Chapter 8
Vega remained behind the pillar until Titanus stopped its attack. It felt like forever that the energy blasts from Titanus's eyes shit the ground. Finally it stopped. Vega carefully looked from behind the pillar and looked at Titanus. The Zord remained in one spit, looking down at Vega.
"Saba, what is it doing?" Vega asked.
"Titanus is deciding whether or not you are worthy of using it." Saba replied.
"Really?" Vega asked, shocked.
"Yes. Since Titanus is linked to your Power Coin, like I am, I can understand it." Saba informed Vega.
"Excellent, what is it deciding right now?" he once again asked.
"Um, whether or not to destroy you." Saba answered carefully.
"Oh lucky me." Vega said sarcastically. "I wonder what the others are doing right now."
Back in the city, the Rangers once again dodged being crushed by Dragonzord. Josh was in total shock that the Dragonzord was acting like this. It didn't make sense.
"What have I done?" Josh asked out loud.
"Well, you brought on a crazy Zord to kill us." Tess said.
"You're not helping." Maralynn snapped at Tess.
"We need Dinozord power!" Josh called out.
The Dinozords came out of their hiding places, and the Rangers hopped in the cockpits; Josh having a hard time fitting due to wearing the Dragon Shield. "Man I should lose the Dragon Shield." he said.
"Josh! Leave the Dragon Shield on! The fact you are wearing it is helping get the Dragonzord back under control!" Ninjor called out.
"Alright I guess." Josh muttered.
Soon the Zords combined into the Megazord, and began taking on the Dragonzord. It was soon after, Karina remembered something. "Guys, aren't we forgetting about Minotuar? She asked.
It was soon after she had said that that the Minotaur slammed into the Megazord, sending it to the ground. The Rangers yelled as they hit the Earth, falling out of the Megazord. Tess rolled over to look at Karina. "Did you seriously have to say that?" she angrily asked Karina.
"I'm sorry." Karina said sadly.
"Don't worry about it. The monster would have hit us sooner or later." Josh said in an assuring voice. He pulled out the Dragon Dagger, and played some more notes on it, hoping it would cease the Dragonzord's rampage. "Dragonzord! You need to stop this! We need you to help us!" he cried out to the Zord.
To their surprise; the Dragonzord finally stopped its destruction, and began going after the Minotaur. The Rangers watched in awe as the Dragonzord sent the Minotaur into the ground with its tail.
"I don't know what you did, but good job Josh." Bryn said.
"Thanks." Josh said. "It worked." he thought to himself. Now just to know how Vega was making out with Titanus.
Vega hopped into the cockpit of Titanus, and looked around. There had to be a way to control this Zord. Saba was up floating around also looking. Saba then floated over and put himself into a slot at the control panel. "Vega, as long as I am in here, I can try and gain control over Titanus." Saba informed him.
"Alright. Do you stuff Saba." Vega replied. He was really hoping that Saba could finally do it. He had a feeling that his friends needed him badly right now. It was then he looked down to see a gold figure standing below them; Goldar was back.
"Oh dear, Goldar is back." Saba said.
"Don't worry about it Saba, I got this." Vega said confidently. He leaped out of Titanus's cockpit, and on to the battlefield where Goldar stood.
"So bold of you to come down here without your weapon White Ranger." Goldar told Vega.
"I don't need Saba to beat you Goldar. I will fight you with or without him." Vega snapped, getting into a defensive stance. Goldar pulled out his sword, and the two ran at each other once again. Vega had not even reached Goldar fully before Goldar swung his sword and struck Vega, hurling him to the ground. Vega groaned in pain, but got back up and tried the attack again, and again was thrown around like a rag doll.
"Face it White Ranger, you will never beat me!" Goldar laughed hysterically.
Vega was in serious pain, but got up once again. "My friends, and the entire world are counting on me. I am not going to give up!" he thought to himself. "Bring it on Gold boy!" Vega shouted.
The Rangers had hopped back into the Megazord, and now they, along with the Dragonzord began fighting the Minotaur. This proved to be a lot easier now that there were 2 Zords fighting together.
"Man this is so much easier." Maralynn commented happily.
"Totally." Bryn replied.
Josh smiled. He was happy that the others were happy, as was he. "Alright, let's see what these two Zords can do; Mega Dragonzord power!" he called out. The midsection of the Dragonzord came out, and it folded up and attached to the Megazord, giving it upper body armor, and more power.
"Awesome!" cried Karina.
"I guess it's cool." admitted Tess.
Vega was starting to gain the upper hand in his battle against Goldar, but not by much. He had managed to knock away Goldar's sword, but didn't realize Goldar could be a strong fighter without it. "Getting tired Goldar?" Vega asked in a mock concern.
"Don't be a fool White Ranger. I am only getting warmed up!" taunted Goldar.
Vega rushed at Goldar with a punch, which Goldar managed to block, and kick Vega into the ground. Goldar then picked up his sword as Vega got up off the ground.
"You will never be as good as the other Power Rangers are." Goldar shouted at Vega.
Vega looked down. That was a low blow. "I may not be as good as them." he admitted, but then a wave of confidence came over him. "But it doesn't mean that I a weak Ranger!" he called back. He looked up at Titanus. "Titanus! We need you! I need you! I will work as hard as I can to show you that I am worthy of calling you my Zord!" he called to the giant Zord.
Goldar came charging at him, swinging his sword. Vega charged at Goldar at full force. "Titanus!" Vega cried out.
That's when it happened. Vega felt a surge of power go through him, making him more powerful. His suit also glowed, changing into a more armored form. At full force, he punched Goldar right in the stomach. Goldar was sent flying through the air, and a huge explosion erupted when he hit the ground. Vega's suit then went back to normal.
Goldar groaned. "Consider yourself lucky White Ranger!" he sanpped before disappearing.
Vega looked at his gloves and suit in shock. "What the hell was that?" he asked himself. He then hopped back into Titanus, and approached Titanus. "How goes it Saba?" he asked.
"It seem Titanus has finally considered you worthy of piloting it." Saba said.
"Yes!" Vega cheered. He then pulled up his left wrist, where his Power Watch was located. "Guys, I have Titanus. I'm on my way back to the city." he called.
"Good job buddy!" called Josh through the Power Watch.
"It's about time." he heard Tess add.
He laughed "Easy there Tess." he said. He then called to Titanus. "Let's go Titanus." he said. The Zord roared its approval, and headed towards the city.
The Rangers got struck my Minotaur hard, and staggered backwards. "We can't take much more!" called Karina.
"Easy guys, we got this!" Josh called assuringly.
"Josh is right, we got this!" called a voice. They looked up and saw Titanus coming towards them.
"Alright Vega!" called out Bryn.
"Ultrazord power!" cried Josh.
Titanus's long neck and head moved forward, and big cannon like blasters came out, an opening on it's back then appeared. The Mega Dragonzord leaped into Titanus, and formed the Ultrazord.
Vega appeared behind the Rangers. "You guys miss me?" he asked them in a joking manner.
"Hell yeah bro." Josh said, banging fists with him.
The Minotaur then began charging towards them, taking the Rangers by surprise. "Ultrazord fire!" they cried. The Ultrazord then sent several energy blasts at the Mintotaur, finally destroying it.
The Rangers celebrated. Another victory for them, and another defeat for Thrax. Now with the Ultrazord power, and the Dragonzord power, they felt ready to take on evil.
"I kid you not, my suit changed, and I became more powerful!" Vega said, trying to get them all to believe him. The others just kind of stared at him.
Josh was the first to speak. "Dude, our suits don't change just out of the blue." he said.
"I swear it did!" Vega said confidently. He looked at Ninjor. "What do you think Ninjor?" he asked him.
Ninjor shook his head. "I am not sure. It was an experiment gone right when I combined all of the powers of the Mighty Morphin team's powers together. Maybe something came out of it, but I am not sure." he informed them.
The Rangers looked shock, but then decided it had been a long day, and proceeded to teleport home. Only Vega and Tess remained in the Temple. Vega looked at Tess. "You alright?" he asked.
She looked at him. "Yeah, I'm fine. Good job today I guess." she said. She then proceeded to quickly teleport out.
Vega just shook his head. "That was weird." he muttered to himself, teleporting out.
Ninjor then thought about what Vega had told him. Did he really become that much more powerful?
And thus concludes the Titanus Quest ( I'm going to start titling these chapters). Now that the Dragonzord and Titanus are under the Rangers control, will they be more powerful? And what happened to Vega? Did he become more powerful?
