Chapter 53: Golden Opportunity
On a planet far away from Earth, there was a massive attack on it. People were running from figure in black armor. "Gold Ranger! Come out and fight me!" it shouted as it fired beams at a building destroying it.
In a large building a man pulled out a golden box and opened it to reveal the Golden Power Staff. Then an elderly man entered the room, "Trey, what are you doing here? You should be ready to escape," he said.
"There is no way that I would run from this," Trey replied as he got the Power Staff ready.
Then the wall behind the two exploded and the figure attack walked in. It noticed the Power Staff in Trey's hands and said, "Trey of Triforia we meet at last."
"What do you want?" Trey said.
"I'm here for the Golden Power Staff," the figure replied, "If you hand it over to me, then I would leave your planet alone."
"No," Trey said as he got back up, "I rather fight you instead of surrendering the staff to the likes of you."
"Trey don't," the old man said, "He is too powerful for you to fight."
"You should listen to the old man," the figure said, "You don't have a chance against me alone."
Then the figure fired a beam at Trey knocking him down. "Trey, we got your escape ready," the man said, "In the back there is a pod to help you escape. Please Trey, you cannot let evil take the Golden Staff."
"Okay," Trey said as he fired balls of energy at the figure creating small explosions to blind the figure. Trey made a run for the escape pod set up for him. Once he got to the pod he got in and strapped himself in and the pod got itself ready for launch.
The figure was outside and saw five pods leaving the planet, "Curses, he escaped with the Golden Staff!" it said, "No matter this is only a delay for my revenge."
On Earth, it was the new year and Rangers were back at school and also waiting for another attack by Zedd and Rita. Six of the Rangers were walking out of Chorale practice and heading to lunch.
"Hey guys," the Rangers turned to see Aref with some papers in his hand, "I think one of you guys forgot these papers."
"Those might be mine," Chris said.
"What are they?" Paige asked.
"Well…" Chris started as he leaned closer, "I got curious of some of the things that other Rangers did so Alpha print out some of archives of the stuff that the previous Rangers went though."
"Like what?" Emile asked.
"Well like what happens to the monsters after they were destroyed," Chris started to explain, "All monsters go to a place called the Shadow World which is like their version of Hell. And according to the Lightspeed Rescue archive, that they tossed Queen Banshira in the Shadow World to stop her."
The Rangers got curious at what Chris brought and he let them barrow some of the papers.
In the reaches of space, Trey's escape pod arrived at a watery world known as Aquatar. He arrived in the lair of the Alien Rangers.
"Trey!" Dolphine said as she and Cestro rushed to Trey's side, "What happened?"
"My planet, was under attack," Trey said, "My people thought it would be better that I escape instead of fighting the monster. It needs to be stopped, but I don't know how."
"We understand," Cestro said, "Dolphine, do you think it would be best to contact the Earth and see if there is anyone who can help."
"I agree," Dolphine replied as she walked over to a screen, "This is Dolphine of Aquatar, if there is anyone connected to the Morphing Grid, please respond.
At the Command Center, the computers showed that someone was contacting them. "Zordon, it seems that there is message from Aquatar," Alpha said.
"Do you know who it's for?"Zordon asked.
"Well it seems like it's open for anyone to answer," Alpha replied, "Should I put on the viewing globe?"
"Yes Alpha," Zordon said. Alpha pressed a few buttons and Dalphine appeared on the viewing globe, "Aquatar this is Zordon, do you read me?"
"Zordon? That's impossible, Zordon was destroyed years ago," Delphine replied.
"I know that it's hard to believe but we have no time to explain of my return," Zordon said, "What has happened?"
"Trey of Triforia has landed here to flee from an evil that was attacking his world for his Gold Ranger Power," Delphine answered.
"If this evil is after Trey's Power, then it would be wise to send Trey to Earth where the new team of Power Rangers would be able to help," Zordon suggested.
"I agree," Dolphine said, "It would be safer for Trey to stay on Earth until this evil is vanquished. We'll get everything ready to send Trey to Earth."
"Okay, we'll get in contact with the Power Rangers and let them know of the situation," Zordon said.
On the moon, without their son, Zedd and Rita had to figure out new ways to defeat the Power Ranger. "What could we use to defeat those Power Rangers?" Rita asked.
"Well it needs to be something that the Rangers can't handle," Zedd said.
Then Gear Master walked into the throne room, "Lord Zedd, I have something that might interest you," he said.
"Does it have anything to do with Serpentera?" Zedd asked.
"No sir, but I think you would like to know that a power is heading for Earth," Gear Master said, "A power that belongs to the Gold Ranger, Trey."
"Trey? That fool is returning to Earth?" Zedd said as he looked around and found Trey's pod. "He is probably heading to Zordon. But not if I have a say in it." Zedd raised his staff and fired lightning at the pod. The power from the lightning changed the direction of the pod, sending it to crash in a middle of a dessert.
"Ayeyaiyai! Trey's pod crashed in a dessert!" Alpha panicked.
"Alpha, are the Rangers out of school yet?" Zordon asked.
"They should be, I'll try to contact them," Alpha said as he pressed a few buttons, "Rangers, can you hear me? We got an emergency!"
Soon Tyler replied, "What's going on? What happened?"
"An old ally of the Power Rangers had crash landed in a dessert, we need you to go to his location and bring him back," Zordon explained.
"Okay Zordon," Tyler said.
The Rangers arrived at the area where Trey crashed. "Come on guys," Tyler said as he led the Rangers to the damaged pod.
"It looks too damaged to move ourselves," Brittany stated, "It should be easier if we morph."
"Agree," Tyler said, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
Then a bunch of Dark Putties appeared at the crash site. "Great just what we needed," Chris said as the Rangers got ready to fight.
"You guys take care of the Putties, Jon and I will help Trey," Tyler said.
"Right!" the other Rangers said as the charged at the Putties.
A Putty tried to kick Chris, but he caught it and tripped the Putty making it land on a cactus.
Two Putties grabbed Haley's arms and started to kick her. Haley started to spin making the Putties lose their grip and let go.
Z jumped over a Putty and kicked it. When he landed more Putties grappled on to him. He tried to shake them off but was no use.
"Z!" Paige shouted as she pulled her Blaster and fired it hitting the Putties off of Z.
"Thanks Paige," Z said.
"No problem," Paige replied as she and Z went back to the fight.
Emile slid in the dirt, going underneath a Putty. He jumped to his feet and punched the same Putty's Z-Emblem.
Brittany had her Blaster out firing at the Putties and then kicked a Putty that was charging at her to more Putties.
During the fight, Tyler and Jon were prying Trey's pod. Little by little the metal was bending until Trey was able to get out, "Thank you Rangers," he said.
Before Tyler or Jon can say something, Z ran up to them and said, "Tyler, Jon, I think it's time to use the Light Power to finish off these Putties."
Tyler and Jon nodded and the two went to join the other Rangers.
The Rangers charged the Light Power in their hands and fired beams of light, in their colors, at the Putties destroying them.
"Okay guys, let's power down," Tyler said as he and the other Rangers demorphed back to normal.
"You're Zordon's new Power Rangers," Trey said.
"That's right," Tyler replied.
"I need your help," Trey said.
"We already know about what's going on," Emile said.
"Not only that," Trey replied as he started to glow and soon there was three Trey's. "I need you to find someone to temporally give my powers to."
Back on the moon, Zedd was furious at his Putties' failure. "Those Putties are worthless; they can't get a Ranger trapped in a pod."
"If you want my lord, Scorpina, Rito, and I can go to Earth to get the Gold Ranger," Goldar suggested.
"Right now, Trey's unity has been broken and would need to find someone else to pass his powers to," Zedd explained, "We just need to per sway the Rangers to give the Golden Power to us."
"I'm ahead of you Lord Zedd," Gear Master said as he walked into the room with a robot in a green cloak and a red metal top hat, "Meet one of my earlier weapons, Weapon 103, Trap Master."
At the Command Center, Trey was explaining what happened. "So you couldn't preserve unity anymore and divided into these being known as Trey of Heart, Trey of Courage, and Trey of Wisdom," Emile recapped.
"Correct," Trey of Wisdom replied, "Now we need to find someone so we can temporally transfer our power to them."
"Who could we use?" Haley asked.
"Anyone who you can trust with our power," Trey of Courage answered.
"But you must hurry, for the Golden Power will fade away," Trey of Heart added.
"So who should we chose?" Chris asked his fellow Rangers.
"I have an idea," Tyler said, "I'll be back." Then Tyler teleported out of there.
At school, Aref was walking out of the theater. "Aref!" he turned to see Tyler running towards him.
"Hey Tyler, what's up?" Aref asked.
"Aref, we need your help at the Command Center," Tyler answered.
"What's going on?" Aref asked again.
Tyler leaned in and whispered, "We need you receive the Gold Ranger Power."
"Me as a Ranger?" Aref said.
"Well I can't explain it all right now, but Trey will once we get to the Command Center," Tyler said.
"Okay," Aref replied as he followed Tyler outside.
As the two walked outside they were hit by something and before they know it they were tied to a stone column. Then Goldar, Scorpina, Rito, Trap Master, and a bunch of Cogs appeared in front of them, "Hello White Ranger," Goldar greeted.
"Goldar!" Tyler said, "Doesn't surprise me that Zedd would not give up on getting the Golden Power."
"With this plan White Ranger, Zordon will han the Golden Power to us," Scorpina said as Goldar put a device on the ground and pressed a few buttons.
Back at the Command Center, the Rangers were waiting for Tyler's return. "I hope Tyler is okay," Jon said.
"Alpha can we check on them?" Z asked.
"I'll try," Alpha said as he pressed the button on the controls and a image of the situation at the high school. "Ayeyaiyai! Tyler and Aref are in trouble!"
"Can't you teleport them here?" Brittany asked.
"It seems that they placed a barrier to make sure no one can teleport in or out," Zordon said.
"Then we'll teleport outside the barrier and rush in to save them," Jon said as the other Rangers agreed to the plan, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
The Rangers arrived at the school and charged in to rescue their friends. Trap Master noticed the coming Rangers, "Right on time. Cogs attack!"
Then the Cogs charged at the Rangers.
Emile saw a Cog coming at him, he bent down as it lunged at him and grabbed its leg and tossed it to another Cog.
Chris pulled out his Power Lance and stabbed it though a Cog then used the Cog to knock other Cogs out of the way to get to Tyler and Aref.
Haley was the first ones to reach her friends, "You guys okay?" she asked.
"We're good," Tyler replied.
Haley then pulled out her Power Daggers and cut the rope. "Run guys, we'll take care of these Cogs," she said.
"Right," Tyler and Aref replied as they started to run away from the fight.
"Stop them!" Trap Master shouted.
Two Cogs opened their helmets and fired beams at the two, but Tyler and Aref dropped to the ground making the Cogs hit each other and other Cogs.
"Let's go!" Tyler said as he and Aref got back up and continued to they were able to run out of the barrier and were teleported to the Command Center.
"Never send Cogs to do a Weapon's job," Trap Master said.
"What do we do now that Tyler and his friend are gone?" Rito asked.
"What else, destroy the Power Rangers," Trap Master said as he fired a net from under its clock and caught Emile.
"You think a net can hold me?" Emile said.
Z quickly rushed over with the Shadow Saber and tried to cut the net, but nothing happened. "My materials are made of tuff alloy that is impossible to break," Trap Master explained as cuffs and chain fried out of the ground and caught Z's wrist and pulled him towards the ground.
Tyler and Aref arrived at the Command Center where Trey was waiting for them. "You're back, and this must be the person to take my Gold Ranger power," Trey of Courage said.
"Yes Trey, but I have to get back to the others," Tyler said.
"Good luck out there," Aref said as Tyler teleported out of there.
"Aref," Zordon called out. Aref turn to face him, "By doing this you are taking a huge responsibility."
"I understand Zordon," Aref replied.
Back at the fight, the Rangers were doing anything to avoid Trap Master's traps. Trap Master removed his hat and fired a cannon ball at the Rangers. The explosion knocked the Rangers to the ground.
"Hey stupid!" Trap Master turned to see Tyler, morphed, firing his blaster at the Weapon.
Haley and Jon quickly rushed over and grabbed Trap Master's arm. "Nice try Rangers," Trap Master said as cuffs came out of his sleeves and locked onto their wrist, then a chain fired and dragged them away at and attached to the school walls, "Now you White Ranger." Trap Master opened his cloak and a punching glove came out and hit Tyler sending him flying to a nearby tree, where Tyler was snagged by the legs and pulled him up upside down.
"Looks like just the three of us left," Brittany said.
"We have to stop this Weapon," Paige added.
Then out of nowhere metal pole emerge from the ground and surrounded the three Ranger and trapping them in an energy field.
"Now we got the Rangers where we want them," Trap Master said.
"Can't believe that Gear Master didn't activate you earlier," Rito said.
Back at the Command Center, the transfer was starting with Trey of Courage holding the Golden Power Staff toward Aref. "I, Trey of Courage, give forth the sprit and fortitude of the Golden Power possesses."
"And I, Trey of Heart, embrace you, Aref of Earth, with the kindness and empathy the Power holds."
"And I, Trey of Wisdom, place in your hands the knowledge and experience of my people of Triforia, use it well."
Aref took a deep breath and took the staff. And Aref started to glow and in a quick flash, he was in a black Power suit and helmet with and gold armor, he was the new Gold Zeo Ranger. "Wow, this is incredible!" Aref said.
"You now possess the power drawn from all three of my essences," Trey of Heart said," May they aid and protect you in the future."
"Thank you, I will not disappoint you," Aref replied.
"Aref, your friends need your help," Zordon said, "Alpha will teleport you there."
"I'm ready for this," Aref said as he teleported out of there.
"Now Zordon will have no choose but to give us the Golden Power to save his Power Rangers," Trap Master stated.
"Don't count on it!" Aref shouted.
"Looks like Zordon got a Gold Ranger," Scorpina said.
"Hey kid make it easy for us and just surrender," Rito said.
"If you do, I'll release your friends," Trap Master finished.
"I won't surrender!" Aref said, "I'll defeat you and save everyone else!"
"Too bad, Cogs attack!" Trap Master shouted.
The Cogs started to surround Aref with spears in hand. Three Cogs attacked, but Aref block the attack and tossed them away.
"Let's kick it up a notch!" Aref said as he pulled out the Power Staff and charged at the Cogs, knocking them to the side and went for Trap Master.
"Let's see you escape my traps," Trap Master said as he fired a net at Aref, but he dodged it and attacked the Weapon.
Then chain saws came out of the Trap Master's cloak and went after Aref, but he blocked it with the staff.
"Give up Gold Ranger!" Trap Master shouted.
"I won't give up," Aref said as the staff opened up, "It's time to end this fight!"
Aref raised the Golden Power Staff and energy was gathering at the top, then he fired balls of energy at Trap Master.
The balls of energy hit Trap Master. He started to short circuit before he exploded.
The traps that held the Rangers disappeared. "We'll be back!" Goldar shouted as the villains disappeared.
"You did well out there Aref," Tyler complemented.
"Didn't know you had it in you," Emile said.
"Thanks guys," Aref said.
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were staring at Gear Master, waiting for something. "Aren't you going to use the auto repair?" Rita asked.
"It was an earlier Weapon, I never had master auto repair and overdrive," Gear Master explained.
"Then the Weapon was failure from the start! And now we must deal with nine Rangers!" Zedd shouted.
"Eight Rangers gave me a headache, but nine gives me a migraine!" Rita complained.
At the Command Center, the Rangers were saying goodbye to Trey. "I heard that the evil that attacked my planet left to find the Golden Power," Trey of Courage said, "I must return so that I can reunite my essences."
"So Trey, do I get to command the Zord you have?" Aref asked.
"I'm sorry, but I believe it would be safer not to send Pyramidas, for the evil that attacked my planet would follow it here," Trey of Wisdom explained.
"And I believe you are not ready yet to face this evil," Trey of Heart said.
"I think we handle anything thrown at us," Jon said.
"We know," Trey of Wisdom replied, "But I believe soon you'll be ready to fight this evil."
"Goodbye Rangers, until we meet again," Trey of Courage said as he and the other essence of Trey teleported out of there.
The next day at school, the students were talking about the new Ranger, and some of the students even pointed out that it was the Gold Zeo Ranger.
"Hey Aref, enjoying being a Ranger?" Jullian said.
"It cool," Aref said, "Can't wait for Zedd and Rita to attack again."
"Well just in case you get over your head in trouble Alpha made a new Communicator for you," Brittany said as she pulled out a Communicator.
"Thanks, I'm glad to be part of the team," Aref said as he strapped the new Communicator to his wrist.
In a spacecraft in another part of a galaxy, the figure in black armor was looking for the Gold Ranger. "You may have escaped me Trey, but I will find you and have my revenge," it said as a yellow glow came from its eye, "You don't know that the scum of the galaxy would do anything for money or power."
A/N: Here is the new chapter, I hope you enjoy this idea of having the Gold Ranger as a temporally Ranger. Try to take guesses on the villain who is after the Gold Ranger's power.
