Chapter 94 Signs of Hope
Sadly, the Power Rangers Star Force Team along with their friends the Power Rangers Star Storm Team failed against the evil blood witch, they tried their best by unleashing their attacks against her but to no avail. When Bansheeva decided enough was enough she used her ultimate attack against all of the Rangers which absorbed them all into her void. I take you there now. All of the Power Rangers fully formed but weak and transparent find themselves trying to figure the situation out.
Pink Star Force Ranger-We are alive!
Yellow Star Force Ranger-It sure doesn't feel like it.
Red Star Force Ranger-Yeah I feel strange too.
Green Star Force Ranger-We still have our powers!
White Storm Ranger-It doesn't feel like we can use them.
Blue Storm Ranger-Where are we? Its nothing but darkness.
Yellow Storm Ranger-If I didn't know better I'd say we're in hell.
White Star Force Ranger-Hell? No way, that is so not true.
Pink Storm Ranger-I don't think so either.
Red Storm Ranger-Bansheeva, that witch, she did something to us and brought us here.
Black Storm Ranger-We have to find a way out of here!
White Star Force Ranger-I don't think that is going to be easy, that witch is hella powerful.
Red Star Force Ranger-Yeah but we're still alive so we still have to try to beat her once we figure out a way to get out of here.
Blue Star Force Ranger-Which I think is easier said than done.
Black Storm Ranger-How are we going to get out of here?
Blue Storm Ranger-We don't even know how to make ourselves whole again let alone getting out of here.
Yellow Star Force Ranger-We still have to try.
Pink Star Force Ranger-I don't want to be stuck here forever.
Red Storm Ranger-There has to be a way there just has to be!
White Star Force Ranger-I know there is. Because I am not willing to accept this is the end.
Now doing as Bansheeva ordered, the three phantoms known as Fuumiz, Discord and Jarek appear on the planet earth spreading darkness everywhere they swirl their shadowy bodies over therefore causing the darkness to completely form together as it takes over the green grassy ground. With the shadowy darkness basically terminating the grassy ground, the three use their powers as one to rise a extremely horrid looking skull castle. Discord says.
Discord-There, it is done, Mother should be very happy.
Fuumiz-I agree Discord.
Jarek-We still have much more to do.
Discord-We know that Jarek.
Fuumiz-Don't worry Jarek we will finish our task.
Discord-On time.
They hear their mother's thunderous voice shrouding the entire scene speaking to them directly.
Bansheeva-You have done well my children and now it shall begin, all hallow's eve is upon us, spill the blood of the guilty and bring it to me, the graveyard of despair will respond to no other!
They all respond in unison.
Discord, Fuumiz and Jarek-Yes mother!
Bansheeva-Do not fail me!
Discord, Fuumiz and Jarek-We won't mother.
Bansheeva-Hahaha, all shall come into place to return my true powers!
Her thunderous voice fades into the howling wind.
Within the realm of the eternal shine Queen Phera and the others discuss Bansheeva's horrifying win against the Power Rangers.
Queen Phera-This is most grim.
Lyn Diana-Bansheeva has captured all of the Power Rangers and she destroyed both Megazords! How could she be able to do all of that?!
Queen Phera-It appears we have underestimated her abilities. Even as a blood witch she has proven she is still extremely powerful!
Lyn Diana-But I don't understand how she can still be so powerful when she is no longer one of..
She is interrupted before she can finish.
Queen Phera-Neither can I.
She looks at Cryska and asks her.
Queen Phera-Do they still live Cryska?
Cryska looks back at Queen Phera and says.
Cryska-Give me a moment.
Queen Phera-Of course.
Cryska looks upward and her eyes turn into two powerful bright glows, no one says anything as she uses her powers to sense the life forces of the Power Rangers. Suddenly Cryska's body starts to slightly shake and so does her voice when she says.
Cryska-They are within her void, deep within it but alive at least spiritually.
Queen Phera-Can we pull them out of her void?
Cryska-I'm not sure, Bansheeva's power is holding them in and its incredibly strong!
Lyn Diana-I still cannot understand how she can still be so extremely powerful!
Azmodeus-I believe I know the answer to that.
They all look at him as he continues to say.
Azmodeus-Bansheeva still possesses her celestial life force along with her ancient powerful qualities.
Queen Phera-What? Her celestial life force should of abandoned her long ago and she should of also lost her powerful qualities when we banished her from this universe!
Azmodeus-Yes, ordinarily, we all know that it is written in our great book of light that the celestial life forces we all have within us as deity's is supposed to abandon its carrier once that carrier chooses the side of evil but some how she still has hers.
Queen Phera-So then that is why the attacks the Power Rangers have been using against her have proven to be nothing more than useless. Our hopes of her final destruction are no more now.
Lyn Diana-Then we must banish her again as quickly as possible before she regains her strength!
Queen Phera-That is all we can do and I for one am not satisfied with that!
Lyn Diana-You must accept it Phera for it is the only option.
Queen Phera-She will just break out again and return to this universe to continue her evil. She won't stop and it looks like as of now she cannot be stopped!
Lyn Diana-Then what can we do?
Queen Phera-Perhaps the book of light has an answer.
Speaking out against what everyone is thinking, Cryska says.
Cryska-Maybe we should reach out to her.
Lyn Diana and Phera both look at Cryska with shocked looks.
Lyn Diana-Reach out to her?
Cryska-Yes.
Queen Phera-A waste of time.
Cryska-Why?
Queen Phera-Because we have done all we could to help her in the past and she didn't want it.
Cryska-Perhaps if we let her know that she is still loved.
Lyn Diana-We tried many times before to help her and all of our attempts failed. She wants nothing else to do but to destroy and conquer.
Cryska-That doesn't mean we give up on her!
Lyn Diana-We had no choice but to do just that!
Cryska-Then that defeats our purpose doesn't it?
Queen Phera-What do you mean?
Cryska-I mean we are supposed to give light and hope to anyone and anything that the darkness has overcome. But abandoning even the slightest bit of assistance really defeats our purpose.
Lyn Diana-You know Cryska we have already tried to help her!
Cryska-I know but I still believe there is a part of her that we can reach, a part of her that is still good!
Lyn Diana-What is the point of trying if she doesn't want our help in the first place?
Cryska-The point is wanting our help or not is irrelevant when all life is threatened by her evil, I say we simply intervene and give her the help that is so desperately needed!
Lyn Diana-I understand Cryska why you are wanting to try to help her again but it will all come down to just banishing her from our universe again because she doesn't want our help in returning her to her once beautiful grace.
Cryska-Well you and the rest of the gods and goddesses can do what you wish in this situation I however am choosing not to join you!
Lyn Diana-Cryska, no, we need everyone's powers to..
Queen Phera interrupts.
Queen Phera-How can you think of such a thing right now Cryska when you know she has literally destroyed all of the Power Rangers and is now preparing to bring forth the graveyard of despair to forever bind their souls to her along with the ones she will get through her blood witch sorcery?
Cryska-I still feel we can help her Phera.
Queen Phera-She is too far gone!
Cryska-No she isn't! Why can't you see what I see?!
Queen Phera-Because our war with Bansheeva has been going on for too long. We have spent centuries trying, centuries and nothing worked except for banishing her!
Cryska-Banishing her was a mistake we all made!
Queen Phera-A mistake? She is the most powerful evil threatening all existences!
Cryska-I understand that but it still doesn't mean we cannot try to help her again.
Queen Phera-It is useless so I won't allow it, in fact I forbid it!
Cryska-Forbid it? You have no heart Phera I can see that clearly now!
Queen Phera-How dare you accuse me of such a thing! My heart goes out to all those Bansheeva already destroyed and all those who suffered at her evil hand, I have plenty of heart!
Cryska-Then why not open it a bit more to try to help Bansheeva.
Queen Phera-I already told you, it is useless, as long as she is the way she is now she will never accept our help.
Cryska-Well like I said before you and the others can do what you want but I will not be apart of it this time.
Lyn Diana-But you must Cryska, all of our powers combined will be needed to banish her…
Cryska interrupts her and says in a most seriously stone-faced tone.
Cryska-I said no, I refuse!
Queen Phera-You cannot refuse when all life in this universe is threatened by her!
Cryska-I very well can refuse so listen to what I am about to say and listen clearly. I will not use my powers against mother again!
Her body shines brightly and thunderously disappears, but she continues to say in the winds.
Cryska-And there is nothing you or the others can say that will change my mind!
Lyn Diana-So it seems as if we have another dilemma at our hands.
Queen Phera-Cryska will see things our way again soon enough.
Lyn Diana-How can you be so sure about that?
Queen Phera-Because it is what I believe, once she realizes that Bansheeva is nothing more than a pure evil threat to us all she must come back to her senses.
Lyn Diana-We shall see.
Into the past we go in the land of Cawdor where peace is greatly felt. Myndor wearing a blue wizard's robe within his very own large castle in a room where he is trying out a new spell with the guidance of his magic cauldron hears the startling news about the Power Rangers.
Myndor-What?!
Kastra wearing a purple and white sorceresses gown reassures him of what she just told him.
Kastra-It is true Myndor.
Myndor-Bansheeva, evil?
Kastra-Very evil and she has completely destroyed the Power Rangers.
Myndor-No that can't be. She is good, the ultimate good.
Kastra-Apparently that has changed.
Myndor-How?
Kastra-I do not know, I just know she attacked and defeated all of the Power Rangers, including their friends who gained powers from the Rangers storm cells.
Myndor-This is very hard to process. Their powers must of saved them!
Kastra-I'm afraid not.
Myndor-This is extremely unexpected news and unbelievable, Bansheeva she is the mother of..
Kastra interrupts him.
Kastra-Yes I know Myndor.
Myndor-How did you learn of this?
Kastra's eyes glow bright, she raises her right hand palm side up and says.
Kastra-Star light star bright.
Suddenly a magical bright light appears and starts swirling in the palm of her hand, she continues.
Kastra-Come forth Lightwing into sight!
Lightwing appears laying down in the palm of Kastra's hand.
Myndor-Lightwing my friend, are you all right?
Lightwing-Yes, but I am weak, it took a large amount of my power to get back here. I came here to tell you that Bansheeva has destroyed all of the Power Rangers and she is attempting to gain the power to rule all of the universes!
Myndor-This is still news that needs processing.
Kastra-Just rest now Lightwing and regain your strength.
Lightwing-Thank you.
Lightwing disappears to rest.
Myndor-I just can't believe this.
Kastra-It is true Myndor, I have looked into the future and saw myself.
Myndor-Then we will ask the Wizard's Pool for a solution to this. Perhaps we can go to a time before Bansheeva attacks the Power Rangers.
Kastra-That is a good idea.
Myndor-Come, we haven't a moment to lose.
Kastra-Of course.
They both walk through the corridors of the castle till they reach a room where the wizard's pool is being kept.
Wizard's Pool-We know what is happening in the future.
Myndor-Is there anything we can do to save the Rangers?
Wizard's Pool-The Power Rangers are within Bansheeva's void, our power alone is not enough to enter such a place.
Kastra-Really?
Wizard's Pool-That is correct, Bansheeva is very powerful so even traveling to a time before she launched her assault against the Rangers would prove to be useless.
Myndor-Why?
Wizard's Pool-She is an ancient deity that still has all of qualities and abilities except for her true powers, she is older than time itself and her being very powerful she can exist outside of time meaning the effects of time have no power over her. So regardless how many times you try to use that tactic against her it will not succeed.
Myndor-I see, well that makes sense.
Kastra-Oh my she is quite scary.
Myndor-I never would of thought she…
Kastra interrupts him due to her worry.
Kastra-Wizard's Pool what do you suggest we do?
Wizard's Pool -We can give additional power to create new Power Rangers.
Kastra-New Power Rangers?
Wizard's Pool-Two new Power Rangers.
Myndor-This is good news if they can defeat Bansheeva.
Wizard's Pool-All they can do is try Myndor, the power we give them originates from the sun and the moon with the spirits of the Fox and the Sphinx. They will become the Silver Moon Fox Star Force Power Ranger and the Gold Sun Sphinx Star Force Power Ranger.
Kastra-But who will take those powers?
Wizard's Pool-We shall leave that task up to you two but remember time is of the essence because Bansheeva has already set up her base and is readying to make her next move.
Myndor-We understand.
Wizard's Pool-We shall prepare the powers to be taken in by two humans you deem worthy of such a task.
Myndor-Thank you.
Meanwhile back in the realm of the eternal shine, Cryska has calmed down a bit although she is pacing back and forth in her chambers contemplating on whether to attempt to contact Bansheeva or not through powerful telepathy. She finally decides to do so. She raises her head and looks up above while both of her eyes turn into a bright white shines of immense energy and the power from just that begins to radiate all throughout the universe. She speaks as her power works.
Cryska-Mother can you hear me?
She gets no response. So she uses her power even more to increase the range across the entire universe.
Cryska-Mother please speak to me, can you hear me?
She suddenly gets a very raspy tone response.
Bansheeva-Yes Cryska I can hear you my child. To what do I owe this most welcome and unexpected visit?
Cryska-It is so wonderful to get your response, I want you to know that I want to help you.
Bansheeva-Help me?
Cryska-Yes, I want to help you return your grace.
Bansheeva chuckles. Cryska continues on.
Cryska-I mean that mother.
Bansheeva-What makes you think I want to return to my grace?
Cryska-Well I thought you would listen to me and leave the evil you have within you. And free the Power Rangers.
Seizing on the moment, Bansheeva uses the opportunity to suggest.
Bansheeva-I see, well my child you could very well help me and the Power Rangers at the same time.
Cryska-How?
Bansheeva-Return my true powers to me.
Slightly shocked and really not knowing what to do, Cryska becomes worried if she were to return Bansheeva's true powers to her. She says.
Cryska-I..I'm not sure I can do that mother.
Bansheeva-Of course you can my child, simply return my true powers to me and all will be right.
Cryska-But.. I know Phera and Lyn Diana will greatly object if I were to do that.
Bansheeva-They will learn to see things my way once it is done.
Cryska-I really truly want to help you mother but I fear…
Bansheeva interrupts her.
Bansheeva-You were always my favorite out of all my children. I know if there is anyone I can count on to help me it is you even though you were apart of those who opposed me, stripped me of my true powers and banished me to a world of complete darkness. Return them to me Cryska and all shall be forgiven.
Cryska-I have to think about doing that mother I must.
Bansheeva-Of course my child I can already sense your resistance to banish me again and that is most comforting but know this, time is of the essence because I plan to sacrifice many on the planet earth which in turn will power the spirits of all hallow's eve that will grant me the ability to summon the graveyard of despair!
Cryska-May I ask why?
Bansheeva-Granted, because I want my true powers back to restore all that was taken from me.
Cryska-Mother we love you, we want to help you conquer the evil that has taken over you.
Bansheeva-Somehow I find that very difficult to believe my child not from you, but from Phera and Lyn Diana.
Cryska-It is true they don't feel exactly as I do in this but I can convince them.
Bansheeva-Don't waste your time Cryska on that, just think about returning my powers to me, but you must make a decision very soon, all hallow's eve will not wait.
Cryska-If I return your powers to you mother will you stop your evil plans?
Bansheeva-Of course my child!
Cryska-But what of the evil that has taken over you?
Bansheeva-It will be eradicated.
Cryska-Really?
Bansheeva-Yes. Make a decision very soon, if you decide to return my powers it will stop all I have in motion now to bring forth the graveyard of despair.
Cryska-I understand.
Bansheeva-Excellent my child, excellent.
Bansheeva chuckles slightly as her voice fades away when the communication is cut off.
Back into the past, in his castle home Myndor decides on who he thinks should have the Silver Moon Fox and the Gold Sun Sphinx Powers.
Myndor-I've got it!
Kastra-What is it Myndor?
Myndor-The perfect two to take the new powers the Wizard's Pool will soon reveal.
Kastra-I think I know who you are speaking of.
Myndor-Of course, who else would be better choices other than Joshua and Michael?
Kastra-Exactly the two I was thinking of.
Myndor-Yes, I just hope they will make it much easier at accepting the powers than they were the first time around.
Kastra-I don't think they will be difficult Myndor, after all they were power rangers so they will have a great understanding on how much they are needed again.
Myndor-Thank you Kastra, you have silenced the doubts in my mind.
Kastra smiles and a bright white light appears in the center of the room and forms into Lightwing.
Kastra-Lightwing, you are rested.
Lightwing-Yes, I feel a bit better now.
Myndor-That is wonderful news my old friend.
Kastra-We have some wonderful news for you as well.
Lightwing-What is it?
Myndor-Well, the expression is very old so I am sure you have heard of it..
Kastra interrupts him by saying.
Kastra-What he means is through every cloud there is a silver lining but this time both a silver and a gold lining.
Lightwing-You mean you have found a solution to defeating Bansheeva?
Myndor-We hope we have.
Lightwing-Please explain.
Myndor-The Wizard's Pool is creating two new power ranger powers.
Lightwing-I see, and those powers will be strong enough?
Kastra-Strong enough to hopefully tip the advantage back to the good side.
Lightwing-Ok, I also will help them. I will do everything I can to stop that evil witch.
Kastra-I think now would be a good time to summon Joshua and Michael.
Myndor-That is fine Kastra, the sooner they find out that they are needed the sooner we can get started after the Wizard's Pool finishes with their new powers.
Lightwing-I am a bit concerned.
Myndor-As are we.
Lightwing-My concern lies with the two new soon to be Power Rangers. Exactly twelve Power Rangers attacked Bansheeva and she defeated them all at once. How can we believe that two will be enough now?
Kastra-That is a very good question.
Myndor-We are not completely sure but the powers the two will receive are going to be enormously strong.
Kastra-Yes, the silver and gold powers originate from the forces and powers of the moon and the sun, both combined will be extraordinary.
Lightwing-So then they might just be able to defeat Bansheeva and her followers?
Myndor-Yes, that is the hope Lightwing.
Kastra-And perhaps we can assist them as well Myndor with our own powers.
Myndor-I was thinking the same thing too.
Lightwing-It now sounds good to me, with us three helping the two new Power Rangers, we just might be able to defeat Bansheeva once and for all.
Kastra-I hope that will be so, I feel so sorry for the Rangers she captured within her void.
Myndor-So do I.
Lightwing-I hope the Wizard's Pool finishes creating the new powers very soon.
Back to the realm of the eternal shine, Queen Phera makes a very vague and unwanted suggestion.
Queen Phera-I really don't want to mention this but I don't think there is any other way around it but there is one final hope.
Lyn Diana-You don't mean?
Queen Phera-Yes, I'm afraid I do.
Lyn Diana-No, Phera!
Queen Phera-We have no choice.
Lyn Diana-I do agree with you Phera but we know that contacting such a grand power will lead to consequences.
Queen Phera-What other choice do we have?
Lyn Diana-None but all I am saying is think more on it.
Queen Phera-Thinking is all we have been doing and nothing more is developed on getting rid of Bansheeva except for banishing her! She is the only one that can stop Bansheeva permanently.
Lyn Diana-Yes she is more powerful than all of us.
Queen Phera-Which is why we need her assistance. She is the only one that can get the Power Rangers out of Bansheeva's void without any more problems developing. We have run out of options!
Lyn Diana-I know but there is no telling she will do as we ask.
Queen Phera-I know and I do not want to think about that but I do realize if she disagrees with us then there is no telling what will happen.
Lyn Diana-This is most worrisome, first Cryska abandons us and now this.
Queen Phera-We must act fast.
Lyn Diana-Phera, although the situation is dire but I plead with you, think on it!
Queen Phera-We don't have time to think anymore.
Lyn Diana-Then just make time enough for it!
Queen Phera sighs.
Queen Phera-I suppose I should. Nevertheless her power is greatly needed.
Lyn Diana-Agreed.
