Chapter 48: Snow Day Phantom

During the night in Boardman, a snow storm was passing by. The end result was a blanket of snow thought out Boardman the next day, meaning that schools were canceled. While the students were enjoying their day off. As for the Rangers they took this time to master their Light Power at the Command Center.

The Rangers were in the chamber meditating. Each Ranger's, other than Z, hands and feet were glowing in their color, while Z's hand and feet had a dark aura. In between the Rangers' hands was a small ball of energy.

"Well Rangers," Alpha said as he entered the chamber, "Zordon said that you are getting the hang of controlling the Light Power and would like to see you in the Power Chamber."

"Okay," Tyler said as he and the other Rangers followed Alpha.

In the Power Chamber, Zordon greeted the Rangers. "Rangers, I am proud of how far you came to master the Light Power."

"We were surprised that something like this was in us," Brittany said.

"Just remember this is just the beginning, there is much more to do," Zordon explained.

"We're ready Zordon," Jon said.

"Very well. The next part is to be able to use the power to fire balls of energy," Zordon said.

On the moon, Finster was experimenting on different clays in cold environment. "Finster!" Rita shouted as she entered the workshop, "Do you have any progress on how to make sure that the putties don't freeze?"

"Why yes my queen," Finster said, "I took regular clay, super clay, and the clay that makes the Z-Putties and tested them in the cold."

"And what happened?" Rita demanded to know.

"All the Putties were frozen and broke apart," Finster replied.

"So our Putties are useless!" Rita shouted.

"Not quite," Finster said as a Dark Putties emerge from a large cooler, "Dark Putties are resistant to the cold.

"Perfect," Rita replied with an evil smile.

At the Command Center, the Rangers were focusing on use their Light Power into an energy attack. "Guys you are doing it," Z complemented. Then the blaring alarm interrupted them, "Of course, Zedd and Rita won't take a snow day as well."

The Rangers rushed to the Power Chamber to see Alpha panicking. "Ayeyaiyai! Zedd and Rita unleashed Dark Putties!" he shouted.

"Rangers," Zordon started, "This is a chance to use what Light Power you know. Good Luck and may the Power protect you."

"It's Mophin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

The Rangers arrived at the snow cover field where the Dark Putties were at. "Okay guys, remember to concentrate the Light Power," Tyler said.

"Right!" the other Rangers responded as they charged at the Putties.

Jon jump kicked a Putty, hitting its Z-Emblem. The Putty turned into a dark mist the dissipated quickly. "That's new," Jon said.

Two Dark Putties grabbed Paige arms, but Paige used all of her might to bash the Putties together and punched them in the Z-Emblem, destroying them both.

Emile and Haley pulled out their Light Javelins and fended off the Putties. Haley jumped on Emile's shoulder, as Emile tossed his Javelin to Haley. Both Javelins were glowing as she tossed them at a group of Putties, piercing each one and destroying them.

Z's aura covered hands were going though the Putties and pulling out a piece of the Dark Jewel and destroying each one, which also destroys the Putties.

Chris and Brittany were surrounded few a few Putties, "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Brittany asked.

"Sure am," Chris replied as he bend forward a bit letting Brittany lay on his back. Chris started to spin around and Brittany was kicking any Putties that was getting closer.

Tyler had his Power Sword out and was cutting though the Putties. "Looks like the Light Power makes the fight with guys easier," Tyler thought out loud.

Soon there were a few Dark Putties left, "Let's finish this with the energy attack!" Tyler commanded.

"Right!" the other Rangers agreed.

The Rangers fired beams of light, but Z fired a dark ball, at the Putties and only one was destroyed.

"What happened?" Emile asked.

"Looks like, it wasn't strong enough," Z stated, "Don't worry I'll take care of the others." Z charged up the Dark Power in his hand and fired multiple dark balls at the Dark Putties, turning them all into a dark mist that quickly dissipated.

"Now that's been taken care of, let's return to the Command Center," Tyler said as he and the other Rangers teleported away.

"How did the Rangers beat the Dark Putties!" she shouted, "I thought they were trouble for the Rangers!"

"It seems the Rangers learned a few new tricks," Zedd said, "We need a monster."

"How about a demon?" Darkseid suggested.

Zedd turned to the shadowy figure, "And what demon do you have in mind?"

"A demon know as Frost Phantom came to this planet during an Ice Age and right now he should be in Antarctica," Darkseid explained.

"Very well, we'll pay a visit to this Frost Phantom," Zedd said as he and Rita teleported out of the throne room.

In an ice cave, with bones laying around, in Antarctica, Zedd and Rita arrived. "What kind of a creature want to live here?" Rita asked.

"Who dares enter my cave!" a voice shouted.

"You must be Frost Phantom," Zedd said, "I am Lord Zedd, Darkseid told us about you."

"Her Highness is here?" the voice asked.

"Well she is a spirit now, but she suggested you to help us destroy the Power Rangers," Rita said.

"Very well," Frost Phantom said as he appeared in front of Zedd and Rita. He was a dark blue yeti with a white silver armor, "I'll help depending on the location's climate."

"Don't worry it is winter where the Rangers are at," Zedd said.

At the Command Center, the Rangers were telling Zordon of what happened. "Well Rangers it seems that with you mastering the Light Power reduced the Dark Putties powers," he said, "This is great processes that will aid you to truly defeat Darkseid."

"Zordon," Tyler started, "The other Rangers and I were wondering, how do you know the Dawn Rangers?"

"I knew that you will ask me that question," Zordon said. Before he can continue the blaring alarm was going off.

"Oh no, a demon had appeared in Boardman!" Alpha panicked, "Ayeyaiyai! I can't pinpoint it!"

"It must be Frost Phantom," Zordon stated, "This is a demon unlike any other Rangers, be careful and may the Power protect you."

"Alright Zordon" Tyler said, "Back to action!"

The Rangers arrived at the park. "Okay guys be on guard," Tyler said.

Out of nowhere, the Rangers were knocked down by something. "What hit us?" Paige asked.

Chris looked around and spotted an object in a nearby tree, he walked over and pulled it out. "I think we were hit by these icicles," he said.

Then Frost Phantom appeared behind and punched to the snowy ground. "Chris!" Haley shouted.

"I'm okay," Chris announced. Soon he felt something grab his legs then started to pull him away till he was out of the other Rangers' sights.

"How did that demon do that?" Jon asked.

"Simple!" Frost Phantom shouted as he appeared in front of the Rangers, "I'm the master of the snow and ice!"

Z and Emile got their weapons out and charged and attacked the demon, but the weapons bounce off the demon. "Is that supposed to hurt?" Frost Phantom asked. He grabbed the two Rangers and dragged them though the snow making them disappear.

"What are you doing to our friends?" Brittany demanded.

"Zedd and Rita gave me the ability to teleport myself and anyone else to my lair," Frost Phantom answered as he disappeared in the snow.

"Return them Right now!" Haley shouted.

"How about I take you instead," Frost Phantom as he reappeared behind Haley and Brittany and grabbed them and disappeared in the snow.

"Okay, this is annoying," Jon said.

"I agree," Paige added, "Tyler are you thinking what we're thinking?"

"I believe so," Tyler said as he pulled out the Metallic Relic, "White Metallic Power up!" Then Tyler's body started to glow and then he became the White Metallic Ranger.

Tyler pulled out his sword and swung it as fast as he could crating a gust of wind that blew the snow away revealing Frost Phantom. "How did you do that?" he asked.

Tyler didn't respond, he charged at Frost Phantom and stabbed him. But the demon was unharmed. "I see, you're invincible in the cold," Tyler said.

"That's right White Ranger," Frost Phantom said, "I like you and I feel grateful. I'll give you and the other two a chance to save your friends. Just find my lair and defeat me."

Frost Phantom turned into a small snow storm and flew off. "Zordon, we can't stop this demon," Tyler said.

"Come back to the Command Center," Zordon said, "Alpha and I modified an old device."

The three Rangers nodded and teleported away.

Rita was watching what was going on though her telescope, "Ha! Look at those Rangers run!" she said.

"This is perfect. There is no way that the Ranges can stop this demon," Zedd said.

Back at the Command Center, the three Rangers arrived. "What with that demon?" Jon started, "It can pop up out of nowhere and it can't get hurt."

"It is Frost Phantom's power," Zordon answered, "This demon was created in a different way than any other demons you fought so far."

"Is there a way to stop it?" Tyler asked.

"Well I was able to modify the Turbo Navigator," Alpha said.

"How will the Turbo Navigator help us? Paige asked.

"Because in its Defender Mode, I fitted it with a heat laser," Alpha answered.

"Since Frost Phantom is an ice demon, he'll be weak to high heat," Tyler stated.

"Correct Tyler," Zordon said.

"So where is Frost Phantom?" Tyler asked.

"We scanned the Earth for the other Rangers, they are in the Antarctic," Zordon said.

"And there we'll find Frost Phantom," Tyler stated as he took the Turbo Navigator and teleported out of there with Jon and Paige.

In Antarctica, the Rangers were following the Turbo Navigator to an ice cave. "Where can they be?" Jon said.

"Just a little bit further," Tyler replied.

"Look out!" Paige shouted as she and her fellow Rangers ducked and dodged a sword made of ice.

"You came Rangers," Frost Phantom's voice echoed.

"Frost Phantom!" Tyler shouted as Paige and Jon fired there Blasters into the cave.

"What are you aiming at?" Frost Phantom said as he appeared behind Paige and kicked her.

"Let's see you handle this," Tyler said as he turned the Turbo Navigator to its Defender Mode. "Locked on and fire!" A red beam fired from the gun and flew thought the cave until it hit something.

Oh! Hot1 Hot!" Frost Phantom shouted as he came out of his hiding spot.

"Perfect shot!" Jon said.

"Now let's get the others," Tyler said as he followed the Navigator. He soon came to a sheet of ice where the captured Rangers are frozen behind it. "Okay I'm heating the ice." Tyler fired a beam from the Navigator to the ice. Slowly the Rangers were defrost.

"God, and we complained about the cold in Ohio," Emile said.

"Are you guys okay?" Jon asked.

"We're fine," Chris replied.

"You may have your friends back." Everyone turned to face Frost Phantom, "You'll never stop me!" Frost Phantom slammed its fist to the ground causing the place to shake.

"It's going to cave in, we need to get out!" Paige stated.

The Rangers were running like crazy to get out of the cave, leaving behind Frost Phantom who was laughing crazily.

Once the Rangers were outside, the cave collapsed. Then the Rangers noticed ice rising into the air, they formed a humanoid shade. Then in a flash, the ice became a giant Frost Phantom. "Can your weapon effect me now!" he shouted.

"What I'd do for Dragon Zord's plasma beam," Tyler said.

"Frost Phantom is weak to heat right?" Z asked.

"Of course," Tyler replied.

"Let's summon our Zords then we'll take Frost Phantom elsewhere," Z explained.

The Rangers nodded in agreement, "We call upon the power of the Shinning Zords!"

Then in a bright flash the Shinning Zords appeared and were charging in.

"Come Ark, Ship of Darkness!"

Ark flew in from space.

The Rangers teleported to their cockpit of their Zords.

The Tiger Zord and Bull Zord's bodies started to fold in and the Tiger Zord attached on top of the Bull Zord.

The Griffin Zord and Cheetah Zord's bodies folded up and attached to the Bull Zord to form legs.

The Dolphin Zord and Horse Zord became arms and the Horse Zord head folded out and the a panel opened to show the Megazord's hand.

Then the Hawk Zord land on top and transformed into a head for the Megazord.

"You think your toy can stop me?" Frost Phantom said.

Ark hovered between Frost Phantom and the Megazord, "We were hoping to take you home," Z said as a cable was lowering from the Ark, "Guys grab on and get ready to grab the demon."

"Got it!" the Rangers confirmed.

The Megazord grabbed the cable and the Ark started to fly towards Frost Phantom, "What are you doing?" he shouted.

The Megazord grabbed Frost Phantom and they started to fly with Ark. "Engines at maximum power!" Z shouted as he pulled the lever making Ark fly faster until the cable detached from Ark, making the Megazord and Frost Phantom fall onto a green field.

"Where are we? And why is it hot?" Frost Phantom said.

"Welcome to Florida," Z said, "Guys, Ark is overheating. I'm going to pull out."

"Okay Z," Tyler said as Ark flew off.

The Megazord pulled out it's sword and started to attack Frost Phantom. "Hey this is no fair! I'm not in my element!"

Then the Megazord's sword started to glow in the seven colors.

Then the Megazord slashed its sword that made seven beams of energy that hit Frost Phantom.

"I can't lose!"Frost Phantom screamed as he started to ice then exploded into shrapnel.

"NOOOO! He had them in his hands and the Rangers still won!" Rita cried.

"Those cursed Power Rangers, They will never know what hit them next time," Zedd said.

The Rangers arrived back at the Command Center to see what Zordon wanted. "What is it Zordon?" Tyler asked.

"Rangers I feel like I should explain something to you," Zordon replied.

"Like what?" Brittany asked.

"Like how I know about the Dawn Rangers," Zordon said, "Turn to the viewing globe and I'll show you an archived footage of the start of the Dawn Rangers."

A/N: Sorry for the wait, I was busy with school work. I'll like to thank J.W. Appel for Frost Phantom. And yes the next chapter will be about the Dawn Rangers.
