Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Chapter 5
Meanwhile elsewhere in the universe the Astro Megaship was approaching Inquiris.
"So Decca what can you tell us about Inquiris?" asked TJ.
"Not much Rangers the inhabitants ask more than they reveal so we will have to be patient with them when we get their" replied Decca.
"Yeah we know that we were with Dimitria for almost a year, what can you tell us about the planet how much different to earth is it?" asked Justin.
"Sorry Rangers my memory banks don't have much information about Inquiris"
"Well at least tell us what you know" said TJ.
"Inquiris is the Forth planet in its star system and is roughly the size as the Earth, the Gravitational pull of Inquiris is 0.75% that of Earth, the average temperature of Inquires is 5 degrees warmer than that of Earth. The Atmosphere contains 75% Nitrogen, 10% Methane, 12% Carbon Monoxide, 2% Oxygen and 1% Sulphur Dioxide, which mean you will need to stay in your suits during your time on the plane unless in a specially adapted room that allows you to de-morph"
"Thanks Decca now how long until we reach orbit?" asked TJ.
"20 minutes until we reach communication range and 2 hours until we are orbit" replied Decca.
"Rangers there is something we have not told you yet about your new powers" said Alpha 5.
"Well what is it Alpha?" asks TJ.
"As you know you have your new Morphers and weapons but along with all that you also have a new Megazord at your command. It is called The Astro Megazord." said Alpha as he pressed a few buttons on work station he was standing at and an image came up on the monitor allowing the Rangers to see how to form the new Megazord and they could also see how powerful it. Alpha 5 continues "The Astro Megazord is even powerful than the Turbo Megazord by combining the NASA shuttle and the technology the Megaship is equipped with to form the Megazord."
"That's really cool!" said Justin.
"You can say that again" said Carlos.
"In addition to the new Megazord, you also have access to new travel gear called Galaxy Gliders. You can call on them by saying Galaxy Glider hang ten and you will ride them like a surf board through the stars." Alpha 5 said.
"Wow I can't wait to try that" said Justin.
"So Alpha, how do we dock the Megazord?" asked Carlos.
"The code is in the decoder box we bought from the Command Center and it will unlock the docking sequence, it's the first of the codes we are going to need for the mission then hop into the NASA ship and I will provide the rest of the help forming the Megazord." said Alpha 5.
"I can't wait to try it out" said Cassie.
"We are going to need a lot of help but the new Megazord and new technology we are going to need is good enough for now." said Ashley "I have to admit all this stuff couldn't have come at a better time when we would need it."
"I glad Zordon planned ahead" said Justin.
"Now Rangers any other questions before we land." asked Alpha 5.
"Not that we can think of" said TJ.
"Except how exactly do you fly the Galaxy Gliders?" asked Justin.
"That information will come to you automatically when you first use them" said Alpha.
"Well guys let's get down to business!" commanded TJ "Let's Rocket"
The 5 Rangers morphed and then stood there in their Astro Suits.
"We are descending now." said Alpha 5.
"So Teej, what's our first objective?" asked Justin.
"First we find out who's in charge and then talk to them about Dimitria's disappearance" replied TJ.
"Good idea but remember TJ the people of this planet speak in question." You're supposed to figure out the answer for yourself." said Alpha 5.
"Alpha's right it was hard to get use to for me Tommy Kat Tanya and Adam." said Justin.
"Either way we should still let them know even if it is so difficult to talk to them" said TJ.
"Good idea!" said Justin.
"Rangers we are within Communication distance of Inquiris" said Decca.
"Thanks Decca" said TJ as he and Justin opened Communication Channels with Inquiris.
"Hello this is the Red Power Ranger can I speak with the Leader of Inquiris" said TJ.
"Red Ranger to what do we owe the pleasure of you making contact I'm sure Dimitria would have gladly called us instead of you having to make the journey from Earth?" asked the Inquirian who answered.
"Actually Dimitria is the reason we have come, may we land and talk to you in person?" asked TJ.
"Of course you may I shall met you personally, does docking area 16 sound good to you?"
"Yes we shall see you their" said TJ as the communications ended.

An hour and a half later the Astro Megaship lands on Inquiris and as promised they are met by the leader of Inquiris.
"Welcome Power Rangers of Earth please follow me to my office so we can talk in private, I hope your journey hasn't been too arduous?" asked the leader.
"Not recently but when we started it was we had to fight of Divatox and her minions" replied TJ.
"Well at least you were victorious, so what is this reason that you came this far from Earth to talk about Dimitria?"
"Well you see she has been captured by the U.A.E." said Justin.
"How did this happen?"
"She was on her way to Eltar with the Blue Senturian when they were ambushed, they disassembled him and dumped him on Triforia thankfully Trey found him and had the parts sent to Aquitar and Billy one of the former Blue Rangers of Earth who is currently rebuilding him"
"Why was she on her way to Eltar we thought Zordon went back their?"
"He and Alpha 5 attempted to return to Eltar but they were also ambushed they deactivated Alpha and took Zordon, not long after Dimitria left Divatox sent a monster called Goldgoyle to Earth and he destroyed bother our Megazords but with the help of a dormant set of Zords we defeated him then we learnt that Eltar had fallen when the Phantom Ranger arrived and the Power Chamber with his power almost gone so we infused him with the remains of our Turbo Powers" said Justin
"Ok, thank you for letting us know and I hope you will be able to recover both Zordon and Dimitria before the U.A.E do something terrible to" the Inquirian leader was cut off as Alpha came it to the room.
"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi Rangers I just found this in the decoder box" said Alpha.
"What is it?" asked Carlos.
"It is information about other things Zordon left for if this sort of emergency ever happened" said Alpha.
"It looks like Zordon left schematics here on Inquiris on how to combine your weapons"
"That is right he did, but you must answer a question that only Zordon's Chosen will know, are you ready for the question?" asked the Inquirian.
"Justin you had better take this as Dimitria chose the 4 of us" said TJ.
"Yes I am ready" said Justin.
"The question is who created the Power Coins used by the first team of Rangers?" asked the Inquirian.
"Ninjor" Replied Justin after he thought about it for a few minutes.
"Correct here is the details of how to create the two weapons that can be formed from your personal weapons, now use them and please get Dimitria back for us?" asked the leader.
"We will do our best I promise" said TJ.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Meanwhile deep in space Divatox's ship had finally reached the planet Onyx where Dark Spector and General Havoc were waiting for her.
"Were you successful in your mission to destroy Lieria?" asked Dark Spector.
"Unfortunately not the Purple and Silver Rangers showed up as did that meddlesome Phantom Ranger" replied Divatox.
"Something is wrong then since Eltar fell he should have been out of Power"
"What if he found another Power Source?" asked General Havoc.
"Like what only good energy can power his suit and there are no other teams of Rangers apart from those two trouble makers in Purple and Silver" said Dark Spector.
"Then let's assume they powered him up with the energy from the fallen Gold Ranger" said Divatox.
"It would make sense since we did seriously injure that Gold one" said Havoc.
"Anyway I had to leave before the mission was successful because of the damage sustained to my ship during a sneak attack by those cowardly Rangers" said Divatox.
"That is why you will be given a new ship with more power than before and you will also be given command of the latest foot soldiers, admittedly the Piranhatrons were fairly ineffective these new soldiers are called Quantrons and are far superior fighters. Your first target now Eltar has fallen is to go to Inquiris and cut them off from the rest of the universe so they cannot help in any way" said Dark Spector.
"Excellent now I will destroy everything in our way"
"One thing Divatox I am assigning one of my top Generals to work with you his name is Ecliptor and he shall be waiting for you on the Dark Fortress your new ship"
"What about my old crew?"
"They will be there as well for whatever use they were"
With that said Dark Spector teleported away leaving Havoc to talk to his sister.
"Now Divatox this new ship took ages to build and most of the technology hasn't been tested yet so something's may take a few tries before they work perfectly" said Havoc.
"I will test it then and send any poor results to you for any changes that you want to make" said Divatox as she enters her new ship and sets course for Inquiris.
Ecliptor approaches Divatox as she climbs aboard the Dark Fortress "Welcome Queen Divatox, we've been expecting you."
"So you must be Ecliptor Dark Spector did say you would be assisting me" said Divatox.
"Your old crew will join you along with myself and the army of Quantrons. Shall we tour the ship?" said Ecliptor.
"Of course!" said Divatox.
"Can we come to?" asked Elgar.
"I suppose so just try to keep up" said Ecliptor.
"But first before we begin I would like to provide a few regulations. Rygog will now share second in command duties with you Ecliptor. Porto will continue as my technical advisor creating all scientific related plans for the mission and creating suitable technology. I'm not leaving Elgar out of my sight for too long. You and Rygog will select an elite battalion of soldiers to bring with us." said Divatox.
"As you wish although all the Quantrons are a strong as each other they are all built to the same specifications" said Ecliptor.
"On with the tour while we are on course for Inquiris." said Divatox.
"Follow me I will show you the control room first then explain the weapons systems" said Ecliptor.
"Please do General." said Divatox.
After a few minutes they arrived at the control room and Ecliptor showed them the console that fired the Dark Fortress's weaponry and how they made monsters grow.
"Is there anything else you would like to know in the Control Room before we move on?" asked Ecliptor.
"No thanks but maybe save some surprises in case of an emergency." said Divatox.
"As you wish my queen." said Ecliptor.
"On our way to Inquiris." said Divatox.
"Yes my queen the ship is underway and we should reach Inquiris in a few hours. Do you have a plan of how we will attack them?" asked Ecliptor, before adding "If you don't I would be willing to demonstrate my abilities"
"I can manage with coming up with a plan after demonstrating your abilities." said Divatox.
"So what is the plan my Queen?" asked Ecliptor.
"We'll detect if any Power pests are on the planet then i will send you and your armies to attack them then find a way to knock out their communication systems." said Divatox.
"Excellent idea your majesty then the planet won't be able to call for any help when we attack" said Ecliptor.
"Now show me your best abilities." said Divatox.
"As you wish, I look forward to reaching the planet and demonstrating what I am capable of"
"All this new stuff may not be good enough, when we go to defeat the Power Rangers?" said Rygog.
"Soon Rygog and I guarantee that with the help Divatox and General Havoc will receive will be well worth the wait." said Ecliptor.
"Very well then, I will see to it that the General pays you well. But I guarantee that Divatox will not take another defeat lightly after the amount of times the Rangers were victorious over her." said Rygog.
"I assure you Rygog that with the Earth Rangers gone and the Gold Ranger possibly gone as well we will easily defat the three Rangers that are still around and then we will move on to the next Planet with any connection to the Power of Zordon" said Ecliptor.
"Very well, I expect you to follow my lead as we will be sharing duties from now on." said Rygog.
"Of course and I expect the same from you if I am in charge of certain missions" said Ecliptor.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
A few hours later the Dark Fortress had arrived at Inquiris and not knowing there were Power Rangers on the planet sent down a Squadron of Quantrons and Ecliptor himself lead the ground assault.
"All right you bunch of question asking scum surrender now to the UAE and I might let you live long enough to see Dimitria killed then the rest of you will follow" said Ecliptor as he fired laser blasts out of his sword before signalling for the Quantrons to attack anything they saw.
In the Inquirian leader's office an Alarm was sounding and on the viewing screen was Ecliptor and the Message he called out was being repeated.
"What am I supposed to do about this?" asked the Inquirian leader.
"Don't worry we will take care of this" said TJ as he and the rest of the Rangers left the office and soon made their way to the attack sight.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"Stop what you are doing" called out TJ as they reached the attack location
"Why should I" replied Ecliptor.
"Because we are the Power Rangers and we will stop you"
"Ha you are no threat to me, Quantrons attack the Power Rangers" called Ecliptor.
The Quantrons attacked the rangers and soon Justin, Carlos, Cassie and Ashley were separated from TJ who was fighting Ecliptor their swords were countering each strike as they fought and it appeared they were pretty even in swordsmanship. Meanwhile the other Rangers were finding the Quantrons were a serious step up from the Piranhatrons they had fought before they had managed to group the Quantrons together and then remembering the new blaster they had been shown could be created from their weapons.
"Guy's let's form the Quadra Blaster" said Justin.
"Right" said Carlos, Cassie and Ashley.
They formed the Quadra Blaster and blasted the Quantrons defeating them and then regrouping with TJ and together they attacked Ecliptor and forced him to bag track before coming at them again firing lasers from his sword at them.
"Lightning Sword full power" called TJ and as a Lightning bolt hit his sword and in a Flash a Red light and covered the whole sword and as TJ swung the sword downwards a Red energy wave left the sword and hit Ecliptor.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Meanwhile up in the Dark Fortress Divatox was watching the fight and was impressed the Ecliptor was able to keep getting back up from whatever the Rangers hit him with, but as she saw the impact of the Rangers last attack she could tell they were on par with the power Ecliptor had.
"Aunt Divatox are you going to help him before the Rangers defeat him?" asked Elgar.
"I would if I knew how to make him grow" said Divatox.
"Well we do still have a few left over growth missiles from the old ship" said Rygog.
"Excellent load one and fire it" said Divatox.
Rygog got a few Quantrons to help him load the Torpedo and then they fired it towards Ecliptor.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
The Rangers were growing in Confidence at the amount of damage Ecliptor had taken then knew he would soon be defeated but they hadn't expected to see one of Divatox's growth missiles hit Ecliptor making him grow.
"Alpha we need the Astro Megazord" called TJ.
"Coming right up Rangers" replied Alpha, as he activated the ships Megazord mode. The Megazord arrived and the Rangers jumped into the Megazord and struck a battle ready pose.
Ecliptor used this opportunity to attack with his sword and dealt damaged to the Megazord, the Rangers quickly responded by using their own Saber and attacked Ecliptor.
Ecliptor got back to his feet and said "Impressive Rangers but watch this"
Then in a flash there was suddenly seven Ecliptor's standing their instead of one.
"Now there seven of them" said TJ.
The seven Ecliptor's all charged their swords and swung them down hitting the Astro Megazord twice causing more damage.
"Which one is the real one?" asked TJ.
"Justin which one do we attack?" asked Carlos.
Justin scanned the monster then said "Go for the middle one"
"Thanks Justin, Astro Megazord Saber full power" said TJ.
The Astro Megazord Saber glowed yellow as it swung down and hit the seven Ecliptor's destroying the copies leaving just the one Ecliptor.
"Not bad but it will take more than that to defeat me" said Ecliptor.
"Let's try it one more time Justin power the Saber up" said TJ.
"Already on it TJ" replied Justin then a few minutes later he said "Ready TJ"
"Thanks Justin. Astro Megazord Saber full power" called TJ the Saber made contact dealing some heavy damage to Ecliptor.
Before Ecliptor could be destroyed he says "Thank you Rangers for giving me a taste of the power you possess I'm sure it will come in handy the next time we meet and I promise that will be a different result" The Ecliptor vanished.

"What do you call that you failed Ecliptor" said Divatox.
"No I did not in fact I gained useful knowledge of their strength and what power that machine of theirs is capable of dishing out. These will all assist us in coming up with a strategy to insure that the Rangers are defeated. One problem though my queen is that there was five of them and not the three that you reported before, so is it possible that the Rangers defeated your monster and found a new power source?" asked Ecliptor.
"No I saw the video feed of the Rangers Megazords being defeated by Goldgoyle without them they would stand no chance of defeating him" replied Divatox.
"I suggest we inform Dark Spector about what we have found so he is aware of the current situation"
"Go and inform him Ecliptor" said Divatox as she walked away.
