Chapter 67: The Dark Day part II
The Power Rangers were sitting in a dark room all hand cuffed to the table. In the room there was one way mirror where police officers were watching the Rangers. "Any changes?" the officers turned to their captain.
"No sir," one officer replied, "They've been sitting like that since we brought them in."
"General Conner, is not here yet?" the captain asked.
"I right behind you." They all turned to see General Connor, "Did the Power Rangers give you any trouble?"
"Nope, they've been calm," another officer replied.
"Alright, let me get a cup of coffee and I'll start talking to them," Conner said as he placed a folder on a the table.
In the lair where the Ranger Moms meet up, they were waiting for the false Goddess to come out.
"What is taking her so long, does she know we have family," Macy said.
"Yeah, usually here when she brings us here," Amy added.
Alice was leaning against the wall and she felt it move, the next thing she knew was that she fall though the wall and was in a corridor. She looked around and shrugged, "Might as well look around," she said to herself.
As she walked though the corridor she heard laughter, Alice followed it until she came to an entrance of Zedd's throne room where she saw Zedd, Rita, Goldar, Scorpina, Rito, Darkseid, and Jinn. "So say that again," Zedd ordered.
"The Power Rangers were placed under arrest," Jinn said causing the villains to laugh hard.
"It gets better every time I hear it," Zedd said, "Now that the Power Rangers are out of the way taking over the Earth will be a piece of cake."
"I made it possible, so when can I get free from this curse?" Jinn asked.
"You'll be free once we have control of the Earth," Darkseid said.
"Lord Zedd, I have fantastic news for you," Gear Master announced as he entered though the other door in the room, "Serpentera's repairs are almost complete."
"Perfect victory is in our hands now," Zedd said as he sat back on his throne, "Jinn you'll return to Earth and lead the first charge on the Rangers' hometown, Goldar, you'll accompany me on Serpentera and we'll lead the destruction of the Power Rangers and their home."
"Let's hope the its power doesn't run out," Rito whispered to Scorpina.
Scorpina elbowed Rito in the stomach, "Don't jinx it," she said.
"Zedd, what if the Rangers break out and go after my bottle," Jinn pointed out.
"Please the Power Rangers are too much of goody two shoes to do a crime," Rita said, "But if you are worried we can use those Ranger Moms to protect the bottle. They believe anything you tell them."
"Indeed they do," Darkseid said as she disappeared.
Alice ran as fast as she could to return to the others. When Alice returned to the lair, Darkseid, disguised as the Goddess, "Rangers, Zedd and Rita are almost free from the Power Rangers," she said.
"So it's almost over?"LaTrisha asked.
"Yes," Darkseid replied as a bottle appeared in front of the Ranger Moms, "This bottle belongs to a genie who will be setting things right."
"What do you want us to do about it?" Tati asked.
"You must protect it just in case if the Power Rangers show up," Darkseid said.
"Don't worry we will," Tonya said, "It's Busting Time!"
At the Command Center, Alpha was panic from what he was seeing, "Ayeyaiyai! the Power Rangers are under arrest!" he shouted.
"Alpha you must calm down," Zordon said, "There is nothing we can do for them now. Right now we need to focus on breaking Jinn's curse."
Just then the alarms went off. "Oh what now," Alpha said as he turned to the viewing globe and got the shock of his life, "Oh no, Serpentera is fully repaired."
"Alpha, put a hold on breaking the curse and start the reactivation of Tor and adapt it to the new Zord," Zordon instructed.
"I'm on it," Alpha said as he started to press buttons on a panel, "Oh, I hope the Rangers can get out of this."
In the cockpit of Serpentera, Zedd was sitting in his usual seat as Goldar was in the pilot seat. "Today is a good day Goldar," Zedd started, "The Power Rangers are out of the way, Serpentera is repaired, and the world is ours for the picking."
"I agree my lord," Goldar said.
Back with the Rangers, General Connor walked into the room with a large file in his hands. "Power Rangers," he said, "Sorry we had to meet like this."
"We highly doubt that," Tyler said.
"Well I guess you are wonder why you are here," Connor said.
"We believe it has to do with you," Emile said this time.
"You can't blame me," Connor said as he laid the folder on the table and opened it to show pictures of the different teams of Power Rangers throughout the years. "For over 15 years you Power Rangers had come from nowhere with these great machines that you used to fight against all sorts of equally powerful beings."
"What are you getting at?" Paige asked.
"I want to know where do you get this technology," Connor said, "In 1993 it popped out of nowhere..."
"Your information is wrong," Z interrupted.
"What do you mean?" Connor said as he turned to the Shadow Ranger.
"The first team of Power Rangers were called the Dawn Rangers and the Power was dormant until 1975," Z explain.
"But there are no records of them," Connor pointed out.
"That's because Japan kept as a secret from the rest of the world," Chris said, "But back then they were call Goranger."
"Yeah the name 'Power Ranger' didn't start until the Mighty Morphin era," Jon added.
"But how could they gain access to that technology?" Connor asked getting a little impatient.
"When the Black Cross Army was raising the UN kept it under wraps with a secret organization known as EAGLE, until the army attack Japan and five survivors were then allowed be our mentor to use our technology to defeat the Black Cross Army," Brittany told.
"Well that's a fine history lesson, but back to the point," Connor said, "How do you Rangers get you powers and technology?"
"Each team had a different way to gain their powers," Haley answered.
"That's not what I meant!" Connor shouted as he slammed his fist to the table, "How can you all sustain your powers and weapons while our scientist can't make heads or tails of what to do."
"We can't tell you," Aref answered.
"You don't know what's at stake here, do you?" Connor shouted.
"Nope, what's at stake?" Tyler asked.
"We need that technology of yours to help the United Stated to be the most powerful country in the world," Connor explained, "If you give us your technology, we'll consider it as payment for what you and the other Rangers caused."
"Sorry, but we'll never give up our technology to people who abuse it," Tyler said.
"You don't get it!" Connor raised his voice, "We can create peace in the world. No war, no violence..."
"And no freedom," Z interrupted again, "We know people like you would use the Ranger Technology to police the world and if one person steps out of line in your imaginative world he or she would be an enemy and make them disappeared as if they never existed."
"This is why the teams are carefully selected so that no one will abuse the power," Jon added.
"Fine!" Connor said as he got up, "I was hoping we'll do this the easy way, but I think it's time to use force." Connor left the room and went to the cops, "I want everyone who is available to search the Power Rangers until we find the source of their power."
"No they won't," a familiar voice said.
Connor turned to the source to see the President of the United States. "Mr. President, what are you doing here?" Connor asked.
"I came as a request from a friend," the President said as he step aside to let an older woman with a cane walk in.
"Sir, who is this?" Connor asked.
"I am Elizabeth Carrington, the mayor of Angel Grove who went six years of Power Rangers," the woman answered.
"What going on?" Connor asked one last time.
"We are here to explained to the people that the Power Rangers are the heroes that we need," the President responded.
"Well sir, the Power Rangers are under arrest for destruction of private property..." Connor tried to explained.
"Then I'm going to give them a Presidential Pardon," the president said.
"What?" Connor couldn't believe what he was hearing.
The President turned to the captain, "Please release the Power Rangers and bring them out here."
"Yes Mr. President," the captain said as he went to the room that held the Rangers.
"Sir you don't understand, the Power Rangers are dangerous," Connor tried to explain.
"That's not true," Carrington said, "It's thanks to the Power Rangers that our world is safe. And we also know it was you who started the rumors."
The Rangers walked into the room with the captain and was surprised when they saw the President. "What's the President doing here?" Tyler asked.
"Well Rangers I came here to help with the predicament you are in," the President replied, "And it was because of her." The President pointed to the old mayor of Angel Grove.
Carrington smiled as she looked at the Ranger, "Look at you," she started, "Other than the helmets, you look like the first team of Power Rangers." Then she saw Aref, "You're the Gold Zeo Ranger, why are you here?"
"Well a long story short, the original Gold Ranger needed his powers to be hidden as he regains his unity and the monster that is after his power is destroyed," Aref explained.
"I see," Carrington said, "Well I would like to chat with you but it's mass chaos outside."
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Tyler said before the Rangers teleported away.
When the Rangers were gone, the President turned to Connor, "General Connor, when we return to Washington , there are people who would want to talk to you."
At the Command Center, the Rangers arrived to the blaring alarms. "Alpha, what's going on?" Paige asked.
"It's terrible Rangers, Jinn is attacking and something even worse is approaching Earth," Alpha replied.
"What is it?" Chris asked.
"Rangers, it's best if you saw though the viewing globe," Zordon suggested.
The Rangers turned to the viewing globe and was shocked at what they saw. "How? How can Serpentera be back online so soon?" Emile said.
"It seems we miscalculated the time the Gear Master needed to repair Serpentera," Zordon replied, "But right now we should focus on Jinn then deal with Serpentera when it lands."
"Well with Jinn we need to focus on finding his bottle this time," Jon pointed out.
"That will be a problem," Apha said, "It seems that the Ranger Moms are protecting the bottle."
"Then let's divide and conquer," Tyler suggested, "We'll keep Jinn busy, Z, Aref, you get Ninjor and take care of that bottle."
"We won't disappoint you," Z said.
"Good luck Power Rangers and may the Power protect you," Zordon said before the Rangers left.
Seven of the Rangers ran though the streets to confront Jinn. "Power Rangers, I'm surprised that you broke out," Jinn said.
"Well we got a Presidential Pardon," Tyler responded, "Now you ready for round 2!"
"Don't think this fight will be easy," Jinn said as he started to glow, "And this time there will be no interruptions!" Then Jinn used his powers to grow into a giant.
The Rangers looked at each other and nodded, "We call upon the power of the Shinning Zords!"
Then in a bright flash the Shinning Zords appeared and were charging in.
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.
"Impressive Megazord, but it won't be enough to stop me!" Jinn said before he attacked.
In the park, Z, Aref, and Ninjor arrived and saw the Ranger Moms. "Why are they standing there like that? Do they know that there's an attack?" Aref asked.
"Let's just get the bottle and get rid of Jinn," Z said as the approached the Ranger Moms. As they go close they felt a wave of magic and soon they were seeing that everything is peaceful.
"That would explain why they are standing here," Ninjor said.
"It's the Power Rangers!" Sam shouted at the rest got ready to fight.
"Listen, we want no trouble. Just hand over the bottle," Aref said.
"Like hell we will!" Tonya shouted as she held the bottle close to her body, "You Evil Rangers will finally fall!"
"You are delusional and you let what you believe to let you be manipulated by Zedd and Rita," Z stated.
"You know nothing Rangers!" Amy shouted as the Ranger Moms, minus Alice, ran towards the Rangers and their friend.
Z pulled out his weapon out and held back Macy, Amy, and LaTrisha's weapons. "You Rangers are sinful creatures, once you are gone we'll easily get rid of the rest of the sinners," Amy said.
"Do you even listen to yourself?" Z asked before he jumped backwards making the three women fall forward.
Sam and Amanda jumped into the air and tried to attack Ninjor, who quickly dodge the attack. "You ladies should just surrender and give up your evil ways," Ninjor said.
"Evil. The Rangers and their allies are the true evil here," Sam said.
Aref ran towards Tonya and Tati with his staff held out and firing balls of energy at them. The blasts knocked the two female Rangers. Aref took his chance and tried to take the bottle from Tonya. "You'll let go if you know what's good for you," Tonya said.
"Just try me," Aref said as he pulled harder.
Tonya used her bazooka and blasted Aref away.
The Megazord got its sword ready and swung it at Jinn where it clashed with his staff. "Pathetic Rangers, do you think your sword can hit me?"
"Well you should see this trick," Tyler said as the Megazord's sword broke to pieces and strike Jinn.
"Impressive, your technology are more advance then the Dawn Rangers," Jinn said, "But I am still more powerful!" Jinn fired a beam at the Megazord, knocking it to the ground.
"Okay let's finish this," Aref said as he raised the Golden Power Staff and energy was gathering at the top, then he fired balls of energy at the Ranger Moms knocking them all down and Tonya dropped the bottle.
Alice quickly picked up the bottle. "Now hand it over," Ninjor said.
"I got a better idea," Alice said as she rose the bottle and slammed against a tree shattering the bottle.
"Now it's the end of the Power Rangers," Jinn said as he raised his staff for the finishing strike. Then Jinn started to feel something odd and he started to turn to different shades of gray. "No I can't be defeated!" Then Jinn's body started glow white then burst into small sparks of light that quickly dissipated.
On the ground, the spell that surrounded the Ranger Moms disappeared. "What's going on?" Macy asked.
Alice took off her helmet and said, "We were tricked by Zedd and Rita." She then walked over to the Rangers, "Power Rangers, I hope you can forgive us."
"Wait, how do we know that they didn't create this themselves," Tonya pointed out.
"Because I overheard Zedd and Rita talking about taking over the Earth and we were being used to protect the bottle that while something would attack the city," Alice explain.
"But still..." Tonya try to say.
"Oh get your heads out of your asses and see the truth, the Power Rangers are the good guys and Zedd and Rita are the bad guys," Alice told.
"Yet you ruined my chance," Amanda said as she walked up to Alice.
"Chances for what?" Aref asked.
"To be with Zedd!" Amanda shouted, "But I know one way to impress Zedd." The morphers of the other Ranger Moms flew off their wrists, demorphing them, and into Amanda's hand. "Dread, bring forth the Zords and let us destroy the Power Rangers!"
The Zords of Anarchy arrived in its Megazord from and Amanda teleported into the cockpit.
"You two stay here with them. I'm going to help the others," Z said to Aref and Ninjor.
"No need to tell us twice," Aref said.
"Come Ark, Ship of Darkness!"
Ark flew in from space.
"Hey guys mind join in the fun?" Z asked.
"We'll be glad to have you," Tyler said.
"Ark, Armorzation!"
The Ark broke into different pieces and flew to the Megazord, where it became armor for the Megazord.
Amanda was in the leader chair of the Anarchy Megazord while her son sat in her seat. "Now let's destroy the Power Rangers!" she said.
The Anarchy Megazord got it's sword out and charged at the Shinning Megazord. The Shinning Megazord got its snake sword out and dodged the other Megazord's attack then tripped it.
The Anarchy Megazord got back up and started slash its sword at the good Megazord, which kept dodging each attack until the Shinning Megazord punched the evil Megazord.
"Why isn't the Megazord not as strong as the last time?" Amanda demanded to know.
"Well mother, we would need to insert the other morphers into the right Ranger chair and then I can control them with the Power Rangers' remote device I should be able to take full control," Dread explained.
"Fine," Amanda said as she took the morphers and inserted them into the right controls and Dread was inserting the remote device into the controls. "Now let's try this again," Amanda said as she pressed a few buttons and the Megazord wasn't responding. "What's going on? I told you to go!"
"No," a kind male voice said, "I won't allow it."
"Who is that?" Amanda demanded.
"I am what you call the Anarchy Megazord," the voice said again, "And you are not allowed to use me and the Power anymore."
"What?" Amanda shouted as she demorphed.
"Now be gone vile creatures," the Megazord said as it forced Amanda and Dread out of the cockpit. "Power Rangers, thank to the remote device we were able to take back control."
"What are you then?" Haley asked.
"We are actually called the Zords of Hope, created so if evil rules the Earth and we would be the last hope to free the planet from evil," the Hope Megazord explained, "Now we must leave Earth because we are unworthy after what happened.
"What? You can't leave," Jon said.
"Yeah you can tip the scale in our favor," Brittany added.
"I'm sorry Rangers, but one day we might meet again." The Hope Megazord took flight and then returned to its individual Zords and left Earth.
As the Rangers watched the sky until the saw lightning shooting though the dark cloud and hitting near the Megazord. The Ranger watched in horror as Serpentera pieced the clouds like a knife.
"Goldar how could you miss their Megazord?" Zedd asked.
"I thought I could scare them off with a warning shot," Goldar relpied.
"No more warning shots," Zedd commanded, "Just hit the Megazord!"
Serpentera fire more lightning and the Megazord was barely dodging the blasts until a misstep tripped it up and the lightning blast knocked the Megazord down and reverting it back to the individual Zord. The blast also knocked the Rangers out of their Zords, but Z was able to return to the cockpit of Ark.
"Ark revert to Warrior Mode!" Z shouted as his Zord turned into its warrior form.
"Oh look, the Shadow Ranger wishes to fight us," Zedd said, "Let's land Serpentera and give him a free shot."
The colossus Zord landed in the middle of town and the Rangers saw how big Serpentera as Ark was is not as big as its foot. Serpentera bowed its head to Ark's level.
"Charge the Lightning Gem!" Z shouted as the Lightning Gem started to glow, "Fire!"
The Ark spread its arms out as the Lightning Gem fired a electrical beam.
"The attack didn't do anything," Paige pointed out.
"How can we stop anything like this?" Chris asked.
"I don't know," Tyler replied.
The beam hit Serpentera's head but nothing happened. "You call that lightning?" Zedd said as he walked out of the cockpit of Serpentera, "I'll show you real lightning!" Zedd raised his staff and fired lightning at Ark, damaging it. "Now Goldar let us crush these troublesome Zords."
"As you wish my master," Goldar said as he moved a control that raised the foot of the evil Zord.
"Z," Zordon said though the Communicator, "We are sending Tor jump inside with your Zord."
"Okay," Z said as the large turtle Zord with cannons on its side appeared near Ark and it stand up to transform into its own Warrior Mode. The chest opened up and Ark entered it.
Serpentera's foot knocked Tor back down reverting it to its Shuttle Mode and Serpentera was push down on the armored Zord making Tor shriek while the other Rangers can only watch.
"Try if you must, but there is nothing that can stop me now!" Zedd said. Then Serpentera's eyes turned black and released its foot of off Tor. "Goldar, what's going on?"
"Lord Zedd, it seems that we are out of power," Goldar answered, "We can only retreat back to the moon.
Zedd didn't say anything as he pulled out a paper bag and screamed in it. "How the hell can this happen when I told Gear Master to improve the power supply!"
"Shall we return to the moon?" Goldar said.
"Yes," Zedd simply replied, "You Power Rangers are lucky for now, but the moment I find Gear Master I will destroy you all!"
Serpentera's eye turned red again before to flew back into the sky.
Z sighed as he melted into his seat and took his helmet off to wipe the sweat off, "Thank god it's over," he said to himself.
"Whew, thank goodness for that's over with," Alpha said.
"Alpha, with Jinn gone we should break the curse he created.
"I'm on it," Alpha said as he pressed a few buttons.
The Command Center fired a yellow beam into the sky and hit a satellite. From there the satellite fired the beam and hit the clouds over Youngstown making them dispersed and let the light shine onto the city and its towns.
The eight Rangers arrived to where the Ranger Moms were at. "So these are the Ranger Moms?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah, but the last one got away," Aref said.
"So what are you going to do to us?" Tonya asked, "Destroy us?"
"No we are here to tell you to hide," Tyler said.
"What? Why?" LaTrisha asked.
"You will be on the hit list for Zedd and Rita since you guys were one of the people who ruined their plans," Tyler explained, "So just go into hiding and don't come out until Zedd and Rita are stopped.
"Why should we listen to you?" Tati asked.
"Because we know Zedd and Rita and they know how to hold a gauge," Tyler answered as the Rangers started to walk away. "We won't always be there to always protect you all." Then the Rangers teleported out of there.
Soon the town was back to normal and people were gathered at the City Center to hear the President's speech about the Power Rangers with Carrington. The Rangers were outside relaxing after the big fight they had today. "Hey!" the Rangers turned to see Julian, Courtney, Matt, and David. "Thank god you guys are okay," Courtney said.
"What do you expect, we are use to it," Haley replied.
"Yeah, but what was with that mechanical dragon?" Matt asked.
"It was Zedd's personal Zord," Jon replied, "We were just surprised that they repaired it."
"So why did it retreat then?" David added.
"It must of ran out of power," Emile said.
Then the Rangers' Communicator went off and Tyler answered it, "What is it Zordon?"
"Rangers, Alpha and I wanted to congratulate you on this victory," Zordon said.
"Thank you Zordon," Tyler said.
"But due to the activation of Tor, Titanus had to return to its hiding spot because both Zords take up so much power that we can only have one out at a time," Zordon explained.
"That sucks," Jullian said.
"Well it makes sense," Z started, "But it is better to have Tor since it was built to withstand Serpentera."
In Zedd's throne room, Zedd and Goldar arrived still furious at what happened. "What happened, I thought Gear Master fixed the power supply," Rita said.
"I don't know," Zedd replied, "Any luck with Silver Hawk."
"It took some time, but Scorpina made him talk," Rita said.
"And look who it is," Scorpina said as she and Rito brought in Amanda and Dread.
"Well what a surprise," Rita said sarcastically.
"Amanda, why did you do it?" Zedd demanded.
"Zedd she is no good for you," Amanda said, "I'm better and I am willing to fight the Power Rangers. Rita does nothing and she is not worthy to be with you. I love you Zedd."
"No mother," Dread started, "You never loved father, you just wanted power and that is why you had me and used a spell to bound me to you so you can convince him to marry you."
"Shut up!" Amanda shouted as she slapped Dread.
"Well since you were after power and are incredibly unstable, I think you should be banished to another dimension," Zedd said as he crossed his staff with Rita and fired lightning and when it hit Amanda and disappeared.
"What about me father?" Dread asked.
"You are banished from this part of the galaxy," Zedd said calmly, "Now leave my palace."
"Thank you father," Dread said as he left the palace.
"As for the rest of you, fetch me Gear Master and drag him back here!" Zedd commanded his three generals.
Somewhere on the moon, Gear Master was pack up his equipment into his ship. "So you're Gear Master."
Gear Master turned to see Sharktor. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I am Sharktor," he introduced himself; "I came to reclaim something that wasn't yours."
"Like hell I'll let you!" Gear Master said, "Cogs attack!"
The Cogs walked out of Gear Master's ship and got ready to fight Sharktor. "Override code: 4KW-01A," Sharktor said as the Cogs stopped moving.
"What's going on!" Gear Master demanded.
"They are returning to who they were built to serve," another voice said.
Gear Master was in shock as he recognized the voice, "Impossible, you were destroyed by the Power Rangers."
"I was," a shadow figure said as he grabbed Gear Master and tossed him into a crater, "And I repaired by some Cogs that still serve their empire." The figure then fired yellow beams at Gear Master and Gear Master exploded. The figure turned to the Earth and said, "So the three things I was looking for are on one planet?"
"Yes," Sharktor said, "Once we get the Gold Ranger's power and the two Zords we can destroy anything that get's in our way."
"Good, but first let's take care of some older Rangers," the figure said as his eyes glowed yellow.
A/N: I'm guessing that some you might of thought that this would be the end of series 2, but as you can see they have one more thing to deal with before the end of series 2.
