Chapter 17: Sign Here
At the mall in Boardman it was a unusually busy today, there were sales in almost all the stores. Amongst all the people the Rangers were also in the mall.
Jon, Brittany, and Julian were looking around and going into different stores, "I'm surprised that there are all these sales today," Brittany said.
"I know," Julian said, "I wonder why they are having these sales."
"Yeah it is quite unusual," Jon said.
The three just continued to walk until they saw a booth that had a banner that reads 'Save the Kids Foundation,' and an elderly woman was sitting in front of it, "Excuse me dearies," she started, "Would you mind to sign a petition for my group?"
"A petition for what?" Brittany asked.
"Oh my group are trying to get signatures to help out poor children with illnesses," the woman explained.
"I don't know..." Julain started.
"Please it's for the children," the woman pleaded.
"Fine," Jon said as he picked up the pen and signed his name, then Brittany and Julian signed their names.
"Thank you," the woman said, "This is for a good cause."
Then Jon, Brittany, and Julian left to do some more shopping. The elderly woman waited and had more people to sign her petition. When Chris and Paige past by she got up to stop them, "Excuse me, would you mind to sign a petition for my group?"
"Sorry but we're not in the mood to sign anything," Paige replied.
"Please deary, we're trying to help the sick children," the woman said.
"Sick children?" Chris asked.
"Yes we're trying to help the sick children," the woman said.
"Okay we'll sign you petition," Chris said as he and Paige signed the petition.
"Bless you dearies," the woman said as they left.
As the day went on and the old woman got more signatures, including signatures from Tyler and Emile. Then the woman placed a sign on the table that said, 'Will be back in fifteen minutes.' The woman walked through the mall until she ducked into an employee hallway.
"You got what we want?" the woman turned to see Goldar.
"Almost," the woman said, "I need to do one thing I need to do." The woman started to do an enchantment as the list of names that she had started to glow and part of the names that were signed on there were floating in mid air, then absorb into a scroll. "There, now you can tell Rita and Zedd that we can control of a large portion of the people in the mall," the woman said, "I even got six of the Power Rangers."
"Excellent," Goldar said as he teleported away.
On the moon, Goldar returned to tell his masters the good news, "My lord, Name-Stealer has succeed in claiming the names of people, including six of the Power Rangers."
"This is perfect," Zedd said, "Thank to Name-Stealer we got enough people to fight Zordon."
"I know. I'm not even surprised that those humans fell for those fake sales that Name-Stealer set up," Rita said, "Oh Zedd do you think I can go down there and command those humans?"
"Are you sure my dear?" Zedd asked, "Humans can be dangerous."
"Don't worry, I'll have Scorpina with me," Rita pointed out.
"Alright, just be careful," Zedd said.
Back at the mall Haley and her sisters, Courtney and Kelsey, had arrive for the sales at the mall. "Finally we're here," Courtney said.
"And didn't I tell you that these sale are going on all day," Haley pointed out.
"I know," Courtney replied.
As they wondered around looking for a store, they past Jon, Brittany, and Julian, "Hi guys," Haley said.
"Hey Haley, Courtney, Kelsey," Julian greeted back.
Before they could get into a conversation they saw people screaming and running out from part of the mall.
"Looks like trouble," Haley said, "Courtney take Kelsey and get out."
"What are you crazy?" Courtney said, "It could be dangerous going alone."
"That's why I think me and Jon should come with you," Brittany said.
"Thanks," Haley said as she and Brittany went off to see what made people run away, but Jon stayed behind.
"Aren't you going?" Julian asked.
"Sorry," Jon said, "I didn't know that they were talking about me." With that said, Jon ran to catch up with Brittany and Haley.
As the three Rangers ran they also countered with the four other Rangers. Soon they saw in the distance the booth that had a banner that reads 'Save the Kids Foundation,' with Rita, Scorpina, and the elderly woman.
"What is Rita doing here?" Emile asked.
"Who knows, but whatever it is we have to stop it," Tyler said.
As the Ranger got closer Rita noticed the Rangers, "Ah I'm glad that you can join us on this special day," Rita said.
"What do you want now Rita?!" Chris demanded.
"Well for right now Rita has everything she wants right now," the woman said.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked.
Rita just smiled before she shouted, "Destroy the Yellow Ranger!"
Rita's voice echoed through the mall, then the Rangers', other than Haley, eyes started to glow red and they turned to face Haley.
"What's going on?" Haley asked.
"We don't know," Tyler replied, "Our bodies are just acting on their own."
Soon the people who signed the petition started to arrive and surround Haley, "Zordon, I got a problem here," she said to her Communicator.
"I know Haley," Zordon said, "Teleport to the Command Center right now."
Haley did what Zordon told her and teleported out of there.
At the Command Center, Haley arrived worried of what's going, "Zordon what's going?"
"To me it seems that everyone was under some sort of mind control. Alpha start scanning for the source of the mind control," Zordon said.
Alpha did what he was told and started to scan for the source then he found the source, "Ayeyaiyai! It's Name-Stealer!"
"Name-Stealer?"
"It's a monster that does what it name say, she steals people's names and use them to control," Alpha explains, "But it also seems that the other Rangers are aware of what they are doing, but everyone else won't remember what happened to them."
"Is there a way to break the spell?" Haley asked.
"Well Name-Stealer took people's name and put in her scroll. So if we get the scroll we could break the spell," Alpha explained.
"Alpha contact Z and tell him of our situation," Zordon commanded.
"No," Haley said, "I don't want to interrupt Z's trip in Poland. I'll get the scroll myself."
"But Haley this is a powerful monster," Alpha started, "You'll need the other Rangers to get the scroll."
"I can find a way," Haley stated.
"If you must Haley," Zordon said, "You can challenge Name-Stealer to a test to recover the other Rangers names. But be warned, her test will be hard."
"Thank you Zordon," Haley said as she teleported out of there.
Back at the mall, Haley arrived to see that almost everyone in the mall was under mind control. Haley sneaked around the brain washed people and reached where Name-Stealer, Rita and Scorpina were at. "Name-Stealer, I'm here to free the Rangers!" she shouted.
The villains took notice of Haley, and started to laugh, "You think you can save the Rangers by yourself," Scorpina said.
"I know I can when I challenge her test," Haley stated.
"So you want to challenge my test?" Name-Stealer said, "Just sign your name here." Haley did what she was told and signed her name. "And to make it fair I'll let you have the aid of the other Rangers and let you morph." With that Haley and the Ranger disappeared.
The Rangers, already morphed, arrived in a room that was large and dark, "What's going on?" Emile asked.
"We're here to take a test," Haley said, "If we win you guys are free."
Then out of nowhere they heard someone running at them.
They turned to see someone in black armor and sword charging at them, "That must be it," Haley said.
The Rangers pulled out their Power Weapons as the armored man jumped into the air and tried to attack.
Draw your blade
Shall mark this day
The Rangers got out of the way as the armored man stabbed the ground.
You shall pay
When sworn through swords
Paige lashed out her whip and wrapped it around the man's arm.
Draw your blade
Shall mark this day
Then the man grabbed the whip and pulled Paige in.
You shall pay
When sworn through swords
As he was doing that Jon fire his guns at the man's back, but the man deflect the shots.
My chaos sphere
It rules right here
The deflected shots hit Jon and knocked him down.
This is more than war
Bow down or draw your sword
Brittany aimed an arrow at the man's arm and fire.
You think you've mastered pain
There are no rules in this game
The arrow did hit the man's arm making him let go of Paige's whip.
Cast your ritual taunt
Right before the blood lust hunt
The man picked up his sword and charged at the Rangers.
I'll singe the soul, as I burn all
Turning the flesh to soot as I kill them all
Haley got her daggers ready to fend off the man.
Master the blade, it's what you strive for
Haley tried to block the attack but the man was too strong
The bait, the lure
We're sworn through swords
Chris and Emile came in to help Haley.
Give into me draw your blade
Heresy shall mark this day
They were able to fend off the man's attacks.
Brutality you shall pay
Face your fears when sworn through swords
Emile and Chris were able to lock the man's sword to the ground with their weapons.
Give into me draw your blade
Heresy shall mark this day
But the Man was able to pull his sword out of the lock and attacked the two Rangers, knocking them to the ground.
Brutality you shall pay
Face your fears when sworn through swords
Tyler Finally charge in with his sword and started unleash a barrage of attack on the man.
The more you give, the more I maim
You are spirit, and I am bane
Tyler finally got an opening on man and slashed his sword that hit the man's helmet.
Your truth strikes through, as steel guides true
It's enough for pride, but not enough to survive
The man started to laugh and said, "Good job, you are as skilled as I remembered."
"What do you mean?" Haley asked.
The man took off his helmet to show his face to the Rangers. The Ranger gasped when they saw that the man was Z.
"How is this possible?" Paige asked.
"Don't worry it's a test, that's not Z," Haley reminded.
"True to that," the fake Z said, "But you know that I was touched by the Dark Power and sooner or later I would become a minion to Darkseid." Soon the Power Blaster appeared in front of the Rangers, "Now destroy me and end it all."
The Power Blaster were in the Rangers hands and aimed at the fake Z, but the Rangers couldn't do it. "No, you are our friend," Tyler said, "We cannot destroy our own ally."
"How do you know if I won't turn on you?" the fake Z asked.
The Rangers couldn't help but smile under their helmets, "Because Z has a strong heart, and would not let the Dark Power take control," Haley answered.
The fake Z smiled then disappeared.
The Rangers reappeared at the mall, where they took the villains by surprise, "What!? that's impossible!" Name-Stealer shouted.
"Yeah we passed your test," Haley said, "Now give them their names back."
"Never!" Name-Stealer shouted as she grabbed the scroll, "I will never give you back your names!"
Rita then hit Name-Stealer with her staff, "This is what happens when you make your stupid tests!" Rita shouted.
"Even though you are a monster, you made a deal and you have to uphold it," Scorpina said as she took the scroll and tossed it to the Rangers.
Haley was the one who caught it, "Okay, didn't expect that to happen," she said, "Alpha we got the scroll, teleport it to the Command Center."
"Right," Alpha said as the scroll disappeared.
"I'm out of here," Rita announced.
"What about me?" Name-Stealer asked.
"You stay here and fight the Rangers," Rita answered as she teleported away.
Name-Stealer looked towards the Rangers for a few seconds and then she ran.
Back on the moon, Rita arrived back. "Rita it seems that Name-Stealer is running away now," Zedd said.
"Are you serious?" Rita asked, "She's becoming more worthless."
"Should we help her?" Zedd asked.
"Might as well," Rita replied.
Rita and Zedd crossed their staffs and shouted, "Make our monster grow!" lightning shot down and hit Name-Stealer, making her grow and transform into her monster form, that looked like a puppet in a black gown and has an old fashion pen for a weapon.
"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.
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.
"Now in this form you Rangers stand no chance," Name-Stealer said.
"We'll see about that," Tyler said, "We need the Sword of Light!" Tyler shouted. Then the sword fell from the sky where the Megazord claimed the sword.
Name-Stealer charged at the Megazord with her pen weapon, but the Megazord slashed its sword that cut her weapon in half.
"Okay in truth I'm not a fighter," Name-Stealer said, "Please spare me."
"Sorry we don't make deals with you kind," Tyler said, "It's time to finish this!"
The Megazord raised its sword as it started to glow.
Go Go Power Rangers!
Then the Megazord slashed its sword that made an energy beam that hit Name-Stealer.
Go Go Power Rangers!
Name-Stealer gave out a shriek as she fell to the ground and exploded.
Go Go Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
"I'm not surprise that the monster failed," Zedd said.
"Well the only good thing that could come out of this is losing their trust to the Shadow Ranger," Rita said.
Back on Earth Alpha was able to break the spell and free everyone from the mind control. And since the sales were fake everyone who made a purchased anything were forced to return it or pay full price.
At the mall's food court, the Rangers and their friends were hanging out with each other. "What a disappointment," Julian said.
"I was surprised that Zedd and Rita set this up as a trap," Courtney said.
"Well this just show how despite Zedd and Rita are getting to stop the Power Rangers," Jon said.
