Ch. 17-Zord Fight, Race Against Time
NinjaMegaFalconZord's Cockpit
"Here they come!" said Aisha. "We're totally outnumbered!"
"We've beaten six goons before with two Megazords," said Tommy, who remembered the first fight against Zedd and Rita's monster army, "and there's no reason we can't do it with three. Let's spread out and take em. Remember, we still have Pyramidas, Ninjor, Auric, and the TigerZord," he finished. Ninjor had teleported out during the battle on the ground, and the Rangers in battle weren't sure why.
Tommy turned just in time to see Goldar slashing his sword at the NinjaMegaFalconZord, but he got the controls in order just in time to block it. The MegaZord delivered three lefts and two rights to Goldar's chestplate, but Goldar survived the flurry and delivered a vicious uppercut to the NinjaMegaFalconZord's head. This vicious punch caused the Rangers to cry out as their cockpit blew up.
"This time I shall be the victor, White Ranger!" shouted Goldar.
Suddenly, a wave of fire hit Goldar, who fell to the ground in shock. He looked up to see Sabrian's CougarZord standing over him. Goldar stood up and hissed angrily.
"Why, you!" Goldar shouted as he charged his sword with lightning, preparing to send it into Sabrina's Zord, when he was hit from behind again by the ThunderMegaZord's Thunder Saber.
"I'll make you all pay for that!" Goldar shouted.
"Man, we really showed Goldar, didn't we?" radioed Sabrina from her CougarZord.
"Yeah! That was awesome!" said Rocky, pumping a fist.
Before they could do anything more, they were hit by numerous laser blasts. They turned around to see Kimberly holding her magic wand.
"Come on, Kim. Surely you can do better than that," said Tommy.
"I'll get you for that comment, White Ranger!" shouted Kimberly as she charged the NinjaMegaFalconZord, which deflected a blast from behind by Gasket, then turned its attention back to Kimberly.
Meanwhile, the ThunderMegaZord was going at it with Globbor, Nasty Nightmare, and Rito, while nearby, Gasket went into in a vicious duel with Sabrina's Zord.
Tommy surveyed the battle scene, and then turned to his friends and said, "Guys! The Alien Rangers need my help. Keep holding off Kimberly, while I help the ThunderMegaZord put down those other goons for good!"
"You got it Tommy!" said Rocky as Tommy leapt out of the NinjaMegaFalconZord's cockpit.
"Just like old times, isn't it, Saba?" said Tommy as he turned to his talking saber.
"It is indeed, White Ranger," said Saba.
"We've got some goons to put down, so let's do it. TigerZord Power NOW!" shouted Tommy as he raised his right hand skyward.
Just like it had before, the TigerZord awoke from its slumber near Angel Grove, and charged forward. When it got close enough, Tommy jumped on top of the charging Zord.
"All right, Saba! Let's show these goons what White Ranger power is all about! White TigerZord, Tiger Mode, Battle Ready NOW!" yelled Tommy.
Tommy moved into his cockpit, and found he had some new weapons to play with.
"This new TigerZord is incredible," said Tommy. "I'll have to ask Sarah about its new weapons later. In the meantime, convert to Warrior Mode, NOW!"
When Tommy placed Saba in its usual place beside him, the Zord changed from a fighting tiger into a fierce robot, ready for action.
"Hey Tommy," radioed Sabrina from the CougarZord, "Looking good over there, man! Been a while since I've seen that thing. Go show those three what you're all about!"
"You got it!" said Tommy, "You OK over there against Gasket?"
"I'll manage. Gasket's just overly cocky."
"Tell me about it. Holler if ya need any help."
"You got it. May the Power protect you."
Tommy turned towards that fight, and saw it wasn't going well. The Nasty Nightmare had activated its nightmare energy drain, and Globbor and Rito were now pummeling it with attacks.
"No you don't!" said Tommy. "Not this time! Hi-yah!" With that said, the TigerZord drew its saber and sliced the Nasty Nightmare's tentacle in half, which caused the three goons to hiss angrily.
"The TigerZord? Impossible! I destroyed that thing completely!" shouted Rito.
"You should know by now, you bag of bones, that NOTHING is impossible with the Power Rangers! Hi-yah!"
That said, the TigerZord wound up and delivered a flurry of punches to the three villains, knocking them all back.
Goldar had seen what happened, and angrily charged the TigerZord.
"Tommy! Goldilocks is behind you!" shouted Adam from the NinjaMegaFalconZord, which had gone to assist Sabrina in fighting Gasket.
"Tommy quickly whipped the TigerZord around, just in time to see Goldar slashing a fist at his revived Zord.
"No you don't, you overgrown monkey!" shouted Tommy. A sequence of punches and kicks sent Goldar reeling.
"Lucky shot, White Ranger, but you will never defeat me!" shouted Goldar. "Prepare to die!"
"The only one dead that I see around here is you, Goldilocks!" shouted Tommy, as he placed a sphere in his console. "White Tiger Thunderbolt! Thunderbolt, fire!"
Shots of fire rained from the TigerZord's chest, slamming into Goldar and sending him flying backwards.
Suddenly, Goldar received a mental summons. Get back to the Palace," Lord Zedd said in a telepathic message. "I don't need my loyal warrior getting hurt...I need you. Come back."
Goldar suddenly stood up and hissed, angry that he wasn't able to finish buisness with his accursed enemy, once and for all. "You may have defeated me this time, Tommy, but next time, you won't be so lucky!" With that, Goldar disappeared in a flash of gold.
"Coward," muttered Tommy. "Someday, Goldilocks, you and I will finish this buisness once and for all."
With that said, Tommy turned his attention to the help that his Aquitian friends needed, as he took a gander around the battlefield and noticed that his friends were locked in a vicious two-on-two battle with Kimberly and Gasket.
"All right," said Tommy. "Three against two. That's more like it. Delphine, what do ya say we finish these guys off?"
"Affirmitive, Tommy!" said Aquitar's White Ranger. "Thunder Saber, now!"
That said, the ThunderMegaZord charged its Thunder Saber with energy, and sent it directly into the Nasty Nightmare and Rito. Rito was hurled backwards, while the Nasty Nightmare was completely and utterly destroyed in a shower of sparks and fire.
"You may have won this time, Rangers, but I shall return another day!" said Rito as he too disappeared.
"Three down, guys!" said Tommy.
"Hey! I could really use some help over here!" shouted Sabrina, who was starting to lose the upper hand against King Mondo's son. Kimberly had engaged the NinjaMegaFalconZord once again.
But before Tommy could make a move, five shots of blue rained on Gasket, who looked up to see Ninjor coming to the ground on his cloud. Tommy headed for Globbor, Kimberly and the NinjaMegaFalconZord.
"Did someone say they needed HELP?" shouted Ninjor as he jumped to the ground, landing beside the gold-clad Zord.
"Ninjor! Wow, am I ever glad to see you!" shouted Sabrina.
"Ninjor, how dare you step into a one-on-one fight!" shouted Gasket.
"Enough with your talk!" shouted Ninjor. "I've had it with you, you rotting piece of tin! Your deeds for the forces of evil, and more precisely on my Falcon, MAKE...ME...ANGRY!" shouted Ninjor. With memories ingrained in his mind of what had happened to Tommy through Gasket's brain-drain, he raised his fists and righteous flames of anger burned in his eyes.
Ninjor's head folded up as he transformed into warrior form, as his sword became a staff. He was now as large as any of the three remaining goons.
"Prince Gasket, prepare to face the wrath of the Power of Ninja!" shouted Ninjor as he raced forward, staff drawn. After a brief stalemate, Ninjor got in some blows on Gasket, causing him to go backwards.
"Now, let me show you something, you vile machine!" shouted Ninjor as he hurled a giant orange ball at Gasket. The blast hit Gasket with such force that King Mondo's son dropped his sword.
"Time to finish this, Gasket...and it's time to pull out my bag of tricks!" shouted Sabrina. The words she uttered next were a surprise, in particular, to the original Rangers, wherever they were. "I call upon the MegaZord Power Sword, NOW!"
And just like old times, the Power Sword came shooting down from the sky, and it was caught by the golden machine mere moments before it hit the ground.
"Face it, Gasket...you're finished! Hi-yah!" shouted Sabrina as, just like the original five had done years before, she made a chopping motion. This was followed by the Power Sword's energy attack, which hammered Gasket.
Gasket stood up and hissed angrily.
"Power Rangers, know this. You may have won this battle, but your comeuppance will come another day. Beware, daughter of Zordon! I will return, and next time, you will not be the one victorious!" With that, Gasket disappeared in a flash of green.
"Four down, two to go," said Sabrina. "Now, to help the others."
With that, she and Ninjor raced for Kimberly and the Globbor monster.
Unfortunately, even three on two, the fight was proving difficult. Each time the Rangers would gain the upper hand, Kimberly and Globbor would come up with a sneak attack that would get them right back in the fight.
Currently, the Rangers inside the NinjaMegaFalconZord were screaming for some help as the Globbor had them in a chokehold. Kimberly was about to send a lightning attack into the NinjaMegaFalconZord when suddenly, two vicious uppercuts caused the Globbor to lose its hold on the massive machine. All turned to see the CougarZord holding the Power Sword, and Ninjor holding his staff.
"You again!" said Kimberly as she fired another lightning attack, this time in Sabrina's direction.
To which, the CougarZord simply raised the Power Sword and caught the attack, shortly after which it sent the attack directly back at Kimberly, causing her to cry out.
'Wow,' thought Adam inside the NinjaMegaFalconZord. 'Incredible. Girl's got some game.'
Tommy, seated inside the TigerZord, also gawked in awe. He thought he'd never see the original Power Sword that was controlled by the MegaZord ever again.
"Sabrina..." he said, "How..."
"Later, Tommy," Sabrina said, bringing him back to Earth. "We've got two big problems in front of us here!"
"That's right you do!" said Kimberly as she mounted several arrows which appeared to have some gears on the sharp tip of them, and fired a new barrage.
Three of the Zords managed to dodge the attack, with the help of Ninjor. However, the Thunder Megazord wasn't fast enough, and the arrow went right into the Zord. Soon after, the Alien Rangers lost control.
"Hey! What's going on with the Thunder Megazord????" shouted Rocky. "It looks like its systems are going haywire. We just lost our numbers advantage!" he shouted as the Zord threw the Alien Rangers outside of it. And soon, they saw Kimberly shrink in size and teleport into the Megazord.
"It is pointless to resist me, Power Rangers! Your ThunderZords are now MY property!"
"Guys, we've got a BIG problem! There's nobody that knows the Thunderzords and their weapons better than Kimberly!" shouted Billy.
"Right. But we still have Globbor to worry over too," said Tommy. "The rest of you guys go with Ninjor and take care of Globbor. I'll see if I can hold the ThunderMegaZord still!" said Tommy.
Underground Power Chamber
All this time, the five new Turbo Rangers had been watching the battle. David had explained how he'd become a Ranger, from the talks with Tommy and Samuel, to the recruiting process used by Tommy during the early days of the fight against Lady Chaos, to the countless talks he'd had nearly every day with Zordon of Eltar. With the way they'd heard him talk, it sounded as if he knew more about the Rangers than the Rangers knew of themselves!
"Man, we have GOT to get out there and call on the Zords," said David. "I don't know how long Tommy can hold that MegaZord still, especially with Kimberly controlling it."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm with David," said Trini. "There is no one that knows that MegaZord better than Kimberly. Tommy's not going to be able to handle her alone."
"The only problem I have with that," said Archerina, who was standing nearby, "is that we'd be putting the Zords at great risk. We haven't even tested them yet."
"I don't think we hav a choice," said Kat.
"I agree with them," Auric said. "Evil can never be allowed to win, even if Kimberly is one of us."
"I agree. We're going to lose more MegaZords if we don't get out there fast," said Zack.
"Are you ready for your first fight, David?" said Trini.
David gulped. 'Here we go,' he thought. He then nodded.
"Mind if I come with you guys?" said Trey. "You could probably use some backup. I don't know Kimberly that well, but I can do what I can."
"More the merrier. It would be a pleasure for you to join us," said Kat.
"Thank you, Katherine," said Trey. "Zordon, for sure, chose well when he selected those he did to wield the Power. Now, I believe we should be going."
"Let's do it!" said Zack. "BACK TO ACTION!"
Mountains outside Angel Grove
The Turbo Rangers and Trey, fully morphed, landed near the site of the battle, taking care to step over the flames that had ensued during previous parts of the battle. They saw Tommy and his TigerZord going at it in a fierce fight with ThunderMegaZord. Nearby, the others were having a difficult time handling Globbor.
"We'd better do something fast!" said Trey.
"Right. It's time, guys," said Zack.
"WE NEED TURBO ZORD POWER, NOW!" shouted the five Turbo Rangers in unison.
All at once, from somewhere near the Underground Power Chamber, five Zords streaked forward and headed for the battle site. As the Zords raced for the battle site, the five leapt into their respective Zords.
"For old times sake, LOG ON!" shouted Zack.
"Katherine here, ready to rock!" shouted Kat from Wind Chaser.
"Ditto! Let's send these evildoers packing!" said Tanya from Dune Star.
"Mountain Blaster, ready!" shouted Trini.
"First time's always the best time! Let's do it!" shouted David from Desert Thunder.
"All right, initiate Turbo MegaZord assembly!" shouted Zack.
Wind Chaser and Mountain Blaster went first, as Wind Chaser split before Mountain Blaster hooked up.
Dune Star and Desert Thunder were up next, and Red Lightning followed.
"All right, guys and gals! Turbo Up!" shouted Zack as he inserted his key and turned it.
"Turbo Up!" shouted the Rangers as they did the same.
Within seconds, the brand-new Turbo MegaZord stood ready for battle.
Nearby, Trey raised his Golden Power Staff and shouted to the world the words of battle he knew so well, "I CALL UPON THE POWER OF PYRAMIDAS!"
The sky suddenly darkened, and Pyramidas lowered to the ground, ready for battle.
"Let's do it, guys!" shouted Trey.
"Affirmitive, Trey," said Zack. "These guys have been asking for it!"
Meanwhile, Tommy was in trouble, as Kimberly threw five consecutive devastating punches at the TigerZord's head, staggering it back.
Kimberly was about to swing the Thunder Saber at the TigerZord when she was punched in the back. She whirled around to see the Turbo MegaZord, ready to deliver another punch if necessary. Heroes and villains as one gawked.
"What...is that?" said Sabrina.
"I think it's the cavalry is what it is!" said Adam.
"Hey, guys!" said Zack.
"Zack-man, is that you?" said Tommy in surprise.
"Sure is. We've got much to discuss, but we have some villains to finish off!" said Zack.
Meanwhile, Pyramidas launched a ground attack at Globbor, causing it to spark, and stagger backwards.
"TREY!" shouted Adam. "Glad to see you, buddy!"
"As am I, Adam!" said Trey. "Now let's finish this slime-ball once and for all!"
"Guys!" said Billy as an idea formulated in his head, "maybe if we use Titanus we can get rid of Globbor and just leave Kimberly. What do you say?"
"I'm with Billy," said Adam. "Sabrina, is your Zord compatible with Titanus?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact it is," said the Gold Ninjetti. "I'm sending you the format of how this new Ultrazord would work."
The Rangers got a good look at it, and saw that the NinjaMegaFalconZord would go on Titanus' back as usual, but the CougarZord would ride in back of the original NinjaZords.
"I say let's put this guy down once and for all!" shouted Rocky.
"Let's do it! I call upon Titanus, NOW!" shouted Sabrina.
With that said, a time-hole opened, and the famed carrierzord rolled right out of it, and towards the battle scene.
"Initiate NinjaCougarUltrazord transformation sequence, NOW!" shouted those five.
With that said, the NinjaMegaFalconZord flew up in the air, and when the time was right, flew right onto Titanus' back. In mere moments, the CougarZord did the same.
"TREY!" Sabrina shouted from the spacious Ultrazord cockpit, "keep that monster busy! We're going after him!"
"You've said it!" said Trey. Trey fired at the monster again, and the two traded laser attacks for two to three minutes. Then...
"Trey, move out! Lock on and fire all weapons!" shouted Sabrina.
This Ultrazord's attack raced forward, and, as powerful as Globbor was, it could not withstand this Ultrazord's attack. It fell to the ground in a fiery display of explosions.
"YES!" shouted Sabrina. "Now, let's see how Tommy's doing, as well as that new MegaZord!"
How they were doing was very well. Kimberly, from the ThunderMegaZord, was keeping a close eye on Globbor during the fight, and saw he was losing. She'd become distracted, and the Rangers were looking to take full advantage of it.
The TigerZord threw three devastating punches to ThunderMegaZord's head, then used its Thunderbolt attack, which caused the MegaZord to spark, and Kimberly to cry out from the cockpit.
"That the best you can do?" laughed Kim.
"We're going to do far better than that, Kim," said Zack.
"Guys, you need to put that thing down! Get Kimberly scrambling, so that maybe I can get in there and get rid of that arrow she's got in there!" said Tommy.
"All right, guys, you heard Tommy. Ready? TURBO MEGAZORD SABER!"
Instantly, the new weapon appeared in TurboMegaZord's right hand.
"Let's see how you like this one, Kim! TURBO MEGAZORD SPINOUT!" shouted all five Rangers in unison.
With a speed that defied description, the TurboMegaZord spun and whirled right at the ThunderMegaZord, and, as it passed by, slammed it with unbelievable energies.
The ThunderMegaZord fell gracelessly to the ground and didn't move.
"All right! My Turn!" said Tommy as he jumped out of his own cockpit and toward ThunderMegaZord's cockpit.
With one graceful leap, he found himself in the room where all the parts were.
"OK, now where is that arrow?" said Tommy. "There it is!" he shouted as he found it situated on one of the gears. Immediately, Tommy drew Saba.
"This oughta get rid of this problem! Hi-yah!" shouted Tommy as, with Saba, he sliced the arrow in half.
In the main control room, as Kimberly pulled the ThunderMegaZord to its feet, and was about to get the ThunderMegaZord back online, the controls suddenly stopped working.
"Why aren't these controls working?" she growled softly.
"Time for you to hitch another ride, Beautiful!" said Tommy as he threw Kimberly out of the ThunderMegaZord.
Angrily, Kim looked to go back into battle, but found she was completely outnumbered, and reconsidered. Kimberly ran to the nearest mountain, leapt high on top of it, and said,
"This battle is yours, Rangers, but I promise you, you won't be so lucky when I come back!"
With that, Kimberly disappeared in a flash of black and pink.
"Wow," said Rocky, as he nearly keeled over in the Ninja Ultrazord, "that was one heck of a fight. I'm exhausted."
"Never mind that, guys!" said Tommy. "We need to go to the Command Center and see what's up. Let's get these babies back to the holding bay and then let's go!"
Moon Palace
"I can't believe you idiots ran away!" shouted Rita. "We had them beat! Over! Done with, once and for all! And you let them get away!"
"Rita, if you will let me explain..." said Goldar.
"NO!" shouted Rita. "All of you are failures, except for little miss Kimmie here. She did her job, but you let her DOWN! Next time, you stay until we tell you to!"
Suddenly, the palace shook from the rafters, and an echoing voice said,
"Calm down, my dear daughter. It was the correct move."
Then, in a cloud of energy snakes appeared the infamous lord of the M-51 Galaxy, Master Vile himself.
Rita, still being close to her father, moved closer and softly said, "Father dear, whatever do you mean?"
"It was not wise for our armies to continually fight a losing battle. Your stupid husband called Goldar back to the palace, and Finster's monsters are little more than impotent against them, as is Rito. That Zord of Zordon's offspring is far more powerful than I ever remember it, and while Globbor put up a good fight, he was no match for Titanus. However, once Lady Chaos and I have trained Kimberly enough, she will be able to pick them off one-by-one in no time. That is why I am here."
Meanwhile, Zedd's blood was positively boiling. It was bad enough that Kimberly's army had been wiped out, and now, here was Rita's arrogant father, who had the nerve to boss everyone within the Lunar Palace around.
'That does it,' said Lord Zedd. 'No matter how much I love Rita, I cannot stand being around her pompous father. Plus, she has had weaklings for warriors and scientists. Scorpina, Squatt, Baboo, Rito, Finster, they are and were all weak. Even the one she chose to be the Green Ranger, Tommy, was and is weak.
It is time for my own master plan. And when I am done,' thought Lord Zedd, 'I will have made life so miserable for those Rangers that they'll wish they had never been born. Only I, that old coot Zordon, and her golden offspring know about what could happen should certain events arise. And by the time Zordon or Sabrina are able to do anything about these events, I will have destroyed the Ninjetti Rangers, and their powers, once and for all.'
'And without Earth's Ninjetti Rangers,' thought Lord Zedd, 'that weakling Sabrina, those new Turbo Twerps and their fish-loving friends will fall before my power. And the unvierse...shall belong to Lord Zedd.'
"Goldar," said Lord Zedd, "come with me, my loyal warrior. We have much to discuss."
As one, Emperor and warrior walked down a hallway, until they came to some room, where Lord Zedd closed the door.
"Goldar," said Zedd, "I'm sorry."
"For what, my lord?" said the winged monkey. "You have nothing to be sorry for. No matter what you say or do, I serve you and only you. Rita is an idiot, and so is her father."
"Your loyalty is amazing, Goldar," said Zedd, "and that is something to be commended on. I'm sorry for all the times I've yelled at you for failing to defeat those Rangers. It is I who should be sorry. We just haven't come up with the right plan yet."
"Your plans were far better than Rita's, Lord Zedd," said Goldar, "and she and her father are idiots. If they think they can train her physically to defeat those Rangers, they have another thing coming."
"FINALLY!" said Zedd, "someone who hates her father as much as I do! She is very powerful, but her father is an idiot and a pompous piece of dog manure! Not to mention how idiotic her brother is!"
"I have been trying to tell you since you married her that you made a grave mistake, my lord," said Goldar, "and look where it's taken you."
'Goldar was 100 correct,' thought Zedd. 'He tried to warn me, and I didn't listen. My fault, totally, for that.'
"Understand that no matter what you've done, my lord," said Goldar, "I will help you with your plans always. I can tell you have one now. What is it?
"My master plan, Goldar, will not only derive the chance for Rita, her father, and her grandmother to have Kimberly, but will get me the universe once and for all," said Lord Zedd.
Goldar thought of what Lord Zedd's plan might be. Then, it hit him...it was a plan that Zedd had tried before, but at the wrong time...when Kimberly's heart was still totally with Tommy.
That bond was now severed, he noticed, as Kimberly looked ready to kill her ex at the drop of a hat. She was open, and the winged monkey totally understood why Zedd wanted Kimberly by his side.
"If your plan is to marry Kimberly, then we must act quickly, my lord," said Goldar. "If those Ninjetti Rangers can break Lady Chaos' hold on her, then our plans will be up in smoke."
"I know," said Zedd. "I want you to keep an eye on Master Vile and his group of morons. Watch their every move, and if you see something significant, you are to report to me. Is that clear, Goldar? I want her. I wanted her before, and I want her now. She is the key to the destruction of the Ninjetti Rangers...their power is built signficantly around the Falcon and Crane's union. With her married to me, their power will be severed forever, and only that golden offspring of Zordon can stand in my way amongst them. When the time is right, we will take Kimberly, release the spell over her, infuse her with my power, and destroy Sabrina once and for all."
"Even she could not stand against you, me and Kimberly alone, my lord," said Goldar.
"Of course she couldn't, Goldar, for she is weak," said Zedd. "That brat Tommy is weak too. And you are going to be the one to kill him for good, Goldar, after Kimberly and I are married." This comment left Goldar positively salivating, until he thought of another thing.
"What about Dark Specter and Jason, my lord?" said Goldar, referring to the ultimate head of the United Alliance of Evil. "If he finds we're plotting against Master Vile, he could destroy us entirely. You know we're not in his favor already. As for Jason, he is a powerful warrior, and he won't give up Kimberly so easily."
"You have a point, Goldar," said Zedd. "That's why we're going to have to do this carefully. You must keep watch on them, and report to me only when we are in private. I don't want to upset Specter, but at the same time, I want Kimberly by my side forever. As for Jason, I'll take care of him when the time comes. With Kimberly, I can take over the Earth, and help Specter claim the entire galaxy."
"Yes, my lord," said Goldar. "I've been waiting to take out those Rangers forever! Finally, we will do it, together!"
"Indeed we will, my loyal warrior," said Zedd. "Now come. We must return before that idiot Vile acts suspicious."
As Zedd and Goldar walked back to the throne room closer to Rita's screeching cries and Vile's pompous attitude, Goldar's smile cracked for the first time since before his Emperor and Rita had married.
'Watch your back, White and Gold Rangers,' thought Goldar, 'for my Emperor Lord Zedd and I have set you in our sights!'
Unbeknownst to them, a figure in green had been following their every move, traversing down the hallways and stopping outside the door where Zedd and Goldar had talked in. And he'd heard every word they'd said.
His face paled.
Jason Scott stood there and thought, 'I will not let her marry that mongrel.' Love began to fill his body again, as well as respect for the one he'd always considered his little sister. An unshakable hatred for Zedd also began to bubble, for he remembered the last time that 'mongrel' had tried to marry Kimberly.
They'd been there together, from the time they had both been in diapers, through kindergarten and all the way up through grade school and high school. They had vowed at a very early age to always be there for each other, and that was kicking in now.
And something else began to happen.
With thoughts of love to help it, the Sword of Darkness convulsed violently, beginning to hang in the balance. And Jason, without another moment's hesitation, remembering what happened to Tommy, took out his Dragon Dagger and fired a green beam of energy at that Sword...and when it made contact, the Sword was destroyed on impact and the evil spell broken, thanks in part to the feelings of love and compassion, and Jason Scott then lay on the floor, unable to move for a couple minutes.
But he quickly scrambled to his feet and thought, 'It's time to get to Zordon and let the Rangers know what's going on. They'll want to hear about this. The Power Rangers always prevail. It's been that way from the beginning, and nothing has changed now.'
And reaching for the power he always knew was there, he teleported to Angel Grove to begin a mad dash against time.
