A/N: Really happy with the responses from the last chapter! Excited to hear what you have to think of this chapter. Sorry it took so long, college work and general sicknesses have been hampering my abilities. Gonna try to shoot for bi-weekly but it's unlikely to happen to be honest. But I hope you all enjoy the end to this two-parter!
Power Rangers: Aura Masters
Episode 2
"Aura Power, Part 2"
"Um guys, what are we supposed to do about that?" Paris points at the enlarged lieutenant. The new Rangers stare in disbelief despite knowing this was a thing that Rangers before them has beaten, it was still a shock to see in person.
"What is it Rangers? Unable to fight back now that I'm at full power?" The monster taunts raising it's foot to stomp down on them.
"Move!" Ally shouts as the five scatter in opposite directions with the foot crashing down where they once stood leaving a giant footprint.
"What are we going to do? We don't have any big robots!" Megan shouts starting to realize being a Power Ranger wasn't all she thought it was going to be. Zeppeli walks over to the five Rangers.
"You do, but I don't have time to teach you in this moment how to summon it. So for now, you need to focus on getting that thing through that portal!" Zeppeli sounds more like a commander for a second as Jayden looks around and sees the portal.
"It's too small, how are we gonna fit that thing in there?!" Jayden asks confused as the monster raises it's leg again to crush Jayden, but Ally's whip suddenly wraps around him and pulls him out of the way of the foot. "Thanks…"
"I'll take care of the portal, you just get him near it!" Zeppeli commands before running past the five Rangers towards the portal. He skids across the ground with grass stains attaching themselves to his white tuxedo as a blue energy in his hands begins to be fed into the portal.
"Any bright ideas?!" Cain calls out as the team narrowly avoid another stomp from the lieutenant.
"What if I break the ground just behind him? All you guys would have to do is push him just a little!" Paris offers looking around for anything the group could use.
"I think I can do it…" Megan suddenly announces holding out her Aura Rotor which she still wasn't fully sure how to use.
"Then let's do it! Right guys?" Paris looks back at Ally, Jayden and Cain who were all talking amongst themselves. "Um… guys?"
The monster begins to laugh at the lack of teamwork showcased, "These Power Rangers are pathetic! The Emperor will be glad to know his return is guaranteed!" The monster begins walking away.
"Paris, let's just do this. We can't let him escape!" Megan points out with Paris nodding. Megan holds out the rotor and begins to focus. Paris watches with amazement as yellow energy begins to flow out of her hand and into the rotor.
"H-how are you doing that?" Paris asks in disbelief.
"Shut up, concentrating!" Megan then looks up as knowledge begins to flow into her head about the weapon she's using. "I've got it… an instruction manual." She turns her body towards the monster and throws the rotor forward. "Aura Rotor, blast off!"
The Aura Rotor suddenly begins to spin as the yellow energy placed it asks like jet propulsion causing it to go flying at the monster. Smacking into the monster, it stumbles backwards towards the portal.
"Alright, time to execute the plan!" Jayden suddenly announces out of nowhere as Cain takes Ally's whip and latches onto Jayden.
"Fastball special coming right up!" Cain declares as he begins to swing Jayden around before letting go slinging Jayden at the giant monster.
"What!?" The monster shouts as Jayden grins behind his helmet. Jayden slams his sword straight into the monster with it yelling out in pain. The monster's hand suddenly comes swinging upwards too fast for Jayden to react, but the Aura Rotor changes direction and slams into the hand stopping Jayden from being squished.
"I got Jayden!" Ally steps forward extending her whip and grabbing Jayden out of the way from another strike.
"And I have the big guy!" Paris declares jumping behind the off-balance monster and slamming his tonfas into the ground with them blasting out energy that breaks open the ground.
Jayden turns over to Zeppeli, "Hey, you nearly ready with that damn thing?"
"Better than that, I'm finished." Zeppeli gives an exhausted sigh as the portal suddenly moves upwards and expands covering over the monster.
"I'll be back Rangers! I'll be back!" The monster declares as the portal shuts on him and Zeppeli destroys the portal resulting in an explosion that sends everyone hurdling back out of their Ranger forms.
"We did it!" Megan suddenly shouts with excitement and disbelief in her voice.
"We did it?" Cain looks at the battleground in shock.
"Yes, he's been sent back to the Underworld for the time being, but the conflict isn't over today. All I was able to do was send him back temporarily, he'll be back in a few hours." Zeppeli warns the Rangers who look around at each other.
"What are we supposed to do? We barely made it out of that." Ally asks in disbelief that there is a whole empire of beings like that.
"You're going to come with me. I'll teach you all how to use the most powerful weapon at your disposal." Zeppeli announces with him beginning to walk off. Paris, Megan, Ally, and Jayden are quick to follow, but Cain just sits there looking at everything.
"Cain?" Megan turns to see that he's stopped.
"I… don't want to do this. I don't want to be a Power Ranger." Cain takes off his wrist brace suddenly as Zeppeli pushes past the others.
"We need you! You're bonded to the powers now, nobody else can take it!" Zeppeli angrily grabs Cain. "This is the whole world at-!"
Jayden comes from behind and throws Zeppeli off him and into the dirt. "I'll catch up with you guys," Ally nods at him as Zeppeli angrily wipes off his face and leads the other three off. Jayden sits down next to Cain who has his head in his hands. "You good?"
Cain looks at him and then looks down, "No… I'm not. Why the hell is it our problem? Why did we hear those tremors? Why did we have to be the ones to become Rangers? I don't want for me." Cain slams his fist into his hand.
"I don't… I don't know." Jayden sighs. "But you heard him, you're the black Ranger now. We have a responsibility to help."
"I know you're right… but I still don't want to do this." Cain continues his strict stand against being a Ranger with Jayden standing up and taking Cain's Morpher out.
"You may not want to, but apparently neither did the original Power Rangers. But you need to, and I hope you come to that decision." Jayden sets down Cain's Morpher and takes off running after Zeppeli and the others.
Cain looks over at the Morpher…
Meanwhile in the depths of a dimension unknown to regular men, the forces of the Onyx Empire gather to hear from their Emperor. Thousands of soldiers swarm around the dark castle as a monster begins to walk out. It's fangs reached well past it's mouth giving it a permanent snarl. It wore a white cape on it's back and it's large eyes complimented it's terrifying hunchback.
"It is I, Wiseman Anagara! For a long time I have been the voice of the Emperor to you, his loyal subjects! But now after what's felt like an eternity, he has returned! Let us embrace our Emperor with open arms!" The monster begins to shrink back away from the ledge as the legion of soldiers and monsters cheer for the Emperor.
The Emperor was draped in a long purple robe covering over some sort of black battle armor. Golden horns protrude from the skull-like head with a large green gem imbedded into the golden horns. "Hear me my loyals! Long have we been oppressed and sealed to this dark dimension by the humans! However, through your hard work and sacrifice we shall reign once again!" Cheers from those below barely reach the Emperor as he grins and continues to look down. "Prepare for a full assault of the Overworld! This is my decree, so make it so!"
The chanting of the Emperor began to get louder as people cheer for the war about to come with the soldiers running off to make preparations. The Emperor walks back into his castle being met by Anagara and his most trusted commanders. "Good master, good! Our forces are moving into position."
"Igamu, take a squadron of fighters and destroy our opposition." The Emperor commands this armor-clad woman who quickly nods and runs off with her orders. The Emperor then turns to a man with a large sword strapped to his back. "Vux… my most loyal and powerful subordinate, you shall take the ground forces with you. Apparently Zeppeli is still alive and has brought a new team of Power Rangers forward. Take the lieutenant that failed before with you as well, let him make up for his failed efforts."
Vux takes out the sword and bows, "It will be done my Emperor." He begins to walk off as the Emperor makes his way to his chair and sits down. Vux walks into the royal barracks finding Lieutenant Skullgem, the one who failed tied up to a cross.
"Please! Please! Commander Vux, I'll do it this time!" Skullgem pleads for his life with Vux grinning at his misery.
"The Emperor has been more merciful than I would, he has given you a second chance to destroy the Rangers." Vux gets closer to Skullgem and with one swipe of his sword cuts the magical bonds holding his arms and legs in place.
"Praise the Emperor! Bless his righteous rule!" Skullgem falls to the floor in praise with Vux grumbling under his breath.
Meanwhile Zeppeli pulls up into the courtyard of the large mansion he calls home. Jayden, Megan, and Paris look on in awe from the backseat while Ally tries to take everything in from the passenger seat.
"I never imagined I'd get to see something like this…" Jayden lets out a breath of awe as he looks at the size of the house.
"Same here, biggest house I've seen are those nice houses over near the Dairy Queen." Paris admits looking out the other window while Megan leans over him to see it as well.
"Listen up, we don't have much time to gawk. The Onyx Empire can strike at any moment and they'll know about you this time, we won't have surprise on our side." Zeppeli warns as the car comes to an abrupt stop at the front of the house.
"Buzzkill…" Megan pouts as they begins to get out of the car and walk up the stairs towards the door. The door swings open with Spencer standing there looking at Zeppeli with relief and then at Jayden and the others in confusion.
"Um, sir…?" Spencer questions as Zeppeli pushes past him.
"Later Spencer, the Onyx Empire has returned. We need to get these kids ready." Zeppeli begins to thrown open drawers searching through items as Spencer quickly walks over and grabs Zeppeli.
"What sir? These kids are who you chose for the braces?!" Spencer was in shock that his master would do such a thing as Zeppeli shakes him off. Jayden and the others awkwardly walk into the mansion.
"They heard it, they could hear the tremors Spencer. Do you understand how incredibly rare that is?" Zeppeli turns to the kids who just sort of stand there.
"Yes sir, but…" He looks over at them. "Children sir?"
Zeppeli puts his hand through his hair, "I know Spencer. Grab some refreshments for the kids, we'll be downstairs." Spencer reluctantly nods before walking off.
"I still don't understand, how did we hear those tremors?" Ally asks in confusion that was shared amongst all four of the new Rangers.
"I'll explain everything, I promise." Zeppeli gives a sigh of relief as he takes out a weird looking engraved rod. "The four of you, meet me downstairs."
The door suddenly swings open as Cain steps through, "Make that five of us." Jayden smiles at him which Cain nods at.
"Talk about a good entrance… whew." Paris jokes as all eyes return to Zeppeli who looks at Cain.
"Glad you made it…. Come on." Zeppeli heads down the stairs with the teens hot on his heels as they looks around with the corridor downstairs getting narrower with each step. At the end an almost medieval dungeon-like door stands with Zeppeli pushing it open and entering the room. Ally looks over at Jayden for a second with both of them exchanging a look of concern as they enter the room.
The room they enter however isn't what any of them expect. Designed more like a Zen garden, the room had a weird fountain in the center with the only seating being that of pedestals scattered around the fountain. There was large amounts of foliage covering the walls and ground. However, what was most bizarre to the Rangers was that there was highly advanced technology scattered across the walls with screens and sensors being just about the most advanced thing any of them had seen.
"I can say with confidence that I was not expecting this…" Ally retorts as she walks around in awe while Zeppeli places the rod he grabbed into the fountain. Suddenly the room's lights grow dimmer as the Rangers feel an intense presence surrounding them.
"Wh-what is this feeling?" Paris almost felt claustrophobic from how much this new presence was smothering him.
Zeppeli ignores him as he motions to each of the pedestals, "Each of you need to sit down." The group looks at each other and begins to make their way over the pedestals as they latch on and pulls themselves up and into a sitting position. "I will ask that you stay silent as I explain what's going on and what has happened to you," He looks around at everyone who give a silent nod. "30 years ago I managed to stop and seal away the Onyx Empire with the help of two friends who died during the fight. I managed to do this through the power of Aura, an energy that moves and flows throughout all of life. Some could call it a Grid or magic, it doesn't matter. The point being is that there are very few people in the world who can use this energy and even fewer who awaken that energy inside of them. What you all heard yesterday was the seal breaking that held the Onyx Empire at bay. This is what caused your Aura to awaken."
"And that's how you found us?" Megan asks curiously as Zeppeli shakes his head.
"No… you were all just as much a surprise to me as the monsters were to you," Zeppeli steps up onto a pedestal himself and looks at the team. "However, let me warn you. While Aura is infinite and vast, your bodies are not. Continued use of your powers can result in a feedback that will result in you losing your connection to the Aura. As the Aura Master Power Rangers you have the ability to withstand a lot, but you should never overdo it."
"So if we Morph too many times back and forth, we might just be unable to Morph ever?" Cain tries to wrap his head around it as Zeppeli nods.
"Your powers have bonded with you, but that doesn't mean they can't be lost." Zeppeli looks down a bit at that, but shakes his head and looks around at each of the Rangers. "Any questions?"
Paris raises his hand, "If the seal is broken, why don't they just attack the whole world instead of this one town?"
"Because of me. As long as I'm alive, the seal isn't fully broken and they're unable to exit the Underworld from anywhere else except this town." Zeppeli explains with Paris nodding as he processes that information.
"How do we summon our big robots, so we can kill that monster?" Jayden asks curiously just concerned they'll attack while they're unprepared.
"First off, they're called Zords and when they combine, they become a Megazord. Secondly, that's up to you." Zeppeli replies as everyone looks between each other confused.
"What? I thought you were going to teach us!" Cain wants to stand up, but the presence surrounding them still feels so potent that it's hard to move.
"I can't teach you what you're about to experience. This is something you all need to focus in on and work to achieve." Zeppeli reaches out his hands as a blue energy begins to flow into each of the Rangers. "Open your minds to what I'm about to show you," The group looks around at each other before closing their eyes and trying to focus. "Look into your color, look into your powers within. Show yourself what you have."
Jayden focuses in on the red color forming in his mind as he thinks on the feeling of the presence around him. He feels a surge of energy flowing around him as he looks deeper into himself. Almost like he was floating through an endless void of color, he begins to see a shape in the distance that starts to take form.
BEEP! BEEP!
A sudden alarm goes off knocking everybody out of their shared trance.
"What the hell?" Zeppeli mutters under his breath as the rest of the Rangers try to catch their breath. He runs over to the monitors and turns them on as footage of the Onyx Empire attacking begins to cover the screens. "Oh… oh no."
"What is it-?" Megan asks as the Rangers turn to see what is being shown on the monitor. "Oh…" The screen shows the lieutenant from before alongside Vux and a full platoon of soldiers behind them. On a separate screen, starfighters can be seen shooting down on the town below.
"We gotta go," Jayden says without hesitation as he hops off the pedestal no longer being held back by the presence. Paris, Megan, Ally, and Cain hops off their pedestals as well.
"You're not going anywhere! You still don't know how to summon your Zords, you'll be lambs to the slaughter!" Zeppeli shouts at the Rangers who look between each other.
"You said it yourself. We're Power Rangers now, we have a responsibility to save people." Jayden looks away from Zeppeli as he begins to charge up the stairs with the others quickly following behind him.
Meanwhile Vux laughs as he shoots a beam of electricity from his sword creating an explosion as it connects with a car.
"30 years! I've missed this for 30 years!" Vux shouts out as civilians run in terror as Soldiers run after them and begin grabbing them.
"Where are they? Where are the Rangers?!" Skullgem uses his large body to crash through the wall of a building generally just tearing things to pieces.
"Zeppeli wouldn't choose a bunch of cowards, they'll come." Vux says confidently as the sudden cries of tires scraping across the pavement can be heard heading towards them. "See?"
"Can you please go slower!?" Paris shouts from the backseat of Cain's truck as he just narrowly avoids a pothole.
"Yeah and get blown out of the sky by one of those fighters? No thanks." Cain smiles as he hits the front of his dashboard. "Besides, she can hold up."
"Uh, you sure about that? I'm a mechanic and this sounds like a mess to me." Megan comments also from the backseat.
"Y'know if the peanut gallery would like any more comments, just add—HOLD ON!" Cain suddenly shouts as a group of soldiers get in front of the truck and hold out their lances to shoot at it. Jayden holds himself down since he's in the passenger seat as he shields himself with one of his arms. Cain suddenly takes a sharp turn with the blaster fire from the lances going past the truck and exploding behind them. Ally lets out a scream as the truck rocks side to side from the explosion. Cain slams on the breaks with the truck coming to an abrupt stop. Cain is holding onto the steering wheel with clenched fists. "Admittedly not my best stop,"
"Come on guys, let's do this." Jayden nods at the team as they all shuffle out of the truck. Just as they're about to Morph, Vux, Skullgem, and more soldiers surround the truck.
"Glad you could join the party Rangers!" Vux declares pointing his sword at them. "Sorry we haven't met, I'm Onyx Empire's High Commander, Vux."
"Did we… get in over our heads here?" Paris quietly asks the others as they begin backing up against the truck.
"We just need to draw their attention so the civilians can escape. Surely somebody will show up, right?" Ally didn't sound nearly as confident as she wanted, but Jayden nods at her and stands in front of the team.
"Let's make it flashy then," Jayden smiles as he raises up his arm with the wrist brace on it. "Everyone ready?"
"Ready!" The other four shout back as they raise their arms.
"Aura Power, Charge Up!" The five Rangers are suddenly covered in energy as the suits form onto them immediately re-energizing them. However, Jayden steps forward and nods at the others.
"Aura Master, Red!" Jayden strikes a pose in front like the original Rangers did when they did their roll call.
"Aura Master, Black!"
"Aura Master, Blue!"
"Aura Master, Yellow!"
"Aura Master, Pink!"
"Power Rangers Aura Masters!" The five shout at the same time striking one last pose together as the soldiers continue to gather around.
"Destroy them!" Vux commands as suddenly all the soldiers go charging forward at the Rangers while Vux and Skullgem stay behind the soldiers.
"It seems like the plan worked," Megan comments in a bit of panic. The Rangers summon their weapons into their hands as they stare down the charging soldiers. Jayden charges first with his sword slicing through two of the soldiers and blocking an attack from another. Cain is right behind him sticking his staff into the ground and vaulting into the group of soldiers quickly shoving his arm across one of their necks. Megan holds tight onto her Aura Rotor channeling her Aura into it before it suddenly goes flying into the soldiers taking them out one-by-one. Ally barely dodges an attack from one of the soldier's lances before quickly wrapping the whip around it and yanking it out of their hand. Ally then turns and sharply cracks the whip against it's head.
"Get out of the way!" Paris calls out to the other Rangers as he slams his tonfas into the ground causing a blast of energy that breaks the ground apart and causes the soldiers to fall over themselves. Jayden quickly begins slicing and stabbing through the soldiers around him while Cain releases multiple attacks with his rod. Megan has her rotor shoot out hitting multiple soldiers and Ally lets out a final attack against the soldiers as she throws a giant piece of gravel at them with her whip. The Rangers let out a sigh of relief, but Vux suddenly holds out his sword sending a spark of energy at them which explodes causing the group to fall backwards injured.
"These were the Rangers that gave you so much trouble Skullgem?" Vux taunts his lieutenant as he begins to walk towards the fallen Rangers.
"Need to… move…" Jayden thinks to himself as he pushes himself up onto his knees and getting one leg under him. He looks over at the others who were struggling to do even that as Jayden manages to get fully back on his feet.
"Aha, so the leader shows his face. I shall personally destroy you. Take care of the other four Skullgem." Vux holds his sword up and charges at Jayden. It's all Jayden can do to get his sword up in time to avoid being sliced in two.
"With pleasure," Skullgem in all his hulking strength begins walking towards the others as Jayden kicks out pushing Vux barely back. Jayden looks over seeing his teammates barely moving as Skullgem gets closer, but as soon as he averts his gaze, he gets smacked across the face by the hilt of Vux's sword.
"Guys wake up!" Jayden calls out to them as he raises his sword to barely block another attack skidding back on the concrete.
"You can't help them now Ranger," Vux slices upwards breaking through Jayden's block and then quickly striking with sparks flying off Jayden's suit as he goes flying backwards. Cain's eyes begin to flutter as he sees Megan being picked up by Skullgem.
"Ah yes, you were the one who gave me so much trouble last time. You'll be the first one to die." Skullgem begins to rear back his fist getting ready to punch into the unconscious girl's face.
"Stay away from her!" Cain shouts as he jumps up and tackles Skullgem away from Megan. He takes his Aura Rod and throws it at Skullgem like a javelin, but it's easily deflected, and it falls against the ground. Skullgem grins creepily before charging at Cain rearing back it's fist only for it to be held back by a barely conscious Ally who managed to get her whip up in time.
"Why are you all so annoying!?" Skullgem shouts tugging on the whip causing Ally to go flying past him. Cain jumps up and manages to catch her midair.
"This… is not going well…" Ally says between breaths as Cain sits her down.
"What was your first clue?" Cain jokes as he grabs his staff again while Ally grabs her whip. Jayden meanwhile continues to get bombarded with attacks from Vux as he barely is managing to block each strike, not having the chance to retaliate.
"Are you truly the Rangers Zeppeli trained? You're a disgrace!" Vux raises his sword meaning to cut through Jayden, but Jayden suddenly jumps to the side throwing his sword past Vux slicing against his side.
"Trained?" Jayden smirks as he pushes himself up. "Who told you we were trained? We're just a bunch of kids fighting as desperately as we can to win, and that's what we're going to do! Humanity is gonna send your whole army right back to the Underworld!"
Vux laughs, "With what weapon? You're unarmed!"
"Am I?" Jayden says aloud with Vux pointing his sword forward.
"Let us see Red Ranger," Vux charges at Jayden raising his sword as Jayden just stands there when suddenly Paris jumps in front and blocks the sword attack with his Tonfas. Jayden then steps to the side of Paris and unleashes a devastating side kick into Vux that sends him flying back.
"Guess I wasn't as unarmed as you thought, huh?" Jayden smirks behind the helmet as Vux picks himself up.
"A little help over here!" Ally shouts out to Jayden and Paris as Skullgem charges at her and Cain who's trying to wake up Megan.
"Come on!" Paris tells Jayden as he rushes towards Skullgem with the intent of blasting the ground, but Skullgem quickly sticks his arm into the ground and throws the gravel at Paris to stop his attack.
"How are we supposed to get close to this guy!?" Cain shouts starting to feel frustrated as he looks past Skullgem who has started to charge again and sees Megan putting up a thumbs up. "Jayden, follow my lead!"
"You-?" Jayden looks to see Megan and he reluctantly nods his head. "Right behind you!"
"You don't have a chance!" Skullgem shouts at the two Rangers who begin charging at him with their weapons drawn. However, he suddenly feels a sharp pain in his back falling over.
"They may not alone, but we can do this together!" Megan declares from behind as her Rotor has slammed into Skullgem's back throwing him forward straight towards Cain and Jayden. Jayden and Cain strike through Skullgem with their respective weapons as Skullgem begins to spark. Ally suddenly wraps her whip around him and throws him into the air. Paris then jumps up and slams his tonfas into Skullgem causing a massive explosion that sends Paris back down to the ground. Skullgem falls pathetically against the ground with nothing more than a whimper.
"Pathetic…" Vux comments as he suddenly jumps through a portal and disappears.
"Good job Megan!" The team runs over giving her high fives with the group think they had won.
"I-I'm not giving up yet! I'll show you all!" The monster reaches behind himself and grabs a hold of the patch holding back his power. He rips it off and suddenly goes super-sized. "Now I'll destroy you, you pathetic Rangers!"
"Talk about over-compensating," Cain jokes as the team regroups.
"What are we supposed to do? We didn't complete Zeppeli's training!" Ally begins to back up as Jayden grabs a hold of her.
"We can do this; I believe in us. Everyone focus together and let's summon our Zords." Jayden tells everyone as they all suddenly grab each other's hands and try to replicate that feeling from before. Blue energy begins to swirl around the team of Rangers as they're flung into this sudden flurry of rainbow-like colors. Instead of being alone in looking at their own color, the team was back-to-back looking at this rainbow of colors with shapes beginning to form in front of each of them.
"You're wide open!" Skullgem shouts in his heightened state as he slams down his fists. However as he does, the Rangers all open their eyes at the same time and in a burst of energy they disappear. "They ran!? How dare they!"
"We didn't run skull-breath!" Jayden suddenly calls out as suddenly a rain of blast fire slams into Skullgem with a red jet flying past with Jayden letting out a little chuckle.
"Coming through!" Cain declares as his vehicle looks more like a black tank with a large drill on the front which rams into Skullgem cutting up his ankles as he falls backwards.
"I'll destroy you!" Skullgem slams his foot into the ground creating a shockwave that knocks Jayden out of the air and knocking over Cain's vehicle.
"Locked and loaded," Megan announces over the comms as missiles fly out of her jet and slam into the monster exploding on contact and causing him to stumble back.
"Right behind you," Paris activates these large cannons on the back of his armored vehicle which shoot out a continuous beam of energy at Skullgem causing explosions and sparks to fly off him.
"No! NOOO!" Skullgem cries out thrashing about as Ally comes in with her vehicle looking more like a helicopter as a series of bombs are dropped out of the bottom.
"Bottom's up Skullgem!" Ally declares as the bombs make contact with Skullgem and he explodes in a beautiful fashion leaving nothing but ash in his place.
"We did it!" Jayden shouts over the comms in disbelief as himself, Megan, and Ally fly past Cain and Paris.
"Of course we did it, we're the Power Rangers!" Megan declares excitedly as a sudden moment of silence begins to creep on them before Cain starts to laugh.
"Sorry Megan, that was too corny." Cain admits to her as she rolls her eyes.
"What she said was still true and we didn't win the whole war, just this first battle. But still, pizza at my place?" Ally offers as a resounding yes is heard from all sides of the radio.
Alone, Zeppeli watches from his house as the Onyx Empire flee from the new Power Rangers. "Good work everyone… but the challenge has only just started. The threats I foresee in our future… I apologize for bringing you into this."
