Chapter 74: Facing the Past

In a dark cave, a figure covered in black and white feathers covering its body. "Finally," it said, "With the Gatekeeper's Staff I will be able to destroy the Power Rangers."

At the Commander Center, the Rangers were practicing with their new weapons. Few targets appeared behind Chris. "Chris behind you!" Brittany swung her fan to create a gust of wind that swooped up the targets.

Emile and Tyler pulled out their Blasters and fired at the targets.

Jon swung his bo at the targets knocking them towards his teammates. "Heads up!" he shouted.

Paige jumped into the air and used her claws to cut the targets. "Piece of cake," she said.

Haley swung her hammer hitting one and knocking to another targets.

"Okay guys let's practice one more thing before we take a break," Tyler said with the other Rangers. "Activate, holographic demon." Soon a digital copy of the past demon, Dark Mist, appeared in front of the Rangers. "Okay guys let's focus the light." The Rangers' fists started to glow in their colors and then they did a straight punch to fire beams of light at the digital monster.

The digital Dark Mist dodged the beams and tossed a few spikes from its large arm. Before the spikes hit the Rangers, they disappeared along with Dark Mist. "As usual, they keep dodging the attack," Emile said as the Rangers demorphed.

"Well let's rest for now before we figure out how to bind the enemy," Jon suggested.

The team agreed and left the training room and returned to the Power Chamber. "Rangers we saw your training, you're really improving," Alpha commented.

"Yeah but we still need to find a way to stop the enemies in their tracks," Paige said.

"Maybe to bind the enemy it takes something other than the Light Power," Dimitria said.

"I think I know what you are…" Tyler was interrupted by the alarms.

"Ayeyaiyai! Two demons are terrorizing the park!" Alpha shouted in panic.

"Alpha put the demons on the viewing globe," Dimitria instructed.

Alpha pressed a few button and the viewing globe showed the demons that surprised the Rangers. "Dancing Blade and Knightmare," Chris said, "But how is that possible?"

"Who knows, but we need to stop these demons again," Tyler said, "Let's do it!"

Tyler and the rest of the Rangers teleported out of the Command Center.

In the park, the Rangers arrived to see the two demons they defeated. "Ah Power Rangers, we meet again," Knightmare said.

"You two, how did you return?" Jon demanded to know.

"I'm afraid we cannot disclose that information," Dancing Blade said. as she jumped into the air and spin causing her hair to extend and hit Jon with the blade at the end.

The Rangers got their Spirit Weapons and started to fight the two demons.

Knightmare swung his large sword at the Rangers only to hit Chris and Haley. Jon and Paige jumped into the air and hit the demon with their weapon.

Dancing Blade was deflecting the other three Rangers attacks. She knocked away Tyler's bolts, stopped the winds from Brittany's fan, and deflected Emile's blades. "It is no use Rangers, I won't fall as easily like last time!" she taunted.

"Well I got a trick up my sleeve," Emile said as he jumped up a tree. "Shark's Dive!" Emile kicked off the tree with the blades on his weapon being held out in front of him. Soon green energy surrounded him in a form of a shark and flew right though Dancing Blade.

"What?!" Knightmare shouted seeing what happened.

Haley raised her hammer and shouted, "Bear's Slam!" yellow energy in the form of a bear swinging its claw at with the swing of Haley's hammer, hitting Knightmare.

The two demons screamed in pain as they fell backwards and exploded.

"Now that's taken care of," Chris said.

Before the Rangers could teleport, their Communicators went off. "What is it Alpha?"

"Rangers, Greedy-Guts and Dark Mist appeared at the mall parking lot!" Alpha told them.

"Mall is not that far," Tyler said, "Let's use the Power Cycles."

The rest of the team agreed on it and summoned their motorcycles then drove to the mall.

On the moon, Rita was watching what was happening. "Hey Zeddy, any Idea why there are demons attacking the Power Rangers?" she asked her husband.

"Demons?" Zedd pondered, "I never summoned any new demons."

Rito came by and took a peak to see the Rangers confronting the familiar demons. "Didn't the Rangers destroy those demons?" he asked, "I mean I remember that Greedy Guts was the first demon you summoned and Dark Mist was summoned by Thrax."

Zedd looked to see the demons fighting. "How is it possible?! The Rangers destroy their cards," Zedd said.

"It will be my doing," a voice said.

The villains turned to see a humanoid creature that had black and white feathers and its right wing was white while the left wing was black. It was also holding a black and white twisted staff. "Who are you?!" Zedd demanded.

"I am Medium and I am your solution to destroy the Power Rangers," it said, "Hrigt, Fetl, and myself are part of an ancient race that are the true guardians of the Shadow World."

"But what about the one that sided with Bansheera?" Rita asked.

"That was a lesser demon created when Hrigt and Fetl were sealed into a card," Medium explained, "Now I need your three generals to find the three jewels for my staff."

"Alright," Zedd said, "Goldar, Scorpina, get in here!" the other two generals walked in with aprons on. "You two are off your punishment due to you are needed to help Medium."

"Good, because at the end of this I will release hell on Earth," Medium added.

At the mall parking lot, the Rangers were finishing the fight against the demons.

"Wolf Slash!" with a quick motion he swung his sword out of his sheath and blue energy flew from the sword that slowly transformed into a pack of wolves charging at Greedy-Guts.

"Ape Smash!" Jon twirled his bo as energy turned into an ape and he swung the bo at Dark Mist.

"Not again!" Dark Mist shouted as he and Greedy-Guts fell and exploded.

The Communicators went off again, "Rangers, three more demons showed up," Alpha said, "Iced Cerberus is in Youngstown, Cursed Swords are at the school, and a new demon is back at the park."

"Great three demons now," Tyler said, "Okay, Chris, Brittany, and Haley go deal with Cursed Swords. Jon, Paige, and Emile go after Iced Cerberus. And I'll see what this new demon is."

The Rangers nodded and got on their Power Cycles and drove off to fight more demons.

In Youngstown, the streets are covered in ice and the Rangers soon found the ice demon. "Ah Power Rangers," it started, "I was waiting for our next meeting on the battle field."

"Well we are going to stop you again!" Jon shouted as they pulled out their weapons.

At the high school, the Rangers were close to the school when a sword flew through the air and almost hit them. "Well Power Rangers, never thought we will fight again," the sword said as it return to the headless armor.

"We already defeated once and we are willing to do it again!" Chris shouted as they got their weapons ready.

Back at the park, Tyler was riding his bike in the park, looking for the third demon. Suddenly there was a laser blast that knocked Tyler off of his bike. "Well, well, well, the White Ranger came to fight me himself."

Tyler looked around and saw Medium on top of the playground tower. "You are you?" Tyler asked.

"I am Medium," he introduced himself, "You can think of me as the child of Hrigt and Fetl."

"So you are here for revenge," Tyler said.

"You can say that but I've got bigger plans," Medium said as he charged at Tyler.

In a dark valley of some sorts, Z opened his eyes to this place. "Where am I?" he asked.

"You are standing on the edge of the Other Realm," a woman answered.

Z looked around until he saw a beautiful woman with blonde hair and in black armor. "Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Belle, the Black Dusk Ranger," the woman replied, "And you are?"

"I'm Z, the Shadow Ranger that Zordon choose," Z replied.

"You use the Dark Power?" Belle asked and Z nodded in reply, "I'm surprised, Zordon never truly trusted me. Yet he chooses someone with the Dark Power. You know the only one who trusted me was Morna. Sorry I know you didn't come just to hear about the Dawn Rangers."

"Well I came because I can't become a Ranger anymore," Z answered.

Belle placed her hand and Z chest, "Your animal spirit needs to be release and there is only one way to release it," she explained.

"I'll do anything," Z said.

Suddenly Z was engulfed in darkness.

Back in Youngstown, Emile and Paige were knocking away the ice chunks that Iced Cerberus was firing at them. "We need to get around!" Paige shouted.

Chris then landed in front of them cutting the ice chunks. "Paige get behind the demon while me and Emile distract the heads," he instructed.

"Okay," Paige agreed as she got out of the line of fire.

As the frozen demon was continuing its fire at the Green and Blue Rangers, Paige was climbing on the side of the building and then jumped with the claws held out. "Panther's Pounce!" Orange energy surrounded her in shape of a panther and hit Iced Cerberus who blew up on impact.

"Okay now let's go help Tyler," Tyler said.

Jon was deflected the blades of Cursed Swords. Haley slammed here hammer on the ground making the demon loose balance. "You cannot defeat us this time!" Cursed Swords shouted.

"You are over confident!" Brittany shouted as she swing her fan she created a gust of wind where her animal spirit flew with it. "Crane's Flight!"

When the animal spirit hit the demon, it fell over and exploded.

"Alright with that over, let's go help Tyler," Haley said as the three got back on their bikes and drove off.

Tyler dodged another laser blast from Medium. He pulled out his Spirit Lance and clashed with Medium's staff.

Medium trip Tyler and held his staff towards the Ranger's chest. "You cannot hope to defeat me White Ranger," he said.

Sparks hit of off Medium and Tyler looked up to see the rest of the team ready to fight. "Well looks like things just got fair," Jon said as they lined up with their leader.

Dark energy gathered in Medium's hands, "I see you defeated those demons, well here is round 2!" The dark energy formed around the Rangers and became the six demons.

"How is that possible?" Brittany asked.

Medium started to laugh at the Rangers. "Why do you think my name is Medium? My kind is capable of bringing back the dead! But unfortunately at my state I can only bring back six back from the dead," the demon explained.

"And we'll make sure you can't summon anymore!" Chris shouted as he and Emile pulled out their Spirit Lances and jump over the revived demons only to be stopped by Cursed Swords.

"You Rangers have no idea what you are dealing with," Medium said as approached the Rangers, "Once everything is ready not even an army of Power Rangers can stop me."

"You are just over confident," Paige said, "Just like the rest of the monsters we faced."

"Your are the ones to talk, you cannot defeat an army from the Shadow World," Medium gloated.

"Shadow World? Bansheera tried that already," Haley pointed out.

"She was a fool," Medium stated, "She didn't have the tool to control the damned monsters. But unlike her true plan I will use the monsters to destroy the world."

"What do you mean her true plan?" Tyler asked.

"Let's just say her, her loyal demons, and another of your great evils were from our own realm," Medium explained.

"What?!" the Rangers couldn't believe what they heard.

"Now that is out of the way; capture them!" Iced Cerberus breath out a white mist at the Rangers.

Tyler was able to avoid the mist, but he saw that the mist frozen his friends into solid blocks of ice. "No!"

Medium only chuckled, "That's good, take the frozen Rangers to the ritual spot." the demons obeyed the command and disappeared taking the Rangers with them, but Cursed Swords remained behind. "Why are you still here?"

"We were wondering if we can take care of the White Ranger," Cursed Swords replied.

"Fine," Medium said as he pulled out a Dark Jewel, "Use this if you need to."

"Thank you," Cursed Swords said as Medium teleported out of there.

Tyler was still in shock of what happened. "I see you are not responsive so destroying you will be easy," Cursed Swords said as it got it's swords ready.

When it swung its swords, Tyler heard something stopping the blades. He looked up and was surprised at who it was. "Ninjor!?"

"Hey Tyler, sorry for my recovery for taking too long," Ninjor said as he strike Cursed Swords.

"No problem, glad to have you back," Tyler said.

"I remember you ninja," Cursed Swords said, "Looks like I need to take this to the big leagues!"

Cursed Swords tossed the Dark Jewel into the air and smashed it in between the two swords. Energy surged though the swords and the body and Cured Swords grew into a giant.

"Let's do it Ninjor!" Tyler shouted.

"Right!"

"By the power of the Eternal Light, I summon my Spirit Zord!"

In a bright flash, the Falcon Zord flew in and Tyler teleported into the cockpit.

Ninjor used his power to grow into a giant.

Cursed Swords swung its swords at Ninjor, only for him to block the attack and counter. The Falcon Zord flew towards the demon firing lasers at it.

Cursed Swords grabbed the Zord and tossed it at Ninjor.

"You demons kidnap my friends and wish to destroy their homes! It makes me furious!" Ninjor shouted as he turned into his Battle Mode.

Ninjor pulled out his sword and slashed Cursed Swords multiple times. the demon dropped its swords and the body exploded.

"Now that's taken care of..." Tyler was interrupted when another headless armor appeared.

"Did you forget?" Cursed Swords said as the armor held up the swords, "We are the Cursed Swords!"

"I forgot," Tyler said, "No matter I've got a trick up my sleeve." Tyler pulled out the Dragon Dagger and started playing it.

In a nearby body of water, Dragonzord rose up and walked on land.

Tyler play another melody that made the lights on Dragonzord flash and it fired missiles at the demon. Then the drill tail started to spin and it swung the tail at Cursed Swords knocking them out of the armor's hands.

"My turn!" Ninjor shouted as he fired a ball of energy at Cursed Swords destroying them both.

In a tunnel, Medium and the demons were getting ready to start the ritual. "Soon Hell will break loose," he whispered.
