Chapter 39 Journey to the Planet Miraki

On the green planet of Miraki live the Mirakian's. The Mirakian's are simple beings. They are all similar regrinding their looks. Some are very tall, some are very short, others are fat while others are not. They all have black eyes that seem to pop out of their sockets as if someone or something tried to choke each and every one of them. They're a strange alien force but peaceful that is unless they want something really bad within the limits of the universe or are provoked to fight. They always wear clothing made out of the grassy fields that rest upon their planet.

The Mirakian's do have a problem. Long time ago their planet went into a slumber, one of which they had thought would awaken with their Emperor. But things hadn't went the way it was expected. No, every last Mirakian has awakened, except for the Emperor. And not only that, but there's more chaos. Oh yes, the Emperor is trapped within a tomb located on the hillside of a large mountain covered with green Mirakian grass. Now the tomb can only can be opened by a great being with a tremendous amount of power. The Mirakians have tried constantly to release their Emperor but their efforts are futile.

You see to explain things a bit better. The Emperor wasn't supposed to climb into the tomb of eternal damnation, but when the planet's winds caused everyone to fall asleep, he just couldn't resist. So he climbed into the tomb without really having the sense to fear the warning and fell asleep very quickly. The warning is simple. Anyone who sleeps within the tomb will awaken, but not as they once were. And that only will happen if a being of great power opens it.

A strange scanning probe makes its way scanning into the planets of our Universe to search for a source of strong energy, stronger than earth's energy. And on the other end of the scanner, the person receiving the images and sounds of whatever the scanner finds is the evil Sinistar. She sits and watches as the scanner sends the images to her viewing dome. She says to herself as she watches planet after planet which seems to have no life.

Sinistar-Dead planet after another. The Universe is more boring and powerless than I thought!

Ah, she spoke too soon. For her scanner has probed into the planet of Miraki. She listens carefully and observes. After a few seconds, the sorceress' evil brain starts to think. A smirk appears on her face as she says.

Sinistar-Hmm this is most welcome news. Perhaps I can be of..

She clears her throat and says in a whispering mocking tone.

Sinistar-Help with whatever they need freed. And which I sense is a great deal of energy on that planet that will help me destroy those bothersome Ranger morons!

She laughs.

Sinistar-Yes.

On earth, Ryan, Michael and Joshua are playing basketball while the girls sit on the bleachers and watch. Ryan is wearing a red basketball jersey and black shorts, while Michael is wearing a white t shirt and silver shorts and Joshua is wearing a blue tank top and white shorts. And on the bleachers, Nakia is wearing a yellow jean skort which is a pair of shorts with a flap over them making it look like a skirt. She's also wearing a white t shirt, comforter shoes and she has her hair down. Zelda is wearing a pink t shirt, black jeans and white tennis shoes, and finally Kimberly is wearing a white bottomed dress with swirling starts imprinted on it and she's wearing a light aqua blue t shirt and tennis shoes.

As the guys continue to play, Zelda says something to Nakia and notices her face looking very dreamy. She nudges Nakia and says in a very playful tone.

Zelda-Ooo looks like the lovebirds made up..

Nakia snaps out of her dreamy trans. She looks at Zelda and commences to say.

Nakia-Yeah, Ryan and I are doing better than ever.

She shows both Zelda and Kimberly the expensive yellow gemstone ring Ryan has been working to pay for. They exclaim with delight.

Zelda-Wow its so pretty.

Kimberly-I'll say it is. And bright too.

They all giggle. Nakia says.

Nakia-Yeah, what more can a girl ask for? I love Ryan so much. He means a lot to me. And he bought me something that resembles our love for each other.

Kimberly-That is so sweet.

Kimberly sniffles, then they all giggle again.

Meanwhile, Sinistar travels with Dragonlord by her side to the Planet Miraki. When they get there they notice the vast difference than that of earth. For one, the ground every where is covered by grass, there's not a single spec of dirt anywhere. And like mentioned before, even the mountains are covered by the grass.

The main being in charge is called Illak. Now this being is medium in height and is as ugly as ugly can get. It wears a sheet of green grass all over its body except for his head. He walks over to Sinistar and Dragonlord as they make their way towards the mountain she had seen on her viewing dome. Illak introduces himself surprising in English.

Illak-I am Illak. What is your purpose here?

Sinistar stops walking as she holds her scepter close to her. She then says.

Sinistar-I am quite aware of the predicament you and the others are in. And I have come to help you.

Illak-You have?

Sinistar-Yes. I know who can. But only for a price.

Illak-What is your price?

Sinistar-I sense your planet holds a great amount of power. I want half of that power!

Illak gets a devilish smirk on his ugly face but doesn't let it be known.

Illak-Oh yes. That is what we want to free from the tomb of eternal damnation. If we free the energy our planet will never die.

Sinistar-I see. Well like I said I want half of that power!

Illak-Then you shall have it. If you keep your end of the bargain.

Sinistar-Of course.

She thinks of the Power Rangers and then says in a whisper.

Sinistar-This will be like killing two birds with one stone. Excellent! I will harness the power from this planet and use it against those Rangers! They will wish they hadn't returned!

Back on Earth, Nakia and the other girls are still watching the guys play basketball that is until they hear their communicators beep. Soon they all regroup and a very sweaty Ryan answers his communicator.

Ryan-What's up Myndor?

Myndor-Rangers, teleport to Stone Henge immediately. You are desperately needed.

Ryan-We're on our way.

They all stand together with Ryan in the center and soon the process of teleportation begins. First, a red star appears and hovers of Ryan, and then a yellow star does the same to Nakia, and finally a pink star, a white star, a black then blue star all appear and hover over the other Rangers. Afterwards the Ranger's bodies start to transform into beams of their color coded stars which is now being absorbed into the stars that hang over them. The stars then burst into glitter that disappears into mid air.

A few seconds later the Rangers find themselves at Stone Henge. Myndor immediately covers his nose as he gets a wift of Michael, Ryan and Joshua. And instead of leaving them that way he simply uses a bit of his magic to make them cleaner than ever before.

Nakia exclaims.

Nakia-Wow I'm Impressed!

Zelda-Me too.

Myndor's face starts to look serious as he reports.

Myndor-There is trouble on the planet Miraki.

Joshua-What kind of trouble?

Myndor-Sinistar is attacking the planet.

He shows them the image inside of the pool. They gasp as they see a giant sized dragon attacking the beings of the planet.

Myndor-The wizard's pool alerted me of this seconds ago. You must get there and stop her.

Michael asks.

Michael-We teleport?

Myndor-No.

Kimberly-Then how are we supposed to get there?

Nakia shrugs her shoulders in response to that as she says.

Nakia-Magic..Maybe.

Myndor-No none of that. Listen I have been working on something just in case for a situation like this one.

Zelda-What do you mean?

Myndor-Miraki is very far indeed from this planet and so you'll need some special traveling vehicles.

Myndor blinks his eyes a few times and tells the Rangers to go outside to see. They do and what they see is unbelievable. Smaller versions of rockets with their symbols and color codes. They walk around them and jump in to see if they fit, and they do. Myndor says to them telepathically.

Myndor-Rangers, these are your new Star Cruisers.

Nakia-Wow they're wonderful!

Ryan-Totally awesome looking.

Zelda-Looks like we will definitely get to Miraki with the speed of light.

Joshua-I think so too Zelda.

Michael-No slow delays for us.

Kimberly-Of course not, we're the Power Rangers its our job to move super fast.

They all chuckle at Kimberly's comment, Myndor then says.

Myndor-Now transform and get to Miraki. You'll have no problem finding it. it's the only green planet closest to earth.

They all jump out of their star cruisers and quickly morph. Once finished, they leap back into their star cruisers and start them up. Soon they all take off into the sky with the speed of light, or if possible faster than light.

A few seconds later the Power Rangers find themselves gliding out in space. The Yellow Ranger looks around and see's the many stars that were so far away and are now so close to her as she says.

Yellow Ranger-It's beautiful out here.

They increase their speed in order to get to Miraki faster. Meanwhile, on the planet Miraki, the evil Sinistar's minion Dragonlord attacks the planet, although it is supposed to be staged, it seems all too real, especially to the inhabitants of the planet.

Illak and the others have placed the tomb out on a large field covered with their green grass as Dragonlord stomps the ground fiercely and attacks everything mercilessly.

Illak walks over to Sinistar as she watches the so called light destruction and says.

Illak-Are you sure this will work?

Sinistar says.

Sinistar-Of course you fool! The Power Rangers will be here! That's a guarantee.

Illak-But will they be strong enough to open the tomb and release its energy?

Sinistar-Yes.. That Megazord of theirs will do the job nicely.

Illak-Very well.

Dragonlord lets out a few fiery blasts and burns up a bit of grass, and this makes Illak a bit worried.

Illak-If that dragon beast continues, he'll destroy our planet before we can save it!

Sinistar-Relax simpleton. Everything will go according to plan. The Power Rangers will attack Dragonlord and he will trick them into opening the tomb. Just make sure you place it behind him so those Rangers won't see it!

Illak-Do not fret.

Illak says to himself as he uses a bit of magic to place the tomb behind the very large Dragonlord.

Illak-Oh yes, once the tomb is open, our Emperor will be free and then he will banish all that do not belong here.

He slightly chuckles.

The Power Rangers are still making their way to the planet when something occurs to the White Ranger. She says to the others.

White Ranger-Hey since it's a big dragon attacking, shouldn't we use our Megazord?

The Red Ranger who's up ahead with the Yellow Ranger looks back and responds.

Red Ranger-We will. As soon as we get there. We'll call for our zords.

They all nod and say.

Power Ranges-Right!

Illak looks up into the sky and see's a fleet of rockets approaching Miraki. He looks and says to Sinistar.

Illak-Are those the Power Rangers?

She looks up and knows its them. She says with anger.

Sinistar-Yes! Now you'd better get away from me or the plan will fail!

Illak nods and immediately leaves.

The Power Rangers leap out of their star cruisers quickly and land on the opposite side of Sinistar. The Red Ranger steps forward and begins to speak.

Red Ranger-We don't know what you're up to.

Now the Black Ranger says.

Black Ranger-But whatever it is, we're here to put a stop to it!

Sinistar smirks but says nothing. Instead she commands Dragonlord to continue his attack on the planet.

The Power Rangers call for their starlight zords and commands them to form into the Mighty Starlight Megazord. Once finished, the Power Rangers leap into the Mighty Megazord and take their seats. They confront Dragonlord.

Dragonlord rushes over towards the Megazord and swipes at it a few times with his claws therefore causing the Megazord to surge a bit. When the surging stops the Rangers make the Megazord take Dragonlord's tail and swing him around about five times and then let go. Dragonlord is sent flying up high then he falls right back down onto the tomb which is not really noticed since the Rangers are concentrating on defeating Dragonlord.

Sinistar is amazed to see the weight of Dragonlord not being able to put a crack in the tomb. She scratches her head and says.

Sinistar-Oh dear. Well good thing I didn't think of that earlier. Wouldn't of worked anyway it seems.

Dragonlord gets back up and fires a heavy breath of fiery blasts towards the Megazord. The blasts cause the Megazord to fall onto its back and inside, the Rangers feel every bit of it.

Power Rangers-UGH!

The Megazord stands back up and materializes its Saber. The Red Ranger says to Dragonlord.

Red Ranger-You're finished this time Dragonlord!

The Blue Ranger adds.

Blue Ranger-Time to put your lights out you overgrown lizard!

They command the Megazord to administer the final strike. The Megazord glides over quickly and attempts to strike Dragonlord with its saber, but Dragonlord jumps up high and the Megazord delivers one powerful strike towards the tomb which now causes it to shake.

The Rangers inside of the Megazord hears Sinistar laughing. She looks up at them and says.

Sinistar-You fools! You have been tricked!

The White Ranger says.

White Ranger-Tricked?!

The Pink Ranger exclaims.

Pink Ranger-What does she mean by that?!

Yellow Ranger-I think we are about to find out.

They all look and see the tomb shaking violently now. The Power Rangers leap out of their Megazord as Dragonlord falls onto the ground in normal size. The Megazord is instructed to leave but return quickly if the Rangers need them.

Illak and a few other natives of the planet rush over to the tomb as well as Sinistar who is now looking very happy.

Sinistar-Yes, the energy will be mine.

Illak says to Sinistar in a cold tone.

Illak-I'm so sorry but there is no energy here. Just our emperor and when he awakens you'll be banished!

Sinistar's smile turns into a hideous frown.

Sinistar-What did you say?!

Illak-You have been tricked too!

Before she has a chance to say anything, the tomb bursts into many pieces. A cloud of dust appears and covers everything due to the tomb bursting, but as it disappears everyone looks up to see a tall handsome male creature not looking like the rest of the inhabitants on this planet. The male creature has very similar looks to earth men. Sinistar looks angry, and I mean very angry as she see's him standing in a pair of black leather pants, a leather vest and a black cape. He's handsome as I said before, with a v shaped goatee and a bit of a mustache. His left arm looks normal but at the end instead of having a hand, he has a large black hook.

He speaks in a thundering voice to everyone around him.

Emperor Makai-I am Emperor Makai, lord of everything on this planet. If you do not belong here I suggest you leave now.

The Power Rangers don't know what to do. So instead of staying around and trying to figure things out, they leave in their cruisers. Sinistar however is angry as said before. She vows she will get revenge very soon as she disappears along with Dragonlord.

The inhabitants are very happy to have their Emperor back, but he seems different. A lot different. He seems meaner than before and apparently know one paid any attention to what was written on the outside of the tomb. What will the Emperor do now that he's back. A question that plagues the minds of many.
