Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Chapter 8
Meanwhile many light-years away the Astro Megaship was heading away from Inquiris and the 5 Rangers were sitting in the Control room wondering what was going to happen next in their search for Zordon and Dimitria, but the silence was starting to get too much for TJ.
"Hey Justin can I ask you something?" asked TJ.
"Sure TJ what do you want to know" replied Justin.
"Well I was wondering what you could tell us about the Rangers before us" said TJ.
"You know about them though remember Tommy, Tanya, Adam and Kat" replied Justin.
"Actually what I meant was could you give us their back story as Power Rangers" asked TJ.
"Well I can only tell you what Tommy told me about the previous incarnations of the Rangers" replied Justin.
"That will do then we at least know how these other Villains fit in to the Power Rangers history and how they operate" said TJ.
"Ok then the story begins with Rita Repulsa she was the first being to attack the Earth, Zordon sensing her arrival chose 5 Rangers to fight her and they were Jason the Red Ranger, Zack the Black Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger, Trini the Yellow Ranger and Kimberly the Pink Ranger the 5 of them fought bravely and managed to beat the monster Rita sent after them. Rita who was by now frustrated that she hadn't been able to defeat the Rangers decided to create her own Ranger and that was Tommy. Tommy arrived in Angel Grove after transferring from a different school and immediately began a friendly rivalry with Jason as they were both as skilled as each other in Martial Arts, Rita saw this and decided to test Tommy by sending some Putties after him and Tommy fought them off alone and after that Rita teleported him to the Moon and gave him the Green Rangers Power Coin" said Justin.
"Wow so Tommy started off Evil?" said Carlos.
"Yeah he did but thankfully he became good in the end" replied Justin.
"So what happened next?" asked Cassie.
"Rita ordered Tommy to destroy the 5 Rangers that had made her life a misery and he nearly did he severely damaged the Megazord to such an extent that the Rangers thought the Megazord was gone he also cut of the Rangers connection to Zordon" replied Justin who stopped as the alarm went off.
"Ai Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi" said Alpha 5.
"Alpha what is it?" asked TJ.
"Look at the monitor." said Alpha as the Rangers turn on the screen.
On the monitor was the image of a Planet that was in the grips of what appeared to be a server Electrical storm.
"I hope that planet in uninhabited otherwise this could be a serious problem" said Justin.
"Unfortunately the Planet is inhabited and they appear to be sending out a distorted transmission asking for help from some sort of creature" said Decca.
"Divatox must have sent down a monster to attack that planet." said Alpha.
"We have to stop it before it destroys the whole planet single-handedly." said Ashley.
"Decca set a course and get us there as fast as possible" said TJ.
"Right you are TJ" replied Decca.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Meanwhile on the Dark Fortress Divatox watches the planet being attacked.
"HA, HA, HA this is great Voltage Hog is doing exactly what I wanted it to do and with no pesky Rangers to interfere we should be able to finally add this planet to the U.A.E" said Divatox.
"You have to thank me for that your majesty for suggesting the monster." said Ecliptor.
"That is true well done Ecliptor you are so much better than my idiot nephew" said Divatox.
"I heard that!" said Elgar.
"Well any time you have taken on the Rangers you got defeated with ease and even that 12 year old kid held his own against you before he even Morphed" said Divatox in annoyance.
"Well most of the time was with the Divazords." said Elgar.
"Enough you overgrown sardine." said Ecliptor.
Elgar left the room muttering to himself that he is being treated like rubbish by his own Aunt.
"How about me my queen I picked out some of the monsters in the past year?" said Porto.
"Yes you did Porto and you have proven your worth to my Army, but the Rangers still managed to beat your monsters back.
"Oh well at least I still get to do some work around this new ship." said Porto.
"Now Your Majesty as you are aware along with your new methods, the Satalasers are equipped with the technology to make your monsters grow to magnificent size." said Ecliptor "Whenever you need Voltage Hog or any of your other monsters to grow, I or Rygog will provide the help by firing the lasers."
"What sort of Lasers are they?" asked Divatox.
"They called Satalasers." said Ecliptor.
"Good name and thanks for telling me Ecliptor they will become useful if the Rangers show up" said Divatox.
"Whenever you need your monsters to grow, I shall fire them for you." said Ecliptor.
"Good to know" said Divatox.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"Justin while we are on our way to the Planet can you continue the Ranger history story please?" asked Cassie.
"Sure thing" said Justin as he followed on with "Eventually Billy and Alpha 5 were able to bring Zordon back and they realised that Rita had control of Tommy with the used of the Sword of Evil so while the Rangers fought Tommy Jason managed to knock the Sword out of Tommy's hand and while the other 4 Rangers were distracting Tommy Jason destroyed the Sword with his Blade Blaster which broke Rita's hold over him and Tommy became good and joined the Fight against Rita. The Green Ranger Powers that Tommy had were only temporary so when Lord Zedd arrived to replace Rita for her failure to defeat the Rangers and he started off well his first Monster destroyed the Megazord causing the Rangers to have to create New Zords called Thunderzords, well except for Tommy. Zedds next target was Tommy and Lord Zedd quickly succeeded in draining all of Tommy's power, even so Tommy still fought off Zedd Turban Shell monster without his Powers. After a while Lord Zedd's attacks began to take a toll on the team so much so that Zordon decided to create a New Ranger the White Ranger was created but Zordon needed someone who was capable of holding the Power and understood the danger they were taking so he chose Tommy. Not long after that Jason, Zack and Trini were chose to represent California at a Peace conference in Switzerland which ment that the team needed to find replacements for them.
Luckily around the same time Rocky, Adam and Aisha arrived in Angel Grove they had arrived from Stone Canyon and were due to participate in a Karate tournament against a team or Ninja's, but Lord Zedd had seen how good they were and wanted to use them to become his evil Rangers so he kidnapped them and their teacher, thankfully the Rangers saved them and in return they would help fight Zedds Putties which are different Rita's as they have a Z on their chest and that is how you defeat them by hitting the Z. Anyway back to the main point Zordon revealed that the Rangers would need a Powerful Sword to transfer the Powers of Jason, Zack and Trini to three others those being Rocky, Adam and Aisha. So the Rangers went to an abandoned planet to find the Sword but Lord Zedd chased after them in Serpentera which was his own Zord that looked like a huge Dragon, the rangers found the Sword just in time as Zedd used Serpentera's power to destroy the planet. The Rangers returned to the Command Center with the Sword and Zordon revealed Rocky, Adam and Aisha were the three chosen to replace Jason, Zack and Trini, not long after that Alpha had picked up a call from help from Edenoi which is where the Alpha units as robots were built their they met the Masked Rider and helped him fight off Count Dregon then not long after the Rangers returned to Earth Rito showed up" said Justin.
"Who was Rito?" asked Carlos.
"Rito was the brother of Rita Repulsa and with him he brought new henchmen so instead of Putties the Rangers had to fight Tenga warriors they were like giant Birds that were human like, anyway back to the story Rito destroyed the Thunderzords which also cracked the Power Coins causing the Rangers to ask Zordon where the Power Coins came from. Zordon revealed that they were created by a being known as Ninjor and that they had a map that supposedly lead to the hidden location of Ninjor's temple so with no other way to stop Rito the Rangers went in search of Ninjor's temple and thankfully they found it just as the Tengas attacked and the Rangers were only just able to hold them off, before the Tengas got stuck because they couldn't fit through the entrance way that lead to the temple of Ninjor.
Eventually the Rangers managed to convince Ninjor that they were ready to receive the Power of Ninja, after a short ceremony where the Rangers were told to channel their spirit Animals the powers infused each Ranger. Tommy had the Power of the Falcon, Adam had the Power of the Frog, Rocky was the Ape, Kimberly was the Crane, Billy was the Wolf and Aisha was the Bear. With the New Zords the Rangers were able to defend themselves against Rito which caused Rito to go to another Galaxy for help, While Rito was away Rita and Zedd managed to find the location of Ivan Ooze's Hyperlocked Chamber and they released him Ivan's first attack was devastating he disabled the Rangers Connection to their Zords and even Ninjor couldn't fix it so Zordon and Alpha sent the Rangers to a Planet called Phaedos the legend of Ninjor said that he once spent time on the Planet so the Rangers decided to go and hope that there was something there that could allow them to access their Zords. The Rangers encountered a woman called Dulcea who lead them to the remains of the Ninja temple and showed them how to tap into the Ninja parts of their powers, with these new powers Dulcea pointed the Rangers in the direction of the Monolith where the power to help them unlock their Ninja Zords was waiting for them. On their way to the Monolith the Rangers were again attacked by the Tengas that Ivan had powered up but thanks to their new Ninja abilities the Rangers quickly defeated the Tengas. Once the Rangers reached the Monolith they found it was guarded by four stone guardians and the Rangers had to defat them in order to show they were worthy of the power, they managed to defeat the guardians and the Monolith opened revealing the Greatest gift the Rangers could have hoped for New Zords. It was that that Dulcea appeared in front of them and said 'Rangers because of your heart and now with the power you have inside you can activate these Shogun Zords' Dulcea also explained to them why there was only 5 Zords when there were 6 Rangers and told them it was because the Falcon Zord could also join with the Shogun Megazord. The Rangers returned to Earth with their new Shogun Zords and defeated Ivan. Justin stopped the story there as TJ wanted to say something"
"So we're not the first Rangers to head into Space?" asked TJ.
"No not by a long way" replied Justin.
"Does Phaedos still hold any Power?" asked Carlos.
"Yes it does in fact the Monolith Powers can never be taken away even with the Power Coins being destroyed that used those Powers" said Alpha.
"Huh you never mentioned that Justin?" asked Cassie.
"That's because we haven't got their yet" said Justin.
"Hey Alpha how long until we reach the Planet?" asked Ashley.
"We are approximately an hour away" said Alpha.
"That's good now let's get back to the story" said Justin before continuing "Tommy was the first to meet the next addition to the Ranger team it was Kat and she started her life as a Ranger similar to Tommy since Rita had placed her under a spell and used Kat to steal Kimberly's Power Coin which again rendered the Ninja Megazord useless in battle since it couldn't be called so the Rangers had to use the Shogun Megazord. Eventually though Kat saw what she was doing was wrong and managed to break Rita's control over her and stole the Pink Power Coin back from Rita returning it to Kimberly, that was also when Kim decided to leave the team since she had been chosen to compete at the pan global games. Kim decided that Kat had proven herself enough that she handed her Power Coin to Kat and allowed Kat to take her place as the Pink Ranger. Not long after that another new villain arrived Master Vile, Vile was the father of Rita and Rito. When Rito had taken gone to another galaxy it was to get his father and then destroy the Rangers. Master Vile struck with enough power to destroy the Ninja Coins which sent both the Ninja and Shogun Megazords into a hibernation period at the same time he turned the Rangers in to Children forcing them to go on a hunt for the shards of the Zeo Crystal which had been sent to different times in the past and also different countries. Zordon meanwhile had contacted the Power Rangers on Aquitar and they came to help until the Rangers found the 5 pieces and Aisha had sent Tanya to replace her after there had been a viral outbreak among the livestock so Aisha stayed behind and used her veterinarian knowledge to help treat the outbreak. Once the Rangers reconnected the Zeo Crystal sections the Rangers were returned to the right size and Master Vile retreated threatening that one day he would be back" said Justin stopping as TJ wanted to ask something.
"So is every main villain the Rangers fight related to this Master Vile?" asked TJ.
"No Ivan Ooze wasn't and the next one wasn't, Divatox does know Rita but I have no idea how friendly they really are" said Justin.
"So what happened next with the Zeo Crystal?" asked Cassie.
"After the Rangers returned to the right size they thanked the Aquitian Rangers for their help and watched as the Aquitian Rangers teleported back to the own Planet. Zordon congratulated the Rangers on finding the parts of the Zeo Crystal and saving Earth once again. Then the Alarm started to sound and the Viewing Globe showed Rito and Goldar planting bombs under the Command Center, so Zordon had Alpha teleport the Rangers to a safe distance in case Rito and Goldar were able to blow up the Command Center. Unfortunately they were able to blow up the Command Center in the wreckage Tommy found the Zeo Crystal and as he lifted it up which lead the Rangers to a hidden Chamber under the Command Center that had escaped the blast and there were Zordon and Alpha both safe. Zordon explained that the Zeo Crystal would be the basis for their new powers but since there was only 5 colours someone would miss out and Billy decided that it was time for him to give up his power and instead he helped from the Power Chamber by creating new weapons and Zords that the Rangers could use to fight their newest foe, King Mondo lead the Machine Empire to Earth and his Cogs were a step up from any foot soldiers previously seen. Billy and Alpha had wasted no time working together they created the Zeo Morphers and as they were handed out the Zeo Crystal split and infused each Ranger Tommy became the Red Zeo Ranger, Adam was the Green Zeo Ranger, Rocky became the Blue Zeo Ranger, Kat was the Pink Zeo Ranger and Tanya became the Yellow Zeo Ranger. After a few months a Gold Zeo Rangers started to appear and was finally identified as Trey from the Planet Triforia, Trey was the embodiment of three different Personalities Trey of Heart, Trey of Wisdom and Trey of Courage. But when he experienced trouble controlling the three personalities within Trey offered the Power to Zordon so he could find someone worthy of holding the Powers until Trey was able to control his three personalities again, so in the end Tommy said he knew who should take the powers and went to find an old friend Jason came back and accepted the power of the Gold Ranger. In the End the Zeo Rangers were able to defeat King Mondo and the Machine Empire driving the remains of their Empire into hiding, but it is a fair bet they are back and combined their Power with the UAE. After that it was time for the Rangers to Graduate High School but before they could do that a new villain arrived Divatox and because Divatox was able to find a way to enter an alternate dimension here on Earth the Rangers needed a power upgrade so the Turbo Powers were created. While this was going on though Rocky was in Hospital he had injured his back while training for a Martial Arts tournament and a new Blue Ranger was needed, I had snuck into the Hospital to see how Rocky was doing when the other Rangers came into see him so I hid under the bed and found out they were the Rangers and because of this Rocky sent me to the Power Chamber as his replacement we made our way to Muranthias which was in the hidden dimension that Divatox had accessed and on the Island was a beast called Maligore we managed to defeat him and that's pretty much the end of the Story" said Justin.
"Wow so there have been different configurations of Rangers throughout the last 6 years but they have always done the right thing" said Cassie.
"Yeah and its making me wonder if we did the right thing leaving the Earth defenceless" said TJ.
"TJ I wouldn't worry about that the earth always has Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster plus there are the Zeo Rangers they can always Morph and do whatever they can until we get their" said Justin.
"True so how far is it until we get to this planet?" asked Carlos.
"We are just entering orbit and their appears to be a Space station in Orbit on the opposite side of the Planet" said Decca.
"Rangers it would be advantageous of you to take the Galaxy Gliders down their then we can monitor the Space Station and see if it is Evil or if the people of the Planet launched it" said Alpha.
The Rangers headed for the Jump tubes and stood in position before activating their Morphers and jumping through the tubes and heading to the Planet on their Galaxy Gliders.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
The Rangers land on the Planet and head straight for Voltage Hog.
"Oh no it's the Power Rangers" said Divatox.
"What do you propose we do my Queen?" asked Rygog.
"Send down and Squadron of Quantrons to keep them away from Voltage Hog" said Divatox.
"At once your majesty" said Ecliptor.
Ecliptor then went over to the computer and pressed the button that sent a squadron of Quantrons down to the Planet to try and stop the Rangers from reaching Voltage Hog.
Meanwhile down on the Planet the Rangers were suddenly stopped from getting closer to the monster by the Quantrons.
"Divatox has sent Quantrons" said TJ.
"Rangers lets spread out and defeat them" said Justin.
After Justin said that Carlos, Ashley, Cassie and Justin fought the Quantrons giving TJ a clear path to reach Voltage Hog and to attempt to stop him from absorbing any more electricity, as TJ approached the monster Voltage Hog sent a blast of Electricity at TJ knocking him down.
"Hey TJ are you ok?" asked Carlos.
"I am for now but hurry up and finish off the Quantrons, I don't know how many more blast like that I can take" said TJ.
The Rangers did as they were told and the battle continues.
The Rangers managed to take out most of the Quantrons and there was only a few left.
"Guy's go and help TJ I'll finish the Quantrons off" said Justin.
"Good idea Justin" said Ashley as she along with Cassie and Carlos rush to help TJ.
Justin fired his Astro Blaster at the Quantrons and managed to defeat most of what was left but the last one he had to call on his Astro Axe to defeat.
"Hurry Justin let's form the Quadra Blaster." said Carlos.
"You got it Carlos." said Justin.
Justin made his way over and the Rangers put their weapons together creating the Quadra Blaster and firing it at Voltage Hog destroying him.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
On the Dark Fortress Divatox and Ecliptor were watching the fight and had just seen Voltage Hog get destroyed.
"I think it's time we give the rangers a taste of what new tricks I got up my sleeve." said Divatox.
"Yes Your Majesty." said Ecliptor.
"FIRE THE SATALASERS" said Divatox.
Ecliptor pressed the button to activate the Satalasers which fired down on the planet and caused Voltage Hog to be revived and to also grow forcing the Rangers to call for the Astro Megazord.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"Ai Yi Yi Yi Yi, Divatox must have a new way to make her monsters grow!" Alpha 5 shouted.
"Alpha we need the Astro Megazord quickly" said TJ.
"Ai Yi Yi Yi Yi, Decca hurry and transform into Megazord Mode the Rangers need our help" said Alpha.
"Yes Alpha." said Decca as the Astro Megaship transformed into its Megazord mode.
"Rangers the Megazord is ready" said Alpha.
"Thanks Alpha." said TJ as the Rangers teleported from the ground into the control area of the Megazord.
The Astro Megazord moved towards the Voltage Hog monster ready to attack it only for Voltage Hog to blast the Megazord back with a bolt of electricity.
"Wow that thing sure packs a punch" said TJ.
"I recon the power came from the electricity it has absorbed" said Justin.
"So how do we beat it?" asked Carlos.
"We need to find a way to drain the energy from the monster before we attack it" said Justin.
"How do you propose we do that?" asked TJ.
"I have an idea but it is risky" said Justin.
"What is it?" asked Cassie.
"I'm going to take my Galaxy Glider and while you guy's distract the monster I will come up behind and turn off the power supply feeding it then it will lose energy and we can defeat it" said Justin.
"Let's do it, but with one small change Justin you and Ashley go to do that just in case Divatox has left any guards down there at the Power station Voltage Hog is absorbing power from" said TJ.
"Right let's go Ashley" said Justin as the two of them headed towards the jump shoots.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
Ashley and Justin had reached the Power station and found a battalion of Quantrons waiting for them.
"Uhm Justin?" asked Ashley.
"Astro Blaster time lets wipe them out then we can disconnect Voltage Hog" said Justin.
"Right" said Ashley as the two Rangers working together quickly took out the Quantrons.
Justin went straight for the computer to try and find a way to disconnect Voltage Hog.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"No that little brat of a Ranger and his accomplice are going to ruin everything" said Divatox.
"Aunt Divatox please let me go down there and deal with that Blue brat he has embarrassed me for the last time" said Elgar.
"Fine but if you fail me one more time Elgar I will make you scrub the dungeons with a toothbrush" said Divatox.
Elgar left the room thankful that Divatox would give him a chance at revenge against Justin and headed for the transport room.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"What can I do to help?" asked Ashley as Justin was struggling to remove all the connections that Voltage Hog had in the computer terminal to absorb the electricity.
"Can you start by powering down the wires at the top there and then disconnect them and work down while I start at the bottom and work up" said Justin.
"Sure thing" said Ashley.
"Stop right their" said a new voice and Ashley and Justin both turned to see who was there and there stood Elgar.
"Elgar what are you doing here" asked Justin.
"I'm here to stop you Blue pest" said Elgar.
"You know something Elgar I'm going to enjoy making sure we never have to see you again" said Justin.
"Justin?" asked Ashley.
"I'll be fine Ashley just concentrate on the wires and I will be back soon" said Justin as he and Elgar left the power station and as Elgar slashed down with his sword and Justin avoided every attempted attack.
"Slow down a minute and let me end you Blue Ranger" said Elgar.
"No Chance Elgar, Astro Axe active" called Justin as his Astro Axe appeared in his hands and then he began deflecting Elgar's sword and quickly got the advantage.
Elgar was backtracking as Justin kept pushing the advantage he had and then with one big swing of his Astro Axe Justin knocked the Sword from Elgar's hand and then with a final Swing of the Axe he slice straight through Elgar's robotic hands.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY HANDS" screamed Elgar.
"Now unless you want the rest of you to go back to Divatox in even more pieces I suggest you leave" said Justin as he lifted his Astro Axe back up as if to threaten Elgar.
Elgar ran back to the transport sight and then vanished.
Justin returned to the Power Station and then an idea hit him.
"Decca how much of an Electric shock could the Astro suits withstand?" asked Justin.
"A lot why do you ask?" replied Decca.
"Well I was thinking of using my Astro Axe to cut all the ties to Voltage Hog quicker"
"Justin the Suits haven't been tested to that amount of Electricity if you do it you will be responsible for yourself" replied Decca.
"If I had more information I would think about it but I guess it's back to the slow way" said Justin as he and Ashley continued to disconnect the wires the slow safe way until finally after 5 minutes all the Wires were disconnected so Justin and Ashley headed back to their Galaxy Gliders and went back to the Astro Megaship.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
A few minutes later Justin and Ashley arrived back at the Astro Megaship and Justin went straight to the communicators "TJ the monster has been disconnected destroy it" said Justin.
"Right" said TJ as the Rangers powered up the Astro Megazords Saber and as TJ Charged the Attack to full power Ashley and Justin returned to the Control room. The Sword swung down and destroyed Voltage Hog after three swings.
"Justin that was a great idea you had and thanks to you and Ashley we were able to destroy the Voltage Hog" said TJ.
"You were right as well TJ, taking Ashley was helpful since Divatox had left Quantrons down there and then Elgar showed up" said Justin.
"Well I guess that proves that Team work will win every time" said Carlos.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"ELGAR YOU ARE AN IDIOT" screamed Divatox.
"What I couldn't do anything the Blue pest cut my hands off" protested Elgar.
Next time I will send Rygog or Ecliptor they are bound to do better than you" said Divatox, as she left the Control room of the Dark Fortress with Ecliptor following her.
"Hey Rygog could you help me?" asked Elgar.
"Not really but I'll lend you a hand" said Rygog as he teleported Elgar's to hands back to the ship, before adding "Get the Quantrons to reattach them" then Rygog walked off laughing.
Power Rangers in Space 2.0
"Decca time to return the ship back to normal now we have destroyed the monster" said TJ.
"Right away TJ" said Decca.
"You know guys I have been thinking that we might need all the help we can get when the final attack begins maybe we should see about getting some extra help" said Carlos.
"Who were you thinking about asking Carlos?" asked Cassie.
"I was thinking we could get help from the former Zeo Rangers" said Carlos.
"But Carlos they gave up their powers when they became Turbo Rangers" said Justin.
"Actually there has been a spike of Energy centred around the Zeo Powers in the last few days it is possible that the Zeo Powers have been reactivated" said Decca.
"Can you tell how many of them have been reactivated?" asked Justin.
"I can only tell they were reactivated and that it wasn't by a full team" replied Decca.
"Alpha can you contacted Alpha 6 in the Power Chamber and see how many" asked Justin.
"I can but at this distance it will take a while to get a signal there and get a reply" said Alpha 5.
"Then maybe we should head back to Earth you know just to check if any aliens have tried to attack" suggested Ashley.
"Good idea Decca set course for Earth" said Justin.
"Course set in and we are on our way" said Decca.
