Elsa and Zurgane stood before their army of monsters, both from Mesogog's army and Lothor's army. Together, they were going to take out the Rangers and finally bring the world to its knees for their masters. Elsa cast a glance over at Zurgane and smirked while he wasn't looking. Her master already had a plan for after the battle. There could only be one ruler.
The Rangers ran as fast as they could with their respective counterparts. Shane and Conner were in the lead, as they knew where they were headed. Tori and Kira, as well as Dustin and Ethan were only a few steps behind.
Tommy and Cam were right in the middle of the group and they could occasionally glance back at Blake and Trent, and Hunter, Kelly and Leanne to make sure they were still following.
The thirteen stopped in a straight line, all facing the monsters and generals before them as they dropped into a fighting stance.
"Let's be careful," Tommy ordered everyone, "but let's get it done."
Conner nodded and took a step forward, "Are you guys ready?"
"Ready!" everyone answered and the Rangers held their morphers up. The Dinos called out their morph first, followed by the Ninjas as an explosion of fire and lightning crashed behind them. They were all specific in their calls, naming their dino power or their elemental power.
After a while, Kelly yawned as she looked at Leanne. The younger red head shrugged, causing Kelly to turn to the Rangers.
"Seriously? Please tell me you don't do that every time," she asked the Rangers as she glanced at her wrist to prove her point.
"Now you know how we feel," Else snapped before pointing her sword forward, "Attack!" she shouted and the monster rushed forward on her command. Conner, Shane, Dustin, Ethan, Tori and Kira ran ahead of the group as their bikes materialised before them. They jumped on and drove towards the incoming army of monsters, blasting at anything they could, taking out anything that would be too weak to survive and narrowing down the opposition's numbers.
Hunter turned to Kelly and Leanne, "You guys stay back. Only help if things really get bad," he told them.
Leanne and Kelly nodded. Tommy looked at Hunter, Blake, Cam and Trent before the five of them rushed off to help their friends.
Hunter and Blake had a clear path to Zurgane and rushed for him. Zurgane pulled out his swords and the battle began. Tommy quickly jumped in to help, attacking three on one.
Cam and Trent drove forward on Trent's bike, blasting at the Wolfblades, the Tyrannodrones and the Kalzacks.
Kelly could feel the Earth trembling under her feet and had to focus to keep herself balanced. Beside her, Leanne stood steady, like the shaking had no affect on her balance. She watched the fight with a stern look on her face, like she was waiting for something to happen.
"You're really showing off, aren't you?" Kelly asked her sister.
Leanne smirked, "Just wait for it."
Kelly looked back at the battlefield and the first thing to catch her eye was Kira and Tori soaring through the skies together, pointing their blasters at Elsa. The woman clad in black threw a ball of energy towards the two girls, narrowly hitting them as they fired their blasters.
All three of them were thrown back from the many explosions, but Kira and Tori pulled themselves up quickly. Elsa rolled on the ground and slowly pushed herself up. She hand one hand clasped firmly onto her arm and she stood with a hunch, breathing heavily.
Kelly turned, wanting to see how her boyfriend was doing with Zurgane. She noticed Hunter and Blake jumping out of the way in synchronization, letting Tommy fly forward and kick Zurgane in the chest before landing behind him. Tommy, Hunter and Blake stood at three different points around Lothor's General, forming a triangle around him. Blake and Hunter lunged forward, keeping Zurgane distracted while Tommy summoned power from the energy orb. The Thunder brothers jumped away just in time as Tommy's energy was launched forward, hitting Zurgane. The General collapsed to the ground, exploding in different pieces as his energy faded away into nothing.
The rest of the monsters were taken out in a similar fashion. By the end of it all, Kelly was seeing colours in her eyes from the many explosions and the smoke was beginning to fill the battlefield, blocking everything out.
Kelly turned to her sister, "Did they do it?" she asked.
Leanne nodded and smiled before she heard something coming from behind her. Without alerting her sister, she turned around slowly.
Kelly continued to watch the Rangers. The smoke began to rise and she could see them all coming together in celebration. She smiled, until she saw her sister flying over her head and landing roughly on the ground. Kelly turned around and took a step back as the Rangers all ran towards her. Cam and Blake stopped beside Leanne, helping her to her feet and holding her up as she doubled over in pain.
Lothor stepped forward, "You didn't really think I would just let you guys win, did you?" he asked.
Elsa approached the Rangers and Lothor, her glare fixed on the evil Ninja, "You were never going to win."
Lothor held his hand up as a beam of energy was shot at Mesogog's right hand woman. Elsa's eyes widened before she disappeared, saving her own life.
Lothor turned back to the Rangers, "Give up!"
Shane stepped forward, "We destroyed you once; we can do it again!"
"Is that so?" Lothor held up his hand again and the Rangers were blown off their feet as they all landed in a heap, coughing loudly. Their Ranger Powers failed them and they were all left in civilian state and vulnerable.
Ethan coughed as he propped himself up on his hands, "You know, no offense to you guys, but I never assumed Lothor was actually a threat."
"It's the ponytail," Kelly winced.
"We won't underestimate him," Conner said as he struggled to get back to his feet. Once he was up, he held out a hand, pulling Kira up as well. "Are you guys ready?"
"Hold on, dude," Dustin called from the ground. He sat up and shook his head, "It's been a while since we've been Rangers."
Shane got to his feet and pulled his friend up, "C'mon, man. One fight to end it all."
Dustin nodded and stood beside Shane. Tori got to her feet as well and glared at Lothor. Shane stepped in front of Tori and Dustin.
"You lied to us!"
"You'd think they'd get Rangers who were smarter than you guys," Lothor laughed. "Of course I lied! I'm the bad guy!"
"He's got a point," Kira nodded.
"You won't mess with our heads again, Lothor!" Shane barked as Tori pointed her glare to Kira.
Cam approached Shane, placing a hand on his shoulder, "We have a problem."
Shane turned around. Ethan rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, he's six feet tall, has a ponytail and he's standing over there," he pointed to pointed to Lothor while Conner nodded in agreement. Shane ignored the Dino boys as Cam redirected his attention over to Leanne. Blake lifted her hand off her stomach, revealing a deep gash that torn right through her uniform. Leanne's hand was shaking as she glanced up at Shane, worry and fear etched on her face.
Cam dropped beside Leanne, wrapping her in his arms. He couldn't leave her, even if it was to settle a score with his uncle. Blake felt the same. Leanne was his sister and family came first.
Tori looked at Blake and nodded, wordlessly telling him she would fight the battle for him. Lothor hurt his sister, someone had to defend her.
Tori turned to Lothor and clenched her fists. He was seriously starting to piss her off. She wasn't the only one though. Kelly could almost hear Hunter's blood boiling as he stood beside her. His face matched his Ranger colour as he fumed. Kelly wasn't far from his point of anger though. Leanne was her baby sister, by blood. She touched Hunter's arm.
"I don't give a fuck about personal safety," she said. She turned to Lothor, "Someone's got to kick his ass."
"Kelly…"
"No," Kelly shook her head. She wasn't hiding anymore.
"I'll watch her dude," Conner said, stepping forward. Tori shook her head.
"Kira will watch her," she said. "If something happens, we'll all hear Kira scream."
"That doesn't sound creepy at all," Kira stated. She touched her morpher as she turned to Conner, "Think it'll work?"
"They better," he nodded. "If not, we're unarmed."
"We'll take care of Leanne," Tommy announced to the six. "You guys take care of Lothor."
"Don't have to tell me twice," Conner said. He stepped forward, calling out the morph for himself, Ethan and Kira. Hunter and Tori were quick to follow.
As the Rangers morphed, Kelly had her own plan. She couldn't fight like any of them could, so she would be useless in hand to hand combat against the evil space ninja. She did however have other tricks up her sleeve. When Zurgane exploded, he left behind a sword. When one of the monsters vanished, they left behind a bo.
Unnoticed by everyone, Kelly left her group and picked up the two items. This quarry was filled with tools Kelly could use to build her own weapon. Leanne had taught her a few tricks with the thunder staff; Kelly could use that.
When the Rangers were morphed they rushed forward and Hunter quickly jumped into the fight, throwing punch after punch in Lothor's direction. Conner backed him up, attacking Lothor from another angle so he couldn't focus all his energy on Hunter alone. However, one wrong move from Hunter allowed Lothor the chance to reach his arm out and grab the Crimson and Red Rangers by the necks. He lifted them both up off their feet. As the two Rangers struggled for breath, Tori motioned for Kira and Ethan to follow her orders.
The two dinos nodded and rushed forward, leaving Lothor with no choice but to toss Conner and Hunter aside so he could free up his hands for Ethan and Kira.
"Now!" Tori shouted before they got too into their fight. Ethan and Kira both jumped to the sides, leaving Lothor confused as to why they would suddenly retreat. Tori smirked as she glared at Lothor. "Power of Water!" she shouted and aimed a thin yet powerful beam of water at Lothor's chest, painfully causing him to stagger backwards.
Fed up with the water boarding, Lothor decided to fight fire with fire. He stood against the water attack, as much as it hurt.
"Power of Earth!" he called as the ground began to tremble. Rocks were suddenly lifted from the ground. Tori's water powers failed as she looked on, panicked.
"Shit…" she muttered before turning around and running. Lothor threw his hands forwards and a large rock was projected Tori's way, nailing her in the back. Tori stumbled and rolled on the ground as her Ranger suit disappeared.
"Tori!" Blake shouted as he watched. Cam nodded to his friend.
"I've got her," he said, motioning to Leanne. Blake smiled softly before running after Tori.
Lothor wasn't done yet. He threw a second rock towards Conner and Hunter. They jumped out of the way just in time to avoid being hit, but landed on the ground just as the rock did and were showered by the debris which cut through their suits, causing them to power down.
Lothor turned to Ethan and Kira. The two dinos exchanged looks through their visors as a rock hurtled towards them. Ethan pulled out his shield as Kira ducked behind him. The rock smashed against the shield, throwing both Rangers onto the ground. Kira rolled slightly farther than Ethan, who unfortunately found his foot was caught under the rock. He groaned as he pushed the rock away and pulled his foot in closer to his body as his powers disappeared.
Kira knelt down beside him. She placed her hand on his back for comfort before realising she was forgetting something. She looked around.
"Where's Kelly?" she whispered to Ethan. He rubbed his leg, knowing there was no way he would be able to stand on it.
"I have no idea," he answered her. Kira made sure he was okay before standing up.
Lothor chuckled, "I see there's just one left," he pointed to the four others. None of them were still in their suits. Kira noticed the same thing and suddenly felt very alone, though she knew Shane, Dustin, Tommy, Trent, Blake and Cam were right behind her, ready to back her up in case this team fell.
Suddenly Lothor was swept off his feet. He landed with a loud thud on the ground and Kira could feel the vibrations under her feet. She noticed Kelly standing over Lothor, with her makeshift weapon in her hands. The end with the sword pointed at his neck. The yellow dino couldn't help but chuckle. Lothor had been bragging a lot about power and he had been knocked flat on his ass in one move by a store owner who was in way over her head and couldn't fight for shit.
Lothor smirked. His ego wasn't bruised yet, "Well, well, you're the sister, right?"
Kelly pulled her weapon back slightly, "Yeah."
"You're just the Ranger's friend, right?" he asked. "You're not a threat."
"If you think so," Kelly nodded.
Lothor got to his feet and Kelly took a cautious step back. The evil space ninja chuckled, grabbing her weapon with one hand. Kelly clutched onto it tighter as Lothor leaned in.
"Seeing as you're not a threat, you have five seconds to run."
Kelly shook her head and yanked the weapon from Lothor's hand suddenly and delivered a powerful roundhouse kicked to the side of his face, something she learned way back when she was a child in her kickboxing classes. Lothor was thrown to the side as he landed on the ground.
Hunter pushed himself to his feet and ran toward Lothor before he could get back. He had already severely injured his sister; Hunter wasn't going to give him the chance to hurt his girlfriend. He jumped on Lothor, pinning him to the ground.
Kelly smirked, "Hunter, he's going to the Abyss no matter what, right?" she asked. Hunter looked up momentarily.
"Yeah."
Kelly nodded, "Perfect," she said, flipping her weapon around so the sword was facing the ground. She held it over Lothor's shoulder before jamming it down. Hunter got up as Lothor screamed in pain. He pulled out the weapon from his bleeding shoulder and threw it aside.
Hunter grabbed Kelly and started running back towards the other Rangers.
Shane stepped forward, "Time to end this!" he shouted.
Conner jumped to his feet, "I'm with you on that. Dino Thunder, Power Up!"
"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form!"
"Batalizer!" the two called out in unison and in one swift motion they pulled out their weapons, enhanced by the power of the batalizers, and they shot at Lothor, combining their power.
Lothor's screams were masked by the sound of the explosions around him, knocking everyone down and once again filling up the entire battlefield with smoke. When it cleared, the Rangers looked around.
Lothor was nowhere in sight.
Conner turned to Shane as they both powered down, "Is that it?" he asked.
Shane nodded, "I guess so."
"So, like, no Mesogog coming down to avenge Lothor's death or anything?" Dustin asked. "We're like, done, done?"
"I think so, Dustin," Tommy nodded, placing his hand on Dustin's shoulder before he turned back to Leanne, "We might want to get back to the lab, though."
Kira helped Ethan to his foot, the other unable to support any kind of weight, "That sounds like a plan," she agreed.
