Chapter 8 : Lunar Trouble
Silver Hills - Silver Guardians Private Quarters
Wes Collins and Eric Myers returned to Silver Hills from Turtle Cove followed by the Wild Force Rangers. Wes had already made contact with Jen in the future to come to the present timeline to meet with the other rangers so they were waiting on the arrival of the other Time Force Rangers and the SPD Rangers as well . Wes had also gotten a message from Jason the original Red Ranger that said other rangers and allies of the rangers were on their way to them , which had Wes ask his father to send them the Mr. Collins private jet to bring them to Silver Hills .
" Everyone just try and relax before the guys get here and then we can make plans to meet up with the rest of the ranger teams . " Wes said to his friends .
It wasn ' t a lie that most of the ranger teams thought of each other as family , so , what affect one team affected them all and whenever something as catastrophic as the Lights of Evil appearing starts to happen then all of the teams would join together to protect the innocent lives at stake and the universe . Just like when the Machine Empire tried to revive Serpentera , the 10 Red Rangers raced across space to deal with the threat of the monsterous zord harming the innocent .
" Then maybe we can figure out what is going on with monsters that were suppose to be defeated showing up out of nowhere after the earthquake . " Taylor said rolling her eyes .
" Somebody is grumpy . " Eric smirked .
" What are you getting all excited for Mr. Myers ? " Taylor asked .
" Taylor , Mr. Myers is my father , so , you can just call me Eric . " Eric said .
Wes and the Wild Force Rangers shooked their heads , sighed , and didn ' t say anything to Taylor and Eric finding it pointless to do so .
" So , did you get a message from Carter ? " Cole asked Wes trying to change the subject .
" Carter said that Aquitian Rangers landed their new Hydroship at the Aquabase the Lightspeed Rescue team uses in Mariner Bay , they had Leo and Galaxy Rangers on board along with Billy , the original Blue Ranger . " Wes said .
" And Tommy Oliver ? " Cole asked .
" He was going to check out the Abyss of Evil near the Blue Bay Harbor where the Ninja Storm team is from and then contact his Dino Thunder Rangers once he figures out what is going on . Tommy also said that the new team of rangers from Briarwood called the Mystic Force Rangers showed up at Blue Bay Harbor to help , which would account for all of the teams . " Wes said .
" Good , we could use all of the allies we can get . " Danny said .
" Agreed , " Max, Alyssa , and Eric agreed .
Merrick was sitting back quiet listening to the others when he heard a voice in his head which he realized to be Zen - Aku .
" These Lights of Evil could pose a bigger problem for the both of us if things start getting out of hand . " Zen-Aku said to Merrick .
" What ? " Merrick asked making the others look at him .
" Merrick are you okay ? " Alyssa asked .
" Yes , I ' m fine , Zen - Aku was speaking to me . " Merrick said .
" You are still in contact with Zen - Aku ? " Taylor asked .
" Everyone has a chance to seek redemption from all of the wrongdoings they ' ve made Taylor . " Cole said .
" What exactly did Zen - Aku say to you Merrick ? " Max asked .
" That the Lights of Evil could mean trouble for both him and me . " Merrick said .
" It won ' t turn him will it ? " Cole asked .
" I will never go back to being evil again . " Zen-Aku said .
" No , it won ' t . " Merrick said .
" Then how the Lights of Evil affect the both of you ? " Eric asked .
" Those I use to serve when I walked in the ways of evil will see my turning to side of good as a betrayal . They would seek revenge on me for being a traitor and try to separate the two of us into two separate beings . " Zen-Aku spoke to Merrick .
Merrick told the other rangers what Zen - Aku said .
" Wouldn ' t that be a good thing , I mean the both of you could walk freely then without being one and it could mean an extra ally for us ? " Max asked .
" Separating us could either severally weaken the both of us or kill Merrick in the process . " Zen-Aku said .
" What ?! " Merrick asked both shocked and scared .
" What is it ? " Danny asked alarmed as were the other rangers .
" Zen - Aku said separating us could either injure both of us or kill me . " Merrick said making the others look at the Lunar Wolf Ranger .
" Then for both of your sakes we will not allow it to happen . " Cole said .
Dark Tower
" Sorry rangers , but the Lunar Wolf Ranger and Zen - Aku will feel my wrath before I attempt to separate them . I hope they can stand a little pain . " The Virus said ,
The Virus had a crystal ball that he could use to see everything including those in another timeline such as the future . He also had a statue that was very similar to a voodoo doll , it resembled Zen - Aku ' s physical appearance . He used his energy to send cast strong electrical beams over the statue which actually caused Zen - Aku to feel the pain of the electrical current which also caused Merrick to feel the same pain Zen - Aku was feeling .
Silver Hills - Silver Guardians Private Quarters
" Ow , ah " The moment that Zen - Aku felt the pain from the electrical beams the Virus was casting over his statue Merrick started feeling it . The Lunar Wolf Ranger was on his knees in pain .
" Merrick , what ' s happening ? " Alyssa asked Cole and Wes was kneeling next to the Merrick .
" Whatever , Zen - Aku feels I can feel just like how I can hear him when he speaks . Zen - Aku is in pain , it feels something is electrocuting him , which means they are shocking me too . " Merrick grimaced and then felt more pain .
" We need get him help right a way . " Cole said looking at Wes and Eric .
" I don ' t think the Silver Guardians can deal with this , we need one of the rangers who have knowledge about something like this . " Wes said .
" Contacting one of the other rangers and see what we can do ? If I have to I will fly Merrick to them with the Yellow Eagle Wildzord . " Taylor said .
" I ' m on it . " Eric said leaving the room to the Com Link set up by him and Wes to keep in contact with the other rangers .
" Hang on , Merrick , we will figure this out . " Max said .
" Ow , ah , " Merrick felt another shock .
Eric soon came back in .
" We need to get Merrick to the Aquitian Rangers , Jason said they may have a way to block whatever is shocking Zen - Aku from the attacker . " Eric said .
" But , we need to decide who will go with him to Mariner Bay and stay here to wait on the others . " Taylor said .
" I ' ll go with Merrick , " Danny said .
" Me too , " Max said .
" I ' ll go with them , we can use one of the Silver Guardian vehicles to get to Mariner Bay a lot faster . " Eric said .
" Right , lets move . " Cole said as he and Wes helped Merrick into one of the Silver Guardians Black SUVs .
Max got in the back with Merrick as Danny got up front with Eric .
" Take care of him . " Cole said .
" Don ' t worry he is in good hands . " Eric said .
" And be careful with the monsters out there . " Taylor said .
" Of course , lets go guys . " Eric said as he cranked up the SUV and then speeded away to Mariner Bay .
" I hope they Aurico and the other Aquitian Rangers can help Merrick . " Cole said .
" So , do I . " Wes agreed .
