Chapter 29: Phantom of the Wits
At Boardman High's Parking lot, Chris and Paige arrived and went inside to see in the cafeteria that some of the students were gathering around the TV.
"What's going on?" Chris asked.
"There's a special report about the Power Rangers," a fellow student said.
On the screen an anchor man started to talk, "Welcome to our special report on the Power Rangers. As we know they are super heroes who protect our valley from monsters sent by Zedd and Rita. But the question on everyone's mind is 'Who are the Power Rangers?' Yesterday our reporter went out to see the people of the valley have to say of who they think the Power Rangers are."
The screen cuts to a female reporter who was wondering around the streets of Youngstown, asking people on who they think the Power Rangers could be. People gave the reporter their ideas of who could be the Rangers, a lot of people think that the Power Rangers were some sort of athletes.
"Why don't the guess thespians?" Paige asked.
"Cause it can be the last thing," the two Rangers turned to see Tyler.
"Hey Tyler," Paige greeted, "What's up?"
"Nothing much," Tyler replied, "Tim wanted me to notify anyone interested in joining the Drama Guild this year that there is a meeting after school to let us know what we are doing this year and when the first auditions are."
Before anyone can say anything else, the bell rung telling students to head for class, "Well see you at the meeting," Tyler said as he and all the students are walking to their class.
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were trying to plan a way to defeat the Power Rangers, "Well I'm stumped for the day," Zedd admitted.
"Oh come on Zeddy we need a plan," Rita tried to inspire her husband, "We just need to use something that the Rangers use against them.
Soon there was a voice singing in the throne room.
Insolent children!
The slaves of fashion basking in your glory!
Ignorant fools!
This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph!
Then something came over Scorpina and she started to sing:
Angel, I hear you.
Speak - I listen . . .
stay by my side, guide me.
Angel, my soul was weak -
forgive me . . .
enter at last, Master.
Voice: Flattering child, you shall know me,
see why in shadow I hide.
Look at your face in the mirror -
I am there inside!
They all looked at the mirror as Scorpina sang:
Angel of Music,
Guide and guardian,
Grant to me your
glory.
Angel of Music,
Hide no longer.
Come to me, strange
Angel...
"Alright who's singing?!" Goldar shouted.
"Way to kill the mood," a figure said as it teleported in front of them. It was an extremely handsome red goblin in a blue tux and top hat holding a gold cane with blonde hair.
"And you are you?!" Rito demanded.
"Forgive my rudeness, I'm called the Witty Phantom," he introduced himself as he took of his top hat and bow to Zedd and Rita, "And I think a black rose is needed for the lovely lady." Witty Phantom pulled out a black rose and handed it to Rita, he even winked at her. With all this, made Rita giggle.
Zedd noticed this and gave a small 'grr,' "What are you doing here?" Zedd asked.
"Well I travel the galaxy, to do some performances. And I heard that you two had returned, so I wondered if I can be of service," Witty Phantom explained.
"Can you destroy the Power Rangers?" Rita asked.
Witty Phantom gently grabbed Rita's hand and kissed it, "For you, anything," he said which made Rita giggle again and Zedd glowing red a little.
Later that day after the meeting, the Rangers, along with Courtney, David, and Matt, who are helping out with the play, were leaving the director's, Mullane, room.
"So what do you think of these play Mullane suggested this year?" Matt asked.
"I'll like to see who get what parts for these plays," Jon said as they were unaware of the singing in the background:
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and wakes stirs imagination
"Anyone going to try out for a certain role?" Z asked.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
"I'll get what I get," Tyler replied.
Helpless to resist the notes I write, for I compose the music of the night
"Do you guys hear singing?" Courtney asked.
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
"Sounds like someone is singing in the theater," David said as they went to see who was singing.
Hearing is believing,
Music is decieving
Hard as lightning ,
Soft as candlelight
In the theater, they saw Putties on the stage.
Dare you trust the music of the night
"Damn Putties!" Haley shouted as the charge into the fight.
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth and the truth isn't what you want to see
Emile did a running kick to a Putty, and destroyed the Z-Emblem.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
that the truth is what it aught to be
Haley flipped over a Putty and kicked it to another.
Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Tyler charged at a Putty, and punched it and destroying it.
Open up you mind let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night.
Paige was kicked by a Putty, but she was able to bring it down with her.
Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Z got a Putty to come with him into the scene shop, where he hit it with a hammer.
Close your eyes and let music set you free
Two Putties were getting close to Brittany, and she double kicked them.
Only then can you belong to me
Jon lure a few Putties to the edge of the stage. When the Putties attacked Jon got out of the way.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Matt, Courtney, and David watch the Rangers fight of the Putties, "They gotten better since Hollywood.
Let the dream begin let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
As they watched them the Witty Phantom got behind them and sang, You alone can make my song take flight help me make the music of the night.
Then Witty Phantom raises his cane and sucked out an energy from the three of them.
After the Rangers defeated the Putties, they saw their friends lying in front of the stage door, they rushed over, "What happened?" Brittany said.
"Something attacked us," Courtney said.
"Where did it go?" Tyler asked.
"It went outside," Matt replied.
"Okay will go after it," Tyler said, "It's Mophin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
Outside the Rangers caught up to Witty Phantom, "Finally, you Rangers caught up," Witty Phantom said, "I didn't want to wrinkle my suit."
"Okay buddy what did you do to our friends?!" Haley demanded.
"I just took their wits," Witty Phantom replied.
"What for?" Chris asked.
Witty Phantom just smiled as he disappeared. The Ranger got defensive and got ready for an attack. Then Tyler was knocked down by an unseen force. The Rangers turned to see Witty Phantom.
Paige and Z tried to kick Witty Phantom, but with quick speed, they ended up hitting each other, "What the hell was that?!" Z said.
"Sorry but I'm not like those other monsters," Witty Phantom said, "I'm more sophisticated."
"We don't care what you are, we will stop you," Tyler said, "Ready Light Javelins!"
Then the Rangers charged at Witty Phantom.
Back on the moon, Zedd and Rita were watching the fight, "He's doing much better than I thought," Zedd said.
"I know," Rita said. They saw how Witty Phantom dodged Emile and Chris's attack and had the hit each other. As he reappeared he pulled something out of his hat and tossed it in the air, it unfolded and read, 'All for the lovely Rita.' "Isn't that sweet?" Rita said.
Unknown to Rita, Zedd blood was boiling, "I'll be right back," he said as he walked out of the throne room. Zedd soon arrived to Fister's shop, "Finster I need a monster!"
"Why my lord, don't you have a monster already attacking the Power Rangers?" Finster asked.
"I do, but want to show him what happens when he flirts with my wife!" Zedd shouted, "Now give me a monster!"
"Well I think the Siguana, will be a good choice," Finster said as he grabbed a sculpture of a monster with an iguana's body with a snake's head and snakes for arms.
Back at Boardman High, Witty Phantom dodged another attack. But unknown to him Brittany got behind him and slashed him with her javelin.
Witty Phantom checked to see what damage Brittany done, and he saw that there was a large hole in the back off his tux. "Oh now you'll pay for that bitch!" Witty Phantom shouted as he started to charge at Brittany, but with good timing Tyler rammed into Witty Phantom, knocking him into a mud puddle. "MUD!!!!" he screamed.
"What can't play in the mud?" Tyler said.
"You ruined an expansive suit!" Witty Phantom shouted, "You Rangers will..." Witty Phantom was interrupted by a loud thud.
They all turned to see a giant Siguana, "Oh Witty Phantom, where are you?" it said.
Witty Phantom went wide eye when he saw the Siguana, "What is that thing?" he asked.
"Looks like Zedd and Rita send a monster after you," Tyler replied.
"I need you guys to destroy that thing," Witty Phantom said.
"Why should we?" Chris asked.
Witty Phantom paused for a second and said, "I can return your friends wits."
The Rangers looked at each other and Tyler said "Might as well."
Z got behind Witty Phantom, "I'm staying to keep my eye on you," Z said as he forced Witty Phantom to sit on the grass, "Now sit still."
"What about grass stain?" Witty Phantom asked.
"You're covered in mud, so shut it," Z replied.
"We need the Zords of Light!"
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.
"Rangers what do you think you are doing?" Siguana said.
"You're terrorizing the town, so we're here to stop you," Tyler replied.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Siguana shouted as it charged at the Megazord and tried to strike it with its snake arms. But the Megazord deflected the attacks.
"Come on is that the best you can do?" Jon asked.
"Not even close!" Siguana shouted as it lashed its arms at the Megazord and wrapped it around the Megazord. Then Siguana's head extended to the Megazord and bit down on it.
Sparks were flying around in the cockpit due to Siguana, "We need the Sword of Light!" Tyler shouted. Then the sword fell from the sky where it hit Siguana, knocking it away. Then the Megazord claimed the sword.
"You can't best me!" Siguana shouted as he charged at the Megazord.
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 Siguana.
Go Go Power Rangers!
Siguana screamed as it fell to the ground and exploded.
Go Go Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Back with Z, he pulled Witty Phantom from the ground and asked, "Okay how do we return our friends wits?"
"Well if my cane is destroyed, then it will return the wits to your friends," Witty Phantom explained as he held his cane out, "But it's hard to destroy this."
Z pulled out the Shadow Saber and destroyed the cane. Then different colors flew from the remains. They saw three flew towards where David, Courtney, and Matt and the others went straight to the sky.
"How do you think I'm called the Witty Phantom?"
Later the rest of the Rangers joined up with Z, "So...?" Tyler started.
"Don't worry it's been done," Z replied.
"So now what?" Tyler asked.
"I think will stay on Earth until Zedd and Rita forget about me, then I'll leave," Witty Phantom explianed.
"Then what?" Paige asked.
"I think I'll start a galaxy theater and show Phantom of the Opera," Witty Phantom said, "I was always interested in it since it first came out on Broadway."
"You're interested in Phantom of the Opera?"
"Of course," Witty Phantom said as he started to walk away, "Till next time Rangers."
On the Moon Rita was furious at her husband, "How could you do this?!" Rita shouted
"But what about the time with Miss-ty?" Zedd pointed out.
"That was different!" Rita shouted as she started to hit Zedd with her staff.
