Chapter 13: Swarming Illness

At the mall in Boardman, Paige was waiting for her friends. Paige noticed something as she wonders the mall, 'Is it me, or are there actual tourist here?' she thought. As she walked on she noticed a crowd of people surrounding something. Paige curiosity got to her so went over to see what's going on.

As she got close she saw a board with different blurred pictures where at the top read 'Pictures of the Power Rangers' and a man in his mid-thirties was in front of it, "As you all know this town has become a hotspot for the Power Rangers lately," the man said, "And today I'm starting a contest for you Power Rangers lovers. Starting today I'm offer 100 dollars for every Power Rangers photo when they are in action."

The man went on to explain on what to do until people left to get pictures of the Power Rangers in action, but Paige stayed to talk to the man, "Excuse me sir..." Paige started.

"Call me Brad," the man said.

"Okay Brad, what are you doing?" Paige asked.

"What do you think," Brad started, "Since tourist started to come here. I thought we should find a way for them to keep coming."

"But do you understand that you can put people in danger by doing that," Paige pointed.

"How are they going be in danger, while the Power Rangers are around," Brad replied.

"What happens if they can't?" Paige asked.

"Then they can't protect the people?" Paige asked.

"Then the Power Rangers should be blamed," Brad replied.

Paige couldn't believe of what Brad said, "If something does happen to those people, I'll tell the Power Rangers that it's your fault." With that Paige left.

"Like she can get in touch with the Power Rangers," Brad said under his breath.

On the moon Zedd was looking down at Earth "So those Power Rangers are getting quite popular."

"Maybe it's what you keep doing with the Power Rangers," Rito pointed out.

"Shut up, no one asked you!" Zedd shouted. Then Zedd noticed that something was missing, "Where is my wife?"

"Rita? She's still in bed, she did say she was feeling ill," Rito replied. Then the next Rito knows he was hit by Zedd's staff, "OW! what was that for!?"

"For not telling sooner," Zedd said, "Now get out of my way, I need to see my wife." Zedd soon made his way to a large bedroom with a large bed with red covers and it also has a view of Earth it was the master bedroom and Rita was laying in bed. "Oh my, are alright my little buttercup?"

"No," Rita replied in a moaning voice, "My head is so stuffed up that I can't think straight."

"Don't worry, I'll stay by your side until you get better," Zedd said.

"But what about the Power Rangers?" Rita asked.

"You're right, we need a monster to destroy the Power Rangers," Zedd said as he got his Z-staff ready, "And I got the perfect monster. Arise Sick-Sting!" Lightning fired from his staff and hit the ground on Earth, making an explosion. When the smoke cleared a large bee monster with a giant needle for a nose appeared.

"That will take care of the Power Rangers," Zedd said, "Goldar!"

Soon Goldar entered the room, "What do you want my Lord?" he asked.

"I'll be staying here with my wife, so I want you to keep an eye on Sick-Sting," Zedd instructed, "And tell Finster to find a cure to Rita's illness."

"As you wish my Lord," Goldar said.

Back at the mall, Paige finally saw her friends at the food court. She was about to walk over to meet them, but Communicator went off. Paige quickly covered it and rushed to a bathroom that was empty, "Go ahead Zordon," she said.

"Paige come to Command Center at once," Zordon said.

Paige looked around to make sure that no one was around, then she teleported away.

At the Command Center, Paige, Brittany, and Haley arrived. Ayeyaiyai! Rangers thank goodness you're here," Alpha said.

"What's going on?" Brittany asked.

"Rangers, Zedd had unleashed a terrible monster," Zordon explained.

"Terrible as in how?" Haley asked.

"Behold the viewing globe," Zordon said as the three Rangers turned to the viewing globe to see Sick-Sting terrorizing people in the park, "Rangers this is Sick-Sting. This monster has the ability to spread toxic germs by using its wings that can make anyone sick from breathing it in."

"This monster needs to be stop as soon as possible," Alpha said, "Your Power Suits will protect you. Zordon and I will get in contact with the other Rangers as soon as possible. And we are going to find a way to cure this disease."

"Okay Alpha," Haley said, "It's Morphin time!"

"Phoenix!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

The three Rangers arrived at the park where Sick-Sting was, "Ah Rangers you came," it said.

"You should just give up Sick-Sting," Paige suggested, "You know what happened to rest of Zedd and Rita's monsters."

"Don't judge a book by its cover, Sick-Sting said as it started to fly, "Putties attack!"

Putties then appeared and they had the three Rangers surrounded. "Great something we didn't need," Brittany said.

"Come on girls let's get them!" Haley shouted as the charged at the Putties.

A Putty was getting ready to attack Haley, but she slid on the ground knocking the Putty over.

Tick tock, tick tock
You're runnin' out of time

Paige flipped over a Putty and kick it to the ground making it fall on its Z Emblem and destroying it.

No time to stop
'Cause they are close behind

Brittany grabbed a Putty by its arm and started kicking the Putty in its chest till it was destroyed.

When they come knock
They better know it's time

Soon a Putty grabbed Brittany from behind.

I've got the lock

As she tried to break free she saw a Putty running towards her.

To keep them all in line

Brittany broke free and put the Putty in the way of the attack.

Well you can run and you can hide

Haley jumped into the air and did a split kick that destroyed two Putties.

When the evil's got you in sight

Paige was able to pick up a Putty that was charging at her and tossed it at other Putties.

C-C-C-Combat

Now half of the Putties were destroyed.

Yeah!

C-C-C-Combat

"We're going to say this again, just give up Sick-Sting," Paige said.

"Yeah right Rangers, why should I give up when I can do this," Sick-Sting said as its needle nose started to glow and small beams fired at the Rangers, hitting them and knocking them down.

"Come on we cannot let this monster win," Haley said. the other two nodded in agreement as they got up and got out their Power Weapons.

The three Rangers charge at Sick-Sting, but Sick Sting laughed and said, "Is this all you got?!" Sick-Sting blocked each Rangers attack and countered them and knocked them down.

"Ayeyaiyai! They're standing no chance against Sick-Sting!" Alpha said.

"Alpha, get in contact with the other Rangers, their rehearsal should be over by now," Zordon said.

"I'm on it," Alpha said as he pressed a few buttons.

Soon Tyler answered the call, "What is it?"

"Rangers, Haley, Paige, and Brittany are confronting Zedd's new monster in the park," Zordon explained.

Don't need to tell us twice," Tyler said, "It's Morphin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Frog!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

Back at the park, Sick Sting was laughing at the fallen Rangers. "Hey ugly!" Sick-Sting turned around and got blasted by Jon's Power Guns.

Emile and Chris jumped into the air and strike Sick-Sting with their weapons, knocking it back. Then Tyler and Z charged at Sick-Sting and stabbed them with their swords, knocking it down.

The Rangers ran over to their fallen friends, "Are you alright?" Chris asked.

"Yeah we're okay," Haley replied.

"Okay then, let's bring them together and stop this monster," Tyler said.

"Right," the others agree.

"Power Axe!" Emile tossed his axe in the air.

"Power Bow!" Brittany tossed her bow and it became one with the Power Axe.

"Power Whip!" Paige tossed her whip and it attached to the bottom of the Power Axe

Go Go Power Rangers!

"Power Lance!" Chris broke his lance into two smaller ones that attached to the bottom of the Power Bow.

"Power Daggers!" Haley tossed the Dagger that attached next the Power Lance.

Go Go Power Rangers!

"Power Guns!" Jon tossed his guns and they attached to the top of the Power Bow.

"Power Sword!" Tyler jumped up and grabbed the blaster and placed his sword on the top. When he landed the other Ranger lined up by his side

Go Go Power Rangers!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

The Rangers were about to fire, until Alpha interrupted them, "Rangers stop! Don't fire!"

"What is it Alpha?" Tyler asked.

"Quick come to the Command Center," Alpha said.

The Rangers did what Alpha said and teleported back to the Command Center.

Back on the moon, Goldar was pleased with what was going on, "Yes, finally a monster that the Rangers can't destroy!"

"With Sick-Sting's illness, the Rangers can never destroy it," Scorpina stated.

Soon Goldar noticed Finster passing, "Finster did you find the cure to Rita's illness?"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't just yet. But I'll keep on looking," Finster replied as he went off to find Rita's cure.

"Alpha, why did you call us back?" Jon asked.

"Well Rangers, it's because I found the cure to the illness that Sick-Sting is spreading..." Alpha started.

"And?" Z asked.

"It's Sick-Sting's needle nose," Alpha finished.

"Are you serious?!" Emile asked.

"Yes we need Sick-Stings needle nose to make," Alpha explained, "And we need the needle nose intact, so we can't cut it off with a sword."

"So what should we do?" Tyler asked.

"Right now I'm working on a device that will stun Sick-Sting giving me enough time to remove the needle nose," Alpha explained.

Chris took a look at the device and said, "Alpha I think I should be able to help you with this."

"If you can help Alpha Chris, then the rest of us will keep Sick-Sting at bay," Paige said.

The other Rangers agreed to the plan and teleported away leaving Chris and Alpha to work on the device.

Back at the park, the Ranger arrived just in time before Sick-Sting took off to spread the toxic germ on Earth. "So you Rangers are back for round 2!?" Sick-Sting shouted.

"Yeah, and we're going to take you out for good," Tyler said.

"Don't count on it," Sick-Sting shouted as its needle nose started to glow and small beams fired at the Rangers, but the Rangers dodged the attack by jumping to the sides.

When Paige and Emile landed, they jumped into the air and tried to kick the monster. Sick-Sting dodge the attack and punch the two Rangers away.

Unknown to Sick-Sting, Tyler and Jon got behind it and punched it in the back. Then Z, Haley, and Brittany kicked Sick-Sting in the face.

"You'll pay for that!" Sick-Sting shouted.

"We'll see about that!" a voice said. Sick-Sting turned to see Chris and Alpha with the device.

"What are you going to do with that?" Sick-Sting asked.

"This." Chris said as he and Alpha fired a beam at Sick-Sting, freezing it in place.

"Alright Alpha it worked," Chris said.

"Okay, now I need a few minutes to remove the needle nose," Alpha said.

Then out of nowhere Goldar and Scorpina appeared. "Alpha, that's something we don't have Alpha," Tyler stated. As the two monsters got closer Tyler said, "Quick Chris, Z defend Alpha, we'll take care of these two."

The Rangers got their Power Weapons ready and charged at Goldar and Scorpina.

"Pitiful," Scorpina said as she tossed her sword at the Rangers, knocking them down.

The Ranger just got back up and started to engage in a fight with Goldar and Scorpina.

"Come on Alpha, I don't think they can hold them off any longer," Z said.

"Almost done," Alpha said. Then Alpha pulled the needle nose off, "Got it! Now I just have to make this into the antidote." Then Alpha teleported away.

Soon Sick-Sting started to move again, "AHHHHHHHH! MY NOSE!" This caused everyone to turn to see Sick-Sting in pain. "Ow! Ow! Why did this happen?!"

"Looks like your monster is done for," Jon said.

"You may of won this but we'll be back," Goldar said as he and Scorpina teleported away.

"Now let's take care of Sick-Sting," Tyler said.

"Right!" the other Rangers agreed as they pulled out the Power Blaster.

"Stop this pain!" Sick-Sting shouted.

"Power Rangers fire!" they shouted as they fired seven beams in their seven colors at the Sick-Sting.

Go Go Power Rangers!

The beam hit Sick-Sting head on.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Sick-Sting screamed as it fell to the ground and exploded.

Go Go Power Rangers!

You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

After a few minutes after the monster was destroyed, Alpha came back with a small rocket. "Okay the antidote is ready to get rid of those toxic germs," Alpha said.

"Alpha, are you sure that little rocket can cure all of Boardman?" Brittany asked.

"Just wait and see Brittany," Alpha said as he pressed a button that fired the rocket. Once it was high enough, it created a force field that surrounded the township. Then a blue mist filled the air in the force field. "There, in 30 minutes the mist would get rid of Sick-Sting's germs once and for all."

"Thanks Alpha," Paige said.

"It was nothing," Alpha said as he teleported away.

Back on the moon in Zedd and Rita's master bedroom, Zedd was comforting his wife. "Oh Zedd, what if Finster can't find a cure?" Rita asked.

"Don't say that," Zedd said, "I promise that we'll find a cure for your sickness."

Soon Goldar, hesitantly, walked into the master bedroom. "Sorry to interrupt you my Lord, but…"

"Goldar you better have bring me some good," Zedd said getting his staff ready.

"I'm sorry my Lord, but the Power Rangers destroyed Sick-Sting and they also found the cure," Goldar said.

"What?!" Zedd shouted as he stood up and face Goldar, "I just knew you would fail me! Get out of my sight!"

"Forgive me my Lord," Goldar said as he left.

Soon Finster came into the master bedroom and said, "Rita I got good news for you."

"What?" Rita asked.

"I ran some test and found out that you caught a cold," Finster answered, "You just need to rest and drink plenty of fluids."

"What!? You mean this whole time I just caught a cold!?" Rita shouted.

At the mall, Paige finally caught up to her friends, "Hey sorry for being late," Paige said.

"That's alright, we heard that there was a monster on the lose," one of Paige's friend said.

Then they went to different stores to check out different stuff. They were talking until one of them said, "Hey guys, have you heard that they're making a Power Rangers movie."

"Really?" Paige asked.

"Yeah, I saw a trailer of it yesterday," Paige's friend replied.

Paige couldn't help but to smile at the news, 'Wait until I tell the others.'

A/N: I like to thank TeamRocketDiva for her monster idea Sick-Sting. I hope the rest of you with ideas for monster will also submit an idea.
