Chapter 54: Fire and Ice

On the moon, Finster was working on a new model for a monster. "Finster! Rita screeched as she entered the shop, "Finster I need a monster! And not just any monster, a monster to capture that Gold Ranger!" she demanded.

"Well Rita, I'm working on a new monster that should be able to defeat the Power Rangers," Finster replied.

"And I want the Gold Ranger captured so we can have his power," Rita added.

"Very well," Finster said, "I'll have this monster ready by tonight."

At the high school, the students were leaving the school and were getting ready for their semester finals. "Finally the semester is over," Chris said.

"You shouldn't be celebrating yet Chris," Julian stated, "You still have to finish the test tomorrow and Friday."

"It will be easy," Chris replied.

"What about…Zedd and Rita?" Julian asked.

"What do you mean?" Paige asked.

"You know they always plan something while something important is about to happen," Julian explained.

"Really?" Jon asked.

"Well, we should be careful just in case," Brittany said.

Later on the moon, Rita marched back into Finster's shop. "Finster, what's taking so long with that monster! The Rangers are wide open for an attack!" Rita shouted.

"I'm sorry my queen, but I finally completed my latest monster," Finster said as he presented a clay model of a monster, "This is Heating Frost, a monster with the power of fire and ice."

"Fire and ice?" Rita said, "That's a stupid monster!"

"Please Rita, just give it a chance," Finster said as he place the model on the conveyer belt and pulled the lever.

The Monster Maker did its work as soon at the end a humanoid monster that had light blue and red colors swirled around its body. The blue color cover its right are and red color cover its left arm. Half its head was blue and the other half is red. And the last design of the monster was ice spikes on the blue areas of its shoulder and head and flames on the red areas of its shoulders and head. "Heating Frost has come to destroy all that is good!" it shouted.

"Rita, did Finster finish that monster of his?" Zedd asked as he entered the shop.

"I'm right here Lord Zedd," Heating Frost answered, "And I'm ready to destroy the Power Rangers. And I know what to do to relieve them of their school work."

Heating Frost teleported out of there. "Now the Rangers won't need to worry about their finals now," Zedd said as he and Rita left the shop.

"Only if that monster succeeds in its plan," Rita added.

Night time on Earth Heating Frost arrived to the streets of Boardman, "Well if I'm going to fight the Power Rangers, I need to get the battle field ready," it said as he fired a ice beam at the streets.

The next morning at Tyler's house, Tyler was up and getting ready for school, until he heard a crash outside. He rushed to his window and saw that there was a car crash not far from his house. Tyler quickly turned on the TV to see a news report.

"This is just baffling storm that hit us though the night," the male newscaster said, "The weather man cannot figure out where and when the ice came from but suspect that it could be the work of Zedd and Rita.

As Tyler was watch the news, he heard his Communicator go off in his room. He rushed upstairs to answered his Communicator. "What is it Zordon?" Tyler asked.

"Tyler, you and the other Rangers must come to the Command Center at once," Zordon said.

"Okay," Tyler said as he teleported out of his room.

At the Command Center, the Rangers arrived to know what is going on. "Rangers, sorry for contacting you this early but it seems that Zedd and Rita's new monster slip though our radar and create havoc in Boardman," Zordon explained.

"What kind of monster are we dealing with now?" Aref asked.

"Turn to the viewing globe," Zordon said. The Rangers turned around to see Heating Frost in the globe, "This is Heating Frost, a monster with the power of fire and ice."

"Fire and ice? How can it do that without doing harm to itself?" Emile asked.

"Who knows," Tyler said, "But we have to stop this monster. It's Morphin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

"Gold Ranger Power!"

The Rangers arrived at the mall where the monster covered the parking lot with ice. "Ah the Power Rangers have arrived," Heating Frost said.

"Well Heating Frost, we'll never ignore an attack from monsters like you," Tyler replied as skate blades appeared at the bottom of the Rangers' boots.

"Well get ready for and ice fight Rangers," Heating Frost said as Dark Putties appeared by his side.

The Ranger started to skate towards the Putties, while the Putties were having a hard time trying to walk on the ice.

Chris, Emile, Z, and Aref tackled some of the Putties as the others kicked the Putties with their blades.

The Rangers were easily over throwing the Putties which was upsetting Heating Frost. "Time to bring the heat!" it shouted as fire came out of the red arm and melt the ice, making the Rangers fall to the ground.

"Nice try," Aref said as he pulled out the Golden Staff, "Your mine!"

"Just what I wanted!" Heating Frost shouted as ice hit the water turning it to ice trapping the Rangers legs in the ice. "Now that you fools are trap in the ice, I'm going to take what Zedd and Rita wants."

Heating Frost started to freeze Aref. Once he was fully frozen, he, Heating Frost, and the Putties disappeared.

Once the monster and Putties were gone, the ice on the Rangers' legs disappeared. "Great, they got Aref now," Brittany said.

"Let's return to the Command Center and figure this out," Tyler said as the other Ranger agreed with him and teleported out of there.

In the Dark Dimension, Heating Frost arrived to Zedd and Rita and their three goons. "You actually caught the Gold Ranger," Rita said in disbelief.

"It was a piece of cake," Heating Frost said.

"Now we just take the Golden Power Staff," Rito said as he grabbed the staff and started to pull, but it wouldn't nudge.

"You idiot! It's frozen in his hand!" Zedd shouted, "We need to thaw his hand first."

"Leave it to me," Heating Frost said only to be stop be Zedd.

"We need to do this carefully," Zedd said as a Grow Grenade appeared in his hand and gave it to Heating Frost, "You keep the Rangers busy for now and use the Grow Grenade as a last resort."

"I'm on it!" Heating Frost shouted as it teleported out of there.

At the Command Center, the Rangers were helping Alpha to find Aref. "Any luck?" Chris asked.

"Nope," Haley replied.

"Nothing," Emile added.

"Where could he be?" Paige said.

"I'm sure that he is fine," Alpha replied, "He was frozen. So if they want the staff they have to defrost him slowly so he doesn't break free."

"He right Rangers," Zordon said, "Since Aref is frozen, they'll need to be careful or he could escape. And the thick ice would take awhile to go though, giving us time to find him."

Then the alarms started to go off, "Great trouble," Jon said.

"It's Heating Frost, he's back for round 2," Alpha said.

"You guys should take care of this monster. I'll stay here and help Alpha find Aref," Z said.

"Good idea," Tyler said, "Back to action!"

Back at the mall, the Rangers arrived to fight the monster again. "Ready for round 2 Rangers?" it said.

"Maybe you should give up and tell us where Aref is," Tyler commanded.

"Not a chance Ranger!" Heating Frost shouted as it tossed balls of fire and ice at the Rangers.

The Rangers dodged to the side and Paige, Haley, and Brittany fired their Blasters at the monster, hitting it.

Emile and Jon took this chance to kick the monster to the ground. "That's cheap!" Heating Frost shouted before it used its fire to knock Emile and Jon away. "Now I think you guys should chill out," it said as it fired an ice beam at the Rangers.

The Rangers got out of the way. When the Rangers got out of the way but Heating Frost slammed its hands making fire and ice spikes head to where the Rangers landed and made an explosion that knocked the Rangers down.

"What should we do now?" Chris asked.

"You guys should use your Blasters and I'll try to strike him with my sword," Tyler said.

"Okay," the other six Rangers agreed as the pulled out their blasters and fired them at the monster making it raise its arms to block the beams.

Tyler got behind the monster used his sword and slashed it down on Heating Frost.

Heating Frost had the Grow Grenade in its hand. "Now I think it's time to take it up another notch!" Heating Frost said as it pulled the small ball of and slammed it to the ground, which caused a giant vent of steam that caused Heating Frost to grow into a giant.

"We call upon the power of the Shinning Zords!"

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

Then 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.

"Now, I'll finally destroy you Rangers," Heating Frost said as its ice became a shield and its fire hand extended and became a flaming sword.

Back at the Command Center, Alpha and Z were happy to finally find Aref. "The Dark Dimension, it was so obvious," Z said, "I'm going to get Aref out of there."

"Be careful Z," Zordon started, "Zedd, Rita, and their minions are with Aref."

"Don't worry Zordon, I'll get Aref and get out of there," Z said as he teleported out of there.

In the Dark Dimension, Zedd was using his his power to slowly melt the ice off of Aref's hand that help the Power Staff. "Finally, soon we will have the Gold Ranger's power," he said.

"And with his power we can destroy the Power Rangers from within," Goldar added.

Then a few beams flew though the air and hit the ground near the villains freaking them out.

"Sorry, but the Gold Ranger's power isn't meant for you," Z said as he landed near Aref.

"You cursed Shadow Ranger! How dare you come to MY dimension!" Zedd shouted as Z used his Blaster and fired it at Aref breaking the ice off of him.

"You okay?" Z asked.

Aref was shivering and replied, "I'm fine, just cold."

"Get them you fools!" Zedd shouted.

Rito jumped towards the two Rangers, only to miss when they teleported away, "Damn," Rito mumbled.

Back at the fight, the Megazord slashed its sword at Heating Frost, only to have it blocked back the monster's shield and countered by its sword.

The Megazord tried again, but Heating Frost blocked it with its sword this time and then kicked the Megazord to the ground.

"Damn! he blocks and counters each of our attack," Emile said.

"Maybe we should concentrate on destroying the shield, which should leave Heating Frost wide open," Paige suggested.

"Then let's do it," Tyler said as the Megazord got back up.

"Give up Power Rangers!" Heating Frost shouted as it charged at the Megazord. The Megazord stepped to the side to dodge the attack and swung its sword at the shield, cracking it. "What are you up to?" Heating Frost asked.

As Heating Frost was distracted, the Megazord used its might to stab the shield, destroying it. "Ahh, my arm!"

"Here is our chance guys, let's finish this," Tyler said.

"Right," the other Rangers agreed.

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 Heating Frost.

Heating Frost started to scream as it fell to the ground and exploded.

After the battle, the Rangers returned to see the progress on finding Aref. They were surprised to see that Aref was back and wrapped in blankets. "You okay?" Haley asked.

"Yeah j-j-just a little c-c-cold," Aref replied.

"Aref will be alright," Zordon said, "Alpha gave him medicine so that he doesn't get sick."

"My second f-fight, and I get captured be Zedd and Rita," Aref said.

"And this is only the beginning," Tyler replied.

A/N: Sorry for the wait, but I'm starting to run out of monster ideas, if you have an idea please submit one.
