a twirling twisting tornado style kick, and knocks down the entire fleet of dragon warriors threatening him and gently lands on his feet once again.

Zelda does a twirling around back kick and a front kick, she ducks just as soon as she notices one dragon warrior trying to hit her. She gets back up and kicks it in the stomach and then she leaps over it and does a body twist as she lands on her feet, she then does a front swooping sweeping kick and knocks it off of its feet. More show up and Zelda immediately gets back on her feet, she runs up the body of one dragon warrior and pushes off of its face to do a awesome back flip kick in mid air to knock it away from her. The kick was so powerful that the dragon warrior crashes into the other ones threatening Zelda and causes them to explode in a huge fiery explosion.

Michael kicks with his right leg but one dragon warrior catches it so all Michael does is a full side body twist which makes the dragon warrior twist along with his body. As the dragon warrior falls Michael quickly gets back up and leaps off of the ground he then sticks out his right leg in mid air and lands fiercely onto the dragon warriors chest. This causes a foot imprint in the dragon warriors chest as can be seen when Michael moves away. More warriors rush over to it and tries to help it up but its too late, the fallen dragon warrior explodes and takes the ones trying to help it with it.

Joshua ducks as a dragon warriors tries to hit it, he gets back up and does a tornado kick to send it away. Soon others attack him and so Joshua does a back flip and when he lands on his feet he goes down and does a powerful swooping sweeping kick which brings all of the dragon warriors threatening him down at once and into a fiery explosion.

Kimberly takes two dragon warriors by their shoulders and pushes them together, they crash and become disoriented she then slowly lets them fall onto the ground in another explosion. Kimberly then takes off and does a side flip then a back flip then she leaps up a bit and does a cannonball flip to avoid the dragon warriors' kicks, sweeping swoops and punches. When she lands on her feet she kicks two dragon warriors in their back very quickly and they fall hard onto the ground in a huge explosion. Soon she defeats the other dragon warriors threatening her and they all end up dust.

They all regroup and Ryan says to Dragonlord.

Ryan-Is that the best you can do Dragonlord?!

Dragonlord growls and disappears quickly.

Zelda is about to say something but a group of scared people from inside of the library walk out clapping. One woman who looks like she's in her mid twenties with black hair and brown says and wearing a long white dress says.

Debbie-Oh thank you. You whipped those things!

Ryan-No thanks needed.

Michael-They were trash anyway.

Kimberly-Definitely and so we took em out!

They all start laughing. Soon everything breaks up and everyone walks into the library. They all start looking around and asking questions about Vampire books and soon they are showed the section of where they should be. Kimberly looks around but doesn't find the book Nakia had. Zelda asks.

Zelda-Are you sure?

Kimberly-I'm sure. It's not here. We'd better go and ask at the front desk.

Ryan-Good idea.

They all rush up to the front desk and ask the Librarian on staff. Now she's young about 26 and with brown hair, brown eyes and wearing a very boring looking green and white dress. She ends up looking for the information in her computer and finding out that they do have one returned copy of "Vampire's Romance." She looks puzzled while reading a special reason, so she turns to them and says.

Ms. Davis-Um it seems that the book has been returned. There are 13 copies checked out. But the book that was returned earlier today seems to be in a position that won't allow it to be checked out.

They gasp.

Ryan-What position? We need that book.

Michael-Yeah, we promise to bring it back as soon as we're finished with it.

Ms. Davis-I'm sorry but we can't check out books that have not been printed.

Zelda asks.

Zelda-What do you mean?

Ms. Davis-I mean the book doesn't have anything published in it. Its completely blank, every page.

Zelda-That's weird. But can we still borrow it?

Ms. Davis-No. I'm sorry. But when the problem is fixed be sure to check back and then you'll be able to check it out. Have a nice day.

She smiles and leaves the front desk. Zelda says sneakily.

Zelda-Hey she left her computer on.

Kimberly-Yeah?

Zelda-Yeah.

Ryan-Well glance at it to see who else has a copy.

Zelda-I'll try.

Just as Zelda is about to make her move the librarian returns and gets rid of her record page. She leaves again. Zelda exclaims but in a silent tone.

Zelda-Ugh!

Ryan-Come on lets get out of here. Must be another way.

Sinistar watches and immediately summons the monster Eyesore. Eyesore is a monster with a large eye in the center of its stomach, if anything or anyone is caught by the beam it produces they will become paralyzed permanently. Eyesore is a black and white monster with pointy ears and stable wings meaning they're only there for show. It has sharpened claws and an ugly monstrous face. Its only reason for being is to obey the evil Sinistar and that is exactly what it will do. The monster appears bowing. Sinistar then says.

Sinistar-I want you to go to earth and stop those Rangers from acquiring a certain book! Do you understand me?!

Eyesore speaks in a slithering voice.

Eyesore-Yes oh evil one. Anything to please you.

Sinistar-GO!

Eyesore's main eye starts glowing then it vanishes very quickly. The Rangers see people coming towards the library and wonder if any of them could have the book they need so one by one they stop and ask but don't get the answer they want. A few minutes later a very angry girl about the age of 20 walks up towards the entrance of the library. She is stopped by Kimberly. They talk for a minute and Kimberly ends up getting the book they need. The girl leaves and Kimberly rushes back over to her friends. She says.

Kimberly-I got the book!

Ryan-That's wonderful! How'd you do it?

Kimberly-Well she explained how mad she was about the book not being printed but she could of sworn it was. Anyway to make a long story short she wanted to bring it back and complain so I had to lie a bit and tell her that I was responsible for um these kind of miss happenings and told her I'd take care of it immediately and get it back to her as soon as possible. So she gave me the book.

Zelda sighs.

Zelda-Well it was kind of a long story.

They all laugh and start to leave. Ryan says.

Ryan-We've got to find a place so we can teleport.

Everyone-Right.

They start walking towards the parking lot and as they make it to the center large explosions start going off. They yell out and cover their eyes as the explosions seem to have taken over, but they die down. When the Rangers look up again they see a very ugly monster standing on the opposite of where they stand. The monster speaks in a slithering monotone tone.

Eyesore-I want that book you have! I know you have it now so give it to me!

Ryan steps forward and says.

Ryan-NEVER!

Eyesore-Then prepare for your doom!

Eyesore's main eye begins to activate, it releases a highly concentrated paralyzing beam towards the Rangers. Ryan immediately tells the others that its time to morph, so they all flip up into the air one by one and do cannonball flips at once as they all say together.

Everyone-STARLIGHT POWER!

Their bodies glow brightly and as they land out of the way of the beam they are found to be transformed into the Power Rangers Star Force Team.

The monster gets angry because it wasn't able to get them with its beam. So it attacks them by leaping up into the air and striking them very quickly. When it lands the Power Rangers are found on the ground for a second but back on their feet with the quickness.

The monster turns around and tries to zap them again but they leap out of the way. They fly up into the sky and land next to the monster with their weapons at hand. The Red Ranger swipes at it with his sword and strikes it right in its center eye, the monster screams out a bit. The Pink Ranger strikes it three times with her whip and the White Ranger hits it with her arrows. The Black Ranger punches its main eye with his weapon causing it to be in even more pain and the Blue Ranger harpoons its eye and swings it around and around when he lets go he sends the monster flying right into the library's hard cemented sidewalk.

The monster gets up and sends out monstrous blasts from its main eye in an attempt to capture the Rangers but it misses every time.

The Red Ranger leaps up again with his arms up and his sword hanging over his head as he says.

Red Ranger-Lights out pal! You're not getting that book!

An image of a large red fire breathing dragon appears all over the Red Ranger as his sword powers up and becomes inflamed, he then delivers a super firey flaming slash at the Eyesore monster as he yells out.

Red Ranger-RED STAR LIGHT FIERY DRAGON SLASH!

The monster stands up and groans out in pain, its body begins to surge and let off explosions as the Red Ranger lands on his feet. The monster then falls onto the ground and explodes into a huge fiery vortex that soon disappears.

The Power Rangers regroup with the book still in their possession. The Red Ranger starts to say but is cut off. Black clouds and sounds of thunder arise within the sky, the black clouds release a band of fierce black lightning with yellow streaks towards the Power Rangers. They are struck badly and the cars within the library's parking lot explode tremendously as the lightning continues its reign of terror. The Rangers scream out in agony as they all fall onto their backs.

Power Rangers-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Soon the lightning dies down all except for one bolt that strikes the ground and transforms into the evil Sinistar. She looks at the Rangers and growls. She then points her scepter at them and sends out a electrical sphere with explosive tentacles. The sphere strikes the area where the Rangers lay and cause a near death explosion. The Rangers groan out in immense pain as the explosion finally lets up.

Power Rangers-UUUGGHHHHH!

The Power Rangers stand up but slowly. Sinistar immediately puts one hand over her eyes, when she uncovers them, her eyes are seen glowing with immense energy, she then releases the energy through her eyes and towards the Rangers. When the powerful blast hit's the ground it causes an explosive vortex. The Rangers scream out again as the powerful vortex flings them up into midair and then across the street and soon afterwards, they crash right into a factory building leaving a large opening where there wasn't an opening before.

Sinistar fly's up and lands within the opening, she points her scepter at the hurt Rangers again and demands in a very angry tone.

Sinistar-GIVE ME THAT BOOK!

The Red Ranger says in a weakened tone.

Red Ranger-Never.. You! Ugh!

Sinistar-Then you have signed your death warrant!

She is about to release another striking blast when, everything stops!
