A/N: Hey guys! I hope I left you hanging on the last chapter for more? Well that was the point. I'll continue where I left off. As you'll remember I left off with Kim and Tommy arriving back in town to see the destruction left behind by the tornado. Now you're about to find out what caused the tornado. I mean come on! How could it just be a storm in Power Rangers? LOL Oh, also to mention this story is nearing it's end when I'll wrap up the mysterious guy who attacked Kim, the storm, everything. (but not all this chapter) I hope you've enjoyed it so far! However in this chapter you will see the demise of Zedd, Rita and their goons.
Chapter 10
As we teleported into the Command Center I was relieved to find it still standing but then again how could a storm destroy a place like this?
TOMMY, KIMBERLY IT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE STORM. PLEASE GO TO THE JUICE BAR, WHICH IS WHERE YOUR FRIENDS ARE AT.
Tommy nodded and gave Zordon the same sentiments right as we were teleported out to near the Juice Bar. I looked at the building sadly noting that today's job would be clean up. Glancing at Tommy I smiled and pointed at the destruction. The sign was gone, crushed on the ground, the windows busted out, the trees and bushes gone up rooted. But at least the building was still standing. We stepped towards it, stopping just as Ernie was coming out with Rocky carefully carrying a soggy table between them. The room must have flooded as I noticed a lot of the chairs and tables laid out on the concrete. I also saw that many of the arcade game were in a trash pile, obviously ruined by the water. I rushed up to Ernie just as he sat the table down.
"Tommy, Kim!" Rocky hurried over and hugged me, shaking Tommy's hand, "glad to see you two are OK. Where've y'all been?"
"No where," I said quietly sneaking a long look at Tommy who didn't say a word. "But we came to help out."
"Well there's plenty to get done, grab a bag or a broom and start working!" Ernie had a grateful look on his face. "Even Bulk and Skull showed up to help. They brought panes of glass and are installing them. Aisha's inside inventorying the kitchen. Adam is working on pulling out the gym equipment, so he could probably use your help Tommy. Kim maybe you could see if Aisha needs help? Billy's fixing my cash register and computer. Once the window panes are back in we'll need to repaint the walls which are clean already."
Without any other instructions we took off in the areas that Ernie suggested. It was tiring work but good. It was important to get this place back up and running as soon as possible so that we could use it again.
"How bad was school hit?" I asked Aisha as I sat cups on the counter. We had finished the plates, and were now doing the cups to see which ones were good and which ones we just needed to throw out.
"It was bad, most of it is gone." She told me as she started counting as I put the last of the cups on the counter.
"Wow, I'm so glad we're all OK though."
She nodded as she put the final count down which was about a quarter of the number before the storms. As we were working our communicators went off. "Oh great," Aisha glanced at me as we hurried out around back to a designated quiet spot. This was the spot we came to when we got called at the Youth Center.
"Yes Alpha?" Tommy spoke as soon as were all there.
"Zordon needs you at the command center immediately." We were teleported straight away to the command center. There Zordon didn't give us a second to talk.
RANGERS, WE HAVE DETERMINDED THE CAUSE OF THIS STORM. ZEDD AND RITA ATTEMPTED TO BRING BACK IVAN OOZE BUT HAVE LUCKILY FAILED. HOWEVER THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL IN BRINGING BACK HIS MONSTERS. THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING RESTORED AT THE OLD PLANT WHERE OOZE ONCE BROUGHT THEM TO LIFE. GO AND DESTROY THEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
It was a collective groan from those of us who'd fought Ivan's monsters. The things were massive, made of ooze and very difficult to defeat. Tommy looked at all of us one at a time with a sigh. "It's Morphin time!" He yelled quickly without a chance for anyone to think. Here we go again I thought with a groan as we landed, morphed outside the toxic plant.
"Alright so tell me again about these things?" Katherine asked. I glanced at her for a moment, remembering that she knew nothing about them.
"Nothing needs to be told, really. You'll find out," I said spitefully.
Tommy gave me a look and I decided I should just pay attention to everything else. "They are huge, they are destructive. They can destroy the city. It's our job to stop them before they come back to life completely."
"How do you propose that?" Billy asked him. Aisha looked thoughtful as we looked inside the building through some grimy windows. We could see the animorphicans being reconstructed by putties and the rest of the goons. I turned to look at my friends.
"I don't get why they tried to bring Ooze back after he nearly destroyed them."
"Because Zedd and Rita can't beat us, they need someone, something they think can." Rocky responded. I nodded then looking back through the window.
"We need to call on our Zords. Maybe we should attack now, fire off our missiles and rockets onto the building, perhaps it will destroy not only the plant but the machines as well." Billy suggested. Our eyes lit up at that. Billy was definitely the brains around here and we all agreed. Without a second thought we called on our Zords. This was all in a days work.
As soon as we had called on our animal fighting machines we were in the air and flying into our individual Zords. I sighed as I took the handle of my Crane. It felt good to be back but there would be time to think about it later. Right now it was time to concentrate on the battle ahead.
I watched silently as the Falcon's rockets flew through the air followed closely by electrical warfare. This was going to be a fast win. I released the Crane's own rockets which flew to the ground in fast past. Instantly this entire defense hit at the same time, the building obliterated. And with it all of a sudden there was a wave of light escaping the building. We were flown from our Zords and landed inside the Command Center.
RANGERS YOU DID IT! YOU HAVE DESTROYED THE MACHINES. YOU ALSO DESTROYED ZEDD AND RITA IN THE PROCESS. EVIL IS GONE AND WE ARE SAFE.
