Episode 544: Tales of Gabriel: Magnus of Magna

February 2028

In Harwood County, many Rangers attend the wedding of Troy Burrows and Emma Goodall. Orion is Troy's best man, Gia is Emma's maid of honor, and Gabriel officiates.

During the reception, Troy is dancing with Emma as Jake, Noah, Gia, and Orion eat and talk.

"They look so happy" said Gia

"Yeah" said Jake "so, Noah, do you have some secret girl that you're going to get married to soon?"

"No" said Noah "I've never felt any desire to be with a woman, I don't think I'm going to get married"

"That's very wise of you" said Gabriel as he approaches

"What do you mean?" Jake asked

"While there's certainly nothing wrong about getting married" said Gabriel "there will be no marriages in the resurrection. Look at Joel and Angela, they were married when they were first on Earth, but in Heaven and even now back on Earth, they are no longer married. But now they have something better than marriage"

"What's that?" Gia asked

"You'll find out one day" said Gabriel "now, would you like to hear another story?"

"Sure!" said Noah

"We will pick up where we left off" said Gabriel "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were forging the Lights of God. And none too soon, as a demon had possessed a young man. And that demon's name was Zedd…"

On Onyx, a young man allows the demon Zedd to possess him

"Now" said Zedd "this planet will be ours. My subordinates will start a casino, a black market, and perhaps even a brothel…"

"Hold it right there, Zedd" said Michael

"That's Lord Zedd to you, Michael" said Zedd "now I don't have time to deal with you…" and he summons a monster and teleports away

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" said Michael

"LION!" said Jonas

"FIREBIRD!" said Deborah

"UNICORN!" said Seth

"GRIFFIN!" said Miriam

"RED DRAGONZORD!" said Michael

"Transdaggers!" said Michael and they fight the monster, slowly weakening it

Meanwhile, in Heaven, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit take a break

"We're not going to finish forging the Lights in time" said the Son

"I know" said the Father "but we should be able to make something to help the Rangers"

"You mean?" the Son asked

"It's time" said the Father "Gabriel, go to the planet Magna and find a man named Magnus and give him this" and a box appears in Gabriel's hands. Gabriel opens it

"These look just like theirs" said Gabriel

"They're similar" said the Son "now go!"

On Magna, one of Finster's monsters attacks. A lone man tries to stop it, but fails. All of a sudden, a blast of white light hits the monster, knocking it out and Gabriel appears

"Who are you?" the man asked

"Do not be afraid" said Gabriel "I am the angel Gabriel. Your courage in fighting the monster has impressed the Lord and so He has asked me to give you this gift, Magnus" and he hands Magnus the box and he opens it

"How do I use them?" Magnus asked

"Put them on your wrists" said Gabriel "and you'll know" and as he straps them on, the monster gets up

"MAGNA POWER!" said Magnus "MAGNA DEFENDER! Magna Sword!" and he fights the monster. He energizes his sword and strikes the monster, destroying it

"Very good" said Gabriel "now, the other Rangers needs your help on Onyx" and they teleport away

On Onyx, the monster strikes the Rangers and send them flying as Gabriel and Magnus appear

"Gabriel" said Michael "you brought backup?"

"The Lord sent him" said Gabriel and he stands back

"Quasar Sabers!" said Michael

"Magna Sword!" said Magnus and together, the six Rangers strike the monster and it explodes. All of a sudden, a torpedo hits the Earth and the monster grows large

"GALACTABEASTS ARISE!" said Michael

"TOROZORD CHARGE!" said Magnus and the Galactabeasts and Torozord appear through portals

"LION GALACTABEAST!" said Michael

"GORILLA GALACTABEAST!" said Seth

"CONDOR GALACTABEAST!" said Jonas

"WOLF GALACTABEAST!" said Miriam

"WILDCAT GALACTABEAST!" said Deborah

"ZORD TRANSFORM NOW!" said Michael "LION GALACTAZORD!"

"GORILLA GALACTAZORD!" said Seth

"CONDOR GALACTAZORD!" said Jonas

"WOLF GALACTAZORD!" said Miriam

"WILDCAT GALACTAZORD!" said Deborah

"MEGA DEFENDER!" said Magnus and the Galactabeasts and Mega Defender fight the monster, but can't beat it

"GALAXY MEGAZORD: ONLINE!" said Michael

"DEFENDER TOROZORD!" said Magnus

"Galaxy Megazord: Saber!" said Michael

"Defender Lance!" said Magnus and the Megazords fought the monster

"CONDOR MISSILE: ONLINE! FIRE!" said Michael

"LANCE!" said Magnus and the attacks destroyed the monster

On the ground, Gabriel waves his hand and everyone teleports away

In Heaven, the Rangers appear demorphed

"Well, done Rangers" said the Son "Magnus you have done well in your first battle"

"Thank you" said Magnus

"Magnus will serve as your sixth Ranger" said the Son "but his primary mission will be to protect Magna. We have spread you Rangers too thin. It is not time to raise up Ranger teams like we will one day, but we will add a bit of help now and then across the universe so you can focus on the more powerful monsters. Now we must get back to forging the Lights of God"

On Onyx, Rita Repulsa appears with Goldar and Finster

"This is where the person who destroyed my monster went, my queen" said Finster

"That's funny" said a voice "this is where my monster was destroyed too. I'm Lord Zedd"

"Lord Zedd" said Rita, mockingly "think a lot of yourself, don't you?"

"I'm certainly better than you" said Zedd

"Is that so?" Rita asked as she charges up her staff

"ENOUGH!" said a voice as Master Vile appears "Zedd is your better Rita, you'd do well to remember it, now apologize to him"

"No" said Rita

"You will apologize to him" said Vile as he charges his staff "we have enough trouble with the angels, we don't need demons going at each other's throats"

"I'm… sorry" said Rita as she fumed, for the first time wondering if her deal with Repulsa was worth it, she made the deal so she wouldn't be bullied but all she's done is replaced her old bullies with much more powerful ones…

"And so Rita and Zedd began sending monster after monster, each trying to one up each other" said Gabriel "and the Great War began to heat up, but that is for another time" and he leaves as Troy and Emma come up

"How are you two?" Gia asked

"We're getting ready to leave" said Troy "we're going to take the Skyship on our own honeymoon"

"Have fun!" said Jake
