A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this took so long, but I've had a lot on my plate. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 6: Back Into Action
The six rangers waited patiently outside of Alpha's workshop. Although he had only been in there for less than 10 minutes, the situation in Angel Grove could not afford them any time to wait. At last, Alpha emerged holding a ray gun.
"This should do it.I've analyzed the sample and have found a way to reverse the effects. Hopefully, this will restore you to your proper ages."
"Hurry, Alpha. Photomare is wreaking havoc on the city."
Without saying any more, the rangers lined up in front of him to make Alpha's job easier. Carefully he pointed his ray gun at the six children and fired. Slowly but surely the laser worked its way up them, aging them as it went along. At long last, the six teens were back to normal. Carefully, they checked themselves all over to make sure nothing had gone wrong. Finding nothing out of sort, they started to celebrate.
"Alright, we're back to normal!"
"And I thought babysitting kids was hard. I forgot how bad it was being one."
"Rangers, although I am glad to see that you are alright, Now is not the time to celebrate. Photomare is attacking the park."
"We're on our way, Zordon. Ready, guys?"
"Ready."
"Alright, Its Morphin Time!"
"Tigerzord!"
"Mastadon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Sabretooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
With a flash, the were in the park, morphed and ready for battle as Photomare took note.
"You? You should still be snot-nosed brats! How?"
"That's for us to know and for you to find out, camera head!"
"Camera head? Oh, you're really pushing it, red! I think its time for your closeup."
"Be careful, guys. We've seen what this freak is capable of on the viewing globe."
"Right, Billy. Divide and conquer!"
Before the camera monster could react, Adam and Billy leapt at him, swinging their weapons at him and throwing him off balance. The two kept at him, Tommy and Rocky running in to help while Kimberly and Aisha shot at him to keep the pressure up.
At first, the rangers seemed to have the upper hand. While Zedd's monster was indeed strong, it was also bulky and cumbersome, allowing the much leaner rangers to evade his attacks with ease.
"Sorry, Photomare. Looks like its time for your photo finish."
"Not so fast, ranger."
As Tommy leapt forward swinging Saba, Photomare emitted a bright light, blinding all six rangers and causing them to drop their weapons in disorientation as the camera laughed.
"You were right, Tommy. This will be a photo finish: for you, that is! Say cheese!"
Kimberly and Aisha were the first to recover, struggling to their feet as their comrades stumbled blindly. Seeing that Photomare was readying his shot, the two formed an idea.
"Aisha, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Ready when you are, Kim."
Pulling out their respective weapons, Kimberly pulled back the string of her bow, where Aisha placed one of her daggers.
"Hey, camera head?"
Photomare turned to see the dangerous combination pointing at him.
"Say cheese!"
With a quick release, the dagger went flying, piercing the monster in his chest. While it didn't do much to hurt him, it damaged his equipment, shooting sparks out in all directions.
"No! My beautiful camera! You rangers are going to pay!"
The other four rangers, having gathered their senses, regrouped.
"Way to go, girls. Alright, time to scrap this thing!"
"Right!"
While Photomare spazzed out, the rangers brought out their Power Cannon, aimed and ready to blow.
"Ready? Fire!"
A mighty burst of energy shot out, hitting Photomare dead on. Sparks continued to fly as he stumbled forward, clinging to life. At last he gave in, falling to the ground and exploding as the rangers posed.
(Moon Palace)
"YOU INSUFFERABLE DOLTS! THIS WAS ALL YOUR IDEA AND YOU FAILED! NOT EVEN RITA COULD HAVE SCREWED THINGS UP THIS BADLY!"
Goldar and Scorpina jumped as Zedd shot lightning at them.
"But, my lord-"
"Its all Goldar's fault, master. I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen."
"You insufferable wrench! This was your idea, and you know it!"
"Well you could've talked me out of it."
"Why, you-"
"SILENCE!"
This time the bolts hit them dead on, sending the two flying back. Lord Zedd seethed in furry, not taking the events of the day well.
"This whole day has been a waste. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, NOW!"
Goldar and Scorpina wisely fled as Lord Zedd slumped over in his throne.
"I swear, I'm surrounded by idiots.
