Chapter 14 : The Virus
Aquabase - Rescue Ops
All of the Rangers and their allies that weren ' t currently in the infirmary was located in Rescue Ops to wait on ones in infirmary to tell them what was going on with the Lunar Wolf Ranger and what the new threat was attacking Earth . Tommy appeared on the viewing screen not long after everyone had arrived .
" Alright , Rangers and allies , Billy has finally hooked Merrick up to viewing screen and I hope it will shed some light on who is attacking him , Zen - Aku , all of us , and why this problem is happening now . Billy , Cestro go ahead . " Tommy said to the original Blue Ranger and Aquitian Blue Ranger .
" We are turning on the view screen now Tommy . " Cestro said as they showed everyone what was in both Merrick and Zen - Aku ' s mind through the view screen .
Everyone could definitely see the Wolf Duke Org in Merrick mind , they could see that he was in pain and what looked to be snake like chains around his wrist that had strange dark symbols .
" Could those chains be what is keeping Merrick from waking up ? " Wes asked .
" They could be , those markings on the chains is the main reason he can ' t free himself . Its of an ancient magic that was thought to be lost before even Zordon was born . " The Phantom Ranger said .
" But , what caused Zen - Aku to be chained like that ? He is an extremely powerful Duke Org , he was able to capture the Black Bear , Polar Bear , Giraffe , and Elephant Wild Zords from us without even blinking and made us de-morph several times without breaking a sweat . So , how is it that someone as strong as can be over powered like this ? " Max asked .
" Cause there is always someone stronger out there Max even with all of the monsters and villains we have seen to date . They get stronger and things get worse before they get better . But , as long as we stay strong and work together to defeat whatever this thing is then we will pull through . " Jason said .
After Jason had finished saying that something else came up on the viewing , something that was deep in Zen - Aku ' s mind . It was a hideous monster that looked like giant worm with pointy spines sticking out every where . It had a huge round mouth full of rows and rows of sharp teeth that would put a shark to shame . Its eyes were red and full of evil intent , they held a determination to whip out all that was good so that his darkness would reign forever .
Then the image turned into the shadow of a man like figure that was in jet , black armor with similar symbols to the ones on the chains holding Zen - Aku captive . The Rangers couldn ' t see his face due to having a black hood over his head shielding his face . Major Sheeba was on his right side , while Drokunas was on his left , and behind him they could see the newly revived Psycho Rangers with the addition of a Silver Psycho Ranger and Purple Psycho Ranger . Every now and then due to the window in side the Dark Tower , the Rangers could see a newly revived Serpentera no longer a machine , but a monster capable of spreading terror through out time and space . Major Sheeba stepped up to give introductions and greet the Rangers .
" Heh , heh , greetings Power Rangers , I see you have quite the family together now and even the Rangers from the future have arrived for this glorious occasion . Let me introduce myself , I am Major Sheeba , Supreme General of the Darkest Army in the World . I once had the privilege to be worn on the skin of the Titanium Ranger . " Sheeba laughed again .
" You were the snake that Diabolico put on me ? " Ryan asked the rest of the Rescue Rangers looking at him except for Dana who was still in the infirmary .
" That would be correct my friend , after you got rid of me my true master called and resembled me into my physical form . Don ' t worry Ryan , I have special plans for you just like my master has for Zen - Aku and his Ranger friend . Now let me introduce you to my comrade and partner , I am sure some of you have already met him . This is Drokunas , Darkondas little brother , he is a bit violent than his brother and his hatred for Rangers was fueled by none other than the Space Rangers especially Andros who lead Darkonda to kill himself . " Sheeba said .
" I told you already , Andros wasn ' t responsible for Darkonda killing himself . " Karone said .
" Ah and you Princes Astronema shall also eventually be treated like this traitor Zen - Aku for turning on the Dark Lord . " Sheeba said .
" Enough games already , who is this Dark Lord you speak of and why is he hiding from us ? " Tommy asked .
" He stands here at my side as we speak , he is the most powerful villain of all of the evil ones you faced . He one brought a dark being to life through his spiritual form who was known as Dark Specter leader of United Alliance of Evil . 3 , 000 years ago he caused all evil in time and space and rose up to take on the legendary Falcon and Dragon who created all that you see and feel Rangers . Then he was imprisoned by these Warriors that was sent to protect the innocent , these Warriors were similar to you Rangers which explains his hatred for all of you . Then his spirit felt one of his pieces calling to him when Lothor opened the Abyss of Evil and he rose again to finish what he started so long ago . He has always been and will always be known as the Virus . " Major Sheeba said as the warrior form of the Virus stepped up .
" Hello , Rangers , I have been aware of you for sometime now as you go about saving the universe from the evil ones who come before you . I was even there to face you myself in the form of Dark Specter and I felt the Abyss of Evil when it opened . I felt my spirit come back to me and rejuvenate my strength and now its my time to return to power . I let so many would be rulers of evil step up and take my place , but one by one they fell to a bunch of children and rainbow colored suits . So , it is time to make my return and take back my rightful place as Lord of All Evil and the World . Don ' t worry Rangers , soon you shall see me at my full strength and when you do it will be the last thing you see . Now , I shall release Zen - Aku and the Lunar Wolf Ranger for now cause I want them both to watch the world and friends they love so much fall before them and then I will make Zen - Aku pay for his treachery . " The Virus said as the chains on Zen - Aku fell off and the viewing screen went blank .
The Rangers looked at each other not knowing what to say at first . The Virus wasn ' t like any other villain they had faced , he was pure evil and powerful beyond measures that put all the other villains to shame .
Tommy appeared once again on the viewing screen .
" Hey guys , Merrick is awake . " Tommy said .
The other rangers especially the Wild Force Rangers breathed a sigh of relief at one good news so far . The Lunar Wolf Ranger would be alright for now .
