Chapter Thirteen: All Things Must Come to an End
"GREEN OWL!" Sammie shouted as she felt a sudden rush of power. Keeping her eyes trained on the eight masked men; she moved to attack. Green landed a swift kick to the masked man nearest her; however, she missed delivering a punch to the one beside him. In fact, after about five minutes she realized something was off. 'Why haven't I been able to land another hit?' Every time she went after one, he was able to dodge in some form or fashion.
Green increased her speed, knowing full well that when morphed, her flight is as fast as Tommy's feet. Her increase in speed did make a difference, but not as big of one as expected. 'So now I can get some hits in, but barely.' Green began to tire and paid the price for it. She was knocked back to the spot she first originated from, and crashed into a tree. She fell onto her knees taking in deep breaths. From her crouched position, she saw eight pairs of feet come into view. Looking up, she noticed them leaping towards her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Connor was engulfed in an azure light. When it faded, he stood clad in his blue uniform, ready for action. He flipped back into the air to avoid being kicked in the face. Once he landed on his feet, he had little time to prepare for a kick to his side. He stumbled a bit and ran into yet another warrior. Sending a swift blow to his assailant's face, Blue dodged an oncoming hit from another. 'There's too many of them.' He thought to himself.
Blue was busy blocking the hits from the warriors in front of him. He did not notice those behind, jumping to attack. Yet when they attacked, something happened. Blue turned around just in time to witness those warriors being thrown back by an invisible force. 'What was that?' Before he could figure it out, the fighters on the other side of him attacked. But they too were thrown back by an invisible force. 'Of course, how could I have forgotten? My powers, when morphed, are like a sixth sense.' He then crouched into a fighting stance. And began using his mind to fight them all off.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Black was being tossed around from rock giant to rock giant. He was thrown into the center of the clearing. Shaking his head in an effort to clear it, Black shakily stood to his feet. "Okay, that was a lucky shot. You caught me off guard." Giving his head one last shake, he prepared himself for an attack. "But you're luck has just run out, because now… I'm mad."
Black ran full speed towards one of the rock giants. He jumped into the air and blasted into its side. He landed on the opposite and turned his head to observe the damage he had done. The hole was not completely in its center, but more off to the side. It wasn't as large as the hole he created in the first rock giant; however, it was large enough that the giant crumbled to the ground. 'The larger they are, the harder they fall.' Black grinned from behind his mask. He slowly stood up and called to the giants. "Alright then, let's get this over with!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The four shadows circled Yellow. She didn't like having her back to any of them, but they were making it hard for her to keep her eyes on all of them. Preparing herself for the worst, she felt herself go invisible once again.
Her invisibility didn't seem to hinder the shadows at all. As far as she could tell, they knew exactly where she was. For a long moment, they just stood there, unmoving. 'I don't have time for this.' She thought as she prepared to attack. Turning to the one at her right, she attempted a round house kick. Unfortunately for her, it didn't go quite as planned. Her leg went right through the shadow. Yellow made to pull back, but the shadow wrapped itself around her leg. On instinct, she reached her right arm towards the shadow; or at least, she tried. The shadow that had been behind her, wrapped itself around her arm. 'Oh no, I forgot about the others.' She looked to her right to see another shadow grab hold of her other arm. Before she knew it, the last one had grabbed onto her free leg. 'What… what's going on?' That was her last thought before they started pulling.
"Aaahhh!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Alex's entire body was immersed in flames as he donned his red suit. Ready to brawl, Red leaped towards the ten figures. He shot balls of fire out his fists. Once it connected with a target, the figure would splash into the water, only to reform itself and appear once more. 'What the-' Before he could finish his thought, Red was pushed back into the water by three of the ten figures. Fighting his way to the surface of the water, he made it out only to be pulled back under.
Red tried his best to break the surface again, but something was stopping him. He calmed down and looked through the water as best as he could. 'I'm going to need air soon.' He reminded himself, knowing his helmet could only take so much. Then he saw it. 'Oh shit!' He tried to maneuver himself out of the way, but the water caused him to move slower. Red was slammed into the side by, from what he could see a water figure. Another beat against him, delivering an extra hard blow against his helmet. 'CRACK!'
'Please don't let that be what I think it was.' It was then Red noticed bubbles rising from his head. As hard as he tried, he could not prevent the air from escaping his helmet. He decided to swim for the top, but to no avail. He was being pulled deeper into the water.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"PINK FOX!" Tiffany was bathed in a pink light. She closed her eyes as her power began to surge into every pore in her body. She felt different. It was different than the first time. When she first morphed she felt sick. It was painful. But now, she felt right. She smiled, 'Thanks Zordon.' She was thinking of the head piece he gave her. If it wasn't for her gift of sight, she would be a pancake right now. But seeing how her powers have increased, Pink is dodging the creatures effortlessly. "It almost isn't fair." She said as she grinned behind her helmet. She continued to move gracefully out of harms way. It was like a dance.
One of the creatures swung down a large axe, which would have cut the pink ranger in two had she not be prepared for the move. "Okay boys, it's time to cut short this dance." She ran to stand directly in front of the first one. She moved at the last minute and watched the second bring its axe down and cut through the first one's leg instead of her. It screamed in agony and swung at its offender only to miss and then crouched to the ground moaning in despair. "Ouch, that'll leave a bruise." She says tauntingly, hoping to lure them with her voice. The second and third go after her, but when she suddenly rolls between the legs of the second one, they crash against one another. The third one cuts through the arm of the second one. However, unfortunately for the third one, it's not the arm that's holding the axe. The second one swings its axe down into the skull of the third. Pink winced at this.
The second creature headed towards Pink, just as she knew it would. Pink stood unyielding, waiting for the creature to find her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Suited in his armor, White waited for the ground to stop shaking. He heard thunder crack through the sky. He looked back out to sea and was a little taken aback at what he saw. Even though he felt it would happen, he didn't think it would be to such an extent. The sky was blackened by rain clouds, lightning pierced through the sky and the ocean's waves were monstrous. And then something happened.
Lunging to the side, White was able to avoid the boulder that flew past him. Getting up onto his feet, he surveyed his surroundings. "Who are you?!" He called out to the brown figure standing at a distance. He received no response. The brown figure lifted the sand around him and shaped it into a ball, forming another boulder, albeit larger in size, and threw it. White attempted to run, but the ground continued to shake. He leaped out of the way of the boulder, but barely. Rolling to his side, he looked to where the gray figure stood and saw nothing. 'Now where did he go?' Standing up, White turned around in time to see a large boulder headed his way. He crossed his arms in front of himself in a vain attempt at protection. 'Oh no!' He closed his eyes.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The eight masked men leaped towards the fallen ranger. Green anticipated this. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her gift. The masked men crashed into one another as their target disappeared. They stood confused. "Yoohoo! Boys!" Turning around the men noticed the green ranger standing in the clearing. "Did you miss me?" Green laughed. "Pun totally intended." No matter how funny she thought the situation, her opponents on the other hand looked agitated.
They ran at her and surrounded her. They then proceeded to attack at once. Big mistake. Green levitated off the ground, and then knocked them each out one by one at an incredible speed. A green blur moved in and out of the group. They didn't even see what hit them. "Yeah! Talk about going comet on your a-"
The ground began to shake. "Whoa." Green almost lost her footing. "Weird…. Whoa." The ground began to shake harder until it cracked open. Green lost her footing and fell into the crevice. "Aaaahhh!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Blue flipped backwards to avoid being hit by a spear. He landed on his feet then, with his mind, forced his attacker back into three others. He turned to the side and sent another group back onto the ground. 'Okay, time to get offensive.' Blue ran head on to a group and then jumped into the air. He kicked one in the head, and used it to flip backwards. Once he landed he threw a few punches and kicked the feet out from under two of them. Using his mind, he forced them into each other with enough force to knock them out.
'There's just too many of them.' Blue was becoming exhausted. He picked up a fallen spear and started assault them with it. Then he paused. Remembering all the spears on the ground around him, he got an idea. Picking the spears using his mind, he closed his eyes. Sweat began to form on his brow. 'Concentrate.' He flipped the spears to the dull ends, and then, with as much power as he could, he drove each spear into contact with each warrior's head.
Letting the spears fall, Blue opened his eyes. All around him, warriors were spread across the ground, sufficiently knocked out. Blue let out a satisfactory sigh. Unfortunately, it was short lived. 'Something's wrong.' The ground began to quake. 'What the-' He never completed his thought as the ground opened and swallowed him whole.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The rock giants came at Black at full speed. They were going to attack at the same time. Black rolled out of the way in the nick of time. 'Didn't know these things could move that fast." Black looked around for something, anything. Then he eyed the pile of rocks and boulders that once was part of a giant. Running to the rubble, he found a nice size boulder. Picking it up, he turned to the two remaining giants. "Hey! Uglies! Catch!" He then threw the boulder as hard as he could. And given his increased powers, that's pretty hard.
The boulder it one in the shoulder, then ricocheted and hit the other in the chest. It slowed them down but did not stop them. Black picked up more boulders began hurling them at the giants. Every time the boulder connected, the rock giants lost more and more rock. Still they continued towards him. Black, realizing he was out of decent sized boulders, decided it was time to finish them off. "I'd love to stay and play with you guys longer, but I kinda have a world to save. And well, you're sort of standing in the way of that. So it's time to end you. I'm sure you understand." He ran at them both. He punched the legs from underneath one, causing it to fall forward in a rock slide. Quickly jumping out of the way, Black leaped onto the back of the other. With one quick punch to the back of its head, the last giant fell to the earth. Black jumped off before it connected with the ground.
He stood, appraising the damage he had done. Then he noticed something in the ground. "What in the-" Before he knew it the ground opened up and consumed him. His screams lost in the void.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Aaahhh!"
Yellow was being pulled at in four different directions. 'What? They're trying to rip me apart.' She tried to fight the pull, but they only pulled harder. "Aaahh!" Yellow started to break out into a sweat. 'It hurts, I can't think. I… I…' "Aaahh! Let go!" Yellow could barely control her power. She was going from visible to invisible and back again.
'Concentrate… concentrate… … concentrate…' Yellow tried to clear her mind and focus on her power. She went invisible again and stayed that way. 'Concentrate… concentrate…' "CONCENTRATE!" She he screamed and they pulled for a last time. Yellow sent sonic waves through her appendages and into the shadows.
The shadows slightly pulled back, still holding onto her. Beneath her helmet her eyes glowed yellow. "I said LET GO!" She sent another sonic wave through her appendages, only this time; it was glowed yellow and was much stronger. The shadows were ill prepared and paid the price for it. The force from her attack caused them to let go, but the light from her attack made them disappear. She landed none too gently onto her back. "Ow. I'll be feeling that come tomorrow." She sat up waiting to catch her break. Then the ground trembled. "Now what?" Yellow struggled to stand, but before she could make it to her feet, the ground opened directly beneath her. Too shocked and out of breath to scream, Yellow fell into the chasm.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The water was getting darker the deeper he was pulled. Red needed to think of something and fast. 'First I need to get free of this water creep.' He tried to fight against the pull under water. When that didn't work, he lit up the arm that was entangled only nothing happen. He tried his other arm. Nothing. 'I'm too deep under.' He tried forcing the flames to shoot out of his fists, but it just wouldn't work. 'No…'
He felt something wet on the side of his face. He knew exactly what it was. 'I can't… I can't let this defeat me. The world… my family… Tiff- the team needs me!' Red felt himself drifting. He closed his eyes. He felt the heat burning in his belly. He felt it spread to his chest. He could feel the side of his face getting wetter. 'Focus!' He reprimanded himself. He felt the heat spread through his limbs and increase in temperature.
Red kept his eyes closed. He didn't notice the water around him start to bubble. 'Focus.' Keeping his eyes sealed shut he felt the heat rise. He was burning now. 'Focus… focus… focus…' His eyes popped open; they were on fire. "Now!" He screamed behind his helmet as his entire body flamed up. The water creature promptly let go of him. Now that he was free, he hurriedly went to the top; allowing his flames to lift him.
Red shot through the water and into the air. He stayed suspended in the air for a second, before slowly gliding to the ground. Once on land he took his helmet off and poured the water out of it. He grinned. "It's good to be back on dry land." The ground started to tremor. "Back to action." He placed his helmet back onto his head. The ground split in between his feet. 'This can't be good.' Before he could regain his footing he fell in. "Aaahh!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The last creature standing headed towards Pink. She stood firm as it approached. Swinging its axe down, she quickly moved out of the way. Turning back towards it, she landed a kick to its jaw. The forced sent her reeling back. 'Ow! What the heck is it made out of… stone?' She flipped backwards, narrowly dodging an attack. The creature started chasing her around the open space. 'Okay girl, a plan would be a good idea right about now.' "Aahh!" She screamed as she ducked. Her hand felt its way to her neck. 'Good, still intact.'
She lost her footing and stumbled to the ground. "Oomph! Ow!" Turning her head she saw the axe coming down fast. "STOP!" Closing her eyes, she raised her hands up for protection.
Nothing happened. A couple seconds went by. Nothing happened. Pink peeked one eye open, and then opened the other. "What…" The creature was poised above her in animated suspension. Its axe a mere 6 inches from her hands. Pink scrambled to her feet. "What in the world?" She moved closer to it and screamed when it moved its eyes to look at her. Turning away from the still creature, she ran in the opposite direction. She didn't get very far as the ground began to rumble and open, causing her to fall into an abyss.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
White opened his eyes. "What…" He looked around. 'I wasn't standing her a few moments ago.' He looked back to where he was and saw the boulder imbedded into his previous spot. White grinned. 'I teleported without even realizing it.' He then stood up and looked for the brown figure. He quickly located him. "Throwing rocks at me. Is that all you've got?" White crouched into a fighting stance. "Bring it on."
The brown figure created several boulders and hurled them in the ranger's direction. Upon seeing this, White made to speed out of the way of them. However, there were too many and they were too fast. 'I guess I have no choice.' He mentally sped up, causing him to teleport in and out of the boulders path. A few minutes past of White doing this before he finally made it to the brown figure. He appeared behind the brown figure, taking it completely by surprise. "School's out." He whispered, before knocking the brown figure out.
The ground started shaking. White didn't think anything of it since it had happened previously. Although when a sink hole started to form, he thought it to be cause for alarm. Unfortunately, the sink hole already had hold of his feet, and without them, he was going nowhere. "No!" He tried climbing out, but was unsuccessful. "Nooooo!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
