The End... for now
 |
Summertime in Angel Grove. Nice. Peaceful. No monster attacks.
WHOOPS! Spoke too soon. MUCH too soon.
Quantrons & Cogs were terrorizing people on the beach, causing fear & mayhem while Astronema was working on a new monster. "First, 2 Black Rangers, now 2 Pink Rangers! This cannot continue! I must get to the bottom of this!"
"No littering! You creeps off this beach!" Tommy Oliver, the Red Lightstar Ranger, shouted, slamming a cog & a quantron together, smashing them into little pieces. The other Lightstars were doing their best to trash the rest of the footsoldiers, Zhane smirking "Had enough, you overgrown milkshake makers?"
Adam asked, "Where are Kim & Zack? We could use their help right now."
Kat told him "They're meeting Trini at the airport, and giving her a guided tour of the Megaship. They also have a theory that the other power coins were meant for the original Ranger team."
"Considering how the first 2 worked, that makes sense. And, from the files I read, Trini used to be the original Yellow Ranger." Andros spoke up.
"I hope we can wrap this up soon, I wanna meet her!" Tanya told her fellow Rangers.
Aboard the Megaship, Zack Taylor & Kimberly Hart were giving and old friend and fellow former Ranger, Trini Kwan, a tour of the place, and telling her how it felt to have their powers back. "It seems like Zordon escaped this 'Dark Spectre', and created a a new set of power coins and sent them here. Then, Zack first got his coin, then me."
"Kim & I have this theory. Zordon keyed them to our body signatures since we first used them. But if Tommy is meant to become the White Ranger again, then who'll take his place in the Lightstar Rangers?" Zack thought.
"Well, in any case, I'm sure that Zordon had a reason for doing it this way. You both like being Rangers again?" Trini asked.
"Man, there's nothing like it at all! I keep saying to myself, 'I never should have went to the Peace Conference. Here, you know you're really accomplishing something." Zack told her.
"I feel the same way about the Pan-Global Games. They were a total waste of my time, personality wise." Kim had a thought. "Wanna take a look at the coins?"
Trini thought for a second. "Why not?"
Meanwhile, aboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was smirking evilly. Finally, my new Mantis monster is ready to finish off those damn Rangers. Go, my lovely Mantis, destroy them!"
"My pleasure, Lady Astronema."
Mantis' sudden appearence caught the Rangers off guard. He threw Tommy, Adam, & Zhane into the hot dog stand ans snack area, while Kat & Andros both tried to double team him, but instead wound up in the water.
"TANYA!" Andros yelled. There's a source that nullifies our communicators! We can't contact Zack or Kimberly! Go to the Megaship, they should still be there with Trini.
"On my way!" Tanya yelled, and teleported out.
Tanya teleported to where the new set of power coins were, just as Zack, Kim, & Trini entered the room. "Guys, we need you now, some new monster that looks like a praying mantis is tossing us around like ragdolls." Tanya then noticed that the Sabretooth Tiger coin glowed a bright golden yellow when Trini was standing next to it.
Kim & Zack noticed too. "Trini, do you still have your old morpher with you?" Kimberly asked.
"Yes, of course." Quickly explaining to Tanya, Trini said "When we gave up being Rangers, Zordon let us keep our old morphers as souvenirs. None of us expected this! I think I know what's gonna happen next.
In seconds, the new coin was in Trini's morpher. "Let's do it, guys, IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"SABRETOOTH TIGER!"
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
Like Zack & Kimberly, Trini was soon in her old uniform as the Yellow Morphin Ranger. Tanya smiled at the outcome, then her mind focused back onto the beach. "We'd better hurry, guys!"
Tanya, Zack, & Kim raced over to the side of their friends, while Mantis shouted "Why are you all over there, I'm right..."
2 daggers sailed through the air like arrows, hitting their target with pinpoint accuracy. "AAAAARRRRRGGHHH! Who..." He was then smashed into the sand, then kicked in the jaw. "Who..."
Trini, as the Yellow Ranger, stood over him, smiling. "Hi there. Remember me?"
"You again? I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!"
"Trini called over to Tanya. "Wanna help me lay waste to this fishbait?"
"Sounds good to me. Hey, Mantis, eat Star Slinger!" Tanya quickly fired a blast from her weapon, hitting Mantis in the chest, while Trini gave him a roundhouse takedown kick, knocking him off his feet. This was followed by 2 punches to his gut, thrown by both Yellow Rangers. Both then went to help Zack & Kim with the others. "Hey, Tommy, how are you?" Trini asked.
"Why doesn't this suprise me anymore? Seriously, Trini, it's great to see you again, I just wish it was under better conditions, you know?" Tommy smiled.
Of course, Astronema was livid. "ANOTHER YELLOW RANGER?!? *^(+$@#) #$*&^%! FIRE THE @#$()*!^%$@ SATELLASERS!"
Mantis quickly grew to Statue of Liberty proportions. "Time to go to work, guys!" Andros shouted.
"WE NEED ASTROMEGAZORD POWER, NOW!"
"MASTADON-LION THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"PTERODACTYL-FIREBIRD THUNDERZORD POWER!"
Trini stood back, but then, a thought hit her. Thoughts quickly became words as she shouted...
"SABRETOOTH TIGER-GRIFFIN THUNDERZORD POWER!" The 3 Thunderzords appeared over the horizon. Trini leaped into her old zord, and fired a blast of flame right at the monster. Kimberly, following Trini's lead, had her Firebird go into flame mode, and aimed right at the monster, setting a good 62% of it ablaze. The Lion Thunderzord and the AstroMegaZord got together again, and trashed the monster for good.
Trini grinned "You snooze, you lose, Mantis."
Astronema? You're better off not knowing.
"You know, this is turning into a regular thing. Anyone wanna guess who's next up for this?" Adam asked.
Looking at her new yellow Galaxy Glider, and holding her digimorpher, Trini spoke "I really didn't expect this, but I'm really glad to be back. Zordon must have something big planned."
Kat agreed. "I just hope we hear from him soon."
"Maybe we could get Jason up here. Since the new coins work for Zack, Kim, & Trini, it stands to reason..." Tommy thought out loud.
"We'd better add Billy to that list. I got a message from him from Aquitar, saying he's coming home for good at the end of the week. It will be great to see him again." Trini smiled.
Zack, Kimberly, & Tommy exchanged knowing glances. Trini saw them and said "Wipe it from your minds right now!"
Tanya quickly & wisely changed the subject. Glad you're aboard, Trini. As bad as Astronema's getting, we need all the help we can get around here."
"You've got it. Thanks, it's great to be back." Trini smiled.
Soon, all 9 put their hands together and jumped into the air, shouting... POWER RANGERS!
