Chapter 86: Graduation Day
On the moon, Zedd and Rita got Psycho White. "Psycho White!" Zedd started, "Your team have been destroyed! Do you have anything to say before we decide if we should destroy you or not!?"
"My Lord, I have the ideal plan to destroy the Power Rangers," Psycho White replied.
"We heard that before!" Rita shouted
"But this one will work," Psycho White replied, "The Rangers will not be able to stop it."
Zedd and Rita looked at each other and Zedd replied, "Okay, you have one last chance."
A few days past and with was a big day for the Rangers, it was graduation day. Their first step out of high school and to adulthood. The Rangers were gathered at the school and wait with their fellow students. Family and friends of the Rangers were gathering in the gym where the ceremony was going to be at. Once the music started, the students started to walk in an orderly fashion. The boys were dressed in maroon while the girls were in white. The students took their seats and the principle started his speech. Once he was done, the student body president came up to do his speech. Once he was finished, everyone applaud until it died down, but there was still someone clapping.
Soon Psycho White walked out from behind the bleachers, "Yes, let us congratulate the Senior class for making to this point in their lives. But there are eight teens that made it though worst." The Rangers were worried about the Psycho revealing their secret identities. "Don't worry I won't tell you who they are, but I'm here to see if the Rangers are ready to take the next step." With a snap of his fingers, a portal was starting to form above the students.
People started to panic and tried to run for the main exit, only to be stopped by Goldar, Scorpina, and Rito. When they went for the entrances to the locker rooms Tengas were blocking the way. Then Zedd and Rita appeared nest to Psycho White. "Sorry but you need to stay in here!" Rita said.
The people panic more and some wondered where were the Power Rangers. Then there was a bright glow in the gym and the Rangers saw that the gym was emptied and the only thing that remained were them, the villains, and the portal above them.
"What did you do?!" Tyler demanded.
Zedd let out an evil chuckle before he started to explain, "We just sent everyone to another dimension." Zedd turned his head to the white Psycho, "We leave the rest to you." Soon all the villains and their foot soldiers left and Psycho White remained.
The Rangers took off their robes, to reveal the Ninjetti outfits and got ready to fight. "You should just give up Psycho White," Jon warned, "We defeated your team."
"Who cares for those pathetic bunch," Psycho White replied, "Besides, who said I was weak like them?" Then Psycho White fired lightning at the Rangers, who dodged and pulled out their Morphers.
"It's Morphin Time!"
Z was standing on a tree branch in his Ninjetti outfit and an owl flew past him. Z jumped tree to tree fallowing the owl. His Power suit appeared on his body and the owl glowed black and became his helmet. Z landed on the ground and posed. "Owl!"
Emile was standing on the edge of an island in his Ninjetti outfit and a shark jumped out of the water. Emile jumped into the water and swam with the shark. His Power Suit appeared on his body and the shark glowed green and became his helmet. Emile jumped out of the water and on the island and posed. "Shark!"
Brittany was standing in the middle of the wetlands in her Ninjetti outfit and a crane flew over her. Brittany followed the crane as her Power Suit appeared on her body and the crane glowed pink and became her helmet. She stopped and posed. "Crane!"
Chris was standing in the middle of the woods in his Ninjetti outfit and a wolf ran past him. Chris started to chase the wolf as his Power Suit appeared on his body and the wolf glowed blue and became his helmet. He stopped and posed. "Wolf!"
Paige was standing in the middle of the forest in her Ninjetti outfit and a panther ran past her. Paige started to chase the panther as her Power Suit appeared on her body and the panther glowed orange and became her helmet. She stopped and posed. "Panther!"
Haley was standing in the middle of the forest in her Ninjetti outfit and a bear ran past her. Paige started to chase the bear as her Power Suit appeared on her body and the bear glowed yellow and became her helmet. She stopped and posed. "Bear!"
Jon was standing in the middle of the tropical forest in his Ninjetti outfit and an ape ran past him. Jon started to chase the ape as his Power Suit appeared on his body and the ape glowed red and became his helmet. He stopped and posed. "Ape!"
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!"
The Rangers pulled out their weapons and charged at Psycho White.
In the dimension that everyone was sent to, Aref stood up and saw that there were brick walls surrounding him. "Where am I?" he muttered.
Aref was quiet for a bit and he heard crying. Children, men, women, they were all afraid of what Zedd might do to them. Soon he heard a familiar laughter, he looked up to the sky to see Zedd's head in the sky. "Greeting humans," he started, "By now you should know that I am Lord Zedd, the Emperor of Evil."
"Still full of himself," Aref whispered.
"As for why you are here, we set this up to prove to the Power Rangers that they can't save everyone. But we decided that you can save yourself if you can. We made this dimension a giant maze where you must find the exit. Be warn though, in the maze the Putties are lurking as well. You have three hours to escape before the portal seals up forever!" Soon Zedd's head was replaced with a timer and one of the walls lowered.
Aref proceeded with caution. He tried the best he could to get out of this maze. Then he saw a Putty turn a corner, it was different, not as powerful as the other Putties he saw. 'Must be the Putties Rita started off with,' he said in his head.
The Putty noticed Aref and began to attack. Aref was able to dodge the attack and countered and did a few quick jabs to the Putty. It fell on the ground and disappeared.
Suddenly another Putty was tossed into a wall, Aref turned around to see the fading Putty and Courtney. "Hey," she greeted.
"See that you are doing alright," Aref replied.
"Let's cut the talking and get out of here," Courtney said as she and Aref continued the traverse the maze.
Jon and Z swung their lances down on Psycho White, who blocked them with the Psycho Staff. Paige and Haley attacked with their weapon. Psycho White got out of the way and the two girls hit their teammates. "Sorry," Paige said.
Then the four of them fired their blasters and the Psycho tossed a few Empty Jewels into the air and the lasers followed the jewels and were absorbed into them. "Nice to have some Empty Jewels on you?" he muttered.
Psycho White pulled out the Psycho Sling and fired at the four Rangers.
Chris hit Psycho White in the back. White pulled out the Psycho Sword and Axe and tried to attack Chris. Tyler fired his crossbow and White tossed the axe to knock the bolts down.
Brittany made a large gust of wind to lift Psycho White up and Emile jumped and hit him with his tonfas to hit him.
With the bow, Psycho White fired arrows at the Rangers. "You need to work harder Rangers. That portal won't stay open forever," he said.
"What do you mean?" Haley said.
"Oops," Psycho White sarcastically said while putting his hand over his mouth, "Did I forget to tell you about that."
"What's going on!?" Emile demanded.
"Well in less than three hours the portal that took every one with close forever," Psycho White explained, "And there is nothing you Rangers can do about it."
"The Rangers always find a way!" Ninjor shouted as he rode in on a cloud and he jumped off of it and kicked the Psycho. "The Power Rangers always find a way to save everyone!"
"But not this time!" Psycho White shouted as he pulled out the Psycho Claws.
Paige clashed with White and tried to hold him down. When Ninjor and Chris tried to attack from behind, but White tossed Paige hit the heroes.
On the moon, Zedd and Rita were watching the fight. "This is perfect," Zedd started, "The Rangers can never defeat Psycho White!"
"Finally a world without Power Rangers," Rita said, "A perfect world to raise a family."
"Another honeymoon in paradise?" Rito said.
"It is!" Rita screeched, "Me and Zedd need some time to relax."
Rito turned to the other generals, "Did they forget about the second honeymoon they had around the time Rangers started their senior year?" he whispered.
"Let's not push it," Goldar said.
In the maze, Aref and Courtney were still trying to find their way out of the maze. "Just how big is this place?" Aref said.
"Don't know, but we need to keep our heads up," Courtney replied.
Soon the two ran into another group, it was Derrick and Matt, they were accompanied by some children. "Good we found more," Matt said.
"Matt!" Aref and Courtney shouted.
"Great to see that you are okay," Courtney said. Then she noticed Derrick, "You must be Derrick? I remember you when you were in high school."
"Yeah, I'm Z's brother," Derrick said. Then the children started to cry. "Hey don't cry, we'll get out."
"But we want our mommies and daddies!" a girl cried.
Courtney bends down to come eye to eye with the girl, "Don't worry, the Power Rangers will save everyone."
"Really?" a boy asked.
"Yeah, we know the Power Rangers," Matt said, "We know if anyone can save everyone, they can."
Then a Putty was behind them, but it was grabbed and slammed against the wall. Everyone turned around to see David. "God I hate these Putties," he said.
Above the massive maze, Finster and Scorpina were watching. "Looks like the Rangers' friends are getting together," Scorpina pointed out. Even the last two of their friends are together and they are all close together."
"It seems so," Finster replied, "But I know the remedy for this." The two teleported out of there.
Back on the moon, Scorpina accompanied Finster into his lab grabbing an old sculpture of a monster. "Finster!" Rita shouted as she walked into the lab, "Just what are you thinking!?"
"Well my queen, the Power Rangers friends are getting together in the maze and getting close to the end," Finster explained getting the Monster Maker ready.
"What!?" Rita shouted, "How can they be close to the end?!"
"I don't know," Finster replied, "That is why I'm getting a monster ready."
"You did you choose?" Rita asked.
Finster pulled the lever and the Monster Maker made a monster.
In the maze, The Rangers' friends were able to get back together and were guiding the children through the maze. Soon they arrived at a large opening that had a portal on one side. "We're almost there!" Julian shouted.
But then sparks erupted in front of them and the children started to cry. As they calmed the children a large red eyeball with bunch of smaller eyeballs got together and formed a monster. "There is no way I'm letting you out!" it said.
"Who are you?" Carly asked.
"I am Eye Guy! I've come back to be the gate guardian of this maze," the monster replied, "Now who has the balls to fight me?!"
"We'll fight you, but leave the children out of it," Courtney said.
"Why?! You should be fighting for your and their freedom!" Eye Guy's largest eye fired a beam and when it hit the children, they disappeared.
"What did you do!?" Matt demanded as anger seethed through them.
"Don't worry about the kids," Eye Guy replied, "They'll be safe for the time being."
While the friends got ready to fight until Scorpina with a bag appeared in front of them. "Great," David said, "The last thing we need."
"Don't worry," Scorpina replied as she tossed the bag at the friends' feet, "This is to even the playing field." With that she teleported out of there.
In the bag they saw weapons, not only that it was like the first weapons that the Rangers used. They quickly picked up the weapons and got ready. Aref had a sword, David had the whip, Matt had the axe, Courtney had the daggers, Julian had the guns, Derrick had the lance, and Carly had the bow and arrows.
"You cannot beat me!" Eye Guy shouted.
Julian started to fire the guns at the monster while the others started to charge in. David lashed the whip at the leg of the monster. Derrick and Matt hit Eye Guy with their weapons. Courtney tossed one of the daggers while Carly fired and arrow, hitting the monster. When David pulled the whip to trip the monster, Aref took this chance to stab Eye Guy. Eye Guy burst into hundreds of eyes before they gathered back together to reform him.
"Sorry humans," Eye Guy said, "But I don't go down that easy." Then he fired lasers at them.
Psycho white jumped off the shoulders of Z and fire lightning at the heroes. "Give up," he said, "You can never defeat me."
"Shut up already!" Emile shouted as he and the rest of the team fired their blasters. Psycho White countered by tossing the Empty Jewels into the air again and the lasers followed and being absorbed into them and exploded.
"Rangers," Ninjor started, "Start charging for an finishing attack while I'll keep this Psycho busy."
Ninjor charged at the white Psycho and slashed his sword on him. The Psycho Sword appeared in White's hand and clashed with Ninjor.
"Did you really think you can defeat me?" Psycho White said before he make a few strikes on Ninjor.
"Evil never prevails!" Ninjor replied as he kicked the Psycho away.
The Rangers' lances started to glow in the Rangers' colors and the Rangers threw them at Psycho White. The eight lances pierce right through him causing sparks and electricity to engulf his body.
Psycho White was brought to his knees as he was gasping. Then his gasps turned into laughter that got the heroes worried. "Thank you Power Rangers. Now I can finally evolve."
"What do you mean?" Z asked.
The white Psycho struggled to get up and started to explain, "Green was on to something. I was sending my team to be killed be you. And now the backup plan Broodwing installed can be activated!"
"Backup plan?" Tyler said.
"Yes, it was meant to be a backup plan," Psycho White replied, "But I knew in order to defeat you I need to activate this to evolve into the most powerful Psycho ever!"
"You're twisted monster!" Paige shouted, "No one with a heart would sacrifice their team."
"I don't have a heart Orange Ranger," Psycho White stated, "Morals, friendships, and all other things you were taught as a child means nothing on a battlefield. Power. Power is the only thing that matters in life!" more sparks erupted from his body as he clenches his fist. "Now you will witness your doom!" Psycho White started to laugh again as he fell backwards and exploded.
But the flames of the explosion started to gather back together and formed a new figure. And the Rangers could only gasp as the figure looks like...
