Chapter Thirty Eight

Kapri, Marah, Janessa, Vexacus, Shimazu, and Mandilok appeared in the street and saw peoples running away panicking.

"It's time to trash this place!" Vexacus blasts at cars and peoples that were running away. Soon enough, Shimazu, Janessa, and Mandilok join Vexacus and attacked anything that in their way.

Marah and Kapri glance at each other with hesitation when the others weren't looking before they attacked also because they knew that if they don't attack, the others including Lothor will get suspicious of them.

"Stop!"

Kapri, Marah, Janessa, Vexacus, Shimazu, and Mandilok looked and saw the Wild Force, Time Force, and Ninja Storm rangers appear in front of them.

"Well, well, look who came out to play," Vexacus smirked.

"Dustin" Marah muttered when her eyes landed on the yellow wind ninja ranger. In her mind, she really wants to rushed over there and hug him, but couldn't especially in this situation. She notices the look that he was giving her. It wasn't a surprise look at all. It was a hatred look, which made Marah realizes that Dustin assumed that she's Fake Marah and that he's seeking revenge.

Kapri on the other hand was staring at Hunter who was staring back at her with a surprised look. She knew she has some explaining to do.

"Prepare to be destroy, rangers!" Mandilok added.

"Mandilok!" Cole points at Mandilok. "Prepare to be destroyed".

"Bring it on!" Mandilok taunted.

The mask figure person aka Janessa stepped forward and aims her sliver staff at the rangers and blasts them.

They immediately try to get out the way, but most of them got hit and landed on the ground.

"Alyssa!" Cole rushes over to Alyssa side. "Are you okay?" He helps her up.

"Yeah, I think so," Alyssa replied

Eric helps Taylor up while Blake and Hunter help Dustin, Tori, and Cam. Shane on the other hand lunges at Vexacus.

"Kelzaks!" Vexacus shouted and the Kelzaks appears in front of him, blocking Shane. "Attack!" he ordered.

"Let's help Shane," Hunter said.

"Right!" Dustin, Blake, Tori, and Blake nodded and follows Hunter while the other rangers following right behind them.

Shane, Cole, and Wes team up and fight Vexacus.

"Hawk Blaster!" Shane aims and blast at Vexacus who dodges out the way.

"Nice try red ranger, but you missed".

"Chrono Sabers!"

"Huh?" Vexacus looked up and saw Wes in the air. Wes swings down at Vexacus, slashing him in the chest.

Then Cole appears and whacks Vexacus repeatedly in the stomach with his Lion Fang.

Alyssa, Tori, Danny and Max were fighting the Kelzaks using their weapons: Baton, Shark Fighting Fins, and Bison Axe while Merrick, Zen-Aku and Cam take on Shimazu.

Merrick and Cam charge at Shimazu to attack him at the same time.

"Saber Mode!"

"Green Samurai Saber!"

Merrick, Zen-Aku, and Cam slash at Shimazu, who only laughed and disappeared.

"What?" Merrick exclaimed as he and Zen-Aku looked around confused.

"Where did he go?" Cam wondered.

Shimazu's giant head appears and attacked the three of them, blasting lightning at them.

"Cam!" Tori rushes over to help, only to get blast in the chest by Shimazu's giant head.

"Quantum Defender!" Eric aims and blasts at the mask figure person who blocks it with her sliver staff. "Let's see how you feel getting blast by your own attack!" She reflects the blast right back at Eric.

"What!" Eric exclaimed as he slightly back away with a startle look.

"Thunder Shield!" Blake ninja streaks in front of Eric and blocks the blast. "That was a close one," He turns and looked at the Quantum ranger "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Eric taps Blake's shoulder "Thanks".

The mask figure person lunges at Blake and Eric and leaps in the air.

"Watch out!" Eric warned and pushes Blake out the way. The mask figure person swings her leg at Eric who caught with his hand. He twists her leg, only to get kick backward by the other leg.

He landed on the ground on his back as he stares up at the mask figure person "Man, that was good. I didn't expect that". He got up and get into his fighting stance. "But, I can still kick your butts" he added and then yelled as he ran toward the mask figure person.

The mask figure person and Eric fight as Blake pulled out his Thunder Blade. He rushes over to help Eric, but suddenly stopped when he notices that some of mask figure person's fighting skills was from the Thunder Academy.

"How did that mask figure person learn those moves?" Blake can't believe what he was seeing. "Only students from Thunder Academy can learn those moves. That impossible! Unless..."

Eric got slashes in the chest by the mask figure person's sliver staff and landed in front of Blake.

"Eric, Are you okay?"

Eric groans as he sat up, grabbing his chest in pain "Yeah, I'm still fight". He tries to get up when Blake stopped him.

"Eric Don't, you too injure to fight, let me handle this"

Blake ran toward the mask figure person and swings his Thunder Blade.

Hunter was fighting with Kapri. Their swords collide together with their faces near each other.

"What are you doing, Kapri?"

Kapri glances around making sure the other rangers were keeping Lothor's goons busy. Then she turns to Hunter "Trust me, I'm only pretending to fight you because Lothor is watching me. I don't want him to get suspicious of me or Marah".

Hunter nods and was relieves to hear that Kapri is still good and was only pretending to fight him and the rangers. Also, that would mean that Marah was also pretending too. Speaking of Marah, Hunter realizes something and his eyes widen.

"Oh no!" he gasped.

"What?"

"Marah".

"What about Marah?"

"She's fighting Dustin, isn't she?"

Kapri gasped when she realizes what Hunter was talking about it "Oh no, Dustin probably think Marah is Fake Marah".

"Exactly, he might even try to destroy Marah for revenge," Hunter points out. "He took Marah's death pretty hard.

"No," Kapri placed a hand on Hunter's arm, "We must stop him".

Kapri can't bear to lose Marah again. She almost lost her sister once before and now she is about to if she doesn't stop Dustin. She was about to walked way, but Hunter grabs her back.

"Wait, you can't," Hunter squeezes her hand to let her know that Lothor's goons might be watching especially Lothor. "I'll go".

"Wait, but you must do something first".

"What is it?"

"Attack me".

"What!" Hunter shook his head "No, I won't" he refused.

"You have to or else Lothor will know about my betrayal. Me and Marah would be in danger".

"But..."

"Hunter, please," She gave him a smile. "I'll be okay," she assured him.

Hunter sighs "Okay," He looked down for a moment before he shoves her away and slashes her in the chest with his Thunder Staff

"Ah," Kapri shrieks as she landed on the ground on her stomach.

Hunter stretches his hand out toward her and was planning to rush over to her, but realizes he couldn't. He tightens his fists "Sorry Kapri. I promise I'll make it up to you". He thought before he took off to find Dustin.

XXXXX

Dustin swings his sword at Marah who blocks it and kicks him in the stomach, but it wasn't a hard kick. It was merely to make him to tumbling backward and away from her. He landed on the ground on his back as he stares up at her.

Taylor was flying the air toward Marah.

"Huh?" Marah looked up and saw Taylor, but it was too late because Taylor swoops down and slashes her in the chest back and forth with her claws.

"Ah!" Marah landed on the ground on her stomach.

"Gold Eagle Sword!"

Marah quickly dodges out the way before she got slash again. Taylor landed in front of Dustin and helps him up. "Are you alright, Dustin?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, thanks Taylor"

"No problem".

"Alright, it's my turn".

"Go for it," Taylor touches Dustin's back.

Ninja Sword Gold, Dirt Blade!" Dustin called as he thrusts his sword into the ground and pointed it at Marah, but before he releases his attack, it got block by a Thunder Staff.

Dustin looked up and was confused and shock to see Hunter. "Hunter! What do you think you are doing?"

"Dustin, don't do or else you will regretted".

"Hunter, let's go," Dustin retorted. "I need to destroy her".

"Why seek on revenge, Dustin".

Dustin growls. "Have forgotten already, Hunter?" He points at Marah. "She was the one who destroyed Marah, the person I care the most about".

"Huh?" Taylor looked back and forth at Dustin and Hunter. "Wait, did Dustin lose someone close to him?"

Hunter really want to tell Dustin that the person he was about to destroy was actually Marah, but he couldn't. "Dustin, listen to me," he try to get through to his friend. "Revenge is not the answer. Marah wouldn't want you to do this. Don't let anger cloud your mind".

Dustin suddenly stopped struggling when he realizes Hunter was right. Marah would never want him to do this. What was he thinking?" Did he actually let anger take control of him?" Hunter let go of Dustin when he notices that Dustin was not struggling anymore and was quiet.

"Let's go help the others, Dustin".

Dustin slightly nodded and following Hunter. Taylor starts to walk away, but stopped and glances at Marah.

"Something is not right," She blinks her eyes confused. "Shouldn't she be attacking us? Why didn't she?" What going on?"

Taylor wants to go over to Marah and asked her, but knew the others need her so she ran off to catch up with Dustin and Hunter.

XXXXX

The rangers regrouped as Lothor's goon regrouped.

"Are you guys ready to surrender?" Shane asked.

"Never!" Shimazu growled.

"I don't think so," Vexacus added.

"Dream on, you fools," The mask figure person glares at the rangers.

"You make me laughs" Mandilok sneered.

"We will never surrender," Kapri points at the rangers with an emotionless expression. Blake glances over at Hunter and whispers "What Kapri think she's doing?"

"It's call acting, bro," Hunter whispers back with sarcasm.

"Attack!" Vexacus shouted as he and the others lunge at the rangers when Motodrone appears in front of them. "Motodrone, what do you think you are doing?"

"Lothor orders all five of you to return to ship except for you Mandilok," Motodrone turns to Mandilok. "He wants you to destroy the rangers".

"Fine," Vexacus agreed and teleports back to ships with the mask figure person, Shimazu, Kapri, and Marah.

Mandilok turns to the rangers and laughs "Now, it's time for me to destroy the rangers!"

"I don't think so," Shane charges at Mandilok, only to get blasts in the chest.

"Shane!" Tori and Dustin rushes over to him.

"Are you okay?" Tori asked as she and Dustin helps him up.

"Yeah, I'm okay".

Eric ran out and blasts at Mandilok with his Quantum defender, but Mandilok blocks it.

"No way!"

"Hm, Quantum ranger," Mandilok smirked and blasts a black mists at Eric in the face.

"Ah!" Eric grabs his face.

"Eric!" Taylor rushes over to him.

"Mandilok!" Cole leaps up in the air and attack with Lion Fang when he also got hit by the black mist in his face.

"Ah!" Cole shouted as he fell to the ground.

"Cole!" Wes and Alyssa with Danny, Max, and Merrick rush over to Cole.

"No! Stay away!" Cole shouted.

"What!" Danny looked at Max confused,

"Cole, are you okay?" Alyssa asked.

Cole got up and turns to the rangers "No, I can't control myself!" He aims his weapon at the rangers.

"Cole, what are you doing?" Merrick asked.

"I can't control myself!"

"Eric?" Taylor touches Eric's shoulder when she got punch in the stomach.

"Ah!" Taylor landed on the ground and looked up at Eric, wincing in pain while grabbing her stomach. "Eric, what are you doing?"

"Taylor," Eric aims his Quantum Defender at her "Get away from me, now!"

"Eric," She slowly got up. "No, I'm not going to leave you".

"We need to do something," Blake said as he looked over at his teammates.

"Blake is right," Cam agreed. ""We need to destroy Mandilok before make us destroy each other".

"How?" Dustin turns to Cam. "We can't get near him without getting hit by his black mist which turned us bad".

"I got an idea," Shane answered and turns to Blake. "Blake, I need to borrow your Thunder Shield, if that's okay".

"Sure!" Blake gave his Thunder Shield to Shane.

"Hunter, Merrick, Wes, I need you guys to come with me".

Merrick, Wes, and Hunter nodded and walked over to Shane who told them his plan. A minute later, Shane turns to Dustin, Tori, and Cam.

"You guys stay here and helps Cole and Eric," he told them.

"Good luck, Shane," Cam touches Shane's shoulder.

"Go defeated that two mouthed monster," Dustin extends his hand out.

"Sure will," Shane clasps hands with Dustin.

"Be careful,' Tori added before Shane, Merrick, Wes, and Hunter took off toward Mandilok.

Shane ran toward Mandilok and called upon his battalizer and went into Flight Mode. "Battalizer, Laser Engaged. Fire!" He yelled as he shot a large beam at Mandilok who got hit in the chest.

Mandilok growls and glares at Shane "YOU!"

"Hey Mandilok over here," Hunter ran toward Mandilok with his Thunder Staff raise.

Mandilok blast his black mist at Hunter who blocks it with Blake's Thunder Shield.

"Chrono Sabers!" Wes slashes Mandilok from behind.

"Laser Pool…Lunar Break" Merrick yells, summoning his Wildzords and finish off Mandilok.

"What! No!"

Merrick launches his Animal Crystals like billiard balls and aim at Mandilok. "It's over Mandilok!" He said before he shots his Animal Crystals balls.

"NOOO!"

The Animal Crystals Balls hits Mandilok in the chest and he collapses to ground exploding to bits.

Eric and Cole collapse to the ground and Alyssa and Taylor rush over to them.

"Eric," Taylor kneels down in front of him "Are you okay now?"

He looked up at her and gave her smile that lets her knowing that he's okay. Then he pulled her into a hug which she responds back to.

"Cole!" Alyssa kneels down in front of Cole.

"Alyssa!"

Alyssa was happy to see that Cole is okay that she literally hugs him.

Shane landed on the ground as Dustin, Cam, and Tori rush over to him. "You did it Shane!"

"Arrgh!" Lothor growls and release a scroll of empowerment and Mandilok appears again in a huge form, startling the rangers.

"Looks like Mandilok return back for another round," Dustin points out.

"Look out!" Alyssa shouted.

Mandilok was about to stomp the rangers when he got blasts from behind.

"Huh?" The rangers looked up confused and saw Mandilok tumbles to the ground.

"Look! Over there!" Tori points at the some thing in the sky.

A smile appears on Wes when he realizes something.

"Is that..." Dustin begins, but got interrupts by Wes.

"They're my friends," Wes answered.

"It's the Time Force Rangers," Alyssa smiles as she got up with Eric.

The Time Force Rangers was riding on the Time Jet that was piloted by the Pink ranger. They jump off of it and landed in front of the rangers.

"Thought you guys might need some help," Pink ranger spokes,

"Jen," Wes rushes over to her and hugs her.

"Uh?" Eric taps Wes and Jen shoulders "I hate to interrupt this reunion but there a giant monster that we need deal with it".

Shane touches Eric's shoulder "We can take it from here," he told them before contacting Cyber Cam.

"Cyber Cam, we need the zords!"

"On their way," Cyber Cam replied.

Shane, Dustin, Tori, Cam, Blake, and Hunter leap up into the zords, "Storm Megazord,

Thunder Megazord, and Samurai Star Megazord. They immediately combine their Megazords together forming the Hurricane Megazord.

"Wow!" Max remarked.

"Cool!" Danny added.

"Amazing!" said Trip who was amazed at the Hurricane Megazord.

The Hurricane Megazord fight with Mandilok for awhile when Mandilok manages to knocks the Hurricane Megazord to the ground separating back to the Storm, Thunder, and Samurai Megazords. The arms of Storm Megazords fell off to the ground.

"Blake, are you okay?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah, fine," said Blake whose Zord had just been severely damaged.

"Is everyone alright?" Dustin asked.

"Yeah," said Tori, "I think so."

"Shane! Are you okay?" Dustin asked.

"I'm okay," Shane answered, "But our zords are not," he added.

"We need to help them," Alyssa turns to Cole.

"Yeah, but our wild zord is..."

Suddenly the swords were glowing "What's this," Cole stares at his sword. "The wild zords... they want to help".

"Alright, we can call them into battle!" Max beamed.

"Wild Zords, descend!" Cole called.

The Wild Force rangers was on the flying Soul Bird getting ready to form the Wild Force Megazord when Cole heard Red Lion speaking to him.

"Guys, Red Lion said we should use the Shark and Tiger Wild Zords to help the rangers.

"Yeah!" Danny said.

"It's worth a shot," Taylor said.

The Soul Bird merged with the back of the Thunderstorm Mega, and then the rangers ran to different cockpits. Merrick apparently joined Cam in the Samurai Star.

"Shane, listen to me. You've got to combine with our zords," Cole said.

"Okay" Shane agreed "Let's see what we can do,"

"White Tiger!" "Blue Shark!" Alyssa and Max called out to their wild zords.

The Wild Zords replaced the fallen arm and the present arm. Then Alyssa called the Elephant Zord to form:

"Thunderstorm Megazord: Sword and Shield Mode!"

"Hurricane Pachyderm Crusher!" all the rangers shouted out together.

The Elephant's sword crushed Mandilok destroying him for good.

"Yeah!" The Ninja rangers and Wild Force rangers cheer as they clasps hand with each other.

"Alright! They did it!" The Time Force rangers cheer from the ground as they watch the Wild Force and Ninja Storm rangers defeated Mandilok.

TBC: Yay, they defeated Mandilok. Review and tell me what you think.
