Episode 2 "The Pendants Of Eltar"
Rad was walking in an ally, away from the rest of the world. The scenery was comforting to him, as that was what he was accustomed to. He looked around at his surroundings as he meditated.
"I guess there is no other way. Zordon, how do I get the lost pendants of Eltar?"
Zordon's ever-present spirit spoke to Rad, "The coins were hidden long ago, after an interdimensional war. You must travel to Eltar, and enter the base of the Mountain of Triumph. Once inside, you must overcome many obstacles, to prove that you are worthy to hold the pendants. The 4 pendants are sealed inside a box, that can only be opened by a Divine Power."
"But the power abandoned me."
"No, the power is testing you. It will see you to Eltar and insure your safety."
With that, the Divine Ranger power coin appeared floating in mid air. Rad reached for it, and though it was less than an arm-reach away, he still couldn't grasp it. The coin shot out a white light, and a transparent glowing figure of the Divine Ranger Helmet built itself out of thin air. Then a white light swept down from the helmet to reveal the rest of the body.
"The Divine Ranger's spirit will be with you, on your mission, Zordon said." "Now prepare to teleport to Eltar."
The Divine Ranger's Spirit of light energy stretched into Rad, and they both turned into a white light teleporting to the sky.
"Rage, I have released the power of the Sword Of Despair." Decepta said. "You know what to do with it."
"Yes, this will make me stronger than that Divine Ranger. Thank you my queen."
"I detect a disturbance in the Morphing Grid. He must be going to Eltar to get the Eltarian Force Pendants."
"I won't allow him to do so," Rage grunted. If he retrieves them then our plan will be ruined."
"Well, what are you waiting on, get your sorry carcass down there and stop him."
The white light came flying into a grassy field near a tree, and a river. The sky was pale, but the ground was well lit. The teleportation light disappeared, and the Divine Ranger spirit, bolted back to the side almost in reverse of when it started teleporting.
Rad slowly looked around inspecting his surroundings. It was a quiet peaceful place, with no inhabitants. He looked to his right and found a mountain. He looked to the spirit of the Divine Ranger. It silently started walking toward the mountain.
Rad followed, closely, not wanting to be left behind.
"Ahhh, Divine Ranger, I've got you!" Rage roared.
Rad looked around, and found himself defenseless. The Divine Ranger Spirit silently started charging Rage. The being of good ran at a superhuman pace, and flashed into light right through Rage. Rage flew backwards, and landed on his back. He got back up and looked at the Divine Ranger Spirit.
"I will beat you; Sword Of Despair!" Rage called. The Sword appeared out of nowhere, and was charged with dark energy. He fired the dark energy at the Divine Ranger Spirit. It blasted him back, a few feet, but eventually, he reflected the blast. It went back toward Rage who extended his sword, and absorbed the dark power. "Ha Ha Ha"
The Divine Staff appeared in the Divine Ranger's hand. He charged toward Rage, and was occupied in a sword/staff fight. With every swing of the sword and staff, both dark and good energy shot out of their respective weapons.
Meanwhile, Rad decided that he had better get the pendants. He ran into an opening at the base of the mountain. Almost 5 feet in, he stopped short, as he just about run off of a ledge into a hole.
"Whoa, I forgot, Zordon said something about some obstacles."
Rad looked around and found a ledge on the side of the wall that was barely big enough to fit a shoe. Rad walked over to the edge, and walked across the narrow ledge.
"Easy enough."
Rad looked around and started heading in the direction opposite of the way he came in. He looked around some more, and continued on.
The Divine Ranger and Rage were still in an epic sword and staff fight. They were evenly matched. Neither one could get a hit through on the other.
Rad was now further in the cave at a dead end. He leaned against the wall, and it budged. He turned around and the wall started moving back toward him. He turned around and realized the other wall was moving toward him as well. He couldn't get back the way he came, because the ground started dropping out from under him. Rad looked up, and noticed a small crawl space above one of the walls. He let the walls get about the length of his body apart, and he extended his arms and legs and pushed on the opposite walls, allowing himself to scale the wall. As the wall closed, his body started turning more in a vertical direction. Once he was high enough, he grabbed on to the ledge and quickly rolled in. He lay in the crawlspace for a few seconds as the walls finished closing in. Once the walls stopped, he let out a sigh of relief. He then started crawling on his back further into the cave. Once he found a safe place he rolled out.
Rage and the Divine Ranger Spirit were still battling. They stepped back from each other, and Rage shot a blast of dark energy with the Sword Of Despair. The Divine Ranger blocked the blast with his own blast of good energy.
Rad looked ahead, and could see what looks like a dim spotlight of multiple colors shining down through some fog, on a wooden box. It was sitting on a pedestal in a completely dark room. Rad walked toward the pedestal, but as he did, it just seemed to be getting farther away. He couldn't reach it. Rad walked turned around and walked the opposite direction, and when he did, the pedestal moved closer to him. When the pedestal was right behind him, he turned around, and tried to grab it, but the pedestal was still behind him.
"What is this place?" Rad asked as if there was a master being watching over this like a game.
He turned around again and tried to grab the box, but it was again behind him.
Rad stood there, and thought for a while. He said aloud, "I gotta have faith, seeing isn't always believing."
With that, he reached his left hand behind him, and grabbed the box. He pulled it around in front of him. He tried to open it, but it was sealed.
The Spirit of the Divine Ranger was in a stare down with Rage.
"Give it up, you'll never defeat me," Rage smirked.
With that the Divine Ranger turned into a beam of light and shot through Rage, slightly stunning him and then the beam shot into the cave. The beam of light consumed Rad, and he became the Divine Ranger. He summoned the Divine Staff. Which let him open the wooden box.
Inside was a black velvet holder that could hold 5 pendants. There was a colored marking of each pendant above its placeholder. Each pendant looked essentially the same, a long cylindrical shaped crystal with a gold ring around the top, and a loop to put it on a necklace or key chain. There were 4 pendants in the box: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. The placeholder for the black pendant was empty.
Rad looked around and realized that Rage was probably on his way inside, so he decided to teleport back to earth. The White energy consumed him and he bolted out of the cave and back through space on his way back to earth.
