Angela Fairweather-Rollins couldn't recall any time she had seen the sky so dark. But perhaps that was to be expected when they had been invaded by demonic forces. It wasn't the typical demons that Queen Bansheera had once commanded; these were a whole new breed.
Well new wasn't right. These demons were the same ones that the Power Rangers, Zeo Rangers and Space Rangers as well as the Ninja Turtles had faced down in their time. It was the same type of demons that had caused the need to create weapons like the Praeleanthor sword. And now they were out in force in Mariner Bay. And she knew that the Lightspeed Rangers, including her husband the Green Lightspeed Ranger Joel had been captured. Their base commander and the father of both Dana and Ryan Mitchell had also been captured. She had only narrowly escaped and Bansheera wanted her there before eliminating all of those who had stood in her way.
She heard a loud roaring sound and was barely able to stop her current speed to turn to the left just as a large creature landed right in front of her. It let out a large roar even as Angela tried to go off in another direction. Every intel she had showed these things to be dangerous but slow.
So she was very surprised when it leapt high up into the air and landed right in front of her. "I guess something has changed." She noted softly, not liking the complete silence or the screams of terror that seemed to be common in the last couple of days. She knew this demonic invasion almost made some people wish the Triceratons had succeeded in destroying the Earth.
The demon reached out to get a hold of Angela when two figures leapt out of seemingly nowhere and kicked the demon in the chest. For just a moment she wasn't sure what to make of what happened until the long haired boy and the purple haired girl turned to look at her. "Miss us?" Mal questioned her with a wink.
"Mal, Jay." Angela was shocked. Then she turned to see the other currently unmorphed Auradon Rangers approaching her as well. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Renet came to get us. So we can help all of you guys just like you did for all of us." Amy explained to her. She looked at the large demon. "What the pink is that?"
"Beyond a demon, I'm not really sure." Angel admitted. "It's called a Hell Knight, but this thing jumped at me and I thought those things were fairly slow."
"Maybe Bansheera did something to improve these demons." Ellie suggested.
"Or something happened since the last time the rangers encountered them." Jordan added. The last time they knew that the rangers had dealt with these demons was when the Space Rangers had gone to find the Praeleanthor sword to return Ben's powers.
The Hell Knight like demon ran toward them all and they all dodged out of the way. It crashed into the side of a building. To no one's surprise but perhaps a bit to their dismay the thing shook off the impact and turned around to face them again.
"We have more important things to attend to." Mal stated. "So let's finish this off." She looked to her team members. "Let's get to work." Even as Ben combined his Praeleanthor sword and shield to turn into the Auradon Knight, Melody used the trident, Jane used the magic wand and the rest of the ranger's as well as Ellie and Alex input their codes into their iPhones and transformed.
The Hell Knight turned toward them and fired a ball of green fire at them. Evie raised her mirror force shield, intending to block it and send it back but when it struck it was all she could do to stop the fireball from hurting any of them. "That thing is really tough." Evie replied a bit distressingly.
"We've never really gone up against a demon before." Carlos noted nervously. "I hope we have what it takes."
"Remember that this thing is only the beginning. We've got other demons we'll have to worry about." Ally commented.
"You're right Ally." Mal said. "So let's send this thing packing and move on." She looked to Ben, who arguably had the biggest edge in this fight thanks to the Praeleanthor sword and to Miranda who was one of the best trained of her team. "Keep that thing occupied for just a moment. "She looked to Amy, Audrey, Evie, Jay, Carlos Will and Lonnie. "Let's show this thing the Auradon Blaster."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Miranda said as she twirled her grizzly blades. With Ben right beside her the two of them charged toward the Hell Knight.
"We've got company." Aziz announced as several gray creatures approached and let out a growl before forming fire in their hands.
"Those are Imps." Angela said to them. "The foot soldiers of the demonic world."
Ellie raised her hand and fired an ice beam just as the Imps threw their fireballs, freezing them in place. "That's turning down the heat." Alex remarked for his cousin, drawing an eye roll.
Aziz formed his spiral spear, Grant formed his axe, Will formed his recursive sword and Melody held the trident high and they moved in to engage the Imps.
Miranda leapt first and brought her grizzly blades down on the large demon, it let out a roar as she did so. It was hard to tell if it was pain, annoyance or perhaps both. Ben came in from behind with his Praeleanthor sword and slashed the Hell Knight across the chest, where it stumbled backwards.
Mal raised her dragon's eye staff up. This was followed by Audrey placing her elemental bow points outward just under it, the third layer being placed just under Audrey's bow with Will's recursive sword. Evie placed her mirror force shield just behind it and the compacts of the weapon expanded outwards. Jay placed his soul scimitar in the center, followed by Lonnie's hurricane tessens, Carlos's earthquake claw daggers and Amy's rose lances on either side. Together they got stood behind their newest version of their Auradon Blaster and unleashed upon the Hell Knight.
The Hell Knight stumbled backwards for a moment and they feared the attack wasn't going to work before it suddenly vanished out of nowhere.
"Um, did it work?" Aquiella asked.
"It should have." Angela said to them. "All of the intel we've ever gathered shows when those demons are defeated in our world that they return to wherever they come from."
"You guys fought that?" Carlos asked with some increased level of respect."
Angela shook her head. "No." She corrected him. "That was not the kind of demons the Lightspeed Rangers fought so long ago, although the leader of those demons has somehow become involved with these ones."
"Speaking of the Lightspeed Rangers, where are they now?" Mal asked her.
"They're being held by Queen Bansheera at the Aqua Base. She wants to make that her new base now that Earth is no longer going to be destroyed." Angela explained to them all. "We're going to have to infiltrate the base to find them and set them free." She then looked around a moment. "Not that you guys have small numbers or anything but where are the other rangers?"
"Those that are able are currently trying to do their best to contain the rest of the demons." Audrey explained to her. "Except for the Galaxy Rangers, who are rapidly now getting that experience, the other ranger teams and the Ninja Turtles have dealt with these things so they know what to do to stop them."
"It's up to us to stop Bansheera." Carlos said. "Or, I should say us and the Lightspeed Rangers."
"How are we going to get into this Aqua Base?" Aziz asked them.
Jordan's eyes sparkled mischievously. "I have an idea." She announced. "One that will take us right to the others."
Bansheera laughed. "I see all of that running was for nothing." She gloated to the human scientist that had provided the Lightspeed Rangers with all of the technology she had invented. Angela Fairweather-Rawlins was being flanked by nineteen Imps and the large Hell Knight was in back just in case. She didn't quite remember that many Imps going out at one time but perhaps they had to converge to capture her. "It's time for you and all of your friends to be destroyed." She turned her back on them and started toward the area where she had the Lightspeed Rangers and Captain Mitchell. The demons followed her.
She had been immensely surprised to be raised by their benefactor, who had promised that the rangers would be put down and the Earth destroyed. Bansheera had not been especially pleased about that last part as she had wanted the planet for herself but determined that as long as the planet remained the possibility of rangers rising again were great. But the new army and the new realm that she had been given would be a great compensation. They were ruthless, efficient, and powerful and they had lost only to the meddling beings of Earth. Even the Martian civilization had only been able to stand still with them and only because they had done everything they could to stop things in the wake of their defeat millennia ago.
When Queen Bansheera entered the rangers were dismayed to find that she had Angela with her. The Imps released her and she ran over to stand by her husband Joel. Kelsey sighed a bit and commented, "I guess that's it then. We've lost."
"This isn't over yet." Carter said to Queen Bansheera. "Not as long as we're still drawing breath."
"That will change very soon." The evil demon queen stated and snapped her fingers. Three demons that had never appeared in any intel Angela had ever seen appeared. Their most distinguishing feature was an arm like protrusion that glowed with red energy. "These Blazers will put all of you out of my misery. The next time I see you it will as what will soon be my reanimated army of the undead." She laughed as she walked out.
"Let's just take them down." Ryan said to his team mates. "Before those Blazers do what they're supposed to do." They had already raised their arms and were charging up the protrusion at the end. "We're dead one way or another; we should at least go down fighting."
"Dead indeed." Chad retorted as he pointed to the Imps and the one Hell Knight.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." Angela said, drawing looks of confusion from her husband the others.
Dana was the first to notice a wavering among the Hell Knight. Then it shattered and a small dark rose colored ranger jumped up off the shoulders of a purple ranger and brought a lance made of roses down on one of the Blazers. Then two of the Imps leapt out and took out the other two Blazers, shifting into a purple ranger with small green streaks and a yellow ranger. All three demons faded into nothing. Then they were approached, and the Imps faded away to reveal twenty rangers.
"What just happened?" Joel asked.
"Wait a minute. Are these…the Auradon Rangers you were talking about?" Captain Mitchell asked Angela.
"That's them." She confirmed. She made quick introductions. "Mal, the older daughter of Maleficent; purple ranger and leader. Amy, the younger daughter of Maleficent and the rose ranger. Audrey, the daughter of Aurora and Phillip and red ranger. Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen and the blue ranger. Jay, son of Jafar and the black ranger. Carlos, the son of Cruella De Vil and yellow ranger. Lonnie, daughter of Mulan and Shen and the pink ranger. Ben, son of Belle and Adam and the Auradon Knight as well as King of Auradon. Jane, the daughter of Fairy Godmother and white ranger. Jordan, daughter of the Genie and Eden and the gold ranger. Aziz, son of Aladdin and Jasmine and the silver ranger. Ally, daughter of Alice and the crystal ranger. Will, son of Wendy and the green ranger. Miranda, daughter of Merida and the Highlands ranger. Melody, daughter of Ariel and Eric and the aqua ranger. Ellie, daughter of Elsa and the Ice Dame. Alex, son of Anna and Kristoff and the Fire Knight. Aquiella, daughter of Arista and orange ranger. Grant, son of Rose Red and the gray ranger and Ruby, daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene and the ruby ranger."
Then she did it the other way too. "This is Captain Mitchell, commander of the Aqua Base. This is Carter Grayson the red Lightspeed Ranger. Chad Lee the blue Lightspeed ranger. Joel Rawlings the green Lightspeed ranger and my husband. Kelsey Winslow the yellow Lightspeed ranger. Dana Mitchell the pink Lightspeed ranger and her older brother Ryan Mitchell the titanium Lightspeed ranger."
"Thanks for the help guys." Carter said to them. "Now we just have to find out what they did with our rescue morphers so we can clear our base of those demons."
"I've never seen Queen Bansheera or anyone under her use those things." Kelsey commented. "Where did they come from all of a sudden?"
"They didn't come from anywhere all of a sudden." Angela pointed out. "They've been around for a long, long time. Your predecessors have had plenty of experience with these demons. I just don't know how they became affiliated with Queen Bansheera."
"First things first, we need your morphers." Evie said as she held up her mirror force shield. This wasn't the items original shape and she reverted back to the magic mirror that she had been given what seemed like a lifetime ago on the Isle of the Lost before they had gone to Auradon. "Mirror mirror in my hand, show me the location of the Lightspeed morphers if you can." She recited.
Her mirror showed them the location of the morphers. Carter perked up. "That would be the command center of the Aqua Base." He told the Auradon Rangers. "Why would Bansheera put them there?"
"Mirror mirror on my hand, show me the location of Bansheera." Evie requested. They found she was in one of the main engineering areas that kept among other things kept life support going. They were also able to find the heart of the invasion, in this case almost literally. In the back corner far from the doors in, was a large stand that looked to be made of weird bio matter and in the center was a red object that pulsed and glowed. As they watched an Imp emerged and then jumped onto the ceiling.
"What is that?" Dana asked. "What did they even make that thing out of?"
Amy had had the presence of mind to record that image so that they could show that later to the veteran rangers and the Ninja Turtles, hoping one of them knew what it was. She recalled Raphael's human girlfriend Jennifer saying her father had a connection with the demons and the rose haired girl suspected sometimes she knew more than she was truly aware of to.
"We can examine it later." Carter said. "Let's head to the command area and get our morphers and then stop Bansheera and these demons before something worse comes through the portal." Together the two teams had left the area they had been held in and started toward their destination.
"Audrey, Melody, Jay, Carlos, Lonnie, Aziz, Jane and Miranda give them your blasters." Mal instructed her friends for the Lightspeed crew. "That way they won't be completely defenseless." She received no argument and her friends did as Mal said.
"Who knows how many demons this place is crawling with?" Kelsey mused softly. "Or what kind…"
"Too many comes to mind for me." Audrey told her simply.
As they turned the corner they ran into a large skeletal looking demon with small rocket launchers on its back. It let out a yell of some sort and fired two rockets. One was at Evie and she blocked it with her shield. The other was fired at Ally and she tried to dodge it but was unable to do so and it struck her hard. She hit the wall and moaned a moment before starting to get up. Aziz started toward his girlfriend, confident that if Ally hadn't been morphed she'd be dead right now.
Ellie got the same impression too. She held up her hands to stop their unmorphed companions from moving up. "We don't want you guys getting hurt or killed." She said.
"I recognize that one, the intel calls it a Revenant." Angela told them. "The shoulder mounted missiles can home in on targets."
"That explains its rockets." Grant noted.
The Revenant fired the rockets again but this time Melody used energy from the trident to destroy them as they were launched. "It's time someone shuts this thing up." The aqua ranger noted.
Audrey raised her bow and fired an explosive arrow at one of the mounted rocket launchers just as it got ready to fire again. The arrow lodged in one of the sockets and exploded. Jay and Miranda moved in and double slashed the skeletal demon, which dissolved just as the other demons had.
"We're almost there." Captain Mitchell said to them all. "Let's get those morphers."
They entered the command center and it all seemed clear. It seemed too easy to them all. "Something isn't right here." Jordan voiced for all of them. "I don't know how we should go about this one." She looked to Mal and Carter, the leaders of the two teams.
"Guys, there's nothing to figure out except for not looking gift horses in the mouth." Joel stated and pushed his way past them. "I'm grabbing the morphers."
"Joel wait." Dana started and Kelsey reached out to try to grab him but she was too slow and he was past them. He had made it about half way into the room when the power went out. It didn't stay dark for long as eerie red light took over and they saw a large pentagram like shape form on the ground before a moment later a large floating brown creature appeared in the middle of the room. It had two small three fingered arms and one eye along with a mouthful of teeth.
"Ah shoot." Joel muttered.
"A trap." Aquiella stated.
"Not a good one." Jay retorted and ran forward, intending to stab it in the eye with his soul scimitar. He vaguely heard Angela try to shout out a warning but then the demon opened its mouth and shot out a large flaming skull that connected hard with him, sending him flying into some of his friends.
"Glad we could break your fall." Will commented dryly as he started to stand up.
"What is that?" Lonnie questioned.
"Intel calls it a Pain Elemental." Angela started.
"Seems to be a pain alright." Mal grumbled.
They saw the Pain Elemental start expelling more flaming skulls from its mouth. "And that would be what it does. It overwhelms opposition with those things, called Lost Souls. If we don't stop that thing soon we're going to be in big trouble."
Ben knew exactly what to do. "I got this one." He stated and stood up as he drew his Praeleanthor sword. He started into the room and started to slash down the Lost Souls as they flew toward him.
"What is he doing?" Ryan wondered and leveled the blaster to try to help him.
"Hold on." Mal said as she placed her hand on his arm. "If Ben is doing what I think he's doing, he's got this."
Once the sixth Lost Soul was vaporized he heard the telltale call of the weapon; Use us. "Some cover would be good now." Ben called out and Mal released Ryan's arm as the Lightspeed team and some of the Auradon team started to unleash their energy on the Lost Souls.
Meanwhile Ben charged at an angle toward the Pain Elemental. Usually he would just toss his sword but this time the young king suspected that the best course of action was to attack it himself just in case a Lost Soul popped up at the last moment and ruined his plan. He moved in and slashed the demon, causing it to implode. The Lost Souls were destroyed very quickly after.
"Now we can grab our morphers." Chad said with a slight glower at Joel. The Lightspeed team handed the blasters back to the other rangers and then retrieved their morphers. "Lightspeed Rescue!" "Titanium Power!"
"Go stop Bansheera." Captain Mitchell said to the rangers. "The two of us will stay here and try to get the base operating again."
"You can't stay here on your own dad." Dana reminded her father as she placed her hand on his arm. "I mean, the two of you can't stay here alone." She amended as she looked to Angela, who Joel had gone near as well.
"They're right captain." Mal agreed. She looked to Amy, Ben, Audrey, Jay, Evie, Carlos, Ben, Will and Ruby. "We're going with the Lightspeed Rangers to the engineering section to destroy that weird thing and send Bansheera packing. The rest of you stay here and keep Captain Mitchell and Mrs. Fairweather-Rawlins safe."
Miranda nodded for her part of the team. They knew in this case no one was being left behind. The demons would start flocking here when they realized the base was starting to get repaired. "We've got them covered Mal. Send these demons back to where they came from." She stated.
The ranger assault team headed toward the engineering section, Carter leading the way. Imps appeared and tried to stop them as they made their way but they stood no chance against the combined powers of the two ranger teams. "You'll have to do better than that." Carlos called out.
"Most definitely." Damon agreed.
Then from the end of the corridor they heard a large grumbling sound and the walls began to shake. From the end of the corridor emerged a large, pale, bloated, and putrid creature covered in armor that didn't do much for its lower head or torso with devices that looked like rocket launchers on either arm. Sections of the armor and the launchers glowed green. It unleashed a stream of what looked to be green gooey stuff at them.
"You two just had to open your big mouths." Audrey snapped angrily. No one could really blame her for that.
"What the pink is that?" Amy wanted to know though her voice sounded a bit fearful.
They heard the crackle of an open channel from their helmets. "It looks like a Mancubus." They heard Angela say. They could hear the cry of a Revenant and Aziz yell out a challenge in the background, proving Dana's concern and Mal's call was justified. "But I've never seen intel with it armored up like that."
"It's gone cyber, just swell." Kelsey said. "We have to get by that thing."
"Wait a minute, Jennifer told me about this one." They heard Aquiella say from the comlink now. "The turtles fought one of these a while ago. Leonardo and Aaliyah destroyed that one though with flame units on its back, but this one seems to be different."
"That thing smells horrible." Audrey noted with disgust. "Like…like…" The brunette princess couldn't really put a name to that smell.
Dana wished she couldn't either, but being a doctor gave her some experience with it even though most of her medicinal practice revolved around pediatrics. "It smells like rotting flesh." She filled in.
"Hang on a second." Evie said, her posture being one that Mal recognized. Her chosen sister seemed to be in the process of thinking. "It doesn't have anything like that other one that Jennifer told Aquiella about. But it's still doing attacks similar to that one. That means its power source has to be from within."
"Grand, who's getting close enough to deal with that?" Joel asked.
"Well it was you and Carlos who opened your mouths and got this thing on us." Kelsey suggested, seemingly as innocent as possible for the implication.
"As much as I'd like to see that," Audrey agreed a bit snippily. "I do have a better idea." She drew her elemental bow and summoned several fire arrows. She aimed then and fired at what she was thinking of as Cyber-Mancubus. One arrow seemed to hit the armor harmlessly. Another struck its wide torso as a third made it to her target; into his mouth. The thing imploded, making a huge mess in the process.
"Gross." Ellie mused.
"Come on, let's get going then." Carter declared. They continued on their way, dealing easily with more Imps along the way.
They reached the end and were about ready to burst into the room when they heard a new voice from the rift state, "Over? Hardly." Aquiella quickly hit the audio recorder on her iPhone. "I don't know how you disrupted things, but this isn't over yet."
"Who was that? Who is he talking too?" Evie wondered.
"Have we been spotted?" Carlos asked.
"I'm sure they know we're coming here." Dana reasoned. "But still…there's no way they could know we're here or they would have attacked us already."
"Let's get in there." Joel said but Carter held up his hand.
"Not yet." Carter said. "Give it a minute."
A moment passed and then they heard the same voice. "Find the orbs and bring them to me. Then we shall have our revenge." That was followed by maniacal laugher that caused Carter and Mal to exchange looks and decided they couldn't waste any more time. With a gesture they indicated their team should attack.
"Power Rangers." Bansheera growled. She headed toward them, trying to attack. Carter and Mal kicked her in the chest hard even as the Imps were blasted back as they attacked.
"You guys finish of Bansheera." Carter said to the Auradon rangers. "We'll get past the demons and destroy that nest thing they're using."
"Are you sure?" Mal asked. "I mean, Bansheera is your enemy."
"She's changed now." Kelsey reminded them. "When she…she embraced that weird demon part that let her do all of this." She waved her hand around the room though in reality it was meant to encompass the entire aqua base and even Mariner Bay. "You guys seem to be more powerful, you stand a better chance."
"I'll gladly cut through you before getting to the main course." Bansheera interrupted their conversation.
Mal and her team stood in front of Bansheera as the Lightspeed Rangers summoned their V lancers and headed toward the demons to reach the nest. "Don't be looking past us, it's a good way to get yourself in lots of trouble." The purple haired purple ranger advised the demon. "Let's do it guys."
Bansheera charged at the rangers. Jay and Audrey were up first, dodging under her attack. Carlos and Lonnie leapt out and kicked the evil demon queen in the chest, making her stumble backwards. Mal and Amy then leapt out and struck her hard, causing her to fall backwards where she got tripped up by the black and red rangers.
"This is intolerable." Bansheera growled and shot out at the rangers. Evie raced her mirror force shield and deflected it back at her. The explosion caused her to lose her balance. Will and Ben leapt out and slashed her, the impact slamming her against the wall.
Carter and Dana were the first to reach the nest. "What do we do?" Dana asked him.
Carter hesitated only a second. He could see his other teammates were dealing with more Imps that appeared from out of nowhere. "It's up to us." He told the pink Lightspeed ranger. He raised his V lance. Dana followed suit and together they plunged their weapons right into the pulsing core before them.
A shockwave exploded from it, along with the mystery voice yelling out a protest. The shockwave struck Carter and Dana down onto their backs. Moments later it took out all of the demons as well as knocking the four Lightspeed Rangers to their knees.
Bansheera lost her footing and hit the ground hard, the Auradon Rangers scrambled to keep their footholds so they didn't meet the ground.
At the command center Alex tossed a fireball at an approaching Imp and took it out even as Aquiella tossed her tidal boomerang to strike the rockets of one of the Revenants. Then the shockwave hit, taking out all of the demons and making the rangers grasp onto consoles.
"What was that?" Captain Mitchell asked.
"If I had to guess, it would be our strike team taking out the heart of the invasion." Melody answered him.
Jordan went over to one of the monitors that kept an eye on Mariner Bay and gasped. "Guys, it's not just here. That shockwave is taking out all of the demons that have appeared around the city." She revealed to them all.
"It doesn't erase the damage and destruction that they've caused." Ally reminded the genie girl simply.
"Where are Mal and the others?" Aquiella asked now.
"Um, this isn't over yet." Grant told them all as he pointed to the monitor where the rest of the Auradon team was getting ready to confront Bansheera yet again. They hoped for the last time.
"It's over Bansheera." Audrey said to the demon queen. "Your reinforcements are gone and you're standing alone."
"I can still defeat all of you. With that done then the remaining invasion force can take over this planet." Bansheera stated.
Ben and Ruby stepped forward. The Auradon Knight looked to Mal and the others. "We'll keep her distracted while you finish this off." Then the two of them charged Queen Bansheera.
"Alright then, just like we did against that Hell Knight." The purple ranger said. Mal raised her dragon's eye staff up. This was followed by Audrey placing her elemental bow points outward just under it, the third layer being placed just under Audrey's bow with Will's recursive sword. Evie placed her mirror force shield just behind it and the compacts of the weapon expanded outwards. Jay placed his soul scimitar in the center, followed by Lonnie's hurricane tessens, Carlos's earthquake claw daggers and Amy's rose lances on either side.
Ruby and Ben moved to either side just as they unleashed the power of the Auradon Blaster. It slammed into her and destroyed her just as the Auradon Rangers turned their back on the monster and toward the Lightspeed Rangers. "Mission complete." Carlos said happily.
"I just heard from dad." Dana said to them. "The entire base and the city was cleared of the demons when we destroyed that thing. But the damage has been done."
"It'll take a while to rebuild what they destroyed." Ryan agreed.
"And the lives they've ruined…" Kelsey started but felt it was better not to finish that sentence. No one needed her to finish it either.
"The other rangers were helping to fight the demons in the city too." Amy told them. "I'm sure they'll help with the rebuilding while we go help the next group of power rangers."
They made their way to the command center where Angela had just gotten the systems primary power up and running again. Dana went over to hug her father, Ryan only a step behind his sister. Joel went over to embrace his wife.
"We can come with you to help out." Carter said to them.
"I know you would hate to abandon your city." Mal replied. "We've got this. If something does come up we can always get a hold of you, and we've got the other rangers to help us too. Right now, rebuilding Mariner Bay is more important."
"I still have to wonder who that mysterious voice belonged to and who he was speaking to." Evie mused softly.
"We can ask Jennifer on our way to our next destination." Mal suggested. "She might be able to help us figure out that mystery." She looked to her team. "If I remember right our next destination should be Silver Hills, to help the Time Force Rangers deal with Steelix." She recalled Renet mentioning that he was not the good kind and wondered again what she meant by that.
"Well what are we waiting for then?" Lonnie asked. "Let's get to work."
Queen Bansheera had indeed been destroyed, and the demons had been eliminated as well…at least the demons that had invaded Mariner Bay. A tall, nearly gray haired man walked into the room that was occupied by Goldar, Scorpina, Gasket and Archerinna. His left hand was against his body, it seemed withered and useless and it was. Except for the use of magic.
"The demons were defeated again." The man told them all. "Those rangers beat them again. It should be no surprise since even those wretched reptiles have beaten them, just as my daughter would no doubt point out."
"And what of your formerly errant Hell Knight, Fulcanelli?" Gasket asked him. "The one you said had been recently reactivated in another realm?"
"My chief scientist Malcolm has told me the princess of that world managed to find a way to beat it, though we don't know how. Whatever she used is something that is unknown to him." Fulcanelli responded with distaste. "Just that she wasn't a power ranger."
"Did it come from the same place as those annoying Auradon Rangers?" Goldar now questioned.
"We don't know." Fulcanelli answered. "But it seems unlikely."
"Enough." Said a voice from the darkness. "What matters is that the orbs are out of our hands again. I don't know where those pesky rangers came from but we will find out. It's like they thought they knew what to expect, and perhaps they did. So now it's time to show them that we too can adapt to changes. Contact Steelix and tell him what he needs to do."
