Chapter 116 Mirror, Mirror Part 1
Recovering from the hefty blast brought on by Vultaris.. Everyone except for Myndor and Kastra who fell down in her healing basement gets up again and rush outside to confront Dragonlord and Bulldemon. The violent shaking has stopped.
After getting over a slight shock to once again see Dragonlord everyone goes into protection mode, they stand their ground and Ryan is the first to let out his anger in words.
Ryan-What do you think you're doing?!
Dragonlord immediately responds to Ryan's angry statement.
Dragonlord-I know exactly what we're doing Rangers!
Dragonlord and Bulldemon notices Vultaris coming out of Kastra's home with both Myndor and Kastra in his possession, they have been bounded by power chains and cannot break free.. The Rangers turn and gasp at the sight of their captured friends.. They try to help them but Vultaris opens up his enormous beak and blasts them with another hefty dose of dark power.. They fall together.
Everyone-Ugghh!
Dragonlord laughs.. After he finishes his laughing he speaks again.
Dragonlord-Vultaris good job.. Take them to our master..
Vultaris-At once. She will be most pleased.
He takes a hold of both Kastra and Myndor's chains with his jagged clawed feet. He then takes flight with the two magical beings into the sky.
Nakia yells out at Vultaris.
Nakia-NOOO! LET THEM GO!
Of course he doesn't listen.. He just continues on his way till he and his captured victims can't be seen within the distance.
Dragonlord focuses on Ryan and his friends.. They have stood back up on their feet. He smirks at them and says with evil glee.
Dragonlord-I have fought you many times Power Rangers. And each time I have failed. But not this time. Oh no, I have something much more potent for you!
Zelda steps forward and says.
Zelda-You're not going to beat us Dragonlord, ever!
Dragonlord-I beg to differ! For I will not be the one to cause your destruction..Oh no! The one's who will cause your destruction..
He props up his scaly hands and materializes the six small pocket green mirrors through his chest area. He then hurls them at the Rangers and shouts out with force.
Dragonlord-ARE YOURSELVES!
The mirrors land about a foot away from the Rangers and explode into six heavy green smoky clouds.. They all roll out of the way of the green smoky explosions yet I am sad to say Ryan is the only one who escapes the explosive clouds that formed into green energy suction beams. Those beams captured Nakia, Zelda, Kimberly, Chet and Joey and have pulled them into five separate mirrors . Even more angry now Ryan leaps up into the air fiercely as his body glows brightly red, he then shouts out.
Ryan-RED STAR, FIRE STORM POWER, NOW!
He goes into cannonball mode just as his body catches aflame. He then lands perfectly as the Red Star Fire Storm Power Ranger next to the evil beings with his triple blade sword in hand. He attacks with great speed. Giving both monsters ruthless strikes with his weapon, the Red Ranger's anger causes both monsters to catch a flame.. They scream out in pain as he gives them a super powerful upper cutting strike.. This causes both monsters fling up into the air for a second then drop down a few feet away with a big banging crash.
Dragonlord looks up and sees the Red Ranger charging.. His triple blade sword glowing with supreme red power. Bulldemon props himself back on his feet and charges at the Red Ranger in a butting sense. Bulldemon's horns are his guide.. The Red Ranger swipes at the beast, but he manages to catch the Red Ranger's waist area right in between his horns.. He flicks him up and over very hard like.. The Red Ranger falls to the ground in a painful way.. He has also dropped his weapon.
After getting up Dragonlord materializes another mirror and hurls it at the Red Ranger's fallen body.. He painfully remarks.
Red Ranger-You're not.. Goin.. To.. Get.. Me!
He hops back up on his feet and attempts to attack Dragonlord.. Bulldemon fires a beam of dark power from behind the Red Ranger.. And so he thinks.. Instead of trying to get Dragonlord at this very moment, he simply leaps up and over Dragonlord's body therefore letting Dragonlord get hit by Bulldemon's power.. He screams out in pain.
Dragonlord-AAAAHHHH!
When he recovers he angrily states.
Dragonlord-Watch it next time Bulldemon you idiot!
Bulldemon becomes highly insulted at the idiot word Dragonlord used.. He says.
Bulldemon-Don't call me an idiot! You're an idiot!
Dragonlord-What?! How dare you!
Bulldemon-How dare I what, what, what?!
Seeing this as a slight chance.. The Red Ranger hides behind a really big tree and thinks.
Red Ranger-I've got to get my friends back.. And fast.
The two beastly creatures continue their arguing.
Meanwhile, inside of all five mirrors, the others witness a strange and parallel world. A strange and evil power starts to overcome all of their senses and Nakia is the first to be upstaged by someone she knows all too well.. She walks around trying to get out of the endless looking void when she hears a voice.
Mirror Nakia-Hey what's up?
Nakia looks around and asks.
Nakia-Who said that?
Mirror Nakia-I did.
Nakia continues to look around but sees nothing except for the void that's not making her slightly dizzy.
Nakia-Show yourself!
Mirror Nakia-Why would I want to do that? You already know what I look like.
An image of Nakia appears right in the center of the void.. She looks at it and gasps, the only difference is the image's eyes are slightly darker than her own.
Zelda walks around her endless void in the second mirror, of course she can't find a way out but that doesn't stop her from wanting to leave. She hears a voice lurking around the area.
Mirror Zelda-What are you looking for?
Zelda becomes startled she asks with quickness.
Zelda-Who's there?!
Mirror Zelda-I'm you. I know what you're going through..
Zelda-What are you talking about?
Mirror Zelda-You don't want to be the Pink Ranger anymore do you?
Zelda-It's my duty to be the Pink Ranger.
Mirror Zelda-Oh yeah, your duty. I'm sure you'd rather be a professional actress than fighting monsters all the time.
Zelda becomes totally speechless because her mirror self has struck a true chord in her heart. She really does want to become an actress and would hope one day her wish would come true.
In mirror #3, Kimberly is doing the same thing Nakia and Zelda were doing, walking around the endless void. Suddenly an image of herself appears looking very professional and sitting in an office working on a computer.. She watches with astonishment and fright as her mirror self picks up a ringing phone.
Mirror Kimberly-Hello? Oh yes. I know. It was scheduled for 3:00 today. But I can't get to the homeless shelter today, or tomorrow or in a couple of years.. I have to go and check on my stocks and that definitely takes time.. Yes I know I'm already richer than Midas. But who cares about the poor people.. I don't.. I'm rich!
She lets out a tiny laugh.. The real Kimberly shakes her head in disbelief.
In mirror #4, Chet is being spoken to from his mirror self who's eyes are most dark..
Mirror Chet-I can't believe it.. You're a real chicken.. You can't even ask Zelda out on a date. I can't believe I'm even a part of you.
Chet stammers a bit.
Chet-Wha..t.. I'm.. no..chicken..
Mirror Chet-Oh yes you are. You prove it all the time.. You never ask Zelda out on a date even though she would love to go out with you.. How chicken is that dude? You're pathetic.
Chet gets himself back together again in a speaking sense, which means he stops his stammering.
Chet-I'm no chicken!
Mirror Chet-Yeah you are.
Mirror Chet imitates a chicken then points at the real Chet and laughs.
In mirror # 5, Joey's mirror self is blaming him for his old professions problems.
Mirror Joey-It's all your fault! That's why the weather station failed! You never contributed anything even though they were paying you! You make me sick!
Joey-I didn't cause the weather station to fail. It was beyond my control.
Mirror Joey-Save it. You're not much of a Ranger Joey, in fact you're not much of a man either.
Joey-You're really pushing my buttons man!
Mirror Joey-Ah Haha! Sure, you think if I pushed the right one you'd be able to do something right for a change?
Joey-I'm not listening to this crap!
Mirror Joey-You were supposed to be the technical brains of the team right? You made a few inventions that sucked! You never made anything that benefited the team!
Joey-I'm not listening!
Mirror Joey-You're a loser Joey. Always have been and always will be. So sad don't ya think?
Joey-Go away! Leave me alone!
Mirror Joey-Why? Because I'm telling you the truth? Hahaha! You caused the weather station to fail.. You let them down, and you let the other Rangers down too.
Sadly, Joey begins to believe his mirror image's own words.
On the outside, Dragonlord and Bulldemon are still arguing. The Red Ranger is still trying to figure out a way to get the mirror pieces without Dragonlord or Bulldemon noticing.
Back to Nakia, she starts getting upset at the newly developed image she's looking at right now.. The image is of Ryan and Debbie, the girl he was working with in car repair class.. The two are seen having a romantic dinner and dressed up in fancy clothes.. Nakia exclaims.
Nakia-WHAT IS THIS!? HE'S MINE!
She rushes closer to the image and is stopped by an invisible barrier.. It slightly knocks her away but she rushes again, with less speed this time though and pounds her fists on the barrier.. The sounds become pulsating and most annoying as she shouts out.
Nakia-NO! RYAN IS MINE!
Mirror Nakia laughs.
Mirror Nakia-No he's not.. He's with her now.. You have been dumped.
Nakia-NO! NO! NO! THIS IS A TRICK! I WON'T LISTEN TO YOU!
Mirror Nakia-It's true Nakia. I know its hard to accept the truth. You have to face the facts.. Ryan stopped loving you. He found someone better. He moved on with someone who will make all of his dreams come true.
Nakia lets out a shrilling cry due to her emotions going out of control.
Nakia-NOOOOO! RYAN IS MINE! HE'S MINE! I LOVE HIM!
In Zelda's void.. She watches an image of herself giving a very beautiful performance on stage in a light pink dress. The people in the image's audience begin to boo her and throwing their food and drinks on her.. Zelda starts to shout out.
Zelda-OH NO!
Mirror Zelda-You see Zelda? If you leave here you're acting career would be over right before it got started.. Everyone will think you're horrible. They'll be talking about you for years in the most negative way.
Zelda-That's not true! How can it be…
Mirror Zelda-You don't have what it takes to be an actress. You are weak minded.
Zelda exclaims.
Zelda-I am far from being weak minded!
Mirror Zelda-Oh yeah? What about the time when you let Corey, that gorgeous hunk of man take you for a fool?
Zelda stutters only a little bit.
Zelda-I.. Didn.'t
Mirror Zelda-He used you and all because you're totally weak minded.
Zelda gets it together slightly.
Zelda-That couldn't be helped! I didn't mean for him.. I thought he..
Mirror Zelda-Oooo feeling sorry for yourself now?
Zelda-STOP IT!
At the ancient druid temple.. Grand Master Sinistar has subdued the obvious magical security measures that have tried to stop her.. She's now in the main stoned room with a very large cauldron filled with a blue magical potion.. The room is the same where Myndor had stood each time to ask for advice from the 5 large stoned statues that resemble the ancient druids. She stands and looks into the cauldron, then places her hand in it.. The bubbling blue potion starts to violently react.. It turns from a bright blue to a dull multicoloration as voices arise.
Jed-Sinistar! Your evil will not be permitted!
Zalidar-Leave the temple now!
Galik-We command you!
Malidax-Leave!
Udane-At once!
She laughs and notices the voices becoming more and more distorted as the potion turns into a pitch black color.. The voices scream out in agony as they are magically washed away with dark power. Grand Master Sinistar then raises her scepter and zaps all of the five statues at once.. The power from her scepter allows her to let it go so that it may float above the cauldron and keep its zapping effect upon the statues. Soon the bottom of her scepter releases another energy that flows into the black potion within the cauldron. She laughs and says heartily.
Grand Master Sinistar-YES, YES! COME FORTH ANCIENT SPIRITS! YOU CANNOT HIDE THE AMULET NO LONGER!
Right now at this second, Vultaris comes into the main room with Myndor and Kastra still bounded by his power chains.. Grand Master Sinistar sees this and instead of getting angry like usual, she actually feels delighted.. She says to Vultaris.
Grand Master Sinistar-Good work Vultaris. They will come in handy very soon!
He drops them a few feet away from the cauldron.. Myndor looks up weakly to see the master's scepter hard at work.. He shrieks out.
Myndor-NO! YOU CANNOT DISTURB THE ANCIENT SPIRITS!
Grand Master Sinistar looks at him and says.
Grand Master Sinistar-SILENCE YOU WEAK FOOL!
She points her arm at him and sends out a powerful dark jolt that zaps him badly, but not only does it zap it, it also affects Kastra.. They shudder with pain but hold their groans and moans.
Grand Master Sinistar looks at Vultaris and says sternly.
Grand Master Sinistar-Go back to help Dragonlord and Bulldemon subdue the Power Rangers.. Remember once they are subdued, bring them to me!
Vultaris-Yes my Queen. It shall be done.
He flees out of the temple.
Meanwhile, back in present day Terra Falls, Kyle and his friends have been transported right where they were first spotted.. They look around and see everything looking so beautiful and healthy.. Kyle says to the others in worriment.
Kyle-I hope Ryan and his friends are doing okay.
Valerie says with concern..
Valerie-Me too.
Grant-I wish they'd let us help them.
Chris-After all we did help get rid of the deadinite crystal.
Bianca says with less importance.
Bianca-It was sort of fun.. But I really don't think I'm cut out for that kind of work.
Valerie-What do you mean?
Bianca-I mean I'd rather go do some serious shopping.
The others are shocked by her nonchalant behavior.
Kyle-Don't you realize what they're going to go through Bianca?
Bianca-Of course I do. They're Power Rangers so they can handle it.
They shake their heads at her but she just brushes it off with a snotty look.
On another planet, a very dark planet, Queen Minerva sits on her very evil looking dark throne in her throne room.. She has a crystal ball floating slightly above her lap area.. Also, her spy fairy has returned to report on her findings regarding the deadinite crystal.. She sadly reports.
Makozi-My Queen. I found no sign of the deadinite crystal and as I was leaving.. The earth returned to its normal state.
The Queen becomes outraged.
Queen Minerva-WHAT?! This could only mean one thing.. The humans have destroyed the deadinite crystal!
Makozi-I am sorry.
The Queen's attitude changes just a little bit.
Queen Minerva-Ha! My foolish niece Andromeda's crystal was destroyed.. Who cares.. I'll launch another idea to steal the earth's energy!
She waves her hands over her floating crystal ball.. It reveals a picture of the earth looking quite healthy.. She says with disgust.
Queen Minerva-All of that precious energy.. Going to waste on life forms that don't appreciate its potential.. Well that will stop as of now!
An image of the five teens, Kyle, Valerie, Chris, Bianca and Grant appear.. They are still talking with each other.. The Queen examines them quite closely.
Queen Minerva-Hmmm.. Perhaps my crystal ball is trying to tell me something about those five..
Makozi-Those teens were the ones who were captured by Princess Andromeda. Apparently they were released for some reason.
Queen Minerva-I know she had them to experiment on! There's something more my crystal ball is trying to say..
Makozi-What is your command?
Queen Minerva looks deeply into the image and senses a strange yet compelling power. She says.
Queen Minerva-No orders just yet. I want to study them more.
Makozi-Yes, Queen Minerva.
The fairy disappears.. And the Queen hears a female voice lurking out of the shadows.
Shyantis-My Queen.
She knows who it is.. And so she says.
Queen Minerva-Ah Shyantis.. Come, stand before me.
An over grown green praying mantis with a shiny metallic outer skin and ten arms comes walking out of the dark shadow.. She bows before the Queen.. The raises herself up again. The Queen speaks.
Queen Minerva-I haven't seen you for some time now.. Where have you been?
Shyantis-Out.. Scanning planets for core energy. So that our race may ravish have a chance to survive.
Queen Minerva-That chance has already shown itself. I'm taking the earth very soon.
Shyantis-What of the earth's protectors?
Queen Minerva-They will be dealt with.
Shyantis-Yes.
Shyantis leaves after respectfully bowing.. Meanwhile back into the past land of cawdor.. The two beasts known as Dragonlord and Bulldemon are still unbelievably arguing with each other.. The Red Ranger is still having a difficult time trying to think of a way to free his friends from inside of the mirrors.
Speaking of mirrors, everyone who is inside isn't looking well at all.. Their mirror selves have totally made them feel rotten inside, therefore they feel weak minded and almost subdued.
