Ivan is Back
Chapter 5 - The Ninjetti Tell All
Author's note: I apologize for the chapters being on the short side. Once again I would like to remind everyone that I own nothing. Enjoy :)
Once Kimberly woke up the rangers led the veteran group back into the house and they all sat around the lounge room to discuss what was going on. Before they could start explaining who Ivan Ooze was though Kim's phone went off letting her know it was a call from her best friend Aisha.
"Hello? Aisha, slow down. What happened?" Kim spoke.
"For some unknown reason to us our spirit animals cried out." Aisha's voice came over the speakerphone.
"Yeah, Tommy and I heard it too 'Sha. Look, I need you guys to get Rocky and come to Paranorma City. I'll explain when you get here." Kim told her friend.
"Kim, has anyone heard from Billy? Surely if we heard our spirits then Billy was likely to hear the wolf as well." Adam's voice sounded.
"I'm here Adam, just do what Kim said. You should have enough power to teleport if you focus all your energy together." Billy explained.
"We will be there in 30 minutes then." Adam said before disconnecting the call.
Kim closed the call on her end and sighed. She placed her hands over her face trying to control her breathing and anxiety problems. How was she supposed to lead this mess? Maybe Jason and Tommy would take over leadership after she explained the mess with Ivan Ooze.
"Are you alright miss Hart?" Jayden asked feeling concerned for the veteran ranger in pink.
"Huh? Yeah, sorry Jayden. It's been a long time since I had to sit at one of these meetings and they just tend to stress me out a little." Kimberly told the young red ranger. She couldn't help but smile at the connection she saw between him and his pink clad friend. They reminded her of her years as a ranger with Tommy by her side.
"Jayden, we just got a call from Ocean Bluff. Looks like those ooze goons attacked the former Jungle Fury rangers as well." The girl in white spoke in a leadership tone much to her own at one time.
"Was anyone injured?"
"None of the rangers, a few civilians were wounded in the rush to get away but nothing serious."
The young blonde seated next to Jayden spoke next, "Jayden, this is seriously getting out of hand. Obviously these creatures aren't just after us. Other teams could get attacked as well and some don't even have powers anymore."
Jayden sighed, "I know Em. Lauren, inform the Jungle Fury rangers to remain in Ocean Bluff to protect it to the best of their abilities. We can't let civilians get hurt if it can be avoided."
Lauren nodded and went back into the other room to finish her phone call with the Jungle Fury rangers. While Lauren was finishing that up the others were in the kitchen making sandwiches for when the new group of people arrived and they could finally talk about what is going on.
It was another 10 minutes before Jason received a text from Rocky stating they were there and another 5 after that to get everyone to let of Billy.
Kim cleared her throat obviously wanting this discussion over with as soon as possible. "Can we start now?"
Aisha looked at her best friend and frowned, it's been so long since they saw each other and Kim's face was one of worry and fear not confidence and cheer that it once was but she nodded for her to continue.
"I guess we should start at the beginning." Billy stated knowing that the other ninjetti would know which beginning he meant.
"Over 6000 years ago, a morphological being known as Ivan Ooze was terrorizing the galaxy, it took a group of warriors with the ability to call on the spirit animals of the ninjetti to stop him. Our mentor Zordon of Eltar was one of those warriors that held the power of the dragon. He and his team fought with unbelievable strength and finally managed to stop him. They trapped Ivan in a hyperlock chamber on a barren planet...Earth. Unfortunately, during their last battle with Ivan they all suffered from grave wounds. Zordon was the only survivor." Aisha started with a tear in her eye as she talked about their fallen leader.
Kimberly placed her hand on Aisha's shoulder and continued, "in the year 1995, myself, Aisha, Rocky, Adam, Billy, and Tommy were the current group of Earth's protectors. Zordon informed us of Ivan's release and we fought his purple slime creatures until something awful happened."
Rocky picked up where Kim left off, "Ivan had somehow managed to get into our command center and destroy it and with it our powers and Zordon. Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 send us to the distant planet of Phaedos to locate the power of the sacred ninjetti warriors. Only if we made it through the jungle to the monolith would we be worthy of the powers there. We traveled for a day and finally reached the monolith, waiting there was the great power but also its guardians."
"Once the guardians were destroyed we received the powers of the frog, bear, ape, crane, wolf and falcon. We returned to Earth and immediately sought out Ivan. Unfortunately, with us having been gone for hours it was enough time for him to dig up his zord-like constructs and start terrorizing the city. The kids of Angel Grove managed to break their parents out of the hypnosis that Ivan put them under before they walked to their deaths and with the use of Ryan's Comet we were able to destroy Ivan Ooze. At least, that is what we thought." Adam finished.
"During my travel from Aquitar I believe I found the reason he was able to return. When we allowed him to be hit with the comet parts of him melted into the comet and allowed him to reform inside it I believe." Billy spoke still looking lost over the destruction of his new home.
"So, because he was able to reform inside the comet you think some of his henchmen have spend the last 16 years digging him out?" Kevin spoke.
"I believe it is possible." Billy told the rangers.
"So how do we stop him? Will he go after the other ranger teams like he has with us and the Jungle Fury rangers?" Emily questioned.
Jason had stepped outside for a minute to answer his phone but was coming back in just as Emily asked about attacks on other teams. " I think it's a safe bet. Kim, Tanya just called, Ashley and the space rangers were attacked on KO-35."
Kim sighed, "Jason, tell Andros to issue a red alert. No ranger travels alone. They need to get back to their city and report to their leader. Ivan is obviously calling us out for war. Billy, is there a way that you can get a hold of the Aquitian rangers? They could be under attack next."
Billy looked at his old friend, "they already were. Aquitar has fallen Kim. I'm the only one that got out."
With the news of their fallen comrades the rangers held a moment of silence. Kim then gave out orders for the veteran rangers to head to teams that were either without a full team or that didn't have powers. Rocky was told to get a hold of Justin and have him join a team as well. With the fall of Aquitar Kim was sure that Ivan Ooze was not playing around now that he knew he had their attention.
"You okay Ptera?" Jason asked using her original ranger nickname.
"No Rex, this is a war now and rangers are going to die. WE may die." Kim whispered.
