Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Chapter 4
It had taken Karone and Zhane nearly 4 hours but they had managed to fix the Engine and were now back on the Bridge trying to send a Message to Aquitar to see if they could assist them in repairs to their ship. But before they were able to get through to Aquitar they received a distress call from Lieria.
"Anyone who can hear this please help us we are under attack Divatox has returned to try and finish us off"
"Zhane we have to help" said Karone.
"Agreed you never know we might even find the other Rangers there" said Zhane
Karone set the controls for Lieria and sent a response message letting them know that help was coming and then they took off as fast as they could, before Karone programmed the Auto Pilot and both she and Zhane began repairing the weapons systems ready for a fight when they reached Lieria.

Meanwhile on Lieria Divatox had sent her army down to Lieria to capture Lerigot
"Capture Lerigot he must not be allowed to interfere with Dark Spectres plan" said Divatox.
"Yes my Queen" said Rygog.
The Piranhatrons along with Rygog were searching everywhere on Lieria for Lerigot.
Lerigot meanwhile was making sure his family were safe and then he was going to try and contact Alpha on Earth and ask him for help, but before he could the cave he was in was rocked by a huge impact from one of Divatox's Torpedoes.
"Lerigot come out and Surrender yourself before we destroy the Cave as well as you and your Family" said Divatox.
"Uhm Aunt D the Radar has identified a ship approaching the planet"
"Well find out what it is Elgar" said Divatox.
"Right" said Elgar as he ran the scans through the ships computer and found a match.
"Uhm Aunt D it's the Delta Megaship"
"Impossible that ship should have been destroyed"
"Well that's what the scans identify it as"
"RYGOG HURRY IT UP WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE COMPANY" screamed Divatox.

10 minutes later
"Zhane there is Divatox's ship we need to hurry before they spot us" said Karone.
"Quickly activate the cloak and hope it fully covers the ship otherwise we are in trouble" said Zhane.
Karone activated the cloak and manoeuvred the Delta Megaship into attack position
"Aunty D they have activated their Shields?" said Elgar as the Delta Megaship vanished.
"Well where is then?" asked Divatox.
"It vanished when it activated its shields"
"You idiot Elgar they cloaked they haven't raised their shields"
"Why would they do a thing like that?" asked Elgar.
"So they can try and get a tactical advantage" said Divatox realising what was going on before screaming "RAISE THE SHIELDS"
But it was too late and a laser blast from the hidden Delta Megaship damaged the system that would activate the Shield.
"We can't Auntie D that blast disabled the Shield"
"Then fire all torpedoes in a random firing pattern and hope we hit them then we can get a proper target lock on them"
"Right firing all torpedoes"
The torpedoes launched and the shockwave of the explosions managed to find Delta Megaship and damaged the Cloak causing part of it to fail.
"Zhane the Cloak is failing" said Karone.
"I know target the lasers at the Engine of Divatox's Space Craft we will try to incapacitate them or force them to retreat" responded Zhane.

Meanwhile down on the planet.
"Lerigot you may as well give up we have already destroyed the Turbo Rangers you helped to create and unless you want the end for your family you had better surrender" said Rygog.
Lerigot was hidden safely in a Cave could hear what Rygog had said and was concerned that he other friends were now powerless, but despite this concern he could do anything that could jeopardize his family any more.
"Come on Wizard this is your last change or else we will fire all of our Torpedoes at the Planet and destroy it" said Rygog again before his communicator went off.
"Rygog return to the ship we are under attack"
"Right Divatox" said Rygog as he turned to the Piranhatrons and said "Find Lerigot and destroy him while I return to the ship"
The Piranhatrons nodded understanding their orders as Rygog teleported away.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
As Rygog rematerializes on the ship a large blast rocks the ship knocking Rygog off his feet as the transporter explodes.
"Get us out of here after Porto has sent a monster down to Lieria" said Divatox.
"Monster on its way down my queen" said Porto.
"Good now hit it with the growth torpedoes"
"Growth torpedoes fired" said Elgar.
"Good now set course away from here before the ship is to badly damaged" said Divatox.
The ship moved off as Karone and Zhane saw the monster on the surface destroying towns and cities on Lieria.
"We need to stop it before it destroys everything" said Karone.
"Right transform the ship into Delta Megazord mode" said Zhane
"Right and lets suit up" said Karone.
"LETS ROCK IT" they both called and pressed the numbers 2580 before morphing into their Power Suits.
The Delta Megazord landed and came face to face with the monster which looked like a giant metallic ant that walked on two legs.
"What is that thing?" asked Karone.
"No idea" replied Zhane .
"I AM TERMINANT AND I WILL DESTROY AT THE REQUEST OF MY QUEEN DIVATOX" said the monster revealing its identity.
"Karone fire the Giro Blasters at it lets defeat it quickly and get down there and see what we can do to help" said Zhane.
Karone fired the Giro Blasters but they had no effect on the monster.
"Zhane the blasters had no effect" said Karone.
"Damn" said Zhane as he headed to the engine room to try and boost the power.
The Delta Megazord aimed a fist at Terminant who blocked it and responded with a shot of its own knocking the Delta Megazord to the ground, then it stamped on the Megazord in an attempt to do more damage.
Karone grabbed the foot of Terminant and using all the strength she could muster in the Megazord pushed the foot back over balancing the monster and it fell on its back.
"Zhane what other weapons does this Megazord have?" asked Karone.
"Uhm a Sword and a Canon if the Giro Blaster did nothing then I suggest that you try the Sword and I'll try to add more power to the Megazord"
"Ok Delta Megazord Saber activate" said Karone.
A Sword appeared in the hand of the Megazord and as the Terminant monster got back up Karone swung the sword and this time actually seamed to do some damage to the Terminant but it soon became clear that whatever damage the sword had done was superficial.
"Is that the best you can do I thought the Power Rangers were supposed to be stronger than that"
"…"Karone didn't have an answer she didn't know what to do to defeat the monster.
Terminant took advantage of this and once again knocked the Megazord to the ground this time ejecting both Zhane and Karone from the Megazord.
"We need to do something if that thing destroys the Delta Megazord we lose Andros and I'm not losing my brother now" said Karone.
"I have an idea but it's risky" said Zhane.
"What is it we might as well try it otherwise we will lose"
"Ok we get back aboard the Delta Megazord then you transform back to ship mode and I will take my Galaxy Glider and try to distract Terminant while you hit it with the Delta Megaships Lasers" said Zhane.
"Well I guess we have nothing else to try, let's do it" said Karone
The two of them re-entered the Delta Megazord and Karone transformed it back to it ship form and Zhane quickly reached a Jump shoot that took him to his Galaxy Glider
"Karone I'm in position" said Zhane through the ships on board communicators.
"Ok good luck Zhane and please stay safe" said Karone.
"I will, no need to worry" said Zhane as he pressed the button to release his Galaxy Glider.
Once he was clear he called out "Super Silverizer Blaster mode" and once that was done he flew round the back of the monster and fired his Silverizer at it to distract it while Karone aimed the lasers and fired as well and between them they managed to cause damage to Terminant.
"That did some damage" said Karone.
"Yeah let's do it again then you re-form the Delta Megazord and hit it with all the power we can from the Delta Mega Cannon" said Zhane.
"Right"
After another round of laser fire from Zhane's Super Silverizer in its blaster mode and the Delta Megaship Terminant was in finally starting to look beat, Zhane continued to rain down laser blasts from his Super Silverizer while Karone formed the Delta Megazord and powered up its Cannon she charged it with power from everywhere except the chamber that was keep Andros alive and from the bridge and then in one huge blast the energy was released and blew the Terminant monster to shreds.
"Finally we did it" said Karone.
"Yeah thankfully we managed to defeat that thing" said Zhane before adding "I'm on my way back to the ship once I dock and get to the bridge we will teleport down and find Lerigot"
Karone opened the docking port and Zhane docked with the Megazord and headed for the bridge but just as he reached it he heard Karone say "We're in trouble"
Zhane looked out the window of the Megazords cockpit and could see the Monster rebuilding itself.
"What do we do now?"
"I don't know"
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Meanwhile on Aquitar the Phantom Ranger had De-morphed and was assisting Billy in repairing the Blue Senturian while Billy was running scans on the Phantom Rangers Morpher to check how stable the power infusion had been by the Turbo Rangers.
"It appears Justin is just as knowledgeable as I, the infusion of Turbo Power was done correctly and as such shows very small detrition if I could locate a Zeo Crystal that is not in operation it would insure the powers never fade but I doubt you will have any serious power lose unless it is a stress full fight"
"Thank you Billy I appreciate that and next time I see Justin and the other Space team I will thank them for the sacrifice of their powers so I can keep mine"
Before either man could talk more Delphine came to the lab.
"Pardon the interruption but we are detecting a faint message from Lieria asking for help"
"If Lieria falls so could my powers I'm going to help them"
"I understand and may the Power Be With you"
"I call on the power of the Morphin Grid Phantom Power Activate"
The Phantom Ranger jumped in his ship and set course for Lieria.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
5 minutes later on Lieria Terminant was back together and ready to attack the Delta Megazord until it was hit by a powerful laser blast from nowhere.
"Hit it with a fire based attack" said a strange voice.
"Delta Megazord Saber fire mode" called Karone and Zhane together.
They swung the fiery blade at the monster and this time it disintegrated and showed no sign of rebuilding its self.
"Thank you" said Zhane and Karone to nobody and not expecting an answer.
"You are welcome Rangers as the saying goes once a Ranger always a Ranger so what can I help you with?"
"Actually you just did with helping us take out the monster now maybe you would like to introduce yourself" said Karone.
"I am the Phantom Ranger. And who are you?"
"I am the Purple Space Ranger" said Karone.
"And I am the Silver Space Ranger" said Zhane.
"So what are you both doing here?" asked the Phantom Ranger.
"We responded to the call for help and managed to get Divatox to leave and we damaged her ship but she left that thing to destroy us and then destroy the planet and thanks to your help we managed to defeat it" said Zhane.
"And after that we were going to go down and see if we could help in any way, do you want to join us?" asked Karone.
"I won't be able to as I have to help another keeper of the power" said the Phantom Ranger.
"Oh ok then well good luck with that and may the power protect you" said Zhane.
"Thank you and may the power protect both of you as well" said the Phantom Ranger as he got in his ship and flew off.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Karone and Zhane teleported down to Lieria and found Lerigot and after taking care of the left over soldiers Divatox had left behind they reunited him with his family and helped remove a few trees that had been up rooted by Terminant and helped plant some new ones. After all this was done they talked to Lerigot and learned several things about the Turbo Rangers but unfortunately Lerigot also told them the information would only be useful for the first team of Turbo Rangers since all but one member of the team changed after receiving their powers. So after a few hours where they received help from the Lierians in repairing their ship they once again thanked Lerigot and headed back into space to see if they could track down Divatox.
"Karone keep the emergency channels open you never know we might find the former Earth Rangers are helping another planet that is being attacked" said Zhane.
"Right I will set that up now" said Karone as she engaged auto pilot while she made the changes the communication systems.
"Well Zhane the emergency channels are online as we speak and I'dm going to log onto our computers Morphing Grid Network to see if we can find any information on the Turbo powers Zordon has given to former Zeo Rangers Tommy, Kat, Tanya and Adam that we are going to need besides the information we now have from Lerigot. You contact Commander back at the colony and tell him our situations" said Karone.
"Good that means we have everything under control, Commander Kinwon will be glad to know but he will also be concerned when he finds out about Andros" said Zhane as he opened communication channels to the KO-35 rebels.
Karone walks up to the ship's computer and says "Computer please tap me into the Morphing Grid Network."
"As you wish Karone." Replied the computer, before it made several different noises to indicate it was loading and finally it said "Morphin Grid Network activated please input Team name you wish to search for"
"Search Zeo Rangers please" said Karone.
"Searching for Zeo Rangers" said the computers voice then after a few minutes the computer said "Zeo Rangers Powered by the Legendary Zeo Crystal Tommy, Adam, Rocky, Tanya and Kat became the Zeo Rangers and the final team of Rangers that Zordon saw through to a time when their powers needed upgrading to fight off the forces of Divatox. The Zeo Rangers primary enemy was the Machine Empire although they did face monsters created by Rita and Lord Zedd as well"
"This does not make sense." Karone wondered aloud "Why would Zordon change powers? The Zeo Crystal is said to be one of the greatest sources of power in the universe."
"The answer to the question is not available as the required information has not been added to my memory banks" said the computer.
"Impossible the Morphin Grid is supposed to tell all information." said Zhane.
"Computer please begin research on the Turbo powers as well as proof that Lieria is the source of its power. Then show me blue prints of the suits, zords, weapons and possibly recent photos of the five new Rangers."
"Searching for Turbo Rangers" after a few minutes the computer spoke again "The Turbo Powers were bestowed on 4 of the 5 Zeo Rangers the complete history of this team is unknown as no former Turbo Ranger has updated the file with info on their team after Tommy, Kat, Adam and Tanya were replace. The Powers were created by Zordon and modeled on Lerigots golden key, the Change of Power was necessary to permit the Rangers to enter the Nemesis Triangle after Divatox went there to release Maligore the twin Brother of Dark Specter"
"Twin brother?" said Karone and she gulps "This seems suspicious."
"Karone I have made contact with Commander Kinwon" said Zhane.
"Have you told him about Andros Yet?" asked Karone, then she thought maybe Commander Kinwon might know something about this improbable Twin brother?
"I did but we need to tell him about Zordon and Dimitria." said Zhane.
"Ok we should do that together plus i have something else to ask him that just came up in the Morphin Grid Network" said Karone.
"Karone sorry about Andros? Is there anything you would like to say" said Commander Kinwon.
"Thanks Commander Kinwon and if i know my brother he will pull through it will just take time" said Karone then she remembered the Twin problem. "Commander do you know if Dark Spector has a twin?" she asked.
"No I don't" said Commander Kinwon.
"Before I tell you how we have terrible news to report. Planet Eltar has recently fallen to Dark Spector's armies. What's more he now has Zordon as well as Dimitria of Inquiris" said Karone.
"Yes we felt the loss of Eltar, but it is terrible to hear that Zordon and Dimitria have been taken prisoner, we must hope that the Rangers they chose are able to defend the planet Earth and do justice to the memory of their mentors until they can be rescued" said Commander Kinwon.
"As a matter of fact, a few months ago, The Zeo Rangers who became the Turbo Rangers passed on their powers to 4 new Rangers and the 5th Ranger remained as the Blue Ranger. We are now going to search for the possible back up plan Zordon may have had for us in case a crisis like this were to happen. We are looking for the new Rangers as well. They could be our only hope of survival." said Karone.
"Well then you must try and find them Karone and you never know they may be looking for you as well" said Zhane before adding "By the way Karone what did you just say about Dark Spector having a twin brother?"
"Well according to the Morphin Grid Network Dark Spector has a Twin called Maligore" said Karone.
"Maligore that name sounds familiar." said Zhane "It must be what Andros asked when we were investigating the conference on the Cimmerian planet"
"Maligore was the great flame of Destruction he was imprisoned on a hidden island on Earth that could only be opened by Lerigots golden key" said Commander Kinwon who was listening to the conversation.
"So that's what Divatox wanted with Lerigot" said Karone "Continue Commander"
"Galactic rumor said that Lerigot went to Earth to seek help from Zordon in dealing with Divatox, they combined their powers and created the Turbo Powers and gave them to the former Zeo Rangers so they could travel through the Nemesis Triangle to stop Divatox after she forced Lerigot to hand himself over" said Commander Kinwon.
"So that's how Divatox's attacks on Earth began?" said Zhane "I'm not surprised one little bit Rita Lord Zedd and the Machine Empire's attempts to conquer that planet were just the opening act"
"Yeah but it still doesn't help us find the Turbo Rangers?' said a frustrated Karone.
"Well maybe you should see if the Computer can come up with something useful." said Zhane before adding "Commander we have discovered that the former Zeo Rangers Tommy, Kat, Tanya and Adam transferred the Turbo powers to four new Rangers as Karone told you a minute ago. Do you have anything concerning Dimitria that could be helpful?"
Karone headed back to the computer to begin searching once more while listening to the other conversation as well.
"Well we did contact Inquiris and inform them that she had been taken and then we asked if they required any assistance but they just kept asking questions back and everything kind of ended in a stalemate until they left quiet quickly as is if something had just arrived" said Commander Kinwon.
"Well that's what people from the planet do they ask Commander? When was the first time you went to the planet?" asked Zhane.
"Not important Zhane, to elaborate on the Turbo Powers, The powers are drawn from the vehicles that people of Earth call automobiles, cars if you prefer built from Eltarian technology with more than enough power to fight Divatox's monsters." said Commander Kinwon
"Oh" said Zhane.
"But why couldn't the Zeo Powers have defeated Divatox?" asked a confused Karone
"We don't know why exactly but we believe that with the success of stopping the Machine Empire's plans to invade Earth the Zeo powers became rendered useless after all it was believed that there would be no more bad guys. We don't really know and in truth only Zordon himself knows the answer." said Commander Kinwon.
"I'm on the computer loading up more Turbo info but it's slow on loading up who the Zeo Rangers chose to take over as their successors. However, I have discovered Dimitria has been assigned to mentor Tommy Oliver who you may recall from the Morphing Grid started as the Green Ranger and the other former Zeo Rangers before the power transfer." said Karone.
"So what do propose we do Karone go to Earth and ask Tommy who he gave the Turbo Powers to?" asked Zhane.
"No what i am saying is we go to Tommy and ask him to update the Morphin Grids files with everything he knows, then ask him to keep an up to date catalogue of every Team of Rangers to have been given their powers" said Karone.
"Karone I wish I can agree with you on this but there's a lot more work to be done before we can head to Earth besides what do we even know about Earth other than it was Zordon's home for over 10,000 years since the end of his first conflicts with Rita?" asked Zhane.
"Nothing except it's been a great target for all the rest of these tyrants" said Karone.
"Karone has a point Zhane with you knowing so little about the second Turbo Rangers of Earth, going there may help you to get in their heads and find them sooner" said Commander Kinwon.
"Our top priority Commander is search throughout the galaxy for the backup plan Zordon has left for us in case a situation like this were to ever happen, also just before he left for Earth he said all the help we will need will be revealed in time we must find it so we can stop Ecliptor before he returns to destroy the colony." said Zhane
"Zhane please just listen for once if you thought Ecliptor was going to come and finish us off then why did you leave, also when Zordon said he would leave a backup plane for if this type of event happened there is a good chance he would have left clues with in Command Center on Earth" said Commander Kinwon.
"There's also something else you may want to consider. Without Andros we are half strength and we need a temporary leader to replace him until he is healed" said Zhane.
"Well there's only one Zeo Ranger left. I suggest we seek help from Trey of Triforia."
"Very well since we are temporarily going to need help of the Ranger champion touch and I don't know how long you and the other Kerovians are going to remain unprotected.£ said Zhane "We also may need help from the original Blue Ranger of Earth Billy since he's been living on Aquitar for a year now."
"then i suggest you head to Triforia and collect Tray then contact Billy and see if he can help' said Commander Kinwon then he added 'don't worry about us we will survive after all we are the only survivors the U.A.E probably believes weren't a threat at the moment"
"I hope so Commander." said Zhane.
"Computer please make a homing data card of Tommy Oliver that will help us locate him." said Karone.
"I shall begin work on the data card at once and shall inform you when it is ready" said the computer.
"While the computer is doing that i shall set course for Triforia" said Karone.
"Well I hope this idea of yours works Karone" said Zhane.
"If Andros was part of this conversation he would agree to seek help from the Zeo Rangers" said Karone.
"Be careful you two and may the power protect you." said Commander Kinwon.
"Thanks Commander" said Karone as the Delta Megaship headed for Triforia.
AN 2: Well that's it for this chapter, I would like to know from the clues given in this chapter what planet do you think the person inside the Phantom Ranger suit comes from?
