Chapter 73: Stick Together
It was late day at school, it was the last period where older students have their last period or leave school earlier. And some students stay behind for some things. At this time Chris and Emile were in the school's library.
"Is this the book?" Emile asked grabbing one of the books off the shelf.
"Don't think so," Chris said.
"Okay, I think there is another book over here," Emile said walking to another shelf.
Outside in the hallway, Tyler noticed the two and decided to walk up to the two. "Hey guys," he greeted, "What are you doing here?"
"Hey Tyler, I got a project to finish up and Emile is here helping me."
"Well since we have no practice today I thought I could help Chris out," Emile explained, "But I think Jon and Haley are practicing on their dance for the concert."
"And if I remember correctly Paige and Brittany are going out for a bit," Chris added.
"That's good to know everyone is busy with other things other than our other commitments," Tyler said getting nods from the two other Rangers.
On the moon, Rita was watching the Rangers with an evil smile. "I know that face," Zedd started as he approached his wife, "You have an evil scheme."
"Oh Zeddy, you can read me like a book," Rita giggled, "I do have a plan to get rid of the Power Rangers. It involves a new spell that I learned."
"What spell is it?" Zedd asked wanting to know.
"Just watch the blue and green dweebs," Rita said as she pointed her staff at Earth and fired a purple beam.
In the library, Emile was reaching for a book on a high shelf, with Chris next to him. The two didn't notice the purple beam hitting them. The moment the beam hit, the shelf Emile was reaching for fell making all the books fall on Chris.
"What was that for?" Chris almost shouted.
"I'm sorry Chris, I didn't mean to do that," Emile apologized.
"Like hell, you had to do that on purpose!" Chris said
"What is your problem, I apologized already!" Emile argued back.
In the school auditorium, Jon and Haley were practicing for a dance number for the upcoming concert.
"Okay Jon let's try again," Haley said.
"Alright," Jon said as they got in position for the dance.
The two started the choreography and in the middle of the dance a purple beam hit the two and Haley fall to the ground. "You tripped me!" she accused.
"No I didn't, you tripped on your own!" Jon shouted back.
At the local plaza, Paige and Brittany were checking out the stores. "Want to check out this store?" Paige asked.
"Sure," Brittany replied.
The purple beam hit the two as Paige opened the door and hit Brittany. "What was that for!" she shouted.
"I didn't do anything!"Paige shouted back, "You ran into it!"

Zedd was watching what was happening on Earth. "Oh that's rich Rita," he said, "What is that spell?"
"I call it 'It Your Fault' spell," Rita replied, "When the Rangers are with the other they were zapped with they will have accidents."
"But what if they stay away from each?" Zedd asked his wife.
"Don't worry; Rito is getting something for you to make a monster," Rita replied with a twinkle in her eye.
As if on cue Rito walked into the throne room with a box, "Okay sis, why did you send me to get a bunch of glue?" he asked.
Zedd gave an evil chuckle when he figured out his wife's plan, "Now I see what you got planned." Zedd raised his staff over the box, "Arise!"
Lightning hit the box and all the glue poured out and formed into a humanoid blob, "Sticky Glue has arise!" it shouted in a deep voice.
"Now Sticky Glue go and take care of the Power Rangers," Zedd commanded.
"As you wish my lord," the monster said as it teleported to Earth.
Back at the library, Chris and Emile were picking up books until their Communicators went off. The two answered it. "Rangers, there is a monster in the park," Dimitria said, "Tyler won't be able to make it."
The two nodded before they grabbed their stuff and walked towards the door and both tripped each other.
At the park, people were running from the glob of a monster. "You can run from me, but can you run from yourselves!" Sticky Glue shouted as it extended its hands at two people and slammed them together.
"Stop right there!" Jon shouted as the Rangers arrived with weapons in hand.
"Six Rangers? Where is the seventh?" Sticky Glue asked.
"We are more than enough to stop you," Paige said.
"Try me," Sticky Glue taunted as the Rangers got ready.
"Don't trip me," Emile told Chris.
"Funny, I was going to say the same thing to you," Chris replied.
The two Rangers jumped into the air ready to attack the monster. "Too easy!" it shouted as its hand grabbed the two Ranger's legs and slammed them together.
Haley slammed her hammer on the ground, causing Sticky Glue to wobble. "That was worthless," Jon mocked.
"Let's see you do better," Haley said.
"Gladly," Jon said as he swung his bo at monster.
The glob monster dodged the attack, "I see some trust issues here," it said as it grabbed an arm from Jon and Haley and slammed them together.
Paige and Brittany sighed at what they saw, "Pathetic," Paige said.
"Tell me about it," Brittany replied.
"Don't think I forgot about you!" Sticky Glue shouted as it grabbed the last two female Rangers' backs and slammed them together. "Well Rangers, I'm starting to dry out so I'll be back another time." Sticky Glue then teleported out of there, soon followed by the Rangers being teleported out of there.
At the Command Center, the Rangers were dimorph as they landed on the floor. They all raise their heads to see Tyler standing in front of them. "What was that?" he asked a little irritation in his voice.
"Well…" Jon started to explained as got up, but he noticed that his right forearm was connected be an clear substance to Haley's left forearm.
"What is this?" Haley asked.
Emile and Chris saw that they were connected by the legs with clear substance, while the clear substance connected Paige and Brittany by their backs.
"Looks like some sort of glue," Alpha said, "Stickly Glue must of put it on you when he touched you."
"So how do we get rid of this stuff?" Paige asked as she and Brittany struggled to get up.
"I don't know," Alpha said as he took out a small device and scanned the Rangers. "Oh, I'm sorry Rangers but it will take a while to figure out how to break this substance."
"So what are we suppose to do?" Chris asked.
"Well it seems some civilians were hit the same glue," Tyler said, "So they might get go easy on them until this is over. Till then you just have to make due."
The other Rangers were about to argue back but they all fell to the ground. Tyler buried his face into his hand, "You better figure it out fast Alpha."
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were laughing at happened to the Rangers. "Oh this rich! With the Rangers stuck together they won't be able stop us!"
"Well along with that spell Rita used the Rangers will be stuck forever," Sticky Glue said as he walked into the throne room.
"Not to brag, but it could be my most brilliant plan," Rita said.
"I agree and I won't fail you," Sticky Glue said shaking Rita's hand, "And I won't fail you as well my lord." Sticky Glue shook Zedd's hand before it back to Earth.
"Ah Rita," Zedd started as he wrapped his arm around Rita, "This could be the best plan ever."
"I know Zeddy," Rita said as she did the same to her husband.
When the two tried to walk away, but they couldn't, "Rita, you can let go," Zedd said.
"Funny, I was about to say the same to you," Rita replied.
The next day at school, there were multiple student who were hit by the glue monster and were stuck in a pair or more. The principle excused any students that have to miss class to those who were glued together. The six Rangers who glued together, were having problems of their own.
"Damn it Chris, we have to step in rhythm!" Emile shouted.
"Hey you were the one who tripped us both up!" Chris barked back.
In the cafeteria, Jon was finishing up on a paper, but due to his arm being glued to Haley's arm, so when he moves his arm he moves Haley's arm. "How much do you have to write!" Haley snapped at him.
"Well sorry, but due to the attack yesterday I couldn't finish it!" Jon shouted back.
Paige and Brittany were having the worst time out of all the Rangers, they kept falling down and they couldn't get comfortable anywhere. "Stop tripping me you klutz!" Paige shouted as the two girls are trying to get up again.
"Hey you are the one tripping me!"
From a distance Tyler sighed from what he was seeing. Z's copy walked up to him, "Please tell me that the real you is close to the temple," he said.
"Close, but it could still take some time," Z's copy said.
The day went on with the Rangers tripping over each other, but all hell broke loose during lunch time. The six Rangers were walking down the hallway and one of the pairs tripped making all of them fall. When they were all down the Rangers and they were arguing so loud that it was drawing in students. "Shut up!" Tyler shouted getting everyone's attention, "You six follow me."
The six Rangers did what their leader commanded and followed him to the empty music hallway. "What's wrong with you guys, ever since yesterday you guys can't go five minutes without biting each others' heads off," Tyler said, "You guys went through hell together for over a year and small accidents are driving you apart. Until you guys stop acting like children you are not to be Power Rangers."
"What!" the other Rangers shouted.
Tyler used this moment to use his Ninjetti powers to snatch the morphers that were hidden on their persons. "Now if you excuse me, I got some business to do," Tyler said before he teleported away.
At the Command Center, Tyler arrived and placed the morphers on the console. "Tyler why are you here?" Alpha said, "You should be at school."
"Sorry but I need to know if you figured out how to get the Rangers unglued," Tyler said.
"Well we found that the only way to unglue everyone is to destroy the monster," Alpha replied, "But with the Rangers have a spell on them that dose something different to them."
"How do we break the spell?" Tyler asked.
"Isn't there a word that is used all the time and has no meaning unless the person means it?" Dimitria asked.
Tyler was puzzled from what Dimitria said. "I think I know what you mean," Tyler said, "But for now I'm going after the monster."
"I you are going after the monster then take these new upgrades," Dimitria said.
Alpha pulled out a double barreled Blaster and what looked like a folded javelin, "Here Tyler your new Blaster and a Spirit Lance."
Tyler took the new sidearms and unfolded the Spirit Lance to see it looks the same only there were three points in triangle formation added at the end. "Thank you," Tyler said as folded the lance back up, "It's Morphin Time!"
Tyler was standing at the edge of a cliff in his Ninjetti out and a falcon was circling above him. Tyler jumped into the air as his Power Suit appeared on his body and the falcon glowed white and became his helmet. He lands and posed. "Falcon!"
At the park, Sticky Glue was wondering around looking for more people to stick together. "Where are those humans!" it shouted.
Then there was a lasers flying though the air and hit it. Sticky Glue turned to see Tyler. "Ah White Ranger we at last."
"Well it is unfortunate that you ran into me," Tyler started as he replaced his Blaster with a Spirit Lance, "Because I'll destroy you."
"Well I can't wait to stick to random objects," Sticky Glue said as it lashed its arm at Tyler, but he dodge the arm and countered. "Well looks like you are going to be a challenge."
"I'm a little bit more level headed then the other yesterday," Tyler said as he charged at the monster.
Back at school, the Rangers were still in the music hallway. "You know Tyler is right," Jon said, "We were acting immature."
"We're friends and we went through a lot together," Haley said.
"Yeah, we stared evil in the face," Paige said.
"And we destroyed the fabled Prince of Darkness," Emile added.
"As Rangers, we should of be able to settle this like adults," Brittany said.
"Everyone makes mistakes, even Power Rangers like us," Chris said, "Emile I'm sorry about yelling at you yesterday, it wasn't your fault."
"Well I need to apologize too since I bit your head off too," Emile apologized.
"I'm also sorry for yelling at you Jon," Haley said, "You're getting those moves down perfectly."
"And I'm also sorry for yelling at you," Jon replied.
"Brittany, I'm also sorry for us fighting. I don't even know why we were fighting," Paige said.
"I feel the same way," Brittany said.
Then the Rangers felt something and looked at where they were glued to see that the marital slowly disappearing. "We're free!" Haley shouted in enjoyment.
"Come on guys, knowing Tyler might be doing we should help out," Jon said.
"Right!" the other Rangers agreed as they left the hallway to hide to teleport out of there.
Back at the fight, Sticky Glue was getting tired out. "How can you keep dodging my glue?" it asked.
Soon Sticky Glue felt something hitting its back and turn to see the morphed female Rangers firing their new Blaster at it. then the three male Rangers jumped into the air slashed their Spirit Lances down on the monster. "How? Rita's spell was to drive you apart!"
The Rangers gathered to their leader's side. "We're friends and as friends you can break us apart," Jon replied.
"Good to see you guys are back to normal," Tyler said as he got his lance ready, "Now let's show him what happens when we work together."
"Right!" the Rangers shouted as they got their lances ready.
The Rangers' lances started to glow in the Rangers' colors and the Rangers threw them at Sticky Glue.
The seven lances pierce right through the monster.
"I cannot believe this!" Sticky Glue yelled as it fell and exploded.
The lances returned to the Rangers' hands. "Power Rangers!"
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were noticing that the glue was slowly dissolving away. "Finally the glue is gone!" Zedd said.
"I know we haven't been that close since the honeymoon," Rita said, "Like the time we..."
"Don't want to hear it!" Rito interrupted from the other room.
At school, the students were relieved that the monster's glue was gone. The Rangers were able to sneak back in without anyone realizing that they were gone. "I'm so happy that were excused if we missed classed today," Emile said gathering the stuff he and the Rangers left behind.
"Amen to that," Paige said, "We got out and destroy the monster."
"Well just remember we can't make a habit out of it," Tyler added.
"We know," Chris said, "Let's just head to class."
On Pheados, Z was arriving at the Temple of the Eternal Light. "So this is the temple," Z whispered to himself.
Then Z felt someone kicking him in the back making him fall foward. "Thanks for bringing me here," a voice said.
Z looked up to see Hrigt pointing his spear at Z. "You," Z spat, "I thought my friends destroyed you."
"Well in terms the Rangers destroyed Fetl," Hrigt corrected, "But it won't matter once I destroy the Eternal Light, the Power Rangers will fall. And be gracious that I'm letting you live so you can witness the end of light."
"I don't think so!" Z shouted as he tossed a ball of darkness at the demon, forcing him away.
"Dark Power?" Hrigt said in amazement, "Can't believe a human can use it. But it won't be enough."
As Z got ready to fight the large door of the temple opened up and released a bright flash of light making Z wince from the brightness. "The light! It burns!" Hrigt shouted before he combusted into flames and then exploded.
"Welcome Shadow Ranger." Z look towards the light to see an older man in white robes. "I've been expecting you," he said in a gentle voice.
"Really? Then you know why I am here," Z said.
"Yes, you need me to help match your power with the rest of your team," the man said, "But in order to do that you must release the animal spirit in your darkness."
"But can you do it?" Z asked.
"I can't," the man replied, "It seems that your animal spirit used itself to fend the darkness from taking over your heart."
"What do I need to do then?" Z asked again.
"I don't know but I know someone in the darkness who might help," the man replied, "Would you want me to send you there?"
"I'll do anything to help my friends."
The man smiled at Z and used his power to turn Z into a ball of light and send him away."
In the Tengas' nest on the moon a large grey egg was starting to shake and crack.
