Chapter 15: Rangers in Action

Reefside: Outskirts

Ashley and the Yellow Psycho were still in the heat of battle. After Billy's lucky shot, Psycho Yellow had begun to lose her edge and Ashley gained the upper hand. Ashley let loose a flurry of punches on the Psycho Ranger, Billy couldn't believe she could move that fast.

"That it?" Ashley said.

"Hardly."

Psycho Yellow charged Ashley and grabbed her by the throat. She pinned her against a tree and held her there while punching the Space Ranger's chest. Ashley tried to free herself, but was slowly losing consciousness from all the abuse she'd been through.

"Once you're out of the picture, that blue ranger is coming with me."

Billy held Ashley's weapon ready to fire.

"Don't even try it. If you try and shoot me, you might hit the Yellow Ranger and she doesn't look like she can take much more."

Billy continued to aim the weapon at Psycho Yellow. His arm started to shake and dropped it to the ground.

"Sorry Ashley."

"That's right. Just sit there and watch her life slowly fade away."

Billy punched the ground and watched as Ashley continued to struggle against the Psycho Ranger's grip.

"Hey… psycho…." Ashley weakly said.

"What is it? Begging for mercy?"

Ashley raised her head to meet the psycho's line of vision.

"No… I have one more… trick up sleeve…" Ashley twisted her wrist to summon a small device. "Battlizer!" She pushed the first button which concentrated energy in her fist. Ashley unleashed the energy in a punch to Psycho Yellow's gut. Psycho Yellow dropped Ashley and recoiled in pain, clenching her stomach.

"Why you…"

Before Psycho Yellow could finish, Ashley charged and punched her with another powered attack from the Battilizer.

"Enough of this. Mark my words Yellow Ranger. I'll be back." Psycho disappeared in a flash of light. Ashley demorphed and collapsed to her knees, gasping for air. Billy crawled his way over to her and put his hand on her back.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine… just exhausted… never… fought so hard before… in my life…" Ashley continued to pant very hard, drawing each breathe quickly. Billy's communicator started to go off.

"This is Billy, over."

"Billy, its Tommy."

"Go ahead."

"I'm on my way to help you, meet me 200 feet west of your current location."

"Alright meet you there."

Billy had a puzzled look on his face after lowering his wrist.

"What's wrong?"

"Something seemed off. Why would Tommy tell us to meet him farther away from his house?"

"You're right, that does seem odd. Maybe he doesn't want them to know where his secret base is."

"Maybe, but I still have a feeling something is wrong."

Reefside: Industrial District

Dragonzord was using its drill tail to tear apart buildings. The Q-Rex and Max Solarzord had arrived in the area and were immediately under fire from the Dragonzord's finger rockets.

"That thing isn't wasting anytime." Eric said into his morpher.

"Then we shouldn't either. Max Solarzord Blaster!"

The zord raised its dual-barrelled weapon at the Dragonzord.

"Ready. Fire!"

Lasers erupted from the blaster. The lights on the Dragonzord's chest started to blink and it turned around. It raised its tail and spun the drill at its tip. The Max Solarzord's laser fire made contact with the drill, but was diverted in all directions. Some had rebounded back to Ryan.

"Damn! I'm hit!"

The Max Solarzord toppled to the ground. Dragonzord was closing in, firing its rockets at the downed zord with each step.

"Hey Eric, you mind not just sitting around and maybe help me!"

"The Q-Rex is acting weird. It's not responding!"

The Dragonzord stopped firing on the Max Solarzord and turned itself around. Its drill began to spin and dived toward Ryan.

"I'm bailing out!"

Ryan barely managed to jump out of the zord as the drill shredded the cockpit he was in only moments ago. Ryan hit the ground hard, but turned to look back at his zord. The Dragonzord's drill continued to tear up the inside of the cockpit. Small explosions erupted along the outside of the zord.

"No! Not again! Eric, please say you got your zord under control!"

"Got it! Q-Rex, Engage!"

The Q-Rex roared and ran toward the Dragonzord. Dragonzord turned around and did the same. Both zords collided with each other, sending out many sparks. The battle looked like two animals fighting each other. Both were slashing with their hands and trying to bite each other. Dragonzord used its drill again.

"Not this time! Q-Rex Lasers!"

The massive cannons on the zord's back fired at the Dragonzord point blank. A large explosion and electrical discharges came off the Dragonzord. Its tail had been caught in the attack and was damaged slightly, blackened and smoking.

"Now to finish this relic off. Q-Rex, Megazord Mode!"

The Q-Rex reconfigured into its humanoid form and was already charging its shoulder lasers.

"Lock on target. Max Blizzard!"

The lasers fired and met the Dragonzord with many explosions. Dragonzord collapsed with a thunderous boom, nearly taking Eric and Ryan off their feet.

"Alright we did it!"

"Nice job Eric!"

The Green Ranger appeared before them. Both rangers quickly drew their weapons and trained them on the evil ranger before them.

"What a useless piece of junk. I'll admit that was a well fought battle, but you haven't won. As a consolation prize you can have my worthless Dragonzord. I won't be needing it, not when I have these."

The Green Ranger spread his arms and lightning began to form in the sky. Two large bolts came to the ground and caused two large explosions. From the explosions, the Replicant Zord and Mezodon Megazord appeared.

"And best of all. I don't even need to be here to command them. I'll see you all soon Power Rangers."

Green Ranger took his leave in a flash of light. The two megazords charged the Q-Rex.

"Q-Rex lasers!"

The Q-Rex fired its massive cannons at the two, but they continued to move in.

"Increase power!"

The beams of energy grew in size and started to slow the two zords down. Many explosions came off the two as they slowly walked forward.

"Damn it! It's still not enough! Divert all power to the lasers!"

"Warning: If all power is used in the lasers, Q-Rex will no longer be operational. Its crystal shall be depleted." his morpher told him.

"I don't care! Divert power now!"

The Q-Rex started to glow red as more energy collected in the cannons. The lasers released were larger than the Q-Rex itself, tearing up what was left of the battlefield around them. A large explosion engulfed the two zords.

"You did it Eric!" Ryan cheered.

Ryan turned back to the battlefield to see the Q-Rex wave from side to side. It leaned more on its left and began to fall. A generator that was nearby partially broke the zord's fall, but was crushed by the colossal machine.

Reefside: Downtown

The Dino Thunder Rangers made it to where the Psycho Rangers were. All three looked at the teenaged rangers as they drew their weapons.

"Looks like you children mean business this time." Psycho Red said.

"We're not going to let you hurt innocent civilians!" Conner shouted to the evil rangers.

"Well then you'll have to prove it. Psycho Rangers attack!"

All three thrust their hands forward and unleashed streams of lightening at the rangers. They rolled in different directions to avoid it.

"You're mine Red Ranger!"

Psycho Red swung his sword and clashed with Conner's. Conner parried many of Psycho Red's strikes and landed a few of his own. Both went to slash diagonally and began a sword lock. Conner pushed against the Psycho Ranger, bring his face close his own.

"Face it red ranger. There is nothing you and your friends can do to stop us. You've lost."

"Looks who's talking. You've already lost a member while we've gained some."

They broke from the sword lock and continued to attack each other. Conner was mostly on the defensive, blocking and attack he could while Psycho Red relentlessly swung his sword at the Red Ranger. Again, they entered a sword lock and stared each other down.

"This getting tiring. I'm going to finish this now!"

Psycho Red elbowed Conner in the face. As Conner stepped back to recover, Psycho Red slashed at Conner's hand, making him drop his sword. He proceeded to knee Conner in the gut then grab him by the throat.

"Pitiful. The Red Space Ranger was much more of a challenge then you. Perhaps the other red rangers will be more amusing."

Psycho Red slammed Conner to the ground, still holding onto his throat. Conner gasped for air. He started to black out when he suddenly felt a surge of energy rush through him. Conner pushed the psycho ranger off of him and stood up.

"You're in for a big surprise. Super Dino Mode!"

Conner's suit grew spikes from the diamond pattern gave him energy to stand steadily. Conner ran at Psycho Red who proceeded to firing lightening at him. The lightening made contact, but didn't seem to faze the red ranger. Psycho Red ran toward Conner and swung at him with his sword. The blow caused a large amount of sparks to come off his suit, but Conner wasn't slowed down and slashed at Psycho Red with the spikes that were on his suit.

Meanwhile, Ethan was facing off with Psycho Blue. Ethan was using his Tricera Shield to block Psycho Blue's axe. Psycho Blue was swinging his axe wildly, attempting a few times to decapitate the Blue Ranger.

"Blue Ranger, you will fall to my axe!" Psycho Blue said as he swung his axe at Ethan's head again. Ethan blocked it and forced the psycho ranger back.

"Not if my shield can help it." Ethan said as he charged toward the psycho ranger, extending the tip of his shield to make it an offensive weapon as well as defensive.

Not far away, Trent and Kira were fighting Psycho Black. Trent used his Drago sword while Kira used her Ptera Grips. Psycho Black swung his lance at the two, but was blocked by their weapons. Trent jumped forward and hit the lance out of Psycho Black's hands.

"Kira, now!"

"Right," Kira drew her Thundermax Blaster and aimed at Psycho Black. "Thundermax Blaster, fire!" Laser erupted from the end of the barrel and contacted the psycho ranger, dropping him to one knee.

"You're mine now!" Trent ran at the psycho ranger. He moved faster than normal and appeared to be a streak of white lines. Trent went past Psycho Black and stopped, his sword raised as though he'd finished a strike. Psycho Black stood back up, panting heavily.

"Looks like you missed White Ranger."

"Think again." Trent flicked his wrist and Psycho Black was engulfed in a shower of sparks coming from his body until he exploded.

Reefside: Outskirts

Tommy, Jason and Wes were racing through the woods.

"Hayley, how far are we from Billy?" Tommy said into his morpher.

"About 200 feet up ahead. You're almost… wait, I' m getting a reading…"

"What is it?"

"I don't know, but something powerful is heading your way."

Tommy and the others stopped dead in their tracks. They looked in different directions to find what was coming toward them. From behind a tree, a large armoured person appeared, sword in hand.

"Zeltrax!"

"Yes, it is I."

"Impossible, I thought you were destroyed."

"All part of my plan to keep you from being prepared to face me. I shall now have my revenge Black Ranger."

"Not now. Not at a time like this."

Zeltrax brought his sword up and ran at the group of rangers.

"Brachio Staff!"

"Power Sword!"

"Chrono Sabers!"

The three rangers ran to meet the charging Zeltrax. Zeltrax swung his sword at Tommy, while dodging attacks from Wes and Jason. Tommy jumped away from the action.

"Guys, I'll go on ahead and find Billy. Take care of Zeltrax."

"Right!" Wes and Jason said in unison.

"No, you will not escape me Tommy Oliver!"

"You wanna bet?" Wes said. "Chrono Blaster!" Wes pulled his sidearm out of his holster and fired on Zeltrax. Zeltrax swung his sword to deflect the shots and returned fire by sending electricity through his sword to Wes. He jumped out of the way while Jason ran from behind Zeltrax and struck his back with his sword. Zeltrax stumbled forward and jabbed his sword in the ground to steady himself.

"How'd you like that?"

"Enough off this! I'll be back later rangers. Tell Dr. Oliver that he hasn't seen the last of me!" Zeltrax faded in a flash of light.

Reefside: Downtown

Conner and Ethan had beat back Psychos Red and Blue. Trent and Kira join the two others and face down the two remaining psycho rangers.

"How? How could possible beat us?" Psycho Red shouted.

"It because we're the Power Rangers!" Conner shouted back.

"When evil rears its ugly head…" Ethan said.

"The Power Rangers will always defeat them!" Kira finished.

"As you can see, we're keeping with that tradition!" Trent shouted.

"This isn't over! We'll meet again!" Psycho Red proclaimed. Both Psycho Rangers disappeared in a flash of light.

"Well that takes care of them." Conner said in relief.

"I know. I didn't think I could last that much longer." Ethan replied.

Conner reached up for his morpher.

"Hayley, do you read? We took care of the Psychos for now. Black is done for, but Red and Blue got away."

"Good job guys."

Reefside: Industrial District

Eric and Ryan were demorphed and sitting near the powerless Q-Rex.

"Well I sure hope our zords can get fixed in time." Ryan said.

"Hopefully, least I don't have as much as a repair job as you." Eric joked.

"Funny."

The ground began to shake. Eric and Ryan shot up to their feet and began to look around. Out of the ground the Replicant Zord and Mezodon Megazord appeared unharmed.

"What?"

"No way!"

Both zords began to slash at the two rangers. Eric and Ryan had only seconds to dodge each attack.

"Hayley, we got a big problem here!" Eric said into his morpher.

"I can see that. You guys need to get out of there asap. We have no more zord back up. You guys were it."

"No complaints there. Let's go Ryan!"

Both rangers ran as fast as they could to avoid the attacks coming from the zords. Ryan and Eric drew their blasters and fired on the zords as they ran to try and slow them down. The blasts practically bounced off the zords without doing any damage. As they were running, Ryan saw something fly toward the zords in the distance. It hit the two and knocked them over. They turned and saw another megazord standing before them. It had an alligator for the torso and legs, wolf for one arm and a shark for the other. Its head had a mostly covered face wearing a wolf's head like a hat. It wielded a large staff comprised of a alligator and shark tail.

"What is that thing?"

"Predazord, Revolver Phantom!" the pilot of the megazord commanded. It used the alligator tail as a drill and jabbed it at the Replicant Zord. "Gator Staff!" The megazord took up its weapon and charged the two zords. It swung each end at the two, making devastating blows. Sparks flew from each hit the two zords took. The Replicant Zord its blade at the Predazord, but was blocked by its staff.

"Let's finish this!" the alligator head rose from the torso and faced outward, mouth opened. "Beast Hurricane!" A large burst of energy erupted from the alligator's mouth and flew toward the two zords. It made contact and both zords dropped within seconds. After a few seconds the zords disappeared as fast as they appeared. The Predazord disassembled into its components and disappeared as well, but the pilot dropped down in front of them. Ryan and Eric looked him over. He was defiantly a power ranger. His suit was mostly silver with traces of navy blue and what looked to be a gold sash separated into six parts. His helmet was designed after a wolf, as was a small emblem on his chest near his heart.

"Merrick? Is that you?" Eric asked.

The ranger demorphed to reveal a man who looked to be in his late twenties.

"Yes, it's me Eric. The Lunar Wolf Wild Force Ranger."

Author's Notes: Another chapter complete. Merrick has been added to the team and Psycho Black has been lost. Things don't look too good for Mesogog right about now. Please Read and Review. Your thoughts and ideas are welcomed. The more I could add to the story, the better it could be. If anyone has ideas on what rangers I should bring back other than the ones I have established, it would be appreciated.

I'd like to thank those that reviewed my entire story so far
