Chapter 67 The Search for the Skull of Leviathan Part 2
Dark Sinistar begins to demand answers from General Mystica. She analyzing the whole situation then speaks to her leader as she bows next to her throne.
General Mystica-I believe the Power Rangers have been sent to another time.
Dark Sinistar-Another time?! That means the Rangers could be in the exact location of where Leviathan's skull lays!
She becomes hysterical.
Dark Sinistar-WE MUSTN'T DELAY OUR PLANS! FIND OUT WHERE THEY WENT MYSTICA AND FIND OUT NOW!
General Mystica nods.
General Mystica-As you command.
Meanwhile, the Power Rangers continue their search for answers as they walk through the vast grass field. The Yellow Ranger makes a suggestion.
Yellow Ranger-Maybe if we go over to the castle and find someone there who could help us.
Before anyone answers, everyone hears a familiar voice up in the sky.
Nova-Power Rangers.
They stop in their tracks and look up.
Red Ranger-Nova? Is that you?
She responds.
Nova-Yes. I brought you here for a very special reason.
Pink Ranger-What reason?
Nova-You must find the skull of Leviathan.
White Ranger-The skull of what?
Nova-Leviathan. Dark Sinistar and her minions are making plans that will enable them to get the skull. Once in their possession they will be able to give their supreme master a physical form in your world. So it is imperative that you find the skull before they do.
Green Ranger-But where do we start looking?
Nova-Friends shall help you.. They will guide you as soon as they can.
Blue Ranger-Thanks for your help..
Nova-No time to dawdle Rangers, both our worlds are in great danger. And if Dark Sinistar succeeds in resurrecting the demon god Leviathan, we all shall perish.
Pink Ranger-Don't worry Nova. We'll find it.
Yellow Ranger-Yeah!
Nova-May the power protect you all.. Good luck Rangers.
Her voice fades away slowly as the wind begins to slightly whistle. The Power Rangers look at each other in dismay. The Red Ranger is the only one who begins to speak..
Red Ranger-Come on everyone.. We've got a very important mission ahead of us. And we need to take care of it now.
The Yellow Ranger speaks.
Yellow Ranger-Right. Let's go.
In a familiar looking temple. The kind wizard Myndor stands before a cauldron that he set next to the very large statues. The statues awaken as they get a spiritual message from Nova.
Jed, the first statue begins to speak.
Jed-Myndor.. The Power Rangers are here. They need your help.
Myndor looks up from his cauldron and says.
Myndor-What? They're here?
Jed-Yes. They must find the Skull of Leviathan. And quickly.
Myndor gasps.
Myndor-Oh no! The Skull.. I thought it was destroyed centuries ago.
Jed-No, it was hidden. They must find it before Dark Sinistar does.
Myndor nods. The statues all fall back dormant.. Myndor then immediately contacts Kastra and informs her of the serious situation. When she arrives at the temple she walks over to Myndor who's now casting a spell to find the Power Rangers.
Kastra-Do you know where they are?
Myndor speaks but doesn't look Kastra's way.
Myndor-I'm going to bring them here.
Kastra starts pacing around as she says.
Kastra-Leviathan.. The demon god.
Myndor-Yes, an enemy that brought this land terrible peril.
Kastra-We must do everything we can to stop those evil villains!
Myndor-We will.
Myndor finally gets an image of all six Rangers walking through the land. He waves his hand and sends a blue cool energy into his cauldron. Both he and Kastra watch as the energy wave surrounds the Rangers and disappears with them in it. A few seconds later the energy wave reappears within the temple. The wave disappears as Myndor says to the Power Rangers.
Myndor-Welcome..
The Yellow Ranger exclaims.
Yellow Ranger-Myndor!
Red Ranger-You brought us to this place?
Myndor-Yes. And we know why you're here.. So we must work fast.
Pink Ranger-Nova told us what we have to do.
Myndor-I know.
Kastra walks over to them and clears her throat. She then says in a real peaceful like way.
Kastra-I think we should tell you the facts first.
Myndor nods his head in agreement. The Power Rangers all take off their helmets and each of them sits down on a stone ledge which is located next to the large statues. Myndor walks over to them along with Kastra and says.
Myndor-All right. Many centuries ago there was a man who yearned for the powers that would allow him to become a supernatural being. He did terrible things in order to appease the demon gods.
The White Ranger asks.
Kimberly-What did he do?
Myndor-He killed many innocent people. And was able to sacrifice their souls to the evil world.
Kastra-Yes, and with that done he was given a gift. The gift was power and it was that power that transformed him into a demon god.
Myndor-And as a demon god he walked the earth taking over lands and enslaving more people as to which he killed for their souls. His reign of horrific terror lasted for centuries, until he was confronted by five druids.
Nakia-What happened then?
Myndor-The druids used powers they had gained from the stars. This was at a time before they asked for powers that formed the amulet of power.
Kastra-And with those powers gained they were able to destroy Leviathan.
Myndor-However, the other demon gods knew Leviathan's physical form would be destroyed on earth so they acted quickly right before the battle against the Druids and Leviathan commenced.
Kastra-Yes before his death, the other demon gods cast a very powerful resurrection spell on his skull. When the battle was over the skull was lost.
Ryan-Here's hoping it stays lost.
Kastra-Although the spell on Leviathan's skull was quite powerful it would only work if a demon from his command in the pits of hell appeared on earth to find the skull and use it to conduct the resurrection ceremony.
Myndor-That is correct. And if the demon succeeded in completing the ceremony then Leviathan would be able to gain a physical form in our world once again.
Chet-So that means he would be back on earth doing the same thing he had done before by killing more people.
Myndor-Yes and by doing so he would be sacrificing more souls to the other demon gods as well as to himself.
Joey-Damn that is just horrible just horrible!
Kastra-The skull is the only thing that can give him a physical form in our world.
Myndor-That is exactly why we must prevent it from ever being found.
Kastra-When I was possessed by the demon spirit I heard everything. Voices in my head coming from the demon god. But yet my own spirit delayed the demon spirits real wishes. It changed and instead of wanting to release Leviathan, it wanted the amulet of power. Now that its on its own, it wants to bring back Leviathan.
Zelda-We can't let that happen.
Kastra starts to feel an overwhelming feeling of guilt. And soon everyone notices by the way she begins to look. Myndor looks at her and asks.
Myndor-Are you all right Kastra?
She looks back at him and responds to his question.
Kastra-Not really.. I feel.. Its all my fault.
Zelda asks.
Zelda-What do you mean?
Kastra looks at Zelda this time and continues to speak.
Kastra-I released the beast who's now trying to do this horrible thing.
Myndor cuts in before Kastra says another word.
Myndor-You can't blame yourself Kastra. Its not your fault. You were trying to save our land, which you did.
Kastra-Yes but.
Myndor cuts her off again.
Myndor-This is no time to blame anyone.. We've got to work together to keep Dark Sinistar and her minions from finding the skull.
Kastra nods in agreement.
Back in the present day Dark Sinistar impatiently waits for General Mystica to give her an answer on where the Power Rangers are possibly. She gets an answer after yelling and screaming into the air. General Mystica appears bowing as her crystal ball floats above her head. Dark Sinistar exclaims.
Dark Sinistar-WELL?!
General Mystica answers.
General Mystica-The Power Rangers have been transported five hundred years into the past.
Dark Sinistar sits on her throne as she begins to think.
Dark Sinistar-Five hundred years into the past eh?
General Mystica-Yes Empress.
Dark Sinistar-Then that's where we are going!
She summons General Jin, General Crimson and General Valkor. They all appear bowing before Dark Sinistar as she is still sitting on her throne. Before Dark Sinistar starts to speak, Drikhan appears before her throne. She looks at him and says with disgust.
Dark Sinistar-What are you doing here?!
Drikhan responds.
Drikhan-I thought you would allow me to continue to help you.
Dark Sinistar-You are worthless! And I don't need help from worthless minions!
Drikhan-But I tried my best.
Dark Sinistar-Your best wasn't good enough!
Drikhan begins to cower down as Dark Sinistar's eyes begin to glow all sorts of colors but burned into one superbly colored glow.
Drikhan says this time in cowardly tone.
Drikhan-It wasn't my fault.. The Power Rangers got in my way.
Dark Sinistar's voice begin to change horrifically. She puts her right hand up as she says.
Dark Sinistar-SILENCE!
This causes a very powerful wave of darkness to appear. The intensity of the wave makes all of her Generals along with Drikahn to be flung across the room. They all hit the stoned wall on Dark Sinistar's right side with tremendous force.
General Jin says disorientally but quietly.
General Jin-Ughhh! And she wants more power..
Dark Sinistar says to Drikhan in a thundering tone.
Dark Sinistar-Drikhan!
Drikhan gets up on his feet for just a second because he soon decided to bow once again. He responds.
Drikhan-Yes my Empress?
Dark Sinistar looks at him and says.
Dark Sinistar-There is one task you can do for me. And I am quite sure you won't fail.
Eager to please, Drikhan asks enthusiastically.
Drikhan-Oh yes Empress, what task do you have for me now?
Dark Sinistar-Oh its quite simple.
Dark Sinistar now stands and holds up her left hand in which she opens and this gesture materializes a sphere of light that quickly transforms into a flaming dagger.
She says as she forcefully throws the dagger at Drikhan
Dark Sinistar-DIE!
As that word is spoken the dagger impales the top of Drikhan's head and the force from the impact is so strong that it knocks him against the wall again.
Drikhan-UGGGGHHHHH!
The dagger transforms into a burning hot white flame that hungrily consumes Drikhan's entire body, in fact nothing more of him is left except his echoing screams of horror.
Drikhan-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!
When the flame disappears Dark Sinistar looks at her Generals and says with great determination.
Dark Sinistar-Stand!
All of her Generals quickly obey and walk over to her as she continues to speak.
Dark Sinistar-As you all know quite well I have no patience for worthless minions and the second any of you prove to be just as worthless as Drikhan was I will incinerate you where you stand wherever it may be.. Do you understand my warning?!
They all slightly cower in fear but nod as they say together.
Generals-Yes Dark Sinistar..
Dark Sinistar-Good! We're going back in time. And I'm almost positive the skull is right where the Rangers are. So lets go!
Generals-As you command Empress.
Now Dark Sinistar rises her scepter over her head and begins to generate a blinding power beam. The beam expands until it covers everyone in the room. When the beam dies down, the room is completely empty.
Back in the past. The Power Rangers put their helmets back on and listen to what Myndor has to say about how they can acquire the skull. The White Ranger asks.
White Ranger-But how do we know its even here?
Myndor-Because this is the time where Leviathan was defeated.
White Ranger-Ohh..
Myndor-We'll guide you through it all.. First I'll teleport you all to the mainland. Cawdor's main farm land to be more exact, and from there you'll have to travel through the swamp area to get to the cave side.. I believe you'll find it buried within the cave.
The Red Ranger nods..
Myndor-Be careful Rangers. And may luck shine on us all.
Myndor immediately teleports the Rangers directly into the heart of the main farm land. No one is around due to some other activity going on.. So the Power Rangers make their way north.
The Blue Ranger makes a remark as they begin to make their way to the swamp area.
Blue Ranger-I really hope we don't run into anything hideous today.
The Pink Ranger comments on his remark.
Pink Ranger-We usually do.. You should be used to it by now.
Blue Ranger-I haven't been a Power Ranger for as long as you.
Pink Ranger-I know. But it doesn't take long to getting used to being a Ranger.
A little more walking time and soon the Power Rangers make it to really gross looking swamp. Lots of big trees hang over it as well as a slightly heavy fog. They stop as they notice in order to get across the swamp they'll have to walk onto the straight line of not so big stones in the water area.
The Yellow Ranger asks.
Yellow Ranger-Oh man.. What if one of us falls in there?
The Red Ranger says.
Red Ranger-We won't as long as we keep coordinated. Then we should be all right.
Yellow Ranger-Hope so.
So one at a time the Power Rangers begin walking on the stones which are found out to be slightly loose in the swamp water. Red goes first, the Yellow Ranger follows behind him, then the Pink Ranger, Blue Ranger, White Ranger and finally the Green Ranger.
They all make it across without anything bad happening to them which is a great relief.
Finally they make it away from the watery area and find themselves deep within the swamps jungle area. Once again the Yellow Ranger makes a comment.
Yellow Ranger-Ugh.. I hope there are no mosquitoes around.
Red Ranger-Yeah, or any other bug that we have to worry about.
White Ranger-This place really stinks.
Pink Ranger-Yeah. So lets hurry and get out of here.
Red Ranger-Don't give up yet.
Pink Ranger-We're not.. Just commenting on the smell.
Red Ranger-We've got to find that skull right after we get out of this area.
The entire sky begins to fill with dark clouds and flash with brilliantly colored lighting. The Power Rangers look up and wonder whats going on. Meanwhile, back at Myndor's place both he and Kastra begin to get a very strange and worried some feeling. He runs outside and notices the sky looking horribly dark. Kastra comes out and looks up as well.
Kastra-What is going on here?
Myndor-I believe Dark Sinistar is responsible.
Kastra-We must stop her.
Thunderclaps are heard constantly as more lighting begins to flash. And soon everything freezes.
