A/N: So here it is, chapter eight. I hope you all enjoy it, it took me a bit longer because of internet problems but here it is. Also a friend of mine, Jeremy Shane has posted a new story, a Power Ranger/Victorious Crossover which features Neveah who I have allowed him to write into his story. It is a great story and he does a wonderful job capturing Neve even though there is only one chapter so far. So go check it out.
Moving on I will have the next chapter up soon enough, R&R!
Purple with Shock.
Chapter 8: Stop the Hate Master: Part II.
Previously:
"The Power Rangers are history," Billy said.
"But Billy, your all friends," Alpha said, trying to persuade them but Adam laughed.
"Friends?" Adam began. "Not anymore tinman." then Billy hit a button and they were all teleported out.
"Ai-yi-yi, is it possible that Zedd has created the perfect monster?" Alpha asked and Aisha sighed sadly.
"How come I didn't fall under the spell?" Aisha asked looking at Zordon.
"ALPHA, RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON AISHA," he began. "LETS SEE IF WE CAN FIND OUT WHY SHE WAS NOT EFFECTED LIKE THE OTHERS."
"Right away Zordon," Alpha said.
"THE ANSWER TO THAT RIDDLE WILL HELP US FREE THE OTHER RANGERS FROM THE HATE MASTER'S SPELL."
"and if It doesn't?" Aisha asked.
"THEN EVENTUALLY THE POWER RANGERS WILL TURN THEIR POWER ON EACH OTHER AND DESTROY THEMSELVES," Zordon answered and Aisha sighed and looked down. What was she going to do?
Present Day; Angel Grove 1995:
Aisha stood in the command center moments latter, alpha taking a hand held scanner over Aisha slowly.
"KEEP LOOKING ALPHA," Zordon began. "WE MUST FIND WHAT IS KEEPING AISHA IMMUNE TO HATE MASTERS HATE DUST."
"Have you found anything yet?" Aisha asked and Alpha shook his head.
"Not so far Aisha," Alpha replied.
"IF WE CAN FIND WHAT IS SAVING AISHA FROM HATE MASTER'S SPELL THEN WE MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE THE RANGER," Zordon told the two in front of him. "IT IS OUR ONLY HOPE."
"Zordon, I've got something!" Alpha exclaimed a few seconds latter as the scanner rolled over her chest area and beeped a little. "It's coming from Aisha's necklace. It's admitting some kind of strong energy wave." Aisha looked down at the heart pendent and blinked, picking it up with her hands slightly as she inspected it. How could this little thing save her from one of Rita and Zedd's monsters?
"My grandma gave me this necklace," Aisha told Alpha and Alpha turned to Zordon after nodding.
"According to my readings this stone has been absorbing the energy admitted by those who have handled it." Zordon nodded at Alpha's words.
"YES, IT APPEARS TO BE MADE UP OF PURE GENEROSITY AND CARING," Zordon said. "THE ENERGY MUST HAVE ACTED AS A SHIELD AGAINST hate mast...ers ….dust..." Zordon became to fizzle out almost like bad reception on a radio and then the power left and the Command Center was dark.
"Ai-yi-yi, someone's pulled out plug," Alpha said. Aisha darted to the control consul and then after looking at it she gasped.
"Zordon's gone," she said and Alpha nodded.
"Yes, we've lost power, even to the back up generator!" Alpha exclaimed. "Ai-yi-yi."
"What's happening!" Aisha asked and Alpha sighed.
xXx
After leaving the Command Centers earlier the Rangers had went to the Youth Center. At the moment Billy sat at a table fiddling with one of his contraptions and smiled in accomplishment as he finished and shut a small door like thing on the round device.
"That should take care of ya Zordon," Billy said with a smirk. "Am I good or what?" Kim wondered over, her hands behind her back and snorted.
"Hello little nerd boy," Kim began, her voice nowhere near as kind and gentle as it usually was. "Is this one of your inventions? Get a life." Billy rolled his eyes and Neve wondered past stopping to look at the device as well.
"Listen you snippy little upstart," Billy snapped as Kim walked around to stand beside Neve who rolled her eyes. And both girls made a sound of amusement.
"Excuse me?" Kim asked.
"You heard me, unless all that bleach has finally cut off the use of your ears," Billy began even though they knew Kim didn't use bleach in her hair. "For you information I just cut the power off to the command center." Neve smirked.
"Well, at least you did something worth anything with that big brain of yours," Neve said and Billy narrowed his eyes at her.
"For someone who has graduated from High School your just as brain dead as Pinky over there," Billy said and then smirked. "It must be a Pink thing." Both Neve and Kim looked at Billy scandalized.
"Now leave me alone and go find a mall to inflect yourselves on," he said and Kim huffed and walked away but Neve just back away some to were Tommy sat and huffed and crossed her arms as Tommy got off his stool and came to Billy's other side.
"Yeah cool," Tommy said. "Without power old man Zordon won't be bugging me anymore huh?" Billy made a small sound of amusement.
"Sounds like a dream," Hunter said from a stood beside Neve, thought they were pretty far apart, unusually so for them, and Neve hadn't even really realized he was there.
"Yeah, I'm free to do whatever I want," Adam said, walking away. Rocky got up angrily and threw a straw down.
"What I want," Rocky began as he slowly began walking away. "Is to stay away from you clowns." Neve snorted.
"Ha, what I want is to go home," Neve said pouting and Hunter chuckled bitterly.
"Why am I not surprised your whining?" Hunter asked and Neve turned glaring.
"I'm not whining," Neve said, rolling her eyes. "Besides your the one who's slowing me down from finding a way home." Hunter rolled his eyes as he stood getting into Neve's face and Neve glared and stood on her tiptoes as if it would make her more menacing. The others who were still around, namely Billy, Tommy and Rocky all groaned as the Purple and Gold Rangers went at it again.
"If anyone is dragging their ass it's you!" Neve gasped and scuffed.
"Yeah right, I'm as light as a feather," Neve argued and Hunter smirked.
"As a bull maybe," Hunter said. "I think you've been splurging on desert Neveah, is that a fat roll I detect?" Neve looked at him and gasped, placing her hands on her stomach and glaring at him, growling low in her throat.
"You lie, I'm as fit as ever!" Neve yelled. "I can't say the same for you though, have those thunder powers of your finally killed off what's left of your braincells!"
Billy sighed as he rolled his eyes at the twos argument which was getting more heated.
"Here we go again," he muttered.
xXx
On the Moon Zedd was watching all of this and chuckled darkly. Everything was going as planed. Soon the Rangers would destroy themselves!
"You know, when they're nasty there almost cute," Zedd said. "Well Zordon, it's audios to you and hello to the new hate filled Rangers." Rita smiled evilly as she walked up behind Zedd.
"What about Aisha?" Rita asked. "She could still spoil my anniversary present. Zedd you better do something about that renegade Ranger."
"Don't worry, If Hate Master doesn't get her the other Rangers will," Zedd told his wife and Rita chuckled in glee.
"I can't wait, hahaha!" Rita cackled.
xXx
"Ai-yi-yi! It's no use, I can't restore power to the generator or back up generators," Alpha said as he walked over to where Aisha stood. She sighed.
"And that means no Zordon," she said shaking her head. "What could have caused this?"
"Not what, who?" Alpha began shaking his head. "There is only one person who knows this place well enough to do this."
"Billy, he knows everything about the Command system," Aisha said with a exasperated sigh. How could this be happening, even filled with hate she found it hard to believe Billy could or would do something like this.
"Yes, " Alpha said. "And that makes him dangerous to us."
"All the Power Rangers are potential threats now," Aisha muttered shaking her head in disbelief. Zedd had really done it this time, now she had to find a way to make sure he didn't get away with it. Her friends need her.
"Unless I can find a alternate power source I'll be unable to teleport anyone in or out. We'll be struck in here forever!" Alpha exclaimed. Aisha looked at Alpha in shock and bit the inside of her cheek. What would they do? She had to get out of here, or she would never be able to help her friends.
"We've got to figure something out," Aisha said. "The others need us." Alpha nodded.
"I'm on it," Alpha said and began moving around. Aisha began to walk around slightly, pacing back and forth as she thought. Finally she came to a stop in front of the viewing globe and stared at it. Shaking her head she sighs.
"Lord Zedd has really done it this time hasn't he?" she asked and turned.
"Yeah, I hate him. Wait, that's probably what he want," Alpha began, Aisha coming to stand in front of him. "I refuse to hate him, but ooh, he really charges my circuits." Aisha's face had a look of realization as her eyes widened and a grin broke out on her face.
"Wait a minute!" Aisha exclaimed. "That's it!"
"What's it?"
"Alpha, how much power would it take to teleport out of here?" Aisha asked and Alpha shrugged.
"A minimal amount," Alpha replied. Aisha nodded with a smile.
"And if I got out of here, I could find out what's blocking the power and I could shut it down," Aisha told the robot and Alpha would have blinked had he had eyelids.
"But Aisha, we don't even have the amount of power to teleport you out." Aisha smiled.
"But we do." Seeing that Alpha wasn't understanding she chuckled and clarified. "It's you!" Alpha nodded.
"Of course! I'll connect my circuitry into the main computer and use my power to get it operating," Alpha said. "Excellent!" they high-fived each other and Alpha went to work.
xXx
Back at the youth center Adam and Tommy enter. Another student from AG High was working out on the mat when Adam glares.
"Hey!" he calls and the students stops immediately. "Beat it, I'm working out here." the student not wanting a fight picked his bag up quickly and left just as Billy, Kimberly, Rocky, Hunter and Neve came in, crowding around just as Tommy confronted Adam.
"Sorry pal, but this spot is already reserved," Tommy said with a smirk. "For me." Adam scuffed as he poked Tommy in the chest.
"Why, you aren't any good," Adam replied and Neve chuckled slightly.
"Ouch, that had to hurt," Neve muttered and Hunter made a noise from the other side of Billy, Neve standing beside Kim.
"Yeah, must have for you to think of it," Hunter said and they all sighed, but Neve just crossed her arms and turned away from Hunter as Tommy and Adam glared at each other.
"I say we find out who's the best right now," Tommy said dusting off her white shirt where Adam had poked him. Rocky laughed from his spot grinning and placed his hands on Kim and Billy's shoulders since he was standing in between them and the pink and blue clad teens stepped away and batted his hands away glaring. Billy bumped into Hunter, and Kim bumped into Neve, both of which pushed the offending Rangers away from them.
"Watch it," Neve hissed.
"Your on," Adam said as they both circled each other and fell into stances.
"This should be interesting," Hunter said with a smirk. The other three observing Rangers could not help but agree with him.
xXx
"Okay, I'm ready," Alpha said as he stood hooked to the computers. Aisha nodded.
"Here it goes," she said as she reached out and pushed a button on his chest. Alpha began to shake some and make sounds of discomfort until it was over and he sighed.
"It's working!" Aisha exclaimed and Alpha nodded.
"Yes, and now I'm able to detect the source of the power blockage," Alpha began. "It's coming from the juice bar." Aisha nodded. Things were beginning to look up.
"Get me there and I'll shut it down." Alpha sighed and shook his head.
"But Aisha, I don't have enough power to get you all the way to the Youth Center," Alpha told her and Aisha nodded.
"Well, teleport me to the park and I'll make it from there," Aisha replied and then a moment latter reached down and unhook her necklace. Handing it to Alpha she spoke.
"Here." Alpha looked down at it and shook his head.
"I can't take this," he said. "Without your necklace, you'll no longer be protected from the Hate Master's evil particles."
"If I'm able to restore the power to the command center, you're going to need my necklace to block the Hate Masters spell on the other Rangers," Aisha told Alpha who took one of Aisha's hands.
"Your a real Power Ranger Aisha," Alpha said and Aisha smiled and nodded. "Teleporting now." not a moment after Alpha said this Aisha disappeared in a beam of yellow energy.
"Good luck Aisha," Alpha said as she left and went back tot he computers to see if he could do anything more.
xXx
Aisha landed in the park, thankfully a part the was not populated at the time. She looked around and began to move to leave, running through the park towards the Juice Bar when suddenly a group of tenga's fell from a tree on a sandy area. She stopped and gasped backing up some.
"Oh great Tengas," she muttered before falling into stance. "Ninja Ranger Power now!" in a flash of yellow she was garbed in her yellow ninjetti garb and flipped through the air, landing with her feet in the hands of two tengas. She used them like a push board and flipped again this time walking along the shoulders of the other tengas rushing to where she once was before flipping off to land close to the lake. As the tengas rushed forward she back flipped and rolled before running forward and kicking on in the chest using it once again to flip backwards after she had kicked it.
Another came at her and she grabbed it by the arm and flipped it onto it's back before driving her fist into it's chest. As the fight continued she did not notice two Tenga's with a dust pan and broom like contractions coming over. They knelt down close to where Aisha was flipping and moving around, fighting the other Tengas and collected some of the dust.
"Caw, a Tenga's work is never done," one said and the other nodded.
"How come Zedd never does this stuff?" the other asked and the one sweeping shrugged.
"I don't know." Aisha finally noticed and as she kicked one in the chest she turned observed the two tenga who noticed Aisha had noticed them and stood running away. She gasped, wondering where they were going and she turned to see the others leaving as well.
"Hey!" she called. "Where are you going?" looking around she sighed.
"I wish someone would tell me what's going on," she muttered as she grabbed her Ninjetti garb demorphed. Looking around her she sighed. This was getting weird. What were those Tengas doing?
"Hey Yellow Ranger we finally meet," the Hate Master began and Aisha turned sharply to where he stood. "My unfriendly Tenga got the stuff from your feet. The Earth that you touch I need to collect so the dust that I make can be perfected. I roll it around to get the right dose now everything you love will really be gross." The Hate Master threw the dust around and moved his hands as he spoke in rap.
"Breaking you down is part of the production, join your Ranger friends on the path to self destruction." Hate Master waved his hands around and red particles came out towards Aisha as he continued. Aisha shook her head as the particles swirled around her. She couldn't give in, not now that she was so close.
"No," Aisha muttered as she stumbled forward, towards Hate Master.
"Come on Yellow Ranger, you can't resist your fate. Surrender right now and give into the hate. Give into the Hate."
"No, I won't.." she muttered as she stumbled forward even more and as the sound grew louder she clutched at her ears and yelled.
"No, I won't listen to you!"
"There's no reason to continue your persistence, the sounds that you hear are the cracks in your resistance," Hate Master began again. "It's not too late, you'll learn to hate, you'll learn to hate."
"Forget good thought, think only bad. It's hard to be happy but it's easy to be mad," Hate Master said as Aisha struggled, falling to one knee before forcing herself to stand up once again.
"No..." she muttered. "Don't give in."
"Would you give in already, doing this is no snap. It really isn't easy talking all the time in rap. Give in!" the Hate Master encouraged and Aisha stood slowly, her face determined.
"Think good thoughts," she muttered and her grandmothers words came back to her.
"You've got be strong and confident inside, and rise against it all," Grandma Campbell said. "And remember, love conquers all."
Love conquers all. Aisha sighed in relief as the sound went away and the red particles did as well.
"How can this be, what's happening to me?" Hate Master asked as he looked at his hands.
"I won't let hate control me," Aisha told Hate Master. "My grandma taught me that."
"Will you quite all your harping, I need to go rest, I need to recharge, see ya latter power pest." With that the Hate Master disappeared and Aisha sighed.
"This is getting crazy," Aisha said shaking her head before she turned and ran off to complete her mission.
xXx
"You and I both know I should be in charge of the team," Adam spat as they circled one another and the Rangers all snorted.
"Yeah right," Neve muttered.
"Yeah, you want a piece of me? Come on," Tommy said just as Aisha came in and Neve clapped excepting to see some action but Aisha gasped and rushed over.
"Adam, Tommy! No!" she called ran forward getting in between them just in time. Neve rolled her eyes and sighed as the others rolled theirs as well. "Violence doesn't prove anything."
"I beg to differ," Neve muttered and Hunter nodded.
"I hate to agree with her but I can't argue with that one," Hunter said and Neve glared at him.
"You two are great athlete with awesome skills, but those skills should not be used to hurt each other or anyone else for that matter," Aisha said looking between Adam and Tommy.
"God kill me now," Neveah said and Hunter smirked.
"I could help you with that," he said and Neve glared turning to her boyfriend.
"Oh that's nice, who's the psycho now lover?" Neve spat and Hunter growled at her.
"Better you the me," he spat back and Aisha turned to them.
"What is wrong with you two?" Aisha asked. "Not even these guys have been so mean to each other. You two are in love, how can you be so mean to each other?" Hunter and Neve both snorted.
"Love," Neve scuffed. "With him, I'd rather be boiled alive."
"I'd rather boil you alive," Hunter said crossing his arms and Aisha sighed.
"Guys fight this, we're all friends. We care for each other, why should we hate each other?" Aisha asked as she looked at each of her friends. Slowly one by one they all glowed red for a split second and groaned, their heads beginning to hut a bit and fog up but soon the memories would all come back. They had already begun to.
"Aisha?" Billy questioned as he handed Aisha a device and she smiled and began to work on shutting it down.
"Thanks Billy," Aisha said. Everyone looked at each other and Hunter and Neve stared at each other.
"What have we done?" Tommy asked and Neve sighed.
"I think we hated each other? But how could we have been so mean to each other?" Neveah asked and everyone shook their heads as they began to walk away.
"Thank you guys," Aisha said and she stood in between Kim and Neve. "You guys worked really hard to get rid of the hate. It's not easy I know but you've got to listen to your heart."
"I just don't understand, I can still fill it too," Hunter said as he groaned, part of him was hateful to Neve and the others the other part hated himself for what he'd said and done to Neve and the others. The same could be said for the others beside Aisha when suddenly they all gripped their heads and they flashed red once more and their headaches were gone.
"Oh man, what's going on?" Tommy finally asked. "The memories are so blurry." Aisha smiled as she looked at them.
"You guys were under the Hate Masters spell," she told them.
"uh, I've never felt so disgusted in my life," Neve said shaking her head as she held her head in her hands. "Actually I take that back, but this is a close second or third." Hunter sighed as she rubbed his and then their communicators beeped and they looked at each other and walked out of the youth center and around back where no one was.
"Yes Zordon?" Aisha asked.
"Rangers, welcome back," Zordon said and Aisha smiled.
"Thanks," she replies and Zordon continues.
"Hate Master is attacking Angel Grove."
"We're on it," Tommy says and after looking around once more they place their hands behind their back and begin to morph. "It's Morphin time!"
"White Ranger Power!"
"Gold Ranger Power!"
"Black Ranger Power!"
"Pink Ranger Power!"
"Purple Ranger Power!"
"Blue Ranger Power!"
"Yellow Ranger Power!"
"Red Ranger Power!"
After morphing they all teleported to the park and summoned their Zords.
"We need Ninja Zord Power Now!" with that the eight Ninja Zords raced towards them and they jumped inside.
"Ape Ninja Zord Power up!" Rocky called as he came to rest inside his cockpit.
"Crane Ninja Zord Power up!"
"Dragonfly Ninja Zord Power up!" Neve called after Kim.
"Bear Ninja Zord Power up!"
"Snake Ninja Zord Power up!"
"Wolf Ninja Zord Power up!"
"Frog Ninja Zord Power up!" Adam called and Tommy called out last.
"Falcon Zord power up!" Tommy called. "initiate battle sequence now!" With that the Zords began to race to the scene.
"I'm so big and Angel Grove is so small, why spreading hate here won't be hard at all," the Hate Master said with a laugh.
"I'm gonna love destroying this hate monster," Tommy said and Hunter chuckled.
"No complaints here," Hunter said.
"I'm gonna bring this guy down now, with frog power!" Adam called and the frog zord hopped in front of the Hate Master.
"Oh how cute, a Ranger frog suit." Just as the Hate Master said this the mouth on the frog zord opened and a ramp came down, probably the tongue and little mini frog Zords leaped out and then to the Hate Master attaching themselves to him.
"Oh gee, I'm not a lily pad," Hate Master said as they sent electrical power through him and a stream of fire shot from the frog Zord's mouth.
"I could really use some help here," Adam said and Tommy nodded.
"I know how to finish this job," Tommy said. "We need titanus power now!"
Titanus came forward from it's resting place and the Hate Master glowered as the large Zord shot fire like balls from it's mouth at him and he stumbled back.
"Ape Ninja Zord, battle ready now!" Rocky called from his zord and the Ape Zord formed a sword, similar to the power sword, possibly even was the power sword and attacked. "Here comes a large blow to your ego Hate Master."
"This is for you, I'm gonna swoop down and sprinkle you with a little dust of our own," Tommy said as he readied the missiles on his falcon zord. "Falcon zord, fire!" the missiles left and hit the Hate Master as the Wolf zord shot lasers from his eyes at the Hate Master and the Snake Zord slithered up next.
"I'm gonna teach you not to mess with someone mind Hate Master," Hunter growled and lasers came the snakes eyes and then it's tail swung around and slashed at the stumbling Hate Master.
"Listen up you absolute abomination," Aisha began. "Prepare yourself for the power of the bear and lasers were fired from the bears eyes. Then the Crane and Dragonfly swooped in together in graceful arches around each other and the Hate Master.
"Time's up sour puss," Kim said and Neve chuckled.
"What she said, we're gonna show you not to mess with the Power Rangers," Neve said and Kim fired her lasers as Neve fired a wind-fire twister at the monster making it fall to it's knees.
"What a way to go!" the Hate Master cried as he exploded.
"Wow, yes alright!" Aisha cheered.
"Alright everybody, our work is finished here," Tommy said and the others nodded.
"He's right, let's head back," Hunter said and everyone nodded and left.
xXx
Everyone had headed back to the Youth Center after the battle and sat a table. Aisha though was talking to another girl but soon finished and jogged over to the others, exited.
"Guys guess what," Aisha began. "Diane from the club asked me if I wanted to join."
"What?" Kimberly asked, shocked. Neve also stared at Aisha but was smiling.
"Yeah, when they found I didn't make the list Diane and the other girls launched an investigation and found out Veronica was rejecting a lot of other girls based souly on their income," Aisha explained. "So they asked her to resign."
"Got to love Karma," Neve said smirking.
"That's great, so are you going to do it?" Tommy asked and Aisha grinned.
"Well only if my two best friends would join with me," Aisha began and Kim and Neve smiled. "Honor, acceptance, service and understanding is what the Angel Girls Club is about and Kimberly and Neveah are definitely that."
"I would love to," Kim said and Neve nodded.
"Same here, I couldn't let you two have all the fun now could I?" Neve teased and they all chuckled. Then the atmosphere became more serious and they all looked at each other.
"So today's really been crazy huh?" Kim asked and everyone nodded.
"Yeah, look I'm really sorry about the things I said. I don't really think your all jokes," Tommy said and everyone nodded.
"Same here, I don't think your all unintelligent at all," Billy said. Adam looked down and then at everyone.
"Yeah, your my friends and I'm sorry for being mean as well. I also don't think your a bad leader Tommy, I couldn't handle leading the way you do," Adam said and Tommy nodded.
"I think we're all sorry," Neve said. "We said a lot of mean things but I think I was pretty down right nasty. I don't think your a Malibu Barbie Kimi, you don't even look like her." Kim smiled and nodded.
"Same here, we are definitely no airheads," Kim said hugging Neve.
"I also want to apologize for everything Hunter, I don't know why we were so nasty to each other but I shouldn't have brought up your parents or Nix," Neve said looking at her boyfriend who smiled.
"Nix?" the others questioned and Neve shook her head.
"It's complicated, I'll explain latter," Neve said and Hunter nodded.
"It's okay, I was just as mean. I don't think your fat or whiny or anything else I said. I'd also never want to hurt you," Hunter said and Neve leaned into his side as the other Rangers aw'd and Neve blushed some and they all burst into laughter. Putting their hands out in front of them they all placed them, one over the other.
"Friends forever?" Aisha asked and the other Rangers nodded.
"Friends forever!" they called in unison and threw their hands up with a laugh. Thing were back to normal.
