Sorry for not updating in a while, lacrosse season started and it's conflicting with my main schedule. It's got me practically booked for as long as possible, but I'm still going to throw in updates everywhere when I get the chance.
==Valhalla, Asgard==
Father took a breath of the clean, pure air of Valhalla and smiled. It was only a matter of time before the fuse to bring it with the Earth was complete and he wouldn't let anything delay it. He walked around the mythological heaven to assure that everything was still in place for the Ragnarok.
So far, none of his disciples had accomplished their twisted, cultic goal. While he was disappointed, he had to be thankful for the fact that there were till people willing to put up with his old and corrupted ways. The times were changing and magic was starting to appear less and less like a reality, so he was glad that there were still those who believed in it.
He walked over to the great hall that was in the center of the land. He smiled as he marveled its splendor; the palace that he would call home in the future. He was a man of his word, and he would stop at nothing to bring his visions into reality.
"Open the gates." he told a guardian standing in front of the hall.
"As you wish, my master." the guardian nodded and waved his hand in the sky. The two of them watched as the gates separated. "You may enter."
"I look to this being complete when the time arrives." Father told him and walked into the hall.
He breathed the fresh, heavenly air of Valhalla within his castle. It was a great feeling that he would be a legendary king very soon. He only had the pesky Power Rangers to dispose of. He had to admit, they were a tough bunch of people to get rid of, but he would do it.
"Sir!" he called out to one of his guardians. "Fetch me a flower of Folkvangr."
"As you ask." the guardian bowed before exiting the castle.
"Make it quick." Father replied.
Father stood around and waited for the guardian to finally reenter the palace. When he saw the guardian run straight through the door, he smiled and looked at the beautiful white flower in his hand. The guardian made his way to Father and handed him the flower.
"Picked straight from Folkvangr." the guardian panted. "Wow, I'm out of breath."
"Take rest, you have done well." Father nodded. He sighed and took a bite out of the flower, immersing himself in its power.
He walked all the way up the staircase until he reached his solid gold throne. He smiled lightly and took a seat on it. It was made entirely of the golden leaves of Glasir, giving it a magical feel that could only be comprehended by him. Soon, his fantasy world would merge with reality. Before he could do that, he had something else to take care of.
==Stanford, California, United States==
Things started to settle down on that Sunday afternoon as the other Rangers prepared to leave back home. They still had a few hours with their teammates, so they wanted to spend it well. After all the craziness ended, they decided to just go out for a celebratory lunch at the local Thai restaurant.
"There's nothing that can possibly happen now." Raylan assured his team. "We've got them running for a while."
"But what that dude said still bothers me." Ryleigh admitted. "There's so much that we never even thought was possible. Who knows what else these guys are up to?"
"We're just going to have to wait and see." Raylan shrugged. "Unless you have a better idea, which I would love to hear."
As Raylan said that, their Morphers started to warm up, something it hadn't done in a while. They all looked at each other confusedly before Raylan put his Morpher to his ear.
"What's going on, Gadget-X?" he asked.
"I'm picking up energy reading everywhere!" the robot's voice buzzed through the communicator.
"What are you talking about? I sense nothing wrong."
"It's beyond the real world!"
"So it really doesn't pose any threat?"
"As long as you don't let it fester." Gadget-X said. "I can break you through the barrier, if you'd like to go see."
"How will that affect us?" Raylan asked.
"It won't, it just allows me to mess around with the time-space continuum long enough to get you in there and get you out."
"So we can inspect this energy reading and return to the normal world without wasting any time?"
"I mean, it will last a few milliseconds, but you should be fine."
"Send us in." Raylan said and then looked to his team. They were visibly confused by what just happened, but it wasn't like they had much of a choice.
They closed their eyes and felt the air around them freeze. The continuum was letting them in.
==Folkvangr, Asgard==
The eight Rangers appeared in the meadows of Folkvangr by dropping from the sky. When they hit the soft ground, they inspected their surroundings. It was just a long field of flowers...a long, long field of flowers. Raylan took a minute to slowly sniff the air.
"It smells...heavenly." he commented.
"I agree, it smells delicious." Tyler stated. "I kinda wanna eat one."
"Me too." Raylan said and picked a flower. Before he could take a test bite, a powerful wind knocked it out of his hand. "Hey, what gives?"
"I wouldn't advise that." a booming female voice echoed through the fields.
"Who...who said that?" Emma asked in a cowering tone.
"I am Freyja, goddess of love, war, and death." the voice answered. "What business do you have here?"
"We...we come here in peace." Raylan shouted to the sky.
"How can I trust that?" the voice asked.
"How can you not trust that?" Raylan asked back. "We're the Power Rangers, we live to protect."
There was a moment of silence before a glow appeared in front of the Rangers. Out of the glow came a beautiful and naked lady. All of the Rangers were shocked at the sudden arrival and tried to play it off. Ryleigh slapped her boyfriend when his glance slowly started to move upwards.
"Sorry, instant reaction." he apologized.
"You're...you're naked." Raylan told her.
"You think I don't know that?" Freyja asked.
"Sorry, just wanted to point that out." he shrugged.
"As I was asking, what business do you have here?" Freyja questioned.
"We were just following a disturbance." Raylan explained. "We detected a high level of energy coming from this area."
"Of course, you are in Folkvangr!" Freyja exclaimed.
"Folkvangr? You mean the other Nordic heaven?" Emma asked. "How did we end up here?"
"Can you just explain to us what this disturbance is?" Raylan asked.
"Only if I know I can trust you." Freyja told them.
"Oh, come on!" Mike exclaimed. "We're Power Rangers! What wrong could we do?"
"That means nothing to me." Freyja glared at him. "Pass a test and I will let you know all."
"Fuck this..." Mike kicked some of the flowers.
"Hey, let's just go with it." Raylan mumbled to them. "We'll take your test!" he told her.
"Good, follow me."
