Back at the Megaship, Captain Mitchell, Angela Rawlings and all the other techs and scientists were scrambling Megazords and Zords to go to the aid of the Rangers.
"Michelle? I have eleven Megazords coming to you. They are all capable of being driven and controlled by one Ranger. They're coming online…now." He punched a red button and then sat back.
At the fight scene, eleven Megazords materialized. The Turbo Megazord, Galaxy, Astro, Thundersaurus and Mystic Titan Megazords. The Mega Winger and the Q-Rex were there as well, along with the Time Force Megazord in mode Red, the Storm and Thunder Megazords and the Samurai Megazord. Last to arrive was the S.W.A.T. Megazord.
"Ok, guys, ready? Zhane, you'll command the Mega Winger. Wes-the Q-Rex, and Jen, the Time Force Megazord. Jason, yours is the Turbo Megazord. Hunter, you're still in the pilot seat of the Thunder Megazord. Kira, the Thundersaurus Megazord is in your charge. Sky, the S.W.A.T Megazord is in your charge. Bridge, the Samurai Megazord. Xander, the Mystic Titan Megazord will serve you as well as it always has. Kaleb, you'll be driving the Astro Megazord, Meagan the Storm Megazord and I'll take the Galaxy Megazord. Ok? Go!"
And we all leapt to our own Zords.
I found myself in the Red Control Room of the Galaxy Megazord. Looking out, I saw the ten monsters facing us…and Trakeena.
"You will still lose! I will still win!" Trakeena's voice held a slight edge of panic.
Without saying a word, all eleven Megazords charged and battle was joined once again. I was using the Galaxy Saber to slash and cut a horned Duke Org. He blocked every shot but finally, finally, I managed to defeat him.
I turned my Megazord to help Kira in the Thundersaurus Megazord and, while we fought, I tuned an ear to the voices coming from the comm.
"I need help! My Megazord's shot! I need help!" Meagan's panicked voice. Nothing I could do.
"Coming! Be right there!" Bridge and the Samurai Megazord were closing in on her position.
Then came a huge explosion and I heard the words, "I've done my best," spoken calmly and followed by a sad kind of sigh before Sky Tate and the S.W.A.T. Megazord disintegrated.
NOOO!! A silent voice inside of me screamed in anguish; another friend was dead.
The sounds and calls of help continued until we had destroyed all but Trakeena. The Astro, Thundersaurus, Time Force and Samurai Megazords had been destroyed but Kaleb, Kira, Jen and Bridge had teleported out in time.
"This is the end, Trakeena. Surrender or be destroyed." Jason ordered. She didn't listen. Big surprise.
"Galaxy Megazord, Condor Missile Mode." I said and the Condor disengaged off of my back and appeared in the Megazord's hands.
"Q-Rex, prep missiles for launch!" Wes shouted.
"Power Sphere 11: Sting Blaster!" Hunter yelled.
"Power Sphere Combo: Turbine Combo!" Meagan cried.
All the Megazords made ready for one final attack.
"FIRE!!!" I shouted.
Then, as one, the Turbo, Galaxy, Thunder, Mystic Titan and Storm Megazords fired and the Mega Winger and Q-Rex fired. In a burst of light, Trakeena disappeared.
A major backwash of light, heat, and energy swept over us. It didn't affect my Megazord because I was far away but as I listened, I could hear shouts coming over the comm..
"They're gone! Just gone! Destroyed!" Zhane's voice was panicked.
"Backlash. They were too close. My Zord's showing major damage and I wasn't near as close as them." Hunter's voice was tired.
"Who's gone? WHO??!!" I yelled, needing to be answered, needing to know who else I'd led to their deaths.
"Jason and the Turbo Megazord are gone. And so are Meagan and the Storm Zords." Xander's voice was tinged with sympathy. "And the Q-Rex was also destroyed, but Wes managed to get out in time…just barely."
Meagan. She had been one of my closest friends and now she was gone.
"Well, Rangers. I guess we did it. Let's go back to the ship." I suddenly felt as if I were twenty years older.
Teleporting out of the Megazords, we all got together on the ground. Bodies were everywhere. Rangers, morphed and demorphed, mutilated or looking as if they were just napping.
I stood there and took stock of everyone's injuries. Bridge was on his feet but swaying badly. What little could be seen of his face-that not drenched in blood-was pallid and gray. Kira's face was white and she held her remaining arm tight to her chest. Hunter was nursing an injured shoulder. Kaleb was unable to get up, because his right leg was shattered. Zhane appeared unhurt. Wes was unconscious on the ground, with many cuts and probably internal injuries. Jen also was unhurt other than many cuts and bruises. Xander's stomach was sliced open and he was holding it together, bent almost double in pain. And me…well, I had a neat gash on my thigh that went nearly all the way around. But we all had emotional pain as well, and that, well…that may never go away.
