Chapter 44: Dark Sides

At the end of the school day, Emile was getting his books out of his locker and getting his jacket out. Once he was all set he started to walk down the hall, where he heard glass breaking and someone saying, "Damn it!"

Emile stopped to check the science classroom where he saw a red head girl surrounded by beakers, glasses, and vials of different colored liquids.

"Hey," he said getting the girl's attention, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm May Jackman," she said hold out her hand for Emile to shake, but she put it down as Emile was wait for her to continue, "And I'm here to use the lab for a project."

"What project?" Emile asked.

"Oh it's just something I've been working on," May replied, "You know the story of Jekyll and Hyde?"

"Yeah," Emile replied.

"Well I was thinking one day and thought about the serum the Dr. Jekyll made and I always wanted to make it," May explain.

"Why though?" Emile said, "Jekyll became a monster."

"Well if used right..." May was then was interrupted by Emile's Communicator, "What's that?"

"Umm... it's my watch, telling me that I'm late for my commitment," Emile half lied, since he knows he almost forgot that he needs to be at the Command Center.

"Okay then, I hope I get to see you around," May said as Emile left the room.

Once Emile was far away from the room, he teleported out of there.

Emile soon arrived at the Command Center, where the other Rangers were waiting, "So what kept ya?" Paige asked.

"Well there was this girl who was one of the school's labs to make the potion that was used in Jekyll and Hyde," Emile replied.

The response caused the other Rangers to raise an eyebrow, "You mean the potion that turned Jekyll into a monster?" Jon said.

"Yeah but she said that she had a reason," Emile said, "But I didn't hear it."

"Well then, shall we start our training?" Tyler suggested.

On the moon Rita smiled at what she saw. "Well, well, well, look at what we got here," she said.

"What is it now?" Zedd asked.

"A girl at the Rangers' school is making a serum from that Jekyll and Hyde story," Rita said.

"A girl thinks she can make something that can turn people into monsters," Thrax said, "How laughable."

"How about we give her a hand. Thrax fetch Wolfbeast," Rita said as she walk to Finster's shop, "Finster I want a serum that can make a human into a monster!"

"As you wish my queen," Finster said, "But aren't you sure you don't want one of my crafted monsters?"

"No! I want a serum for my plan to defeat the Power Rangers!" Rita shouted.

Later at school, May finished making the serum, "Okay time for a taste test," she said as she took the vial. Soon there was a large bang in the hallway, "Who's out there?" May said as placed the vial down and went to check the hall.

While May was out in the hall, Finster appeared in the room and took May's vial and replaced it with a look alike that had his serum, and he got out of there.

"That was weird," she said as she went back to the table and grabbed the serum, "Well bottoms up." Then May drank the serum to the last drop.

"Well do we have a scoop here?" May turned to see Luke Talsman.

"Just a man from the newspaper looking for a scoop," Luke replied.

"Well I got the biggest scoop of the century," May said, "I made a serum that can help power up anyone and they can help the Power Rangers stop the bad guys."

"That's it? Sounds like a stupid idea. I mean that's something a little kid would make up," Luke said, "Maybe you should stick to those Jekyll and Hyde books and shut up forever." Then Luke left the room.

May was left with anger swelling up in her, "How dare he insult my brilliant idea!" she shouted.

Outside in the hall, Luke was waiting, "Finally Rita's plan is coming together," he said to himself.

At the Command Center, the Rangers were concentrating to help bring out the Light Power. Tyler was getting close and was feeling the power in his hand, but the alarm interrupted his and the other Rangers' thoughts. "Damn," he whispered as he and the others left the room.

"Ayeyaiyai! This is terrible!" Alpha shouted.

"What is it Alpha?" Paige asked.

"Two monsters were spotted near Boardman High," Alpha said.

"Be careful Rangers, we don't know what powers these monsters have," Zordon said.

"Don't worry we will," Tyler said, "It's Morphin Time!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

The Rangers arrived at Boardman High to see the same wolf monster from the other day and a female monster that looked like a disfigure human in a black cloak with long sharp finger nails. "Ahh Rangers I you came, let me introduce ourselves, "The wolf monster said, "I am Wolfbeast and this is Jacqueline Hyde."

"Zedd and Rita must be getting desperate on getting new monsters," Chris said.

"Yeah it sounds like you to were copied out of a horror movie," Brittany added.

"Say what you want, but we will stop you," Jacqueline said as she ran towards the Rangers. The Rangers were surprised to see how fast she struck as she hit Jon and Emile.

The Rangers pulled out their javelins and got ready to fight.

Chris and Tyler jumped into the air and tried to stab Jacqueline Hyde, only to miss when she back-flipped to dodged the attack.

Brittany and Haley attacked only to miss and Jacqueline punched them back, knocking them down.

"Ready Blasters!" Tyler shouted as he and the other pulled out their blasters and aimed them at Jacqueline Hyde.

"AHHH! Not now!" Jacqueline shouted as she started to run off, leaving the Rangers confused. But then they turned to Wolfbeast.

"Looks like you're next," Emile said as the Rangers pointed their blasters at Wolfbeast.

"Well this was just a test, I'll be back," Wolfbeast said as he teleported away.

"That was weird," Haley said, "Should we get back to Zordon?"

"We should," Tyler said as the Rangers teleported out of there.

Back on the moon, Rita was furious at what happened, "What happened out there! Why did she turn back to normal?"

"Well my queen it seems that after a while, the girl will calm down which would make the monster to revert back into her," Finster explained.

"Then we would need to find a way to keep her angry," Rita said.

"Don't worry my queen, she's in high school," Wolfbeast told Rita, "She get angry soon."

At the Command Center, the Rangers told Zordon what happened. "Well with what you told me, I believe that Alpha might have the answer," Zordon said.

"Well according to the scans it seems that Jacqueline Hyde is human and she was reverting to her human form," Alpha explained.

"Well do you know what we can do to make her completely human?" Jon asked.

"Not yet," Alpha replied.

"For now Rangers I think it will be best for you to return home and wait till we find a way to stop the monster," Zordon said.

The Rangers agreed to that idea and teleported out of there.

The next day at Boardman High, The Rangers, minus Brittany, were in the chorale class waiting for it to start.

"So do you guys think the monster will attack again?" Haley asked.

"I put my money on it," Chris said.

Soon the teachers came out of the office and told the class to get their music ready.

Elsewhere in the school, May was entering the girl's bathroom, where three other girls were putting on their makeup, soon one of them noticed May. "Hey look it's the school's nerd," the one girl said as the girls turned to face May.

"Can you leave me alone for today? I don't feel well," May said.

"Why did another of your dorky idea failed again?" the second girl said as the others started to laugh.

"I mean it," May said as she started to get angry.

"Or what?" the third girl said as May's anger grew.

Soon a roar and a screams can be heard thought out the school. "Students and faculty please evacuate the school," the principle said over the loud speakers, "A monster has be spotted in the school, repeat a monster has been spotted in the school."

The students started to panic as they started to evacuate the school, and in the confusion the Rangers were able to slip away unnoticed.

In front of the school, Jacqueline Hyde walked out to see Wolfbeast and a bunch of Dark Putties. Then the Rangers arrived to confront the monsters, "Hey uglies!" Tyler shouted getting the monsters' attention, "What the big idea throwing the school into a scare?"

"Well how else can we your attention?" Wolfbeast replied, "Attack!"

Then the Dark Putties charged at the Rangers. Then Rangers pulled out their weapons to fend off the Putties.

When the Rangers attacked the Putties, the Putties easily countered the attacks and tossed the Rangers weapons to the sides and two Putties were holding down each Ranger.

"Now that had to be easy," Jacqueline said, "Now let's make these Rangers evil."

Jacqueline raised her arms and dark red beams fired at the Rangers and each Ranger can feel a evil energy building up in them. "What is this?" Haley shouted.

"Submit Rangers, to your dark sides," Jacqueline said.

"Ayeyaiyai! The Rangers are in trouble!" Alpha said.

"Calm down Alpha," Zordon said, "We need to find a way to help the Rangers."

"But how!" Alpha said. Soon a beeping noise came from the controls, "Now what?"

Alpha pressed a few buttons to see that they got a message that said, "Send me my Morpher."

Back at Boardman High, the Rangers were still being held down by the Dark Putties. "Soon the world will be ours," Wolfbeast said.

Then two laser beams were fired at the two monsters, knocking them down.

And to the Rangers surprise, they saw the Shadow Ranger land right in front of them. "Z?" Paige asked.

"Yeah it's me," Z replied, "Sorry for leaving you guys. But now you guys need to summon the Light Power to get rid of those Putties." Then Z pulled out his javelin and sword and charged at the monsters.

The Rangers took Z's advice and started to concentrate on their Light Power. In a surge of energy the Rangers started to glow and that glow knocked the Putties off and destroyed them.

"We did it!" Emile shouted.

"The Putties are destroyed!" Brittany added.

"Now let's stop these monsters!" Tyler said as Z was knocked down by the monsters.

"Wait guys," Z said, "That female monster is human."

"We know," Chris said.

"But the human part is trying to regain control, we need to help her," Z explained.

"How?" Jon asked.

"One of us need to guide her with the light," Z said.

"I'll do it," Emile said as he ran towards Jacqueline Hyde. While the others went to fight Wolfbeast. "Hey listen! You're not a monster!"

Jacqueline punched Emile but he caught the monster. "You're human, you have to take control!" Emile shouted as he started to glow, "Think of what you wanted to do!"

Jacqueline stopped trying to attack and said, "I do know," in May's voice.

The Jacqueline Hyde grabbed her head and screamed. Then Jacqueline Hyde and May Jackman split and flew in different directions.

"Hey you okay?" Emile asked.

"Power Rangers? I'm a lucky girl," May replied.

"Stay here and we will finish this," Emile said as he got to the other Rangers.

"What have you done to me!" Jacqueline shouted.

"It's your demise!" Tyler shouted, "Formation!"

"One!" Z and Brittany shouted as they stood next to each other.

"Two!" Emile and Haley shouted as they stood next to each other.

"Three!" Chris and Paige shouted as they stood next to each other.

"Four!" Tyler and Jon shouted as they stood next to each other.

"Power Cannon!" the Rangers shouted as the Power Cannon landed on the Rangers shoulders, then they placed their hands on their colored panels.

"We'll meet again Rangers," Wolfbeast said as he teleported away.

"Fire!" the Rangers shouted as the cannon fired a golden ball of energy at Jacqueline Hyde.

"NOOOOO!" she shouted as she fell to the ground and exploded.

"No! How do the Rangers keep beating our monsters!" Rita shouted.

"It's the Shadow Ranger, if it wasn't for him we could of won," Thrax stated.

Back at Boardman High, the Rangers sneaked back into school where their Communicator went off. "What is it Zordon?" Tyler answered.

"Congratulations on your victory today Rangers," Zordon said, "Today marks the first step in mastering the Light Power. With this you can stand up to the Dark Putties or any monsters infused with a Dark Jewels."

"Thank you Zordon," Tyler said.

"So Z, what made you become a Ranger again?" Paige asked.

"Well I was watching you guy fight those monsters and how you were about to lose. It made me realized that I still need to be a Rangerto help you guys out," Z explained.

"Well it's great to have the team back together," Chris said.

The Rangers arrived at the main hall to see police officers take May away in handcuffs. "What's going on?" Emile asked.

"That girl is being placed under arrest for being a monster," a student replied.

"How? She was a victim in Zedd and Rita's plan!" Paige pointed out.

"It all the P.A.R. They say that these people who are involved with the Ranger are dangerous and should be placed in jail," another student explained.

"This is crazy," Tyler said, "Scratch that the P.A.R. are crazy."

A/N: Sorry for the wait I was working on a research paper. I like to thank J.W. Appel for the monster idea.
