Author's Note: Yup, the long awaited chapter two of the Legacy of Dragonzord is here!
The sounds of sparring, the latest pop music and the just the general clammer of students chatting away was heard as Drake and Jessica grinned at each other, sipping away at the fruit smoothie they were sharing. Across the room, Ike was sparring with one of his classmates, the classmate mostly being forced onto the defensive due to Ike being so quick with his offense.
Tommy chuckled a little bit as he stepped into the juice bar, glancing around as the obvious memories from back when his friends and him hung out at that very bar years back. The former green ranger quickly composed himself again as Jim stepped up beside him, the two nodding at each other before walking over towards the bar. The two bar tenders stopped what they were doing as they saw Tommy, quickly rushing out from behind the bar and tripping over each other to fall right in front of Tommy. "Bulk? Skull?" The first green ranger asked in clear surprise at seeing his old classmates there.
"Got that right, Tommy boy. I'm surprised you remembered us." Bulk grinned as he said that, but that grin was quickly put out from the mock-cold glare that Tommy gave him.
"Well, considering that you did give me the phone after I had specifically told you to leave me be..." Bulk smiled innocently and got up to his feet, Jim squatting down as he noticed that Skull wasn't getting up.
"Ah man, Skull's out cold." Jim said, shaking his head before helping the scrawny kid up to his feet and dragging him behind the bar, dropping him there rather roughly. Tommy shook his head before returning his attention to Bulk.
"Do you know where Drake and his friends are at?" The veteran ranger of their group asked Bulk.
"Yeah, they're right over there." Bulk swung his hand out to point, but ended up whacking a random person in the back of the head. The customer, growling in obvious anger, turned around and dumped their drink over Bulk's head before kicking him in the shin and then promptly walking out.
"Ah, just like old times." Tommy said with a shake of the head before turning and heading off in the direction off Drake and Jessica, a smile creeping onto his face as he saw the two staring into each other. 'Kind of reminds me of Kimberly and me...' He thought quietly to himself as he saw that they were only replying to each other through giggles. Deciding to leave them be, he turned his attention to Ike, who was winning match after match with his classmate, Ike's agility really helping him out as he danced around his classmate. Just as Tommy was about to start walking over towards Ike, however, the ground suddenly started to shake, causing the lights in the juice bar to go out. This was followed by the sky quickly turning dark, making it so that the darkness in the juice bar was absolute.
Just barely able to see each other, Drake nodded to Ike, then Tommy and his father and finally Jessica. Gathering up near the door, Tommy placed a hand on Drake's shoulder, looking him in the eyes. "You're sure that you're ready for this, Drake?" He asked the boy, keeping his voice low so that noone else in the juice bar would hear them and ask what they were talking about.
"Someone has to stop these guys, right? The powers aren't faltering for me like they were for you back when you had them, Tommy. Let's go" Tommy reluctantly nodded after hearing this from Drake, the group of them running outside. Out on the street, they glanced around before Jessica finally pointed down the street, Drake letting out a growl of annoyance when he saw Lord Zedd and Rita standing at the end of the block.
"The world belongs to us now!" Lord Zedd's deep and raspy voice boomed from within his voice mask, the red-clad figure following his boast with raising his staff, causing a bolt of lightning to blast from his staff and shoot into the sky, a clear show of power.
"You can't stop us now!" Rita's high pitched voice shouted this directly after Zedd's show of power, the witch following it up with a cackle that caused Jessica to minorly shiver, the tone of the laugh obviously not settling well with her.
"C'mon, Rita, Zedd, who're you kidding? We'll stop you everytime you try and take over." Tommy said, stepping forward as he pulled his morpher out, running his thumb lightly over the activation button, but not pressing it down yet.
"Just like we stopped the gold monkey and the skeleton, we will stop you!" Ike said as he stepped forward, the look of determination in his eyes clearly showing that he was ready to fight them, powers or no powers.
"As long as we exist, you will never stand a chance of conquering our planet!" Jessica said as she stepped forward, dropping down into a defensive posture...but let out a slight eep of surprise as Ninjor dropping down in front of them, a morpher in each hand.
"Ike, Jessica! These are for you!" The blue, blocky ninja said before tossing the pair of morphers to their respective owners. Turning around in mid-air, Ninjor pulled out his sword and stepped forward, stepping into a defensive posture of his own. "Quickly, rangers; Morph!"
Drake nodded at Ninjor before pulling out his own morpher, everyone striking their respective stances for their morph. "IT'S MOPRHIN' TIME!" They shouted in unison, pressing the activation switches on their morphers.
With a giant explosion, the energy from each respective morpher flowed into it's respective owner, the smoke disssipating after about ten seconds to show each ranger standing there. Each suit glinted lightly in the darkness of the city, the group standing there for a few seconds before charging forward, Drake leading the way as he drew the Dragon Dagger. Ninjor swung his blade once before Jim drew his own, the two nodding at each other before sprinting across the street, leaping through the air and swinging their blades down. Their blades didn't meet Rita, though, instead slamming directly into her staff. "Is that all you have, Power Pukes?"
"HELL NO!"
Ike's voice preceeded him, the young man flying right over Ninjor and Jim to land beside Rita, where he promptly slashed her. In a storm of sparks, the space witch flew back. Rita was given no room to breath, though, as Ninjor and Jim quickly rushed her, their blades raised in a way that obviously suggested that they were going in for the kill.
When they had been going after Rita, Drake had gone right after Lord Zedd with Tommy at his side. Drake swung his dagger around, attempting to get past Zedd's staff, but the red emperor caught the tip of the dagger with the Z on his staff, forcing it down. Just as it looked like Zedd was about to disarm Drake, Tommy rolled around behind Zedd, bringing Saba up to slash straight up the piece of armor that protected Zedd's spinal column. With a roar of anger and a storm of sparks, Zedd leapt over Drake and turned around, letting out a blast of dark energy that originated through his visor. The green ranger, seeing where Zedd was aimming, sprinted across the battlefield, throwing himself into Jessica and knocking them obth out of the way.
It appeared Drake had just delayed the inevitable as another blast was shot at them. Having no time to dodge out of the way out of the way, the boy hugged Jessica to him, his back to the blast with his entire body blocking her from harm's way. "I won't let it kill the both of us!" He shouted, tilting his head downward so that his helmet covered her's.
Just as it looked like the blast was about to hit, a red, black, blue, yellow and pink light flashed through the air, hitting the blast and causing another huge cloud of smoke to engulf the battlefield. When the smoke cleared, it revealed five multi-colored suites to be standing in front of Drake and Jessica. "I can't believe you started without us, Tommy." The voice from the red suit casually said, the white ranger not able to recognize them until he stepped forward, a grin going unseen behind his helmet as he recognized the suites.
"Jason?"
"The one and only." The first red ranger replied, a chuckle evident in his voice.
"Don't forget the only person with a sense of humor in the group." The black suit said, the voice and humor clearly revealing it as Zack, the first black ranger.
"Try not to exclude me, either." The voice from the blue ranger rang out, the timidity, yet also depth of the voice, revealing it to clearly be Billy, the first blue ranger.
"Don't forget me!" The slightly accented voice from the yellow voice said in a slightly raised voice, Tommy's helmet snapping around to look at the suit as he realized it was Trini.
"If you forgot me, Tommy, you know I'll be kicking your butt after this fight!" A slight 'eep' was heard from Tommy inside of his white ranger costume as he heard the pink suit's voice, instantly recognizing it as Kimberly.
"It...it can't be!" Lord Zedd said as he stepped back, holding his staff in front of him, the slight trembling in his voice indicating his disbelief at seeing the group of rangers. Rita stumbled up beside Zedd, leaning against him and panting a bit to show that she had taken quite a bit of damage. "How did you regain the ability to morph, Power pukes!"
"You didn't think Tommy's power coin was the only fixed, did you?" Jason replied as the group maneuvered together, Drake and Jessica standing at the point of the group. Each ranger raised their weapon up, the weapons lighting up from so much power being gathered together in one spot.
"Now let's finish this...ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Drake shouted, the group letting out a cheer of 'YEAH!' as they charged forward, weapons held in front of them.
