Chapter 31: Parent's Night

At Boardman High's choir room, the Rangers, without Brittany and Z, were getting ready to leave chorale practice. "So ready for tonight?" Tyler said starting some small talk before the bell rang.

"You mean the open house tonight, where the faculty decided that it would be a good idea to have the parents bring their children," Paige said, "I'm not."

"Seriously, what were they thinking?" their friend Kyle asked.

"I heard that they are doing it for the students," another friend named Tim said.

"How?" Emile asked.

"Who know," Tim replied as the bell rang.

The student started to walk out of the choir room and was heading for the cafeteria for lunch. "Let's just hope that we don't into any trouble if you know what I mean," Haley said to the Rangers and the Rangers nodded in agreement.

On the moon, Scorpina was watching the Rangers, "Goldar is Zedd or Rita awake yet?" she asked.

"I'll go and check," Goldar said as he was about to leave the throne room.

"Already ahead of you," Rito said as he walked in with a piece of paper, "It seems like they are not here, but they left us a note. 'Dear nitwits and Scorpina, Zedd and I decided to go on our second honeymoon. Zedd left you all with Grow Grenades and expect you to keep on working on finding a way to destroy the Power Rangers. Rita'"

"How can they do this to us?!" Goldar shouted.

"Well if you think about Rita does get a lot of headaches," Rito pointed out.

"Rita gets headaches from everything!" Goldar shouted.

"Enough!" Scorpina shouted, "Zedd and Rita want us to destroy the Power Rangers. So how are we going to do it?"

The three villains stood their trying to figure out an idea to destroy the Power Rangers, "Gee, I can't think of something."

"I have an idea." They all turned to see a being who looked like Zedd, but had more on a metallic armor and shoulder pads, half his face looked human, he had horns and he was holding a metal staff with a red Z in a ring on top.

"Thrax?" they said.

"Thrax, where did you come from?" Scorpina asked.

"Darkseid had brought me back," Thrax replied, "She said that she brought back my parents and said that it is best for me come back to help my perants."

"So," Rito started as he slowly approached Thrax, "What does my favorite nephew have planned." Then Rito tried to hug Thrax.

"Two things uncle," Thrax said as he pushed Rito away, "First don't hug me. Second you'll all see my plan." Then Thrax walked out of the throne room to Finster's shop, "Finster I need a Hypnotic Bat!"

Finster was surprised seeing Thrax, "Lord Thrax, you returned," he said.

"I'm not here for small talk," Thrax said, "Do you have a Hypnotic Bat?!

"I'm sorry, but I don't," Finster said.

"Well, start working on one," Thrax demanded, "I need it for tonight's plan."

Later that night at Boardman High, all the students and their parents were arriving for open house. The Rangers did arrive one by one and they were sent to the cafeteria while their parents went to the class rooms.

Emile with two of his younger sisters, Carly and Victoria, wondered around till they saw Z, Tom, and Caleb sitting at a table, "Hey guys," Emile greeted as he sat at the table.

"Hey," Z and Caleb greeted back.

"Ciao," Tom said, "Enjoying this new idea that the faculty came up with?"

"Are you kidding this is just a waste of our time," Caleb said, "If this is to help the students, it won't work. I mean we already have Diversity Day."

"I agree with you," Z said.

On the other side of the cafeteria, Jon and Brittany were with their friend Julian. "Enjoying this night?" Julian asked.

"I'm just wondering why they wanted to bring us along," Brittany replied.

Unknown to everyone Goldar, Scorpina, and Rito appeared at each floor of the side of the school that the classes were at, they place a device on the floor and activated it then teleported out of there.

Then group of Putties came in and closed the gates to the academic hallways. "Monsters!" a passing janitor shouted getting their attention.

Not only the shouting got the Putties attention but the students in the cafeteria and the Rangers were the first to run out to see the group of Putties. "Of course Putties," Tyler said as the Rangers got ready for a fight.

The Putties attacked the Rangers, and they were able to block the attacks.

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

A Putty tried to get behind Tyler, but Tyler was able to kick it and destroy the Z-Emblem.

No time to stop
'Cause they are close behind

Haley flipped over a Putty, and punched in the back.

When they come knock
They better know it's time

Jon slid on the floor, knocking a few Putties.

I've got the lock
To keep them all in line

Emile grabbed a Putty and then tosses to another.

Well you can run and you can hide

Paige jumped in the air and kicked two Putties down.

When the evil's got you in sight

A Putty tried to attack Z, but Z was able to block and counter the attack.

C-C-C-Combat

Chris and Brittany were able to double team Putties.

Yeah!

C-C-C-Combat

All the Putties were destroyed, the Rangers turned to see a bunch of surprised students. "What? We think it's best to learn how to fight, just in case if the Rangers don't show up," Tyler explained.

Then from the academic hallway there was a bright light that blinded everyone, and then it faded away. "What was that?!" a student shouted.

A member of the faculty got the gates up and checked out of what happened, he came back with a horror look on his face. "All the parents are gone!" he shouted.

Back the moon, Thrax march into Finster's shop, "Finster! My plan is in motion, is my Hypnotic Bat ready?!" he demanded.

"Don't worry my lord," Finster said, "It's already in the Monster Maker." Then Finster pulled a lever. The Monster Maker did it work and at the end A purple human sized bat with its wings wrapped around its body.

"What do you want me to do?" Hypnotic Bat said in thick Romanian accent.

In another dimension, all the parents of the Boardman High students were trapped behind bars. Soon Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina walked in. "So who are we looking for?" Rito asked.

"You know who we are looking for," Goldar said as he open the cell and he and Rito went though the large group of parents, leaving Scorpina to make sure that no one gets away.

Goldar and Rito were pulling out the Rangers' parents and took them to another dimension.

The Rangers' parents arrived in a dimension of a dark forest, "What's going on?" Jon's mother asked.

"It's simple," Thrax started as he appeared in front of the parents, "You are here to serve as my Power Rangers proof shield."

"Who are you?" Emile's father said.

"I am Thrax, the son of Zedd and Rita, making me the Prince of Evil," he introduced himself, "And you will serve me."

"We'll never serve you," Tyler's father said.

Out of nowhere the Hypnotic Bat appeared behind, "You will have no choice," it said as it let out a high pitch screech that made the parents clutch their heads in pain.

When the monster stopped screeching the parents said, "Hail Thrax."

At Boardman High, the faculty thought that it would best to keep the students safe in the cafeteria till the Power Rangers take care of all this. But the main problem was that the Rangers were in the cafeteria. "So now what?" Paige asked.

"We need to get out of here," Chris said.

As the Rangers were discussing ideas on how to get out of the cafeteria, until Julian approached Jon, "So you think the Power Ranges will help our parents?"

"I bet they are," Jon said.

"So…?" Julian asked.

"So what?" Jon asked back.

"Jon I know that you are a Power Ranger," Julian whispered.

"How?" Jon asked.

"I'll tell you later," Julian said, "If the other Rangers are here, tell them that I can help sneak them out."

Jon was unsure of what Julian said, so he decided to tell the others, "Hey guys it seems that Julian wants to help us sneak out."

"Why?" Z asked.

"It seemed he found out," Jon said, "but we can trust him since he didn't tell anyone yet."

"Alright let's see what he will do for us," Tyler said as Jon led the Rangers to where Julian was at.

As they got close Julian opened a door that had no teacher near it, and let the Rangers pass and let them go to the empty hallway, "Thanks Julian," Jon said.

"You're welcome," Julian said as Jon went through the door, and he closed it, "I should have known that they were the Rangers."

At the Command Center, the Rangers arrived hoping that Zordon can help, "Rangers I know why you came, and I think I know who's behind it," Zordon said.

"Is it Zedd, Rita, or any of their goons?" Paige asked.

"It's none of them," Zordon answered, "It is Zedd and Rita's son, Thrax."

"Zedd and Rita's son?" Haley said.

"Zedd and Rita can have children?" Chris asked.

"Yes, turn to the viewing globe," Zordon said. The Rangers turned to the viewing to see an image of Thrax.

"He looks like a hybrid of Zedd and Rita," Brittany said.

"He's a very dangerous creature and he must be stopped," Zordon said.

"Where is he?" Emile asked.

"Thrax is in a dimension that he created with your parents," Alpha said.

"What about the other parents?" Tyler asked.

"They're in another dimension," Alpha said.

"I think it would be best to take care of Thrax first," Tyler said, "Then we save everyone else. It's Mophin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

In Thrax's Dark Forrest Dimension, the Rangers arrived and first saw Thrax, "So we meet Rangers. The vey Rangers who interfering my parents' second coming."

"And you're the ass who took our parents," Tyler said, "Ready Light Javelins!" The Rangers then pull out their javelins.

"Are you sure you want to fight me," Thrax said as the Rangers' parents walked out and stand in front of Thrax, "You might hit your parents."

"Nice try," Tyler said as he and the Rangers pole-vaulted over their parents. As they were in the air, they were knocked back down.

"Sorry, but you can't cheat like that," Hypnotic Bat said as it landed behind the Rangers.

The Rangers got back up and was about to get ready to fight, but Thrax used his staff to zap the Rangers from behind. "You can't stop me Rangers," Thrax said, "Hypnotic Bat you know what to do!"

"Yes master," Hypnotic Bat said before he gave a high pitch screeching chant. As the monster was chanting, the Rangers demorphed.

"Now it's time for you destruction!" Thrax shouted as he got his staff ready to finish the unmorphed Rangers, but the Rangers teleported out of there. "Hmph, cowards."

Rangers soon arrived back at the Command Center, "What happened?" Paige asked.

"We saw that you all were in danger so we brought you all back," Alpha said.

"But what happened to us?" Tyler asked, "We just demorphed."

"Well let see your Morpher," Alpha said as Tyler handed his Morpher. Alpha took it to a scanner to see what happened, and then the results were in. "Ayeyaiyai! The monster short circuit the Morphers!"

"What?!" The Rangers shouted.

"It's Hypnotic Bat's high pitch screech, that short circuit the Morphers," Zordon said, "It would take two hours for them to recharge."

"Recharge! But be then Thrax could have Youngstown under his control!" Tyler said.

"I think that means we're up." The Rangers turn to see six figures behind them.

"Who are they?" Chris asked.

"Rangers meet the Rangers who came before you; Mack Hartford the Red Overdrive, Bridge Carson the Red S.P.D. Ranger, Tori Hanson the Blue Wind Ranger, Kira Ford the Yellow Dino Ranger, Xander Bly the Green Mystic Ranger, and Adam Park the Black Mighty Morphin Ranger. These are six of the ten Ranger who defeated Thrax," Zordon explained.

"So what happened to the others?" Brittany asked.

"Well rest of the Overdrive Rangers went their separate ways after we defeated Flurious and Moltor," Mack answered.

"Alpha and I contacted them since they defeated Thrax," Zordon said, "They will be powerful allies for us."

The alarms started to go off and Alpha started to panic, "Ayeyaiyai! Goldar, Rito, and Scorpina are attacking Youngstown!"

"Well that's our cue," Adam said as he and the other older Rangers pull out their different Moprphers.

"Overdrive Accelerate!"

"SPD, Emergency!"

"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form"

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

"Dino Thunder Power Up!"

"It's Mophin Time!"
