Episode 3 Dragonheads
It was just another ordinary at Angel Grove High. The battle from the other day was still fresh in the rangers' minds. So far their junior year had started off pretty interesting. The realization that the fate of the entire world now rested on their shoulders hadn't really set in yet, at least for Brianna anyway. The fact that she now had this new responsibility besides studying and getting good grades made her both happy and worried. She wasn't an athlete really and she barely knew how to fight. She wondered if she had what takes to actually be a ranger. She thought of this as she walked down the hallway to her locker.
While she was putting her textbooks into her backpack the locker door next to hers opened. Brianna looked and saw it was Christina looking in a mirror that was in her hand. Christina had dark skin and long black hair and was considered by many to be one of those "popular" girls. Someone who Brianna thought wouldn't want to hang out with a bookworm like her. Christina looked over to her and said cheerfully "Hey what's up?"
"Hi," Brianna said quietly.
"Still thinking about the battle from the other day," Christina said.
"Shh, keep your voice down," Brianna said quickly. "Remember what Dimitria said, we're not allowed to let people know who we are."
"Relax no one's listening," Christina said. Brianna looked around, it appeared she was right. There was barley anyone in the halls and the few people that were there were wrapped up in their own lives to give a damn about what they were talking about.
"Yeah I guess you're right," Brianna said.
"You know ever since that battle I've been thinking," Christina said. "We're supposed to be a team whose sole purpose is to protect the planet from an evil we basically know nothing about, and we all don't even know each other. Like for instance, our lockers have been right next to each other since freshman year and I didn't even know your name until yesterday."
"Ha ha, I guess you're right," said Brianna. "Some team huh?"
"I think we should change that," said Christina. "I feel we should all get to together and learn more about each other, since we're all gonna be in this whole 'never ending battle against evil thing'. Let's start now, I'm judging by your British accent you're originally from England."
Brianna adjusted her glasses and said "Actually yes, I lived there when I was younger, but lived in Angel Grove most of my life."
"That so cool I've always wanted to go there," said Christina. "Well actually I've always wanted to go anywhere and get out of this town."
"Oh by the way," said Brianna. "I think I know a place where we can find out more about our enemy."
"Where?" asked Christina
"The library," said Brianna
"Seriously?" asked Christina. "What's in the library?"
"Information that's what," said Brianna. "Come on let's go." As they were about to walk away Christina noticed Sam walking down the stairs.
"Hey Sam!" Christina yelled. Sam looked up and saw Brianna and Christina walking towards him.
"We're going to the library. Wanna go?" asked Christina
"The library, what for?" asked Sam raising an eyebrow.
"Come on guys stop acting like going to the library is the most unusual thing in the world," said Brianna. Sam shrugged and then walked with them down the halls to the school library. When got in Brianna lead them down the many rows of books. As they walked Brianna said "Okay so a while ago I checked out this book for bit of light reading," she stopped at a shelf searched for a moment and then grabbed a dictionary sized book. "Here it is."
"Jesus Brianna," said Christina looking at the massive book. "You call that light."
"What?" asked Brianna.
Christina then looked over at the title of the book "Greek Mythology throughout the Ages?"
"That's right," answered Brianna. They all then walked over to a table, Brianna set the book down opened and started flipping through the pages.
"So what does this book have to do with our enemy?" asked Sam.
"Well," Brianna began. "During our battle, that guy in the black cloak mentioned the name Eris. And the name seemed familiar to me but I couldn't remember where I heard it. Then I did I was in this book. This is our enemy," she point to a picture in the book of a woman holding a golden apple. "Eris the goddess of chaos, and she's just all around bad news. In her time she caused countless wars including the Trojan War. She led Typhon, one of the most feared monsters in mythology, into battle. And made life for both mortals and gods miserable, she basically tried to end the world on a daily basis, until Zeus imprisoned into god knows where."
"She sounds like a bitch," said Christina.
"Wait a minute," said Sam. "You think our enemy is some kind of evil goddess?"
"Why not?" said Brianna. "The names of those two guys we were fighting were Erebus and Atlas."
"So?" asked Christina.
"Erebus the minor god of darkness and Atlas the titan god who in legend holds up the sky it can't be just a coincidence," said Brianna.
"Michael and Gabe should be hearing this," said Sam. "Where are they anyway?"
"Gabe said he was going to the Power Chamber and Michael's at football practice," Christina said. She then looked at her watch and said "Which reminds me I have track practice now. See you guy's later." She grabbed her bag and then left the library.
On Phobos, in the black fortress, Eris was setting on her throne contemplating on how to get rid of the rangers. Then she had an idea. She conjured a golden apple in her hand and said "I'll summon a monster that will sure to make things difficult for those rangers." She then through the apple to the floor, it glowed and exploded summoning a creature. The monster was nine feet with scaly skin and long sharp claws on his hands. He had a long tail and a head that resembled a dragon.
"Welcome Hydra," said Eris. The dragon looking creature looked up and growled. "I need you to do a little favor for me." She walked down from her throne coming closer toward the creature.
"What is it you need queen of discord?" said Hydra.
"I need to go destroy a small group of warriors who call themselves the power rangers" said Eris.
"Ha that'll be easy," said Hydra.
"Good," said Eris. "Lycan, Lamia you two go with him. Let's see if you guys can do better than these two fools," she pointed with her thumb at Erebus and Atlas. Atlas sneered in anger whereas no one could tell what Erebus was thinking. Then Lamia, Lycan, and Hydra disappeared.
At the Power Chamber, the alarm suddenly went off. "What's going on?" asked Gabe.
"Alpha, teleport the other rangers here," said Dimitria. Alpha then pressed a couple buttons on the control panels and the rangers appeared.
"Rangers," Dimitria said. "Our enemy has sent a monster called the Hydra to destroy you." The rangers looked at the viewing globe and saw the monster along with two other people causing destruction.
"Alright guys lets go," said Michael
"Wait rangers," said Dimitria. "I have a gift for all of you. New weapons to use at your disposal, Michael you have the power sword, a weapon with a blade that can become fire and burn as hot as the sun. Gabe, you have the power axe, a weapon with a blade that can cut through anything even diamond. Sam, you have the power lance, a tool that will help you deliver powerful blows with extreme speed. Christina, you have the power daggers, at your command the blades become electrically charged making them more powerful. And Brianna, you have the power bow, this allows you to fire many arrows at once so you can take down more enemies. These weapons combined to make the Power Blaster which can destroy enemies." Their weapons then appeared in their hands.
The rangers looked at their weapons and were amazed by them. "Thank you Dimitria, these will definitely come in handy," said Michael. They all then took out their morphers and said "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" They morphed and were teleported into the battlefield.
"Stop right there you three!" Michael called out to the three enemies. One of the enemies was tall dragon looking monster; the other two looked relatively human. One was a man with long hair and a short beard, the other was a young woman with straight black hair.
"Hello rangers," said the woman. "Here to witness the destruction of your city?" The rangers looked around the streets seemed deserted.
"Sam, Christina," said Michael. "You guys take care of those two, well take care of the monster."
"Right," they said in unison. Christina went for the woman while Sam went for the man. The man looked at Sam and smiled a menacing grin.
"Hello blue ranger," said the man.
Sam held up his lance and said "Who are you supposed to be?"
"The name's Lycan the first werewolf."
"Funny, you don't look much like a werewolf," said Sam.
"Oh I'm sorry is this more accurate," after he said that he changed. His eyes turned gold, he became taller and bigger, he became furry and claws grew out of his fingers, his head became canine shaped and his teeth became long sharp. He then roared at Sam.
"Yikes," said Sam. "And I thought you were ugly before." Lycan was angered by that remark and leapt for an attack. Sam blocked Lycan's claws with his power lance and pushed him away. They then began to fight.
Christina and the woman were staring each other down. "Okay, so if he's a werewolf, what are you a vampire?" said Christina.
"Actually yes," said the woman. "I am Lamia queen of the vampires." Her eyes then turned blood red and her fangs showed.
"Wait," said Christina. "I thought vampires hated sunlight."
"Oh you humans and your stupid misconceptions," Lamia said as she pulled out two Sais. "By the way sweetie yellow's out," she then, at amazing speed, ran towards Christina and tried to stab her with one of her Sais. Christina dodged her attack. Lamia turned quickly and tried to slash her. She was fast but Christina was faster. She blocked her Sais with her power daggers.
While that was happening, Michael, Gabe, and Brianna surrounded Hydra. Michael then attacked him with his power sword. Hydra blocked his attack and then slashed him with his claws. Brianna then fire two arrows one went into Hydra's shoulder the other went into his neck. Hydra roared in pain. Gabe then ran towards Hydra holding up his axe for an attack.
"Take this, Stone Cutter!" as soon as Gabe yelled out the name of his attack the blade on his power axe glowed. He then slashed at Hydra's neck chopping off his head. When Hydra's lifeless head hit the ground Gabe yelled out "Yeah we did it we won!"
"You shouldn't have done that," said Brianna. Gabe then looked back at Hydra. And from his neck wound grew out two heads.
"That's the Hydra," said Brianna every time you chop off one of its heads two more grow in its place."
"So how do we defeat it?" asked Michael.
Brianna then held up her bow loaded another arrow and aimed. "Hit him in the heart," she said and yelled out "Hurricane Arrow!" her arrow then glowed pink and then she fired. The arrow was spinning fast through the air turning into a wind blast that blasted right through Hydra's chest.
Michael then held up his sword for an attack. He yelled out "Meteor Blade!" his sword was then set ablaze with fire and he then slashed Hydra in the chest. And Gabe did the same with his axe. Hydra was in a lot of pain. Then with one of his heads Hydra bit on Gabe's right arm, which made him drop his axe, picked him up and through him to the side. Brianna ran towards Gabe to try and help him but Hydra whipped her away with his tail.
Sam was still fighting Lycan. When Lycan ran towards Sam for another attack Sam held up his lance and yelled out "Glacier Strike!" the spear ends of his lance glowed blue and when Lycan was close enough Sam stabbed him and the force of it blasted him away.
Christina and Lamia were still fighting with their blades. They seemed to be evenly matched. But Lamia was not giving up as she started to fight with more force. Then Christina kicked her hard in the stomach causing her to keel over. Then Christina yelled out "Lightning Slash!" her daggers became electrically charged then she slashed Lamia right in the face knocking her off her feet and screaming in pain. The rangers quickly met up with each other and saw that Hydra still had enough energy to fight.
Hydra struggled to his feet and said "I'm not through yet."
"Alright guys let's bring our weapons together," said Michael. They combined their weapons to form the power blaster.
"Ready, aim, Fire!" a beam of powerful energy fired from the blaster. It was a direct hit at Hydra. There was a great explosion and it looked like he had been destroyed.
Eris was watching the fight from her magic mirror and was not pleased with what she was seeing. "No, I'm not losing again," she said. She then looked to Circe "Circe, do something don't just stand there."
"I can cast a spell to make Hydra stronger," Circe said.
"Then do it," Eris demanded. Circe then focused on the mirror where the image of a dying Hydra showed. She then muttered something in ancient Greek and waved her hand over the mirrors image.
Magic surrounded Hydra's body as he lay on the ground. Then he began to change. He started to grow, becoming taller than a skyscraper. Seven more long necked dragonheads grew out of his body. He became a giant monster. All of Hydra's heads roared once. The looked up at the terrifying sight of the creature.
"Whoa what the hell happened to him?" asked Christina
"Looks like someone give Hydra an overdose of steroids," said Gabe
"We're gonna need help with, time to call on the Zords," said Michael.
"We need Megazord power now!" they all said in unison. The Zords were summoned. When the Zords were in sight the rangers teleported into the cockpits of their own Zord, the rangers were amazed by the advanced technology of these giant robots.
"Wow, this is incredible," said Michael. "Alright guys let's do this, Tyrannosaurus online!"
"Mastodon, powered up!"
"Triceratops, rolling out!"
"Saber tooth tiger, charging through!"
"Pterodactyl, ready to fly!"
"Let's bring them together," said Michael. They combined their zords to form tank mode. They looked and saw that Hydra was stomping through the city, bringing down buildings and causing destruction all over the place. "Fire!" yelled Michael. They fired their lasers and cannons hitting Hydra. "Okay, activate Megazord," said Michael. The Megazord then switched from tank mode to warrior mode, and then faced Hydra ready to fight.
Hydra charged at the Megazord, but the Megazord punched him away. One of Hydra's head bit down on the Megazord's left arm and held it with his sharp teeth. "Summon mega saber!" called out Michael. Then a huge appeared the Megazord's right hand. They used it to cut off the head that was holding the other arm. Two more heads then grew from the wound.
"Stab it in the heart," said Brianna. They powered up the sword, aimed it, and before Hydra could attack again they stabbed him in the chest. He then disintegrated, turning to dust, and disappeared. The rangers then cheered in victory.
Lycan and Lamia were back at the black fortress where Eris was yelling at them in anger. "Never in my thousands of years of existence have I ever seen such incompetence!" she yelled. "You all call yourselves warriors, but you're not, you're useless!"
"We apologize Eris," said Lycan
"Shut up!" said Eris. "Just thank the heavens you didn't end up like Hydra." Eris turned away from them and walked out onto her balcony and stood there looking out into space. "I need to get off this moon; those rangers need to be destroyed."
