Chapter 104 A Cry from the Death of a Star Part 5

Nakia shuts off her new communicator and switches her tracker back on. She says to the others.

Nakia-Now let's go back over to the spot where our trackers started to beep up a storm.

Zelda-Right.

Joey-No time like the present.

The other three Rangers are still not having any good luck.. Lightwing is seen flying through the dangerous explosions in a crazy frenzy. The Green Ranger spots him as he and the other two hide behind a car to shield themselves from Compactiaris' blasts.. He shouts out.

Green Ranger-LIGHTWING!

Compactiaris spots Lightwing and says hungrily.

Compactiaris-MMM YOU'D TASTE DELICIOUS ROASTED YOU LIGHT MEAL WITH FEATHERS!

Lightwing becomes insulted and says.

Lightwing-I'm no one's meal you beast!

He continues to make his way through the dangerous scene.. The Green Ranger leaps up and over the car, he quickly goes into cannonball mode and when he comes out of it, he grabs Lightwing right before a very hot energy beam has the chance to hit him. He then gets him to safety in a nearby closed off alley way.. Lightwing looks at the spot where the blast blew open a part of the street and gasps heavily. He looks at the Green Ranger and says.

Lightwing-Thank you!

Green Ranger-No problem little buddy.

Lightwing-I had no idea such destruction was going on.

Green Ranger-I figured as much since you're always sleeping.

Lightwing-I may be always sleeping, but in that sleep my powers are growing.

Green Ranger-Really?

Lightwing-Yes, that's why I sleep so much. Hibernation does wonders for my kind.

Green Ranger-So why'd you come out here and almost get turned into a roasted turkey?

Lightwing-I came to warn you all because I sensed an ancient evil in space.

Green Ranger-What ancient evil?

Lightwing-An evil intergalactic spirit that was once hidden away in the Nova Dimension, but now it has been freed.

Green Ranger-Who is it?

Before Lightwing has the chance to answer, a heavy blast once again knocks away the Red and White Rangers. The end up crashing right next to the alley way very bad like.. The Green Ranger rushes out and helps them back on their feet.. He then rushes them all into the alleyway. The White Ranger sees Lightwing as she catches her breath.. She then sits down on the ground and asks.

White Ranger-Lightwing what are you doing here?

Lightwing-I came to warn you.

The Red Ranger cuts him off after a heavy breather. And says.

Red Ranger-Of that monster? Well you're a little too late for that.

Lightwing-No..

He is cut off again as the ground begins to rumble and they hear Compactiaris' very huge voice.

Compactiaris-YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER RANGERS! AND WHEN I SEE YOU, I'LL COMPACT YOU! HAHA..

The White Ranger says.

White Ranger-Three of us aren't just enough to handle that thing!

Red Ranger-We're still going to do everything we can.

White Ranger-I know.

Back on the rock planet.. Cosmica and King Boulder have landed near the very high mountain side.. In fact the mountain side is very huge. Cosmica says as they both stand at the bottom looking up at the entire sight.

Cosmica-Could the giants be in this mountain?

King Boulder-I believe so.

Cosmica-Hmm.

King Boulder-I do know the six giants are hidden somewhere on the planet. And I'm getting a feeling something powerful is in this rocky mountain. It could be the Giants.

Cosmica-No worries. We'll find them..

King Boulder-Why do you want to help me so badly?

Cosmica-I don't like seeing anyone picked on. And if using your rock giants are the only way to stop those creeps who took over your planet, then we're not going to stop looking for them till we find them.

King Boulder nods. And suddenly right underneath them, the heat seeking drillers have finally arrived after following a great time due to King Boulder's tremendous amount of leaking heat his body has been setting off. They are just about to burst through the ground and capture King Boulder when something stops them.. They then vanish quickly.

Back in Slimibal's ship He sits next to a very large alien computer inside of his main control room. Fuumiz happens to be floating behind him watching the screen as well.. She says in a hideous raspy tone.

Fuumiz-Hmm it's a good thing I brought back your heat seeking drillers.

Slimibal-The Emperor won't like this.. You changing his orders.

Fuumiz-No. I haven't changed his orders. I'm going to simply modify them.

She cackles.

Slimibal-What do you mean exactly?

Fuumiz-I'm sure the Emperor would like to confront the King and his companion himself, along with us being by his side.

Slimibal-His orders.

She cuts him off.

Fuumiz-And at the same time, we'll find some very nice prizes to bring under our control!

Slimibal-What?

Fuumiz-Pay close attention Slimibal. I know exactly what I'm doing.

She points her left hand at a table and releases a swirling dark magic that surrounds the upper part, once it finishes its swirl, it glittery bursts into another metal cage filled with the heat seeking drillers inside. She says.

Fuumiz-Now that you have your pets back, let's go and see the Emperor.

Slimibal-Very well. But this is all on your head. I'm not taking any punishments for you.

Fuumiz-We'll be congratulated. Not punished.. You'll see!

A few minutes later after explaining to the Emperor, Fuumiz and Slimbal watch his faces change dramatically as he thinks. Finally, the blue ruby shines brightly and makes his calm face arise. He says.

Emperor Kyviliziz-I like your plan Fuumiz.

Slimibal tries to take some credit but Fuumiz growls at him which makes him back down.

Emperor Kyviliziz-So get us there.. I want to surprise them.

Fuumiz-Yes Emperor.

She raises both of her hands high into the air and causes a misty dark magical swirl to appear. It completely surrounds them all then bursts into a magical glitter which now makes them all disappear at once.

Cosmica takes a hold of King Boulder and floats gently up to the center opening of the very huge rock mountain. They land and start walking inside where they find a very vast area and an open pit that appears to be smoking. Cosmica looks down at it and says.

Cosmica-Whoa.. Its hot in here.

King Boulder-It feels wonderful.

Cosmica-Not to me. I'm made of flesh.

King Boulder-That's why.

Cosmica-Let's start looking.

King Boulder-We'll have to fly across the pit.

Cosmica-I do know that.

She takes a hold of him again and starts to fly across.

Back on earth, Nakia, Zelda and Joey have found the same spot because their wrist trackers begin to beep loudly again. Right before they are able to do anything else, the ground from underneath them bursts into a cyclone of heavy sandy dust.. They are all coughing badly and end up being knocked away from the spot and onto their backs.

Nakia, Zelda and Joey-UGHGH!

They continue to cough due to the major dust.

Very quickly, Forgex emerges up in front of them.. Nakia is the first to stop coughing.. She immediately notices Forgex and says.

Nakia-A monster! We were right!

Zelda and Joey stop coughing and soon they all leap back onto their feet.. Standing together as a team, they begin their transformation sequences. But Forgex stops them.. He conjures up a dust storm that actually begins to build over them at a fast rate. Nakia exclaims, Zelda gasps and Joey shouts out.

NAKIA-WHAT THE!?

Zelda-OH NO!

Joey-HEY!

More seconds pass and the three find themselves completely covered within a hardened sand dusty cocoon. Forgex laughs and materializes all six energy pillars.. The pillars all resemble beautiful crystals that now he must plant in six different places. He vanishes instantly to finish his task.

Inside of the cocoon the three try to break free but when they hit their gross prison it retaliates by giving them a painful jolt in their hands. Nakia shouts out.

Nakia-OUCH!

Zelda-How are we going to get out of here?!

Joey adds.

Joey-This is harder than rock it seems.

Zelda-Maybe if we morph we'll be able to break out.

Nakia-We're all crammed in here. We need room.

Soon they hear a magical growling coming from Nakia's wrist tracker.. They look at it and see it glowing brightly yellow.. And very soon after, Zelda's is doing the same and so is Joey's. Nakia gets an idea.

Nakia-Hey our animal souls. Let's use the energy from our trackers.

Zelda-Yeah it might just work.

Joey-I hope so.

They hold up their wrists as their trackers begin to glow even more and the growling increases. Soon images of a yellow wildcat, a pink panther and a blue saw shark all appear.. And voraciously begins to devour the sand cocoon surrounding the three. When they're all free.. Joey says.

Joey-We'd better morph and chase after that monster!

Nakia-Yeah you're right. We have to stop him before he can do anything.

Zelda-And we can use our animal souls to track him!

Nakia-Exactly..

They all stand together with Nakia in the middle, Zelda on the right and Joey on the left. Now they all stick out their right arms out to their left sides, then they swing them around once to bring them back to their right sides. Now they pull their arms back and push them forward as they all yell out together.

Nakia, Zelda and Joey-STARLIGHT POWER!

A beautiful essence of the Universe appears and surrounds all three of them, and soon a Yellow Star appears and starts swirling all around Nakia's body therefore leaving its yellow power residue on her, it then attaches itself to the center of Nakia's chest and this causes an explosion to arise from under Nakia's body. As the explosion covers her body completely a transparent image of a yellow wild cat appears. The explosion disappears as the yellow wild cat image forms onto Nakia's body. Her body starts glowing brightly yellow, and as it dies down Nakia is completely transformed into the Yellow Starlight Power Ranger.

Next, a pink star appears and swirls all around Zelda, it then leaves its pink power residue all over her body as it now attaches itself to the center of her chest. An explosion flares up and covers Zelda completely as an image of her pink panther appears. The explosion dies down as the image forms all onto Zelda's body. Afterwards she starts glowing brightly pink as she has now become the Pink Starlight Power Ranger.

And last but not least, a blue star appears and swirls around as well as leave its energy all on Joey's body. It attaches itself to the center of his chest and this causes a huge explosion to completely engulf Joey's body. Very soon after an image of Joey's saw shark appears and forms onto his body as the explosion leaves. Joey has finally been transformed into the Blue Starlight Power Ranger and his body glows brightly blue.

Powered up and ready, the three Power Rangers leap up into the sky as their bodies begin to glow and soon they are formed into three lights of streaking beams that make their way across the sky with the guidance of their animal soul power.. They know their powers will lead them straight to the monster, Forgex.

Forgex rushes over towards a large forest area.. He immediately picks a spot to plant the first pillar but is startled when he sees three beautiful lights quickly landing and forming into the Yellow, Pink and Blue Starlight Power Rangers. Without saying a word to them, he immediately uses his hammer like weapon to fire explosive rays at the Rangers.. But luckily they're much too quick this time. They all are seen up in the air but just for a second, because then end up landing right next to Forgex and the attack begins. The Pink Ranger side kicks the monster in the stomach, and the Yellow Ranger does an awesome floor sweeping swoop that knocks down the monster, but before he even hit's the ground, the Blue Ranger tornado kicks the beast right into a very old looking tree.. He groans out.

Forgex-UGHH!

The Yellow Ranger steps forward and demands.

Yellow Ranger-Tell us what you're up to, now!

Forgex gets it together and stands up slightly as he responds.

Forgex-Not in this lifetime Rangers!

The Rangers rush at him again but this time he's a little better prepared.. The Yellow Ranger materializes her daggers and tries to hit the Forgex, but this event turns quickly and just when she's close enough to him, he takes a hold of her left arm and pulls her down slightly, he then gives her a facial area a super upward kick with his shin and sends her crashing upward into a mess of branches. He turns back around and sees the Pink Ranger slightly behind him, she does a nice stair walking kick, but Forgex ducks, and when he gets up he swings his left leg around in an attempt to hit the Pink Ranger, but she catches it and lifts him up and over onto his stomach, but this doesn't stop him at all. He gets right back up and blasts the Pink Ranger's body with a high concentrated beam of power directly from both of his hands.. She is sent flying slightly away from the scene and eventually she ends up crashing up into a very old oak tree. The Blue Ranger tries his luck, he fiercely attacks with a side kick, a front kick, then a turn around back kick, the monster has blocked the kicks and quickly strikes the Blue Ranger's chest with a hard hit therefore causing him to fall on his back.. Forgex then stomps his chest three times before giving him the last really crushing feeling which causes the Blue Ranger's suit to set off small explosions. He screams out because the pain he's feeling becomes unbearable.

Blue Ranger-AAAAHHHHHHH!

Still attempting to actually crush the Blue Ranger's body, Forgex doesn't notice an unfamiliar creature coming from behind him.. The creature resembles a wild cat, but its transparent with yellow as its dominating color. As the wildcat gets closer to Forgex, its mouth grows to a huge state. He does hear growling, and turns around to see the wild cat, but with its mouth completely opened.. He tries to get away but the wild cat captures him in its mouth which by doing so it free's the Blue Ranger.. And just when the wild cat closes its mouth with a thunderous clash, the Blue Ranger rolls out of the way because he knows what's about to happen, and it does! Yes! Forgex's body explodes in the wildcat's mouth..

The Pink Ranger manages to get out of the tree and she quickly rushes over to the Blue Ranger.. She helps him back on his feet and quickly they both rush a few feet away from the explosion.

After the explosion clears up the Yellow Ranger is seen standing over Forgex's very badly hurt body. The Pink and Blue Rangers rush over to her.. The Pink Ranger says happily.

Pink Ranger-You did it!

Yellow Ranger-Yeah. Now we need to find out what he's up to.

The Pink and Blue Rangers nod in agreement. But suddenly, three glowing rope like beams appear quickly and capture all three Rangers, but separately and flings them all onto the bark of a tree where the rope beams are tieing them together very tightly. The Yellow Ranger exclaims with great anger.

Yellow Ranger-WHAT IS THIS!?

They struggle to free themselves but it proves to be futile.

Pink Ranger-I can't move!

Blue Ranger-Me either!

Yellow Ranger-Ugh! We have to get out of this bind!

They hear a familiar laughing which makes them stop and look straight forward where they see Grand Master Sinistar appear and floating towards them. She says.

Grand Master Sinistar-You pesty Rangers are a lot more trouble than you're worth! Even three of you make me superbly sick!

She looks at her fallen monster and zaps his body heavily with her scepter's dark power. She says.

Grand Master Sinistar-GET UP YOU IDIOT!

Forgex's body starts to heal thanks to his master's power.. He then awakens and leaps on his feet. He bows when he sees his master.. She stands tall holding her deadly scepter of power as she says.

Grand Master Sinistar-Finish your task!

Forgex-Yes master.

Grand Master Sinistar-And don't disappoint me!

Her body fades away with a single sound of a fierce thunder clap. Forgex looks at the struggling Rangers and decides to leave them be so he can find a spot to plant the first pillar. They all scream out as he runs away.

Yellow Ranger-YOU EVIL CREATURE!

Pink Ranger-WE'LL STOP YOU!

Blue Ranger-COUNT ON IT!

Back on the rock planet, both Cosmica and King Boulder have made it through several smaller inner caves.. They finally make it to the largest one of all within the huge rocky mountain. King Boulder says to her as they land gently.

King Boulder-This is it! I know it is.

Cosmica-It's so dark and damp in here.

King Boulder-I know. But this is the place, I can feel the Giant's energy.

They hear an unfamiliar voice coming from the shadows before them.

Fuumiz-I felt their energy too. Marvelous isn't it?

Cosmica gasps and the King becomes startled. He asks.

King Boulder-Who's there?!

Fuumiz-Someone you're about to regret meeting!

She lets out a high raspy laugh.. Then suddenly a burst of her magic causes the entire place to light up. Cosmica and the King look very cautiously at the four evil creatures before them.. Cosmica asks.

Cosmica-Who are you?!

The Emperor speaks with his calm face.

Emperor Kyviliziz-I think that question most suits me for asking..

He looks directly at the King who's looking more frightened than ever.

Emperor Kyviliziz-Ah King Boulder. How wonderful to see you again!

The King asks with a shudder.

King Boulder-What have you done with the Queen and the others?

The Emperor's supremely evil face takes over now.

Emperor Kyviliziz-Oh.. They're having a wonderful time digging..

King Boulder-Digging for what?

Emperor Kyviliziz-Your planet's heat source of course! And now I'm so glad to see you again because you're going to work for me as well.

Cosmica reveals her power sword and steps in front of King Boulder.. She says sternly.

Cosmica-He's not going anywhere with you!

Slimibal says.

Slimibal-Ah big words coming from a puny flesh creature.

The Emperor gives Fuumiz an order.

Emperor Kyviliziz-Fuumiz get them! And then find our prizes!

Fuumiz-Consider it done!

Fuumiz quickly waves both of her hands which cause a huge smoky residue to arise and capture both Cosmica and King Boulder, when the smoke vanishes, they are both found in a heavy metal cage.. Cosmica starts pounding against the metal walls but it doesn't seem to be doing any good.. She shouts out.

Cosmica-LET US OUT OF HERE NOW!

Fuumiz-Don't worry. You'll be free soon. To work for us!

She lets out another raspy laugh.

Meanwhile, back at the digging site, everyone is tired, but still they are forced to keep working. One of the rock citizens' shovels hits something extremely hard in the ground, so hard that it cracks the shovel. He secretly alerts the Princess who tells the Queen.. She says as she's still digging.

Queen Rock-I have no idea of what it could be.

Princess Trockia-I think it might be something that could help us.

Queen Rock-We'll dig around it to get a better idea of what it is.

The Princess nods.

Back inside of the huge rocky mountain.. Fuumiz uses her magic to penetrate through the cavern's walls. The Emperor starts to get very impatient when they find nothing. Cattatastra says sarcastically.

Cattatastra-Ohh Fuumiz you and your wonderful ideas! You haven't found anything!

Fuumiz-I know there's something here! I sense its energy..

The Emperor adds.

Emperor Kyviliziz-Then you had better find it quick!

Fuumiz zaps a part of the floor which soon cracks open, Slimibal notices something coming out of the crack.. An orange reddish substance. He exclaims.

Slimibal-There's something under here! And its hot!

Cattatastra says another sarcastic remark.

Cattatastra-Could it be.. Let me think.. Uh heat?!

Slimibal-Yeah, heat, along with a companion that can melt us all instantly!

Emperor Kyviliziz-Hmm.. Nothing is worth melting for..

He says to Fuumiz.

Emperor Kyviliziz-Get us out of here!

Fuumiz-But what about finding..

He cuts her off.

Emperor Kyviliziz-I said get us out of here! But first I want you to make the King and his friend a little more comfortable.

Fuumiz-Yes Emperor.

She blasts the floor up under them and it begins to heavily crack. Soon more of that same fiery substance comes seeping through. Fuumiz now uses her powers to teleport herself and the rest of her comrades away..

Cosmica uses all of her strength now against the metal cage and soon it bursts open right when the floor up under it completely gives way and cracks wide open.. Cosmica moves out of the way but the King sinks with the cage into the molten lava.. Cosmica screams out.

Cosmica-KING BOULDER!?

Cosmica stands there in fright thinking the worst because the King doesn't respond to her.. Her worries increase as everything fades to black..
