Chapter Seven-A Meeting of Evil
Back on the moon, in Lord Zedd's evil palace, the evil two evils were staring each other down. Neither said a word, neither moved. It was scary, the dead silence.
"Who are you?" Goldar asked moving toward the unwanted guest, his sword drawn. "And what are you doing trespassing in Lord Zedd's palace."
Elsa stepped forward, blocking his path to her master and glared at the evil gold clad, black furred monkey. Her sword also in hand.
"He is my master, Lord Mesogog." She said with a snarl. She raised her head in a proud fashion." And we're here to destroy the Power Rangers."
"Good luck with that." huffed Rita's brother, Rito Repulso. He was reclined on the steps near the stone throne. "Ole Ed here's been tryin to do that for years."
"It's Zedd, soup for brains." Lord Zedd boomed.
"And he will fail." Elsa said in matter of fact way.
"Oh," Rita screeched. "And how do you know that?"
"We are from the future and our problem is the same. Your failure hinders all evil that follows."
"Oh?" Zedd quirked his voice sounding as if he wore a cocky smile under his metal grill. If he had eyebrows one of them would be raised.
"Yes... A Thomas Oliver." Mesogog hissed. "He is in this time."
"The White Ranger?" Zedd said in a thunderous voice. He and his surroundings began to glow red with his fury. "He has been a thorn in my side since he was the Green Ranger."
He turned to his wife.
"Curse you woman for making him into one of them."
"Excuse me, Zedd. It was a good idea and it would have it worked to if it wasn't for that blasted Red Ranger." Rita screamed at him. She paused and her face took on a gentle expression as she approached her husband, one hand holding her staff like wand, the other out stretched to touch Lord Zedd's check. "An excellent idea to rig the selection of the students to send him, the Black Ranger, and the Yellow Ranger to Switzerland."
"Thank you my dear. It's too bad Zordon had to find three more to put in their place."
"Back to the subject." Mesogog interrupted the tender moment. He didn't give a damn about Rangers that were no longer active Rangers in any time. They were no danger to his plans. "Oliver is now the Black Ranger and has found the new power and gave it to three meddlesome teenagers."
"Three?" Zedd said returning his attention to the reptilian villain. "I sense five new Rangers. One old to the Morphing Grid, Tommy, the other four unknown."
"Yes... The fifth is the White Ranger. He..." Mesogog paused. "He was an accident."
He wasn't liking the fact that they had traveled to a time where the Rangers still existed.
"Master." Elsa said approaching Mesogog. She leaned in to whisper in his ear. "Why not use them in our war against the Rangers? We can join forces and crush them."
Mesogog jerked his head towards the woman and hissed his pleasure.
"Very well." He whispered and turned to Zedd and Rita. "With our combined forces we can destroy the Rangers."
"Oooo..." Rita cooed unpleasantly. "Zeddy, I have a brilliant idea."
"Go on, my little arsenic bun."
Elsa shivered at the endearment. It was disturbing.
"Why not turn one of the Power Brats evil?"
"It's already been done." Elsa said.
"Yeah." Goldar agreed.
"I know that!" The witch shrieked. "But it was our best tactic to destroy the Rangers."
Mesogog paced, his hands clenched and unclenched behind his back. He was liking this idea. It could work.
"I think it's a very good idea." He said thoughtfully.
"But master..." Elsa said.
"No," He interrupted her. "The White Ranger was our greatest ally. If it wasn't for that beam hitting his gem, he would have destroyed the Rangers by now."
"And the same for my Evil Green Ranger."
"Yes, yes." Zedd said walking to his thrown. "It's brilliant."
The villain sat, his fist clenching and unclenching in thought. He too was liking this idea.
"We turn them evil, again. Corrupt them."
Zedd's body tensed in it's excitement. He let out a wicked laugh and stood once more, his fist tightening around his staff.
"We turn both the Tommys evil..."
"And the White Ranger" Mesogog added. "And they will dispose of both teams."
"Then the world will be ours." Rita squawked.
She turned to her brother.
"Rito, I need for you to go to the planet Veerlax."
"What for?" He asked.
"To retrieve the three stones of Kala. One green, one white, and the last black. With those stones I will be able to keep the spell on the White Rangers and the Black Ranger."
"Elsa, I want you and..." Mesogog ordered and pointed to Goldar. "him to prepare an army."
"Yes and while you are all busy, our new friend and I will be making some deliciously wicked monsters to crush the Rangers." Zedd said cheerfully.
If all go as planned, the Rangers would be destroyed. The only problem to deal with was who would get the earth. Lord Zedd and his crew, more than likely, would move on to another planet, leaving this planet to Lord Mesogog and his army to do with as they saw fit.
"The dino team won't stand a chance." Elsa said cheekily.
"Why you say that, cutie?" Rito said stepping near her. His foul breath swarming the air around her.
Elsa groaned and moved away with a look of disgust.
"Their zords," She spat out. She was trying to reply and hold her breath at the same time. "are home, in the future. A disadvantage, if we were to send several powerful monsters to earth at once. I'm sure the Rangers here only have so many zords."
More evil laughter filled the chamber as they all set out to do their tasks.
