Fishlegs was looking through more the text in hopes to find more information on the other Morphers. Assisting him was Toothless, who was assisting with the difficult translation of the text, but even he was having a hard time understanding it.
"I must be reading this text wrong, because it mentions Green Ranger, but it speaks of only one Morpher and at the same time it mentions to Green Rangers?" said Fishlegs shaking his head. "It makes no sense."
Toothless looked up from the parchment he was reading. "There are legends of the Twin Green Rangers, it talks about a pair of twins sharing a single Morpher and fought together side-by-side."
"I've never heard of such a thing," Fishlegs frowned.
"Like I said it's a legend, it's hard to say whether it's true, but there is often truth in myth."
"I just hope that Drago is having a harder time than we are," said Fishlegs in a hopeful voice, though he doubted that they were that lucky. "I'm having a hard time reading your ancient text, some of it is written in metaphors and riddles."
"No doubt to protect the Morpher," Toothless assumed. "They wouldn't want them to form into the wrong hands."
"I still don't understand how come we humans are able to access them?" said Fishlegs puzzled.
"That is Ragnar's department ours is trying to find the blasted things."
"Fair point," Fishlegs nodded and he grabbed another parchment and his eyes widened when he read it. "Hold on, this sounds promising."
A few hours later, Fishlegs was in the briefing room with Stoick and the other Rangers as he and Toothless shared what they found.
"So why did you bring us all together?" Snotlout asked.
"I think I might have found another Morpher," said Fishlegs excitedly.
Stoick looked up. "Which one?"
"The Green Morpher."
"And what Dragon Spirit does this one possess?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"According to legends it has the power of the Hideous Zippleback, a two-headed dragon which is able to produce poisonous flammable gas and able to ignited at the same time," Toothless informed them.
"So it's a dragon that causes explosions," Ragnar simplified. "I know a pair of twins who would love that."
"Go one," Stoick pushed.
"We believe the location of the temple is on a planet named Coldfire," said Fishlegs.
Snotlout snorted. "What kind of dumb name is that?"
"A very fitting one," said Toothless. "I have looked in our databases and the planet in question is quite harsh. The planet is very close to the sun and internally locked."
"Meaning?"
Ragnar grimaced. "It means that the same side of the planet is always facing the sun."
"And that's bad how?"
"Because the planet which is facing the sun is 3600° and on the night side it's 320 below zero," Toothless explained.
"Which means the planet's is void of oxygen, also are Ranger suits will fail instantly hot side of the planet and I can estimate that there were only good for an hour on the cold side," said Ragnar.
"How did someone even build a temple they so on hospitable?" Heather asked confused.
"We don't know," said Fishlegs honestly.
Stoick rubbed his chin. "What are the chances are that Drago will give up on this planet when he discovers its location?"
"Very low," said Toothless. "He is a number of different aliens in his army and some of them even might be able to survive the conditions."
"Also the text says that only one with one mind in two bodies can enter the temple safely," Fishlegs added.
"Can someone translate?" Snotlout question.
"That is the translation," Hiccup reminded.
"Okay can someone translate the translation?"
"I think it means that only twins can navigate the temple," said Fishlegs fiddling with his fingers.
Ragnar looked up and immediately raised his hands. "You can't be serious, you're not suggesting that we bring the twins with us? For starters they don't have Ranger suits, they'll die the moment they step foot on the planet."
Stoick looked at Ragnar. "Haven't you been developing new hazmat suits? Ones that could survive all different terrains."
"They're still on the early stages and have only made two of them."
"And two is all we need," Toothless reminded.
Stoick looked at Hiccup. "This is your mission, son. Given the risks I will not blame you if you do not accept it, but I must point out that we do need those Morphers."
Hiccup sighed and looked at Ragnar. "Get the twins prepped."
"We're doomed," Snotlout moaned.
Up in space, Johann had just finished decrypting the location of the Green Dragon Spirit Morpher.
"My Lord, we have the coordinates of yet another Morpher," Johann informed them.
"Excellent, but yet you don't seem overjoyed," Drago noted.
"The planet in question is in incredibly treacherous, we would need someone special to venture there. Fortunately we have just the woman for the job, by your leave."
"Bring her in," Drago ordered.
Entering the room was a female alien, who had quite the unusual body. On her right side she was fiery red while on her left she was icy blue. Her hair was long, but on the right side it was bright red and looked as if it was made of flames while on the left it was just a bunch of long icicles.
"Allow me to introduce to you Temperance," said Johann humbly. "She is able to survive in the hottest and the coldest climates imaginable. She will be able to venture on the planet in question without any issues."
"Excellent, but how will she deal with the Ranges?" Drago questioned.
"The Ranges will have a major disadvantage, there will only be able to survive on the planet for a short time and do so they will have to maintain their Ranger forms. We will have a clear advantage this time."
Drago looked at him. "I've heard those words before, excuse me if I am not reassured."
On Berk, Hiccup and the others were getting ready for their trip to Coldfire. They were already in their Ranger form and now they were waiting on the twins.
"You sure those hazmat suits will work?" Hiccup asked looking at Ragnar.
"Not as well is are Ranger suits," said Ragnar gravely. "I can only estimate there will degrade in 40 or 45 minutes."
"So what exactly will happen when our suits fail us?" Fishlegs asked nervously.
"Well, that would be hard to say," said Ragnar rubbing the back of his head. "We should have enough oxygen to survive a day, but we will be exposed to the elements. So either will freeze to death or be burnt, either way will be agonising and painful."
"Sorry I asked," Fishlegs groaned.
"You sure about bringing the twins with us?" Astrid asked looking at Hiccup. "They don't exactly disciplined, I very much doubt they could even spell the word."
"To be honest I'm not sure," said Hiccup honestly. "What I do know is if we want to navigate that temple we're going to need them."
"So were taking a bunch of muttonhead because a bit of old paper told us to," said Snoltout folding his arms.
"I'm sure the twins will be useful," said Heather hopefully.
"Would you look at this outfit?" said Ruffnut as she and her brother entered.
"I don't know it makes me look fat," said Tuffnut looking down at himself. "And it make you even uglier than normal."
"Useful, huh?" said Snotlout.
"Let's get going," said Hiccup as he mounted his bike.
Ruffnut mounted behind Heather while Tuffnut sat behind Fishlegs and soon the coordinates of the planet entered into the wormhole device. Without hesitation the immediately drove through the vortex and found themselves on the planet in question.
They immediately landed on solid ice, fortunately they outfitted their bikes for Arctic conditions, that being said it was hard to get any grip since they were driving on top of ice not snow. They then saw what could only be described as a giant wall of fire.
"That must be the part of the planet facing the sun," said Ragnar.
"Talk about a firewall," said Snotlout.
"We need to find this temple and quickly, we won't last long in these conditions," Hiccup reminded.
"It's a good thing the coordinates landed us in the cold area, no way we could have survived on the hot," said Astrid.
"There's no way anyone could have built the temple on the warm area," said Ragnar. "So they would have no choice but to build on the cold area, how they managed to survive building the thing is beyond me though."
"Maybe there's answers inside," Hiccup offered. "However, our main priority is locating the Green Morpher and do that we need to find the temple."
"Do you think that it," said Tuffnut as he pointed.
They all turned and saw carved in the ice was a stone temple which was clearly ancient Dragkon and there were statues of the two-headed dragon surrounding it.
"Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty safe bet," said Hiccup.
They then immediately drove towards the temple which was completely deserted, though given the hostility of the planet that wasn't entirely surprising.
"How can these temples seem to appear in the most unlikely of places?" Snotlout asked as they began to enter the temple.
"I've been wondering about that myself," said Astrid.
"They wanted to make sure that the Morpher didn't get on the wrong hands didn't they?" Hiccup reminded.
Once they entered they found more inscriptions on the wall and there were two doors and the only thing they could see down them were dark dank corridors.
"So, is it like before?" Heather asked examining the corridors. "We have to pick the right one to get to our prize."
Fishlegs looked at the inscriptions. "I can barely make out any of this."
"You never had problems reading them before," Hiccup frowned.
"No it's the wording that doesn't make sense," said Fishlegs and then he moved one of the tiles. "And they seem to be able to move, but none of these symbols make any sense so it can't form any kind of sentence."
The twins then examined them and clearly they could see something at the others couldn't as they were not into each other.
Hiccup looked at them. "What? Do you two see anything?"
"Yeah, these make a map," said Tuffnut.
"Duh, how can you guys not see that?" said Ruffnut as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Then the twins began moving the tiles and it did seem to form some sort of map of the temple.
"It's a map of the temple," Hiccup stared open eyed.
"How did you do that?" Snotlout asked staring at the twins in disbelief.
"We're experts in interpreting abstract images," Ruffnut shrugged.
Hiccup examined the map. "This map certainly shows which of the corridors we have to take, but judging from this will be expecting to run into more traps."
"Lovely," Snotlout groaned.
"We had better mess the map up, unless we want Drago's forces to figure out where to go," Heather suggested.
"Good idea," Hiccup nodded and looked at the twins. "Would you care to do the honours?"
"Would we?" said the twins enthusiastically.
Almost immediately they made their way to the map and began to mess up the tiles.
"According to the map we needed to take the corridor on the right," said Hiccup as he pointed to the right corridor. "Let's go gang."
They then began making their way down the corridor and all of them treaded quite carefully so not to avoid any traps. However, neither could they go too slowly or else the suits will fail and the twins were more danger than any of them.
"We lost about 10 minutes back there," Ragnar informed Hiccup.
"Then we had better hurry," said Hiccup.
They soon entered into another chamber and once again it looks like another puzzle. There were pressure pads on the floor and they could see pieces of what could only be a statue on some sort of mechanism.
"Now what?" said Snotlout.
"Looks like another puzzle," Hiccup deduced.
"Or a trap," Astrid offered.
"I have to admit this place is quite tricky," said Ragnar. "Whoever designed this place knew that only a handful of aliens could survive these kinds of environments. They designed these puzzles in order to confuse any individual forcing them to rush and make a mistake knowing they have a time limit."
"So what do we do here?" Heather asked.
"Isn't did obvious," said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, it's as plain as the nose on your face," said Ruffnut.
"Then would you care to enlighten us?" Hiccup asked.
The twins stepped forward and each of them stepped on a pressure pad and immediately two pieces of the statue moved.
"Ohh, we have to use the pressure pads in order to recreate the statue," said Fishlegs excitedly.
"It can't be that easy," said Ragnar.
It wasn't, they had to move the pieces carefully and some of them got in the way of others. It took them another 10 minutes to finally find the right combination in order to form the statue which will that of a Hideous Zippleback and the moment they did a door opened.
"We're running out of time," Ragnar pressured.
There was no time to dillydallying so the immediately ran down the corridor not caring whether the place was booby-trapped or not. There they found the final chamber and inside was a statue of a Hideous Zippleback, with its mouths wide open.
"Don't tell me that inside its mouth again," said Snotlout.
"Wait, there's some inscriptions here," said Fishlegs as he noticed some text on the statue podium.
"Translate quickly, we're running out of time," Ragnar warned.
Fishlegs quickly made his way to the podium and began to read the text. "'Only those two bodies in one mind can take my prize. Reach inside me and grasp my tongue and if you are worthy I will award you if not you shall perish.'"
"Very cheery," said Heather gravely.
"So you mean we have to reach into the dragon's mouths and pull their tongues," Astrid simplified.
"Yeah, but I get the feeling not just about anyone can do it," said Hiccup. "I get the impression that if you're unworthy the mouth will shut ripping your arm off."
"And as a result will expose your skin to the elements," Ragnar finished.
"So, we came all this way for nothing," said Snotlout looking furious.
"Hey, we could do it," said Ruffnut gesturing to herself and her brother.
"It is why you brought us here isn't it?" Tuffnut asked.
"You two do realise how dangerous this could be," said Hiccup looking at them.
"Yeah, that's why we came," said Ruffnut rolling her eyes.
"This beat testing in the lab," said Tuffnut.
Astrid looked at Hiccup. "Hiccup, you sure this is a good idea?"
Hiccup looked at her then at the twins. "I'm not gonna force the issue, if they want to do it let them."
The twins excitedly made their way to the mouths and immediately reached inside. As it turned out the tongues were just simple rope and they grasped them with both hands.
"I advise that you pull them together," Ragnar suggested.
"You think they have to be in sync?" Heather asked.
"It said one mind," Ragnar reminded.
"Then on the counter three, sis," said Tuffnut.
"Right behind you, bro," Ruffnut nodded.
"One… two… three!"
They immediately pulled on the ropes and the statue's eyes began to glow bright green.
"Is that a good sign?" Fishlegs quivered.
"They haven't lost their hands yet," said Hiccup confidently.
Then in the chest of the statue a compartment opened and inside were two Morphers which were both green.
"Two? I thought there was only one?" Astrid frowned.
Ragnar pulled out his stunning device and scanned the Morphers. "I am picking readings that confirms that they are indeed Morphers."
Fishlegs rubbed his chin. "The text mentioned that there were two Green Power Rangers, I thought it was some kind of mistake."
Ragnar examined them and that's when he noticed there were slightly different designed to theirs. One appeared to have what seemed to be some kind of lock while the other had a key sticking out of it.
"It looks like it was in a mistake," said Ragnar as he pulled them out. "Looks like there were specially designed for two individuals."
"Perhaps we can figure this out later when were on a more hospitable planet," Astrid suggested.
"She's right we've got what we came for, let's get back home," said Hiccup.
"We'll have to open the wormhole outside the temple," said Ragnar looking at the wormhole device. "I'm unable to get a signal in here, it must be the material that this temple is made from."
"Then let's not waste time," said Snotlout.
Without hesitation the immediately ran back down the temple, they only had about 15 minutes before the twins suits failed completely in 10 minutes after that theirs would fail.
"We're almost there," said Hiccup.
"You know I'm surprised we haven't run into any trouble," said Heather.
"Don't say that," Hiccup groaned.
"Why not?"
They then suddenly came to complete stop outside the temple, because blocking their path was Temperance.
"That's why."
"I must say you do quick work ranges," she said with a smile.
"So once again you Drago cronies allow others to do your dirty work," Astrid snarled.
"Why risk yourself when a bunch of idiots are going to do it for you," she said folding her arms. "Now if you just hand the Morphers over to me, I'll let you be on your way."
"Like that's going to happen," said Hiccup.
"Time is very much against you Red Ranger, I am able to survive in this climate you on the other hand on limited time," Temperance pointed out.
Hiccup looked at Ragnar. "How long do we have?"
"15 minutes at best, but the twins are the ones in the most danger," said Ragnar.
"So, do we have a deal?" Temperance asked extending her hand.
"No," said Hiccup as he and the others took fighting stances.
"Shame," said Temperance looking disappointed. "Then I'll just take them off your hands once I take you down."
She then immediately extended her hand unleashed a burst of flames from the right side of her body and they quickly jumped out of the way. Astrid then came charging in, but she extended her left hand and unleashed a burst of ice forcing her to retreat.
Hiccup then came in with sword in hand to getting close, but she unleashed flames covering her right side and used the bright light to blind him temporarily. She then quickly slammed a fist into his stomach sending him back and then she raised a hand firing a burst of ice from her palm directly at the twins.
Fortunately Ragnar placed himself between them and used his shield to protect them. "You need to get out of here while we hold her off."
"But surely you're in just as much danger as us," said Ruffnut.
"We can stand being out here a lot longer, but you've got less than five minutes until your suits fail," Ragnar reminded. "Also it is paramount that you take the Morphers as far away from him as possible."
"We're not running," said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, we want to help," said Ruffnut.
Hiccup jumped back and stood beside Ragnar. "The two of you can help by getting out of here."
Fishlegs slammed his hammer into the ground unleashing a powerful burst of energy towards Temperance, but she created a column of ice to avoid the attack. She then jumped into the air and unleashed a burst of flames directly over Fishlegs, roasting him. Snotlout then jumped into the air with mace in hand, but she caught it with her left hand and immediately in taste it and Snotlout in ice.
Snotlout fell to the ground and found himself unable to move. "I can't move an inch!"
Hiccup looked at Ragnar. "You got get the twins and Snotlout out of here."
"Just buy me some time," said Ragnar.
Hiccup nodded and immediately charged in swinging his sword at Temperance, who had launched herself into the air using the right side of her body. However, Astrid then jumped into the air directly behind and slammed her axe on top of her slamming her into the ground.
"Why you little…" Temperance snarled and immediately raised her right hand into the air directly at Astrid.
Heather then quickly used her whip in order to wrap it around her right hand and with one pulled cause the flames to be sent out in a different direction.
While this was going on Ragnar the twins quickly made their way to Snotlout and he began to access the wormhole device.
"Just give me a few seconds," he said as he inputted the coordinates.
Soon the wormhole formed in front of them.
"Right let's toss Snotlout inside and let's get out of here," said Ragnar.
"You what?" Snotlout yelled indignantly. "There's no way you're going to toss me anywhere."
"Like he's got a choice," Ruffnut matter.
Ragnar and the twins then lifted Snotlout and tossed them into the wormhole as he yelled out protests.
"Now it's our turn," said Ragnar.
The twins looked one another and nodded and then pushed Ragnar right into the wormhole which then closed behind him.
Hiccup stared at them in disbelief. "What you think you two are doing?"
"Helping," said Ruffnut.
"What does it look like?" said Tuffnut.
"Ragnar had wormhole device, without him you won't survive here!" Hiccup yelled.
Temperance then unleashed a powerful burst of flames that pushed Hiccup and the others back.
She then turned to face the twins. "Thanks to you incompetent fools I now have a much easier time acquiring those Morphers of yours."
The twins smiled mischievously and then they inserted the Morphers on their wrists.
"Unleash the dragon within!" they yelled in unison and slammed their fists together.
The key on Tuffnut's Morpher slid into Ruffnut's perfectly and then a massive surge of energy out of the Morpher. The two of them were then immediately consumed by green flames and when the flames vanished they stood there in their Ranger uniforms flames then covered their faces and once dispelled these there with helmets shaped like Hideous Zipplebacks.
Temperance stared at the two of them. "Impossible!"
Hiccup and the others were quite bewildered as well. "No way."
"I don't believe it," Astrid gaped.
"Two Power Rangers sharing one Morpher?" said Fishlegs in disbelief.
"Unprecedented," said Heather stunned.
"Dragon Spirit Twin Green Rangers!" the twins cried as they took up fighting stances.
Temperance growled in frustration. "So there's two of you, it makes no difference."
"Oh, I think you'll find that all make all the difference in the world," said Ruffnut.
"Or any world for that matter," said Tuffnut.
There immediately each pulled out a spear and then them directly at Temperance.
"Twin Dragons Spear!" they cried.
The two of them then immediately charged at Temperance, who immediately unleashed a burst of flames from her right hand. The twins immediately skidded across the icy surface and went directly beneath the flames, then they use their spears in order to knock Temperance right off their feet.
She landed face first on the ice, but she quickly rose up again and now we avoided the tips of the twins spears.
"I won't be made a fool of!" she roared.
She then slammed her left hand onto the ground and immediately sharp icicles shot out and aimed directly at the twins. Quickly the two of them jumped back to a safe distance, Tuffnut then held out his spear like the platform and Ruffnut jumped on top of it. Tuffnut then used his strength to lift his fist into the air where she flew directly over the field of icicles and then slammed her spear down on top of Temperance.
This manoeuvre caught completely offguard and she was pushed back and then Tuffnut came skating across the ground and struck her.
"You can't defeat me," she groaned.
"I think you'll find that we can," said Ruffnut.
"Shall we end this, sis?" Tuffnut asked.
"Let's."
The two of them then stood either side of Temperance and began to channel energy into their spears.
"Twin Spear Strike!"
They then immediately charged at Temperance, who was still bit winded from the previous attack. The two of them then slammed their spears right into her and once they went past she exploded and was reduced to nothing.
Up in the sky was Johann's ship and insiders he had been watching the entire battle wasn't entirely filled with the outcome.
"Pesky Rangers," he growled and immediately reached for a button. "But let's see how you handle Temperance when she is fully grown?"
He then immediately activated the regenerator which fired a beam down on top of the remains of Temperance moments later she was towering over all of them.
"Prepared to feel my wraith," she said looking down at them.
"This is bad," Hiccup grimaced. "Without Snotlout we can't form the Dragon Spirit Megazoid."
"And Ragnar is not here either," Heather added.
"Then we'll just have to fight with what we got," said Astrid.
"Let's do it," said Hiccup.
They immediately flung their fists into the air. "Dragon Spirits arise!"
Immediately they transformed into the Dragon Spirit forms and soon they did battle with Temperance. Fortunately the Dragon Spirit form they could survive the harsh climate of the planet far longer, but they were only slight disadvantage since they were low on manpower.
Astrid fired several spines at Temperance, but she raised her left hand and sent a burst of ice freezing the spines before they even touched her. Heather then swung her razor sharp tail towards her, but using her left side she unleashed a burst of flames pushing her back. Fishlegs tried to use his tail bludgeon, but he was unable to get anywhere close to her due to the flames and ice. Hiccup can get a precise shot with his plasma blasts for the exact same reason.
The twins could only watch as Temperance began to overpower them.
"We have to do something," said Ruffnut.
"Giving we can summon our own Dragon Spirit?" Tuffnut pondered.
"Worth a shot."
The two of them then concentrated hard and then they began to glow bright green.
"Dragon Spirit arise!" they cried.
Their transformation was a little different, in fact the two of them combined into a dragon spirit. They were now the same size as Snotlout and took the form of a Hideous Zippleback and they didn't waste any time. Ruffnut poured out gas from her mouth that covered Temperance and Tuffnut unleashed a spark igniting the gas creating a massive explosion knocking her back.
"Nice going," said Hiccup as he landed beside them. "Though I have to say your transformation is a bit strange."
"How do you think we feel?" said Ruffnut.
"Yeah, do you think we enjoy being this close?" Tuffnut asked.
"Hiccup, what are we going to do?" Astrid asked as she landed next to Hiccup. "She's already getting back up and it's clear we don't have the firepower to overpower her."
"What if we combined with the twins?" Heather asked.
"Is that even possible?" Fishlegs asked.
"We're about to find out," said Hiccup.
"We're game," said the twins in unison.
"Then let's do it," said Hiccup and they immediately took off.
Hiccup and the others began to combine as per normal, but the twins were slightly different. Their mouths open wide and soon they were standing upside down and their wings folded in. Hiccup and the others then immediately linked in with the twins forming a new combination of Megazoid.
"Dragon Spirit Megazoid!" they cried.
The twins shared a double podium with the others.
"Let's take this chick down," said Ruffnut.
"Right behind you, sis," said Tuffnut.
They then immediately moved in and Temperance prepared herself.
"Time for you to burn!" she yelled.
"Not this time," said Ruffnut.
She then immediately lifted her left leg and gas exited from the foot and the moment it made contact with Temperance's flames there was a huge explosion knocking her to the ground.
"I want in," said Tuffnut.
He then quickly slammed his left foot down upon her face and immediately unleashed a multitude of sparks and she screamed in pain.
"Time to put an end to this," said Hiccup.
They then pulled out their sword.
"Dragon Saber!" they yelled and slammed the sword right down upon her which led to her destruction.
Johann had to be the one to bear the bad news to Drago as he was making his way back to Earth.
"So not only did you failed to retrieve the Morpher, but now I find that we are dealing with two additional Rangers!" Drago roared furiously.
Johann grimaced. "Yes, my lord."
"It would seem as if Krogan is in the only one that has failed to meet his promises," Drago growled furiously and switched off the monitor.
Johann clenched his fists. "Oh, I will get my revenge on you soon Rangers."
Hiccup and the others had returned back to Berk to give the report to Stoick.
"That is indeed excellent news," said Stoick as he looked at the report. "What is Snotlout's condition?"
"Stable and we expect him to make a full recovery," said Ragnar.
"Shame," Astrid muttered.
Stoick then turned to the twins. "I have made a note of your contribution, but you disobeyed a direct order from a superior officer. I will let it off just this once, but if you disobey an order again you'll be scrubbing every single toilet on in the city."
The twins nodded.
"That still leaves two Morphers out there," Fishlegs pointed out. "And Drago will want the more than ever now."
"Then you had best prepare yourselves," Stoick advised.
