Task 04: Sword of Light

Billy was laid out on a grass mat inside the Asaka Clan's infirmary. All but Derek and Katsumi are gathered around him. Billy is unconscious and struggling to stay alive. Ayumi checks his forehead with her right hand.

"He's burning up." she said.

"His temperature is rising." Leo said. "If we don't get the Sword of Light to cure him. He'll die."

Naomi looks down at Billy while placing a bag of ice on his head, to lower his fever. "Hurry Derek. Get the sword quickly."

Derek and Katsumi arrive at a temple in the mountains outside Tokyo. Katsumi knocks on the door and it is opened. The temple priest bows and the two bow back in respect.

"What is your business here Katsumi-San?" the priest asked.

"We need the Sword of Light." Katsumi replied. Then she turned to Derek. "His friend has been poisoned by the Sword of Darkness."

"I see. Come here and I'll see if you're worthy of the trials." Derek walks forward and the priest places his hand on Derek's forehead and closes his eyes. The priest sees images of Derek's past in the Air Force Academy and seems satisfied with Derek's past. "You're one of those that walks the Path of Redemption. You may proceed to the trails behind me."

Derek walks toward a door when he turns around. "What is the Path of Redemption? I've heard the Grand Master of the Asaka Clan mention it."

"You'll find out once you pass the trials." the priest said. "Now go."

Goliath stood in front of Yaiba and Kikyo. "I'll give you my Golems to destroy those Power Rangers."

"We would accept them but it is not our decision." Yaiba said.

"It's mine." Oragami flew in and lands on his perch. "Now show me those Golems."

Goliath summons five Golems from his rock hand, his left hand. Oragami grins, well grins as much as a owl can grin. Yaiba and Kikyo brings in a box of CDs and a lock.

"Let's test them shall we?" Oragami resurrects Lock Master using sutras. Lock Master then destroys the five Golems without breaking a sweat.

"We broke your toys." Kikyo said.

Goliath growls and leaves.

"Kikyo, you and Lock Master go and find the Rangers. Make sure you finish them off this time."

"At once!" Kikyo and Lock Master vanished in a cloud of smoke.

"How is he doing?" Leo asked Ayumi. She looks down at the sleeping Billy.

"He's doing okay." Ayumi replied. "But I don't know how much time we have left."

"Come on Derek." Naomi said in a whisper.

---

Derek has finally made it through the trials. All of them tested his physical endurance and intellect. The Sword of Light was right there in front of his eyes. The sword was the exact opposite of the Sword of Darkness. From it's look to it's powers. Derek grabbed the sword and looked at it. He could sense a gentle aura from it. He knew he had done it and made his way back.

---

The Rangers watched on Billy's laptop as Lock Master began a rampage on Tokyo. They couldn't do anything right now.

"Where's Derek?" Leo asked. At that precise moment, Derek runs in with the sword. Katsumi following behind. "Finally!"

"Derek, hurry!" Ayumi said. Derek pulled the sword out and held it over Billy. Light began to pour out from the blade and eventually healed Billy. Billy himself began to come around.

"What happened?" he asked.

"We'll fill you in later Billy." Leo said as he grabbed his morpher. "We better go stop Lock Master you guys."

"RELIC HUNTERS! ENGAGE!"

---

The Hunters drove towards the large Lock Master. Then combined into the Hunter Megazord.

"Well look who's here." Lock Master said.

"It's time we end this right here and now Lock Master." Leo said.

"I fully agree!" and the two giants started to fight. Lock Master punched the Megazord in the chest, causing sparks to fly from it. The Megazord stands back and analyzes the situation. Actually the Rangers figure out what they should do.

"Let's give him a little taste of the Megazord's sword." Justin said. Leo and the others agreed. The pickaxe and shovel combined to form the sword.

"Energize!" Leo ordered and the sword energized and destroyed Lock Master for good.

---

The Rangers gathered for the unveiling of the Sword of Darkness. Unfortunately the sword about to unveiled is a replica. The real one is now under UNAS custody, along with the Sword of Light. Billy held the sword while Derek held the Sword of Light.

"I can't believe they don't care that they're looking at a replica." Justin said.

"Well they know it's a replica, but it looks just like the real thing." Derek said. "They're still working on the Sword of Light replica though."

"We should get going." Billy said. "Both of these swords have to be placed in the highest secure safe at the musuem, the Class S Holding Area."

The Rangers left and went home.

Author's Comment: Okay sorry for the late update. I've been working on other important fics as you can see. As for Derek learing the Path of Redemption. I've decided to include what he was told in a later chapter. Hence you never saw him learning what he was promised for taking the trials to get the Sword of Light. Furthermore, Derek will have to face his past in a later chapter. Which will be after the Silver Ranger is introduced. Next chapter is going to be a difficult decision. Do I introduce the Cement Hunter or the Drill Hunter? I should probably bring in the Drill Hunter, since that was introduced before the Cement Hunter in Boukenger. Okay in the next chapter the Rangers go to look for Noah's Ark. Yes Noah's Ark. Only the Draconians and the United States government want what is hidden on the Ark. What could the U.S. government want so bad that is on Ararat and are trying to keep information secret from the U.N.? Find out when the Rangers go through a adventure based on the book Babylon Rising Book 2: The Secret of Ararat.
