Lit by glowing candles Scorpina watched as her team of rangers gathered. Her eyes found those of the hybrid ranger Drakkon as he seemed to glare knowingly into her own. She almost sees the gears turning in his mind as he bows to her hand gripping his dagger. At either side stood his most loyal of followers, his family. The new pterodactyl ranger and the silver phoenix rangers their dark ranger forms matching their patriarch. The bat demon, Vypra was watching her fellow rangers suspiciously as if any of them would attack them. The young ranger was focused on the Chamelion assistant of the Dai Shi as she stood behind him. The assistant on the other hand was unaware her gaze locked on the shadow behind her. Smirking she tapped her staff against the stone floor catching their attention. The mismatched group blinked in surprise their attention flashing to the scorpion witch.
"Now that I have your attention the time has come to begin the true plan." she laughed
"I thought fighting rangers with ranger powers was the plan." Vypra quipped
"Far from it, I have far bigger plans," Scorpina announced
As the words left her lips a golden glint came from the darkness behind her. Loud foots slowly growing became louder as a massive figure came into view. The hybrid ranger's eyes widened as a familiar griffon appeared before them with a smug grin. Lord Zedd's most loyal general stood large broad sword over his shoulder. His sword was different wider the edges of the blade looking as if made of a crimson flame that slowly turned gold. His armor was similarly colored with his wings draped over his shoulders like a cape. A strange power coin rested in the silver guard of his sword, it was a striking gold coin with the Zeo Gold symbol on it in pitch black.
"What is the name of Queen Bansheera, you claimed only Ninjor could craft Power coins!" Price Olympius yelled shooting up
"Not after I studied the ones Drakkon was kind enough to dring to us." Scorpina chuckled
"And your "Gold Ranger" what of him that beast died years ago or so they claim." Dai Shi snapped
"How Goldar his here is of none of your concern, Now that I have gathered the main spectrums of the grid we can begin." She announced
At the sound of a chaotic alarm, Billy looked up from his tinkering. Shifting his bespectacled gaze to the nearby laptop screen he stared in shock at the sight. All of the main ranger singles seemed to be flaring up before flicking to the point of nearly being fading completely. It seemed as if someone was leaching power from the grid itself. For the first time, he was at a loss for what to do.
"This has to be connected to that team of villain rangers we've been dealing with," Billy whispered
"Naw it's the Psycho Rangers punking us."
Looking up Billy found Cam and Kat Manx standing over his desk. He sat back looking up curiously at the fellow technicians as they studied him. The pair frowned as they took in his grim expression. They nodded in understanding each holding up a smartphone with the various charts and graphs from his grid screen. They too had access to the information he did and could easily see the trouble they were in. A quiet hum caught their attention as the light from the grid grew brighter.
"That can't be good," Cam said nervously
Lightning crashed as the evil ranger held out their Power Coins standing around a clay figure. Corresponding colored lights fired from their coins cloaking the clay golem in swirls of colors. As the monster absorbed its morphing energy details of a ranger form began to take shape. The helmet was like that of the Tyrannosaur with a set of three sharp horns. The visor was bright red wrapped with sharp jagged teeth and a slash over the right eye. The suit itself was slate gray with silver armor like that of the Zeo Gold ranger.
"It will take time for him to truly take shape," Scorpina announced
"Misstress I have just the thing you need," Finster5 stated from his workbench
Turning the cyborg craftsman grinned with pride holding up his latest project. In his hands, he held the small clay form of a humanoid dragon his monstrous face set in a wide smile. The creature had a spiked mace at the tip of its tail a pair of savage claws on its feet and hands. Every scale is crafted on the clay model along with the tongue inside the monster's mouth. The sorceress smirked nodding in approval of his latest creation. The monster artisan turned to his monster maker placing the creation inside.
"A simple creature but it should be a decent distraction," Finster5 announced
