Chapter Fifteen
Casey, Lily, Theo, Dominic, Ryo, Rekino, Rowen, Mia, Sage, Hana, Cye, Amaya, Kento, Josephine, James, Jarrod and Camille approached the mountainside where they came face to face with Jillian.
"So you rangers decide to show yourselves?" Jillian asked.
"Jillian listen," Casey pleaded, "we are here to help you."
"Man, is that all you ever do? Talk?" Jillian rolled her head backwards, "Let's have some action here."
She unleashed her panther spirit which knocked everyone down to the ground, "Now what's it going to be?"
"She really means what she says!" Dominic looked up.
"We have no choice!" Jarrod exclaimed, "we have to fight!"
"Jarrod's right!" Camille added, "maybe we can do something that can get through to her."
"Rinshi!" Jillian called for back up, "deal with those in the armor! I want to take on the Power Rangers!"
The Rinshi appeared and the Ronin Warriors and Lady Ronin Guardians prepared for battle as did the rangers, Jarrod and Camille in saving Jillian.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Kimberly looked on as she found the area where the rangers and warriors were fighting. She tensed up as her daughter was fighting a bunch of rangers, she assumed Jillian met them just before she had become this evil Pink Ranger, and wondered what would be the outcome of this battle as she watched from a safe distance.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Geneva glanced at Nathan and Keith as they were at their location, downstairs leading to the loft, where the wolf ranger would be at.
"It's going to be too easy," Nathan grinned with determination, "the Wolf Ranger is weak from the loss of his wolf spirit as well as the mass energy drainage that he is dealing with."
"But the masters," Geneva asked, "What about them? There's no way they'll leave RJ unattended."
"We have to deal with them, obviously! I know how well skilled those Pai Zhua Masters are!" Nathan replied.
"Well, we have no time to waste!" Keith told his team mates, "Let's go!"
The slowly walked up the stairs and got into their Python, Griffin and Dragon Armors.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Twyla and Master Swoop were on watch while Master Finn was majorly watching over RJ, who was still out cold on his chair.
Flit had just entered the main entrance of the loft after spotting the three warriors and shouted to the group, "We got intruders!"
Geneva grabbed Flit by the collar, "Why you little snitch!"
Twyla and the masters were startled by the call and hurried downstairs to see Nathan, Geneva and Keith ready for action just after the Python Warrior knocked Flit down to the ground.
"We had a feeling you two would show up!" Master Finn looked over the three warriors.
"We aren't going to stay long," Geneva grinned, "we are just here to finish off the Wolf Ranger."
"So just stay out of our way and we'll leave in a jiffy!" Keith snided.
"That's not going to happen!" Master Finn objected immediately as he took a step forward.
"You'll have to deal with us!" Twyla replied, preparing to help the master protect his son.
"We just knew that you'd say that." Keith rolled his eyes.
"I guess that we're going to fight you the hard way." Geneva prepared to fight the masters. The boys followed seconds later.
Master Finn got out his duel swords, Master Swoop got out his fans and Twyla readied herself for a fight as they prepared for a tense fight.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
The rangers and warriors came face to face with Jillian as they were ready to fight.
"With the Strength of a Tiger, Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"
"With the Stealth of a Jaguar, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger!"
"With the Speed of a Cheetah, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!"
"With the Power of a Rhino, Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger!"
"With the Spirit of the Mighty Lion! Jungle Fury Lion Warrior!"
"With the Cunning of a Chameleon! Jungle Fury Chameleon Warrior!"
Jillian and the heroes began their fight against the rangers.
"Calling on the animal spirit," Jillian called for animal spirit, "BRING OUT THE PANTHER!"
Her Panther spirit knocked down everyone to the ground.
"Too bad we don't have our animal spirits!" Theo sighed frustrated.
"But Jarrod and I still do." Camille replied. The two warriors leaped back up to fight the Pink Ranger.
"You have to stop this, Jillian!" Jarrod pleaded, "You don't know what you're doing!"
"Of course I know what I am doing," Jillian replied, "I am destroying all of you at once for the honor of the Dark Elite!"
"Unleash the spirit!" Camille called, "Free the Chameleon!"
Her green chameleon spirit knocked down Jillian, only for her to quickly leap back to her feet.
"My turn!" Jarrod glanced at his target, "Spirit of the Mighty Lion!"
His black lion spirit knocked down Jillian, causing her to land at the bottom of a hill.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
"Let's teach these Rinshi a lesson they'll never forget!" Rekino exclaimed.
"Sounds like a plan, sis!" Ryo replied.
"Exactly what I had in mind," James nodded in agreement before launching an attack at the Rinshi, "Power Sword Strike!"
His attack took out the Rinshi he was facing.
"Flare Up Now!"
"Tornado Fire Flare!"
The attacks of Ryo and Rekino took out their Rinshi opponents with success.
"Too easy," Rekino quipped.
"Thunder Bolt Cut!"
"Sunspot Fury!"
The attacks coming from the Halo duo took out their Rinshi opponents with ease.
"We took care of one hurdle," Hana stated.
"I have a feeling this is just the beginning," Sage replied.
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Deep Fathom Sphere!"
The attacks from Cye and Amaya took out their Rinshi opponents, leaving them all washed up and the Torrent duo with a victory.
"That should do it," Cye stated.
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Iron Stone Kinesis!"
The attacks coming from Kento and Josephine took out their Rinshi opponents.
"Yes!" Kento exclaimed with satisfaction.
"The Dark Elite doesn't stand a chance with us!" Josephine added.
"Arrow Shock Wave!"
"Eight Way Storm!"
Rowen and Mia managed to take out the last of the Rinshi, and taking out their opponents in the process.
"What now?" Rekino asked.
"We wait on the rangers," James answered, "if they need us for back up, they'll let us know."
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
"We may not have our spirits right now," Dominic said, "but you three can still use your weapons."
"Dominic's right!" Casey exclaimed.
"And we still have the spirits of the Gorilla, Penguin and Antelope!" Lily added.
"Jungle Master Mode!"
"Jungle Mace!" Lily got out her weapon and fought against Jillian.
"Chameleon Sais!" Camille got out her weapons to help Lily fight against Jillian. The two fought a hard fight which ended with Jillian knocking down the yellow ranger.
"Time to unleash the Jungle Fans!" Theo exclaimed as he got out his weapon and helped Camille fight against Jillian. After the two gave the pink ranger several strong blows, Jillian ultimately gave them both a strong blow and knocked them both to the ground, causing Camille to power down.
"Shark Sabers!" Casey got out his dual swords, preparing for his fight against Jillian.
"Lion Staff!" Jarrod got out his weapon to help Casey fight against the Pink Ranger. The two gave the pink ranger a hefty challenge but Jillian ended up knocking them both down to the ground after she blasted them with her ray gun, which caused Jarrod to power down.
"Now I will finish you all off once and for all!" Jillian exclaimed. She started with the red ranger as her first target, "And you will be the next to fall, following the Wolf Ranger!"
Casey managed to use his swords to block the blast that was aiming for him which reflected and instead hit the pink diamond next to her ray gun, which ended shattering to pieces.
"No!" Jade screamed as five blasts of energy leave her body. Red energy returned to Casey's body as the other rangers met up with their leader. Yellow energy returned to Lily's body. Blue energy returned to Theo's body. White energy returned to Dominic's body.
"It worked!" Camille exclaimed.
"They got their animal spirits back!" Jarrod added.
"It seems you guys are back in action!" James stated as he, the Ronins and Guardians arrived at the area.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Kartras was furious seeing that the pink ranger was defeated and the diamond was destroyed, "Curses! I can't believe this! I lost all the animal spir..."
She stopped when she noticed that a purple glow was still in her gem, "Ah! Correction. I have lost all the animal spirits from the Power Rangers, except for one. The massive drainage from the wolf master's previous battle worked to our advantage, even though the Dragon Warrior didn't destroy the him. That can still be useful to the Dynasty's advantage."
She looked at her gem and grinned, "I just knew that my lovely gem would come in handy somehow with keeping animal spirits."
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Kimberly looked on in relief as she saw the rangers break the evil control that her daughter was placed under. She got out her phone and made a phone call, "Tommy? Yes. The rangers freed Jillian from the evil's control. Of course, I can't wait to see you and the others. Love you too. Bye."
Kimberly sighed with relief before leaving the area to allow the rangers and their allies to celebrate.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
The rangers looked as Jillian powered down. The four rangers, two warriors, six Ronins and five guardians grouped up looking at her.
"Let's power down," Casey told the others.
"Right!" Lily, Theo and Dominic replied in unison. The four powered down, as they looked over at Jarrod and Camille.
"Man!" Jillian shouted, "What happened?! I feel dizzy!"
"It's okay," Dominic said, "you're no longer under Kartras' control."
"What have I done?" Jillian asked.
"What you did, it was under the influence of Kartras," Ryo answered.
"You'll be able to make amends to the rangers in no time," James assured her.
"You have control of the Pink Panther Ranger Power now," Lily added.
"And we're going to need your help against the Dark Elite." Theo said. Jarrod and Camille each nodded in agreement.
"Even with the Ronin Warriors and Lady Ronin Guardians involved," Mia added, "we will definitely need your help."
Jillian sighed before she noticed that RJ was not with them, "RJ. Wait. Where's RJ?!"
The others glanced around and realized what they needed to do next.
"We have to get back to JKP, now!" Jarrod exclaimed.
The group hurried over to the pizzeria where Twyla and the masters were fighting Nathan, Geneva and Keith, who were trying to stop the Dark Elite warriors from finishing off RJ.
Suddenly, RJ woke up and slowly risen up from his chair, not knowing what was going on. He looked down the loft to see the masters fighting the two evil warriors.
"They may need my help." RJ said to himself. He hurried down from the loft. Keith got out his blade and teleported over to the loft, where the wolf ranger was about to depart.
Suddenly, Casey, Lily, Theo, Dominic, Jillian, James, the Ronins, Guardians, Jarrod and Camille hurried at the pizzeria to find RJ. The masters managed to knock down Geneva and Nathan, with Twyla giving the former a rough defeat and the masters defeating the latter, causing them to power down and teleport to where Keith was and they met up with the seven to find that RJ was dealing with the Dark Elite Warriors.
"We got our animal spirits back!" Casey called to RJ, "use your wolf spirit on them!"
RJ was a bit surprised, but he nodded and posed, prepared to unleash his wolf spirit, "Spirit of the Wolf!"
To everyone's surprise, nothing happened.
"Spirit of the Wolf!"
Again, nothing happened.
"What's wrong, wolfie?" Geneva chided, "wolf spirit not responding to your call?"
RJ looked down in disbelief, "What?"
"How is this even possible?!" Dominic exclaimed, "Casey, Theo, Lily and I have our animal spirits back, but not RJ?"
"This must mean only one thing," Keith exclaimed, "we still have his wolf spirit in our position!"
"What?!" Theo exclaimed.
"No way!" Casey added.
"No!" Lily cried. Jillian gasped and lightly whispered, "What have I done?!"
"What did you do his wolf spirit?" Master Finn demanded, looking at the three warriors.
"It wasn't much of what we did." Geneva grinned.
"Before our battle against you guys Kartras set up her gem the Gem of Power," Keith revealed, "which allowed our mistress to keep one of the animal spirits, the one who I fought at the arena previously, the wolf, which is Kartras' animal spirit now. She will be most pleased, especially after the Wolf Ranger is finished."
"No!" Jade cried, "Give him his spirit back!"
RJ appeared dazed and confused, "Jillian?!"
Nathan glanced over at the pink ranger, "And you! You side with them now?!"
"Yes." Jillian answered, "and proud to do so!"
Geneva hissed, "Traitor!"
Keith growled in anger, "You'll all pay for this!"
"Not a chance!" Master Finn stepped forward before lunging in at Keith with anger and pining him to the wall, "tell us where my son's wolf spirit is now!"
"Not a chance, old man. SPIRIT OF THE DRAGON!" Keith used his dragon spirit to knock down the shark master before regrouping with his team mates.
RJ posed, preparing to defend himself from the two warriors, despite not having his wolf spirit.
"Spirit of the Blazing Dragon!"
"Spirit of the Mighty Griffin!"
"And Spirit of the Venomous Python!"
Jillian yelled in horror, "RJ, NO!"
RJ ended up getting hit by both animal spirits and ended up falling down the stairs, landing on the floor and hitting his head.
"Oh no!" Lily cried in horror, covering her mouth in horror.
"RJ!" Casey exclaimed.
"You're going to pay for that!" Theo glanced at the two warriors in anger as the rangers, Ronins, Guardians, and Master Swoop prepared to fight back against them.
"How Foolish you rangers are! Don't you see you can't stop us now you're down a ranger?" Nathan smirked.
"We can still take you on!" Dominic barked.
"Don't forget they have their animal spirits back, unlike RJ." Geneva reminded her cousin.
"Oh yeah." Keith muttered before looking at the rangers, "You may have outmatched us now, but rest assured, we're not going to return RJ's spirit, and also, we will come back and defeat all of you! Even you, Pink Ranger!"
The three warriors both vanished into black mist. Master Finn got up and knelt next to his injured son, "We need to get help, and fast."
Casey ended up calling for an ambulance and told them the address to Jungle Karma Pizza.
"It's all my fault." Jillian said in remorse as she looked down at the unconscious wolf ranger.
