Note: Okay, now we're picking up in violence and destruction again, so consider yourself warned there! We're finally starting to approach the endgame now!
The massive, muscular titans Katherine and Tanya were still lounging on the beach while their remaining tiny foot slaves- the ones not killed or maimed by them inadvertently, that is- were nervously awaiting their dismissal, which was currently being discussed by the two girls.
"I GUESS WE HOLD UP OUR END OF THE DEAL AND LET THE REST OF THEM GO THEN?" Kat had just said, and Tanya laughed when she heard just how disappointed her best friend sounded at the thought.
"YEAH, LET'S KEEP OUR END OF THE BARGIN." said Tanya, pushing to let the little ant-like people go as they had originally promised. "BEING EVIL DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN BEING A JERK!"
Kat laughed at her friend's very odd-sounding statement.
"YOU'RE A VERY WEIRD BAD GUY HONEY. GOOD THING YOU'RE SO HOT." she added as she lightly caressed Tanya's cheek. "OKAY FINE BUG PEOPLE, I GU-WHOA! WHAT IS THAT?!"
Just as she was about to finally tell the beachgoers they were free to go, Katherine had been cut off as she and Tanya were each zapped again by Lord Zedd's lightning. Both moaned in sheer unadulterated pleasure as it once again felt like their entire bodies were supercharged, as if their individual cells were pulsating with pure energy. Which, to be fair, they kind of were!
"OHHHH. THIS AGAIN?" Tanya moaned sexily. "ZE-ZEDD ZAPPED US AGAIN?"
"SE-SEEMS LIKE IT." Kat said with her eyes closed, barely able to get it out in between deep breaths of pure pleasure. Both titanic teenagers were feeling completely overwhelmed, as Zedd's evil energy felt like it was almost caressing their massive forms. They purred in delight as their gigantic bodies absorbed even more dark power.
The people below just watched this strange scene (that many of them thought bordered on being pornographic), then gasped in a mixture of shock and horror as the two giants started to swell even larger! Both girls gained a minor amount of additional muscle mass, especially in their arms and thighs, but they also just grew even bigger as well! The citizens realized suddenly that each of their two massive feet right in front of them were digging further and further into the sand, rising higher and coming toward them. They screamed and tried to duck for cover, with a few unlucky ones right near the front finding themselves pressed right into the girls' expanding feet. They survived it, only because the sand below helped cushion the impact, but it was still quite painful.
The two girls felt their transformation sequence wearing off, that incredible energy charged feeling starting to dissipate.
"WH-WHOA." Tanya said as she tried to open her eyes and kept blinking. She felt really good but also weird, in a way she couldn't quite put her finger on yet.
"YEAH." Kat agreed, holding her forehead as she tried to catch her bearings. She felt really dizzy.
"WE GOT EVEN BIGGER I THINK?!" Tanya said in amazement as she looked down.
Kat looked down at their feet and realized it was true- it wasn't a HUGE difference, but the tiny ant-sized people now looked even smaller next to their gigantic feet. They had both grown about 10% bigger, making them well over 550-feet-tall at this point.
"AND WE BOTH HAVE THIGHS LIKE CHUN LI NOW." Kat said as she looked at hers and Tanya's even more massive thighs. "ARMS ARE A LITTLE BIGGER TOO I THINK." she added as she flexed them a little.
"WOW, THAT'S HOT." said Tanya. But just as she had been complimenting her best friend's even more well-developed upper body, she looked down at the bug-sized people still gathered down by her absurdly ginormous black feet, quite literally cowering in fear. Seeing the sight of these terrified ants made her suddenly feel like her blood was on fire. They're DISGUSTING. the young titaness thought to herself. I was trying to PROTECT these people from Kat? Why?!
"KAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING?" Tanya asked her fellow titan.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Kat replied, still trying to focus her eyes after the very disorienting second transformation. I wonder why this felt even weirder than the first time. Kat thought to herself. Does Zedd even know what he's doing to us?!
Not wanting to tip the little people off and alarm them, Tanya tried to subtly jerk her head and gesture toward the ant-sized foot slaves. As Kat looked down at them too, she also felt a rising sense of disgust from deep within her. Look at them! They're like a pathetic infestation! she thought to herself. Why would we EVER even THINK of sparing such disgusting little things?!
Kat suddenly knew just what her best friend was getting at. She gave Tanya the slightest of nods, also trying not to alert the cowering little bugs. The two massive giants each raised one of their hands, and before anyone down below could even do anything, they slammed them down toward the beach with frightening speed. Most of the people cowering there and waiting for their promised release were killed instantly. Kat noticed a few stragglers that survived through the gaps between her fingers and started smiting them with those very same fingers as they tried to run, which Tanya quickly copied. Moments later, the entire nearly four dozen of remaining foot slaves had been slaughtered by the two titanic teenagers, who were still just sneering downward.
"DAMN, THAT FELT GOOD." Tanya said, filled with an evil sense of pride at her handiwork (no pun intended!). "I FEEL LIKE I NEED A CIGARETTE, AND I DON'T EVEN SMOKE!"
"HEY, TANYA." said Kat as she just remembered something.
"YEAH?" she smiled.
"WEREN'T YOU JUST TELLING ME WE SHOULD LET ALL THOSE PEOPLE GO LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO?"
Tanya blinked, her evil smile quickly turning into a look of confusion.
"YOU'RE RIGHT!" she exclaimed as she remembered the exact conversation.
"SO, UH, WHAT HAPPENED?" a confused, yet also amused Kat wondered.
"I DON'T KNOW." Tanya admitted sheepishly. "I JUST KINDA...I LOOKED AT THEM, AND THEY JUST LOOKED SO PATHETIC DOWN THERE BY OUR GIANT FEET, AND I GOT THIS FEELING LIKE I REALLY WANTED TO CRUSH THEM. THEY, LIKE, DISGUSTED ME ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WONDER WHY?"
"LOOK, I DON'T CARE, THEY DID A HORRIBLE JOB ON OUR FEET ANYWAY." Katherine laughed. "IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING ONE-EIGHTY IS AL-OH!" Kat exclaimed suddenly, interrupting herself. "I THINK I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!"
"WHAT?"
"IT WAS ZEDD." said Kat, shaking her head with a slight smile. "THAT WILY OLD RED BASTARD. HE GOT TIRED OF US JUST SITTING AROUND DOWN HERE GOOFING OFF. THAT'S WHY HE ZAPPED US WITH HIS EVIL MONSTER ENERGY A SECOND TIME. HE KNEW IT WOULD MAKE US, UH, EVEN MORE BAD."
"SO ARE WE, LIKE, UNDER HIS CONTROL NOW?"
"DO YOU FEEL UNDER HIS CONTROL SILLY?" Kat laughed. "HE CAN STICK HIS SCEPTER UP HIS ARSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. BUT I DO THINK THAT SECOND DOSE OF EVIL ENERGY HAS MADE US MORE, LIKE, AGGRESSIVE OR SOMETHING."
"OHHH." Tanya nodded, finally starting to get it. "I THINK I UNDERSTAND. SEEING THOSE PEOPLE LOOK SO SMALL AND WEAK, IT ACTUALLY KIND OF PISSED ME OFF. THAT'S THE MONSTER IN ME TALKING NOW I GUESS."
Kat nodded. "WHEN YOU'RE EVIL AND SUPER POWERFUL I GUESS WEAKLINGS JUST START TO DISGUST YOU."
"THAT EVIL ENERGY MADE US EVEN BIGGER TOO, DON'T FORGET!"
"YEAH, SO EVERYONE LOOKS EVEN WEAKER TO US." Kat said with a laugh. "SOUNDS LIKE A REAL PROBLEM FOR THEM!"
"RIGHT NOW I KINDA FEEL LIKE...CRUSHING SOME MORE." Tanya said with a slight blush, as if she were embarrassed to admit it. "IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE THING TO DO, YOU KNOW?"
"THAT'S THAT EVIL MONSTER AGGRESSION." Kat smiled. I think it might actually be affecting her even more than it's affecting me. she thought to herself. Maybe because I was already all set to trample on these pathetic insects regardless. But I still feel it- this constant urge for destruction, on a whole different level. I think I finally get why so many of those monsters we fought were always blowing stuff up!
"LET'S GO BACK TO DOWNTOWN ANGEL GROVE!" said Tanya excitedly. She was practically dying to crush some little people and buildings at this point, unable to even think about why it might be wrong anymore.
"NOW THAT YOU'RE AN EVEN MORE BIGFOOT YOU WANNA STEP ON SOME BUILDINGS TOO, EH?" Kat said as she elbowed her friend slightly.
"CUT IT OUT!" Tanya said with a huge smirk. "I JUST...I HAVE THIS FIRE INSIDE ME NOW. THESE STUPID LITTLE PEOPLE ARE ALL SO, SO PATHETIC. I'M READY TO DO SOME MAJOR LEAGUE DESTRUCTION!"
"YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE PARK INSTEAD." Kat suddenly suggested with a huge grin.
"HUH? THE PARK?"
"YEAH! THERE'S ALL THOSE LITTLE HOUSES OVER THERE, RIGHT? I ALREADY CRUSHED A BIG BUILDING- I WANNA FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO CRUSH PEOPLE'S HOMES!" Kat said excitedly.
Tanya too could hardly contain her excitement at her best friend's very evil suggestion. "LET'S DO IT!" the giant said with a small whoop, literally pumping her fist.
The two titanic teenagers closed their eyes, concentrated, and then teleported away.
"Man! They just got even BIGGER!" Rocky complained as he watched them from the screen back at the Power Chamber. "I mean, not by much, but still! When will this ever END?!"
"And we're still stuck here." Adam muttered, referring of course to the force field Kat & Tanya had placed over the Chamber to trap them there.
"I've never seen a force field like this before." Billy admitted. "Katherine and Tanya might actually be the most powerful monsters ever created now, perhaps by a factor of ten or more."
"Well, yeah, they're real big, we know." said Rocky dismissively.
"I don't just mean their gargantuan size." Billy quickly clarified, a hint of annoyance in his voice at Rocky's quick dismissal. "I think somehow Zedd's evil energy has mixed with their connection to the Morphing Grid to create something we've truly never seen before."
"That theory makes a great deal of sense to me, Billy." Zordon agreed.
"Lord Zedd and Rita had never successfully created a monster tied to the Morphing Grid before." Alpha-5 added. "This is unprecedented!"
"I'm sure they've always wanted to try it, but I'd imagine our powers would have protected us in the past, right?" Billy wondered.
"Also correct, Billy." Zordon nodded slightly from inside his tube. "Your powers would previously not allow you to be transformed into monsters."
"So what changed?" Adam wondered.
"It's because they accepted evil, isn't it." Tommy realized sadly. "Just like how they could be teleported out of the Power Chamber before, after they made the decision to fully turn evil."
"Indeed, Tommy." Zordon replied. "When they accepted evil fully into their hearts before Zedd & Rita grew them the second time, they also rejected the mystical protection that all of you always receive as Rangers. Those powers come from a place of good, and they were no longer good themselves. That finally gave the evil space aliens the opening they needed to turn them into monsters."
"But they were still connected to the Morphing Grid." Billy said. "And then you had their gargantuan size to the equation, which already made them extremely powerful even before their transformation into monsters."
"Right, they were already over 500 feet tall before Zedd even zapped them the first time." Rocky said, his eyes going wide as he began to fully appreciate what the others were saying. "Plus the Morphing Grid thing. So you add that all up and you get the strongest monsters ever created."
"The really scary thing is, if my theory is right, they may have only scratched the surface of their true power." said a solemn Billy. "And that was BEFORE that fool Zedd just zapped them a second time. So who even knows what their actual power level is now."
"Either way, it would explain why we're having such a hard time breaking through their force field even with Trey here to help us." Adam added.
"I am sorry I cannot be of more assistance, Rangers of Earth." said an embarrassed Trey.
"Well, you'll be the key to everything if we ever actually DO get out of here." Rocky responded, while Tommy just looked lost in thought.
Suddenly, the Power Chamber alarms began going off.
"Aiyiyiyiyi!" Alpha exclaimed. "The girls are back in Angel Grove!"
Everyone turned to look toward the screen, where they saw the two colossal teenagers teleport into the park and cause immediate widespread panic.
"That's a residential area!" Rocky pointed out quickly, seeing the rows of suburban homes just outside of where they were now standing.
"We need the backup plan now before there's a massacre." Tommy finally spoke up. "Are they here?!"
"Power Rangers of Earth!" came another voice. The screen quickly changed to the face of Delphine, the White Aquitian Ranger. "We have arrived on your planet and are standing by to offer assistance!" she said, answering Tommy's question.
"Delphine, we're in your debt." Tommy replied. "It's going to be very dangerous but we need you to head to Angel Grove Park immediately. Katherine and Tanya just teleported there, and we're afraid they might be about to launch an attack."
"There's no need to hold back on them now that Zedd has turned them into monsters." added Billy. "Like with any other monster created by Zedd, destroying them will just return them to their original form."
"Original form as in they'll still be giants like they were when Zedd zapped them or actual normal sized humans?" Adam wondered.
"Unclear." Billy replied. "Hey, this is an unprecedented situation!" he said defensively when the Rangers looked at him annoyed. "But the point is Delphine, you can go full force against them like you would against any other monsters."
Assuming they can even do anything…. Rocky thought to himself with a shake of his head, remembering how ineffective the Super Zeo Zords' laser pistols had been against Katherine after Zedd zapped her. And like Billy said before, all that was BEFORE Zedd just gave them a SECOND dose of evil energy! Will the Alien Rangers even stand a chance against them now?!
"Affirmative." Delphine said. "We will head to the coordinates and intercept the Pink and Yellow Zeo Rangers." she said as her transmission ended.
"Yeah, good luck with that." Rocky muttered.
The others all just nodded grimly.
Once again the titanic Katherine and Tanya teleported into a new area, resulting in immediate panic at the sudden, unexplainable appearance of two 550+ foot tall teenagers. By now the girls were very used to seeing the effect they had on people when they suddenly appeared (either by teleporting there or growing in the first place), but it still hadn't really gotten old for them. They just watched the itty bitty ant people run with looks of great amusement.
Both girls also noticed at this point that their request of teleporting into Angel Grove Park had been taking quite literally by their evil monster powers, as they were standing right in the middle of the park. Their eyes scanned the area as they realized their enormous feet had already crushed a great deal of playground equipment, picnic tables, and indeed people just by teleporting in. Their clothes had also changed without them even requesting it, with both girls now wearing matching sundresses. Kat's was pink-and-black and Tanya's was yellow-and-black, and both also featured little white skulls lining the black part of the pattern.
"HEY OUR CLOTHES CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY THAT TIME!" Tanya noticed. "PRETTY CUTE TOO."
"THE SKULLS ARE OUR OFFICIAL SYMBOL NOW I GUESS." Kat noted. "THEY DO SEND A CERTAIN MESSAGE."
"YEAH, LIKE, LOOK AT ALL THE DAMAGE WE DID ALREADY!" Tanya said excitedly, gesturing down to the mess at their two giant sets of feet.
"YOU KNOW, LIKE AN HOUR AGO YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY UPSET ABOUT THAT." Kat pointed out.
"WHAT CAN I SAY? POWER CHANGES PEOPLE." Tanya said with a smile and a shrug.
"ESPECIALLY EVIL MONSTER POWER, I GUESS."
Tanya nodded in agreement. Just then, her eyes finally went to the rows of suburban houses lined up just outside the park. Just like at the beach, she felt the fiery urge for destruction build within her. God, look at their stupid little houses. Tanya thought to herself as her smile turned into a sneer. I want to apologize to every evil monster I ever fought. Frankly, I don't know how some of them even had as much self-control as they did. I just want to smash everything!
Kat realized what Tanya was staring at and smirked to herself. She was feeling the same destructive urges as Tanya was of course, but as someone who had been feeling similar urges since basically the moment she first grew (whether due to her prior evil personality reemerging or her previously undiscovered natural sadism, or more likely a combination of both), she wasn't nearly as completely overwhelmed by it at the moment as her best friend seemed to be. It was very amusing to her to see Tanya now join her as a truly evil giant monster. Welcome to the club, girl. she thought to herself.
"YOU WANNA GO FIRST?" Kat said with a grin, and Tanya nodded emphatically. Kat made an exaggerated "be my guest" motion with her hands, causing Tanya to lick her lips. She took a first massive step out of the park and toward a row of homes, causing the ground to shake heavily. She looked down at the houses in comparison to her gigantic black feet. At 550+ feet tall, each of her feet measured about 89 feet long from heel to toe. The average house was only about 40 feet wide. So when she stepped forward again, her foot covered not just the entire house at the end of the block, but went well into the yard of the next house. She could crush two houses at once. She grinned as she brought her foot down slowly.
"OH MAN HONEY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HOT THIS IS." Kat said as she watched. Wait a sec, do I have, uh, a lesbian foot fetish now? she wondered to herself as soon as those words came out of her mouth, also quickly realizing in general how preoccupied with Tanya's feet she seemed to be lately. I think I do!
Tanya smiled at Kat's encouragement. She watched as a couple people came dashing out of the two houses, and realized she had to speed this up before anyone else had time to escape. So she quickly brought her massive foot down with great force, gasping as it crashed right through the roofs of the two houses and collapsed them like they were made of paper mâché. She wasn't entirely sure but thought she may have felt her foot crush a few people still inside the two homes as well, which just sent an extra chill down her spine.
"OHHHH WOW." Tanya said, panting. "THAT WAS SO AWESOME!"
"MY TURN!" Kat said, and much to Tanya's surprise she actually took off RUNNING! Tanya watched in amazement as the over 550-foot-tall titan dashed right down a residential street, crashing through house after house. Instead of taking extra time to enjoy it, Katherine was simply obliterating homes with every step of her pounding feet in very quick fashion. Before she finally stopped, she had destroyed no less than twenty houses.
That wasn't like me. she thought to herself. I usually like to take this crushing thing slow, don't I? Maybe the evil monster aggression is affecting me more than I thought. Hmm, maybe we need to-
"OH MY GOD KAT!" Tanya yelled, her face lit up with evil glee as she surveyed the damage, interrupting Kat's thoughts. Basically an entire small neighborhood had been wiped out by her gigantic best friend in the span of mere moments, and she was amazed. "SAVE SOME FOR ME YOU BIG HOG!"
Kat just replied by sticking her tongue out at her.
Down below, all five Aquitian Rangers teleported fully morphed into the park, where the girls had been standing just moments ago. They were shocked by the devastation they saw. It looked like they had just teleported into a warzone.
"We have to stop them!" Aurico, the Red Ranger said.
"Look! They've done even more damage to those Earth dwellings!" Corcus, the Black Ranger said, pointing out into the streets at the crushed homes in horror.
"Alien Rangers of Aquitar! We must not hesitate!" Delphine, the White Ranger commanded.
"We need Shogun Zord power now!" all five commanded.
Just as Tanya was about to run over and join Kat, she turned her head at the sound of earth-shaking steps in the distance.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Tanya wondered. She had very quickly gotten used to being the REASON why the ground shook (along with Kat, of course), so feeling and hearing it shake for an unknown reason was more than a little jarring.
"LOOK!" Kat said as she pointed in the distance. Both girls spotted the five Shogun Zords making their trademark giant dash, just as the five Alien Rangers leapt up into the diamond-like cockpits on their chests.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?!" Tanya wondered in shock, of course not having been around back when the Rangers used these particular Zords.
"THE SHOGUN ZORDS." replied Kat.
"WAIT, WHERE'S THE PINK ONE?"
"THERE WAS NO PINK ONE." Kat said through gritted teeth. "I HAD TO STAND BEHIND TOMMY IN THE COCKPIT OF THE WHITE ONE LIKE HIS IDIOT SIDEKICK FOR THE ENTIRE TIME WE USED THOSE STUPID THINGS!"
Geez, no wonder why she had all those unresolved anger issues. Tanya thought to herself.
"BUT WHO'S PILOTING THEM ANYWAY?" Tanya wondered as she watched them begin to transform into the Shogun Megazord. In giant monster tradition the two of them made absolutely no move to attack during the Zords' elaborate transformation sequence, and in fact the thought to do so never even once crossed their minds. "AREN'T THE OTHER RANGERS STILL LOCKED IN THE POWER CHAMBER?"
"REMEMBER THOSE WEIRDLY NINJA-LOOKING RANGERS FROM AQUITAR? THEY SHOWED UP FOR LIKE FIVE SECONDS WHEN THAT MORON RITA ACCIDENTALLY TURNED MY PURSE INTO A MONSTER?"
"OH YEAH, THE FISH ALIENS! BILLY'S IN LOVE WITH THEIR FRIEND OR WHATEVER." Tanya said with a snicker.
"YEAH. WELL THEY CAN USE THE SHOGUN MEGAZORD TOO. WE GAVE IT TO THEM WHEN WE WERE STUCK AS KIDS, RIGHT BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG."
"GOT IT." Tanya nodded as the Megazord finally finished its elaborate transformation sequence.
"Shogun Megazord, power up!" all five Alien Rangers yelled together.
"HEY KAT?" Tanya asked.
"YEAH?"
"DO YOU WANNA JUST, LIKE...LEAVE? LIKE TELEPORT OUT I MEAN?"
Kat looked at her friend with a smirk, but couldn't actually tell if she was kidding or not.
"WAIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
"OF COURSE I'M NOT SERIOUS." Tanya snorted. "WHAT SELF-RESPECTING GIANT MONSTER TURNS DOWN THE CHANCE TO FIGHT A MEGAZORD?"
"JUST MAKING SURE." Kat smirked. "I NEED YOU ON THE SAME PAGE. IF THIS GOES HOW I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO, IT'LL PROVE WE'RE READY FOR THE REAL SHOW."
Tanya wasn't sure what her friend meant by that exactly, but nodded with a smile. I'm sure she'll fill me in later. Anyway, finally time to take on our first Megazord! she thought to herself excitedly. What a moment in our giant monster careers!
To be continued…
