Chapter 65 is here guys and I hope everyone is ready for the new chapter. I am looking forward to this chapter and was going to wait till tomorrow to do this. Until…okay guys so please bear with me for this part. November 11, 1918 the first World War One ended.
It was one of the bloodiest wars the world has ever seen. Millions of lives both civilians and soldiers died. It changed the world in every way and today I want to remember those who died.
I don't care if the soldiers were from America, Europe, or any part of the world. To me they all deserve to be remembered. Not just for their sacrifice, but for what they believed in. Thank you to all the brave soldiers that died during World War One and thank you to all our veterans for all they've done for us.
Please never forget these veterans. Never forget what they fought for and what they died for. I also hope many are okay with me doing this. If you want to read past this that's fine since I'm not forcing you all to read this part here.
All right, that's all. Now we can continue with the story by going over the recap. So, last time we saw Jake defeat and free the Warrior from his curse. A curse apparently wasn't from Damien himself, but someone else.
From who though and it looks like the Rangers are still in their fight against Torus. Can they defeat him? Can they defeat the Cerberus Ranger? Will Ahsoka find out who he is? And can she still beat him even if she finds out the truth?
Tune in today to find out and also thanks guys for the reviews and support. I appreciate it and I am enjoying the comments you guys have left. Also thank you to my friend for his help as well and hope you are doing well my friend where are at. Now, time for the disclaimer.
I don't own anything from Star Wars or the Power Rangers. I just own my OCs, while Tiberous was made by my friend. Enjoy the chapter everyone and hope you like this.
The Cerberus Knight Part XII
Senate Building
The fighting continued on Coruscant as the Clone army was finishing off the remains of the Droid army. Thanks to the assistance of the Power Rangers the Droid army's forces dwindled down. The Republic starships even managed to take down much of the enemy ships. Leaving only a few left, including the main flag ship.
However, the fighting may now be turning against the Republic. Damien's general monster, Torus has grown in size as he begins attacking the Power Rangers. The Power Rangers managed to unify their Zords together to form their megazord. The fighting soon begins moving away from the large buildings and more in the open, which is in full view of the Senate Building.
The Mega Dragonzord and Torus continued their fight around the city as the Power Rangers try taking the fight away from the city. More towards the open area and where there aren't any people around. The Mega Dragonzord powers up its fine to fire an attack at Torus. It knocks him back, but the bull monster refused to stay down.
He charges at the Mega Dragonzord and begins pushing him across the ground. The Mega Dragonzord stops Torus from going back into the city and pushes him back. Torus charges again, but the Mega Dragonzord kicks him in the gut. It then grabs him and lifts him up for a powerbomb. The Mega Dragonzord summons its Power Staff and goes to stab Torus in the chest.
However, Torus moves out of the way and got cut along his right arm. This caused him to roar loudly. Torus gets up and sees blood coming out of his arm as he snorts in anger.
"Damn, we almost got him," said Rick knowing they almost got the win, but they just missed him.
"It's all right. We've managed to wound him at least," said Rachel who knew this was the best they got on their opponent.
During much of the fight they were unable to do much harm to Torus. He was as strong as Nathan described to them. However, it seems the Power Staff can do some more to him. So, their weapon can penetrate through his thick hide skin.
"Don't lower your guard," said Nathan who knew better than to believe the fight is over.
Torus moves his hand to his wound and hissed when he felt the cut. He moves his face over to see the blood and then turns to the Ranger snorting.
"You cut me, Power Rangers. No one wounds me…NO ONE!" Torus roared angrily as his body begins to change. He began becoming bulkier, his horns got longer, and his body is set on fire.
"Um did anyone know he could do that?" Lux asked shocked by his transformation.
"No, but I get a feeling he's a lot stronger now than before. Like Vampira when she transformed," said Barriss recalling how Vampira could transform too and became stronger.
"If so then stay on your guard everyone," said Nathan knowing from experience what these monsters can do when they transform like this.
Torus begins charging at the Power Rangers as they begin charging their next attack. They fire another energy fin attack, but it bounced off the monster. Torus's body begins getting engulfed in flames until he hits the Power Rangers. The Mega Dragonzord is sent flying across the city until it was near the Jedi Temple.
The Power Rangers all groan in pain as they begin trying to recover from the attack. Nathan is the first to recover as he felt his injuries coming back to him, but he does his best to ignore them.
"Everyone okay?" Nathan asked as he turns to the others hearing loud groans. "Okay, good. How is the Megazord?"
Barriss begins inspecting the Zord and sighed. "Not good. If we get hit by another one of those attacks and we're done."
"Can we stand?" Nathan asked as the Power Rangers begin trying to get the Zord up, but it was struggling to stand. "Okay, not right now. I suggest we call in the others and see if they can help us," Nathan looks over and sees the monster marching towards them. "And soon before we're done for."
Jedi Temple
Ahsoka continued her fight against the Cerberus Ranger. The two began taking the fight towards the garden where she continues to use her speed to try beating her enemy. Despite the injuries he suffered a week ago by Zane he was still fast and strong. Still, she needed to take him down and soon to help the others.
She got word the others are fighting Torus and they need some help. Of course it is easier said than done trying to beat this guy. He has defeated her and her friends before. Even as a group they couldn't beat him.
But she has to try. Not just for the sake of her friends, but the sake of everyone else. However, the Cerberus Ranger was becoming more aggressive with his attacks. This caused Ahsoka to try using her speed and agility to dodge his hits.
Even block them with her swords as he begins pushing her further away from the garden. Going near the ledge where she knew where he was going with this. Ahsoka and the Cerberus Ranger's attack collided with each other. Both trying to push the other back, but the Cerberus Ranger was too strong.
She looks around her surroundings and used this chance to push him off. She leaps on the ledge and pushes herself off to the wall just before the Cerberus Ranger could slash at her. She pushes off against the wall and lands behind him. Instead of slicing him though she uses the Force to push him against the ledge. Ahsoka charges in to finish him off, but he surprised her by moving his hand up and uses the Force to send her flying.
Ahsoka lands on the ground as she looks over shocked to find the Cerberus Ranger just used the Force. She knew that was impossible unless he is a Sith. Maybe Maul? No, if he was then he would be after Obi Wan.
"Who are you? How did you do that?" Ahsoka asked knowing that this guy can use the Force she has to figure out who he is.
"I could ask you the same thing, Jedi," said the Cerberus Ranger knowing the White Ranger is a Jedi. "Although it doesn't matter does it? You and your friends will all perish once I am done with you all. I will do it in the name of my master, Damien."
"You are foolish to think your master even cares about you," Ahsoka replied back. "To him you are his pawn that he needs to complete his goal. I bet he didn't care about his monsters when we destroyed them."
"The difference between me and them is I actually get the job done," said the Cerberus Ranger as he stood ready to attack. "And I will complete my goal after I destroy you."
"Not going to happen," Ahsoka replied knowing now she doesn't need to hold back from using the Force.
The Cerberus Ranger charges at her as Ahsoka uses the Force to push him back. It worked, but he used his sword to keep himself from getting pushed back too much. Ahsoka charges at him for an attack, but the Cerberus Ranger used the Force to send her flying. Ahsoka is sent flying off the temple, but she managed to use her swords to hold on to the wall.
The Cerberus Ranger begins walking over to see where she fell, but the moment he did Ahsoka leaps up and slashes at his helmet. Damaging part of it before she landed behind him. She goes to finish him off, but the Cerberus Ranger swings his weapon and slashed across her chest. Ahsoka is sent flying as she fell to the ground.
Ahsoka lays on the ground in pain. The attack was close so it managed to injure her. The Cerberus Ranger leans against the railing and moves his hand to his head where he got hit. The helmet took most of the blow, but it was enough to hurt him.
Ahsoka looks up to see the Cerberus Ranger is down and knew she has to try attacking while he is hurt. She'll never get another chance to do this. She grabs her weapons and begins slowly getting up. She is in so much pain, but she ignored it as she begins to charge.
If he attacks again she'll be able to react in time. Right on cue the Cerberus Ranger noticed her charging at him and uses his sword to attack. Ahsoka leaps up into the air to dodge the attack. She sees him going to use the Force, but she hits him with her own Force push first. She managed to hit him and cause him to stagger against the railing.
She lands on the ground in front of him and goes to attack until. "Ahsoka stop!" she turns around to see it was Obi Wan calling her name. "The Cerberus Ranger is Anakin!"
Ahsoka stops her attack and turns to the Cerberus Ranger. She sees part of his helmet damaged and sees his eyes. She can see those familiar eyes and knew Obi Wan is right. She couldn't believe it.
"A-Anakin?" she was in shocked when she saw her master who she believed was gone for good…is alive. "I-is that you?"
The Cerberus Ranger…no Anakin looks at the White Ranger when he heard a familiar voice. It was the voice of his apprentice as he tries to speak. "A-hsoka?"
Ahsoka drops her weapons and checks on Anakin. "Yes it's me. It's Ahsoka."
Ahsoka couldn't believe he is alive. She didn't know this is possible or what is going on. All she could think about is her master is alive. After all this time.
Anakin moves his left hand up to Ahsoka's helmet. Surprised to find out the White Ranger is his former student. All this time and he didn't know. However, this little reunion is shortlived as Anakin's eyes begin glowing red.
He pushes Ahsoka off and uses his sword to attack her directly. Ahsoka didn't even have time to react as the attack slashed across her chest causing her to scream. Obi Wan screamed out Ahsoka's name as he saw her fall to her knees. Ahsoka's power soon gave out and she returned to normal before falling to the ground unconscious.
Anakin…no the Cerberus Ranger begins laughing evilly as he stood over Ahsoka. "So all this time. The White Ranger was my former student. I can't say I am surprised…" he soon lifts his sword up to finish her off. "But I can say I am disappointed at how weak she is."
As he brings his weapon down Obi Wan uses the Force to push him back against the railing. With him Master Shaak Ti and Master Depa Billaba used the Force to bring Ahsoka towards them.
"Caleb, get Ahsoka to safety, now." Master Billaba ordered her apprentice Caleb Dume.
Caleb nods in response as he carries Ahsoka to safety, while the three Jedi Masters stood by to fight the Cerberus Ranger. The Cerberus Ranger recovered from the attack and glared at the three Jedi.
"You would dare attack your friend, Kenobi?" the Cerberus Ranger asked.
"You aren't the Anakin I know," said Obi Wan who figured this is a trick from Damien. "The Anakin I know wouldn't try murdering his former apprentice in cold blood like that. You are being controlled by Vampira, aren't you?"
The Cerberus Ranger once more laughs evilly before he shook his head in response. "I am Anakin…or at least the dark side of him. The anger, hatred, and rage that he has been keeping hidden has now been freed by my master."
"That is absurd," said Master Shaak Ti who didn't believe this.
"Oh? Why not ask Master Kenobi here," said the Cerberus Ranger as he turns to Kenobi. "You know of the darkness within you. You watched it grow while you trained him. Sure, over the years you tried to help him overcome it, but all you did was make it worse. In fact, it was because of you that rage grew even more until he unleashed it after what happened to his mother."
"His mother" Obi Wan knew Anakin's mother died on Tatooine, but Anakin didn't give him more details about it except it was at the hands of the Tusken Raiders. Obi Wan knew though there was more to his story.
"Oh yes. He had visions of his mother suffering, the pain she went through, and it grew every day as time passed. He wanted to see her, but you told him he couldn't," said the Cerberus Ranger as he tightened his grip on his weapon. "You told him he couldn't go see her and because of you she died! She died thanks to those filthy animals and what they did to her! He held her in his arms when she died and knew he couldn't save her. His hatred, anger, and rage fuelled him until he unleashed it on the animals that took his mother."
Obi Wan didn't say anything since he knew then what Anakin did now. He killed the Tusken Raiders. He should have known. He felt his student's anger on Geonosis, but he…he didn't think much of it thanks to the war.
Master Billaba though did speak out about this. "He murdered the Tusken Raiders for what happened to his mother?"
"Oh yes. He killed them all," said the Cerberus Ranger as his body begins to glow. "He killed the men, women, and the children. All of them and it felt amazing. Since that night I was born and I wanted him to give in to the dark side. To let the rage flow through him like it has been freed now."
"But he didn't," said Master Billaba knowing Anakin has never acted or seem to indicate going to the dark side. "What changed?"
The Cerberus Ranger begins laughing softly as he looks down. "Love…his love for his wife, his student, and his friends that kept me back. But now thanks to my master the Anakin Skywalker you know is gone. Now…the Cerberus Ranger lives."
"His wife?" Master Shaak Ti asked confused as she turns to Obi Wan. "What is he talking about?"
Obi Wan knew who the Cerberus Ranger meant, but didn't reply to Master Shaak Ti's question. "It doesn't matter right now. What does matter is you say Anakin is gone? Wrong! I know he's still in there and we will get him out."
The Cerberus Ranger laughs loudly as he leans against the railing. "Oh please! You Jedi are all too weak to stop me. Without the same power as the Rangers you can't beat me! You are nothing to me…" he stops laughing as he leans forward and looks at the Jedi. "You are all nothing but weaklings."
He soon unleashes his attack at the Jedi, who all try to use the Force to stop his attack. It stops his attack from hitting them, but the force of the attack knocks all three Jedi back.
Obi Wan struggled to get up as he looks over to see the two Jedi Masters knocked out. He could feel his body is in pain while also feeling blood coming down his forehead. He looks over to see the Cerberus Ranger approaching him. Obi Wan struggled to get up as he ignites his lightsaber.
"Give it up, Kenobi. You can't beat me," said the Cerberus Ranger as he stops halfway towards the Jedi. "I am more powerful than any Jedi. I am more powerful than the Sith. I am more powerful than any Power Ranger. And soon…my master."
Obi Wan managed to get himself back up as he grips his lightsaber. "Anakin…I know you are in there…don't let Damien control you…come back to us…"
The Cerberus Ranger shook his head and sighed. "It is too late. He is gone and soon so will you. It's too bad maybe if you had the same powers as the Rangers you could have been a worthy opponent. A pity now I have to kill you in such a weakened state."
As he prepares to attack they hear a familiar voice. "Not if I have anything to say about it!" the Cerberus Ranger turns around and sees something fast flying towards at him.
It slashes against him causing him to scream in pain. The Cerberus Rangers fall back and grabs his weapon as he looks around at what attacked him.
"Who is there?! Show yourself!" the Cerberus Ranger shouts in anger.
"As you wish!" the voice came again as whatever attacked him came flying back and slashes against him.
This caused the Cerberus Ranger to fall back in pain as sparks came from where he got hit. Obi Wan looks on shocked at what is going on until he sees something in the sky. It appeared to be a figure with long wings. The Cerberus Ranger noticed this and looks up to see someone flying.
"There you are coward!" the Cerberus Ranger attacks with his energy attack from his sword.
However, the figure disappeared before the attack hits him. The Cerberus Ranger looks around wondering where the figure is at until he feels a tap on his shoulder. He swings his weapon, but his wrist is caught by the figure and is kicked in the chest. The attack sends him through the wall and into the Jedi Temple.
Obi Wan couldn't believe what just happened. Someone came in and overpowered the Cerberus Ranger. Was it Zane? He soon saw the Cerberus Ranger get kicked in the chest and got his answer when he saw who it is.
"J-Jake? Is that you?" Obi Wan asked who couldn't believe what he is seeing.
It's the Red Ranger, but he appears different. He appears to be wearing a gold armour chest piece with the Tyrannosaurus Rex symbol in the middle of the armour. Gold wrist gauntlets, boots, belt, two golden streaks on the helmet, and two long gold wings. Jake approaches Obi Wan and checks on him.
"Liking the new upgrade?" Jake asked when he saw the shocked reaction on Obi Wan's face. "Curtesy of the…Warrior. He gave me these powers after he…well you know."
Obi Wan nods understanding what happened as he turns to where Anakin was sent through. "Jake, listen. The Cerberus Ranger he's…"
"I know. I heard everything," said Jake who overheard what was said before he arrived. "Where's Ahsoka?" he asked hoping she doesn't find out.
Obi Wan almost hesitated not to tell Jake what happened, but he couldn't lie to the kid. "She found out who the Cerberus Ranger is. She hesitated to finish him off and got seriously hurt. We got her to safety but…it's my fault. I only stopped her before she tried killing him and finding out who he is."
Hearing Ahsoka getting hurt angered Jake. He gripped his weapon tightly and felt the anger flowing through him. However, he began trying to calm himself down. He knew it wasn't Anakin's fault.
Damien did something to him and he has to try saving him. Without killing him.
"I'll go stop him. In the meantime…" Jake's communicator begins going off as he responds to it. "What is it Alpha?"
"Jake, the Rangers need you. They can't beat Torus alone," Alpha replied knowing Zane is still recovering from his last fight.
"Shit…" he knew he has to stop Anakin before he hurts anymore people, but he has to help his friends too. "Alpha, can you teleport the T-Rex and White Tigerzord to help?"
"Yes, but without Ahsoka the Tigerzord can't transform," Alpha explained.
"It will have to do until the others can recover," said Jake as he turns to Obi Wan. "Please stay here. I'll go stop Anakin. In the meantime, care for the others."
Jake took off to find Anakin, while Obi Wan stays behind. He looks over at the two unconscious Jedi and checks on them. He contacts for medical help when he heard some noises coming from afar. He walks over and sees the Mega Dragonzord standing up as the monster Torus begins approaching them.
He changed. He didn't look like the same monster he fought on Almora. As he watches the two other Zords emerge to join in the fight Obi Wan couldn't help but balls his fist. He hates watching everyone he knows fight while he has to sit on the sideline doing nothing.
This felt too much like when he watched his master fight Darth Maul alone. He felt vulnerable and wish he could have helped his master. Maybe if he did then the darkness within Anakin wouldn't have been born. Maybe then Damien wouldn't have tried taking him and manipulating him.
Instead though he watched his master be killed by Maul. He begins thinking back what the dark side of Anakin said and wonders if what he said really was his fault? Was it really his fault that he prevented Anakin from saving his mother? What if he did let him go back to save her?
Would her being alive have stop him from murdering the Tusken Raiders or would seeing what they did to his mother still have him kill them all? No! It wasn't his fault he thought. He did all he could to help Anakin.
Even try getting him to let go, but because of his attachment to his mother he couldn't do it. He didn't understand though. He never grew up like Anakin did and form a close attachment like he did to a parent. Maybe that's why Anakin never spoke to him about what happened to his mother.
Maybe he felt he wouldn't have understand. "I could have tried…if he let me."
His thoughts are interrupted when he saw the Rangers losing in their fight. Even with the T-Rex and Tigerzord they were no match for Torus. It wouldn't be long before he beats them and if he does…damn it he wants to help! He doesn't want to watch on the sideline anymore and wants to help the others.
He moves his hand up holding is lightsaber and grips his weapon. "He's right. Maybe if I did have the same powers I could help. Without it I'm…"
"I don't remember ever teaching you to give up so easily," suddenly a familiar voice could be heard speaking to Obi Wan.
One he hasn't heard since his time on Mortis. "M-master Qui-Gon?"
Although he couldn't see Master Qui Gon he could hear his voice echoing around him. "I sense you are doubting yourself, Obi Wan. Why is that?"
Obi Wan didn't understand what is going on, but it didn't stop him from speaking to his former master. "Because I-I feel like I failed Anakin. I feel like I let him down when I should have been there to help him. Just like how I failed to save you."
"You didn't fail me, Obi Wan. Just like you didn't fail Anakin," said Qui Gon as it felt like he was speaking close to his former student. "It was my fault for not preparing him for the life of a Jedi and for not preparing you to take on a student who was still attached to someone he loves."
"I know you did the best you could, master. But I still ended up training him and I couldn't help him overcome the darkness within him," said Obi Wan who didn't blame his master for how Anakin turned out it was his own.
"No, Obi Wan. I know you've done all you could to train him well. Yes, I know of the struggles you both went through, but you still overcame them together. And I know you'll help him overcome the darkness within him," said Qui Gon as he soon appears before Obi Wan in a ghostly form. "He may not be your student anymore, but it doesn't mean you can't be there for him. There is still good in him. You know it and he will need you to help him come back. You, Ahsoka, Padme, and the life she carries in her."
Obi Wan stares at his master and knew he is right. Even with everything Anakin has gone through he still has those who love him and want to help him. He knew they won't give up on him and he shouldn't either. He needs to save Anakin and help free him from Damien's control.
His attention turns back to the fighting as the Rangers are losing in their fight. Obi Wan knew he has to do something, but he didn't know how.
"It seems the Rangers need help," said Master Qui Gon as he looks at the fighting as well. "I suppose you should go help them."
Obi Wan turns to his master looking confused. "H-how? I don't have a morpher."
"Yes you do. You will take mine," Master Qui Gon closes his eyes as he calls on his morpher.
On Endor in the Command Center where the morphers are all kept there is one that begins to glow. It is soon shot from the room and teleports towards Coruscant. It soon lands in Obi Wan's hand as he sees it appears to be a silver morpher. In the middle there appears to be a gold power coin with a strange creature's head symbol in the middle.
Obi Wan begins moving his hand towards it as it begins to glow. Obi Wan couldn't believe that his master gave him his morpher. Entrusting him with it and its power. To help the others and save Anakin.
"Good luck, Obi Wan. May the Force be with you and may the power protect you always," said Master Qui Gon before he disappeared.
"Master! Wait!" Obi Wan called out, but it was too late. His master was gone and he was alone.
Obi Wan looks down at the morpher and sees it glowing even more. He then looks back at the fighting and sees the Power Rangers are in danger. He looks down at the morpher and begins smiling a little. His master has given him one last gift for him to use to help his friends.
He won't let him down. He remembers seeing the others how they morph and so does the same. "It's Morphin' time!" he thrusts his hands forward as his morpher activates. "Titanus Zord!"
A bright light engulfs his entire body until the transformation finished. He appears wearing a silver armoured suit with a similar gold armour shield on his chest like the Green Ranger. He also a gold/silver belt with his morpher in the middle. His helmet is silver with dark eye visor, in the shape of his Zord, a fin on the head, and red eyes on the helmet.
Obi Wan looks over his suit after he morphed and is surprised with how it looks. It felt amazing. He never felt like this before and he wonders if this is how the others feel when they transform. He can also feel the knowledge of his power and his Zord flowing through his mind so he knows what to do.
Meanwhile the Power Rangers are continuing to get beaten by Torus. His new form made it difficult for their attacks to pierce through his hide. They tried to get the T-Rex and White Tigerzord to help distract it. Allowing them to use the Power Staff, but he keeps battering them away.
Even with the two extra Zords they couldn't stop Torus. They struggled to hold on as the Mega Dragonzord continued to take a beating.
"Come on, Rangers! We can't give up," said Nathan who is trying to keep the others together.
"But how can we stop him? He's too strong," said Barriss knowing they need a miracle to beat it.
"What if we transform into the Dino Megazord then merge with the Dragonzord?" Rick suggested until he sees the T-Rex getting knocked away. "Oh never mind."
"We have to try anything," said Rachel knowing they don't have much strength left to keep this fight up. "One more hit from his charge and we're done for."
"Then we better hurry up and find an opening soon," said Lux knowing this is going to go bad for them soon if they don't find a way to win.
"Give it up, Rangers! You can't stop me! You are all weak!" Torus shouted as he prepares to charge again.
"How about you try taking me on?!" Torus turns to where he hears the voice and sees another Ranger. "You want a fight? You can take it up with me, the Silver Ranger."
The other Rangers noticed this new Ranger and look on shocked. "I-is that another Ranger? Where did he come from?" Lux asked.
"I don't know, but if he's here to help I'll take it," said Rick who didn't care who he is.
Nathan on the other hand though was more shocked with the appearance of this new Ranger since he recognized the suit. That's Qui-Gon's suit. He thought wondering who Zane to actually take this power since he knew no one else they knew could use it.
Torus turns his attention to the new Ranger and begins laughing. "Oh? Another Ranger? Ha! You think you can take me on your own, pipsqueak?"
"Oh I never said I was alone," said Obi Wan as he moves his hand up to the sky and calls out his Zord. "I call upon the power of Titanus!"
On the planet of Almora a bright silver light is seen being shot into the sky. It heads towards the planet of Coruscant. It lands near the group as a large silver Zord emerged. Nathan looks over and is shocked to see the Zord he never thought he would see again. It was a large Brachiosaurus Carrierzord, which was once used by Qui-Gon Jinn.
Now it is being used by someone else. But who? Who has the morpher chosen to take its power? And is it someone they already know?
Obi Wan leaps into the air and is able to enter the cockpit of his Zord. It was similar to the one the Rangers use, except with the symbol of his power coin behind him.
"All right. Now, let's get started," said Obi Wan as he charges his Zord's power.
Titanus roared loudly as it prepares to fight after years of being inactive. Torus roared as he begins charging up his attack. Obi Wan noticed this and has his Zord attack. Titanus opened its mouth and fired several red energy blasts from its mouth. The attack hits Torus before his attack could be charged up.
Torus roared in anger as he again begins charging his attack. Obi Wan noticed this and has Titanus attack again. Torus managed to dodge the attack and fire a fire blast from his horns. Titanus though fired its shoulder cannons blasts to collide with the other's attack. Torus used this chance though to begin charging his charge attack.
However, Obi Wan has a trick up his sleeve. He fires two long gold chains from Titanus as they wrap around Torus. Keeping him in place. Torus tries to charge his attack, but Obi Wan fires an energy attack through the chains and injuring Torus as he roared in pain.
The others though see an opening and take advantage. "Time to finish this! Power up the Power Staff!" said Nathan as the Power Rangers leap their Zord over Torus just as the monster began getting the chains off.
The Mega Dragonzord thrusts its weapon through the chest of Torus causing him to roar. The Mega Dragonzord moves out of the way as Obi Wan has Titanus opened fire. Firing its shoulder cannons and mouth blast hitting the monster. Torus roared in pain once more before he falls over and explodes leaving nothing left.
Meanwhile
Jake enters the Jedi Temple as he begins looking for Anakin. He knew he couldn't have gone far. Not with how he injured him during the fight. Luckily he hasn't found any bodies around.
So, he hasn't killed anyone after being tossed in here. That's good. At least Jake thinks so. He isn't sure though if this will keep Anakin from trying to kill anyone.
He enters what he remembers Ahsoka told him is the Room of a Thousand Fountains. It was a large greenhouse located at the base of the Jedi Temple. He looks around to see waterfalls, meditative areas, pottery, stone walkways, and a huge amounts of flora. Ahsoka never took him here since it was for Jedi who needed meditative retreat.
So, it was rather private for only the Jedi to use. Jake though noticed some footsteps on the ground and kneels down to see where they lead. The Cerberus Ranger though used this as a distraction. He is seen slowly sneaking up on Jake with his sword aiming for his neck.
Jake though knew he was behind him and when the Cerberus Ranger attacked his wings caught the sword. Jake then swings his sword and slashes across the chest of the Cerberus Ranger. His enemy screams in pain as he rolls across the ground. He begins to try to recover as he looks over at his enemy with anger filled in his eyes.
"Attacking me from behind? Whatever happened to that confidence you had when you were kicking my ass and that of my friends?" Jake mocked trying to find an opening to grab that power coin from Anakin.
The Cerberus Ranger got up and grips his sword tightly. "Shut up! You are still weak! Without your new little upgrades you can't beat me!"
"This is coming from the guy who earlier mocked us saying you had more power than the Power Rangers," said Jake as the two opponents begin circling around not taking their eyes off each other. "Now when someone more powerful than you shows up you are going to cry about it. You are definitely not Anakin. The Anakin I was told about is someone who didn't make excuses, overcomes the odds, and looks out for those he cares about. You on the other hand you are nothing more than a coward."
"I am no coward!" said the Cerberus Ranger as he kept his eyes on the Red Ranger. "I am everything Skywalker could have been. I am what he needs to be in order to survive. Without me he would have died long ago. Hell, if he had given in to the darkness then maybe he could have saved his mother."
"I'm pretty sure his mother would be horrified to find out how her son turned out," said Jake doubting any mother would want to see their son grow up to be a monster. "I know the real Anakin is there. Trapped by all that hate, anger, and rage. I will save him and bring him back to the light. No matter what."
"No! Skywalker is gone!" said the Cerberus Ranger as he charges his sword. "I made sure of it and I will destroy you!"
The Cerberus Ranger fires his attack, but Jake leaps out of the way and flies over to his opponent. He swings his sword as the two begin fighting around the garden. The Cerberus Ranger blocks Jake's attacks as he tries to push him back. Jake's new power boost gave him an edge in this fight, but he knew he needed to end this soon.
The Cerberus Ranger blocks his last attack and grabs his wrist. He then throws him over near a tree, but Jake uses his wings to stop himself. The Cerberus Ranger charges at him, but Jake blocks his attack with his sword. He pushes him off and begins spinning as he swings his wings to slash at the Cerberus Ranger.
Jake then stops and kicks his opponent in the chest sending him back. Jake then swings his weapon and slashes his opponent across the chest causing him to fall to the ground. Jake then turns to the Cerberus Ranger noticing his power is giving out. This is his chance.
He runs over to grab the power coin, but the Cerberus Ranger yells in anger and he stands up. The Cerberus Ranger uses the Force to choke Jake as he tries to kill him. Jake though wasn't going to let him do this. His chest piece begins to glow until it fires a red energy blast hitting the Cerberus Ranger.
The blast sends him through a nearby tree before falling into the water. Jake stands on the edge of the water where he sees the Cerberus Ranger struggling to get up.
Jake didn't want to kill him or hurt him even more. He knew he is too weakened to fight him so he tries to get through to him. Now that he has weakened the evil half. He just hope he can get through to him.
"Anakin, I know you are in there. You need to come back. You need to come back to us."
The Cerberus Ranger growls in anger. "He's gone…the Skywalker you know is gone!"
"No, he isn't," said Jake who knows the good within Anakin is not gone. "You said you wanted to kill Ahsoka, Obi Wan, and Padme. But I know why. You want to kill them because you know they can help bring the good of Anakin back. They can bring him back from the darkness and destroy you."
"No!" the Cerberus Ranger leaps up to attack Jake, but Jake blasts him again sending him into the water.
"You can do this, Anakin! You can beat the darkness. Ahsoka and Obi Wan knows you can do it. And so does Padme," said Jake as he sees the Cerberus Ranger getting up again. "Damien is using you to hurt those who love you. Those who believe in you. Those who won't give up on you and need you, especially Padme. She needs you because she's…" he stops himself from telling Anakin about Padme's pregnancy.
"S-she's what?" the Cerberus Ranger…no Anakin begins looking back at Jake with his normal blue colored eyes. "I-is she okay? W-what h-happened?"
Jake sees Anakin is breaking through and knew he has to keep this up. But he isn't sure if he should tell him she is pregnant until he is sure he is in control. "Anakin…she misses you so much. She misses having you by her side. She misses her true love being there for her and to comfort her. She needs you to come back to her…" Jake puts his sword down and extends his hand to Anakin. "Come back to us."
Anakin could be seen struggling as he feels the darkness within him trying to regain control. He begins shaking his head as he moves away from the Red Ranger.
"I-I can't!" Anakin shouted. "The evil…its too powerful…please…stop me…NOW!"
Jake knew this would happen and sees he has no choice. While Anakin is struggling he goes to grab the power coin when he is blasted away by someone. Jake managed to roll himself over and grabs his sword before looking at who attacked him. Before the darkness within Anakin could regain control he is knocked out by General Arachnia as she appears behind him.
Jake looks over to see this new monster. "Who are you?"
General Arachnia turns to the Red Ranger and sees the new form he has. "Hmm the original Red Ranger never had his own Battlizer before. How very interesting," said General Arachnia as she picks up the unconscious Cerberus Ranger before turning to the Red Ranger once more.
She was very impressed with what she saw and knew this Red Ranger is indeed different from the original. "My name is General Arachnia. Fourth-in-command…*laughs* well now third-in-command of Master Damien's great army. I am here to retrieve the Cerberus Ranger to my master and prepare him for the final battle."
"The final battle?" Jake was shocked to hear this since he thought the attack on Coruscant was the final battle. "You mean, all of this wasn't it?"
General Arachnia began to laugh evilly. "Oh please! If this was the final battle you would all be dead. No, this is just the preview of what my master has in store for all of you. He will unleash everything on you Power Rangers…on Almora."
Jake's expression under his helmet grew to one of shock. Not only is Damien going to unleash his full army on them, but on their home world.
"W-wait a minute," said Jake as he snaps out of what he was told. "Why are you telling me this? How do I know you are telling the truth?"
General Arachnia shrugs her shoulders. "I like to root for the underdog. I also want to see if you all to be ready for the end. Say your prayers, write your will, and say goodbye to all your loved ones. Because the end will come for you all soon."
General Arachnia soon disappears leaving Jake alone confused by what happened. Not only did Damien have another general that they never knew about, but that she told them his endgame. A final showdown on the planet of Almora. Jake didn't like this and knew whatever this spider woman is up to cannot be good.
"I better let the others know," said Jake while also heading off to find Ahsoka and hope she is okay. "I just hope Zane will be able to make sense of what just happened, because if she is right then we all better get ready."
Meanwhile
Chancellor Palpatine is seen heading towards an unknown room in an unknown location. He arrived earlier after his little meeting with General Arachnia. He was very upset when he saw what Damien did attacking his planet and trying to force him into submission. However, when the spider woman revealed her own little plan to the Sith Lord.
Well, he couldn't help but agree to go along with this. Until their plan can begin going underway.
He enters a dark room as the door behind him closes. Soon he moves his hands up as blue flames appeared in the middle of a pedestal. He soon took out a piece of paper that was given to him by the spider. He looks over it and begins laughing evilly.
"So, you wish to end this partnership then, Damien? Very well. I will end it," said Palpatine…no Darth Sidious before he puts the paper away. "But be warned. You will soon learn what happens when you try betraying the Sith."
Soon a hologram of his apprentice Count Dooku appears before his master. "You needed to see me, master?"
"I need you to head to head to Coruscant, immediately. It is time we end Damien and his little war with the Power Rangers," Darth Sidious ordered before moving his hands along the flames. "Once and for all."
Yep! Jake has his own Battlizer! For those who are unaware of this it is a special armoured enhancement given to the Red Rangers. Think of it as both a power boost and give them more weapons.
The original Mighty Morphin Red Ranger never had one. None of the original Rangers did, except Tommy's Green Ranger armour, which he can lend to the others. However, it isn't considered a Battlizer. But it does give them a boost in power and protection.
Anyways, I'm sure that isn't what you all focused on. What you all focused on is yes Obi Wan is a Power Ranger. The silver ranger and is in control of Titanus! You all know what that means right?
Yes, it is only a matter of time. Soon, with the final battle coming up you will get to see it. I am getting so excited. I cannot wait to write it all up.
Also, shit it looks like the others will need to wait to save Anakin next time. Can he be saved? Can they save him from the darkness? Or will it be too late?
