Author's Note: Here is my Halloween fanfic for this year.

Task 06: Evil Dead

A scientist in his fifties sat at his desk in a cabin. This cabin is deep in the woods in the California Badlands. He's doing research on the Necronomicon ex Mortis, otherwise known as the Book of the Dead. He's been researching this evil book for a year now and is finally done with most of the translations. Unfortunately he doesn't know the true nature of the book.

As he's writing down some notes, there is a noise coming from the basement of the cabin. He's aware of his team downstairs and decides to check in on them. Unfortunately he doesn't find his team, but he does hear the incantations he translated and notices blood all over the walls. This unnerves him greatly. Seconds later a monster attacks him and he lets out a blood curdling scream.

At the Angel Grove Natural History Museum, the Rangers were walking around the place as children from the local schools went on a tour of the museum. Naomi smiled at all of the bright faces of the children, as they listened in interest on what the tour guides or their teachers were saying. It wasn't long before they were called back for a emergency meeting.

They run into the main room of the UNAS headquarters. Billy and Tim were already there. Of course Tim was typing away at his computer. Trying to finish studying the blueprints for the new Hunters. Mr. X appears on his usual screen.

"Hello Rangers. Sorry if I pulled you away from watching the kids, but we have a problem." Mr. X said. "This man..."

A image of the scientist studying the Necronomicon appeared on the left screen. "Dr. Thadeus Berkins disappeared last night from the cabin he was staying in. As well as his entire team. Police found the basement lab walls covered in blood, even on the floors. Their bodies are missing though."

"What does this have to do with us?" Leo asked.

"Good question." Mr. X replied. The image of the Necronomicon appeared on the right screen. "This is the infamous Necronomicon ex Mortis or known as the Book of the Dead. I'm sure you're familiar with it. It was in horror movies and stuff."

"We're all familiar with the Evil Dead trilogy starring Bruce Campbell." Justin said.

"Well you must go to the cabin and investigate the mysterious disappearences of the scientists. If you can bring the Necronomicon back, if not then destroy it. If it does what it's claimed to do, then we could be up to our armpits in dead people."

"Well go investigate it." Leo said. "I think I've heard that Dr. Berkins is a mad scientist trying to find a way to bring the dead back to life."

Mr. X said. "Of course he was trying to bring back the dead. He lost his wife to a car accident. That is why he's investigating the Necronomicon. Now get down to the California Badlands and investigate."

"Let's go Rangers!" the Rangers ran to the UNAS Humvee and drove to the California Badlands.

---

The Rangers went to the cabin, which had yellow crime scene tape, and started to talk to the police.

"I don't know why you guys would be interested in any of this." the sheriff said. "This looks like a open and shut case of multiple homicide and suicide. But I'll let..."

Three deputies ran out of the cabin screaming. All three were terrified.

"What happened?"

One of the deputies turned to the sheriff. "Zombies in the basement."

The Rangers decided to go check it out.

---

The deputies were right. Dr. Berkins and his team were turned into zombies from the Necronomicon. The Rangers were able to close and lock the basement door before the zombies could enter the cabin. Leo, Justin and Derek sat on the door to keep the zombies from breaking the lock.

"Well this is a real fine mess we're in." Leo said. Using his weight to keep the basement door closed. The sheriff checked on the Rangers.

"Well looks you've got things covered." he said. "I'm calling in for backup. We'll stay with you guys until we figure out this mess."

"By the way." Justin said. "Where is the Necronomicon?"

Naomi and Ayumi went to find it but couldn't. They all realized it was still downstairs. They all let out a groan.

"Well it can't get any worse." Derek said.

---

It's now night time and the banging on the door has stopped a few hours ago. The Rangers had hoped the zombies had given up. Things aren't that easy.

"Maybe we can go downstairs and look for them. They may be sleeping." Ayumi suggested.

"Ayumi, zombies don't need sleep." Naomi said.

"I'm with Ayumi on this one guys. We need to check to see what they're up too." Justin said.

"Alright..." Leo said as he stood up. "I've got point. The rest of you follow in behind me."

"Here..." the sheriff handed his gun to Leo. "You may need this."

Leo unlocked the door and decended down the stairs. The others following behind. As they explored the basement; each one is on edge. They don't know when the zombies will come out and don't know if they'll come out. Leo ordered everyone to search a room and they did so. Only to find the basement completely empty.

"Where can they be?" Leo asked himself. Then he saw the a cellar door leading outside. Leo walked out the door and realized, the zombies have made it to the town nearby. "Oh bloody hell... Guys! We've got a problem! The zombies made it out this exit!"

"There is more bad news." Naomi said. "They took the Necronomicon with them."

"I don't think the zombies are smart enough to take a book with them." the sheriff said. "Plus that door was locked when my guys sealed this place off."

Leo thought about it for a minute. "I think I have a few guesses who could've broken the lock and released the zombies. We have to hurry into town right away."

---

Goliath has chanted the incantations to control the zombies. Not only that but he also used the book to turn most of the town into zombies. The zombies stood before him in the middle of town square. He stood on a fountain and gave a speech. The Rangers hid in a nearby alley and watched.

"I should've know he would be behind this." Justin said. "Let's get him."

"You're right. Let's do it." Leo and the Rangers grabbed their morphers out of their holsters.

"RELIC HUNTERS! ENGAGE!"

The Rangers ran up to Goliath. "Hold it right there Goliath! Give us the book!"

"Ah the Power Rangers. I knew you would show up sooner or later." Goliath said. "GET THEM!"

The zombies turned and walked towards the Rangers. The Rangers rushed into battle and started fighting the zombies with hand to hand techniques. They didn't want to hurt the zombies as they can be turned back into humans. It was kind've hard to beat the zombies, as they wouldn't stop. While this went on, Goliath read the final incantation of the Necronomicon. Which is to summon Necron, the Eternal Darkness. Once the incantation is complete, a shadow leaves the book and travels over to the video store. The shadow goes through the video and goes inside a movie labelled 'Evil Dead'. Pretty soon there is a earthquake and the Rangers wonder what is going on.

"What is this?" Derek wondered.

"Could it be from the final part of the book?" Naomi wondered.

"It may be." Leo said. "Be on guard Rangers. We don't know what will happen next."

Just then Necron burst from the video store. He has dark purple skin, glowing red eyes, two small horns sticking out of his forehead and he looks like Ash from the Evil Dead movies. Complete with chainsaw arm and shotgun.

"This is...MY BOOMSTICK!" Necron shouted.

"Billy, the Hunters!" Leo ordered.

"On their way." Billy replied and the Rangers hoped into their Hunters. Then formed the Hunter Megazord.

"Let's take him out." Leo said. The Megazord wasn't as strong as they thought and were on the receiving end.

"Perfect!" Goliath said in triumph. "He's perfect!"

"Billy send the other four Hunters!" Leo said.

"Good timing." Billy said. "I've installed a new chip for a new Megazord transformation. Try the new Super Hunter Megazord."

"Alright, here it goes..." Leo said as he pressed the button. "Super Hunter Megazord transformation! NOW!"

The Cement, Crane, Drill and Shovel Hunters arrived and the new Megazord began to come together. The Marine and Destruction Hunters went inside the bucket part of the legs. The hooks on the crane formed a horned helmet for the Megazord. The Cement and Crane Hunters became the feet. Finally the Shovel and Drill Hunters

"You can make a better robot all you want." Goliath said. "But you'll never destroy Necron!"

"Now we can beat him." Leo said. "As Bruce Campbell once said. Hail to the king baby!"

The Super Hunter Megazord energized it's two arms. The left arm slashed and then the right arm. Both slashes destroy Necron. The Rangers disembark their Megazord and confront Goliath.

"Hand it over!"

"Never! Zombies get them!"

The zombies walked toward the Rangers. Naomi, Justin, Derek and Ayumi held them off while Leo ran at Goliath. Leo then kicked the Necronomicon out of the high priest's hands and runs towards the cabin.

"Go Leo!" Naomi said as he kicked one zombie back. Leo ran and the zombie version of Dr. Berkins gave chase. Once Leo was at the cabin, he kicked the door down and threw the book into the fireplace. With his Survival Blade in Blaster Mode, he ignited the book on fire and burned it. The book was destroyed, the spell was broken and everything was back to normal. Goliath, however made a hasty retreat and Dr. Berkins's team was actually dead to begin with. So they just fell to the cement ground.

---

"I can't thank you enough Power Rangers." Dr. Berkins said. "If you hadn't destroyed the book, the whole world would've been turned into zombies."

"Your welcome Dr. Berkins." Leo said. "I'm sorry to hear that your team was slaughtered to become zombies."

"I know. Their families may sue me, but since we were UNAS scientists. My team knew what they were getting themselves into. There will be things that can kill you in the life of a UNAS scientist, you know?"

"Yes I do." Leo said and he turned to his Rangers. "Let's go home Rangers."

Author's Comment: This is kind've my spin on the Evil Dead movies. Most of the zombies were killed before they became zombies. Hence the blood on the walls. I can't explain why it didn't happen like that for the townspeople. Well next chapter it's time for the Silver Ranger. The Silver Ranger will be a girl. Plus I'm trying to figure out if I should just have my version of Zuban the Golden Sword just the way he is or the sword itself as a morpher for another Power Ranger. I'll probably figure it out when I reach that bridge. See you around and this chapter did take me one night to complete.
