Chapter 65: Phantom of the Wits Redux

It was the night that the Drama Guild was preparing for; it was the opening night for Suessical the Musical. Everyone was in their costumes getting ready to perform for the public. Once everyone was done, the cast and their directors were in the choir room warming up and when they said a quick prayer before they went on stage to wait for their cues.

Chris was out on stage staring the opening song,

Chris: Oh, the thinks you can think!
Oh, the thinks you can think
If you're willing to try...

Think invisible ink!
Or a gink with a stink!
Or a stair to the sky...
If you open your mind,
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose...
Oh, the thinks you can think
When you think about...

Cast: Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss!

The show continued and it was now in the middle of 'Here on Who' where Aref was the Grinch.

Mayor: Imagine a place that is tidy
And totally clean,

Whos: Who…

Aref: Where even a Grinch wouldn't dare to be totally mean!

Whos: Who…

Mayor: You think that it's heaven on earth
Yes, you do!
But heaven on earth isn't heaven on Who!

Whos: Troubles on Who
Are the biggest that you've ever seen.

Then soon the show reached to 'Monkey Around' the three Rangers and their friend started wonder around the stage and Emile was going far as doing flips. But Emile did a flip off one of the platforms and when he landed he felt pain in his foot. He quietly got off stage where some of his fellow students helped him get into the dressing room while the others continued the song without him.

In the dressing room, Emile sat on an extra chair where everyone was huddled around him. "Are you okay?" the director asked.

"Yeah, just my leg hurts," Emile replied.

"Do you need someone to call your parents?" the director asked again.

"Don't worry, I'll call someone," Emile said.

Soon everyone in the dressing room left to get ready on stage, but Aref remained behind. "I'm guessing you're going to see Alpha first?" Aref said as Emile got his Communicator.

"Yep," Emile said as he teleported out of there.

At the Command Center, Emile arrived at the medical bay. "I knew you would come in." Emile turned to see Alpha.

"You saw what happened?" he asked.

"That and some of the others contacted me and Zordon," Alpha replied, now just lay down on the bed and I'll start a scan."

Emile did what Alpha said and laid down. With a few buttons and the bed started to scan Emile and in a few moments the machine printed out the results. "Well Emile it seems like you just hurt your ankle, but the bad news it you won't be able to dance for the show," Alpha explained.

"Damn," Emile said.

Back at the high school, they students were walking on stage and singing.

Cast: Why rehash a nasty crash.
Why call a hearse
Or curse the universe!
My philosophy is simply:
Things could be worse!

Tim: "Oh…"

Cast: So be happy you're here.
Think of life as a thrill!
And if worse comes to worse,
As we all know it will,
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far...

"It time for a brief intermission," Chris started.

"Which means Act One is though!" the rest of cast shouted.

"So go have a nice intermission. The lobby's a real zoo! But we've gotta fix up the stage and get ready to play Act Two!" Chris finished.

Cast: Tell yourself
How lucky you are...
How lucky you are...
How lucky you are...

Chris: How lucky you are!

The cast got off stage and some saw Emile hopping out of the dressing room on one leg, "Well everyone, my ride is here. I'll let you all know what happened tomorrow," he said as he made his way to the door but a few members of the cast helped Emile to his parents' car.

About another hour past, when the cast finished with their first show and were getting ready to head out. When the students were heading out the stage door, a familiar face walked though the door and caused the students to scream.

The Rangers rushed out to see what was going on and saw Witty Phantom, in his true form, at the door. "Don't worry kids," he said, "I'm not here to harm you."

"But you're a monster," a female student said.

"I know I'm a monster, but I don't work for Zedd or Rita," Witty Phantom said, "Besides I was already defeated by the Power Rangers."

"So what do you want with us?" Tim asked.

"Well I just wanted to congratulate you all on a spectacular show," Witty Phantom said.

"So you are not here to attack?" another student asked.

"Oh heavens no," Witty Phantom replied, "There are more beings like me that come to Earth to see a good show."

"They do?" a student said.

"Of course, beings like me you can trust, it's just the bounty hunters you can never trust," Witty Phantom explained, "Well I need to head out, congratulation again." Witty Phantom left the school; leaving the students speechless of what just happened.

Once Witty Phantom was outside, he was grabbed by someone and was dragged to the roof of the school. "Found you!"

Witty Phantom looked you to see Sharktor, "Sharktor, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'm here for the Power Rangers, but since you are here I was planning to turn you in for what you've done," Sharktor replied.

"No! You can't do that!" Witty Phantom pleaded, "I was an accident too!"

"An accident that killed over 50 bystanders," Sharktor added, "But I won't turn you in unless you do something for me."

"I will not fight the Power Rangers!" Witty Phantom shouted.

"Well then," Sharktor started as he pulled out a vial with a red liquid, "At least I came prepared."

The next day, the performers were getting ready for their matinee show. Once everyone was ready and was heading for the choir room, they saw Emile, standing with a single crutch, and his sister, Carly. "Hey guys," he greeted.

Some of the students gathered around Emile to see what happen. "So what did they say?" Paige asked.

"Well, I hurt my ankle and the doctor said that I should try and not to put any weight on it for a week," Emile explain, "So I won't be going on stage with you guys."

The a lot of the students were sad to here this and went back into choir room and Emile's sister was heading to the auditorium to get seats for them, but the Rangers stayed behind. "So what did they say about, you know?" Z asked.

"Well, Alpha said that I shouldn't be a Ranger for the week," Emile answered.

"But what if we need the Megazord?" Jon asked.

"Alpha set up the Bull Zord so that Aref can pilot it," Emile answered again.

"Come on Emile, let's sit down for the show," Carly said.

"Well guys break a leg out there," Emile said as he followed his sister.

Outside Sharktor was watching, "Now that the Green Ranger is out of commission, I'm sure that they'll have a harder time with their next fight."

The matinee show went well and everyone was relaxing in the hallways of the school, until a student ran in with a portable radio, "Everyone, you have to hear this," she said as she turned up the radio.

"As we speak a monster just appeared in the streets of Youngstown with multiple robotic foot soldiers. The P.A.R. said that the police should take action, but the chief said that it's best that the Power Rangers handle this," the male newscaster said, "Wait, we just got word that the US military is coming in to take care of the situation."

With what they heard, the Rangers were worried of what was going on. Emile walk over to his friends and whispered, "What are you guys waiting for? Go!"

The Rangers were able to slip past their cast and made to a empty room away from them.

" It's Morphin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Phoenix!"

"Frog!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

"Gold Ranger Power!"

The Rangers arrived in Youngstown to see a bunch of Krybots. "Well this rules out Zedd and Rita causing problem," Tyler said.

"We need to find the monster leading them," Haley said.

"No need to look Rangers," the Rangers heard a familiar voice and turned to see Witty Phantom looking like his muscles grew with the sleeve torn off showing his newly built arms.

"Witty Phantom, what the hell happened to you?" Aref asked.

"I just got an a wakeup call to realized my true power and now I'm going to defeat you Power Rangers once and for all!" Witty Phantom shouted.

"Freeze!" the Rangers and the villains turned to see soldiers from the US military, pointing their guns at them. "Do not move or we will shoot," a soldier said.

Witty Phantom smiled and said, "Attack!"

The Krybots charged at the military men, who opened fire on them.

"Idiots," Tyler said under his breath as the Rangers pulled out their Light Javelins, Power Staff for Aref, and charged in to help.

The bullets from the guns bounced off the Krybots, "Our weapons are useless!" one soldier shouted.

Z and Paige jumped into the air and stabbed a few Krybots and used their bodies to knock away other Krybots.

Brittany slid on the ground and used her javelin to trip the Krybots

Jon, Chris, and Haley twirled their javelins and knocked the any Krybots that got close to them.

Aref was running though the Krybots with the staff in his hand, fire energy balls that knocked the Krybots down.

Tyler was going after Witty Phantom, "How could you go evil after what happened?" Tyler asked as Witty Phantom blocked an attack.

"Oh please, evil is what I am," Witty Phantom said as he tossed Tyler ground.

Tyler got back up and pulled out his Blaster and fired it at Witty Phantom, hitting him.

"You think ruining my tuxedo will make me stop?" Witty Phantom said, "That was the old me, now I'll stop at anything." Then Witty Phantom pulled out his cane and raised it into the air and energy from the soldiers. "Now that I have the wits of the soldiers, you'll never me stop me now."

In a blink of an eye Witty Phantom disappeared and Tyler was punched in the stomach and was sent flying backwards.

"Tyler!" Haley shouted as the Rangers gathered around their leader.

"Now I'll destroy you all at once," Witty Phantom said as he fired balls of energy at the Rangers.

Aref got in front and fired balls of energy back, deflecting all of Witty Phantom's attack. Then they noticed that Witty Phantom stopped firing. "Now where did he-" Z was interrupted when Witty Phantom kicked him.

The rest of the Rangers tried to react to Witty Phantom, but Witty Phantom tripped them all and kicked them to the side.

"You Power Rangers are nothing now," he said, "I am now unbeatable!"

Back at the high school, the student in the show were gathered around the portable radio listening to what was going on. "It seems that this monster is overpowering the Power Rangers and with the military soldiers already down, is there any way to stop this monster," the newscast told.

Emile was sitting close to the group of students, listening as well, with his sister. "Do you think the Power Rangers will win?" Carly asked her brother, but he wasn't paying attention. "Emile!"

Emile turned to his sister, "What!" he said.

"Are you paying attention?" Carly asked again.

"Sorry no," Emile replied as he got up, "Excuse me for a second." then Emile went into the hallway.

Back in the fight, Witty Phantom was holding his cane, ready to deliver the final strike, but a the Power Axe flew though the air and destroyed the cane. "What! How did this happen!"

"Because of me." they all turned to see Emile, morphed and standing with his crutch, and holding his Power Axe in its gun mode and fired, knocking Witty Phantom down.

"What are you doing here?" Paige said, "You should be resting that leg of yours."

"Sorry, just thought that you guys could use the Power Cannon," Emile said.

"Are you sure?" Chris asked.

"Positive," Emile said.

"Fine then," Tyler said, "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.

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

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

The energy from the blasts cause a large explosion that knocked Witty Phantom and he landed on his back.

"Pathetic," Sharktor said as he walked to the downed Witty Phantom and placed his foot on the fallen alien's chest, "You lost even when they had a handicapped. " Sharktor pulled out a vial of green liquid, "Now let's end this."

Sharktor shoved the opened end of the vial into Witty Phantom's mouth, who drank it all. Sharktor walked away as Witty Phantom grew into a giant.

"Emile get of here, we got this," Tyler said.

"Alright," Emile said, "Aref enjoy piloting my Zord."

"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, Armorzation!"

The Ark broke into different pieces and flew to the Megazord, where it became armor for the Megazord.

Witty Phantom pulled at rapier and charged at the Megazord, but the Megazord lashed its snake sword and wrapped it around Witty Phantom's legs and tripped him.

Witty Phantom quickly go back up and charged energy into his weapon and fired beams at the Megazord, hitting it.

"Fire Lightning Gem!" Z shouted as the Lightning Gem shot lightning at Witty Phantom. Then the Megazord grabbed Witty Phantom and tossed him to the ground.

The Rangers were about to finish off Witty Phantom, when their Communicators started to go off. "Rangers, hold off your attack," Zordon said.

"Why?" Jon asked.

"Emile was able to fetch Witty Phantom's cane and we were able to prove that Witty Phantom is under a control potion mixed with a power potion," Zordon explained.

"So is there a way to reverse this?" Brittany asked.

"There is," Zordon said as a large syringe appeared in Brittany's hand, "You must hit Witty Phantom with this to set him back to normal."

"Okay then, we grab him and Brittany you know what to do," Tyler said.

"Right!" the other Rangers agreed.

"I will destroy you!" Witty Phantom shouted as he charged at the Megazord and it grabbed Witty Phantom and started to lock arm with each other.

Brittany was standing on the shoulder of the Megazord with the syringe and her Power Bow. She took aim and fired the syringe and hit Witty Phantom in the neck.

"I feel weird," Witty Phantom said as he started to glow and shirked back to his normal size. The Rangers left the Megazord to check on Witty Phantom, they saw that he was back to normal. "Are you okay? Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I'll be okay," Witty Phantom replied.

"Good, because we need to get you out of here," Tyler said as the Rangers, Witty Phantom, and the Megazord were teleported out of there.

Unknown to the, Sharktor was watching. The device on his belt was going off, "What is it," he answered.

"Return to the base, we need to plan the day to show the Power Rangers that I'm still alive," the voice said.

"Alright, I'm on my way," Sharktor said as he got off the device, "Next time we meet Rangers you'll be facing me and my partner on the battlefield."

In a old looking cave, Zedd and Rita were traveling through it. "Zedd why are we here again!" Rita shouted.

"I told you, it's a surprise," Zedd replied as they traveled deeper into the cave.

Soon the two villain entered a large chamber that had a large tree in the middle. The tree had black bark and white glowing star-shape leaves that light up the entire chamber. "What is this?" Rita asked.

Zedd didn't say anything, he grabbed Rita's hand and lead her to the tree, where a face of an old man appeared in the knot of the tree. "I am the Tree of Feelings," it said in a kind grandfather voice, "What answers do you seek."

"Tree of Feelings tell us, what is my feelings for my wife Rita Repulsa?" Zedd asked.

"Lord Zedd, you always had deep feelings for Rita Repulsa ever since you laid eyes on her," the tree said, "You planned with Finster to have Rita marry you."

"What do you mean?" Rita asked again.

"That love potion you gave me was actually fake," Zedd answered, "Finster was in on it. I did it as a way to propose to you on that day." Then Zedd got on one knee and said, "Rita Repulsa, you are my one and true love."

"True love between two great evils that would be feared across the universe if the Power Rangers fall," the Tree of Feelings said.

"But what about Amanda?" Rita asked.

"Zedd labeled her as the night he would regret," the tree said.

"Oh Zedd, this is great," Rita said, "And I have news that I couldn't wait to tell you."

"What is it?" Zedd asked.

"I'm pregnant!" Replied with a smile.

"Oh Rita, that's wonderful!" Zedd shouted as he hugged Rita.

Unknowingly, jealous eye were watching them.

It was the last show at the high school and they were doing the last song in the show. All the performers dance on to stage, even Emile came on and dance on one foot.

Cast: I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am
Do not like them here or there
I do not like them anywhere.

Not in a house, not with a mouse
Not here or there, not anywhere
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am

Could you? Would you? With a goat?
Could you? Would you? On a boat?
Could you? Would you? In the rain?
Could you? Would you? On a train?

Not with a goat. Not on a boat.
Not in the rain. Not on a train.
Not in a house. Not with a mouse.
Oh, no!

Not in a box. Not with a fox.
Not in a tree. You let me be!
I do not like green eggs and ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-am!

The performers started to take their bows, starting with the chorus, then the dancers, then the leads, and then they took one final bow then extended their arms to the band and sang: I do not like green eggs and ham!

A/N: I hope you like what I did in this chapter. Witty Phantom and the Tree of Feelings was submited by TeamRocketDiva. Get ready for what is coming up next.
