Heart of the Tiger part III
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
- Jorge Luis Borges
Onderon
Inside the bunker, Vampira continued her search for Lux Bonteri to kill him. She killed more guards and Clone soldiers that stayed inside for protection. Too bad they stood no chance against her as she continues leaving bloodied bodies in her path as she drew closer to where Bonteri is hiding out. Once she kills him she'll kill the king as well, just to get rid of anymore symbols of hope for the people.
"Hold it right there!" one of the two guards shouted as they opened fire on Vampira.
Their attacks were useless though as Vampira healed from where she got shot. She lets out a small laugh before extending her nails and slashed the heads off the guards.
She receives a message from General Kalani as the droid general appears in hologram form. "Vampira, our forces have encountered the Republic forces. They have halt our advance and we've received word that reinforcement is arriving sooner than expected. I advise you or Kobura return to the battlefield to assist in wiping out the Republic forces before more arrive."
"Yeah, not going to happen," Vampira replied as she heads towards the location where Bonteri is at. "I've been given orders to kill the senator and that's what I'm going to do."
"Our orders are to take the planet, that is our priority," said General Kalani reminding her of what their goal is. "Now return to the battlefield or I will inform Count Dooku that you…"
One of Damien's robots appeared thrusting its and through the general's chest. It then grabs its head and rips it from the body destroying the droid general.
Vampira giggled when she saw this and is glad the robot destroyed Kalani. "Thank you, he was beginning to get on my last nerve. Now, pull back the others and let the Separatist droids handle the Republic. No need to waste our own forces on a planet that Master Damien has no interest in."
"Understood," said the robot before the hologram disappeared.
She approached the door noticing it is locked. "Aww how cute. The little mouse is hiding in his room," she lets out a small giggle as she begins scraping at the door with her sharp nail.
She then proceeded to make a low pitch and high pitch voice as she taunts at her prey. "Little boy, little boy, let me in. Not on the hair of my chinny chin, chin. Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow the door down."
She thrust her two hands through the door and split it open with ease. As she goes inside she notices no one is in the room. She could have sworn this is the room her informant told her Bonteri would be staying at.
Unless he's with the king. She thought as she decides to head off to find the king, but as soon as she stepped out of the room she is hit in the head with a blaster.
"I got her!" Saw shouted as he kept his gun at her.
Ahsoka and Saw arrived to the bunker a minute ago where they proceeded to check on the king. They found he is safe and so they followed Vampira's path of destruction where they spotted her coming out of a room.
"Got her right between the eyes," said Saw as Ahsoka walks up behind him with her lightsabers activated. "Now let's head back and get the power back on."
"No, it's not over yet," said Ahsoka as she gets into a battle stance. "She's still alive, I can feel it."
Before Saw could say anything, they see Vampira making her way back up laughing as the shot to the head has healed up.
"Nice shooting, too bad that's not enough to keep me down," she then recognizes the female Jedi and smiled evilly. "Well, well if it isn't the little girl that kept me from killing the Power Rangers. I was hoping we would meet again so I can return the favor by killing you."
Ahsoka kept calm and replied back. "Aww I'm touched you remember me. Maybe this time I'll slice your head off and kill you."
Vampira admired the guts of this girl, and made a note to see how her guts look like when she slices her open. "Last time you had the help of the Green Ranger to keep me from killing you, but since he is out because of what I did…" she begins grazing the wall with her sharp nail making a screeching sound. "There's nothing stopping me from tearing you apart."
She begins approaching her prey as Ahsoka and Saw back away. Ahsoka knows the only chance she has of weakening Vampira is with sunlight. Thankfully the sun is still out so if she can trick her by luring her out she'll be able to stop her. However, she can't risk anymore people getting hurt and will need to get Saw away.
"Saw, go find the king and keep him safe in case Vampira brought some backup."
"Not going to happen. I'm going to stay and fight her," said Saw as he cocks his weapon and opens fire.
Vampira dodges the blasters and charges at him so fast he couldn't see her. Ahsoka could and tackles Saw down as Vampira flew off into the darkness, cackling.
Ahsoka looks around to see Vampira is gone, and then turns her attention back to Saw. "Listen to me, I've fought Vampira before and I know how dangerous she is. I need you to find the king and keep him safe in case she brought more help."
Saw wanted to continue arguing, until they heard Vampira speaking to them in the shadows. "Am I to assume the king has Bonteri with him? If that's the case then perhaps I should pay them a visit since no one seems to want to keep an eye on them."
Saw sighed knowing he couldn't let Vampira harm the king or Bonteri, even if he doesn't like him. He knew his sister cared for Lux and would try to keep him safe.
"Fine, I'll go keep them safe, but just don't die."
Ahsoka nods in response as she lets Saw up allowing him to take off to find the king. She then reactivates her lightsabers and looks around using her training to find Vampira.
"All right, Vampira. We're alone now. If you want to try killing me, here I am. So come on out."
Vampira appeared behind Ahsoka and whispered towards her. "If you insist."
Ahsoka turns around, but is hit with a backhand slap from Vampira knocking her across the floor. She recovered and makes it back to her feet, but sees Vampira slowly approaching her as her nails scratch against the wall. She also begins walking side to side, with a creepy smile, and is singing in a scary tone.
"One two, I'm coming for you. Three, four better run and hide. Five, six beg and cry all night. Seven, eight pray for a quick death. Nine, ten gonna gut you open," Vampira stops moving and lunges at Ahsoka letting out a loud roar.
Onderon Highlands
Jake and Lux charge in at Kobura who blocks both their attacks with her weapons. She goes to use her tail, but Barriss tosses her dagger as they cut through the tail pinning it down. Rick returned and jabs his Power Lance to the side of Kobura causing her to yell out in pain. However, this seems to only infuriate her as breaks her tail free and swings it at the two Rangers.
She pulls the lance out and tosses it at Barriss getting slashed from it. Rick pulls out his Blade Blaster and opens fire as he heads towards Barriss.
"You okay?" Rick asked as Jake and Lux joined up with them.
"I'm fine, it's going to take more than that to keep me down," said Barriss as she hands Rick his weapon.
"Hope this plan of yours happens soon," said Jake noticing his friends are getting a little exhausted.
"Yeah, so what do we do now?" Lux asked.
"I agree," said Kobura who overheard what the Rangers said. "What are you going to do now? What else do you have left before I end up ending your lives?"
"You want to see what we have left? We'll show you, now Rachel!" Rick shouted.
Rachel opens fire from the tree she is hiding in. Taking aim she manages to fire an attack hitting right between the back of Kobura causing her to let out a loud scream. The Rangers saw their chance and took it. Rick and Barriss opened fire with their Blade Blasters at Kobura who blocks the attack with her shield.
Jake and Lux used this chance though as they charge in for an attack. Lux used his Power Ax to open fire behind, which has Kobura block the attack with her sword. Jake used this chance as he charges at Kobura with both his weapons charging up. He swings his Dragon Dagger first slashing the sword in-half and delivering some damage on Kobura, while he swings his Power Sword next taking the shield out and slashes across Kobura again.
Despite the injuries though Kobura was still standing so the Rangers attacked again hitting her with all their weapons. This time she went down and didn't get back up.
"All right, it worked!" Rick exclaimed as the Rangers all regrouped as they begin celebrating their victory.
"Good work on the plan, Rick," said Jake impressed with his friend's plan.
"It was a good plan, especially how it helped Rachel weaken her when we distracted Kobura," said Barriss as she congratulates both her friends.
"Thanks, but now we need to go help the others and find Vampira," said Rachel as they prepare to leave, they see Kobura pulling something out. "What is that?"
"Looks like a vial," said Lux, who is correct.
It is a vial filled with something dark inside. Kobura pulls the cork out and begins to laugh. "Vampira isn't here to help me get big, so she gave me this instead."
Kobura drinks from the vial as she begins to transform. The Rangers back away as Kobura grows into a giant monster, letting out a loud evil laugh. "Now let's see you little brats take me on like this."
The Power Rangers jump out of the way as Kobura brings her food down on them. Knowing they don't stand a chance like this they call out to their Zords.
They lift their hands into the air and called out in unison. "We need Dinozords Power, now!"
Five bright lights are shot from Endor and fly towards the planet. The lights land near the Rangers and out from the light comes five large animals that look machine-like. One was a large red colored Tyrannosaurus Rex. The other was a yellow colored Saber-tooth Tiger. The third is a blue colored Triceratops. The fourth is a black colored Mastodon. And the fifth is a red/white colored Pterodactyl.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex roars as its eyes flash with the other 4 Zords. The Triceratops and Saber-Tooth roar as their body's slowly come forwards turning into legs. The T-Rex Roars as its body comes attached to the legs while its head with an arm attached comes off and goes to the right side of the body to become the right arm. The Mastodon jumps and turns into the left arm.
The Pterodactyl screeches as it goes on the front of the body turning it into body armor. As it did that a Red head came out with yellow eyes and a silver mouth with two red horns come forward. The Megazord comes forward as a sword comes from the sky into the Megazords hand and the Mastodon head appears as a shield.
Kobura summons her sword and shield again, looking fixed. "Now let's finish this, Rangers."
Bunker
Ahsoka dodges the attack from Vampira and tries to lure her to the entrance where she hopes to trick her. It wasn't easy though as Vampira got closer and closer with her attacks. She knew she was playing with her since she knew how fast Vampira really is. The only reason she hasn't finished her off yet is because she wants to make her suffer and make her bleed before she finishes the fight.
Actually it didn't feel like a fight at all. It was Ahsoka running away and dodging all of her attacks that left only small cuts on her. This felt like a game of cat and mouse. With her as the mouse and Vampira as the cat playing with her food.
As Ahsoka turns the corner she sees Vampira standing at the end of the hall grazing both walls with her nails. Ahsoka began backing away, while also trying to find where else to run. Taking a quick look behind her sees she is being backed away towards a wall with nowhere else to run. There are some doors nearby, but she isn't sure if any one of them will lead her to an exit.
"Poor little mouse, have you run out of room to run?" Vampira asked in a mocking tone as she starts to pick up the pace.
Ahsoka decided to pick a door and runs in as Vampira charges at her. The door closes on her, but Vampira breaks it down. As soon as she does though Ahsoka uses the Force to send her flying out of the room into the door across from her. She then lifts a table nearby with the Force and as Vampira comes charging back in she is hit by the table that sends her through the door to the next room.
"Looks like this little mouse still has room to run," said Ahsoka returning favor and heads down the hallway.
She finds herself getting closer and closer to the exit, when Vampira breaks through the wall and tackles Ahsoka to the wall. She grabs her by the neck and then tosses her towards a wall at the end of the hall making a dent in it. Ahsoka begins coughing loudly as she tries to catch her breath and notices she is coughing blood. Looking over she sees her vision is a little blurry, while also hearing Vampira giggling.
"You surprised me before little Jedi, but this time I've got you," she charges at Ahsoka again, but she is hit once again by the Force as Ahsoka moves both her hands up to hit her with a strong Force Push.
It sends Vampira across the hall, but she landed on her feet and didn't look affected by the attack. Ahsoka used this to get to the entrance, but as she tries to open the door she sees it's not working.
"Oh dear, looks like someone jammed the door to keep the sunlight out," said Vampira in a sarcastic tone. "Who could have done such a thing?"
Ahsoka soon realized that Vampira knew what she was trying to do, but didn't try stopping her since she knew the door wouldn't work because she damaged it. She planned ahead making sure the sun won't stop her again.
"So, how do you want this to be the end for you? With me gutting you nice and slowly? Me ripping your throat out? Or if you want you can become my new slave," said Vampira giving Ahsoka her choices of what happens to her.
Ahsoka knew she doesn't have much left in her after getting hurt earlier, but she knew she can't give up. She has to keep on fighting no matter what. So she grabs her lightsabers and activates them. She turns around and gets into a fighting stance showing no fear in her eyes.
"How about I slice your head off and we end this?"
Vampira smiled when she sees this and knew this is going to be more fun. "All right, here we go."
Vampira charges at Ahsoka and swings her right hand at her. Ahsoka dodges the attack and going on the offense to slash Vampira off. Vampira dodges the attacks with ease and then grabs both of Ahsoka's wrists. Ahsoka jumps up though and using both her feet kicks Vampira square in the face actually breaking a fang. She punches her in the face, but found it had no effect.
Vampira looks at Ahsoka upset with what she did and punches her in the face knocking her down. She then grabs her by the shoulders and begins slamming her against the walls before tossing her against the floor. Vampira jumps up and tries to bring her feet down on her to crush her.
However, Ahsoka dodges the attack as the feet breaks through the ground. Ahsoka kicks Vampira in the gut and then once again in the face before kicking up. She runs at her and jumps around her before wrapping her right arm around Vampira's neck applying a sleeper hold. Vampira however jumps back against the wall slamming Ahsoka against it, then grabs her, and tosses her off her back.
Ahsoka grabs her lightsabers and swings them at Vampira, but again her wrists are caught by Vampira. This time Vampira moves her legs and wraps them around Ahsoka's neck to try choking her out. Ahsoka struggled to break free, but Vampira kept her grip tight on her. Ahsoka opens her mouth and bites against Vampira's leg as hard as she can causing her opponent to yell in pain.
Vampira breaks her grip on Ahsoka, who rolls away from her and begins coughing loudly. Vampira lets a low growl as she's had enough of playing these games. She grabs her by the neck with one hand and slams her against the wall. Ahsoka tries to break free, but found her strength is all gone.
"That's it. I've had enough of you. I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me you little bitch. Say goodbye," she opens her mouth revealing her sharp teeth as she goes to bite her, when she is shot in the back by Saw. Turning around she sees who just shot her and growled angrily. "How dare you shoot me in the back?!"
Saw left the king's side earlier after hearing all the loud commission coming from the bunker and he asked to leave to help her. King Ramsis agreed to let him go and go help her.
"Leave her alone and pick on someone your own size," he said as he takes aim again.
Vampira drops Ahsoka and suddenly appears behind Saw. She backhands him sending him flying towards the door denting it. She thrusts two sharp nail through Saw's shoulders causing him to yell out in pain. She knees him in the gut, followed by a head-butt knocking him.
She leans forward to lick some of the blood off his forehead. "Hmm, not bad. I'm going to enjoy killing you right in front of your friend."
Ahsoka sees this and struggles to get up. She couldn't let Saw be killed, not after failing to save his sister. Get up, Ahsoka. You can't let her do this. You can't fail to save someone again. Get up and fight!
Vampira goes to bite Saw, when she sees Ahsoka has made her way back to her feet. However, she wasn't worried when she saw the girl's legs struggled to stay up.
"Aww, do you want to continue playing with me?" Vampira tosses Saw away and begins giggling. "Maybe you should ask your master for permission before you do. Oh wait, he's gone isn't he? Because you were too weak to save him and you are too weak to save this weak human. Give up, you've lost."
"I'm a Jedi Knight I will stop you." Ahsoka shouted
Vampira giggled "I know something you don't." She said in a sly manor.
"I don't care I…won't give…up!" Ahsoka summons a newfound strength as she sends Vampira against the wall with the Force Push.
It actually knocked the air out of Vampira as she tries shaking off the attack to go after Ahsoka. However, Ahsoka kept going as she uses the Force again slamming Vampira over, and over, and over, and over against the door causing it to come apart.
Vampira looks over shocked that this girl has some strength left in her, enough to do this to her. Staring at her she could see a white glowing aura flowing around the Jedi and what looks like an animal being formed around her as it growl at Vampira.
"I won't let you hurt anyone anymore!"
Vampira charges at Ahsoka, who uses all her strength to send her opponent through the door to the outside. Vampira is hit with the rays of the sun as she begins yelling out in pain. She struggles to get up, but the force of the attack and the sun has weakened her. She opens a portal and goes through it as she escapes.
Ahsoka makes her way out of the bunker helping Saw out. Once she is sure he is okay, her legs gave out and falls to the ground. That last attack took everything she had to have been able to beat Vampira. She doesn't know where that strength came from, but all that matters is she didn't fail and was able to save Saw.
"Master, wherever you are I hope you are proud…" Ahsoka soon begins to close her eyes as she passes out.
Endor
Zane entered in the room where the morphers are at as he decides to send backup to the Rangers. As he looks for the morpher to help them, he sees the seventh morpher begins to glow brightly. Zane looks on confused by what is going on wondering why the morpher is acting on its own. He sees its beginning to move as Zane begins to realize what is going on.
"Does this mean you have chosen her?" the morpher answered his question as it teleports out of the room, making him smile. "Alpha! Contact the Rangers. Backup is coming."
Onderon Highlands
The Megazord charges in swinging its sword at Kobura as their weapons collide against one another. They push the other back as Kobura swings her sword again, but it is blocked by the Mastodon shield. The Rangers use the shield to begin spraying an ice blast causing the slither snake to back away. They swing their sword, but it is caught by Kobura's tail, and she tosses their sword away.
She begins charging in with her attacks causing the Rangers to back away using their shield to block the attack. Kobura bashes in her attacks, until she uses her tail again and grabs their shield. Despite their best attempt, the Rangers lose their shield and Kobura kicks the Zord in the gut and delivers another right to the head causing the Megazord to stagger. She then uses her sword and slashes the Megazord causing it to fall to the ground.
"Guys, status report!" said Jake trying to see how much damage the Zord took.
"Shields going down and if we take anymore hit the Zord might suffer a repeat of what happened on Ryloth," said Barriss.
"Jake, can you call on the Dragonzord for backup?" Lux asked.
"Sure," Jake pulls out the Dragon Dagger. "Dragonzord Power!"
Jake moves the hilt of the dagger against his mouth and begins summoning the Dragonzord. On Almora, two red eyes begin to glow beneath the ocean as a bright green light is seen blasting out of the water. It heads towards Onderon where it lands in front of the Megazord. The Dragonzord appeared letting out a loud roar causing Kobura to back away intimidate by the arrival of the sixth Zord.
Jake turns towards Rick as he gets out of his seat. "Rick, you're in charge. I'm going to go get in the Dragonzord and fight from there."
"You got it," said Rick as Jake leaves the Megazord and heads to the Dragonzord. "Okay guys, let's get back on our feet."
As the Megazord begins to recover, Jake makes his way into the cockpit of the Dragonzord and is amazed that he is using his father's Zord for the first time. "Okay, Dragonzord. I know you and my dad worked together a lot, but I hope we can work together also. So let's work with our friends and take down this monster, okay?"
The Dragonzord responds with a loud roar as it charges at Kobura, who swings her sword at the Zord. The Dragonzord catches the sword, as the Megazord recover its weapons and attacks Kobura, who blocks the attack with her shield. However, both Zords pushed her back and the Megazord attacked again with both attacks being blocked by Kobura's weapons. However, this helped the Dragonzord fire it missiles at Kobura causing her to back away.
The tip of the tail begins to spin like a drill. The Dragonzord moves it against shield destroying it and allowing the Megazord to slash against Kobura. The Dragonzord charges at Kobura again, but then she spits something into the Zord's eyes causing it to go blind. Kobura uses this chance to swing her tail causing the Dragonzord down.
The Megazord tries to help its friend up, but Kobura grabs what is left of her shield and swings it at the Megazord knocking its shield out of the way. She charges at the Zord with her sword, but it is block by their sword. However, when they came face-to-face she blinds them like with the Dragonzord causing the Megazord to back away. She then slashes against the chest of the Megazord knocking it down landing next to the Dragonzord.
"Guys, you okay?" Jake asked trying to find a way to help the Dragonzord.
"Yeah, but it doesn't look good," said Rachel as they try to get the Megazord back on its feet.
"Any ideas?" Lux asked.
"Whatever we come up with it better be soon," said Barriss as they see Kobura approaching them slowly. "Before she decides to end this."
Meanwhile
Ahsoka opens her eyes finding herself in a dark room. "Where am I?" she asked herself.
She remembers fighting Vampira and saving Saw, but then passed out. Now she wakes up in a dark room with no memory of how she got here.
"What is this place?"
"A place that will be important to you," she turns around and sees a bright light turning on. Out from the shadows she is shocked to see the figure is Anakin. "Hello, Ahsoka."
"Anakin," she couldn't believe it. He's alive. Everyone thought he was dead, but here he is. "You're here. I knew it. A part of me knew you weren't gone. I can't believe you're really here."
Ahsoka is sitting on the step of the Jedi temple and is holding the white tiger morpher.
Anakin shook his head and replied back. "No Snips, I'm not."
"What do you mean?" she asked confused. "Of course you are here. Your…" she tried to grab his hand, but sees it went through making her realize he really isn't here, and he must be really gone.
Ahsoka lets out a small sigh before falling on her knees upset. "I'm so sorry. I tried to save you, but I couldn't. If I had accepted the offer from Zane earlier I would have been able to save you. Instead I failed you and I'm sorry."
Anakin kneels down in front of Ahsoka and tries to cheer her up. "It wasn't your fault. These things happen and there isn't anything we can do to change them, except try keeping moving forward."
"But how? Every time I tried saving people they keep ending up dead," Ahsoka shouted upset as she recalls everyone she couldn't save. "I wish I was stronger. I wish I had the strength to not lose any more lives and I wish I can stop death."
"You can't save everyone" Ahsoka turned around and sees Steela, as a spirit like Anakin. "Death has to happen. I know it's terrible, but it's true. What is horrible though is being responsible, which you are not. None of us blame you for what happened Ahsoka, and you don't need to carry this burden anymore."
"But Steela, if I hadn't gotten shot you would be alive," said Ahsoka still feeling guilt for what happened.
Steela smiles at Ahsoka and shook her head. "It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you for what happened and I'm glad at least you weren't killed otherwise we both would have died. I'm thankful for you saving my brother's life and keeping him safe. Thank you, Ahsoka and I'm sorry we didn't get along well when we first met."
Ahsoka feels her guilt for Steela's death be lifted, finding peace with what she said. "Thank you, but I wish I still had saved the ones I didn't save."
"As she said before our deaths is not because of you. So do not carry it," Master Piell appeared next to Steela. "Guilt is the one thing that will lead to more pain, suffering, and darkness. Something you do not need. So close your mind, let it go, and lift the burden."
"And think of the future," next to appear next to the deceased Jedi Master is, Kalifa who was killed by the Trandoshans.
"Kalifa? You're here too?" Ahsoka asked surprised to see the first person she failed to save is standing in front of her.
Kalifa nods in response and continues. "Ahsoka, you don't need to worry about what happened to us. What happened, happened and nothing can change that. We want you to live on and continue doing great things without our death being a burden on you. We will be here to help you so you can move on."
Piel nods in agreement. "Never give up, young one and continue fighting the evil that threatens the galaxy. We will be here with you all the way."
Steela approaches Ahsoka giving her a warm smile. "And you won't do it alone. You have us, your friends, and everyone that believes in you. So give those monsters one hell of a fight."
Anakin approaches Ahsoka too. "And remember never to give up, Snips. Now go help your friends and keep them safe. Cause you won't be just the white Ranger we will also be inorder to help you."
Ahsoka couldn't help but smile feeling the burden she has carried has now been lifted. She feels a small tear flowing down her cheek as she replies back. "Thank you all and I promise I won't give up, no matter what.
The four spirits soon disappeared as a bright light flashed before Ahsoka causing her to wake up. Looking around she sees she is outside the bunker and spots Saw nearby unconscious, but alive. Getting back to her feet she feels something in her right hand. Taking a look she sees it's the morpher she couldn't use.
"Does this mean you…accept me now?" she asked at the morpher noticing it flashing for a second giving her, her answer. She smiles happily as she holds the morpher close to her. "Thank you, thank you all."
She then remembers her friends are in trouble and decides to go help them. Looking back at her morpher she remembers her talk with her friends and how it feels like they are really here with her right now. She imagines seeing Steela, Piel, Kalifa, and Anakin placing their hands on the morpher showing she is not alone.
"The rebel, the teacher, the innocent, the knight, and…the tiger," she moves the morpher up and says the words that her friends all say along with the spirits that guided her they all said. "It's Morphin Time! Tigerzord!"
Ahsoka's body is covered in a bright light as she transforms into the White Ranger. The armor is the same as the other Rangers, except the helmet is motived for her lekku and headtails. She also has on her lightsabers and her sword, Saba in its holster. After the transformation finished she looks around to check out her Ranger armor and feels different.
"Wow, this feels weird and yet good at the same time," she begins receiving a message as she checks to see who it is. "Hello?"
"Ahsoka, is that you?" said Alpha speaking to Ahsoka through the communicator in her suit.
"Yeah it's me," Ahsoka replied still trying to get used to her new form.
"Glad to hear it. We were wondering what happened to the morpher when it teleported to Onderon," said Alpha happy that Ahsoka finally got the morpher.
"I was just as surprised as you when it came to me, but we can talk about that later. Right now the others are in trouble and I need to get to them," said Ahsoka not wanting to waste more time than she already has wasted.
"Oh right, they're out in the highlands fighting Kobura," said Alpha.
Ahsoka is shocked to hear that Kobura is not only alive, but is attacking her friends. "I thought she died after she killed…" she stops herself so she wouldn't get upset and let the dark thoughts creep back into her mind. "How are the others doing?"
"So far they're holding their own, but they are going to need your help," said Alpha watching as Kobura blocks the attacks of the Dino Megazord and the Dragonzord, then takes them down. "You'll need to summon your Zord to help them."
"How do I do that?" Ahsoka asked.
"Summon the Tigerzord by calling it out and it will arrive," Alpha replied.
Ahsoka nods and lifts her hand up and calls out to her Zord. "Tigerzord, power up!"
A bright white light is shot from Endor and flies towards Onderon as it lands in the mountains near where the Rangers are at. Ahsoka is teleported to the area where her Zord has been summoned.
The proud Zord stood tall. It had a white metal tiger head with a black mouth with red eyes with a golden head piece on top of its head.
The rest of the body was white metal with black stripes on the main body. The first two legs had two black machines on them with 3 red buttons on each while the lower part had white legs with golden claws.
The last two legs were simply white legs with black underneath them with golden claws the last feature was the tail of the Tigerzord that was the shape of a golden sword.
"Wow, so that's the Tigerzord. It's amazing," said Ahsoka impressed by how her Zord looks like, but then she notices the fighting is still going on and needs to go help her friends. "Okay, now what?"
"Jump up to the Zord and the rest will come instinctively," said Alpha.
Ahsoka nods understanding and jumps up to the head of her Zord surprising herself that she made her way all the way up to the Zord.
"I might get used to this now," Ahsoka looks around trying to figure out what to do, but then begins sensing something. It felt like it was coming from the Tigerzord itself, like it was speaking to her. "Well, Zane did say you guys have a mind of your own didn't he?"
The Tigerzord responds with a loud roar giving Ahsoka her answer. "All right, let's do it then. White Tigerzord, Tiger-mode, battle ready now!"
The Tigerzord lets out a loud roar and begins charging into the battle as Ahsoka held on. Kobura sees the Tigerzord surprised to see a new Zord coming in.
"Stay out of this, pussy cat!" She swings her tail at her, but the Tigerzord grabs it with its mouth and swings Kobura away towards the mountains crashing into them.
"Who is that?" Rachel asked wondering who came to help them.
"Is this the backup Zane spoke about?" Rick asked.
"It must be," said Jake hoping whoever it is will help them beat Kobura.
"Do you guys think its Ahsoka?" Lux asked wondering the same thing the others are thinking of too.
"I hope it is," said Barriss as she begins receiving a message from Alpha. "It is, Ahsoka. Alpha just contacted me saying Ahsoka is now the White Ranger."
"Yay!" Rachel exclaimed. "Now we'll be able to kick more ass than before."
"Agreed, if we can get back on our feet first," said Jake as he works on getting his Zord back up to help his friend.
Kobura recovered from the attack and growled angrily. Ahsoka noticed this and made her way inside her Zord.
When she got inside he saw a large green circle on the floor with yellow lines must be the navigation system to follow her movements. She saw on the back of the cockpit a White Tiger symbol similar to the one she had on her power coin.
There didn't seem to be any indication of controls but on the end of the room was a black computer system with 6 orange balls each with a Japanese symbol. Behind the balls was a hole with golden plating on looking that it was where she would put the balls in future battles.
In the middle of the balls was another but it was designed differently. Looking at it Ahsoka realizes this is where she needs to put her sword in.
"All right, Tigerzord, convert to Megazord-mode!"
She places her sword in the hole as the tiger statue on the sword gave a loud roar. The Tigerzord roared as its two back legs were lifting the rest of the body up. Then the first halve of the body started to go down till the Tigerzord's head was in the middle. The Golden claws bent down a little so they could become hands.
Then lastly on top of the Tigerzord a metal white head was coming out. The head had a White metal on it with two blue crystal eyes with a tiny third blue crystal on the forehead while the lower halve of the head had a metal but yet human like mouth.
"Tigerzord, power up!"
Kobura sees the Tigerzord finished its transformation and charges at it. The Tigerzord with its sword charges at Kobura as the two begin exchanging hits from their sword as they try breaking through the defense of the other. Their attacks collide again, but the Tigerzord pushes Kobura's sword back and begins slashing against Kobura's chest. Kobura backs away and swings her tail knocking the Tigerzord down as she jumps towards her opponent.
However, the Tigerzord moves both feet up and kicks her away. The Tigerzord makes its way back up and sees Kobura has done the same.
"I wish I could use some of my fighting moves to help fight her," on cue Ahsoka begins sensing the Tigerzord talk to her. Letting her know it will follow her movement. "How will that work?"
Bright lights begins to appear around Ahsoka as it feels she is in control of her Zord. In her hand a hilt of a sword appeared in her hand showing she is in control of the sword.
"Now this is good. All right, follow my move and we'll get that snake back for all the hurt she's caused."
Kobura comes back at her, but Ahsoka uses the sword blocks the attacks as the Zord follows her movement with ease. Kobura tries using her tail again, but Ahsoka sees it and has the Tigerzord stomp on the tail. This caused Kobura to yell out in pain and gives Ahsoka and opening as she slashes Kobura twice, before her sword is caught by the snake's hand. Ahsoka moves her sword down with Kobura's hand following and drives the Zord's elbow into Kobura's face.
She puts her sword away and begins punching Kobura in the face with a couple of jabs, while dodging a few from Kobura. She drives the knee of the Zord into Kobura's gut driving the air out of her, jumps up, and drops the elbow to the back of Kobura's head. Kobura begins to recover, but Ahsoka has the Zord jump up and deliver a swift kicking across the face knocking her down as the Rangers look on still trying to recover their Zords.
"Man, she's kicking Kobura's butt like she is nothing," said Rick as he works with Lux to fix the shield of the Zord.
"Well, she did learn a lot from Master Skywalker," said Barriss as she works with Rachel to get power back to the Zord. "But I think we should go assist her since Kobura will try to find ways to get back control."
"She's right, hey bro! How's it going with your Zord?" Rachel asked calling out to Jake from the Dragonzord.
"Almost got it," on cue Jake managed to get his Dragonzord back on its feet as it lets out a roar. "How are you guys doing?"
"Almost got it," said Lux as they managed to fix the Megazord. "It's good, but we need to be careful. I just hope Ahsoka won't let her guard down."
Ahsoka was on her guard, but also felt good to be able to get some payback on Kobura, without letting her anger get to her. She grabs one of the orbs and sets it in the hole near where her sword is at.
"Take this, White Tiger Thunderbolt, armed and ready!"
From the center of the Tigerzord's mouth it fires off three sphere attacks hitting Kobura knocking her down. Kobura swings her tail again, but Ahsoka cuts it off as Kobura backs away.
"That's not going to work on me, Kobura. You're finished."
Kobura calmed down and began to laugh. "Don't be too sure about that, White Ranger."
The tail suddenly began moving as it grows in length and surrounds itself around the Tigerzord. Ahsoka struggled to help break her Zord free, but found that she couldn't.
"What is this?" she asked.
"Just a little surprise," said Kobura as she begins laughing.
The tail starts to glow and then moments later blew up damaging the Tigerzord knocking it down. Kobura approaches the Tigerzord and with her sword begins attacking it.
"Where's that cockiness now, little girl?!"
The attacks continues as Ahsoka could feel the attack due to her connection with the Zord. As Kobura goes for another hit, she is attacked by the Dragonzord's drill tail knocking her back. The Megazord and Dragonzord re-join the battle as they help the Tigerzord back on its feet.
"You okay, Ahsoka?" Jake asked.
Ahsoka manages to get back control of her Zord and helps it back on its feet. It joins the Zords as they charge in on Kobura. She opens fire at them, knocking the Zords back as they are still damaged. They knew even together they won't be able to get close enough to take Kobura down.
"What do we do now?" Ahsoka asked.
"Rangers, can you hear me?" said Alpha trying to contact the Rangers.
"We hear ya, what's up?" Jake asked.
"Zane told me there is a way to stop Kobura. You'll need to merge the Tigerzord and Dragonzord together to become the Trizord," he replied.
"Trizord?" Jake asked "Shouldn't we have a third Zord for that to happen?"
"The Megazord is too weakened for it. Zane found a way to merge all three Zords, but for now it can be with both your Zords," Alpha explained. "So form your Zords together to form the Trizord."
Jake like Ahsoka is surprised by this news and were excited to try this new transformation. "Well, all right. So what do we do?"
"Jake, you'll need to get into Ahsoka's Zord. When you do a new operating system will appear that will require three forms of Zord control. The Dragon dagger and Saba will be the forms of Zord control. When that happens Ahsoka take Saba from its position in the Tigerzord and put it in the new slot then Jake you do same and place the Dragon Dagger next to her sword," Alpha explained.
"Will do," Jake leaves the cockpit and jumps into Ahsoka's Zord where he made his way where Ahsoka waits for him. "Ready?"
Ahsoka nods in response. "Let's do it."
In front of the Orange balls a square appeared with three slots each slot was a different colour middle slot was white, left slot was green and the right slot was a grey colour.
Ahsoka took Saba out and put it in the White Slot as Jake put the slot in the green slot.
"We need Trizord power now!" Both Jake and Ahsoka said at once.
The Dragonzord road as it separated into different pieces. The Dragon legs went on top of the Tigerzord's arms as the nails opened showing separated cannons in each hole. The silver Dragonzord shield went down and separated into two and went onto the Tigerzord's legs and the Dragonzord remain body came open as it went on the back of the Tigerzord and the Dragonzord head was on top of the Megazords head. The tail of the Dragonzord came up as the arms went on the tail back to look like a sword that went into Tigerzord's hand as the new Megazord used both swords to create some lightning indicating it was ready for use.
"TRIZORD ONLINE!" Jake and Ahsoka said next to each other as the Tigerzord cockpit changed with the symbol on the wall showing both Dragonzord and Tigerzord on it.
They have a white and green emerald walls along with white and green diamonds on the Orange balls while the table in the Zord was pure emerald green with white diamonds on it. The green circle on the floor beamed a light as some lights came out showing that Ahsoka and Jake were in control so they can control the Zord together.
"That won't stop me!" Kobura opens fire on the new Zord, but her attacked bounced off it like it was nothing.
She growled in anger and charges at the Trizord swinging her sword. The Trizord uses its sword half to slash through Kobura's weapon and used the drill half to jab it into her gut knocking her back.
Kobura struggled to get up, weakened from the attack. "Is that…all you've…got?"
The Tigerzord head charges up along with the Dragonzord shoulder cannons begin charging as well. The Dragonzord generates a three-pronged energy attack in the middle as the Tigerzord charge up the attack as well with both their symbols in the attack. They opened fire as the roar of a Tiger and Dragon can be heard. The attacks pierces through Kobura's gut.
She falls on her knees and topples over before exploding leaving nothing left. The Trizord turns towards the Dino Megazord as both Zords nod their heads.
"We did it! We defeated Kobura!" Rachel shouted as she gives Lux a big hug.
"Yeah we did, high-five!" Rick moves his hand up in front of Barriss, who looks confused.
"What's a high-five?" Barriss asked confused.
Rick moves his hand down and lets out a small sigh. "Never mind."
Meanwhile on the Trizord Ahsoka like Rachel was excited that they won. "I can't believe it. We did it. We defeated Kobura and saved the day. That was…"
Jake couldn't help but smile seeing how happy Ahsoka is. "Awesome, we know. We're also glad you became a Power Ranger too. How did that happen?"
Ahsoka calms herself down and turns towards Jake. "It's a long story. One I'll tell you after we head back to assist in pushing back the Separatist."
"No need to, look," Jake points up as the Separatist ships begin to retreat. "Either they retreated because we defeated Kobura or your friends are arriving."
"Maybe," she probably figures it is because she defeated Vampira, but that probably isn't it. "Let's go back then before they find out we're missing. Oh and Jake," she removes her helmet and plants a kiss on the lips of his mask. "I'll see you all later, okay?"
Jake nods calmly, but behind his mask he is smiling with joy. Best…trip…ever
There we go folks, Ahsoka is finally a Power Ranger, defeated Vampira, summoned her Tigerzord, and we got to see the formation of a new Zord. Yeah my friend and I worked around the idea of putting together the Tiger and Dragonzord, but kept trying to figure out how it would look. My friend came up with how it looks so we hope you all like it. And yeah Saba here didn't talk because well let's face it I think not talking is good here.
Anyways, we want to thank you all for being patient and for enjoying how the last chapter went. We hope you enjoyed this chapter too and will like what happens next. Oh yeah things may look good for the Rangers now, but things are going to get a lot harder from here on out. What is it?
You'll have to keep on reading to find out and yes we know there are no Thunderzords here to merge with the Tigerzord. However, we have found the Dinozords merging with the Tigerzord online so don't be surprise if we see that happen here.
