Before we being this short chapter:
I cannot apologize enough to you readers and Justimtaylor for taking so long to update this story, while others have been getting attention. My work schedule has been tripled due to one member being out of Canada and another quitting during the Thanksgiving Weekend, plus my duties as assistant manager for my department.
This was supposed to be a one-shot, but the aforementioned work kept me from finshing it, plus I'd like my co-author's thoughts on how it should go.
I will work towards making sure this doesn't happen again; hopefully I can update every Friday starting this week.
With that said, enjoy part one of the Halloween Special…
And HAPPY HALLOWEEN YOURSELVES!
"We can never have one date night, can we?"
Peter Parker knew he should've expected this: The accursed Parker luck had been down for a while, so of course it would come back with a vengeance. And on such a night as well.
So, here he was, plummeting from a high-rise after being punched out a window. Now, normally, he'd web-sling back in no problem, but he had exhausted his web-shooters and, thinking tonight would be a nice, quiet night between him and Trini (and the 'little monsters'), not brought back-ups.
He wasn't cooked yet, though: He still had his pseudo wings! Just hopefully enoygh time to hit an updraft….
"ROAR!"
A familiar sound filled the superhero's ears and he suddenly…
WHAM!
"OW!"
He suddenly hit something very solid and very hard. Despite knowing what it was already, he opened his eyes to see he had landed on the Sabertoothed Tigerzord
"Hey Tiger."
"Leave the nickname to me, sweetie." Trini cooed halfheartedly.
"HI PETER!" Two little boys waved from inside the cockpit.
"THIS IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR!" The kids heard Alpha shout over the Comm-links.
"This whole night is irregular!" Peter reminded the robot as the Zord leapt upwards, giving him the momentum he needed to leap upwards and fly back inside the building.
"Okay, where's the Gent who can get bent?!" Spidey demanded, only to narrowly dodge several lasers that obliterated what they touched.
The 'Gent' in question was a man wearing chainmail armor, yellow gauntlets and spiked boots while riding what looked like a broom. What stood out most about him, however, was that his head seemed to be a flaming Jack O Lantern.
"Ask and you shall receive!" the mysterious man smirked, tossing a small pumpkin at our web-slinging hero. Spider-Man dodged it, allowing the pumpkin to explode and let out a scream of pain.
"Are the screams necessary?" Spidery asked.
"Yes!" The supervillain beamed. "Jack-O-Lantern pays heed to one thing and one thing only: Money. And somebody's put a big reward on your head."
"Well, I hope they paid you extra for interference!"
The Yellow Ranger suddenly burst into the room, kicking Jack away and landed beside Spiderman as she drew her blades.
The supervillain smirked
"As a matter of fact…They did!"

At the same time, in Angel Grove
"…Are we really doing this?" Zack asked, a groan clear in his tone.
"Zordon says it's the only way…" Billy said, although his tone showed he didn't want to do this either.
"Trini is so lucky to be with Petey right now." Kimberly groaned.
"Lets just get this over with." Tommy groaned.
"And no matter what…" Jason added. "We NEVER. Speak. Of this. Again."
Clearing their throats, the rangers began to do what needed to be done
"Trick or treat!" Kimberly bgean
"You're incomplete!" Billy followed
"To the Power Rangers? You can't beat." Jason followed
"All you are…" Tommy continued
"Is but a pumpkin meat!"
….
….
"…What?"
The pumpkin suddenly began to movie and roll away, before a light overtook it and it changed into a skinny orange monster…with an upside down, frowning pumpkin head.
"OOOOOOOOOH! You Rangers make me mad! Waking me up with a rap that bad!"
The Rangers grimaced under their masks.
In Space
Zed himself grimaced under his helmet.
"Why him!? Why couldn't it have been the Master? Or an Org? Heck, I'd take that Oni General with his drinking problem! But nooooo, it had to be THAT nitwit!"
For the first time in a bit, Quieten Beck let out a sight of relief and laughed at his master's misfortune.
Back on earth
"ALPHA, NOW!" Tommy declared
SM-PR
Confused, I wager?
Lets go back a few hours…..
To be concluded Next chapter!
