Chapter 77: The Red Planet part II
Jon slowly opened his eyes and saw the other Rangers demorphed. He turned to see a tall man in a royal blue robe typing on the panel. The man stopped typing and turned to face Jon, he faded away and all that remained was the form of Dark Specter. "You saw that form?" he asked.
Jon was confused at what he saw. "What are you really?" he said.
"I am a creature that commands the Dark Power," Dark Specter replied, "And I know you can use the Light Power, Ranger. That's why I knew you would recover faster than the others from my dark curse."
"Not surprised that an evil dictator came from the Other Realm to try to rule ours," Jon said as he stood up.
"Dictator?" Dark Specter repeated as he started to laugh darkly, "Shows how blind you Rangers and your mentor really are."
"What do you mean?! Jon demanded.
"Long ago, before the Ranger technology a king from what you call the Other Realm was banished after being over thrown by a creature known as the Overlord. Other then banishment he was split into two and sent them to different edges of the universe," Dark Specter started to explain, "One piece of the king went crazy and wild until it became the creature known as Maligore and was sealed away. The other part of the king was filled with hatred and rage to what happened to him a slowing transformed like Maligore. Do you understand what has happened?"
Jon couldn't help but stare at the grand monarch, "You were that king."
"Correct!" Dark Specter exclaimed, "I was once a benevolent king that was banished and is now full of hatred. So much hatred that I don't remember my own name."
Then the other Rangers started to regain conciseness and saw Jon talking to Dark Specter. "Join me Red Ranger of light; you and your team will be a fine addition to my army."
"Never!" Jon shouted.
"We don't know what you are planning Dark Specter! But you will never get a Power Rangers on your side!" Tommy shouted as the other Red Rangers got ready to fight.
"Foolish Power Rangers, do you think you can defeat me? I am the Grand Monarch of Evil!"
"We'll stop you!" Jason shouted "Let's do it!"
Right!" all the Red Rangers shouted.
"It's Morphin Time!" Jason, Rocky, Tommy, Acrico, Jon, and Miley morphed.
"Red Mighty Morphin Ranger!" Jason and Rocky shouted at the same time.
Red Aquitian Ranger!"
"Red Zeo Ranger!"
"Red Lux lucis Vis Ranger!"
"Red Jewel Ranger! "
"Shift into Turbo! Red Turbo Ranger!"
"Let's rocket! Red Space Ranger!"
"Go Galactic! Red Galaxy Ranger!"
"Lightspeed Rescue! Red Lightspeed Ranger!"
"Time for...Time Force! Red Time Force Ranger!"
"Quantum Power! Quantum Ranger!"
"Wild Access! Red Wild Ranger!"
"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Red Wind Ninja Ranger!"
"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form! Crimson Thunder Ninja Ranger!"
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Red Dino Ranger!"
"SPD, Emergency! S.P.D. Red Ranger!"
"Magical Source, Mystic Force! Red Mystic Ranger!"
"Overdrive Accelerate! Red Overdrive Ranger!"
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed! Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"
"RPM, Get in Gear! Red RPM Ranger!"
"Go Go Samurai! Red Samurai Ranger!"
Dark Specter let out a roar and a force pushed the Rangers back outside with the Dark Specter walking towards them. "Let's do it!" Tommy shouted as he pulled out his blaster.
"Right!" Jason, TJ, and Andros pulled out their blasters and fired at the monarch only for the lasers to be absorbed by the monster.
Dark let out a dark chuckle as he continues his approach to the Rangers.
All the Red Rangers pulled out their weapons and charged in at the Dark Spector.
"Legendary Source, Mystic Force!" Nick shouted as he transformed into his Legend Mode, "Element of Fire! Red Legend Warrior!"
Casey pulled out the Claw Booster, "Jungle Master Mode!" he shouted transforming into his Master Mode.
Casey flew towards the Dark Specter with the other Rangers while Nick got a spell ready. When Casey tried to land a hit on but Dark Specter grabbed him and tossed him to the ground. Nick then released a wave of fire but Dark Specter was unscathed.
"Is that all?" Dark Specter asked as he walked towards the Rangers.
The Rangers were concern now, and don't know what to do. Without thinking, Jason charged at the evil monarch, the moment he got close Dark Specter knocked him away with his claw.
The rest of the Rangers surrounded Dark Specter with weapons ready. Andros and Leo charged in first preparing to strike down the great evil, but the weapons bounced off Dark Specter's skin.
One by one, the Rangers charged in to do anything to harm Dark Specter, but he knocked away each Ranger with little effort. He gave a dark laugh and said, "As we fought, my power slowly returns to me." Then Dark Specter started to grow into a giant. "I will rule the universe."
"Now what?" Cole asked.
"We need to return to the Astro Megaship," Andros said.
The Rangers were about to return to the ship, but Rocky noticed something in the sky. "No way, not that again," he said.
Everyone looked and were in horror of what was coming, Serpentera was flying in and over the group. It landed not far from them.
"Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, I see you are corrupted again," Dark Specter said.
"Long time no see, Dark Specter," Zedd said.
"Come and join me again," Dark Specter offered, "We'll rule everything."
"We got a better idea," Rita said.
"Yes how about we rule the universe and you can just die!" Zedd finished.
"You dare to defy…" Dark Specter couldn't finish because Serpentera fired lightning at destroyed the Dark Specter. The Rangers were surprised at what they saw and were confused.
In the cockpit of Serpentera, Zedd was pressing a few buttons. "What are you doing?" Rita asked.
"A little plan my dear," Zedd replied and he got up with his staff, "I'll need to keep those fools busy." Then Zedd teleported out of there.
Zedd reappeared in front of the Rangers. "Lord Zedd!" Jason shouted, "What are you doing her?!"
"Hello Red Rangers," Zedd said, "I thought I would drop by since I'm red as well. And to figure out who destroyed Serpentera."
"It's best for you to leave since we got you out numbered," Aurico said.
"I don't think so," Zedd replied with a snap of his finger, the Demon Tengas appeared by his side.
"Geez, what happened to the Tengas?" Rocky asked.
"There Demon Tengas now," Jon replied as he got his Bo ready.
"Attack!" Zedd shouted and the Tengas charged at the Red Rangers.
Aurico, Jon, and Conner drew out their main weapons fending off the empowered Tengas. Aurico jumped into the air only to be kicked down by one of the Tengas.
"Need a boost?" Conner offer as he and Jon got their weapons ready.
"Sure," Aurico replied as he jumped back up and the two younger Red Rangers swung their weapon and the force sent Aurico flew though the and cut up a few Tengas.
Carter, Bridge, and Eric were firing their blasters at the flying Tengas. "I thought the target practice was difficult," Bridge said, missing a few shots.
"Maybe you need more practice," Eric stated as he shot a Tenga that was flying towards him.
Wes pulled out the Chrono Sabers to keep the Tengas away. Leo jump off a Tenga and landed near Wes. "Doing okay?" he asked.
"Could be better," Wes replied.
The Tengas plucked feathers off their wings and tossed them like blades. Red streaks flew through the air and knocked the feathers down. The streaks landed on the ground and it was Shane and Hunter.
"Street Saber Strike!" Scott shouted as he charged through the Tengas.
"Turbo Lightning Sword!" T.J. shouted.
"Revline Time!" Mack shouted joining the two.
With great speed the Tengas were having a hard time dodging the attacks.
Casey and Cole fought like animals taking down the Tenga. Casey flew out at a some of the Tengas and Nick got behind him and made a wave a fire to let Casey ride it and attack the Tengas.
Jayden pulled out his Fire Smasher, and he was whacking the Tengas away. Miley jumped in front of Jayden and slashed a few Tengas. "Enjoying yourself?" Miley asked.
"Kind of," Jayden replied.
Andros, pulled out his Spiral Saber Booster Mode and fired at the Tengas. "Keep your head in the fight!" he shouted.
Tommy, Jason, and Rocky were standing in front of their old enemy. "So, we meet again on the field of battle Rangers," Zedd said.
"We don't know what you are planning Zedd, but we let you win," Tommy said as the three got ready to fight.
"Why do you need to get in those fighting poses?" Zedd asked, "Do they really help you fight?"
The three Red Rangers charged in at Zedd, he used his staff to knock the first Rangers away. "Don't try to think you can stop me," Zedd said as he fired lightning from his staff.
Rocky jumped into the air and kicked Zedd and then Jason and Tommy pulled out their swords and clashed with the Z-staff.
"You three have no chance at beating me!" Zedd said as he shoved the swords away.
"Then how about against all of us!" Andros shouted. Zedd noticed that all Tengas were destroyed.
Rita was worried for her husband. "Might as well help out," she walked out on the head off Serpentera, "Magic Wand, make my Zeddy grow!" Rita tossed her staff and it landed near Zedd, confusing some of the Rangers. The red jewel on the staff glowed as the ground shook and opened up and releases a vent of steam that made Zedd grow.
"Are you sure you can fight me?" Zedd said.
"Okay, this is a problem," Leo said.
"Tommy, Jason, Rocky, and T.J., let's go back to the ship and used the Astro Megazord," Andros said.
"Right!" the four Rangers agreed as they returned to the ship with Andros.
"Luckily, Q-Rex has a teleported now," Eric said, "Q-Rex, transport!"
The Q-Rex appeared on the Mars and the Astro Megazord landed next to Q-Rex.
"Your toys are no match for me!" Zedd shouted as he got ready to fight.
The Megazord and Q-Rex charged at Zedd. He knocked away the sword of the Megazord and dodged the bite of the Q-Rex.
Q-Rex fired laser at Zedd hitting him. Zedd fired lightning at the Zords.
Then from the sky Ark with Tor connected to it. When Tor dropped from Ark, it opened up to reveal Dragonzord. The Dragonzord's chest and tail detached from it and its arms folded into its body then closed up to form a new chest compartment. Ark broke into four pieces and became the arms and legs became Dragonzord Battle Mode.
Jon's Communicator went off, he answered it. "Jon, Alpha was able to override Dragonzord's system to work with Ark to form its Battle Mode. But you'll need two more pilots due to Ark not being your Zord," Dimitria explained.
Jon turned to the closes Rangers, which were Miley and Jayden and said, "Guys I need two more pilots for Dragonzord, are you willing to help out?"
"I'm not sure we can pilot that Zord," Jayden said.
"Don't worry, you'll have us," Miley said as she to Jayden's hand.
"Yeah and I pilot this Zord before," Jon said as the three of them teleported to the cockpit. Jon sat in the middle with Miley to his left and Jayden to his right. "Okay Zedd you are now fighting older Rangers and newer Rangers," Jon said.
"I don't care what you have, I will win!" Zedd shouted.
Q-Rex transformed into its Megazord Mode and it fired missiles at Zedd.
He deflected the missiles, but Dragonzord charged in to strike Zedd, who was holding the Power Staff with his own. The Astro Megazord took the chance to strike Zedd from behind.
"You'll pay for that!" Zedd said as he extended his hand and balls of fire flew from his hand and hit the Zords.
"It's time to finish this fight!" Andros shouted as the Astro Megazord jumped into the air and slashed Zedd's staff.
Q-Rex launched its fist and hit Zedd's staff.
Then the drill on the Power Staff started to spin and it swung the staff and hit Zedd's staff and this blow broke his staff into two.
"Cursed Power Rangers!" Zedd shouted, "You may won this round, but I'll be back!" Zedd then teleported out of there, causing the Rangers to celebrate.
Back in the cockpit of Serpentera, Zedd return with the broken staff. Rita quickly rushed in to hug her husband, "Oh Zeddy, I was so worried!"
"Don't worry my dear," Zedd started to comfort his wife, "I planned to throw the fight as Serpentera did what I programmed it."
Serpentera started to fly into space. "So what were you doing?" Rita asked.
Zedd gave a dark chuckle to his wife, "I had Serpentera absorb Dark Spector's power." Then a ball of dark energy emerge from the controls, "With his power we can finally destroy the Power Ranger forever!"
As Zedd started to laugh manically, to be joined by Rita, "Oh Zeddy, without the Power Rangers it will be like being on an endless honeymoon," she said.
Suddenly the two were in a dark place and the ball of energy was out of Zedd's hands. "I cannot let you have that power yet," a creature with five voices said.
"Why not?" Zedd demanded.
"Because that time haven't come yet," the creature said, "But you'll get it back at the end of the campaign of the Power Rangers you are fighting."
"So we are supposed to go home without anything?" Rita asked.
"Don't worry I have something that was also being brought back with Dark Spector," the creature said as a small locked box appeared in Zedd's hands.
The couple were back into the cockpit of Serpentera, they opened the box and smiled when they saw the contents.
Back on Earth, the Red Rangers returned to the hanger. "Well guys at least Dark Specter is gone," Tommy said.
"True, but why was Lord Zedd on Mars as well?" Jason asked.
"Who knows," Jon said, "But I can promise you that my team will deal with it."
"Glad to know that Dragonzord is serving you well," Tommy said.
"Well we should all be on guard till we know what Zedd is planning," Andros said.
The Red Rangers said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, while Jon was the only one who teleported out of there.
In space, Broodwing was traveling in his ship and talking to a silhouette on a screen. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but it seems my lab on Mars was destroyed," he said.
"It's okay," the silhouette said, "I'm sure Zedd and Rita got the project you finished. I'll still pay you for your work."
"Thank you," Broodwing said, "If you need anything you know where to call me.
"There's no need to," the silhouette said, "I'll be returning to Earth after I am done with what I'm doing."
A/N: Sorry for being late, I hope you all enjoy it. And I'm letting the reader decide if I should have a team up with the Samurai Rangers.
