Episode 8 "Despair"

The rangers are sitting in the park talking.

Did you see how it blasted Decepta and then stood there, daring anything to attack. My Falconzord is gonna kick some major evil butt for sure.

"Yeah, well don't get too cocky, as I recall, you were the one laying there about to take a sword to your head," James said.

"Yeah, well you were all layin down on the job over there. How was I supposed to fare 4 on one?" Rad replied.

Everyone laughed.

"Well, the odds seem to be evening out in our favor now." Jeff said.

"Rage, the ranger's arsenal is still growing, we need something that will counter it."

"My queen, the Sword Of Despair, will boost your evil power. When combined with the ranger power, you will be unstoppable."

Decepta raises her hand and the Sword Of Despair appears. She then pulls out her micromorpher. "Dark Ranger Power!" After morphing, she order's a crunk to come in. She blasts the crunk with the Sword Of Despair, which transformed it into a Super Crunk. She then held it up, and let black energy come down, which formed armor over her suit. The armor had a backwards "E" to signify that her powers were twisted.

The Dark Ranger, Rage, the Super Crunk, and more crunks teleported to the park behind the other rangers.

"Aww man, not again," Brandon complained.

"Eltarian Force, Engage!" They all shouted.

Each ranger flashed their ranger color and were instantly morphed into the Power Rangers. Rad's helmet built itself around his head.

The 4 Eltarian Rangers went to work on Rage, and the crunks. Decepta, wielding the Sword Of Despair, walked toward Rad. She pulled out her power sword along with the Sword Of Despair. Rad only had his Devine Staff, so he made the best of it. Decepta was on an angered rampage. She didn't waste any time and just charged Rad. She swung both swords at the same time, and got a few good hits on him. She looked over and seen that the Rage and the crunks were keeping the other rangers busy, so now she could separate them. She called for the Dark Eltarian Zord.

The dark Zord walked into the fight again out of nowhere. This time it was clad with armor similar to the Dark Ranger's, and it held an identical Sword Of Despair, in proportion to the Zord.

"Ok guys, I gotta new Zord to test out, can you handle this down here?" Rad asked.

"Yeah, we got it." James said.

"Falconzord Power!"

The Falconzord came flying in like a bird. Rad jumped up to the sky and landed in the cockpit. "Alright convert to warrior mode!" the Falconzord stopped in mid air and did a back flip. In the process the wings folded behind the body and the tips of the wings folded forward into feet. The Falcon feet extended down onto the wing tips and a set of warrior arms came out of the sides of the body. The falcon head folded down to the front of the body revealing a warrior head.

The Falconzord hovered down to the ground in front of the Dark Zord. The Dark Zord fired energy blasts at the Falconzord. The blasts were deflected and sent toward the Dark Zord. The Falcon head came off the Zord and into the hand of it. The mouth opened and shot an energy blast toward the dark Zord, which absorbed the blasts. The Dark Zord then got up, and though slightly damaged, charged the Falconzord. The Dark Zord tackled the Falconzord into a giant (and empty) storage building.

"There's gonna be a lotta destruction, Falcon Mode!"

The Falconzord flipped again and took flight, away from the city. The Dark Zord followed. "Alright, warrior mode."

The Zords continued to fight. After awhile, Rad flipped back to Falcon Mode, and fired missiles from the wingtips. They homed in on the Dark Zord, but the force field generated by the Sword Of Despair, deflected them. They started homing back in on The Falconzord. Rad started doing Fighter Jet moves to avoid the missiles, causing them to time out and detonate in mid-air.

Back in warrior mode, the Falconzord landed in front of the Dark Zord. Decepta realized that the Zord's power was lowered.

"You haven't seen the last of me."

With that, she disappeared back to the space base.

Meanwhile the other rangers battled Rage, and the Crunks. The rangers kicked and blasted and before long they retreated. "We'll be back," Rage said as he teleported away.

Back at the Pizza Palace, the rangers are sitting, around a table. The owner of the store brings out a good-sized pizza for the heroes.

"Ahh, this looks good," Brandon said.

"Yeah," James agreed.

"Mmm, tasty," Jeff said.

They all laughed at Jeff's comment.

"Ya think this is enough?" Sam asked

"Not the way we eat," Rad replied.

Rad held up his glass, to the other rangers. "To a day's work, and a job well done."

"Cheers," Brandon said.

"Cheers," the others repeated in unison.
