DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS
AN: I hope you all enjoyed the first appearances of the major characters (most of them anyway), so let's see what happens when we bring everyone together...
Thanks to all my first reviewers! I didn't quite expect such a good response! So because i'm feeling nice and festive, chapter 3 will be posted on Christmas Day ;)

"Why have two forces destroying the world when you can have three!", the shadowy figure stood atop his mountainous lair and surveyed the Earth below. He lifted a scarred hand into the air and within moments the skies were filled with threatening black clouds.
"Now all I have to do is wait!"
The creature leapt down from his perch and into the world below...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In the town of Reefside, a terror was evident in the people that hadn't been seen since the might of Mesogog had threatened them three years ago. But the mere presence of the monster before them now sent them running in every direction as it strode mightily through the streets.
On the other side of town, Xander felt the presence of evil amongst the people as he hurried purposefully in search of its source. He barely noticed the lightning fast streak that passed him and he watched as it landed shortly afterwards on one knee. The figure stood to reveal Tori complete in Ninja uniform. "Tori!", Xander ran towards her; "Is it just me, or is this just not adding up?" She nodded back at him in agreement as they gazed up at the darkened sky, with the odd flash of lightning surging across it.
"We're not the only ones then...", Kira's voice reached them as she walked towards the two with Adam beside her; "I had some unwelcome visitors too".
"Visitors?", Xander and Adam said in unison, confused looks on their faces.
"Yeah, I had them...", Tori agreed; "Black, red stripe, ginormous horn..."
"Oh yeah, those are the guys", Kira confirmed.
Adam shook his head worriedly; "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
As if on cue, a bold bolt of lightning struck behind the group and thunderously loud footsteps soon followed...The Rangers turned in unison to come face to face with a threatening-looking creature.
It stood no less than seven feet tall and an impossibly thick silver armour surrounded it's body. However, sharp spines stuck out of the armour on all sides and the heat coming from it seemed unbearable. It's head bore three horns and two jet black eyes that looked like the abyss. Scars littered the exposed parts of the scaly flesh and two curved swords hung from it's sides. The piercing eyes stared down at the Rangers as they took in it's features.
"Let me guess...", came the ice-cold voice from within the creature; "The rest of the Power Rangers?"
Already knowing the answer, he continued; "Let me introduce myself Rangers, I am Osirico, I know that you have already met my sons; Moltor and Flurious...", the Rangers were still silent as the monster took slow steps towards them and they in turn stepped backwards; "I'll make this short...", he growled; "I came here to rid this planet of its defenses, mainly being you, to make way for my sons' ingenious plans. They already have one set of Rangers to deal with and they don't need another!", with that he shouted into the air; "Hornets,attack!"
As the monster walked away and faded into mist, the Rangers were left still reeling and with a hundred footsoldiers to deal with.
"I guess these are the guys that attacked you?", Xander asked.
"Oh yeah", Kira replied.
"Only this time they're on fire...", Tori added, noting the flames issuing from them.
"Let's not waste any time then", Adam concluded.
"I hear that", Tori quickly accessed her Ninja spirit and water began to form in her hands and she rapidly flung the torrents which came crashing down on the Hornets, quickly extinguishing the flames.
"Let's go guys!", Adam brought out his morpher; "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
"NINJA STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!"
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!"
"MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!"
"Mastodon!"
"Power of Water!"
"Ptera Power!"
"Strong as a tree, Green Mystic Ranger!"
The four Rangers charged into battle, each with their chosen weapon drawn. Adam was the first to make contact as he slammed into the first few Hornets, sending them flying everywhere and the follow-up strikes with the Power Axe proved to be lethal.
Xander's tactics proved to be very similar in using brute strength over agility and speed as he summoned the Mystic Fighters.He swiped at the nearest group of footsoldiers, taking them out with one blow and simply swept the legs out from under any that remained standing before moving on to the next to get in his way.
"Flood Attack!", Tori summoned her elemental powers as the group of Hornets facing her suddenly plummeted down into an underwater world. The Blue Ranger unsheathed her Ninja Sword and began to attack the now helpless soldiers as they haplessly flapped around in the water. One quick strike to each of them from the sword was enough to severely weaken them as they were roughly thrown back on to dry land, the Ranger landing comfortably beside them; a succession of rapid fire from the Sonic Fin cemented their fate.
Kira drew her Thundermax Saber as she ran towards the Hornets, the weapon striking out in all directions, sending sparks flying from the enemies armor. The Yellow Ranger launched a torrent of high kicks towards one of the footsoldiers before planting a firm foot on it's shoulder and using it to thrust herself into the air. Quickly converting the saber to blaster mode, she fired on the inferior Hornets before casually landing as the creatures were destroyed.
The Rangers moved to stand together as a group and take a look at their handiwork as the skies turned back to their original blue colour; "Power down".
"Well, that was interesting", Tori commented.
"Looks like he's here to stay though", Kira added.
"Yeah, he's gonna be a big challenge for us", Adam finished.
"Us?", Xander looked at the Black Ranger curiously.
"Well, what do we think...can we take on this guy?"
"Well, we do have the suits...", Kira agreed.
"With only four of us?", Xander asked again.
"I call it a good challenge...i'm in", Tori put out her hand, palm down in the centre of the group, towards the others.
"Can't let you have all the fun", Kira's hand joined Tori's.
"Once a Ranger...", Adam put his hand in also and looked enquiringly at Xander.
"...Always a Ranger", Xander grinned at the others as his own hand joined the pile.
"So you're gonna do it then?", the Rangers all spun and were unsurprised to see Tommy stood there.
"Yeah...", Adam answered; "...But we're gonna need some help", he admitted. Each Ranger gestured from Tommy to the pile of hands between them.
"Come on Dr. O".
"What do you say?"
Tommy couldn't help but grin widely back at the group as he made his way over, firmly cementing his hand into the mix; "I wouldn't miss it for the world".
The Rangers lifted their hands high into the air, filled with confidence; "Power Rangers!"
"One thing though, we might need some power upgrades, this guy seems pretty tough", Adam hinted hopefully.
"And a base", Tori added.
"Tommy thought for a second about the latter; "I think i've got that covered...", he glanced at Kira, who instantly knew what he was thinking.
Adam looked around at everyone; "It feels just like old times".
