Chapter 86 The Swarm

Nakia and Zelda are walking to the library.. Nakia is wearing a long yellow dress and wearing yellow shoes, she also has her hair up in a ponytail.. Zelda is wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white t shirt, a pink stripped outer shirt, and white tennis shoes.. She has her hair up in a ponytail as well.. They talk about their whole situation..

Zelda-I can't believe we're just sitting around not doing anything to find Princess Ariel.

Nakia-I know.. I can't believe it either.. But there's not much we can do till we know where Sinistar is.

Zelda-What if she is on the moon?

Nakia-Don't think so.. Jeremy couldn't find any source of life on it..

Zelda-Hmm.. I still think we should be doing more than we are..

Nakia-I know, and so do I.. But as long as she keeps attacking the earth, we have to be here in order to protect the people..

Zelda-Yeah you're right..

They make it to the entrance of the library and walk in.. Nakia says..

Nakia-This all sounds harsh but we'll find a way to get the Princess back..

Zelda-I know we will..

Nakia-Okay.. So let's do some studying..

Grand Master Sinistar watches both Rangers in the library from her palace.. She gets angry because her last general was destroyed..

Grand Master Sinistar-Curse those Rangers! I must find a suitable servant to keep them busy long enough so that I may have enough time to change the sword to my side!

She lets down her force field as she thinks but decides to put it back up again.. Before she does, a small black insect comes flying in.. She says at once..

Grand Master Sinistar-Reveal yourself at once!

The bug transforms instantly into a very large black hornet.. She has long wings in the back, and her body is completely metallic looking and feeling.. She bows and says with a buzz..

Queen Hornettza-Empress. I have been traveling the galaxy in search of your palace.. I come from the realm of resurrection..

Grand Master Sinistar looks the hornet up and down..

Grand Master Sinistar-What is it you want?

Queen Hornettza-Perhaps I can help you deal with the Power Rangers..

Grand Master Sinistar-Keep them busy.. That is all!

Queen Hornettza-I shall, master..

Back on earth, and in the city of Terra Falls.. Jeremy, Chet, Ryan and Joey are all at the old weather station using the main computer.. Even the lower level computers to scan the entire area including the far ends of space.. They continue to see if they can locate Princess Ariel, but no luck so far.. Ryan exclaims..

Ryan-Man! I thought I had something!

Chet looks over at him..

Chet-What was it?

Ryan-I was scanning the surface of the moon and the computer detected life.. But just for a second.. It all died down then..

Chet-Do you know what that means?!

Ryan-I've got a pretty good idea!

Chet-So do I!

At the library Kimberly shows up to study with Nakia and Zelda.. They sit at a corner table at the end of the section..

Amy walks into the library and notices Nakia as she passes by.. She stops walking and moves backwards a bit.. And she's wearing jeans and a t shirt.. She says.

Amy-Nakia?

Nakia looks up from reading and is surprised to see her..

Nakia-Hey whats up? I haven't seen you in a long time.

Amy-I know.. I went away for a while..

Nakia-Where'd you go?

Amy-I had to go to Florida to help take care of my sick aunt.

Nakia-Is she okay?

Amy-Yeah she's okay now.

Nakia-That's good.

Amy smiles a bit.. Nakia then says.

Nakia-You want to sit down with us?

Amy-Sure.. I just need to get a couple of books..

Nakia-Okay..

Before Amy goes Nakia introduces her to Zelda and Kimberly.. They are pleased to meet each other.. When Amy leaves, Nakia's communicator beeps.. She answers it, but in a whisper.. They don't know Amy comes walking by close enough so that she is able to hear.

Nakia-Go ahead…

Its Ryan.

Ryan-Hey I think we may have found life on the moon.

Nakia-Huh?

Ryan-You know what I mean babe..

Nakia-You mean you found the Princess?

Ryan-We think so.. You all should get back here now..

Nakia-All right..

Nakia looks at Kimberly and Zelda, they both nod in agreement. Amy is a bit shocked, but not really since she already knows Nakia is the Yellow Power Ranger..

Nakia doesn't see Amy around so she leaves a note explaining that she and her friends have to leave but she'll keep in touch.. They leave and Amy comes into view..

Amy-Wow.. I bet being a Ranger is so interesting..

A few minutes later, the guys are all hanging over the main computer.. Suddenly, three beams of streaked light appears in the room, yellow, pink and white.. Those lights form into Nakia, Zelda and Kimberly.. She asks as she walks forward..

Nakia-What did you guys find?

Jeremy answers.

Jeremy-We're guessing Sinistar may have a shield up over the moon..

Nakia-Hmm.. Sounds right.

Zelda-Yeah it does..

Kimberly-So all we have to do is get there and find the Princess right?

Jeremy-Hmm.. Yeah I think you should while things are cooled down here a bit..

Ryan-All right.. Then let's do it.

Just then Jeremy's computer sets off an alarming beep.. Zelda asks.

Zelda-What is it?

Jeremy sees what the alarm is telling them.. An image of a giant hornet attacking the city shows up.. The others gasp..

Zelda-Oh no.. A big hornet!

Nakia-Never ends..

Kimberly-We knew it anyway..

Nakia-Mm hmm..

Jeremy-You all better get to the scene before something really horrible happens.

Ryan-Right.. Let's go..

Queen Hornettza uses her stinging blasts to destroy buildings and frighten people out of her way. She laughs as she twirls her body around once and covers the area with more stinging blasts..

Queen Hornettza-Where are the rangers?! Perhaps they are too scared to confront me!

She chuckles..

Suddenly up in the air, all six Power Rangers cannonball flip into action.. They stand on the opposite side of the hideous Hornet Queen.. She looks at them and says..

Queen Hornettza-Look who decided to join the fun!

The White Ranger steps up and says.

White Ranger-Get outta here!

The Green Ranger adds..

Green Ranger-NOW!

Queen Hornettza-Now why would I want to leave when I'm having sooo much fun?!

She laughs and hops up, she then disappears.. The Red Ranger exclaims..

Red Ranger-Hey where'd she go?!

Jeremy beeps his communicator and answers that question..

Jeremy-She's in the forest area.. Get there..

Red Ranger-Right..

The Rangers nod and immediately teleport to the forest.. When they get there they don't see Queen Hornettza but they do have a surprise waiting for them.. Suddenly millions of small horrendous black hornets arise out of thin air and surrounds them.. They begin to sting them constantly..

Pink Ranger-UGH! THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!

White Ranger-WHAT NOW?! UGH!

They bat their hands at the hornets but it doesn't work.. Soon the stinging gets worse and results in electrical surges that cause small explosions on the Rangers suits.. The swarm of hornets gets worse, a lot worse. Seconds later it seems like the entire forest is blanketed by a swarm of mean and dangerous hornets.. Jeremy watches from his main computer and gasps..

Jeremy-Ah man! Rangers, if you can hear me, get back here now!

They don't hear him, and soon they're worn down to their knees.

Yellow Ranger-UGHH! THIS IS REALLY BAD!

The Power Rangers know that their only chance is to teleport out of the forest immediately.. They use their powers and disappear into the air as multicolored beams of streaked light..

When they return to the old weather station, they collapse in the main computer room.. Jeremy immediately becomes worried.. He gets up and rushes over to them..

Jeremy-Hey you guys okay?

The Red Ranger looks at him and says weakly..

Red Ranger-Oh man it felt really bad.. All those stings..

Jeremy-What can I do to help you?

Red Ranger-Don't know.. Man.. Ugh!

A magical swirl of energy appears in the room, it transforms into Lightwing.. Jeremy looks at him and asks.

Jeremy-Huh?

Lightwing sets his sights on the Rangers and uses his magic to heal their bodies.. They thank him as they all stand up.. He then reassures them that they must get back otherwise the hornets will attack the people and they could all end up seriously hurt..

The Rangers immediately teleport back but with a plan.. It is decided that the Pink, White, and Green Rangers will use their storm cells to subdue the hornets.

The forest has cleared a bit but there are still many hornets around.. They spot the Rangers and immediately head over to them.. The White Ranger immediately reacts..

White Ranger-I call upon the power of snow!

Her hands glow as she raises them and soon the sky fills with clouds that release snow.. As it falls, the Pink Ranger is next to say..

Pink Ranger-I call upon the power of wind!

She raises both of her hands as they glow pink.. And soon a powerful wind appears to guide the snow over towards the hornets.. When it all hits them, they become stunned and paralyzed. But that's not all.. The Green Ranger raises his hands as he says..

Green Ranger-Hail storm come on down!

His hands glow and as the snow clears, a powerful hail storm pours down and strikes all of the stunned hornets, soon they're all destroyed.. When complete the Rangers congratulate each other.. Its not over yet though.. Queen Hornettza appears and is very angry.. Although she can't destroy them due to Grand Master Sinistar's orders, she can still hurt them and will definitely try..

She yells at them and uses her powers to try to subdue them, but the Rangers are too quick, they all leap up and out of the way of her blasts.. Once in the air, they go into cannonball flip mode.. They each flip in sequence.. Red, Yellow, Pink, White, Green and Blue.. When out of that mode, they land very quickly and immediately surround Queen Hornettza.. When they hit her body, it doesn't do much, except retaliate on them.. Her body sends out a super stunning charge that goes through the Ranger's bodies and stuns them very badly..

Power Rangers-UGH!

The stunning energy knocks them away from Queen Hornettza.. Swiftly rolling onto their backs, each Ranger groans out in pain..

The Red Ranger speaks in a weak tone..

Red Ranger-We..wont..lose..this..one..not..to an.. Over grown..

He screams out because Queen Hornettza stings them all again with her power.. The Yellow Ranger breaks free and grabs Queen Hornettza's abdomen with her legs.. She manages to flip her onto her back and leap back up on her feet. The Queen becomes angrier as she tumbles around on her back.. The Yellow Ranger rushes back to help her friends..

And the Queen stands back up and readying another blast.. The Yellow Ranger notices and quickly materializes her wild cat power daggers.. She fly's up into the air and lands giving Queen Hornettza two powerful yellow energetic swipping strikes with both Daggers.. This causes her to fall onto her back again and explode into an explosion that doesn't destroy her, but hurts her, badly..

The Other Rangers get back on their feet and the Yellow Ranger rejoins them.. The Queen stumbles back up but only to be surprised with a super attack of all of the Ranger's storm cells.. They surround her and give her a blast that destroys her entire body.. When finished the Rangers sigh, and relax a bit but they rejoice because they just won another battle.

Nakia gets back to the library.. Zelda and Kimberly says they'll meet up with her later.. When she gets there she finds Amy reading a book and writing.. In other words, she's taking notes.. Nakia walks up to her table and says.

Nakia-Hey, whats up?

Amy stops reading and writing.. She looks up and responds.

Amy-Hi Nakia.. I'm just taking some notes for biology class.

Nakia sits down at the table.

Nakia-That's cool.. Listen about earlier..

Amy shakes her head..

Amy-No don't worry about it.. I know why you had to leave.

Nakia looks at her suspiciously and asks.

Nakia-You do?

Amy-Yeah.. And I think its cool..

Nakia-What's cool?

Amy-That you're a Power Ranger.

Nakia gasps. And tries to deny it, that is until Amy tells her everything she had seen before and what she heard earlier today..

Nakia-Well guess I can't get away with that one, huh?

Amy-Its okay.. Really.. I can keep a secret..

Nakia-Good.. Thanks.

Amy smiles at her.. And Nakia takes out papers, she's about to do some studying too.

Meanwhile on the moon, Grand Master Sinistar approaches a very weak Cosmica. She says.

Grand Master Sinistar-Very soon my spell will be complete.. Then you yourself will provide me with what I need to take the power from your sword!

Cosmica tries to respond, but she's so weak, she says nothing. The evil being laughs as her hollow holes where her eyes are supposed to be, glow red.. And everything fades to black..
