Chapter 14: Human Sins
On the Earth's moon, Zedd and Rita were trying to figure out how to defeat the Power Rangers, "What kind of monster can we use to destroy the Power Rangers for good?" Zedd said.
"I don't know Zeddy...ACHOO!... Finster has no good monsters at the moment," Rita said.
"My dear are you sure that you should be out of bed with that cold?" Zedd asked.
"Don't worry I'll be okay," Rita said as she blew in a tissue paper.
"Well let's see if there is anything good to use as a monster," Zedd said as he look towards Earth. He looked everywhere to find something to be his new monster yet when he saw a robbery in Youngstown. "Humans, they're just greedy creatures who should not exist."
"You don't have to tell me twice," Rita said as she let out another sneeze.
Zedd then started to think, "That's it!"
"What?" Rita asked.
"We need a monster that can use the human's greed against them," Zedd explain, "Not even the Power Rangers can avoid greed."
"That's perfect Zedd." Zedd and Rita turned to see the dark figure known as Darkseid, "Humans are greedy creatures that will do anything to get what they want."
"So do you have a monster for us to use?" Zedd asked.
"Yes," Darkseid said as a card appear in Zedd's hand, "This demon will focus on two of the deadly sins, gluttony and greed. I even came close to winning thanks to this demon."
"Then how did it lose?" Rita asked.
"Because the Rangers who fought Mephiles and myself were from five different planets who came to Earth to defend it," Darkseid explained, "Now that the Rangers are humans it should be an easy victory."
The next day in Youngstown, it was a day off for the performers of Les Misérables, so Z and Emile decided to decided to hang out with their other friends Tom and Caleb. They were wondering around the streets until Caleb said, "Hey guys, I'm starting to get hungry."
"Seriously," Emile started, "We just started walking."
"Well excuses me for not being able to eat this morning," Caleb argued.
"Fine we'll find a place to eat," Z said.
The four teens wonder around the streets until Tom noticed a pizza parlor call 'Ed's Pizza.' "Hey guys, has that pizza parlor always been there?" he asked.
The other three noticed it as well, "Must of just opened," Emile pointed out.
"Either way, we can get something to eat," Caleb said as he started to walk over to the pizza parlor.
Emile, Z, and Tom let out a sigh and followed Caleb. As they got closer, they noticed that the parlor's windows were of those one way mirrors. The four teens entered the parlor to that they were the only ones there. Soon out of nowhere an Asian woman in the parlor's uniform was in front of them, "Welcome, table for four?"
"Yeah," Caleb answered.
The woman took them to a table in the center of the parlor and set them down. "Would you like something to drink?" she asked as they looked inside the menu.
The teens ordered their drinks and the woman went into the kitchen. In the kitchen There was a creature that was all black along with matching metal breast plate, shoulder pads, and gauntlets. And it had a pale white male face. "Well it seems like the Green and Shadow Rangers came like you predicted, Greedy-Guts" the woman said.
"I know Scorpina, they are human," Greedy-Guts said in low a whisper.
"What?" Scorpina asked.
Greedy-Guts walked up to Scorpina and said, "I said, 'I know.' Now get their orders."
Scorpina grabbed the drinks and went back to the four teens, "Ready to order?" she asked.
Scorpina got the order and went back to the kitchen, "So?" Greedy-Guts asked in a whisper.
"Yes here it is," Scorpina said as she handed the order to Greedy-Guts. Soon there was a glow on the table, where the pizza that was ordered. "Do you think the Rangers will get suspicious?"
"They might," Greedy-Guts whispered, "But once they get a bite out of this they cannot resist it and would keep wanting more. They eat and eat until they become 'ripe' enough to eat."
"What do you mean?" Scorpina asked.
"You'll see," Greedy-Guts whispered, "For now, I'm going to leave you in charge while I go look for the other Rangers. I'll leave you with a lot of pizzas for you to keep feeding the Rangers or any other humans that comes in." With that Greedy-Guts left Scorpina with a lot a pizzas in the kitchen.
Scorpina let out a sigh and took the pizza that was ordered to the two Rangers and their friends. Soon she noticed more people coming in, she followed Greedy-Guts instructions and took them to a table and got their order. On the way back she noticed that the Rangers and their friends look pudgier, 'Now I see,' she thought.
In Boardman Park Jon and Brittany were with Julian and Richard. Unknown to them Greedy-Guts was watching them from a distance. "Okay Rangers, it's time to watch go at each others throats," he whispered. Soon a small gold nugget appeared in Greedy-Guts, then he tossed it at the group.
Jon felt something hit the back of his head. He turned around to what hit him. He then noticed the gold nugget on the ground, "What's this?" Jon said as he picked it up and showed it to the others.
"It looks likes gold," Richard stated.
All four of them were hypnotized by the small gold. the silence was broken when Brittany said, "Here let me see that."
"I think that's not a good idea," Jon said in-casing the gold with his hands.
"Don't hog it!" Julian shouted as the four friends started to fight each other for the one small piece of gold.
"This is too easy," Greedy guts whispered as he walked out. He open his mouth and a purple energy beam fired at the group. When the beam hit the group, they turned into purple energy and was sucked into Greedy-Guts mouth. "Two Rangers down, six more to go," he said in a regular whisper, "Might as well check on the first two." With that Greedy-Guts teleported out of there.
Back at Ed's Pizza, Scorpina got Putties, disguised as humans, to help serve the pizzas to a room full of people who were getting very fat include two Power Rangers. Greedy-Guts arrived into the kitchen."'Bout time," Scorpina said.
"Don't worry I'll empty out the room," Greedy-Guts said as he opened his mouth and a purple energy beam fired at the people in the room. When it hit the people, they turned into purple energy and was sucked into Greedy-Guts mouth.
"Great now I can get out of this uniform," Scorpina said.
"You can't," Greedy guts said in a normal voice, "Stay here and keep feeding anyone who comes in."
Back on the moon, Zedd and Rita were pleased at what was happening. "Yes, Greedy-Guts already got rid of four of the Rangers," Rita said. Then Rita let another sneeze.
"Hey Sis, are you sure you don't need to lay down," Rito said.
"Of course I don't need to lay down! It's a stupid cold!" Rita shouted.
Zedd wondered back to his throne and sat down, "Soon the Power Rangers will be gone and the Earth will be ours!"
At the same time in the Command Center the alarms were going off, "Ayryaiyai! Four of our Rangers are missing!" Alpha said.
"Alpha, I too feel this disturbance," Zordon said, "Put up on the viewing globe." Alpha did what he was told and Greedy-Guts appeared on the Viewing Globe. "It's just as I feared."
"Zordon what is it?" Alpha asked.
"It's Greedy-Guts, one of Darkseid's most dangerous demons," Zordon explained, "Alpha contact the Rangers at once."
"Right away Zordon," Alpha acknowledge as he pressed a few buttons.
Soon Tyler answered, "What is it Zordon?"
"Rangers, come to the Command Center at once," Zordon said. Within a minute the four remaining Rangers arrived at the Command Center. "Rangers we must act quickly for the planet is in danger."
"What do you mean Zordon? Where's the others?" Paige asked.
"Turn to the viewing globe," Zordon said. The Rangers turned to see Greedy-Guts, "This is Greedy-Guts a demon that Darkseid used against the Ancient Rangers."
"What about the others though?" Haley asked.
"Greedy-Gut has the power to evoke the deadly sins of gluttony and greed. Emile and Z had fallen to the gluttony power while Jon and Brittany had fallen to the greed power," Zordon explain.
"Then what happens?" Chris asked with concerns.
"Then Greedy-Guts devours them," Zordon answered, "And the more he devours the bigger he'll get."
Everyone gasped at that statement. "This monster needs to be stopped," Tyler stated.
"This is true," Zordon said, "But we need to save everyone first."
"How do we do that?" Chris asked.
"Chris, you'll first have to use the Frog Zord to travel to the bottom of the Atlantian Sea and find a research center that the Blue Ancient Ranger used, their you'll find a medicine cake that the Ancient Rangers used. As for the rest of you, you must keep Greedy-Guts busy," Zordon explained.
"Understood," Tyler said, "It's Morphing Time!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Dragon!"
At the park Tyler, Paige, and Haley arrived to confront Greedy-Guts, who was a little bigger then shown on the viewing globe, "So you came Rangers," Greedy-Guts said.
"We're here to stop you Greedy-Guts!" Tyler shouted.
"We'll see about that!" Greedy-Guts shouted, "Putties attack!"
Putties appeared around the Rangers and started to attack.
You'll come calling, slowly crawling
Attitude defined
A Putty tried to kick Paige, but she caught it and tossed it to another Putty.
Take and conquer, is your honor
Weak of soul and mind
Haley jumped on the shoulders of a Putty, and then kicked it away.
Call on the five
Keep hope alive
Tyler did a straight punch to a Putty to destroy it, and then started to charge at Greedy-Guts.
Call the 5-4-1

Tyler knocked over the Putties that tried to stop him.

Haley did a low kick that knocked a Putty down, and then she kicked the Z-Emblem.

"You really think you can stop me White Ranger?" Greedy-Guts asked.
"We can, because we're the Power Rangers," Tyler said as he charged at Greedy-Guts.
Call the 5-4-1
Anytime you say you want us
Tyler tried to punch Greedy-Guts, but Greedy-Guts caught him.
Call the 5-4-1

Greedy-Guts then kicked Tyler in the stomach a few times.

Then Greedy-Guts tossed Tyler at the other two Rangers.

"This is the end for you Rangers," Greedy-Guts said.
"I don't think so!" Haley shouted as she and Paige got ready to fight even more.
"But it is the end for you," Greedy-Guts said as gold appeared in both of his hands and tossed it the Rangers. At first the Rangers tried to resist it, but their greed overcome them and they started to fight for the gold. Greedy-Guts open his mouth and a purple energy beam fired at the Rangers. When the beam hit the Rangers, they turned into purple energy and was sucked into Greedy-Guts mouth.
"Ayeyaiyai! Greedy-Guts got three more Rangers!" Alpha said.
"I know Alpha. Now we must have faith in Chris," Zordon said.
Near the bottom of the Atlantian Sea, Chris was looking for the researcher center that Zordon told him about. "Okay according to Zordon the research center should be nearby," Chris said to himself. Soon Chris saw a large metal looking building, "Looks like this is it."
The Frog Zord swam near the building ad Chris was able to teleport inside. Once inside Chris started to look around, when he did, all the computers came to life and a hologram of a woman who looked normal but her head suggested that she was an alien. "Hello fellow Ranger," she said, "I am Dolphie, the Blue Dawn Ranger, who came from Aquitar."
"What's going on?" Chris asked nervously.
"When the Ranger Team I was on were fighting Darkseid and Mephiles, I thought it was best to leave my computer with all the information on Darkseid, Mephiles, and their demons. So you can asked me a question and the computers will answer that for you."
"Um. Zordon told us that you were called the Ancient Rangers," Chris said.
It took a while for Dolphie's hologram to answer, "It's understandable, by your time our generation would be seem old and almost forgotten."
"And I came here because my team is fighting Greedy-Guts, and..." Chris couldn't finish.
"Greedy-Guts is a dangerous demon," Dolphie's hologram said, "In order to stop it, I made a medicine cake from an endangered seaweed that I found." Then a small door opened to revile the cake, that looked like a green brick. "Take this and make sure that Greedy-Guts eats it."
"Thank you," Chris said as he took the cake.
"One more thing," Dolphie said, "We discovered this after we defeated Greedy-Guts. When any of Darkseid and Mephiles are defeated and returned to their card form, touch the card to destroy the demons for good."
Chris returned to Boardman, only to see a giant Greedy-Guts. "What this?" Greedy-Guts said in a deep demonic voice, "How did you stay out of my stomach?" Chris didn't replied but he kept making sure that he kept the cake hidden. "Fine then be quiet, but I think you'll want some gold." With that, Greedy-Guts started to pour gold on Chris
Chris tried to resist the gold but he started to want more of the gold, then Greedy-Guts opened mouth and a purple energy beam fired at Chris. When it hit Chris, he turned into purple energy and was sucked into Greedy-Guts mouth along with the cake.
"That's the end of the Power Rangers," Greedy-Guts said. Then he started to feel ill, "Oh not again." Then Greedy-Guts opened his mouth and purple energy fired out and hit the ground and the people of Youngstown and its surrounding townships returned and were back to normal. At the same time Greedy-Guts returned to his regular size, "This can't be happening!" he shouted as he feel to the ground and exploded.
The other Rangers were run up to Chris thanking him, "Hold on guys I need to do something," Chris said as he ran to Greedy-Guts card. Chris touched the card like Dolphie said, then the card was now on fire and was completely destroyed.
"Chris what happened?" Tyler said.
"Well according to that data of the Ancient Rangers, in order to stop the demons for good we need to destroy their cards," Chris explained.
"Seriously! That's lame." The Rangers turned to see Rito.
"Great the last person we wanted to see," Jon said.
Z stepped forward and said, "Guys I think you should make sure that the people of Youngstown get back to the city. I'll take care of Rito myself."
"Alright then, good luck," Tyler said as he and the other Ranger went to help the people of Youngstown.
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Okay Rito you're fight is with me!" Z said.
"So the Shadow Ranger wishes to fight Rito alone," Zedd said.
"It's time Zedd," Rita said.
Zedd and Rita crossed their staffs, but before they can do anything else, Rita let out a sneeze. They tried again but Rita kept on sneezing. "Sorry Zedd, but I can't do it today," Rita said.
"That's okay," Zedd said as a Grow Grenade appeared in his hand, "Rito can use this!" Rito then tossed the grenade to Earth.
Rito then caught the grenade, "This is perfect!" Rito shouted as he pulled the small ball of and slammed it to the ground, which caused a giant vent of steam that caused Rito to grow.
"Come Ark, Ship of Darkness!"
Ark flew in from space.
Z teleported to their cockpit of his Zord.
"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!"
"Try to handle me when I do this," Rito said as a jet pack appeared on his back.
Rito took flight with his sword in hand and started to attack Ark. Soon Ark pulled out the Shadow Sword and started to deflect Rito's attacks.
"Okay Rito it's time to knock out of the air," Z said as the Ark swung its sword and knocked Rito back to the ground.
"You'll pay for that!" Rito shouted as he got back up.
"Charge the Lightning Gem!" Z shouted as the Lightning Gem started to glow, "Fire!"
The Ark spread its arms out as the Lightning Gem fired a electrical beam.
Go Go Power Rangers!
The beam hit Rito head on.
Go Go Power Rangers!
Rito was knocked down and exploded.
Go Go Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Then a black energy appeared in the shape of Rito's skull, "You're good Shadow Ranger, till next time!" Then Rito's energy returned to the moon.
Back on the moon, Rito returned. "You failed you big idiot!" Rita shouted.
"Me?! No it was that demon who failed!"Rito shouted.
"Quiet both of you!" Zedd shouted, "You both giving ME a headache!"
In Youngstown, Emile and Z found their friends Tom and Caleb. "Hey, are you guys alright?" Emile asked.
"Yeah, but that was crazy," Tom said.
"I think I'll be avoiding pizza parlors for awhile," Caleb said.
"Well at least you got your lesson for the day," Z jokingly said.
"Oh up yours," Caleb replied.
A/N: Another monster submitted TeamRocketDiva. Just to let you all know, it's close to finals week so I might not be able to update soon. But I'll try. And don't worry I'll revile more about the Ancient Rangers (aka the Dawn Rangers) later.
