A/N: The evil Ranger part of the story continues. I am warning readers right now, this is a prelude of what is about to happen to Conner. I put content like this in my stories much less these days for personal reasons, but this is very necessary for the story to continue. In fact, some of the things that will happen to Conner may scar him for a long time to come.

A/N 2: I own nothing. Power Rangers once belonged to Saban, then they went to Disney, now they belong to Saban again.

Chapter 22 – Red With Evil II

Loyola Marymount University

Los Angeles, CA

Fully morphed, Conner and Kira pushed the door open and when they stepped outside, they began to size up their two opponents, and also saw that Dischordia and Croonia had brought reinforcements with them in the form of Tengas.

"All right you two, your singing careers are going to end right now, you understand me?" Kira snapped as she pointed a finger at Dischordia. "Go back to the 90s and try to rock out there because you're not welcome here. While you're at it, take those ugly bird brains with you too."

"Newsflash, Yellow Ranger, I'll rock out when and where I want to. And as for the Tengas, come on, they just want to have a little fun. Get em, boys," Dischordia said as the Tengas charged forward.

"Time to get serious," Conner said as his weapon materialized. "Tyranno Staff!"

"Agreed. Ptera Grips!" Kira summoned as her weapons appeared as well.

Kira immediately found herself surrounded by three of the Tengas, but Conner was quick to meet his girlfriend's challenge.

"Back off bird-brains," Conner said as he employed his super speed to run through the purple birds like a hot knife through butter, slicing them with his staff along the way.

Conner and Kira held their own for a while, but for every two Tengas they defeated, four more would show up in their place.

"This is getting ANNOYING!" Kira said as she released her Ptera Scream once again, which released her from a group of about five and forced the Tengas to regroup, giving Conner and Kira some much needed time.

"Watch it you wannabe one hit wonder, that hurt Mom and I's ears!" Croonia complained after she uncovered her ears.

Kira would have responded but she started to get nervous as the Tengas regained their bearings and started to surround the two of them again. That was when some very welcome voices reached their ears.

"Tricera Shield!"

"Brachio Staff!"

"Drago Sword!"

The three other Dino Rangers wasted no time beating on the Tengas, while Selena rushed to Conner and Kira's side.

"You two OK?" Selena asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you guys. We were starting to get overwhelmed," Kira said. "Thanks for the backup."

"Good. You two go take care of the awful duet over there, the rest of us will handle the bird brains," Selena said.

"Right. This duet's concert's about to get cancelled," Kira said.

"Time to take it up a notch," Conner added as he and his girlfriend faced Dischordia and Croonia. "Super Dino Mode!"

Instantly, the transformation on the two Rangers began, as their armor gained spikes, their power levels increased and Kira gained a pair of wings in the process.

"Nice transformation," Dischordia said as her voice raised several octaves. "Too bad it won't do you any good."

That said she and her daughter charged up their daggers and sent flaming attacks at the two Rangers, which they easily dodged; Kira then suddenly took to the air, hurtled towards Dischordia and started beating on her repeatedly.

"Get your grubby hands off me you one hit wonder!" Dischordia screeched in desperation, as she looked over at her daughter; unfortunately, she was having her own problems with Conner as Conner used his super speed to his advantage, outquicking Croonia at every turn. Finally, one last spin kick sent Croonia tumbling to the ground.

Meanwhile, Kira continued beating on Dischordia, until finally she threw her into a side bench which sent Dischordia crumpling to the ground. Furthering Dischordia's problems was the fact that she'd landed right in a ray of sunlight which caused her to complain immediately as her daughter rushed to her aid. Meanwhile, the Rangers regrouped around Conner.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" David said, as he looked at Conner. "Impressive show, by the way. Dischordia was very tough back in the day. She doesn't look so tough now and neither does her daughter."

"Thanks, and if you're thinking Triassic time, then I agree; let's put these two losers out of their misery," Conner said as Conner, Kira and Ethan got set.

Adrianna Repulsa's Palace

M-51 Galaxy

As she watched the battle, Adrianna face palmed to herself. She really should have thought this battle through better.

She'd seen it so many times; a straightforward attack was all too predictable and the fact that the Red brat had been having nightmares had put the other Power Brats on high alert.

It was time to raise the stakes, she though to herself. There wasn't much time, especially if that Red brat went Triassic power.

She then raised her snake staff and it began charging with evil venom.

"Let's see how they like these two in the big time. Make my monsters GROW!" she shouted as the venom hurtled towards Earth.

Before the Rangers could help Conner activate Triassic mode, they could hear a loud cackle as Dischordia and Croonia suddenly gained 50 stories.

"Damn, there goes that idea," Ethan said.

"Hayley we need the Zords now!" Conner said. "And get us out of here, to a more secluded place."

"Conner, I am teleporting all of you to Reefside Beach so that no one gets hurt. I am sending the Zords to meet you there, and I am sending the Ninja Mega Falconzord to meet you there as well. May the Power protect you," Zordon said.

"Thanks, Zordon. Let's go guys!" Conner said as they, followed by the monsters, were teleported out.

The second they landed on Reefside Beach, Dischordia and Croonia's moods immediately turned sour.

"What is the meaning of this?" Dischordia whined. "That's not fair, we wanted to cause damage!"

"Too bad, so sad, Dischordia. Your concert's gonna get canceled, permanently," Conner said as the Dino Rangers heard the Brachiozord release their Zords. "Let's go guys!"

"White Ninjetti Tigerzord power, now!" Selena summoned as she saw the Dino Rangers leap into their cockpits and begin their Megazord transformations.

In the next moment a greenish invisiportal opened up and the Tigerzord, fully rebuilt, leapt through it. Only it wasn't the Tigerzord that the Thunder Rangers remembered; this one had cannons on both shoulders in its tiger mode and its warrior mode had additional weapons too.

"Let's go!" she said as she leapt into the Tigerzord. "Warrior Mode!" she shouted and the Zord immediately began its transformation. Unlike Tommy who needed Saba to transform the Zord, Selena only needed her Ninjetti link to transform it. As soon as Warrior Mode was activated, the ends of the Tigerzord's hands became claws.

Tiger claws.

"Tigerzord, battle ready!" Selena said.

"Thundersaurus Megazord, online," Conner said. "Cephalazord! Dimetrozord!"

"Dino Stegazord, battle ready," Trent said.

"Ooooh, they've got new toys too, I think I'm shaking, mother," Croonia said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"I kicked their ass against two Zords and Ninjor 10 years ago, so two on three should be a piece of cake," Dischordia said, as she raised her arms outwards and the sky suddenly darkened around the Rangers.

"What is that?" Conner said.

"Just Dischordia thinking she's making things fair," Selena said. "She hates bright light. We can do this."

"Attack!" Dischordia said as she charged the Thundersaurus Megazord while Trent and his girlfriend engaged Croonia.

Dischordia was getting ready for a swing on the Thundersaurus Megazord when she was suddenly barreled into from the side, knocking her down briefly. Glaring off to the side, she found the Ninja Mega-Falconzord standing over her, with the six Rangers inside glaring at her.

"Ha, thought you could sneak past us didn't you?" Tommy said. "Wrong, Dischordia, we beat you once and we'll beat you again."

"How did you find me, Falcon boy?" Dischordia hissed angrily. "Either way, now you've made me MAD!"

That said, her eyes began to glow a deep shade of red and she launched a powerful blast of energy, causing the Ninjazords to blow up in a series of sparks.

"Man, we can't take another blast like that!" Kim said.

"She took out like 20 percent of our power with that blast! Watch out!" Aisha said as her eyes began to glow red again.

"Gotcha covered!" Conner said. "She's good but she doesn't have eyes in the back of her head. Dimetro Saw Blade!"

Dischordia was preparing to fire on the Ninjazords again and never saw the attack coming; the saw blade arm of the Dino Rangers' Megazord rammed into her back as she was releasing her blast which caused the blast itself to careen harmlessly out of the way.

"And just for good measure, Cephala Power Punch!" Conner said; Dischordia was just getting back to her feet and had no time to defend herself before the powerful punch smashed into her face sending her careening to the ground; she happened to collide with her daughter who had just been slashed by the Tigerzord's claws.

"You two had enough yet?" Tommy said.

"Hardly; the game's just getting started, White Ranger. Now it's our turn," Croonia said as her hands began to glow with energy.

"I don't like how calm she is guys," Tommy said. "Be ready for anything."

"Be ready for this," Croonia said as she launched three separate lightning bolts at the Ninjazords and Trent and Selena's Zords; the Rangers tried to activate Super Dino Mode and the Metallic Armor but it was a split second too late; the bolts wrapped around the Zords encasing them in three separate energy fields.

"I've lost control! We can't break free!" Tommy said.

"Me too! We're just sitting ducks!" Selena cried.

"I've lost control too!" Trent said. The Thundersaurus Megazord leapt to help them but was suddenly cut off by Dischordia who began engaging them.

"Now, try this on for size," Croonia said as she launched a flaming attack from her dagger at the three trapped Zords. The attack completely drained the Zords of their ability to fight as they all fell harmlessly to the sand, the Rangers ejected from the cockpits in the process.

The Rangers rushed to their fallen Zords and watched helplessly as the energy fields had them trapped. They had become more than worried that this was another Thunder Megazord/Rito situation.

"Zordon, Hayley please tell me you are working on getting the Zords out of there!" Tommy said.

"Almost got it...got them. Force field should be gone," Hayley said as suddenly the force fields disappeared and the Zords with them.

"We better get back, guys. There's nothing we can do. It's all up to Conner, Ethan and Kira now," Tommy said as the Ninja Rangers teleported back to the lair, while Trent and Selena, sadly, teleported back to New York.

Conner meanwhile suddenly looked around and saw that his team was all alone.

"What did you do to our Zords?" Conner snapped.

"Just took them out of the game so that it's you and us, Tyranno boy," Dischordia snapped. "As I said in the beginning, Adrianna wishes to have an audience with you and she will get it!"

"Not if we have anything to say about it. We're not done yet," Conner replied as he looked at his teammates. "Triassic Power!"

Once Conner was in Triassic mode, Conner teleported out of the Thundersaurus and prepared to unleash his own weapon.

"Triassic Rover!" Conner ordered and once the Rover came in site Conner jumped in the cockpit. "Shield of Triumph, full power! Mezodon Megazord transformation!"

The transformation came none too soon because Croonia and Dischordia were backing the Thundersaurus into a corner, until the Mezodon Megazord swung its blades and slashed both of them, knocking them back.

"How many damn Zords do you have!" Croonia whined as she stomped her foot impatiently.

"As many as it takes to defeat the both of you," Conner said. "Let's get em guys!"

"Right!" Kira said. "Dimetro Saw Blade!"

The left arm of the Thundersaurus Megazord began spinning as the blade tried to slash through Croonia, but much to the Rangers' horror, Croonia slashed the drill with her dagger, causing the left arm Dimetro to fall off the Zord.

"No WAY!" Ethan said. "That almost NEVER happens!"

Kira looked over across the battlefield and groaned; for all of Conner's efforts, Dischordia was beginning to turn the tables and was getting the upper hand.

"Now I'm really angry," Kira said. "Ptera Rang!"

Immediately, Kira unleashed her Ptera Zord attack, but that too went awry because right as the attack reached Croonia, Croonia swatted it back at the Megazord, hitting the Megazord with a shower of sparks.

"This is not good! One more hit and we're finished!" Kira said.

Dischordia then looked at Croonia and they both nodded as if to say, 'this is it.'

"Say goodbye to your Zords, Rangers," Croonia cackled as she and Dischordia charged their weapons, sending a massive flaming attack at the two Zords. Much as the Zords tried to move, they were sitting ducks and could not move in time. There was a massive fireball and then a shower of sparks, as the two Megazords went down hopelessly.

"We're totally sunk! Abandon ship!" Kira said as all the Rangers were flung from their Megazords and they landed on the sand. Tears in their eyes, they hopelessly watched their Zords be teleported back to the lair for repairs.

"Man, what are we gonna do NOW?" Ethan said. "We got totally trashed out there!"

"Haven't you learned by now? There is NOTHING you can do, Rangers," Dischordia said with glee. "Red Ranger, why don't you give it up and come with me now?"

"I don't think so!" Conner said as the three charged.

Dischordia just shook her head as she and her daughter launched their simultaneous sound wave blasts, but they weren't directed at Conner. They were directed at Kira and Ethan, who were directly hit and were forced into the two singing divas' hypnotic spells.

"What have you done to them!" Conner said.

"Just making them dance to my tune, is all," Dischordia said. "The sad thing is, it can all be avoided if you surrender to us...now."

Conner suddenly had a decision to make...and after a few minutes, he knew exactly what the right thing to do was.

"You let them go if I come with?" Conner said.

"Absolutely," Croonia said as Conner saw Kira hopelessly dancing like an idiot.

"We have a deal," Conner said.

"Croonia release them now," Dischordia ordered as the two Dino Rangers were released and Kira came to her bearings.

Before the two girls could grab him, Conner quickly unclipped his morpher and Dino Gem, causing him to demorph instantly.

"Kira, catch!" he shouted as he threw both items at his girlfriend, who caught them easily.

"Conner you can't!" she shouted back.

"I'll be fine. That gem cannot fall into the hands of evil," Conner said. "Take it and go. You'll need all the firepower we can get for what's coming next."

"Conner, I love you," Kira said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"I love you too, Rockstar, but this is what's best. Go!" Conner said right as Dischordia grabbed him.

As he was grabbed by Dischordia, Conner breathed a sigh of relief as Ethan and Kira were teleported out.

"Enjoy those last moments with your blonde tart, Red Ranger, because they're the last you'll ever see," Dischordia said as she laughed maniacally. Seconds later, the two girls teleported out with their prisoner.

Adrianna Repulsa's Palace

M-51 Galaxy

"Excellent work, girls, on all fronts," Adrianna said as Dischordia and Croonia dragged a tightly-bound Conner into her throne room. "I am most impressed. Not only did you gain our target, you defeated their Zords soundly."

"Thank you, darling sister-in-law," Dischordia said. "I can't wait to finish those Ninja Geeks once and for all!"

"If I didn't have a job to do with...him, I'd plan to destroy them right now," Adrianna said. "Alas..."

"Go take him to my room and go rest, you two. You have earned it," Adrianna said, and then looked at Conner. "He's not going to whine like all those super-heroes do?"

"Maybe he will later, but not now. We knocked him out temporarily with a sedative so we wouldn't have to deal with his whining," Croonia said.

"Excellent. Like I said, take him to my room, then go rest."

"Thank you, Adrianna," Dischordia said. "You heard her, let's go."

Several Hours Later

As the sedative he had been given wore off, Conner looked around and knew immediately that he was in trouble. Big trouble.

The room was dark, lit with candles and extensively creepy. He knew right then that he had to be some place in this "hellpit" as Wes had described it. He tried to move his arms and found he couldn't. He was bound extremely tightly, to some sort of bed post; could not move at all. Whoever had tied him up (probably Dischordia and that other singing freak) had done a pretty good job he had to admit.

He also found he was completely naked; had every last strip of clothing taken off him.

A lump formed at the bottom of his stomach.

Sighing, he stopped struggling and laid his head back down. Until...

"Finding your surroundings comfortable, Powerless Ranger?" a sweet, sultry voice echoed throughout the room.

Conner groaned as Adrianna walked into the room clothed in a silver floor length robe. She'd also lost the snakes in her hair for some reason, at least temporarily; they were replaced by a mass of ebony black hair that cascaded halfway down her back.

"Oh I take it you were expecting your blonde girlfriend to come and save you?" she said. "I don't think so, sugar. They can't find you here; I've made sure of it."

"Not to worry though. What's about to happen is something you will never forget...and neither will I," she said as she dropped her robe, leaving her completely naked and Conner felt sick inwardly as she climbed into the bed. His erection was already pulsating, and he knew she could see it too. He was completely vulnerable and powerless to stop what was about to happen, and at that moment, the thought that was going through his head involved seven words.

'Kira. I love you. Please forgive me.'

His thought would not go unheard, even as Adrianna's eyes began to flash a dazzling silver and she said, "Look at me, Conner."

Conner could not look away much as he tried, and soon he became lost in her gaze and his world began to spin out of control, even as she reached for his erection...
