Chapter 12: Old Friend, Our Enemy

At Boardman High, there was a large group of students from different schools were practicing for the Summer play, Les Misérables, they were finishing going over the song 'At the End of the Day,'

Women: At the end of the day
She'll be nothing but trouble
And there's trouble for all
When there's trouble for one!
While we're earning our daily bread
She's the one with her hands in the butter
You must send the slut away
Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
And it's us who'll have to pay
At the end of the day!

Foreman: I might have known the bitch could bite
I might have known the cat had claws
I might have guessed your little secret
Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
Who keeps herself so pure and clean
You'd be the cause I had no doubt
Of any trouble hereabout
You play a virgin in the light
But need no urgin' in the night.

Girl: She's been laughing at you
While she's having her men.

Women: She'll be nothing but trouble again and again.

Woman: You must sack her today.

Chorus: Sack the girl today!

Foreman: Right my girl. On your way! "

Okay, that was good everyone," the director, Mullane, said, "Now I want to go over some of the lead parts. And for the rest of you, you can wait outside if you want." Without a second thought everyone who was in the chorus went outside to relax and socialize with each other.


Unknown to them Zedd and Rita was watching of what's going on Earth, "Out all the humans Zordon could have chosen, he had to choose theater performers," Zedd complained as he sat on his throne.

"Oh, stop complaining," Rita said, "Besides if you looked closely the only Rangers who are there are Tyler, Jon, Chris, Emile, and Z."

"And what play are they doing now sis?" Rito asked.

"Something called Les Misérables," Rita replied.

"Never heard of it," Rito said, "How 'bout you Goldar?"

"You expect me to know all these human languages," Goldar stated.

"Well," Finster said as he walked in with a book opened, "'Les Misérables is French for the 'The Miserable Ones.'"

"The Miserable One, sounds like my kind of play," Zedd said as he got off his throne, "Let's help them be miserable by sending in the Tengas."

"Brilliant idea my lord," Goldar said, "As the Rangers fight the Tengas, they will have to worry about everyone else. Then the Tengas could finally beat the Power Rangers."

Rito just looked at Goldar and said, "You're a suck-up, you know that."


Back at Boardman High, Tyler was studying his solo for the opening while everyone else were relaxing or socializing. Out of nowhere Tengas appeared in front of the school, "Of course, no breaks, not even from Zedd and Rita," Tyler sighed.

Some of the student gave out a shriek, getting the attention of everyone inside. Chris was the first one out, "Stupid Tengas," he said. A Tenga run up to the door, but Chris kicked it away, and ran out to join Tyler, Jon, Emile, and Z.

"Come on everyone there's more of us then there are of them!" Tyler shouted.

"Oh humans," a Tenga mocked, "I'm so scared!"

"Dude we can't fight them!" someone shouted.

Before any one can say anything the Tengas charged at them.

They've got a feathered face,
They've got funny beak.

A Tenga tried to punch Tyler, but Tyler blocked the attack and elbowed the Tenga in the chest.

IQ of under 10,
They're loud and noisy!

Chris saw two Tengas chasing a few of his fellow performers and started to chase the Tengas.

They smell like spoiled fish on a hot, hot summer's day.

Chris jumped on them and knocked them into each other.

Cross-eyed crazy nuts who fly above us!

A Tenga tried to attack Z, but Z dodge the attack and threw it off balance.

Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,

Rangers gonna get you!

Emile did a low kick that tripped a Tenga, and punched another Tenga that was charging at him.

Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Tenga bye bye!

"I'm not going to let these guys try to overcome me again,"

Richard said as he tried to punch a Tenga. But the Tenga caught the punch, and tossed Richard to the ground.

Bir-bir-bir-bir-bird brain don't mess with me,

Before the Tenga can kick Richard, Jon punch it away.

'Cuz you ain't got a chance!

"Richard you got to be careful," Jon said as he help Richard back up.

We're gonna send you back to the bird sanctuary!

Tyler was blocking a Tenga's punches and kicks, until Tim put a pail on its head and Dylan hit the pail with a rock.

Where you will spend your days,
Learning to basket weave.

Z got a Tenga in a full nelson where Ryan and Evan punch it in the gut, and Z shove it away.

Don't look now, you better run,
Why don't you just fly away?

Chris was punching the Tengas away, a Tenga was about to sneak up on him but Caleigh tripped it.

Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,

A Tenga took flight and flew over Jon.

Rangers gonna get you!

The Tenga flew directly at Amanda.

Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,

Luckily Daryl pulled her out of the way making it slam into a wall.

Tenga bye bye!

Everyone were now getting an advantage over the Tengas.

Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,

"This is impossible!" a Tenga shouted.

Rangers gonna get you!

"Quick, fly like if your lives depend on it!" another Tenga shouted.

Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,

Then Tengas flew off.

Tenga bye bye!

Everyone was just surprise at what just happened, but they all just ended up going back to the way were leaving the Rangers concerned.


"Those Tengas were worthless!" Zedd shouted.

"We'll need something smarter than a bunch of birds," Rita stated.

"Perhaps I can help, old friend," a new voice said from behind.

"That voice, it can't be," Rita said as she turned around to see a beautiful Asian woman with long raven hair wearing golden scorpion armor, "Scorpina, is that you?"

"Yes Rita, I'm back," Scorpina said.

"Scorpina, where were you?" Rita asked.

"I was hiding in a dark sector that Zordon's purification couldn't reach. So I waited until the day that you'll come back," Scorpina explained.

Zedd let out a laugh, "This is perfect," he said, "With your help we can finally destroy the Power Rangers!"

"I'm glad to know I can serve under you Lord Zedd," Scorpina said.


At the high school, the rehearsal was over, all the performers, who were still a little shocked from the Tenga attack, were leaving for home.

But for the Rangers their Communicators went of signaling that they were needed. Tyler, Jon, Chris, Emile, and Z sneaked off to the empty band room to answer their call, "What is it Zordon?" Tyler asked.

"Rangers teleport to the Command Center, Paige, Haily, and Brittany are waiting for you," Zordon said.

The five of them double checked the hallways to make sure that no one was around, "All clear," Chris said as they teleported out of there.


At the Command Center, the rest of the Rangers arrived,

"'Bout time you guys showed up," Paige jokingly said.

"So what's up?" Emile asked.

"It's terrible, an old enemy of the Power Rangers is back," Alpha said.

"Who?" Hailey asked.

"It's Scorpina, an old ally of Rita," Zordon answered, "Turn to the viewing globe."

The Rangers turned to see old clips of Scorpina, in her human form, fighting the first Power Rangers. The Rangers were surprise to see how well she fought against the old Rangers, "She looks like a powerful enemy," Z pointed out.

"She is," Alpha confirmed, "but that's not all."

Then the viewing globe was now showing a clip of Scorpina growing into a giant scorpion monster, "Just what is she?" Brittany asked.

"She was a dangerous monster, but with Goldar, they made a powerful duo," Zordon explain, "Now she, along with Goldar and Rito, are attacking in Boardman Park." "Understood Zordon," Tyler said.

"This will be a hard battle Ranger, Ninjor will meet in the park," Zordon said, "Good luck and my the Power protect you."

"It's Mophin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

The Rangers appeared in the park with their weapons in hand. Then Scorpina, Goldar, and Rito approaching them, with their swords drawn. They noticed that Scorpina's sword was crescent shape. "So you must be the new Power Rangers," Scorpina said.

"Don't forget Ninjor!" Ninjor shouted as he flew down on a cloud and landed next to the Rangers.

"So your Ninjor, I always wanted to destroy the one who created the Power Coins," Scorpina said.

"Yes Rangers this will the end for you," Goldar said.

"This was a rematch I was waiting for," Rito said.

Then both the Rangers and the monsters charged at each other and engaged into combat.

Chris, Haley, and Z were taking on Rito. Each Ranger were trying to hit Rito with their weapons, but Rito was blocking each attack with his sword. "Come on, is this all the Power Rangers can do!?" Rito shouted.

As Rito swung his sword, and Chris and Z were able to use their weapons to lock Rito's sword to the ground, "How do you think of that?" Z asked as Haley tossed a dagger at Rito knocking him down.

"I call that cheating!" Rito shouted as he got back up and attacked the Rangers making them fly backwards.

Emile, Paige, and Brittany were fighting Goldar.

Goldar was flying over the Rangers, "Just give up Rangers!" Goldar shouted.

"I don't think so, Goldar," Brittany said as she fired an arrow and Emile use his Power Axe as a gun, but the shots missed.

"You'll never beat us!" Goldar shouted as he fired pellets that exploded on Brittany and Emile.

As Goldar was gloating, he didn't notice Paige behind him. Paige lashed her whip which wrapped around Goldar's leg, and with all her might she slammed Goldar to the ground.

Tyler, Jon, and Ninjor were fighting Scorpina, "It this really the power of the new Power Rangers?" Scorpina mocked.

"Don't count us out just yet," Jon said as he fired his guns at Scorpina, but Scorpina deflected the shots.

Then she saw Tyler charging at her with his sword, she smirked as they started to clash their swords. Sparks were flying when Tyler and Scorpina's swords clashed. But Scorpina was able to knock Tyler away,"Let's see if you can handle this," she said as her sword started to glow, then she tossed it at Tyler, Jon, and Ninjor, hitting them, then the sword flew over to Emile, Paige and Brittney, hitting them as well, and it flew and hit Chris, Haley and Z. When the sword returned to Scorpina, the three villain couldn't help but to laugh at the Rangers.


"Yes," Rita laughed, "This is perfect. There's nothing that can make this even better."

"Ah, but I think there is a way my little buttercup," Zedd said. Rita gave him her evil smile knowing what he was talking about.

Rita and Zedd crossed their staffs and shouted, "Make our monsters grow!" lightning shot down and hit Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina making Goldar and Rito grow into giants and Scorpina became a giant scorpion monster.

The Rangers looked up to the horror, until the seven Rangers shouted, "We need the Zords of Light now!"

The Dragon Zord flew from the sky.

The Phoenix Zord flew out of a volcano.

The Lion Zord ran out of the plains.

The Serpent Zord emerged from the earth.

The Frog Zord hopped out of the swamp.

The Turtle Zord emerged from the ocean and walked on land.

The Saber-Toothed Tiger Zord Ran out of the jungle.

"Come Ark, Ship of Darkness!"

Ark flew in from space.

The Rangers teleported to their cockpit of their Zords.

The Dragon Zord's wings and arms started to fold in, as well as the Frog Zord's legs. And they connected with each other.

The Lion and Saber-Toothed Tiger Zords started to fold down as bars to connect to the Frog Zord appears at the ends and connected with the Frog Zord.

The Turtle Zord's head ducked into the shell as its legs became arms and in flew down on the Dragon Zord.

Then the Serpent Zord wrapped itself around the Megazord's waist.

Then the Phoenix Zord flew from behind opens up to form the head and lands on top.

"Megazord online!" the Rangers shouted as the Megazord came to life.

"Ark, activate Warrior Mode!" Z shouted as he inserted the Shadow Saber into the control.

The Ark started to transform, the propellers folded up and folded into the ship. Then part of the ship folded open to form the arms and legs. Then the dragon head folded down 90 degrees, and the Zord's head took its place. "Warrior Mode online!"

Ninjor then used his powers to grow into a giant.

"You think you can beat us with your toys," Scorpina screeched.

"Well if the old Rangers were able to stop you, then so can we," Tyler said.

"The thing you're lacking from the old Rangers, are skills," Rito said as he pulled out a flamethrower and fired it at the heroes.

Then Goldar and Scorpina crossed their swords and lightning were fired at the heroes.

"You say we have no skill, yet you're the ones cheating. You're makes me furious!" Ninjor shouted as his appearance turned more into a samurai. Ninjor drew out his sword as it started to glow, then he to do multiple slashes that hit the three villains.

"Hey Z, let's finish this with the Armored Megazord," Tyler suggested.

"Way ahead of you," Z said, "Ark, Armorzation!"

The Ark broke into different pieces and flew to the Megazord, where it became armor for the Megazord. Then the Armored Megazord had two swords.

"So you have two sword now, you can never win!" Scorpina shouted as she, with Golar and Rito charged at Armored Megazord.

The Armored Megazord crossed its arms with its swords glowing gold and purple.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Then the Armored Megazord slashed its swords that made a X-beam that hit the villains.

Go Go Power Rangers!

The villains were knocked to the ground, "You're just lucky!" Scorpina shouted, "We'll meet again!" Then Scorpina, Goldar, and Rito disappeared.

Go Go Power Rangers!

You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!


On the moon, Scorpina, Goldar, and Rito came back to a very angry Rita, "How could you failed, you had them in your hands?!" she shouted.

"Forgive me Rita, I promise to try harder next time," Scopina plead.

"I believe you," Zedd said, "It's just those two nitwits that who always fail."


The next day at the Les Mis rehearsal, Tyler, Jon, Chris, Emile, and Z came in where some of their friends were discussing on what happened yesterday, "After what happen, I hope it will be safe to practice," Tim said.

"I wouldn't worry," Chris said.

"Why?" Daryl asked.

"If you notice, Lord Zedd and Rita don't repeat their plans," Emile said, "It seems that they wanted to use us to lure out the Power Rangers, but we beaten the Tengas."

"So we don't have to worry about them until Zedd and Rita come up with a new plan," Tyler finished as Mullane came and everyone got ready to practice.


A/N: I hope you guys like the idea of the return of Scorpina.
