Anyway, it's finally here: Orion must save the day and the Rangers will face their biggest battle yet.
Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 5: To the Sixth Power
As the giant war machine pressed forward, the civilians kept fleeing for cover.
Zilas snickered at their fear.
"Yes, Run!" Zilas bellowed. "Scamper away, humans! Let the fear of the Armada devour your minds and destroy your hopes of survival."
Zilas snapped his fingers. The panels that the rangers emerged from opened up again and the five humans were lowered back inside the giant machine.
"How sweet this victory shall be!" Zilas declared in triumphant.
"Hey!" A voice shouted.
Zilas turned frontward to see a blonde-haired standing among the fleeing crowd, looking bold and confident.
"You want to take control of Earth?" Ryan shouted. "You'll have to go through me first."
Zilas scoffed at the human, unaware of his true powers.
"Away with you!" Zilas shouted as he swung his sword in Ryan's direction.
"Hyah!" Ryan grunted as he leaped out of the sword's path.
Ryan tumbled on the ground, a bit banged from the sword's energy field. He looked up where he lay, locking eyes with a Silver Figure in hiding.
Ryan nodded his head at the Silver Figure, who then carefully made his way behind the giant war machine.
Orion entered the giant war machine by blasting a hole in the back. Several X-Borgs take note of this and were about to flee to their master before Orion knocks them all them out.
Orion entered the darkened vessel. "Hang on, guys." Orion whispered.
Back outside, Ryan was still effortlessly avoiding Zilas energy attacks, infuriating the Armada general.
"Persistent, aren't you?" Zilas scoffed as he leaped off from the top of War machine, landing several yards from Ryan. "Fine, I'll deal with you myself."
Prison cell, War ship
The Five Mega Rangers still chained by their wrists, listened to the chaos transpiring outside the vessel.
"This is it." Emma whimpered. "The Earth is doomed!"
"No, don't give up hope just because it looks like that." Gia told her. "That's what Zilas wants."
"But how..." Troy began when he was interrupted by loud banging.
The five rangers looked over to the exit door, which was being banged by something.
"Oh, great, now what?" Jake groaned.
Suddenly, the door was completely blasted away by whoever was trying to open it. The blast created cloud of smoke, shrouding the figure's appearance.
"Troy, Emma!" A male voice's called. "Guys, are you here!"
The five Rangers instantly recognized the voice.
"It's Orion!" Emma exclaimed.
"Emma, is that you?" Orion asked as he began to stumble through the smoke.
"Yes, it's me." Emma affirmed. "We're all here."
Orion finally came into the Five Ranger's view.
"Don't worry I'm going to get you guys out." Orion assured them. "Look away, for a moment."
The Five Rangers turned their heads away as Orion swung his spear against their shackles successfully breaking them.
"Finally!" Jake cheered.
"Okay, guys, let's get out of here." Orion told them.
They all ran out to leave when Emma remembered something.
"Wait!" Emma called out.
The other Rangers came to a halt and faced the Pink Ranger.
"Zilas still has our keys somewhere in this ship." Emma reminded them. "We can't leave them here."
Orion gave what Noah said some thought.
"Alright, you guys make a break for it." Orion told them. "I'll get the Ranger keys."
"No, we're all going with you." Troy argued.
Orion turned to face Troy. "Look, Troy, you all don't have your powers; I do. I'm the most likely to get those keys out of here in case I run into trouble. Take the others and go!"
Without another word, Orion bolted into the Ship's hallway.
"Orion!" Emma cried out.
Troy looked back at his teammates who nodded in agreement.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Troy urged.
Zilas and Ryan were still fighting, but the latter was on the losing end. Zilas swung his sword near Ryan's legs. He missed, but that was enough to knock Ryan off his feet and land flat on his back.
"You've lost, human." Zilas sneered as he raised his sword at Ryan's face.
Ryan grinned at the general.
"What's so funny?" Zilas growled.
"I'm afraid you're the one that's lost, Zilas." Ryan answered as he nodded his head in the direction behind Zilas.
Zilas looked back to see his War ship covered in explosions.
"No!" Zilas bellowed as he raced back to the ship.
Ryan got back on his feet as he watched the general run. He then looked up to see the five rangers escaping from behind the ship.
"Good work, Orion."
Mega Rangers
The Rangers watched as Zilas's war ship began erupt in dozens of explosions. They looked at the entrance that they had escaped from, hoping that Orion would come out at any minute.
"Get out of there, Orion!" Troy said in his mind.
The Rangers looked on, but slowly kept backing away as the ship grew more unstable.
"Look there he is!" Noah exclaimed.
And it was Orion! Still morphed, he was carrying the chest full of Ranger keys.
Orion looked up at his friends as he ran.
"GET DOWN!"
The Rangers fell down to the ground as Orion did. Seconds later, the war ship went up in flames.
After the explosion died down, the five Rangers looked up from where they lay to see Orion lying on the street motionless. Then Orion fidgeted for a minute, slowly beginning to get back on his feet before de-morphing completely.
The Rangers slowly got back on their feet as they looked continued to look at their fallen friend.
"Is he..." Jake pondered.
"UHhhh!" The Silver Ranger groaned as he got back on his feet.
Orion de-morphed as he got back on his feet.
"He's okay!" Gia exclaimed as the five Rangers rushed over to the Silver Ranger.
Orion smiled at his friends as they came over to him.
"I'm okay, guys." Orion assured them as he placed the chest on the ground.
Jake patted Orion on the back.
"You did good, Orion." Noah grinned slightly.
Emma stepped in front of Orion and gave him a sharp smack on the head.
"Ow!" Orion yelped as he placed his hand on his head. "What was that for?"
Emma glared. "Don't you ever scare me like that again, do you hear me?"
Orion grinned, realizing the Pink Ranger's concern for his well-being. "Sorry about that, but I ran into a few close calls in there. One of those X-Borgs activated the self-destruct sequence when I got the keys. I didn't mean to scare you."
Troy stepped forward. "Good job, Orion. You saved us all today."
Orion smiled at the Red Ranger. "Hey, saving others is what hero does, right?"
"Rangers!" Zilas' voice roared.
The six Rangers turned around to see Zilas and Vanitum standing behind them, both unharmed.
"So it was the Silver Ranger behind all this." Zilas growled as he glared at Orion. "I should have taken of you when I had the chance. That's one mistake I won't be making again."
Orion stepped forward as the other Rangers formed a line behind him.
"I don't think so, Zilas!" Orion shouted. as he reached into his jacket for his Silver Morpher.
What he pulled out was the black case that Ryan gave him. Remembering the Legendary Ranger's words, Orion opened the case and was shocked at what was inside.
"Orion, you okay?" Troy asked in concern.
Orion turned around to face the Rangers. "Oh yeah, I just got a new power to use against these creeps."
"What are you talking about?" Noah inquired.
Orion smiled. "Just use the Lightspeed Rescue keys."
Troy turned to face the other four members, who all nodded in agreement. They all clicked their belt buckles, summoning new Ranger keys. They held out their Super Mega Morphers.
"Super Mega Mode!"
"Super Megaforce Red!"
"Super Megaforce Blue!"
"Super Megaforce Yellow!"
"Super Megaforce Green!"
"Super Megaforce Pink!"
Zilas scoffed at the Rangers. "Come on Rangers! I know you have more power to use than that."
"You've got it, Zilas!" Troy retorted as the Five Rangers summoned the Lightspeed Rescue Keys.
"Legendary Ranger Mode...Lightspeed Rescue!" The Five Rangers shouted as they inserted their Ranger keys into their morphers.
Troy clicked his feet together and raised his hand in salute. "Red Lightspeed Ranger!" He then raised his left fist to his shoulder while he held up his right arm in the air.
Noah clicked his feet together as he raised his right hand in salute. "Blue Lightspeed Ranger!" He then held up his left hand in a flexed position while crossing his right arm in front of his chest.
Jake clicked his feet together as he raised his right hand in salute. "Green Lightspeed Ranger!" He held up his right arm out, while holding out his left arm in a flexed position.
Gia clicked her feet together as she raised her right arm salute. "Yellow Lightspeed Ranger!" She balled her left hand in a fist, holding that arm backwards as she held her right arm forward in a triumphant position.
Emma clicked her feet together as she raised her hand to her head in salute. "Pink Lightspeed Ranger!" She crossed her arms in an x-shape in front of her face."
"Save the Earth, Save a Life!" The team declared. "Lightspeed Rescue!"
Zilas bellowed with laughter. "This is your plan, Silver Ranger? Even I know this team lacks a Sixth Ranger power that you can use.
"That's where you're wrong, Zilas!" Orin shot.
He pulled the object from inside the case and held it up in full sight of Zilas and the Rangers.
"No way!" Jake droned in disbelief. "Is that a Ranger Key?"
"Oh it is." Orion affirmed as he pulled out his Silver Morpher.
He clicked the Ranger key to reveal its key part. He then placed it into his morpher, shutting it once the key was placed. He then held the morpher out in front of him.
"Legendary Sixth Ranger Mode...Titanium Ranger!"
Entering the Morphing Grid, Orion, still in Super Megaforce mode, held up his arms as the Lightspeed Rescue V-Shape logo descended upon him. The Logo morphed Orion into the Titanium Ranger. Orion swung his arms down to his side, as his new helmet visor closed.
Now morphed, Orion struck a pose.
The Rangers and Zilas were in shock.
"The Forgotten Sixth Ranger power!" Orion declared. "Lightspeed Rescue, Titanium Ranger!"
The other Rangers rushed over to examine their friend's new form.
"This is...the missing Sixth Ranger?" Noah questioned.
Orion nodded. "Yup, I ran in to him today. But we can talk later. Let's send these guys packing!"
The Rangers turned back around to face Zilas and Vanitum.
"You're time's up, Zilas!" Orion shouted as he pointed his finger at the villain.
"Vanitum, get them!" Zilas ordered
Pulling out a blaster, Vanitum fired a blast that turned into a fireball at the Rangers.
"Look out!" Orion shouted as he somersaulted out of the fireball's path.
Unfortunately, the other Rangers weren't quick enough and were engulfed in a fiery explosion when the fireball hit them.
Orion looked up at the blazing flames where his friends were standing.
"No!" Orion despaired.
"Ha, Ha, ha, I got them." Vanitum laughed maniacally.
"I don't think so." Troy shouted as he and the other Rangers leaped from the flames wielding their V-Lancers.
"What?" Zilas exclaimed in shock.
The Rangers landed on the ground and charged at Vanitum.
"Guards!" Zilas cried out.
Instantly, the Elite Guards appeared aside Zilas, both armed for battle.
"Destroy them!" Zilas commanded.
The Elite Guards charged at the Rangers in response.
"Back for more, huh?" Jake quipped as the Rangers engaged with the guards.
Troy made the first move, performing an upward slash on the two guards with his V-Lancer, followed by a double slash from Jake and Noah. Gia and Emma finished the assault with a triple slash to finish the guards off.
Orion, relieved that his friends were okay, raced to help them out.
Zilas was completely in shock at the Rangers' newfound strength. That's when Vanitum stepped back in.
"Try this, Rangers!" Vanitum growled as he fired an electrical attack at the Rangers.
The Rangers stepped back in fear as the attack was about to strike them, when Orion jumped in front of them. He managed to block Vanitum's attack with his Titanium Axe.
"Whoa!" Troy gasped.
"Impossible!" Vanitum gapped in disbelief.
Orion grunted as he tried to hold up his axe, which had absorbed the power from Vanitum attack.
"Right back at ya!" Orion shouted as he swung his axe in Vanitum' direction.
Zilas leaped out of the attack's range, leaving Vanitum to be hit and destroyed by Orion's counterattack.
Fatally wounded, Vanitum fell to the ground, exploding upon impact.
"Great job, Orion!" Troy commended as he turned to face the Silver Ranger. "Huh?"
Orion, de-morphing back to his Super Mega Mode, panted as he sank down to his knees in exhaustion. The other rangers de-morphed back to Super Mega and rushed to his aid.
"Orion, are you okay?" Troy inquired, as he hovered above Orion.
Orion looked up at the Red Ranger. "Yeah, that mode just took a little out of me."
Jake patted Orion on the shoulder. "That mode came just in the nick of time, buddy."
"You didn't think I'd let you guys have all the fun without me." Orion grinned from behind his helmet.
"Orion...I" Troy began.
"You...!"
The Rangers looked up to see Zilas getting back on his feet.
Zilas raised his sword toward the Rangers.
"This fight is far from over, Rangers." Zilas said in a calm voice, though it was clear he was struggling to control his temper. "I have one more trick up my sleeve."
Before the Rangers could react, Zilas took off into the street leading outside of town.
"He's heading for the quarry." Noah stated as he watched the general depart. "We have to stop him."
"But Orion." Emma began as she looked down at the exhausted Silver Ranger.
"Go." Orion panted waving his hand toward Zilas direction.
The five Rangers looked down at their Sixth Ranger.
"Just go get him." Orion told them. "I'll catch up."
"You're sure?" Troy inquired.
"Go for it." Orion replied, nodding his head in Zilas' direction.
"Okay." Troy acknowledged. He then turned his attention to the other four Rangers. "Alright, guys, after him."
With that said, the five rangers took off after Zilas.
The five rangers ran into the quarry once more.
"You guys see him?" Troy asked as the others looked around in every direction.
"Nope." Jake answered.
"Rangers!" Zilas voice barked.
The Rangers looked up to see Zilas on a distant hill, wielding his trumpet.
"You have humiliated me for the last time!" Zilas roared. "It's time you meet your end as you deserve…by your own powers!"
Zilas raised his trumpet to his mouth as he placed several keys into it. He blew the trumpet, playing a tune.
As he played it, the powers from the Ranger keys transformed into the Ranger Clones, except this time it was full teams instead of one.
"Whoa!" Noah gasped.
"You rangers are no match for my Ranger clone army." Zilas boasted. "Give up now while you can and I might let you live."
Jake leaned toward Noah. "Is it just me or do those Rangers clones look like they're from some cheesy Japanese 80s kid show."
Noah shrugged.
"I don't think so, Zilas." Troy barked as he stepped forward. "We'll defeat these clones and stop you."
Noah placed his hand on Troy's shoulder. "But Troy remember what Zilas said earlier. As long as these Rangers clones are active, we can't use our Legendary modes."
Troy turned around to face Noah. "Noah, I think you're forgetting that we have something these teams never had."
Noah thought for a few seconds, then realized what Troy was referring to. "A Sixth Ranger."
"Guys, it's time go Legendary Sixth Ranger Mode!" Troy commanded. "Noah, Jake, you guys use the Green Ranger keys. Emma, Gia, and I will use the White Ranger keys."
"Right!" The four rangers nodded in agreement.
The Rangers summoned new Ranger keys from their belts. As the five Rangers held out their keys, Noah noticed something wrong about the Legendary key that Jake was holding.
"Hold it, Jake!" Noah blurted out before the Rangers entered their Legendary modes.
"What?" Jake groaned in annoyance.
"That's the wrong Green Samurai Ranger." Noah pointed out as he took the key from Jake's hand. Noah summoned the correct the key and handed it to Jake. "This is the one that's a sixth Ranger."
"Wow, thanks, man." Jake grinned as he recognized the key.
Turning back to the face the Ranger clones, the Mega Rangers placed their Ranger keys into their morphers.
"Legendary Sixth Ranger Mode…Green and White Rangers!"
"Mighty Morphin White Ranger!" Troy declared.
"Mighty Morphin Green Ranger!" Noah declared.
"White Dino Ranger!" Gia declared.
"Green Samurai Ranger!" Jake declared.
"SPD Omega Ranger!" Emma declared
"Morphenomenal!"
The Ranger clones got into offensive stances as they summoned their weapons.
"Destroy them!" Zilas commanded.
With that said, the Ranger clones charged at the Mega Rangers.
"Guys, let's split up and take them out!" Troy commanded.
"Right!" The Mega Rangers nodded as they split up and began fighting one of the teams.
Troy went after the Secret Service Rangers, summoning Saba in his hand.
The first of the clones to attack Troy were the Blue and Green Rangers, armed with a Bow and boomerang respectively. Troy brandished his weapon as he and his opponents were about to engage with each other.
The Blue Ranger began firing arrows at Troy, who blocked them with Saba. Troy quickly slashed the Blue Ranger away and began fighting the Green Ranger. The Ranger clone attempted to use its Boomerang to fight, but it wasn't strong enough against Saba. The Green Ranger began to falter allowing Troy to finish him off with a double slash.
The Pink and Yellow Rangers joined in on the fight. Their punches were blocked by Troy, using Saba once more. Troy then kicked the two rangers away. While they were recovering, the two ranger clones were aided by their Red Ranger, who wrapped its whip around Saba.
Troy pulled the sword backwards, causing the Red Ranger to be pulled forward as well. Troy kicked the Red Ranger away once he was close enough, knocking the Ranger clone to his comrades.
Troy held up Saba to his face.
"Alright, Saba, show these guys what you're made of!" Troy shouted as he twirled the sword wildly.
He let go of the sword, which began floating on its own accord. The enchanted sword flipped itself upside down, revealing its tiger shaped hilt.
The tiger hilt opened its mouth slightly, which shot out a powerful wave of energy that engulfed the three Ranger clones in an explosion, restoring them to their key forms as Troy reclaimed Saba.
"HAAAA!" Gia exclaimed as she charged toward the Denzi Rangers.
The Ranger clones launched their Denzi Chakram at Gia, but she avoided their attack by jumping on top of the weapon for a split second before jumping forward to engage the Rangers.
"Hyah!" Gia grunted as she slashed the Yellow and Green Rangers with her Drago Sword.
As the Yellow and Green Ranger clones fell, the Red and Pink Rangers summoned their Denzi Rods, attempting to strike Gia with them. Unfortunately, due to the White Ranger vest, the rods did very little damage. Gia then quickly turned around and slashed them away from her.
While the two ranger clones were down, the Blue Ranger stepped in, performing a downward slash to defeat Gia.
Gia managed to block the attack at the last second. She then kicked the Blue Ranger back.
The Red and Pink Rangers were back on their feet and ready to fight.
"White Drago Sword!" Gia declared as she slashed the air with the weapon. This created dozens of laser arrows around her, all poised to strike the ranger clones.
"Laser Arrows, Fire!" Gia shouted.
The lasers arrows shot themselves at the three ranger clones, striking them multiple times. When the last arrow disappeared, the three Ranger clones fell to the ground in an explosion, thus restoring them to their ranger key forms.
Jake as the Green Samurai Ranger was fighting the Battle Fever Rangers. His targets at the moment were the Pink and Orange Rangers.
The Pink Ranger, armed with throwing knives, tried to slash Jake's armor with very little results. The Red Ranger joined in and attempted to stab Jake with his spear, but even that didn't work.
"Wait, is that real hair?" Jake inquired as he noticed the Pink Battle Ranger's helmet.
Jake slashed the Pink Ranger away destroying it.
He then used his sword to cut the Red Ranger's spear in half. He kicked the Red Ranger aside before turning his attention to the Black and Blue Rangers.
The Blue Ranger, who had a fencing sword, easily matched Jake's attacks blow for blow. The Black Ranger attempted to make a surprise attack, but this failed as well due to Jake's armor. Jake kicked the Blue Ranger aside, and slashed the Black Ranger, as well as the Red Ranger.
Jake then redirected his attention to the still recovering Blue and Orange Rangers.
"Move like a ninja!" Jake quipped.
The scene shifted behind a Japanese doorway, with Jake's silhouette slashing the two Ranger clones multiple times from behind the door.
Jake slid his sword back into his sheath as the Blue and Orange Ranger collapsed, turning back into Ranger keys as a result.
The team of Ranger clones that Emma was fighting was the Astro Rangers.
The Yellow Lion Ranger, who Emma had been fighting up to this point, dropped her weapon and began pummeling her with excessive punches.
Emma eventually managed to knock the Yellow Ranger away before the other Clones attacked her. Emma back-flipped away from them and readied the Omega Morpher attached to her wrist.
The Blue Dolphin Ranger poised its Dolphin Bow at Emma while the Green Rhino Ranger raised its Rhino Boomerangs. The instant the two rangers attacked, Emma revved her morpher twice.
"Omega Morpher, Electro Mode!" Emma shouted. "Time to leave you in shock!"
Punching her fist to the ground, Emma caused her morpher to fire an electrical attack that went straight for the two Rangers, who were instantly destroyed.
It was not over yet, as the Black and Red Rangers, armed with a Rod and Sword, charged toward Emma.
Emma revved her morpher once more. "Time for a little boost! Muscle Mode!"
Bracing herself for her next attack, Emma awaited for the two rangers to strike.
Once they were in range, Emma punched the two rangers in the chests. The force of her punch instantly destroyed them in a fiery and electrical explosion.
Emma then revved her morpher again. "Light-Beam Mode!"
Focusing the light energy in her hand, Emma leaped up high into the sky above the Yellow Lion Ranger. As she descended back down to earth, Emma held out her fist, punching the Yellow Ranger.
The Yellow Ranger key fell to the ground in defeat, turned back into a Ranger key.
The Red Neo Ranger tried attacking Noah with several punches, but the latter effortless avoiding the former's attacks by back-flipping away with every punch. Noah then landed on his feet several yards away from the Ranger clone.
"I think you need some new goggles, because you can't even hit me." Noah taunted.
In that split second, Noah was rammed by the charging Black Ranger.
Noah somersaulted forward and landed on his knees. "Okay, that does it! Dragon Dagger!"
Armed and dangerous, Noah charged back into battle with the Black Neo Ranger as the other Rangers clones joined in.
Noah slashed the Black Neo Ranger with the Dagger and kicked him away. He then turned around to engage with the Red and Blue Rangers.
The Red Ranger pulled out a red lasso and threw it at Noah, binding him.
"Huh, didn't see that coming." Noah said to himself.
The Blue Ranger charged at Noah, its saber raised to strike.
Thinking quickly, Noah used the Dragon Dagger to cut away a small portion of the rope around his arm. With his arm free, he slashed the Blue Ranger with the Dagger, destroying him.
"My turn!" Noah yelled as he grabbed the rope that bound him.
The Red Ranger looked up in fright as Noah took hold of the rope.
"Time for a little game of the whip." Noah grinned from behind his helmet.
Noah, mustering all his strength, began to twirl the rope around himself, taking the Red ranger with it. The Yellow and Pink Neo Rangers attempted to intervene, but Noah stopped them by pulling the rope toward their location, causing the Red Neo Ranger to collide with them.
The result ended with the Rangers destroyed and turned back into keys.
The rangers regrouped together and looked toward the hill that Zilas was standing.
"That all you got?" Troy questioned confidently.
"It's not over yet, Rangers!" Zilas shouted before blowing his trumpet once more, summoning five more ranger clone teams.
"Uh-oh!" Jake gapped.
The Five teams of Ranger clones stood in formation, with the Dragon Blitz standing in front as the leaders.
"Go, my rangers!" Zilas ordered the five teams on his right.
The Ranger clones charged at the Rangers.
"Time to change things up!" Troy commanded the team as he and the others summoned new keys.
"Legendary Sixth Ranger Mode…..Red and Gold!"
"Quantum Ranger" Troy declared.
"Solaris Knight!" Noah declared.
"Gold Samurai Ranger!" Gia declared.
"Gold Zeo Ranger!" Jake declared.
"Gold RPM Ranger!" Emma declared.
"Let's go, Rangers!" Troy commanded as the Rangers engaged the next teams.
"Cloud Hatchet!" Emma shouted as she summoned her primary weapon.
Armed, Emma engaged the Prism Rangers . She slashed away the Green Ranger with ease.
The Blue Ranger pulled out its Star Darts and threw them at Emma.
"Too slow!" Emma quipped as he raced past the darts using her suit's superspeed.
Emma raced toward the Blue Ranger and slashed him with her Cloud Hatchet.
Now the Pink and Yellow Rangers were approaching her.
"Slash Mode!" Emma declared as she flipped #1 switch on her Cloud Hatchet.
She then slashed the Rangers as they were coming at her. The attack incinerated the two ranger clones, allowing Emma to race forward and finish off the Red Ranger with an upward slash, reverting all three back to their key forms.
"Gone in a flash!" Emma quipped as she snapped her fingers
"Hyah!" Noah grunted as he leaped up into the air.
Once he landed on the ground, Noah engaged in battle with the Aura Mask Rangers. At the moment, he was using hand-to-hand combat to battle them.
The Aura Mask Ranger clones take advantage of this, summoning their Magnum Blasters. They fired dozen of laser beams at Noah. Fortunately, Noah was able to block the attack with the Laser Lamp.
"Laser Lamp!" Noah declared as he fired several laser blasts from the lamp at the Red and Yellow Rangers, destroying them.
"Wow, this lamp rocks!" Noah exclaimed.
The Blue and Pink Rangers charged at Noah, who back-flipped in order to avoid their attacks. Once he landed back on his feet, Noah leaped forward and slashed the two rangers.
Noah didn't stop there, as he kept hovering forward. The Black Ranger continued to fire at Noah, though he kept on missing.
Noah charged up the lamp and fired a powerful laser blast to finish the Black Ranger off.
Gia was fighting the Supersonic Rangers.
The Pink and Yellow Sonic Ranger leaped forward as they prepared to slash Gia with their Sonic Rods.
Gia blocked their attack with her Barracuda Blades and back-flipped away. The Other Sonic Rangers joined in on the fight.
As the group surrounded her, Gia managed to destroy the weakened Pink and Yellow Ranger before turning her attention to the other three.
"Time to teach you clones not to mess with a real Ranger!" Gia quipped as she brandished her Barracuda Blades.
The three Rangers charged to attack her. They all ran past her as Gia became a blur.
Once the three rangers were passed her, Gia placed her blades back into her sheath. At that very second, the three rangers fell to the ground, triggering an explosion that restored them to their Ranger key mode.
"Golden Staff!" Jake yelled as the staff extended its length. "Hyahhh!"
Jake charged at the Dragon Blitz Rangers, who were armed with their Blitz Swords. He slashed away the Black Griffon Ranger, and blocked an attack from the Pink Phoenix Ranger.
The Red Dragon Ranger attempted a downward slash on Jake while his back was turned, but Jake countered his attack quickly retracting his weapon and ducking his head. The Red Ranger's attack struck and destroyed the Pink Ranger.
Jake elbowed the Red Ranger in the gut, causing the Ranger to stumble backwards.
"Gold Staff, extend!" Jake declared as the weapon extended to its blunt mode. "Hyah!"
Raising the staff in front of him, Jake charged toward the incoming Ranger clones. He struck them all hard with his staff as he raced past them. While the Rangers were recovering the attack, Jake turned around and held out the staff, which emitted gold energy that engulfed and destroyed the remaining Rangers. The Rangers were restored to their key form.
The Battalion Rangers performed their finishing move, which involved all of them locking arms together and spinning around in a fast manner, creating a fireball around them.
Troy, armed with the Quantum Defender in its sword mode, leaps forward and slashes them with enough force to stop their attack. The Ranger clones fall flat on their backs while Troy lands on his feet several yards away.
"It's on like Dynamite!" Troy shouted as he brandished his weapon before charging at the Rangers.
Using the Quantum Defender, Troy slashed away the Blue and Black Rangers with ease.
"Quantum Defender, Blaster Mode!" Troy declared as he quickly changed his weapon's mode.
The remaining Ranger clones tried to attack him with punches and kicks, but Troy avoided them by back-flipping away. Once back on his feet, he fired several rounds of blasts at the Ranger clones, engulfing them in an explosion.
The Rangers re-grouped once more, de-morphing back to Super Mega.
"Yes, we did it!" Emma cheered.
Troy turned to face the hill once more. "Alright, Zilas, it's time to..."
"Look out!" Noah exclaimed as he pushed Troy out of the way, narrowly dodging a cannon blast.
As the Rangers' recovered from the surprise attack, they look up to see six more teams of Rangers. The leading team was the Squadron Rangers, who were holding up their team cannon.
Zilas stepped forward. "You still try to fight us. Can't you all see it's hopeless!"
"Hyah!" A voice kiaied.
A Silver figure flipped into the scene, and kicked away the Wild Card Ranger. The figure then back flipped toward the Rangers.
"Orion!" Emma exclaimed.
Orion turned his head around to face him teammates.
"Told you guys I'd catch up." Orion stated as he held a thumbs-up.
Orion turned back around to face the remaining Ranger Clone teams.
"How about we show these guys what six Silver Rangers can do?" Orion suggested.
Troy and the others stepped forward and clicked their belt buckles to summon new keys, all silver colored.
The Rangers, including Orion, placed their Silver Ranger keys into their morphers and activated them.
"Legendary Sixth Ranger Mode…Silver!"
"Robo Knight!" Troy declared as he wielded the Robo Blade.
"Silver Space Ranger!" Noah declared as he effortlessly twirled his Super Silverizer.
"Mercury Overdrive Ranger!" Gia declared brandishing the Drive Detector.
"Lunar Wolf Ranger!" Jake declared as he readied his Lunar Cue.
"Silver RPM Ranger!" Emma declared as she readied her Cloud Hatchet.
"Titanium Ranger!" Orion declared as he held up his Titanium Axe.
"The Sixth Silver lights, Powers Unite!"
"GET THEM!" Zilas roared as the remaining Ranger clones charged at the Rangers.
"Cloud Hatchet!" Emma declared as she summoned her chief weapon before racing forward to engage the Mach Speed Rangers.
"What are you guys supposed to be, Car Rangers or something?" Emma quipped as she fought the Ranger clones.
The Red and Black Mach Rangers, armed with a Sword and Hammer respectively, stepped up to destroy Emma.
"Nice try." Emma exclaimed as she raced toward them with Cloud Hatchet ready to strike.
Using her suit's speed enhancement, Emma flew past the two Rangers, slashing them to quickly to be seen by the naked eye.
The Yellow Ranger aimed its bow and arrow at Emma, firing several arrows at her.
"Ice Mode!" Emma shouted as she flipped switch #2 on her Hatchet. "Time to cool off!"
The Hatchet emitted a mist that quickly turned into ice. As it flew across the battlefield, the chunk of ice struck the arrows and broke the Yellow Ranger's bowgun. Emma leaped forward and defeated the Yellow Ranger with a single slash.
The Blue Ranger began firing blasts from its gun as the Pink Ranger was approaching Emma.
"Energy Mode!" Emma shouted as she flipped switches #1 and #3.
Her weapon now charged with power, Emma swung the Hatchet in the two clones' direction, causing several blasts to be launched toward them. The result turned the two rangers back into keys.
"Fast, but not a Turbo Ranger!" Emma quipped.
Gia was currently fighting the Sky Force Rangers, who wielded their chief weapons to fight her.
"I never really liked birds!" Gia seethed as she slashed her Detector at the Rangers.
The Yellow Owl and Blue Swallow Rangers pulled out their Bird Blasters, and fired several rounds of blasts at Gia.
Gia noticed them at the last moment, and after slashing away the other Ranger clones, used her Detector to deflect the clones' attack.
"Now you've done it!"
She charged forward to engage the two Ranger clones. She quickly dispatched the Yellow Owl with a slash from her Detector. She kicked away the Blue Swallow, allowing her to block an incoming attack from the White Swan Ranger.
"Back off!" Gia grunted as she pushed the Pink Swan off her weapon, allowing her to successfully slash the Ranger clone.
The Red Hawk and Black Condor were now approaching wielding their Jet Sabers.
Gia quickly destroyed the Blue Swallow before she rushed over to engage the Red and Black Rangers. As she was about to slash the two Rangers, Gia was surprised when the two rangers leaped up into the sky. The Two Rangers flew high above Gia's head.
"You can't get away that easily!" Gia exclaimed as she brandished her weapon. "Silverizer, blaster Mode!"'
Gia changed her Drive Detector to its blaster mode. "Time to clip your wings!"
Gia fired several blasts at the flying Rangers. She was successful, as the Red and Black Rangers were hit and descended back to the ground. A fiery explosion erupted as the two hit the ground. As the smoke cleared, it was revealed the two had been restored to their key forms.
Jake entered in combat with the Vulcan Rangers.
"Only three?" Jake quipped as he slashed his cue against the Ranger clones. "This should be a piece of cake!"
Jake leaped forward, avoiding the incoming Eagle Fire Attack from the Red Vulcan Ranger. Summoning his claw gloves, Jake dashed toward the Red Vulcan Ranger and slashed him excessively. As the Red Ranger went down, his two comrades rushed over to help out.
"Go Wild!" Jake exclaimed as he pulled out his Lunar Cue. "Lunar Cue, Sniper Mode!"
He aimed his Sniper at the two ranger clones.
The Blue Vulcan Ranger pulled out its Vulcan Rod. It attempted to slash Jake, who somersaulted out of the way.
Jake then retaliated by kicking the Blue Ranger's arm, forcing it to let go of its weapon.
The Yellow Ranger attempted to aid its comrades, but fell prey to Jake's sniper blast. The two Rangers were blasted toward the Red Ranger, who was still recovering.
Jake stood several yards away from them.
"You three are washed up!" Jake quipped as he prepared the final attack. "Lunar Cue, Break Mode!"
Jake waved his weapon in front of him, creating a green wave of light. He then summoned his Three Animal Crystals.
"Rack 'em up!" Jake quipped as he placed the crystals on the somewhat solid green energy field.
The Vulcan Rangers were frozen by the green field of energy.
"Lunar Break!" Jake declared as he used his Lunar Cue to launch the Animal Crystal like billiard cueballs. The Animal crystal went all over the Green energy field until they reached the Vulcan Rangers. Once the crystals impacted them, the Vulcan Rangers were engulfed in a fiery explosion.
The Animal crystals flew back to Jake, who caught them in his hand.
"That's game!" Jake exclaimed as the Vulcan Rangers reverted back to their key modes.
Noah entered combat with the Bio Tech Rangers. Noah noted the strange, and almost mechanical design of these Ranger's suits and helmets.
"Huh, I guess these are robot Rangers." Noah surmised as he summoned his chief weapon. "Super Silverizer!"
The Ranger clones charged, the Blue Ranger making contact with Noah first.
Noah swung his Silverizer around, knocking all but the Blue Ranger back.
The Ranger clone pulled out its sword and prepared to slash Noah with it.
"I don't think so!" Noah seethed as he turned around and blocked the attack with his sword.
Noah mustered all his strength and pushed the Blue Bio Ranger's sword of his detector, knocking the Ranger clone backwards.
That's when the Red and Green Bio Ranger rejoined the fight, both wielding short length swords.
The Blue Bio Ranger stumbled backwards, but the Red and Green Rangers leaped forward wielding their short length swords.
Noah, noticing them, leaped up and slashed them with his Silverizer, causing them to explode. Noah descended back to the ground as the Yellow and Pink Rangers summoned their Bio Blasters.
Noah looked up to see the two Rangers firing their blasters at him.
"Super Silverizer, Blaster Mode!" Noah declared as he changed his weapon's mode.
Swiftly dodging the incoming blasts coming from his opponents, Noah fired several rounds of blasts at the two incoming Rangers, destroying them as result.
The Blue Bio Ranger was beginning to recover, so Noah switched his Silverizer back to its staff mode.
"Silverizer Slash!" Noah shouted as he performed the finishing move on the Blue Ranger.
Noah performed a downward slash to finish off the Blue Ranger, restoring it to its key form.
Troy charged at the Squadron Rangers summoning the Robo Blade.
"Hyah!" Troy roared as he swung his sword at the Red Ranger who blocked the attack with its twin swords.
Troy groaned as he strained to keep the Ranger clone from attacking. "Sorry, guess we forgot about you, guys!"
Troy kicked the Red Ranger's feet, causing him to trip. Troy then turned his attention to the other Ranger clones.
The first of the clones to attack were the Blue and Green Rangers, the latter armed with nunchakus. Troy quickly slashed the Blue Ranger away with the Robo Blade and began combating with the Green Ranger, who was very skilled with his weapon.
The Pink and Yellow Rangers attempt to help their comrade by summoning their Power Rods. They charge forward at Troy and raise their rods to strike him. Troy, catching wind of them, ducks his head, causing the evil rangers' rods to strike the blue Ranger. This destroyed him as a result, allowing Troy to perform a 360 degree spin, slashing the Pink and Yellow Rangers.
The Red Ranger decided to join the fight and summoned its Dragon Sword. The Yellow and Pink recover and stand by the Red Ranger's side.
Troy changed his Robo Blade to its Robo Blaster mode and summoned his Robo Morpher. He quickly combined the two into one blaster.
"Vulcan Cannon!" Troy shouted as he summoned the Power Card and placed it into the morpher portion of the Cannon
Pressing the 8-4-8, Troy summoned the Vulcan Cannon from the Robo Morpher portion of the blaster and grabbed hold of it. He then placed it on the firing portion of the blaster.
"Vulcan Cannon, set!" Troy declared.
Troy then pulled out the Knight Dynamic card and placed it into the Robo Morpher portion. "Knight Dynamic!" Troy declared as he pressed 4-7-4.
Troy held up the blaster to the remaining Rangers, who ready to charge at him.
"Applying Maximum Force!" Troy shouted as the gun locked on to its targets. "Knight Dynamic, Fire!"
The blaster fired powerful teal blasts that engulfed the remaining Ranger clones in an explosion that restored them to their key mode.
Resting the blaster on his shoulder, Troy let out a sigh of relief. "That was for you, Robo Knight."
Orion was engaged with the Wild Card Ranger, who was using his Wild Baton against Orion's Titanium Axe. Orion twisted and dodged as fast as he could, but he just couldn't land a hit on the Wild Card. Before long, Orion made a wrong move, giving the Wild Card Ranger the chance to slash him.
Hit, Orion stumbled backwards. He now found himself surrounded by the other Wild Card Rangers, who managed to circle around him, preventing him from escaping.
"I don't think so!" Orion shouted as he turned his Titanium Axe to its blaster mode.
With all his strength, he pushed himself off the ground, and fired his Titanium Laser at the four rangers while he was still in midair. He quickly changed his weapon back to his Axe Mode and slashed the four Rangers before they were knocked back by his previous attack.
The result of Orion's attack engulfed him and the four Rangers in a fiery explosion.
After several seconds, Orion emerged wielding his Titanium Axe. He charged at the Wild Card Ranger, readying his axe to strike.
"It's the Big One for you!" Orion shouted as he landed ground and slashed the Ranger with the axe.
Orion stopped behind the Wild Card Ranger who turned around to face him. The Ranger tried to hit Orion with its staff, but Orion was quicker, performing two powerful slashes with his Titanium Axe.
Tiny explosions erupted all over the Ranger clones chest. It finally fell to the ground, exploding in impact. Seconds later, the Rangers turned back to its Key mode.
Orion turned around and held out his Axe to his face. "Fold!"
"Orion, look out!" Troy shouted.
Orion turned around to see Zilas emerging from the sky, readying to slash him with his sword.
Orion blocked the attack just in time, causing Zilas to fall to the ground, dropping his sword in the process.
The other five rangers rushed over to see what was happening, de-morphing back to their Super Mega Form. They had the treasure chest which they had put all the never before seen power keys in along with the other Legendary Keys.
Orion, de-morphing back to Super Mega, looked down at Zilas, who was completely defenseless.
"Go on, Rangers." Zilas panted gleefully. "Finish me!"
Orion summoned his trident.
"Orion..." Emma began before Troy held up his hand to stop her.
"No, this is his choice." Troy told her.
Using both hands, Orion raised his trident up, preparing to stab Zilas in the face.
For a split second, Orion's parents appeared again as spirits..
"Son, be the hero." His dad urged.
Orion nodded. "I will." He said in his mind.
Orion turned his attention back to the defenseless general below him.
"Yes, do it, Silver Ranger!" Zilas taunted.
Orion tightened his grip on his trident.
"HYYYYYAAAAAHH!" Orion roared as he brought the trident down.
Zilas turned his head away as he awaited the inevitable.
Clang!
Zilas turned his head back around to see that the Trident was sticking out of the ground. He looked up at the Silver Ranger.
"Why?" Zilas inquired increduosly. "You had me. You could have destroyed me and avenged your planet."
Orion grabbed his trident and pulled it out from the ground. Once it was within his hand, he turned around and started to walk away.
"Why, Silver Ranger?" Zilas bellowed as he slowly got back on his feet.
Orion stopped mid-step (His trident disappears) and removed his helmet. He held the helmet to his side as he turned around to face Zilas.
"When I accepted these powers, I swore an oath to defend the Earth and everything on it." Orion answered. "And like it or not, you are a part of this planet as well. So I can't destroy you."
"You realize I won't stop until this planet is under the Armada's control, do you?" Zilas questioned. "Nothing will stop me."
"If I have to destroy you, it will only be when its last resort." Orion told him. "And I'm afraid we haven't quite reached that point yet. Until then, I won't give up hope of saving you from the Armada's control."
Zilas bent down and picked up his sword.
"You'll regret this, Silver Ranger, I promise you that." Zilas sneered. "Those Rangers have made you soft."
Orion glared at Zilas. "No, they have made me stronger than I have been. They gave me the strength to realize that what I've been fighting for to this point is wrong. Destroying for revenge is not why I was chosen to be the Silver Ranger, and I realize that now."
"You say that now." Zilas growled. "But your soft-hearted feelings will cost you dearly in the future, because the next time we meet, I will won't stop fighting until all of you are at my heel. So savor this victorious moment Silver Ranger while you can, because I can assure you it won't last long."
With that said, Zilas teleported away.
Orion looked up toward the sky.
"Super Mega Rangers, that's a Super Mega Win!" Orion exclaimed as he held up his Silver Trident in triumphant.
End Notes: Whew! That was one heck of a chapter to write, but I'm proud of it. I'm not sure if the Titanium powers count as a Silver Ranger power, but it seemed close enough to use, and I didn't want to use the Nova Ranger.
I'll be honest, I never intended this tribute to be this dark and serious of a plot, but I had grown convinced that if I didn't, it wouldn't have stood out when compared to the other tributes.
Unlike the previous tributes, there is an upcoming sixth chapter, which will be the last chapter and tie up the loose ends of this tribute. It will also hint at the epilogue story coming soon, which will feature the final battle with Zilas.
