Chapter 61: Criminal Rein

In space, outside of the solar system, a space ship was passing by and inside was a humanoid fish creature in dark blue armor and light blue scales with a shark's head piloting the ship. "Finally after all this time of searching, I found the meteorite with the Power Core," it said

Soon another space ship flew in and started to fire on the first ship. "Sharktor! Give me the meteorite!" a deep voice shouted.

Soon a large creature made of rocks appeared on the screen. It had two pairs of arms, one large pair and small pair. "Bouldrix! A lazy creature as yourself aren't worthy of this power!" Sharktor shouted back.

"I don't care! I'm going to sell it for the money!" Bouldrix shouted as it fired at Sharktor's ship. Unknowingly Bouldrix's lasers were loosening the strapped down meteorite. One blast then forced opened the hatch door to open and the meteorite flew out.

"You fool! You don't know what power like that can do!" Sharktor shouted as he steered the ship to follow the meteorite, but was stopped by Bouldrix.

"Hey that's my meteorite now!" Bouldrx shouted.

Unknown to the creatures the meteorite is on its way to Earth.


At Boardman High, the Rangers entered the school to see a bunch of students heading for the gym. "What's up?" Tyler said as he and the Rangers went to the gym to see a lot of the student body in the gym and to the Ranger's surprise, Ninjor was there.

"Who are the heroes?" Ninjor shouted.

"Power Rangers!" the students shouted back.

"Do you think they're bad!" Ninjor shouted.

"No!"

"What's going on?" Chris asked.

"It's simple," the Rangers turned to see their principle, "A lot of the students in the county support the Power Rangers and wanted to help in some way. Then Ninjor came and said if the schools in the county sign for a letter for the mayor of Angel Grove, who went through six years of Power Rangers, should come and help veto the bill."

"Wow, never thought that all these kids would support the Power Rangers," Paige said.

"Same here, I thought most of them would follow what their parents say," Haley added.

"I'm just surprised to see Ninjor doing something like this in public," Emile said.

"Shall we sign our names?" Brittany suggested.

Soon six women, in different colored business suits, entered the gym and were surprised at what they saw. "Who is in charge of this!" the woman in the white business suit shouted.

"I did," Ninjor announced as he walked over to the women, "The students have the rights to support the Power Rangers."

"They shouldn't support a bunch of criminals!" the woman shouted again.

"Why not?" Brittany asked.

"Yeah, we have the right to free speech just like you guys," Jon said.

"Just because some of us can't vote yet, doesn't mean that we can have you decide in what we believe in," Aref said.

"Do you know who you are talking to?" the woman asked, "I am Tonya Zednik, the founder of Parents Against Rangers. And these are the chairmen of the group," Tonya pointed to a black woman in the red suit, "This is LaTrisha Daniels," to the woman in the blue suit, "Tati Lopez," the woman in the orange suit, "Macy St. Claire," the woman in a green suit, "Amy Bly," and the woman in the yellow suit, "and Sam Anderson."

"Wait Amy Bly," Z said, "I thought you were against homosexuality what are you doing here?"

"Well the Power Rangers are more dangerous to the American family then homosexuality," Amy Bly answered.

The Rangers looked at each other with questionable looks and turned back to Amy Bly. "Did you just hear yourself just now?" Paige asked.

"I know and it's true," Amy Bly replied.

"Fruitcake!" Chris coughed making some of the students laugh.

"You'll laugh now, but when we get the proof that the Power Rangers are false heroes we'll have the last laugh," Tonya Zednik said before she and the rest of the chairmen left the gym and went to the parking lot only to see a woman, who looked like she was in her mid twenties in pink blouse and khaki pants next to Tonya's car, that had 'P.A.R. SUX!' on the hood.

"Hi Tonya!" she said.

"It's that Alice Dupree again!" Tati pointed out.

"Hey I heard what you were planning to do to the students here, so I decided to keep you busy," Alice said.

"How are you planning to do that?" LaTrisha asked.

"Simple," Alice replied as she picked up six purses, "You should never leave your purses and cell phones in the car." Then Alice started to run into the field in front of the school, "Catch me if you can!"


On the moon, Gear Master entered the throne room. "Lord Zedd, I have great news for you," he said.

"You finally finished repairing Serpnetera," Zedd said.

"Not yet your evilness," Gear Master apologized, "But a large energy is heading straight for Earth and landing somewhere in Boardman."

"Excellent," Zedd said, "Goldar, Scorpina, Rito! Go to Earth and fetch me that power!"

"Don't do it Zedd."

Zedd turned to see Darkseid's shadow. "And why not?"

"Because I need you three generals to find something for me," Darkseid answered.

"Listen you might have brought us back but you don't get to decided what our bozos should or shouldn't do!" Rita screeched.

"I need you generals to find something that will lead to the Rangers' demise," Darkseid said as two maps appeared in front of her. "Rito, I want you to find these." One map hovered to Rito. "Goldar and Scorpina, I need you to find me this." The other map hovered to Goldar.

"So we are going to let the Rangers take the power for themselves?" Rita asked.

"Don't worry, they will never get to the power," Darkseid said.

"Fine we'll go find what you are looking for," Goldar said as the three generals teleported out of there.


At the Command Center, everything was quiet until the computer got a message. "Zordon, we are receiving a message from Aquatar," Alpha said.

"Put on the viewing globe," Zordon instructed.

"Right away Zordon," Alpha said as he pressed a few buttons till an image of Delphine appeared on the viewing globe.

"Dolphine, this is Zordon, do you copy?" Zordon said.

"Yes Zordon, I read you," Delphine replied, "Zordon, Billy has been tracking an old general of Hydro Hog named Sharktor and it seems that is last known position is near your solar system.

"Very well, we'll warn the Power Rangers if Sharktor come to Earth," Zordon said.

"Thank you and be careful," Delphine said, "May the Power protect you and your Rangers."

"Same to you," Zordon said as the transmission ended.


Back at the school, Tyler was walking through the hallway as his Communicator went off. He ducked into the nearby bathroom and check to make sure that no one was around then answered, "What is it Zordon?"

"Tyler, we just got a message from Aquatar, a creature known as Sharktor was spotted near our solar system. We don't know if he will attack Earth yet," Zordon explained.

"Okay Zordon, I'll tell the others," Tyler said.


In space, the meteorite was entering the Earth's atmosphere and crashed into the woods that surrounded Boardman. "That meteorite landed on that under-develop world," Bouldrix said, "This will be easy."

Not too far from Bouldrix's ship, Sharktor was about to enter Earth's atmosphere. "Damn, Earth," he said, "I'll need to lay low so that I don't have a run in with Earth's Power Rangers."


The school day came to an end and the Rangers were heading for the school parking lot when the Communicators went off. "Of course," Aref said as the Rangers ducked into the empty band room.

"What is it?" Tyler asked.

"Rangers, Zordon needs you at the Command Center," Alpha said.

The Rangers nodded at each other and teleported out of there.


At the Command Center, the Rangers arrived to see what was going on. "What's going on?" Tyler asked.

"It's seems that something of great power has landed on Earth," Zordon replied, "and we found two ships entering the Earth's atmosphere."

"Do you think it could be Sharktor?" Paige asked.

"We believe so," Alpha answered.

"Rangers, you need to go out there and find the great power and stop Sharktor," Zordon said.

"We're on it," Tyler said, "It's Morphin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

"Gold Ranger Power!"

In the woods, the Rangers were looking around trying to locate the power source. Unknown to them, Sharktor was watching them from a far. "Damn, the Power Rangers are here," he whispered as he pulled out a small metallic ball, "Might as well send the Krybots to keep them busy."

Sharktor tossed the metallic ball where it landed near the Rangers. "Did anyone hear that?" asked Jon.

Then there was a small explosion and a small group of Krybots appeared around the Rangers. "Where did they come from!" Chris shouted.

"Looks like they want to fight," Aref said as the Krypots charged at the Rangers.

Paige pulled out her Light Javelin and stabbed it into a Krybot and used its body to knock other Krybots away.

Emile pulled out his axe and hacked the arms off two Krybots before kicking them away.

The Krybot that had blasters on their arm and opened fired onto Chris and Z. But the two jumped into the air to dodge the attack and used their weapons to destroy the Krybots.

Two more Krybots with blasters pointed their weapons at the two Rangers but Brittany and Haley grabbed them from behind and tossed them to the ground then fired a blaster into their heads.

Tyler and Jon where using their Light Javelins to keep the Krybot at bay. Then Jon noticed a Krybot in a tree ready to fire its blaster. "Tyler, get down!" Jon shouted.

Tyler did what Jon said and jumped on Tyler's back and knocked the Krybot down.

"Let's finish this!" Aref shouted as he pulled out the Power Staff and fired a barrage of energy balls at the Krybots, blasting them to bits.

"What was that about?" Jon asked.

"Who knows," Tyler said, "I just know that someone else is after that power."


Up ahead, Sharktor was running through the woods, only to stop to dodge a flying rock. "Sharktor! There is no way in hell that I'll let you get to that power!" Bouldrix shouted as he walked towards Sharktor, knocking down any trees that were in his way.

"Bouldrix you fool! The Power Rangers are right behind me!" Sharktor shouted back.

"Power Rangers? Yeah right on this underdeveloped world!" Bouldrix said.

"I speak the truth," Sharktor said, "My lord, Hydro Hog, was destroyed by the Aquitian Rangers years ago."

"You may be afraid of some weak creatures in tights," Bouldrix said.

Soon the Rangers arrived to see the two aliens. "Okay you two, it's time for you to give up!" Tyler shouted.

"Damn, they're here already," Sharktor said.

"These are the Power Rangers?" Bouldrix asked, "How can these weak creatures be a threat?" Then Bouldrix noticed Aref, "Hey that's the Gold Ranger that is wanted though out the galaxy!"

"What do you mean?" Aref asked.

"Recently there was a wanted sign of you in the dark parts of the galaxy," Bouldrix explained.

"Then how about you deal with these Ranger, Bouldrix," Sharktor said before he ran deeper into the woods.

"Like hell I'll let you attain that meteorite!" Bouldrix shouted as he tried to follow Sharktor.

The Rangers pulled out their blasters and fired it at Bouldrix getting his attention. "You guys take care of ugly here; I'll go after the other one!" Aref said as he ran after Sharktor.

"Be careful!" Brittany said as the Rangers got ready to fight.

"I don't care you guys are but I'll never let you defeat me and take the power that belongs to me!" Bouldrix shouted.

The Rangers pulled out their weapons and started to attack Bouldrix. When the Rangers hit Bouldrix with their weapons and the weapons were doing nothing to the alien.

"Ha, I didn't feel anything," Bouldrix said, "Now try this!" Bouldrix broke into pieces and started to fly towards the Rangers, knocking each Ranger down. "How do you think of that!"

"Hey Tyler, let's use the heavy artillery," Z suggested.

"Agreed," Tyler said as the Rangers got back up, "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, and then they placed their hands on their colored panels.

"Fire!" the Rangers shouted as the cannon fired a golden ball of energy at Bouldrix, knoing the alien to pieces.

"That's that," Chris said.

Then the pieces of Bouldrix raised back up and became Bouldrix once again. "Is that the best you got!"

"How could you survive the attack?" Haley asked.

"My race is capable of bringing our pieces back together," Bouldrix said, "Now I'll destroy you and nab that meteorite and Gold Ranger. Ship, send in the growth potion."

Soon a vial of a green liquid appeared in his hand and drank it then grew into a giant.

"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 then a panel opened to show the Megazord's hand.

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

"Ark, activate Warrior Mode!" Z shouted as he inserted the Shadow Saber into the control.

The Ark started to transform, the propellers folded up and folded into the ship. Then part of the ship folded open to form the arms and legs. Then the dragon head folded down 90 degrees, and the Zord's head took its place. "Warrior Mode online!"


Back on the ground, Aref caught up with Sharktor and knocked him down with the staff. "Where do you think you're going?" Aref asked.

"This doesn't concern you Gold Ranger," Sharktor said as he pulled his sword.

"It does, since I know who you are," Aref said as he got ready to fight.

"Then you know that I'm doing this to avenge my lord," Sharktor said as he swung his sword making a jet of water that cut a tree in half.

Aref charged at Sharktor with his staff in front.


Ark charged at Bouldrix and slashed its sword only to be knocked away. Bouldrix then grabbed Ark with his larger arms and started to hit Ark with his smaller arms.

The Megazord pulled out its sword and hit one of the joints of Bouldrix's arm, making it fall apart letting go of Ark.

"Nothing works on this guy," Tyler stated.

"We should use the Armored Megazord," Emile suggested.

"I highly doubt that that should work," Z said, "He should have a weakness somewhere."

"I'm starting a scan on him right now," Brittany said.

"What's the matter can't fight back?" Bouldrix said as he broke into pieces and flew over to the Megazord and Ark, hitting them multiple times causing them to fall.

"You weak creatures can never defeat something as advance as me!" Bouldrix shouted as he pulled himself back together.

"Guys there is a crack on the left side of his body," Brittany said.

"Must have happened when we hit him with the Power Cannon," Paige said.

"I'll keep him busy, you guys focus on the crack," Z said as Ark swung its sword only to have it knocked out its hand.

As Bouldrix was attacking Ark, the Megazord got to the left side of the alien and stuck its sword into the crack.

"Hey that hurt!" Bouldrix shouted as his body started to get covered in cracks.

"Now let's finish this fight!" 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 Bouldrix

"How can I lose to underdeveloped creatures! Bouldrix shouted as he fell to the ground and exploded.


Aref blocked Sharktor's attack and tossed him away. "It's time to finish this!" Aref shouted.

Aref raised the Golden Power Staff and energy was gathering at the top, then he fired balls of energy at Sharktor.

There was a large explosion that tossed Sharktor into the air and hit a tree.

"You may of won this round Gold Ranger, but I'll be back," Sharktor said as he teleported out of there.


In the deeper part of the woods, a woman and her teenage son was looking for something. "Mother, why are we here again?" the son asked.

"I told you before, I sensed something powerful and I can finally impress your father," the mother replied.

Soon the two found the meteorite, "Perfect," she said.

"Get back here!" the two looked up to see Alice still be chased by the six women from the P.A.R. Alice tripped on a tree root and Tonya walked over and picked up her purse, "I am sick of you petty pranks and I think it's time to finally call the police."

"What are you doing here?" the women looked to see the mother, her son, and the meteorite.

"We were chasing this woman because…" Tonya was interrupted when the meteorite started to glow bright and fired eight colored beams, that were the same colors as the Rangers, and hit the wrist of each woman and becoming some sort of strange device.

Then all nine of them disappeared.


At the Command Center, the Rangers arrived to see what Zordon wanted. "Rangers," Zordon started, "It seems that the power that came to Earth disappeared."

The Rangers were surprised at what they. "Do you think Zedd has it now?" Tyler asked.

"I don't think so," Alpha said, "Goldar, Scorpina, and Rito left the palace, but they went to different parts of the world."

"What should we do now Zordon," Haley asked.

"Right now it would be best for you to return home and rest for the rest of the day; we'll start looking for the power after you play practice tomorrow."

"Okay Zordon," Tyler said as the Ranger teleported back home.

A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter where Zedd and Rita had no involvement. Get Ready for what's coming up next.
