This ones a bit short due to DNova's timing of ending it. I'm sorry, but it should've been longer. Here it is!

[spoiler=[b]Episode 8: Dark Revelations[/b]]

March 14, 2010 ~ Angel Bay City

Dom was soon in the center of the city. His morpher glowed once and a sword appeared in his hand. Several people stared in awe. He suddenly slashed at them. Then a thick purple haze erupted out of their bodies and manifesting into the sword. He was basically stealing souls. Why was he stealing souls, I'm not sure, but it's what Loki has involved with his plan.

March 14, 2010 ~ Neo-Omega Base

Joe and Star got to the command center and approached Zedren. Sean, Kent and the others were also with them. "Let's see..." began Joe. "First, I want to know about that Jesterix thing a bit more. Second, what in the world happened with Dom? But my most pressing question is WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED WITH MY ZORD?!? Vile said it belonged to his family and started to say something about a 'bumbling' I don't know. Sounded like he was gonna mention a relative, but then he mentioned you, Zedren. I want some answers! I think I deserve them."

Zedren sat down in his chair. "I had a feeling this would eventually be revealed," Zedren began. "About 10 years ago there was a massive attack on earth from the Alliance of Evil. The only way it was stopped was by destroying the containment tube of Zordon. Most of the monsters and villains were eradicated. Some were transformed. I am one of those. I used to be Lord Zedd, terror of the universe. Master Vile is my father-in-law." "What!?!" yelled Joe in shock. "Do the others know about this. Tommy? Andros?" "Yes, they all knew. I had told Tommy when I first founded Omega." "But what about my Zord? What's the story with that?"

"Before I came to try to conquer Earth, I had done so to countless other planets," began Zedren again. "The weapon I had used was the Liopleurodon zord. I had taken control of it many years prior when I defeated Sean's father. I then used the zord and the gold ranger powers do decimate and enslave world after world. While on Aquitar, I hit a snare. And the Alien Rangers managed to temporarily slow it down, but it was no matter, since I had already used the Liopleurodon's power and design to create an equal zord of my own design. I used the Liopleurodon to create Serpentera. A battle zord unlike anything anyone had ever known. Unlike the Lio Zord, this monster could travel through space easily, but it didn't have the same core power as the Lio zord so it needed constant recharging."

"So what happened to Serpentera?" asked Joe. ""It had crashed landed on the moon and years later the remnants of the Machine empire tried to revive it ,but they didn't realize I had left the core unstable and a tiny energy blast from Cole, the Wild Force Red Ranger caused it to implode. But Vile had always wanted to control it and the Lio zord. I one day caught Vile trying to steal the Lio Zord away from me, so I went to find the Genesis Blade to control the zord and the powers fully. While on my way there I realized that Vile was trying as well, so I instead decided to come to earth. I could never let him gain control of my weapon. Thus from there I kicked out Rita Repulsa and later married her, but then turned out that she was his daughter. And well, he was still sore about the whole Liopleurodon thing, thus why he never likes me. This just goes to show you can't pick your family. When I later turned good and was asked to head Omega, we decided the Lio Zord would be a good zord to base our new zord components on. Even though it was ancient and ours were man-made, we tried our best. We figured there would be no risk of it going bad since Vile was disintegrated, but he's back and the threat is as well. He was gone for so long he must of figured that our Lio zord was just a copy,never thinking it was the original. But now he knows and we have to do something."

"Perhaps it'd be best if you all would be careful," said Star. "Without the barrier, the Lio zord is defenseless and that means your megazord is also crippled now." She didn't want to admit it, but they were pushed against a wall. "And with the appearance of Loki, that's just another problem that's going to have to be addressed." Meanwhile, Dom was tearing apart buildings with his sword, which actually had a built in chainsaw. Slowly, the city started to crumble, and Dom stood there with his sword over his shoulder, waiting for something important to happen.

"I agree," began Zedren back at the base. "We have to be really careful with the megazord now. With Dom gone, we now have no full megazord. And not to mention many of the other rangers haven't been around lately. i guess this wasn't what they signed up for. This could be dangerous." Just then the alarms sounded and they saw Dom tearing apart the city. "I thought he was dead!" exclaimed Joe. "He is, but I guess Vile and Loki can still use him to serve their purpose. Be careful. It could be a trap." "Be careful," began Star. "I can't exactly do anything without a zord, but I'm going with you." The Starlight glowed and attached itself to her wrist, folding it's wings and becoming a morpher. "Okay then. All rangers move out!" After morphing and transporting to the scene, it was clear Dominic had no sanity in him.

Dom continued to hack and slash at buildings, and occasionally cut cars or trucks in half. Inside of him, in his head, sat Dominic holding his head and staring blankly. A small, cute gold dragon hatchling hovered over him. It had short little antler prongs, still growing, and had small brown wings. It had gold scales and nudged Dominic constantly. Star made sure there was no innocent's around. She shot an arrow at Dominic, which was a little weak due to distance. It stroke his chest softly. Although, the arrow pierced deep enough to fatally kill him, but he was already dead. He pulled the arrow out, and trudged towards the rangers, dragging his sword/chainsaw in the dirt.

"Not good," said Star as she Star backed away, with the others following her lead. "Sean, Joseph, try to blast out the dark in him..." Dom was still trudging towards them, not bothering to speed up. Meanwhile, Vent went back to ranger base. He was mad at Dominic and at Star. "Darn it!" he yelled out loud. If only I could be stronger, thought Vent. Then no one could stand in my way. Vent rode off on his motorbike away from the ranger base, close to Angel Bay City Limits. He stared at the sea, looking for answers, and not responding to any calls sent to him by ranger base. What do they know? From now on, I'm my own Power Ranger. I no longer work with them. They're too blinded by their emotions, especially Star.

Back to the others, Dom eventually made it to them. He paused and pulled his sword up in a zombie like fashion. As Dom drove his sword down Joe jumped in front of Star as just before the saber hit Joe's chest he shouted, "Golden Radiance!!" Just then, his armor shown brightly and evaporated the dark sword. But what effect would it have on Dom? Meanwhile, Vent checked his e-mails. He saw one warning of Dominic. Perfect... Vent rode off to where the battle was taking place. When he arrived, he hid behind buildings as to not alert Dominic and to morph. He then sneaked up from behind Dominic. "Spino Blade, Spino Strike!" he yelled as he jumped and slashed Dom. Dom felt no pain from these attacks and formed another sword.

"Spirit of the Panther!" yelled Sean as the Panther Spirit hit Dom and appeared out of nowhere once again.The attack hit Dom so hard, he went against one of the building walls. Dom still did not feel any pain and so continued attacking. "Glad you could make it buddy," said Joe at Sean as he ran up to kick Dom while he was against the wall, but Dom ducked to the side and Joe's foot dented the wall as he missed. Dom slashed at Joe with his sword. Star flipped over and kicked Dominic away from Joseph. "Hm..." she told herself. She formed another arrow. "Maybe this will wake you up." She fired it, and it disappeared. A bright light appeared and engulfed the small gold dragon hatchling next to the dormant Dominic in his mind.

The hatchling grew slightly larger, in it's teen stage. It used it's horns to nudge Dominic more, and Dominic shuddered. Star unlatched her Starlight and pressed it against Dominic. They both demorphed and were encompassed by a sphere of light. Looking into his soulless face, she whispered, Come back... At that moment, she pressed a kiss against his lips, causing an intense light, stronger than before to surround the mental hatchling. The dragon, now known as the Nidhog, turned adult, and it's antlers grew to full size. It pierced Dominic's heart, and he was sent back into the world. Dom stood there, lips pressed against Star's. The Nidhog landed gently beside them, and shone a brilliant gold. A bit embarrassed, Star pushed back and said, "Um...uh...Nice to have you back Dominic..." She blushed. The sphere of light dissolved and they were in view. She looked at the Nidhog and watched its splendor in awe. Dom was blushing violently, and he looked away. "Yeah, it's nice to be back..." The Nidhog let out a small roar and turned towards Dominic.

Sean, completely stunned in awe by the Nidhog, quickly said, "It's the Nidhog! I thought it was just a myth. Dominic, do you think you can control it? By the way, welcome back." The Nidhog turned towards Sean and let out a small gruff. "Well, he's a gentle creature, but by the looks of it, don't get him angry," Dom said, chuckling. Everyone teleported back the Neo-Omega Base. Zedren is glad Dominic is back to our side.

Joe looks at Dom and gives him a friendly punch in the arm. "Oh, how cute," said Joe sarcastically. "The big bad demon has a soft side. Hey maybe you two can go on a double date with Izabel and me." "Joe, behave yourself," said Sean. "Let's just have another victory feast." He then turns towards Zedren. "What do you think, Zedren?"

Then out of nowhere, Chris returned from long absence. Why he was gone, I'm not sure. "Sorry I haven't been around Zedren," said Chris. "Don't worry Chris," began Zedren. "I have a lot more to be sorry for than you. We all contribute what we can. Even in unseen ways." He then turned to Sean and replied, "I think that is an excellent idea, but we must remain vigilant. As well as figure out how we can protect the Lio zord." He then walked up to Sean. "Can I speak to you privately a moment?" Zedren pulls Sean to the side. "Sean, I know my identity must of come as a shock to you. Just know that I am very sorry. I know words can never pardon me from the evil I've committed, or the fact that I killed your father. I know you must want vengeance. But I ask you. No. I beg you. Please. Give me a second chance. I don't expect you to forgive me all at once, but at least try to forgive me some day. Please." Sean put his head down. "I'll let you know when I made up my mind," said Sean.

Dom punched Joe lightly in the arm and laughed. "Joe..." Dom blushed violently. Star gave Joe a glaring look as if to say, Okay, you can shut up now! She regained her composure and started to say, "Well, regardless of how, at least Dom is back with us." Meanwhile, the Nidhog clumsily walked over to where the Fenrir Zord and Jormundgar zord stood. "Dom, can you tell us anything about this Loki character?" asked Joe. "How about you Diabolico? You seem pretty good on Demon knowledge." "Well from what I've heard, he was the one who awoke the demons," began Dom. "Which ended up killing my father. So he's basically a demon god. Somewhere along those lines." "Sorry, I can't be much of a help with this one," began Diabolico. "Loki was always a behind the scenes character. Always let his trickery do the talking for him. If he's playing an active part now, it can't be good." "Great," began Joe. "So now we're dealing with Vile, a malevolent demon god, and these double mask monsters, and all with my zord and powers fading and uncertain." Dom shrugged. "We just keep getting new enemies..."

To be continued...

Yah, but that'll be start next week. This coming week is finals for me. So not much comp time. and first we'll see where it all left off.

It may be short, but it is a cool one. :D Dramatic brevity FTW. lol

Kōsuke Ueki · May 8, 2010

Okay. This one explains slightly more on Sean's back-story, along with his main enemy, Gargantia, introduced through the mind of the possessed ranger. That's all I have to say, so just read to find out the rest.

[spoiler=[b]Episode 9: Power Corrupts Completely[/b]]

March 15, 2010 ~ Angel Bay: Boulevard

The next day, the rangers are in Angel Bay Boulevard already in mid combat. They have been surrounded by a large group of Strikers. The rangers handle themselves as always and when the numbers get too large they decided to morph. As the fighting continues, they see that as they knock one striker down another takes its place. It is as though when they turn to ash, their particles are reassembled by Loki. "OK, this is getting old fast," said Joe. "Guys stand back. Golden Radiance!!" Unfortunately, nothing happens. Joseph is shocked. He tries again, but still nothing. "I don't get it. I know that power would weaken with constant use in a short time, but I haven't used it since our last fight with Dom. What's going on?" Dom shrugged in mid battle. "Who knows to be honest?" asked Dom. He spun and slammed a kick to the strikers.

"Yeah, we'll have to find out later," said Joe as he roundhouse kicked some of the surrounding strikers. And whereas usually they would be destroyed by the radiation Joe's armor left behind, this time there was very little or none at all. Dom back-flipped and kicked some more strikers. Joseph managed to grab one of the Strikers arms and slash another in half. He then punched the other hard. As Joseph punched the other Striker, afterward, the gauntlet armor on his right arm disappeared. "Okay, now I'm thinking this is a problem." Dom then formed an orb of darkness in his hands. "Yea, uh, Joe, you might wanna move..." Joe dived out of the way and gave Dom the go ahead. But as Joe landed the other golden gauntlet disappeared as well. Elsewhere, Kent was fighting another group of the Strikers. He blasted one, and while two tried to run into him, he jumped over them and let them destroy each other.

Back at the command center, Sean finally talks to Zedren to talk about how he feels about what Zedren said to him yesterday. "Zedren, look," he began. "I will only take revenge on you if you become evil again, in a certain way." Sean sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that I forgive the good side of you, but the evil inside, I don't." Meanwhile, as Joseph got up he was pondering what was going on with his powers. He then heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw Vile standing behind him. "Well, well, well, it looks like we've found the little ranger who couldn't let his little light shine," began Vile as he laughed with glee. "Tell me how does it feel? How does it feel to lose your powers bit by bit?" "What are you talking about?" asked Joe.

"Didn't I warn you about the last time we met? Those powers should be mine. I went through all the trouble of taking them from my miserable excuse for a son-in-law. I have no idea what my daughter saw in him. And now he's on the good side of all things. Anyway, I'm not gonna let a pestilent fool like you stand in the way of me taking the gold ranger powers back. So every time you morph, you will lose more and more of your powers and I will gain them. Of course you could always join me and keep the powers. You serve me as one of my envoys and you can keep the powers, not to mention I'll show you how to fully use them. How does that sound?" "Sounds like a lousy deal for everyone else," replied Joe. "Ahhhh, so stubborn to the very end. But either way I'll get your powers sooner or later." "Then how bout later? Power down!" Joe then demorphed. "You said it yourself. As long as I'm morphed you can rob me of my powers. So i guess I won't morph." "What nerve, 'your powers'! I already told you they belong to me. Let's see how long you can last without morphing." Vile then laughed and disappears. Joseph then resumed his fighter stance and fought the Strikers. They were significantly harder to fight normally, but he managed to take down 3 Strikers.

Kent pulled out his Stego-Staff and whacked 2 Strikers with no problem at all. Joe continued to fight off the Strikers as best he could, but without his armor and these now smarter Strikers, he could only hurt them but not destroy them. Kent flipped over a Striker, got it in the back, in the process knocked it into another one and both were destroyed. Joe couldn't use much strength so he used his agility and managed to lead 2 strikers up to one of the higher hills and then kicked them into each other and made them roll down the hill and hit the large rock hard. "Panther Ground Pound!" yelled Sean as he appeared out of nowhere and hit the ground with a giant stomping wave that launches the last 4 Strikers into the air and disappear once they land. "Sorry I'm late, guys."

Then, unknown darkness surrounded Vent and got into his morpher. Then a mysterious but familiar voice said, "Dark Spino Zord, awaken!" The darkness attached to Vent like a symbiote. I know what you want, said a voice in Vent's mind. Dominic is a threat to us. Therefore, he must die! It was the darkness talking to Vent. It was merging with his emotions and his powers. You're right. Dominic is too strong. He must be destroyed. No matter what the cost. Hiya!

Vent then was morphed but his colors changed. His suit was now an ominous black. He felt stronger and more confident of his powers. His abilities increased. He then de-morphed and was transferred to a park in Angel Bay. Everything was normal except his wounds had healed. The morpher had also changed its color to black with a gold broader where Vent flipped it open to morph. In the center was a glass oval flashing a big pink light. Vent then walked off to try out his new upgrade. You're sticking with me for a long time.

Meanwhile, "Nice work guys," began Joe after the battle ended. "Sorry I couldn't have been much of a help." He pauses and looks solemn like he's about to give some really bad news, but then, "I think we should head back to base. By the way, where did Vent go?" "I don't really know, but I don't care right now," said Dom in pain. "You okay buddy? Let's get back to base. Vent will come when he wants."

Back at base, everyone recovered their wounds and relaxed a bit. Then Commander Zedren then entered the room. Dom kicked his feet up and laid back. He was sitting on a couch with his feet on a small coffee table in front. A TV was in front of the table. He flipped through the channels. "Man, it feels good to not have to fight any more strikers," he told himself. "Just because your a bit relaxed doesn't mean you can drop your manners," said Star to Dom as she plopped on the couch next to him. "Drop your feet okay?" Kent, out of curiosity, asked, "What happened to Rita Repulsa? Was she transformed like you or destroyed?" "She was also transformed," Zedren began. "And she's doing the same sort of thing I am, in a way. She has become the queen of all good magic. In fact it was her who helped me mask the Liopleurodon zord for so long from Vile. She also breathed magical life into the zords we made here. Thus making them life-like." "I believe she is referred to as the Mystic Mother?" asked Star. Recalling Rita's profile, it was hard to forget such a LONG history. "Though it is sort of ironic considering who her father is."

Meanwhile, Vent was atop a skyscraper. Okay, time to see what I've got! he thought. Vent then saw a monster, who might have been a test creation by Vile, robbing a bank. It appeared to be a two-headed Shadow Striker with about the same intelligence as Vile's previous monsters, except for the Globber monster who never spoke in the first place. "Halt!" yelled Vent as he jumped from the skyscraper. The monster laughed at the sight of Vent. "What are you gonna do if I don't?" asked the monster. "Don't test me! Shadow Spino Awaken!" Vent transformed into his new form. He then put a fist right through the monster and killed it. The monster then exploded. "I warned you." The only reason it was killed in one attack was because it was a fairly weak monster that had about the same fighting ability as any of the original Shadow Strikers, and was about as weak as them. Man, by the looks of that guy, he seemed strong. I just took him out in seconds. But what about Dominic? I know. I'll wait until everyone goes to bed. Then I'll sneak up and stab him. Wait, I can't kill him in his sleep. No. I shall confront him when everyone's awake. Then they'll see who the strongest really is. Then Vent traveled back to Ranger Base and went to the data room to research all of Dominic's weaknesses. It's too bad we don't have any weaknesses, said the darkness in vent's mind. I can cover up your weaknesses Vent, as long as you're my host, I shall always be here to serve you. Of course. Why would I want to get rid of you? You're the whole reason I can be stronger than that traitor Dominic. But what about the others? Don't worry. In time they shall see our power, and they shall kneel.

Meanwhile, Vile had just realized what had happened. "Hey that overgrown 2-headed striker I was messing around with got destroyed," he began. "Oh well. It wasn't my style anyway. I mean seriously, what kind of monster robs a bank? We want chaos, not capital. We want power, not pecuniary benefits. Oh well, but I wonder who did it. Hey, isn't that the navy ranger? But wait. What's...Is that...A Gargantile seed?" Vile laughed. "That fool. He has no idea that seed may be giving him added strength now, but soon enough it will start taking strength from him and giving it to Gargantia. I would say i should tell the rangers this and help them kill that thing, but who cares. Once I've finished recovering my Gold Ranger powers, I'll be strong enough to deal with all of them. And with my good pal Loki and his new and improved body, what can go wrong?"

Back at the base, Zedren replied to Star, "You call it ironic, I call it Karma. Maybe thats my retribution for being evil. Having him as a father-in-law. Even when I was bad I couldn't stand him." He laughs. "Anyway, speaking of which, Joe I noticed you demorphed mid battle. What happened?" Joe looks down and said, "I kept noticing some of my powers and armor was disappearing, and then Vile appeared to me. He gave me an ultimatum. I can either join him and bring back my powers at full strength, or he continues to drain my powers." "This is not good." "There's no way I'm gonna join him, but I can't let him have the Gold Ranger powers." "Great, not only are we short a megazord, but we're also now short a ranger. Not to mention we apparently have rangers who like to fight each other, but I'll deal with that later. Right now we have to find a way to stop Vile from getting those powers." "Wait, what if Zordon had these powers. Would Vile be able to take them?" "Well he had them originally in lock-down, and then thats when I took them." "No I mean what if the power actually flowed through Zordon's body, would Vile be able to take them?" "Well in that case, I doubt he would be able to, but Zordon's no longer around." "I know, but his guardian is. What if I temporarily gave my powers Sean? Could that stall for time?" "Well its the best idea we got for now. But there's no telling how long it will last. I wish we had an idea where the Blade of Genesis was being held." Joe then found Sean and told him to morph. Joe then concentrated and put his hand on Sean's shoulder. Joe's chest and leg armor then appeared over Sean's suit. "I figure you're the best one here to trust with my powers."

Dom shrugged. "Fine," he replied to Star about earlier. He dropped his feet, but had his hands behind his back. Meanwhile, Vent was able to obtain everything he needed to defeat Dominic. Now I just need to wait, he thought. Vent went outside the base to wait for the right moment to attack Dominic. Star then said, "Oh, speaking of which Zedren, I actually found that place you were looking for." She jumped up. She quickly punched in a few numbers. "This my friends, is the Island of Creation." A picture of a beautiful perpetual sunset overshadowing an island with a dim glow. It implied a place of power. It contained a temple whose age is timeless and whose splendor could not be matched. Outside were various statues, eerily motionless, yet alive at the same time. Complementing this was a vast forest of trees and creatures unknown to mankind. "Whoa," Dom said, transfixed by the image. He bent over Star to take a closer look. "Now, that's amazing." "So that's the Island of Creation," began Joe. "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the reason it looks so untouched by in-habitation is because they've probably been killed. But if we have to go there we'll go there."

Meanwhile, Vent came from behind Dominic and stroke him in the back. "Shouldn't have let your guard down," he said. Fully morphed, Vent also attacked Star. "Two traitors with the same blade." Vent then laughed. Dom got down, but quickly pulled himself backup. Seeing him strike Star filled him with rage, and his morpher cracked. He grabbed Vent by the scruff of his neck and threw him against a wall. Darkness started seeping through the cracks of the morpher, teleporting the two outside to the surface, and a familiar voice was heard. "Hm?" said the voice. "Trying to kill Dominic here? You forgot about me!" It was Fenrir. Fenrir's voice boomed through the base. "Fool!" yelled Vent as bounced off the tree and stabbed Dominic. The stab pierced Dominic, but he was already controlled by Fenrir. He easily grabbed Vent's weapon and crushed it with his bare hands. He grabbed Vent once more and smashed him into the ground. Before they teleported out, Star created a tracker on both Dom and Vent so that she would know where they end up if they were teleported by something else. Star then teleports out to Dom and Vent's location, seeing exactly what happens.

Star, noticing Vent went crazy, didn't have a second thought. "Oh no no no!" she began. "No one goes bad ranger on us now." She morphed. "And here's why!" She fired dozens of arrows, actually aiming to knock the sanity back into him. Vent's suit popped out two tentacles and grabbed Dominic's wrists. It then lifted him and then two more tentacles grabbed the other free limbs. Then black gunk surrounded Vent's broken blade and within seconds the blade was reformed made even stronger than before. "Aw, did I touch a nerve?" said Vent, sarcastically. "It's too bad you and Star are going to have to die. You were such a cute couple." Vent then slammed Dominic mercilessly into the ground using his tentacles. Dom appeared lifeless, as if he was dead. Vent then laughed. "What's wrong, wolf-boy?" Dominic remained silent. "Answer me!" Vent slammed him even harder. "Fine, if you won't talk, maybe your girlfriend will." Vent popped another tentacle and wrapped it around Star. Then it began to constrict her. "You have about 1 minute before I suck the life out of her!"

Star, fully aware that both guys were insane, went fuming with rage. "One, and this one's goes to you Vent, why don't we have a nice chat?" she asked as she flipped and slammed a kick square into his face. "Two, oh Dom, I already had to pull you out of the gutter already!" Fully mad by now, she just slapped him across the face. "Why do you insist on always losing your sanity! It's getting old, REAL old!" Fenrir ripped out of Dom's lifeless body and struck at Vent. He was standing behind him now, with the symbiote in his jaws. "What shall I do with you?" Fenrir asked himself. "Hm?"

Meanwhile, Vile was waiting patiently on the egg he plans to have a monster as when he saw something out of the ordinary. "What's this?" he began. "So the rangers are fighting amongst each other. That Vent must be strong, usually the gargantile seed overwhelms its victim, but he's actually controlling it. He's mad, but he's controlling it. Loki, come sit down and bring the pop corn. This should be good." Loki then comes over and begins to watch the battle as it progresses.

Too easy! Vent thought. He then allowed himself to be consumed by the Fenrir. Then while inside, he popped tentacles from every direction and struck at the Fenrir's stomach. He eventually ripped himself out, dividing the Fenrir in two. "You actually think that would work?" he asked Vent as he turned towards Star and shot out some black gunk that attached itself to Star's neck. "You're not getting away that easy." The black broach started constricting Star's neck. It became too attached to her neck. She couldn't take it off. "And now for wolf-boy." He turned towards Dominic and grabbed his four limbs. He then threw him at the base and then an avalanche of rocks fell from the base's material, collapsing on top of Dominic. Just as Star was being constricted by the tentacle glob, the broach was sliced in half and fell to the ground, evaporated, and disappeared. Ecliptor ran over and helped her up. As Vent held Fenrir to the ground, Diabolico shoved his blade deep into Vent's black extensions and slammed him into the tree. "What in the world has gotten into you?" asked Ecliptor. "You seem untrustworthy of Dom, but if you keep up like this you're gonna become what you so hate."

"Don't stand in my way or I shall have to destroy you!" yelled Vent as he then shot another blob of black gunk at Ecliptor's neck. "This is why I'm here. To end the treachery. To make sure no one stands in my way. To be the best! I don't care who gets hurt." He then grabbed Ecliptor and Star with tentacles and began to constrict them. "Not even if it means you! Not even if it means Zedren! Not even if it means destroying the Ranger Base! I shall always remain superior!" Diabolico then punched him in the chest. "Did you forget about me?" asked Diabolico. "You're just proving how week you are by doing this. You're so pathetic. You let your rage and this thing consume you. A true warrior lives by the strength of his spirit and not physical strength. Even a demon's got more honor then you." Fenrir just duplicated. He shot back through the rubble and Dominic was awake. "Man, what happened?" he asked. He was in a small cavern.

When Sean realized what was happening outside and what had happened to both Dom and Vent, he morphed and teleported outside the base. Sean then tightened a grip on his fist, after looking at the damage. "Golden Lio Armor, Activate!" he yelled as the Liopleurodon Armor combined with Sean. "Golden Radiance!" The giant light evaporated the darkness from Vent, for a limited time, and grabbed him by his neck. "For all the darkness in your heart, and for all of the ones that helped you in the past, you try to kill everyone? Pull it together, man!" The shadows then surrounded Vent and sent a shock-wave that sent Sean, Diabolico, and Star flying. When the smoke cleared, Vent and the symbiote were gone. Vent was then taken to an unknown location. Then Vent heard a mysterious voice call out to him. I saw your fight. And I must say I am impressed. No one has ever been able to control my seed. However, you still have much to learn. Fortunately, I can train you to not only control that seed, but extend its limits! You can be stronger! "What?!?" asked Vent in confusion. "Who are you?" I am Gargantia! And you are my new apprentice! Then Vent unwillingly knelled and heard himself say, "What is thy bidding...my master?"

To be continued...

This seemed to be the longest yet. Here it is. Plus, much more of Sean's back-story is explained.

[spoiler=[b]Episode 10: Genesis(First Half)[/b]]

As the rangers recover from the crushing betrayal from Vent, large pulsations shuddered and shook the world. Star, nearly falling over stumbled to a machine. "Okay, the source of these tremors seems to be..." She stopped, slightly frightened. "Oh my...the Island." She knew the only island that would be relevant of course would be Island of Creation. "I know that the ever recent evil-ranger scheme has left a bad imprint on our hearts, but we should head to the Island. I have a feeling the infamous Blade of Genesis is the source of all this confusion. So, be prepared, we leave at dawn." Then, BOOM. Rocks are sent flying away and a shaken Dominic steps out. "Man, what the heck was that?!" he yelled, obviously angry. Sean was demorphed, unconscious, and under a giant pile of rocks. While unconscious, he groaned a lot, getting everyone's, who are awake, attention.

Ecliptor and Diabolico helped Sean and Dominic out of the rubble. "Let's get you guys fixed up," said Ecliptor. "There's apparently weird stuff happening on the Island of Creation. You guys are leaving in the morning." While at base Zedren told them of what he knew. He looked solemn. "It appears that Gargantia has returned," said Zedren. Joe, confused, asked, "Who's that?" "Gargantia was an ancient creature that lived eons ago. I'm sure you've been all catching up with the past rangers and learning about old enemies right. Well, have you heard of Ivan Ooze? Well, even Ooze was afraid of this thing. Because it has no allegiance. Not to good, not to evil. Only to itself. Even if you try to reason with it, or even devote yourself as a follower, it will always have its own interests at heart. And there is no reasoning with its victims cause he tempts them with power, and if there is even a shred of jealousy in you, he will pray on that. Rangers, tonight you must meditate, clear the air of anything...fears, hatred, anything. Only then can you be sure not to fall under the spell of Gargantia."

Joe knew what he had to do. He went to visit Izabel. He apologized for making her worry and for constantly missing their dates. "Don't make excuses," she began, annoyed. "Somethings different about you. I know you're not seeing someone else..." She smiles. "...You're not that stupid. But I feel that when you're ready to tell me, you'll tell me. I tend to think it has something to do with these monster attacks. It seems like since then you've been 'busy'. Just know that I trust you, but whatever it is you're doing, just promise me you'll be safe." Joe smirked. "Of course I will, thanks." They kissed and then Joe left to return to the base.

"I know this sounds silly, but I am deathly afraid of arachnids of all kinds," Kent began. "Scorpions, spiders, you name it. I am also afraid of getting hurt, so I was reluctant to join this. Now I'm in it to win it!" Meanwhile, Sean meditates while using his panther instincts to try to communicate with Gargantia. Gargantia, where are you? Well, well, well, began Gargantia. What do we have here? It seems to be the fool who released me. I will not stop until you are destroyed. I don't care about the others, or Vile. The panther sealed you up before, and I will do the same. Everyone was confused on what Sean is talking about. He opened his eyes and explained. "I was talking to Gargantia. He will pay for what he has done!" "I always heard that Gargantia never specified anyone as the target of his wrath, just life and existence itself," began Zedren. "However, you released him and wield the panther spirit, thus it's easy to see why, if anyone, he'd want to come after you." "What is everyone else afraid of or hiding?" asked Kent. "We need to clear the air before fighting Gargantia..."

Joe walked back into the base around the same time Kent asked his question to everyone. "Well, I just handled mine," Joe replied to Kent. "I'm a little nervous because I'm heading to the island without my powers. I have to get the blade before Vile or anyone else does, so I'm a little nervous. But just a little." He smirks sarcastically. "So anyone else want to clear the air? Kent, Sean, did you two resolve whatever conflicts or secrets you might have had? How about you Dominic, if I remember correctly you were afraid of a certain fish, and how bout you Star?" Dominic eyed Joe. "DO NOT EVEN MENTION THE WORD!!" he yelled. "Well I got mine out," replied Kent. "To repeat, I am deathly afraid of arachnids of all kinds. Scorpions, spiders, you name it. I am also afraid of getting hurt." Joe pats Kent on the back. "You sure this was the right line of business for you? Well if you need any confidence just remember, I've got no powers and I'm going to an island death trap. So, who's shoes would you rather be in?" Joe then laughed. Kent laughed, too. "You should have been here. I already said I was reluctant to join." "Well I think we should all get some sleep," said Joe. "Something tells me we're gonna need it. Night." "Night," said Kent as he walked off to bed.

March 16, 2010 ~ Neo-Omega Base

The Rangers all packed their things and got ready. "So how are we getting there?" asked Joe. "We could go in the megazord, since it can fly, but, to convenience Star, we could go in the megazord and she could stay here," said Kent. "That is, if she wants to..." "I got an idea," said Sean. "Which one of you guys have a zord that can swim, if the island is surrounded by water?" "Well the island of creation is one the furthest reaches of the galaxy, but..." began Zedren as he stopped to look at what is going on. "Wait, whats this?" he then sees something out of random. "Rangers, a worm hole opened in, known as the Marianis Trench. Sean's right. We can get to it by aquatic zord." "Well I think the Lio zord is the only one that can swim," began Joe. "And its certainly large enough to accommodate everyone. But I'm afraid what happened last time will happen again. You know with Vile and everything." "Right. Let's go, rangers!" Meanwhile, in space, Gargantia has a stunning decision. Maybe I should mess with the Orange Ranger's mind. Of course, he does so. Sean's head began to hurt and he talked very random. "Get out my head, beast! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" The others are wondering what's going on with Sean.

"But what if Vile can take control of the Lio zord again?" began Joe. "Or what if Gargantia can take control of you Sean? He's gotten into your head twice now." Meanwhile in Gargantia's hideout, he finds out something astonishing. "So, they're heading to the Island of Creation," he began. "I bet they're going after the Genesis Blade. I wonder if Vile knows about this. That gives me an idea." He created a dimensional opening with his claws and spoke to Vile. Meanwhile Vile was pondering how to deal with Gargantia's arrival. "What the heck am I supposed to do now?" he began. "I wasn't ready, not yet. I need the gold ranger powers first. And where's Loki? Perhaps this should be the proper time to unleash my new monster, or maybe Valon. Maybe..." He was then interrupted by an opened dimensional portal that was just big enough for a head to fit through. Greetings Vile, said Gargantia. "That's Master Vile to you!" he then saw who it was. "Oh, Gargantia. Um, how are you? Um, it's good to see you. I must say I'm a fan." Well then, allow me to give some advice to a fan. You've heard of the legendary Genesis Blade, right? "Of course. It is said to control the Lio and gold ranger powers, along with a few other abilities. Why do you ask?" The rangers are going there to try to stop you from taking the gold ranger powers. "Those fools really think they can do that. Well, they've got another thing coming." Good. A portal has apparently, opened within the Marianis trench that leads to the island. "Well you certainly haven't met the grandeur of Master Vile. I don't need some portal. I can make my own way." Well you certainly are a Master then, good luck my friend. And one last thought to leave you with. If you don't need a portal, how come you've waited so long to go there? Gargantia then laughed and the portal closed. "Oh, that annoying walking beast of bones! He saw through my bluff. Fine I'll go to the island and give the rangers a run for their money, that is, unless the temple guards don't kill them before me. But who to take? Let me ponder."

Meanwhile Gargantia spoke to himself, Excellent! While Vile goes on a wild goose chase and probably gets himself killed, I'll do some remodeling. I'll create a illusionary disturbance to think something powerful is around and he'll be too busy to react properly, so he'll send a hoard of Strikers. Then, I'll take control of them myself and make them my own, with a few changes of course. He laughs. It's been said that in the beginning there was Chaos, and I say, forevermore, that in the end, there will ONLY be Chaos. He then laughs again, even harder than before.

Meanwhile, back at the base, Star smiled. "Don't worry about it," she began. "I think you all be interested who came to me during last night. Though he nearly gave me a heart attack." She held up her morpher, and the Starlight inside shone brightly. The light made a sort of Bridge to the sky. A loud sound, which resembled singing, was followed by a majestic beast. "This my friends, is the Pegasus zord. And the best part is, his purity barrier is compatible with the base's, so Gargantia and Vile can't take control of anything that's near it." As she said it, the Pegasus Zord shrank to horse size. "Useful ability also. His barrier is tangible, so I can follow you on him."

[align=center]

Lavendar Pegasus Zord[/align]

Dom scratched his head. "I don't think my Zords exactly...like it..." he said as the Fenrir and Jormundgar Zords stared at the beast with hate. "Maybe it's because they used to be evil?" asked Kent. "Wait!" yelled Sean, in a stunning aspect. "I feel something!" After a minute passes, Sean gets a vision on the entrance. It shows the island is heavily guarded. And they all have the symbol of Zordon, as the same as Sean. Everyone is amazed to realize that in a short amount of time. "Okay guys, let's go," said Joe as he turned to Sean. "Sean the Lio zord is under your control. Now you go do your thing." Everyone boarded the Lio zord, including the Pegasus. And they set off for the Marianis Trench. The crushing pressure of the depths were like home for the Lio zord. As the rangers went down they saw various wrecks and beasts unknown to man. A giant squid grabbed a hold of the Lio zord, but eventually detached itself and went on its way. The rangers made it through the portal, got to the planet and found it to be one giant ocean. The island was a 2 hour journey away.

Meanwhile in Vile's Lair, Vile is too prepared for the journey himself. "So the rangers have left for the island, and so shall we," he began. "So, are you ready Valon to show them true power?" A figure walks out from the shadows. He is muscular and very athletically built. He has some vicious looking slash marks on his pants and across his shirt, as if something had mauled him. He nodded his head without saying a word and followed after Vile. Just as Vile was about to step into the portal, he sensed something. "Wait, what's this? There's a strange reading I'm sensing. Could it be...Ninjor? He's left the temple, finally. I wonder what he could be doing. I hope not bringing the rangers any reinforcements. I would send Loki, but he's never around when I need him. And if anything I'd ask him to come with me. I know! I'll send an entire army of Strikers. 200 to be exact. Go Strikers, capture Ninjor and then bring him here. I'll be back shortly." Vile then laughed, stepped through the portal and left.

Meanwhile, in Angel Bay Park, Ninjor was walking around with no apparent purpose in mind. Then the entire army of Strikers surrounded him. One of the strikers managed to speak in a shrill, raspy voice. "...You are to be taken to Master Vile." Ninjor responds, "So, you think you can stand up to the power of Ninjor? Well, my friends, that could be possible." He then grabbed his chest and his voice suddenly changed and became deeper. But luckily I'm not Ninjor. His armor then shattered and morphed around him. Long spines appeared on his head. Blades shot out of his back along with wing-like projections. His fingers grew claws. His body was now encased in a bone-like armor while underneath was a skin that appeared to be writhing and teeming with dead souls and shadows. Its ribcage encased a heart like appendage, which looked as hard as diamond. And it was uncertain whether its eyes were behind the visor, were the visor, where the two things above the visor, or if they were all his eyes. It was both and neither physical and/nor nonphysical. It was chaos incarnate. It...was Gargantia.

[align=center]

Gargantia[/align]

So Vile actually fell for it, he began. He's a bigger bone head than I thought. He then laughed. Now then, you're all coming with me. Just then hundreds of vines came out of Gargantia's black body and impaled each Striker through the chest, then wrapped around the bodies, and then shot down their throats. As this happened their bodies became to change and warp. Their blades were no longer rusted, but were complete. Their bodies materialized armor. All the while Gargantia was laughing sadistically as these creatures were being empowered at the same time as being tortured. The Strikers' souls where then absorbed into Gargantia. You are my army now. And I'll release each of you when I feel like it. He laughed again. He then disappeared. But yet his laughter remained for 5 seconds after.

Meanwhile, after the battle outside the Ranger Base, Vent trained intensely with Gargantia. He also improved his seed suit. Gargantia left Vent in charge of a Special Unit of his most brutal pawns. Gargantia then laughed. Foolish Rangers! exclaimed Gargantia. They're all falling for my trap! "Indeed master," added Vent, "It's a good thing you taught me that technique with that piece of seed left behind outside the Ranger Base. Soon they shall all praise your name." Little did Vent know of Gargantia's true plan, though.

March 16, 2010 ~ Island of Creation: Entrance

The Island of Creation loomed over the horizon. The entire island was surround by sharp vertical bluff that rose almost 1,500 ft into the sky. Every segment of these bluffs, which were about 300 feet long, had large engravings along them each depicting various monumental events that have transpired and have yet to transpire. One engraving depicted the Great War between the Olympians and the Titans, another depicted Ragnarok, another showed a massive ark upon a great endless ocean, another showed three travelers following a star, and there were countless others. The rangers eventually came upon a small beach about 20 feet across. The rangers continued to circle the island, but it appeared to be the only entrance. The rangers exited the Lio zord and tried to contact Zedren. "Rang…….I…… bar…….hear you. Trying...fig…..out……send …..zords…..to you…… Be…..areful ….. Many……dangers……..impartial……..May……power……otect you." "Look's like we’re on our own," said Joe.

The rangers managed to find a narrow path that led up the cliff face. It was covered by high walls and dense vegetation on each side. "Keep your eyes open guys. This is a bad place to be ambushed." As the rangers continued up the pathway, they started to notice bodies littering the trail. All dead. Each on from various different times, places, species, and size. Some were so old they were already turning to ash, while others looked almost like mummies, still maintaining things like hair attached to their bones. They had various injuries, some where crushed, others had tomahawks sticking out of them, some had spear wounds, others were bitten in half, some were incinerated or slashed in half. It was a massacre. As the rangers made it to the top of the hill, they found a large sign that was written in countless languages. It said:

Welcome to the Island of Creation. This is sacred ground. It commemorates the various triumphs of many cultures throughout time and space. Those you have seen on the trail coming here are those who came here with impure intent for they followed the path of power. Only those on the path of virtue can survive the island trials. Anyone seeking what this island’s main sanctum offers must be pure of heart, utmost intentions, as well as purpose dire. If these are not fulfilled, then your death sentence has already been signed.

Dominic sighed. "I feel so screwed right now," he told himself as he looked around remembered something. "Wait! Didn't we see an engraving of Ragnarok?! I might be able to..." Dominic rushed down back to the beach. As Dom was running down towards the beach he found the Ragnarok engraving, since it was parallel to the beach shore on the left. He saw a slight inscription under it. It was hard to make out and written in a strange language. Only the Fenrir spirit within him could understand. It said:

The tide of Ragnarok shall be shifted. Demons and heroes must unite, for an enemy of an enemy shall always more be a friend. Redemption lies in unification.

These words don't mean much to Dominic at the moment, but they strike him as a omen, or rather, a decree of Fate. Dominic stored the words away inside him. A small portal opened from the engraving and a golden dragon head popped out. The Nidhog hovered outside and looked at Dominic. Meanwhile, as Kent walked along the shore line, he noticed something washed up on the beach. Strange, as this is on a completely different planet. It was a large sea shell. As Kent looked inside a claw came out and he dropped it. There was a weird crab-like creature in it that crawled out and went into the sea. Kent then saw something sticking out of the shell. It was a piece of bark that had some writting on it. It said:

I've searched the entire island and there is no way to the sanctum without going through the ruined city. I lost my entire squad in there. Those creatures just keep coming. I am writing this so that someone may learn. The city is full of traps. As well as 2 types of guardians. But they aren't the real problem. In order to get to the treasure, one must face the pits of Tartarus and...

The rest of the letter has burn marks and is unreadable from there. Meanwhile, Vile finally made it to the island. "Ah, so this is the legendary Island of Creation," began Vile. "Quite impressive. I could get quite a few monster ideas from this place. Valon, let's make it towards the ancient city. And to the blade. Either way the rangers won't know what hit them, perhaps we should greet them." He then laughed as Vile and Valon continued towards the ancient city. "So more warriors have accepted the challenge then," said a figure to himself in the ancient city. "I wonder if they'll meet the same fate as the rest?"

As the rangers walked along the path, they came to a multiple pathway, 7 to be exact. Joesph felt a feeling. As if someone was leading him. But what? Sense of duty, God, the power within, love, fate...perhaps a bit of everything. He couldn't explain it. He knew what he had to do. "Guys, I can't explain it, but we must choose the second path on the right," Joe explained. "But be careful. I feel there could be traps and surprises ahead." Dominic walks back to Joseph, with the Nidhog behind him. As Kent and Dominic were walking along the path they tripped over something. As they did a bunch of chains in the tree rang. "Looks like we set off an alarm." Just then there were strange grunts coming from the forest all around. Then, out of nowhere, 6 strange looking creatures ran out of the bush.

The first 3 were 6 feet tall and extremely skinny. They were wearing kilts made of palm branches and their faces appeared to be skulls protruding with eerily strange jaws. They carried strange rusted a twisted long daggers.

Island Guardian 1[/align]

The 3 others were 4 feet tall, stubby and carried tomahawks. Their bodies were covered in white hair, or cobwebs. Either way they looked extremely ancient. They wore elaborate tunics and hand much more armor than the others. They had strange hook like things sticking out of their back, which the rangers all hope are merely for decoration and wish they don't have a real purpose.

[align=center]

Island Guardian 2[/align]

Kent kick-flipped into one of the 4-footers. The monster flew into the tree and the spines on his back got impaled into him. The beast struggled and then disappeared into a burst of white light. Joseph dodged one of the 6 foot ones. The dagger barely missed Joe's head and sliced off a few hairs. He tried to trip it, but it was extremely nimble and kept flipping around his moves. Kent was unable to land another hit and got hit himself. One of the 4 foot monsters ripped one of the spears hooks out of its back and threw it a Kent. It pierced him in the chest. The blade was attached to a chain in his hand. As he started to pull the chain Kent felt strange he kept looking and noticed that a ghostly version of himself was being ripped out. The hook was ripping his soul out of his body. Just as it was about to be ripped completely from him, Joseph drop kicked the 4 foot monster, and then dived out of the way as the 6 foot one Joe was previously was fighting stabbed the 4 foot one and destroyed him. The soul then returned to Kent and the dagger disappeared. There was no blood, but he still felt slightly sore. "What in the world?" asked Kent, slightly relieved. "What happened? What is wrong with this place? Well, 2 down, 4 to go. Ow!" "Yeah, now we have more of a reason to avoid those things." Dominic was in the sky, aboard the Nidhog. He watched the fight below.

Just then a silver streak sliced through two of the six foot monsters, and stood there. "Aw, I was expecting a challenge for this being the Island of Creation," said the figure with his back turned on the rangers. The figure turned around, wearing white ranger armor. It was actually silver. Just as Dominic was flying the trees shot a barrage of needles from their branches up at him. As soon as the needles were airborne, they disintegrated. The golden radiance of the Nidhog was strong enough to keep them at bay, for a while. Then Joseph saw this new figure. It was Valon, the Silver Lycan Ranger.

[align=center]

Silver Lycan Ranger[/align]

"Who are you?" asked Joe. "I didn't expect any more rangers. Did Zedren send you?" "Zedren?" asked Valon. "No no no no no! I was sent by...my master, Vile. My name is Valon." Valon disappeared, and soon reappeared in front of Joseph and struck him to the chest. Without his powers, Joseph could do much to avoid it. He flew back and hit the tree. He stood up. "Great, so Vile can't do his own dirty work can he?" Just then they all heard a familiar voice. "Well, what do you know?" asked Vile behind the rangers. "The gold ranger still got spunk. Still refuse to morph I see." Just then, he notices that Sean has a golden aura to him "Wait, you gave your powers away? Oh please, you could of just given them to me and saved the use of a middle man. Valon take care of these inferiors. They displease your master and insult your honor. I'll head towards the inner sanctum." He walked off and turned intangible so as the monsters couldn't touch him.

"Right!" said Valon. "Gold Ranger or Ex-Gold Ranger, it's time to die!" Valon got ready to leap at Joseph, but before he could, something from the tree behind him grabbed him. "You dare try to sneak up on me!?!" Valon spin kicked the tree and it crumbled. Beyond it he saw a one of the remaining monsters. He dashed towards it and struck it with one of his claws. The monster then vanished into a white light. "Great, we don't need this. Guys, do you think you can handle this while I go on ahead? Sean, you're coming with me." "NO!" yelled Valon. "The one with the Gold Ranger powers is going to stay with me!" Valon started walking towards Joseph and Sean.

"Hey Dom, you mind helping here?" Joe asked upward towards Dominic. Just then another group of monsters jump down. Another six foot one tries to attack Joe from behind, but he flips him and throws him at Valon. "Whenever you're ready guys!" Joe was being sarcastic and losing patience. Before the Monster came in contact with Valon, he slashed at it with his claw and destroyed it. "You'll have to do better than that to beat me!" "Fine," said Dom as he jumps down, and without morphing, halts Valon. "Oh no, you're not going anywhere!" "Thanks buddy. Let's go Sean!" Joe and Sean start to head towards the city and calls back, "We'll be back soon guys!"

Dominic sighed and rolled his eyes. "So, uh, I guess you won't be moving from that spot huh?" asked Dom at Valon. Valon looks at Dom. "Hey I know you," began Valon. "You're the one that Master Vile told me about. The one who BETRAYED HIM!!" Valon's claw glowed white and he struck Dom. Dominic looked down and smirked. "That WAS supposed to hurt right?" Valon gave a smile. "No, it was supposed to distract you." Suddenly the light from Valon's claw started to wrap around Dom. "Interesting, I suppose. So, uh, what's it suppose to do?" Dominic could easily brake it off, it didn't feel so strong.

Meanwhile Vile had already made it to the sanctum. It was up a large temple on top of a stairwell of 1000 stairs. At top there was a large temple with various columns and carvings. Each column had an engraving of an ancient zord. Vile stepped into the large temple room. There was a massive doorway to one side and torches on the surrounding walls. "So where is this Blade I've heard so much about?" he asked himself. Valon started laughing. "It's my Moon Claw," began Valon. "You see it may feel flimsy and weak, but it's like a rubber band that gets smaller, and smaller, and smaller, over time, and if you break it, well I'll let you find out." Dominic smirked. He bulged his arm just a little, and it broke. "Now what?"

A bright white light flashed and blinded Dom. As this happened Valon lunged forward, and laid a blow to his head. "If you couldn't tell, when my Moon Claw breaks, a bright light blinds my enemy." Dominic staggered back, but used that to an advantage and caught the hand as it hit. "Interesting, now, let's try something else." He sidestepped and smashed Valon into the ground, creating a large crater. "Hm, that was a bit...off." As Valon was on the ground, he started to chuckle. Valon soon snapped back up to his feet. "Master Vile was right. My powers are very close to yours. We are nearly identical, but my powers are far more superior." Valon disappeared, and reappeared on a tree branch. "My powers were made to counteract every other Ranger, and your powers are no different." Valon started disappearing and reappearing everywhere and soon looked like he was everywhere at once. "This is a little trick I like to call my Wolf Illusion. You might be able to keep up with me, but I'm never in place for long."

"You forget, I am backed by a wolf demon. Now, master, will you show this fool his incompetence?" Fenrir appeared from Dominic's shadow and chuckled. "This is his power?" asked Fenrir. "Employing the moon? Sad." Dominic's shadow extended into smaller Fenris, and each lunged at Valon. Meanwhile, Joe and Sean continued on their way. All of the shadows phased through Valon, as if he wasn't really there. He laughed. "Didn't I tell you, I'm never in the same place for long," he began. "No matter how fast or many attacks you throw at me, it won't touch me, unfortunately I can't hurt you when I do this, but I can show you this." Valon disappeared, and reappeared in a tree. "You only have the powers of a wolf demon, while I AM a wolf demon! Take this, MOON BLAZE!" Both of Valon's claws glowed white, and shot a large white fire ball at Dom. The haze erupted through Dom and he continued to stand where he was. "I'd check yourself," began Dom. "Those Fenris weren't suppose to do physical damage." Under Valon's suit a wolf like tattoo that starts to spread across his body, causing immense pain. Valon started to smile. "I guess I should tell you, Master Vile took away all my Pain Nerves. Pain is now a memory to me." He then laughs.

Valon kept standing, but started to wobble as if dizzy, and soon fell. "Whats happened!?" he yelled as he started to breathe heavier. "I can't feel pain, why can't I stand up!?" Suddenly Valon gave out a scream, and the wind blew fiercely. Suddenly the wind stopped, and Valon stood up. "I forgot, I don't feel pain, but my body still reacts as if in pain." Valon looked up at Dom. "It's sad. Such a strong warrior left Master Vile. Too bad I can't influence you to go back to Vile's side." Dom waved his hand dismissively. "That curse is strong enough to kill a god. It's been my destiny to do this." He sighed. "I now await the triumphant..." "Strong enough to kill a god? Strong enough to kill a starving rat, but not a god, like me." He laughs. "You have seen nothing yet." A large spike in energy came from Valon, and the marks were removed from his body. "You won't be triumphant, Dominic. Your powers are only a fraction compared to me." Valon's Visor turned red, and suddenly he gave an extremely loud Ear-splitting howl. "You really are foolish. That mark is still there." "W-What!?" Valon looked down and realized they were still there! "Th-thats impossible! That spike of energy should have removed them! Well it looks like your powers are a little greater than I expected, but my body can still hold a little more."

Valon got ready for an attack, but stopped. "WHAT!!!" yelled Valon while he waits as if he was being talked to. "Well I guess this ends in a draw, Dominic. Master Vile has more important plans for me." Valon then disappeared. Dominic shrugged. "Suit yourself," he said.

While Joe and Sean continued walking, Sean accidentally and unexpectedly sets off another alarm. "Sorry about that," he tells Joe. Then 4 more monsters came out of nowhere. "I can handle this." Sean morphed and began to fight the crazy creatures. "Panther Punch!" Sean knocks back one of the monsters and bursts into a great white light. "So someone has made it to the sanctum," said the same figure from before. "Interesting but I'll wait for more to arrive. I need a challenge." "Thanks Sean," said Joe. "I'm gonna go on ahead." Joe ran on ahead. As he was running a portion of the ground underneath him began to shift. He dived forward and avoided a pit fall opening up. He finally made it to the temple stairwell. As he ran up he found Vile in the sanctum. "Stop right there Vile!" "So, you made it," began Vile. "Though since you are no longer a ranger, I don't think you should be here. Why don't you go back and hang out with your little friend Izabel? Or relax on the beach?"

Then, out of nowhere, the torches in the room started to glow blue and blazed violently. The doors to the opposite side of the temple opened and a man with long dark brown hair dressed in black, ancient cloth clothing with gold embroided patterns entered the room. It was the figure from before. "So two people have made it to the sanctum," he began. "State your name and purpose for being here then we'll see who shall face the final challenge for the Genesis Blade. My name is Caoimhin and I decide who has the right to possess the Genesis Blade." He put on a bronze vambrace on his right arm, which has some patterns on it, then he walked closer to the two. "So you better answer my questions!"

"Ah, you must be the sacred guardian of this temple," began Vile. "I am Master Vile. I used to be the terror of the universe as you have maybe heard, but I've changed my ways. I was brought back from the future for a purpose to save. I wish to accept the blade, but I must say it is an utmost honor just to stand in your presence." "Don't listen to him, he's lying," began Joe. "My name is Joseph and I was chosen to be the Gold Ranger, but then Vile started stealing my powers. He wants the blade to fully take control of these powers and use them for evil." "Ha! An entertaining story, but surely a guardian as great as you know that powers are usually taken once that someone proves to be unworthy. The powers were being transferred to me because they deemed me more worthy than him." "What? This is ridiculous!"

"Although that some powers are transferred to others because the one who possesses them is deemed unworthy..." Caoimhin started as he walked to Master Vile. "Do you really think I would be fooled by an imbecile like you, Master Vile?" "Great guardian, please. I know it seems strange but in the future I became good and I came back to this time to avert a disaster." "I have watched the battles you've had with the rangers and you do not fit the requirements." The torches burned even more wildly then a loud roar was heard in the distance forcing the flames to stream together and create a small vortex behind Vile. "Now return to where you came from!" Caoimhin then did a open palm strike straight into Vile's chest propelling him into the vortex and the vortex disintegrated into the air. Vile was then shot out onto the outskirts of the island. "Ouch! That miserable guardian. I'll make him pay. But first, Valon, your master commands you to destroy the other rangers and this island. Summon you zord!!!"

Meanwhile, Caoimhin then turned to the other challenger. "So, Joseph was it?" he asked. "You're coming with me." Blue flames then engulfed them and after they disappeared they were in a cavern. "Are you ready for the final challenge?" Joseph looked around the massive cavern. It was huge. The cave looked like an ancient sacrificial room. He had a bad feeling. He saw markings in the floor that looks like glyphs, but were in pairs that made them look more like claws. He swallowed hard, then shook of the fear. "I'm ready," he said. "I'm glad you said that but i sense that you fell uneasy." Caoimhin walked over to one side of the cavern. A massive head, shaped like a dog, then appeared in the shadows and dropped two swords into Caoimhin's hands. Then he turned around facing Joseph. "Well you should be as I'm your final challenge." Caoimhin then threw the sword in his left hand at Joseph. Joseph caught the sword. It had a very elaborate hilt where the handle ended in a dog head and each side of the horizontal hilt ended in dog heads as well. "So, we're gonna fight? Is that the only test, or should I worry about one thing at a time?" "This is the only test left but..." Caoimhin then ran towards Joseph at a blinding pace and stopped right in front of him. "...it's not going to be easy!"

Joseph rolled to the side and tried to sweep kick the floor and knock Caoimhin over. Caoimhin got back on his feet. "Well your reflexes are quicker than I thought, but you still aren't that good enough to defeat me," Caoimhin said as he then rushed to Joseph and did an open palm strike into Joseph's chest which knocked him a few feet away. Joseph flew back a few feet and got up with his clothes covered in dirt. "Hmph, not bad." Just then the dog head that dropped the swords then lunged its mouth at Joe since he had gotten too close. He dived away. "Whoa, that was close. Okay Joe, time to pull it together." He ran at Caoimhin, blocked the sword attack then knocked the sword hand to the side and then roundhouse kicked Caoimhin in the neck. Caoimhin was not even distracted with that last hit. "Lets see if you like the same move, Joseph." He instantly roundhouse kicked Joseph in the neck. Joseph fell sideways, but turned it into a roll. He then jumped at Caoimhin. and slashed at him with his blade. But Caoimhin was too fast and Joe only managed to cut a small slice in his robe.

"Hmph, so you wanna use the swords then, fine with me," said Caoimhin as he dragged his Falcata along the ground as he ran towards Joseph then did an upwards slash at him but Joseph blocked it just before the blade made contact with his face. "Show me all of your strength, desire and purpose for being here or you won't defeat me." The two then locked swords. Joseph used his furry and struck at Caoimhin, but he blocked and then knocked the sword out of Joe's hands. Caoimhin put his sword next to Joseph's neck so close that even a simple twitch will cause the main artery in his neck to be severed. "Luckily for you, this fight isn't over yet." Caoimhin lowered his blade then went and picked up the sword Joseph dropped. "You're still not showing your potential." He then throws the sword back to Joseph.

Joseph was sweating a lot. He had to think to himself. Okay Joe get a grip. You can do this. Even though this guy is stronger, faster, more skilled, and had years of experience. Not to mention I don't have my powers at all. But wait. There's one thing I have that he doesn't. I have a purpose. Everyone is counting on me. Izabel, Sean, Kent, Star, Dom, Zedren. Everyone is counting on me to get this Blade. I have to, I must! Joseph ran towards Caoimhin and engaged him in a fierce sword battle. The clanging of steel was ferocious. Joseph then grabbed Caoimhin's blade and then roundhouse kicked him backwards. As Caoimhin got up Joseph put both blades around his neck like a scissor. Joe smiled. Then removed the blades, took five steps back and threw one of the swords where Caoimhin laid. "Looks like we're tied now. Best two out of three?"

Meanwhile, The Nidhog had taken Dominic towards Joseph, and he watched the fight amusingly. "If a megazord gets summoned up, I'll do the fighting!" he said. "Maybe another time," said Caoimhin. "You've finally shown all the requirements needed to go and get the Genesis Blade but now you've just got to get the Blade from Tartarus. Don't worry though it'll be easy." He then opened the doors to Tartarus. "Just so you know you've only seen 30% of my potential." Then he disappeared in a pillar of blue flames. Joseph tried to call after him. "Mind if I keep this sword for protection for the moment?" He was already gone, though. Joseph walked into the large gateway and looked around. The doors immediately slammed behind him. He would of tried to open them but there was no lock or handle, and they were over 100 feet high. "Looks like I'm on my own from here."

He started to walk through the area. I certainly hope this is just a matter of me finding my way and not fighting anything, he thought. He spent 3 minutes climbing over a large rounded wall. As he got over it he noticed strange grooves in the wall. "Wait a second, this isn't a hill!" he yelled. "Oh my God. This is a finger." He started to move away and run down the path. He then came to a large bridge that wasn't a bridge at all, but a large chain over 6 feet wide that spanned at least a 500 foot pit. As he looked around in this open area he could see large Giants the size of mountains chained to the walls. He knew of mythology, especially Greek. He found it interesting. "These must be the Titans. I had heard they were condemned to Tartarus, but I thought it was just a legend. But then again, nothing surprises me anymore. I better continue on." Little did Joseph know that he was being watched by someone, or rather, something. "What's taking Joe so long?" asked Sean. "I'll go check on him." Sean rushed inside and saw nothing. "Joe, where are you?" As Sean began to leave the sanctum, the door closed in front of him. "What the-?" Just then, another monster came out of nowhere and began to attack Sean. Sean morphed and punched the monster against the wall, and it bursts into a bright light.

The door opened again and Sean decided to run out in fear of having to fight another monster. He did so only to see the rangers fighting another group of monsters, 5 to be exact. The door behind him had closed and he saw nowhere to go except into the fight. A blue pillar of fire appeared near the entrance to the sanctum then Caoimhin walked out of it. "Leave these people at once, protectors of the island!" commanded Caoimhin and the monsters began to walk away into the dense forest on the island. "You no longer need to worry about them but you do need to fight that zord over there." He then pointed to them the direction of where the zord was coming from. Meanwhile, Vile, growing impatient, screamed inside Valon's head. "Where are you?" he asked. "I told you to destroy the entire island with your zord. Now summon him." "Yes Master Vile," said Valon as he teleported the rangers out of the sanctum. Valon then raised his hand to the sky. The sky parted and revealed the moon. A large blue beam from the moon shot down at the ground on the ground where Valon stood. A portal from the light opened up, and the Werewolf Megazord rose from it. The Werewolf Megazord towered over the island, and gave out a howl. The island began to shake, and trees began to crumble.

Silver Lycan Zord/Megazord[/align]

Meanwhile, even in the deep reaches of Tartarus, Joseph could feel the earth move and shake around him. "This isn't good," he told himself. "I better hurry up and find this blade." He continued forward. Still unaware of what was going on outside, as well as what was ever presently getting closer to him. Caoimhin watched the Werewolf Megazord very cautiously. "Hope the others can handle this Megazord and I hope he doesn't cause any real damage to this island," he said to himself. Another howl shook the island as the Fenrir Zord stood on a tall mountain, akin to the werewolf zord. "Shall we end this?" Dominic asked politely inside the Fenrir zord. Caoimhin chanted in an ancient language causing ancient monuments and the city to get swallowed into the ground then he walked down the staircase as the temple was moving into the mountain behind it. "Now they can fight," Caoimhin calmly stated. "This is no fun at all," said Vile. "Are we gonna have a staring contest? Let's make things more interesting." He captured one of the 4 foot island guardians and corrupted it and made it grow in size.

"I can't believe Vile would do such a thing to one of the guardians," said Caoimhin as he clenched his fists in anger but then calmed down. "I'll have to leave it to the rangers to take care of the problem." Sean then summoned, and entered the Lio zord, then began to wait until the corrupted guardian gets closer to the waters. "Guys, I need you to get that thing into the waters!" he yells through the com link. Sean waited patiently for the others to start fighting. Star, finally deciding to see for herself the racket that was booming throughout the island, came running to the zords. She looked in horror at the zord and called to Sean, "Call off your Panther! I have an idea!" She morphed and called out, "Pegasus! Serpent Dragon! OMEGA Zord Power!" The Pegasus zord grew to its full size and the Serpent Dragon transported itself to the island as well. "I need Panther for this to work..." She whispered to herself. The guardian ripped out two chain blades ad wrapped themm around Fenrir's legs he then swung him around 3 times and then slammed him into the cliff side.

Sean called off the panther zord and waited patiently for what Star has in hand for the Pegasus and Serpent Dragon zords. "It's all yours Star," he told her. Star nodded to Sean. She looked up and shouted, "Angelus Purity Megazord!" The Panther, Pegasus and Serpent Dragon zords all flew into the sky. With several switching and rearranging, a new zord stood in their place.

[align=center]

Angelus Purity Megazord[/align]

So thats the Angelus Purity Megazord, the amused Caoimhin thought. Lets see how it fights the possessed guardian then. Star, now piloting the megazord, flew into the air. It swiftly glided towards the guardian and swung both swords at it. They missed, but caused it to lose balance. "Go Star!" yelled Sean. "You can do it. Finish that crazy thing off!" The guardian threw its chain blades at the Angelus megazord and tried to pull it back onto the ground. But the Angelus megazord was far too strong, and one of the guardians blades snapped off. After breaking the blade, Star made the Megazord spin around, causing the whip to wrap around the guardian. She then gave a mighty swing of the sickle, which crashed hard on it. The mighty sickle embedded itself deep into the guardians flesh. Its arm then slumped down. However, the ancient rags it wore clung tight and managed to keep the arm in place, though not for long. The threads were becoming weak and couldn't last that long. Releasing the possessed guardian, Star landed on the ground. She filled the whip with power. She slashed it across the guardian. However, it moved a little backwards and ended up with a shallow cut on the chest.

"I should be the one to destroy the guardian seeing as though they were under my command," said Caoimhin as he then chanted some ancient language again. Multiple loud roars shook the very core of the island then a large portal appeared from nowhere. Then 3 large blue fireballs soared through the air and spiraled together to create the most immense fireball then went straight into the guardian. The body was burnt to nothingness by the intense heat of the fireball. Just then Vile saw this immense show of power as well as the new megazord. "I don't like this one bit," he began. "Valon, conserve your strength for the next fight. Allow me to show these Rangers how its done." The Lycan Zord's eyes glowed bright red, it let out a loud roar that shook the island. The zord the leaped into the air, grabbed a hold of the Angelus megazord and threw it into the Fenrir zord. "Thank you master," said Valon as he then lowered his head, and when into a state of unconsciousness.

After the thrashing, Star got up and shook off the damage. "Uh guys, a little help?" she asked. She flew the Angelus megazord up into the sky and aerial dived with the sickle in front. It hit the Werewolf zord squarely in the chest, making it fall back. The werewolf zord was tossed backwards by the ferocity of the blow. However, it quickly jumped back up on its feet. It gave a loud howl, then dug its claws into the ground and blasted a fire ball at the Angelus. It collided into the animus with a huge burst. Luckily the new megazord could take quite a beating. Caoimhin chanted again and caused a fireball to directly hit the Werewolf Megazord. "Vile leave this island now or face the beast that guards the island!" yells Caoimhin. Vile laughed. "'Beast that guards the island'," he began. "That's rich. You would do well to not underestimate the power of Master Vile my tunic clad friend." Caoimhin rushed over to Vile and put his Falcata against Vile's neck. "Don't underestimate my power Vile. Not even I know what my true potential is." Vile laughed again. "My dear boy. You're quite impulsive for a follower of Zordon. What happened with patience?" "I have a lot of patience, I just want this fight over and done with before any more damage is caused to this island." "You see there we are agreed upon my friend. I want this pointless fight to be over with as well." Just then Sean felt strange, and his armor started to vanish.

"I know what you were thinking as well as what Joseph probably thought," Vile began. "By having the Pegasus here you could prevent me from corrupting the Lio zord. And well that is true you forget, there's more than one way to skin a cat. So, thanks to Sean being so Gung-Ho with his powers, he never stopped to realize that I was still stealing the Gold Ranger powers. So it doesn't matter if I can't corrupt the Lio zord, I know own the Lio zord and the powers. So there is no need to corrupt it, since its mine. And now, Lio zord, Primevil Megazord formation." The Lio zord shot out of the water and formed the Primevil megazord. It also manages to summon the raptor, and sabertooth zords and corrupt them as well. The Stego zord was still safe for now. Caoimhin kept his Falcata's blade next to Vile's neck. I'm sorry guys that I can't do anything to stop the zords, and I hope you can fend them off till young Joseph gets back, he prayed in his mind.

Meanwhile, as Joseph looked around and continued on in Tartarus he heard a booming voice. "So, I have a visitor," said a voice. "Who's there?" asked Joe. Just then one of the cliff walls moved a bit and Joseph realized it was a leg. He looked up and a massive 4 armed giant looked down at him. "Oh, I'm sorry, I almost stepped on you," said the giant. "Hold on a second. I'll be right down." The massive giant shrunk down to Joseph's size. "Sorry, this is the smallest I can go. So, state your name and purpose." "My name is Joseph. And I'm here to find the Genesis Blade. I already beat the guardian Caoimhin and now I must find my way through here." "Well, it's certainly been a long time since someone tried. I'm surprised you made it this far. Most people either can't survive the physical trials or get killed. By the way, allow me to introduce myself. I am Atlas." "Atlas?!? So I was right. The Titans and Olympians did exist, I mean do. And those things on the walls are titans as well. I always thought you were supposed to hold up the world or something." "You have many questions my friend. Yes, those are my titan brethren. I'm glad you called them Olympians and not Gods. For they weren't. They were not immortal, nor so virtuous. As far as me holding the earth, well I was condemned to be trapped and chained down here between the crushing pressure. But a great man by the name of Zordon returned a portion of my magic and freed me. As long as I protect this blade." "So you know where the blade is?" "Oh, the blade is here. Don't get me wrong, but you must do that on yourself. All I can tell you is that in the darkest hour, light will always shine. And the power will always protect you." "And that is supposed to mean...?" "Who knows. But Zordon told me to tell anyone who made it this far that, in return, I get my freedom. I'm still in Tartarus, but at least I'm not chained under the crushing pressure. By the way, the one you faced above. He has the powers of Hades within him. And um, don't tell him that Zordon set me free down here. Since it was Hades who actually was partially responsible for my death or rather taking my soul. Each one of the mini guardians have a portion of the power he had to steal souls. Allow me to show you." Atlas then projected his memories into Joseph's head. "I had saved my brother Cronus only to fall victim to the same attack. He ripped my soul from my body and Zeus transported my lifeless corpse here. And I awoke in this torment. So please do not tell anyone of my presence here. Go on Joseph, and finish your mission. I shall be with you in spirit if you should ever need." And Atlas departed.

"Come on Stego!" yelled Kent as the Stego Zord smashed the boulder that always seemed to come back into place with its large tail. "Now, let's take him down!" Then Kent, piloting the Stego, rushed the werewolf zord and, at max speed with the thrusters, knocked him down. Dom paused. "This makes no sense anymore," he said. "Who should I be attacking? Who's my friend? My enemy?" He held his head in annoyance when he felt something calling to him in the ocean. Marks appeared across his skin and he demorphed. The Fenrir zord disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Dom started to feel pain from all over his body and he dropped to his knees, gasping for air. He crawled towards the ocean, but before he could make it he dropped on the beach lifeless. Loki opened a portal from the Ragnarok monument on the island and stepped to Dominic. He lifted him up by the collar of his neck. "Do you know who I am?" Loki asked. Dominic paused. "A murderer!" "No. I am Loki." "So?!" "You murder countless gods! You're Fenrir's father!" "No," said Fenrir. "What?!" "I AM your father." Dominic's mouth gaped for a moment. He felt like he died and gone to hell and back.

Star, suddenly finding herself outmatched looked thunderstruck. "Bad enough I have to deal with the Werewolf, but now the Primevil zord?" she asked. She looked around apprehensively. "Well, let's try something new then." She flew into the sky and emitted a warm light. "Luminous Purity!" The light enveloped both Werewolf and Primevil megazords, temporarily blinding their senses. The Primevil Megazord and the Werewolf zord struggled to regain sight. They both tried to attack. The Primevil Megazord tried to swing its drill tail at the Angelus megazord but missed. The Lycan zord tried to grab the Stego zord, but missed and got slapped by the Stego tail. Dominic struggled, near to tears. "You're lying!" he yelled. "You killed my father." Loki dropped him and dismounted Fenrir. "No, I am not lying," says Loki as he pulls out a large crescent blade from his gauntlet. "Come, my son, we shall duel here, to decide who is the last one standing." "No, I-I can't." "Yes you can my son, you can." "I'm not your son! Fenrir is your son!" "You ARE Fenrir..."

Taking advantage of the slight chance, Star detached the Panther's head from the megazord's shoulder and placed it in front of the sickle. She then pulled the whip like a string, causing a large mass of energy to fill the empty space. "Luminous Arrow Cannon!" Several small arrows blasted at high speeds towards the two. The Primevil zord was hit several times, but still standing strong. The Werewolf zord crouched down, avoiding it all together.

Meanwhile as Joseph continued onwards, he saw the blade up ahead on an altar in the arm of a statue. He looked at the statue. It was amazingly detailed. The sword in its arm had to be the blade. He grasped for it. And it shattered. "What?" he asked himself. The stone statue then crumbled as well. He look on the altar and saw there was some writing on it, it was very ancient, but luckily Joe had taken ancient languages in college. It said:

I am all that remains. This is all a cruel trick.

As Joseph read this he looked down at the statue and saw the piece in his hand and then realized, it wasn't a statue. It was... Just then something wrapped around him and flung him across the room. As he stood up he heard a hissing noise. As he looked he saw a decayed mummified snake like creature coming towards him. It had a serpentine body, protruding ribs from its chest and a triangular head with snakes all over it. "What in all of God's creation...is that a...a Gorgon?" It then looked at Joseph and its eyes started to glow green. Joseph dived out of the way as the creature shot a green fog light blast at him, as Joseph recovered he noticed the creature was still following him with that same vision attack, he kept rolling and moving, all the while feeling his body become hard and rigid. The creature finally stopped and Joseph felt his body go back to normal. It then lunged at him with both claws and slashed him across the chest. "Ahhhh!" The creature then wrapped its coils around him and hit him at point blank range with the blast. Joseph was now a statue.

Meanwhile, the Primevil Megazord recovered and then stood very still. It's head on its chest then roared loudly shaking the island. It then opened its mouth and it started gathering energy. Draining it from the very island itself, as well as all present zords. Vile then laughed. "That's it my beast!" he yells. Use the same attack you used to destroy planets." Dom grabbed sand and threw it at Loki to distract him, but he simply kept on, arching the sword back. "Show your true self!" Loki yelled. "No!" Dom roared back, feeling the anger well up inside him. "Oh? Why? Do you fear hurting the one you love?" "SHUT UP!" Dom continued to stumble back. Loki brought the butt of the blade to Dom's head and he fell grabbing his head in pain. "You failed me son. I gave you a chance." "WHAT CHANCE?!" Dom roared back. "The chance to live, to live your life." "I never had a chance, especially with you!" Loki paused, and held his blade upright. It grew flames. "We shall see who cares about you then."

While Joseph was frozen in stone, he could still sense the world around him and see through a murky film. He thought to himself, I can't believe it ends like this. All this for nothing. I should of never help Star and Andros back then. Maybe I should of joined Vile and kept my powers. At least I'd be able to hold something back against the rangers. Wait. What the heck am I saying. I have to get out of here. If that thing attacks me like this I'm done for. I have to break free, for the others, for Izabel, for everyone. I have to!!!!!!!! Just then a gold light shone from the cracks starting to form in the Joseph statue. The Gorgon slinked back in disgust. Joseph then broke out of the stone with a gold aura around him. He simply smirked at the hideous creature. "You know, I'm probably gonna have this stiff neck for a week. You're gonna pay for that." The creature then started its gorgon's gaze attack again, but this time Joseph rolled towards it and drop kicked its head upwards onto one of the steel chains suspended across the ceilings holding the titans. The chain became very frail and snapped, which caused one end to snap into the ceiling and hit a stalactite and cause it to fall. Joseph then rolled backward as the massive stalactite impaled the gorgon. Green blood oozed out. Joseph smirked. Just then as the green blood touched the shattered blade a green light appeared which then turned blue. And a face appeared. It was left of the spirit of Zordon. "You have proven yourself worthy Joseph," said Zordon. "Take the Genesis Blade and stop Vile. We shall speak again. May the Power Protect you." A portal opened and Joseph picked up the blade. As he did it changed in his hand to the most amazing weapon he'd ever seen. His gold ranger armor then returned to him at full power. He laughed. "Good to be back. Hold on guys, I'm coming. I hope I'm not too late."

Meanwhile in a further reach of the cavern, Zordon spoke to Atlas. "Atlas, you have served your purpose. You are completely free. I undo the sentence that Zeus placed on you. You may leave this wretched place when you see fit."

Meanwhile back where Joseph had exited another hissing sound was heard. Another gorgon like creature slithered up to her fallen spawn. This one was larger, more muscular and even more grotesque than the last. It lifted the fallen ones hand and saw that it was limp and noticed the blood all around. Her eyes glowed red with that same misty vision. She shrieked loudly and then saw the portal Joseph had left from, and then quickly slithered into it before it closed.

The Stego zord hit the Primevil megazord with its tremendous tail and it fell to the ground and created a boom that sounded like several thousand thunder clouds going off at once. The Primevil megazord rose up with still a partial charge in its mouth and fired it at the Stego and Angelus megazord. The blast was so strong it discharge the systems and the zords flew apart. Kent, Star and Sean were all blasted out of their zords and laid on the ground. "I'm sure Zedren gave you the same rules Zordon always gave," he began. "'Never escalate a fight', meaning, never use a zord against a small foe. Well, I have no such prohibition." Vile then laughed again. "Primevil megazord, crush them." The megazord was about to smash the rangers when the foot stopped, just a few feet above their heads. "I told you to crush them. Do it now!" It began to raise its leg once more and then turned around and swung its tail at the Lycan zord, slamming it into the mountain. "What's wrong with you? Who dares defy Master Vile?"

"Well sunshine, that would be me, said a voice from behind Vile. Up on top of one of the cliff faces of the mountain, Joe stood in his Gold Ranger outfit with his powers fully restored. "How is this possible?" asked Vile. "I stole your power after you gave them to Sean. How?" Joe then held up the blade. "With a little help from this," said Joe as he then charged the blade and sent a blade of pure energy at the Primevil megazord and destroyed Vile's insignia once and for all. The zord then regain its natural color. However, the head didn't retract and the tail was still active. "Super Primal Megazord, Activate!!" The eyes glowed gold and took its stance. Joe then jumped down to the others and helped them up. "Sorry I'm late guys. What do you say we finish the job?" "Let's do this!" yelled Sean as he remorphed and entered the megazord before the transformation.

Star looked up. "That's simply...incredible," she said, astonished. "I didn't know the blade had the power to do that..." She was still dumbfounded. "Oh well..." She straightened up. "Back to action!" She morphed and caused the Pegasus zord to once again glide over battle. The Serpent dragon zord laid it's head on the Pegasus zord and both opened their mouths. Star shouted from the Pegasus zord, "Shining Crescent Blaster!" Both of them shot out a heavy beam of light, which blew the Werewolf zord off its feet and knocked it back several miles. All in one swift motion, Loki brought the blade down and then sheathed it. "That settles that, now for the genesis blade." He mounted Sleipnir once more and trotted away, leaving his son dead. "Nice shot Star! Let's finish this beast off. Primal Force Cannon." The mouth started to glow and gather energy, but this time it was more controlled. But just then... "We'll finish this another time," said Vile. The Lycan zord howled and then shot off in a beam of light. "Let's head home guys. I'm sure you got a lot of questions. But first I have to go see someone."

The vegetation and buildings returned since the fight had ended. Joseph then again climbed his way back up to the temple with everyone else. As the guardians popped out along the way, Joseph held up the blade and they all backed off. They finally got to the temple. Joseph stepped forward into the empty room and called out, "Caoimhin, thanks for all your help, but I fear things can always get worse. We need the help of someone like you. Are you here? Can you hear us?" Caoimhin appeared in a pillar of flames in front of them then threw a wooden flute at Joseph. "You did well Joseph," said Caoimhin. "If you need me just get someone to play this flute, and I will answer to the call." "Thank you so much. So, you will stay on this island for now? You don't want to live at the base with the others?" "Maybe another time but first I need to restore the island to it's former glory." "Very well then. Thanks again." They then departed. As the rangers headed back down the shore line then climbed up, they found Dominic's lifeless body and they rushed over.

Joseph knelt down by Dom and saw the blade wound. "It must of been Loki," he began. Who else has a blade like that? Even though him and I started off badly, he was a good guy." Sean knelt down in front of Dom and sighed of sadness. "You fought well, Dominic," he said. "If only you were still alive, I would be by your side when I can." Sean stood up again and turned his back. Kent was choking up and to hide the fact, he stayed absolutely silent. The only sounds in the entire area was the crashing of the waves in the background. Star stared at the body, not registering what she's seeing. She slowly knelt towards it and then, in a rasp of emotion, grabbed him by his shirt. "WHY?!" she screamed. Star was crying by now. "WHY MUST YOU CONSTANTLY LEAVE?!" She bent over as if in pain and sobbed over his chest. Joe stood up. "Loki's gonna pay for this. Let's head home everyone. Let's take Dom with us. He deserves a proper burial." Caoimhin, at a distance, looked at them all seeing Dom dead. "Looks like what Cronus foretold is happening," he told himself. "That means that..." He sighed to himself. Before Sean left the shoreline, he sensed Caoimhin's presence, but ignored it and entered the Pegasus zord. Unwillingly, she helped move Dominic's body into the Pegasus zord. "I just... want him near... for now." She let the Serpent Dragon teleport back to the base. The Pegasus gave a shuddering moan, as if in connection with her owner. It flew off, next to the Lio zord, towards home. The rangers traveled back to base and and informed the rest what happened.They gave Dom a proper burial and continued on.

Thanks, and the last two paragraphs of that episode will be posted shortly.

It seems that the longest ever has reached its limit. Here's the climax.

[spoiler=[b]Episode 10: Genesis(Second Half)[/b]]

March 16, 2010 ~ Neo-Omega Base

Zedren told Joseph that the Genesis Blade is connected to consciousness and will. Meaning that as long as Joseph wills it, the blade cannot be taken. If Joseph should ever drop the blade, it will disappear. And then reappear once called. He supposed that the blade may as well return the Lio zord into its original form The current Lio zord is its dormant form, the true form, and the one Vile and him fought over, and based Serpentera on, was much stronger and larger, but that knowledge will be revealed in time. He also didn't like the idea of this new Lycan ranger, and with Vile angry about losing the blade, there's no telling what he may do next.

Meanwhile, in another unknown location, Loki chuckled. "Oh those emotions," he spoke to himself. "Little do they know what they are doing..." The sea rumbled. A cluster of tentacles flew and whipped at anything in the air. "WHERE IS MY MASTER?!" yelled a voice, possibly from the tentacle figure in the water. "LOKI, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Loki laughed. "Why do you ask when what has already happened is what you had been viewing the whole time. I killed Dominic, but it was because he denied being my son." "I SHALL RETURN WITH A VENGEANCE!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THE DEATH OF HOST!!" Then the tentacles returned to the depths. Loki chuckled again, but slowly became a hard laugh. "One down, 3 handfuls to go!" Loki laughed harder than ever before.

Let's hope this one hadn't go beyond its limit. Enjoy.

[spoiler=[b]Episode 11: Ranger Black: The Awakening[/b]]

March 17, 2010 ~ Master Vile's Lair

Vile shakes his fist into the air, then finally speaking, "Curse them! Curse those multicolored power brats. They cost me my birthright and furthermore they stole the blade from right under me!" He shot a beam, which broke down several walls. "And then there's that bumbling ranger of mine Valon! You would think his zord would be powerful enough, BUT NO! It was nearly beaten!" He started to fume. "Good help is so hard to find these days!" He paced around his little space and started to again. "You would think that these utter children would be easy to defeat, and yet they give me an everlasting headache. I should go down there myself and-" Before he finished, a Striker appeared before him. "WHAT IS IT?! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M RANTING!" The Striker cowered and spoke in an incomprehensible language. Vile looked thoughtful, the anger somewhat draining. "Ah, so Dominic is gone. And by Loki's hand no less! I should really thank him properly next time." He looked at the earth with a sinister grin. "It's time to get more monsters! We shall launch our most ferocious attacks yet!' He laughed, his vengeance towards the rangers still fuming.

Vile sat in his throne, thinking and scheming of many ways to get to the rangers. "Hm, I need something especially nasty," he began. "Something horrible. Something like..." He paused. "Hm, I seem to recall a certain presence on that Island." He waved his hand and the Island was in view. "Ah yes, the almighty Gorgon. A powerfully horrid monster such as that would give the rangers a run for their money." He shifted his attention towards the temple. "I'll need to keep that ridiculous guardian occupied though." He banged his staff. "Strikers! Go and play with our little friend!"

March 17, 2010 ~ Island of Creation: Inner Sanctum

15 Strikers appeared around Caoimhin. "Now this is entertainment!" he yelled with excitement. He started to teleport the Gorgon, which was taking some time due to it's power. "Soon rangers. Soon." Why does Vile want to attack me? Caoimhin thought as he became surrounded by Strikers. One Striker came at him ready to attack but Caoimhin unsheathed his Falcata and did an upwards slash cutting the Striker in half. Five more Strikers attacked Caoimhin at once but he just smiled and spun round in a circle slicing their throats then did a dragon tail kick knocking the Striker's heads clean off. Caoimhin charged at the Strikers and thrusted his blade into one of his foe's abdomen then pull it out of the body and kicked the Striker into the others. Three of them came at him still but he just chanted something and fire in the torches of the temple streamed through the air and incinerated them with it's heat.

March 17, 2010 ~ Neo-Omega Base

The alarm sounded and Star looked at the computer. "Nothing on Earth, and nothing in our Solar System..." She paused. "Zedren, does the Scanner pick up universal signals?" Zedren looked at her thoughtfully. "Honestly I never tried," he replied as they both started hitting keys, unable to determine where the signal was coming from.

Meanwhile, the Gorgon was nearly transferred to Vile. Only a couple of seconds until..."YES!" he yells as the Gorgon reappeared in front of Vile. "Ah, my lovely creature, let's make you a tad more presentable..." He raised his staff and the Gorgon grew and shifted. A woman stood in its place. "Ah, the mighty Medusa. How nice to see you again. It's been what, about 4000 years since you and I last wreaked havoc?" The woman nodded. "It's been about that, yes," said Medusa. "I have been a tad, preoccupied with being sealed inside that shell you know." She spat at the ground. "So Vile, what exactly did you want from me?" Vile chuckled. "My dear, I just need you to destroy the Power Rangers. I know they may seem like nothing, but they are indeed troublesome." The wicked woman laughed. "Children giving you trouble? You must be slipping Vile." She gave him one last look and was gone, waiting for her prey.

Back at the base, Kent was somehow having a bad dream that could possibly be reality. "Well, if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna go spend the day with Izabel," he told the others. "She's probably been worried sick." "Wait Joe," began Ecliptor. "Just wondering but where's the blade? Shouldn't it be kept in a safe place?" "Definitely, thats why its staying with me." "With you? Where are you gonna hide it? It's not exactly small." "Like this..." He extends his hand and the blade immediately appears in it. "Nice huh. Zedren told me its controlled by will. And according to Iza I'm the most hardheaded person she knows." He laughs. "So I guess the blade is in God's hands. See ya later Ecliptor." Joe then leaves and meets up with Iza. They plan on going shopping, dinner, then sitting at home and watching a movie.

Back at the Island of Creation, Caoimhin struck his sword at one of the remaining Strikers then walked over to the three thats left and sheathed his sword. One on the right attacked and managed to rip the sleeve of his cloth shirt, Caoimhin just punched it in the face breaking it's skull then he did a side kick at another one sending him through the temple doors and crashing down on the stairway leading up to the temple. The last remaining Striker was left standing in the temple, Caoimhin just walked up to it and grabbed it's neck. "You better explain to me why you attacked this temple again," he told the Striker. The Striker disappeared and Vile spoke directly to Caoimhin. He laughs. "You pitiful excuse for a guardian!" he began, "I sent those bothersome bumbling nitwits to keep you from ruining my lovely plan. But for now, I suppose its time to raise some mayhem on Earth." He faded out while still laughing. Caoimhin just calmly walked to the center of the temple and created a small wormhole and walked into it. When he exited the other side of the wormhole he saw the man he needed to see. "I hope you are Zedren?" Caoimhin asked.

Meanwhile, Medusa, curious about some of the Rangers, waited for Vile. Upon his arrival, she spoke, "I have an excellent idea Vile. Why not send me into that ranger's dreams? I'll ensure he'll never awaken!" Vile looked thoughtfully at her, then saw who she was talking about. "Ah! Young Kent. Wonderful idea my malice infused maiden." Vile paced around. "But we must prepare you." He began chanting in an ancient language, only few of which knew.

Back on Earth, Kent thrashed about, having a horrible dream. Or was it? The dream became increasingly clear and a voice called out to Kent. Bravest of heart, you are going to face the most perilous of all your previous trials. The voice trailed away, leaving a Stairway of light opening to Kent, at least in his dream, not in real life. Kent decided to follow the stairway, only to find an amazing sight. There was a beautiful woman to his left and a Metallic shield to his right. Kent guessed, correctly, that he had to pick between the two. The woman Kent looked at had long brown hair covering most of her face. She wore a long white silk dress that went from just below her shoulders down past her feet and sprawled out on the floor around her. Around her waist where some golden strands of chains for ornamentation. She wore a gold necklace with a snake charm with emerald green eyes around her neck.

[align=center]

Medusa Form 1[/align]

Suspended around them was a warped temple structure. The walls were lined with moss and metal and the space around some places were glowing. The floor opened at the stairs to reveal a swirling vortex. It was clear the wrong choice would leave you in peril. The woman gestured Kent forward, giving a seductive smile to him. All the while, the shield shone brighter. The woman ignored this and kept looking at Kent. Kent was mesmerized by both the woman and the shield and walked toward the woman, but the shield grew too bright and the woman's true form was revealed.

As Kent approached he noticed that the woman's skin seemed to melt off. He hair went from very shiny and smooth, to having numerous split ends and looked like it had a mind or minds of its own. Her nails began to elongate and become jagged. The shield's radiance burned into her and her dress became ripped and elongated. One of her eyes became severely scarred and the pupil on her other eye became very dilated. Her mouth began to swell and revealed a second layer of jaws that could elongate and dislocate her jaw and jagged teeth. Her shoulder became dislocated and only showed veins and taunt flesh.

[align=center]

Medusa Form 2[/align]

Completely disgusted and blinded by the shield's glare, Kent turned his head around and, approached the shield. He picked it up and it felt as if it was made for him. He realized that the shield hurt the woman/creature so he turned it around charring the woman. The thing still managed to survive and lunged at Kent and held him down to the ground. The shield was still glaring and blinded Kent and burning the woman. The woman was losing her grip and Kent took the chance to release himself and grab the shield, burning the woman even more intensely. After a few minutes, the woman was a pile of ash and Kent woke up. "Wow," he began. "What a strange dream. But, if it was a dream, how did this get here?" Kent looked beside his bed in Base and saw the very shield he dreamed about. He also felt a bit more powerful.

It turns out that Medusa only turned to ash in Kent's dream when it turns out Vile made Medusa fall asleep and think of the one who she wanted to enter dreams into. Medusa screamed and awoke in Vile's lair. "VILE!" Her shriek was intense. Vile came around, with a grin on his face. "Not so easy is it then my reptilian friend?" She hissed at him. "That ranger has that cursed shield! How am I supposed to destroy him now?!" Vile chuckled. "Oh don't look at me." He couldn't help himself. "I lost my touch remember?" She started screaming again. "OH FORGET IT! I'LL FIND A WAY MYSELF!" She slithered out, fuming. She appeared on the outskirts of the city and screamed, "COME OUT YOU WRETCHED BRAT!" Vile looked down. "Ah, her temper will be her downfall. I suppose I should keep the other rangers busy." He turned towards the city. "Strikers, cause as much destruction as possible!" The Strikers nodded and the next moment, 20 Strikers ran rampant downtown.

Back at the base, Zedren just nodded in response to Caoimhin's question. "You should know that I was just attacked by some of Vile's pathetic Strikers but for what reason I do not know but I think it will eventually involve the rangers," warned Caoimhin then he just walked back into the wormhole and it closed itself behind him.

Meanwhile Joe and Iza were enjoying their day together. Joe was happy to have a rest from all the madness. He had a strange feeling things were gonna get worse. And he should get in all the relaxation he could at the moment.

The alarm sounded with only Kent at base. "Man, I just got a nap in," said Kent, yawning. "Oh well." He teleported down to the city, fully morphed and saw the woman he had seen in his dreamed and stared at her in terror. He stumbled in place and the shield, which he left at base, appeared in his hand as if by magic. "I love being a ranger!" He charged at her with the shield which did nothing and somehow her gaze alone harmed him. "Who are you?!" asked Kent. "Isn't it obvious?" "No." Medusa sighed. "Maybe you need to know more Greek mythology. I am Medusa." "Who?" "Forget it!" Kids today have no will to learn, she thought. Kent drop kicked Medusa. She got back up and ran toward Kent who, as if he had a spider sense or something, turned and elbowed her to the ground. "You think that you can take me?" She gave a cold laugh. "You are about a millenia or two out of your league boy." She whipped around, and Kent was thrown backwards. Kent ran from the ever-powerful Medusa and after he was far enough, he charged at her but she was so quick she dodged Kent and he fell behind her. She laughed evermore. "See. Now you and that pathetic shield will be erased from existence!" She picked him up with her tail and was about to strike. Sensing the moment, Kent drop-kicked her in the face, making her stumble back.

"Hm..." said Vile as he was overlooking the battle. "That little pest is actually holding his own against one of the most frightening monsters in existence." He paced around. "That incompetent son-in-law of mine actually did something right, how irritating." He sat at his throne. Shaking his staff, he muttered a few incantations. "Now Medusa, unleash your full force!" Back on Earth, Medusa started to glow a sickly shade of green. "Yes, Master Vile." She lunged at Kent, which knocked him a few inches off the ground, but he gained his footing and was grappling with her. Meanwhile Joe and Iza were still enjoying their date. "I hope the others are okay," he told himself. Kent responded to the attack by jumping in the air and doing a diving kick, which Medusa dodged and caused Kent to fall to the floor. Medusa sharpened her claws, which were seeped in poison. She shrieked and slashed at Kent. He ducked and she hit the ground. The surrounding flowers bent over and turned to dust in seconds.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin appeared on the roof of a building some distance away from the battle and watched the fight. "So that's what Vile wanted," he told himself. "It also seems like Cronus is predicting right about the future events it seems." Caoimhin just keep low to watch the fight for a bit. While Joe and Iza were hanging out, they decided to NOT watch any TV or turn on any Radios, or go on the computers. They have no way of knowing this is occurring right now. They were just watching DVD after DVD and playing cards.

Back at the base, Star scanned the globe, unable to find any distress. "You now, it sort of worries me that our sensors can't detect anything happening near the Bermuda Triangle," she said as she scanned it, but turned up nothing. "I'll have to try something different, maybe use Eric's quantum power to break through the force that's blocking it." She was already out of hearing range. Zedren chuckled. "That area always annoys her," he told himself. Katherine walked from behind him. "True, but she does seem motivated," she said as she smiled.

Elsewhere Medusa slithered toward Kent. "Your friends can't sense where we are." As she spoke, her glowing grew in size and engulfed both of them. "Now, be DESTROYED!" She lunged at him with high speed, pinning him on the floor. She then laughed.

Meanwhile, Vent was with Gargantia in his lair after days of rigorous training. Vent, it is time, said Gargantia. "You mean-" Yes. It's time to take down the Ranger Base. We attack tomorrow. Get ready. Vent prepared for the plot to overthrow his former allies. He made sure nothing would go wrong.

Kent, in a fit of rage screamed, "GET OFF ME!" He then kicked Medusa into the air with a most powerful kick, then ran to where his shield dropped. His dream told him he had to use it to defeat her and ran, full speed into her with the shield as she landed. The only things that actually landed were ashes from all the burns she had suffered. She is now ash, so she won't ever be seen again. Kent then saw 15 Strikers. He called the rangers for help with the strikers. "Guys. We have a Striker, I wouldn't say problem, but something. I want to show you something, so hurry." Joe and Iza decided to order a pizza, when he got the call. "Um, Iza, I just got a little something to take care of," he told her. "I'll be back in a hurry. I promise." "Okay, just hurry back," she replied. Joe then ran to where Kent was and morphed in mid run. "Hey buddy, whats up? Hope I didn't miss much." "Nope. You didn't miss anything." Star, glad to hear from Kent, nodded to Zedren, who smiled. "I'll keep looking, you go help him," said Zedren. Star morphed and arrived to the scene right behind Joe. "Hm, lone Strikers?" she asked herself. "I thought Vile would be sending a monster our way..."

Meanwhile, Caoimhin still watching everything some distance away, "Well done young ranger," he began. "I hope you can keep up to that standard and even progress more in all of your abilities in your future battles ahead." He then continued to analyze the others as they was about to fight some Strikers.

Kent, using the new-found power of the Stego Shield, destroyed 10 strikers at once with no problem. "I would of taken them all out, but you guy deserve some fun after a long day," he told them. Then Sean's teleportation mist came before Kent made that attack and appeared to see what Kent did. "Impressive," said Sean. "Let me take care of some of these things, Kent." Sean morphed and ran to the Strikers. "Spirit of the Panther!" The attack destroyed 3 strikers without Sean ever breaking a sweat. "Easy. You can handle the rest Star." "Sweet weapon," said Joe. "Kent, you get to have all the fun. I was gonna try out the Genesis Blade, but 2 Strikers don't deserve it." With a hurling kick she knocked the Strikers to the ground, causing them to evaporate. "Hm, Kent," she began. "That was pretty cool..." She looked at the smoking ashes and the withered remains. "Maybe you should tell us the whole story, over dinner maybe?" The rangers teleported to the base, and Kent told the entire story, about Medusa and such.

[spoiler=[b]Episode 12: Ranger Orange: The Encounter[/b]]

March 17, 2010 ~ Sydney Docks

It was at Sidney docks, boats were being flung out of the water and smashing into buildings. A lone man stood against a tall building, holding a microphone. "And here we have it! Something is throwing boats at the city. No one knows what though!" Someone screams in the background. "RUSSIANS!" The reporter sighs and slowly face-palms while a cruise ship flies over, crashing into a tall skyscraper, bending it over to collapse on itself. The attacks at Sidney had stopped and the military deemed it to be a tsunami. Meanwhile, a lone cruise ship sails across the Bermuda. The captain sighs. "Let's hope we don't run into trouble today." He spoke too soon.

Large Tentacles reached up from under the water and wrapped around the boat, putting an immense amount of force on it. A huge skyscraper sized creature emerges from the water, it's presence causing a whirlpool to form around it. You humans! Idiotic beasts that killed my master, I shall kill all and everyone of you... At this moment the tentacles crushed the boat and dispersed, watching the people on board drown under the wreckage. A voice boomed in the Kraken's head. "KRAKEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Njord? What is it that you want? "I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU ARE KILLING HUMANS?!" They killed Fenrir. "So? Thank God that demon beast is dead." You will burn in the Trenches of- "I can't burn underwater. In fact, I'm the God of the seas, I think if anyone would burn underwater, it would be you." May I just exact my vengeance? Without you nagging? "Why don't you crush his friends?" Why? "Well if you think of it this way, if they were faster with their 'quest' Fenrir would be alive, wouldn't he?" You're actually right for once. "I told you, jee- EXCUSE ME?!?!"

As the Kraken swam to the ranger base he brushed past several nuclear submarines. They exploded with nuclear energy and the Kraken paused. Those blasts poisoned me, I should rest a while. He slowly descended. At the base, the base alarm went off showing a tidal wave that's about to hit the base. "Joe, can you stop that thing?" Sean asked. "I don't know," said Joe. "But I'll try. Time to see how much I'm back in control." He stretched out his arm and summoned the Genesis Blade. He then held it up with both hands and spoke through the blade. Liopleurodon zord, a massive wave is approaching the base. It along with much of the city will be destroyed. You must stop it now.

The Blade glowed, not as brightly as it could as if another command was expected, and the Lio zord took action. It quickly swam out of the base and made some strange movement, as if its nature told it to do something else, yet was not powerful enough to still do it. Its eyes then glowed gold, along with the blade and then the Jormundgar zords eyes also glowed gold as if the Lio zord had communicated to it for assistance. The two massive beasts burst from the water about 500 yards apart from each other. They then both fired 2 massive energy blasts at a 45 degree angle out to sea. When the blasts collided they made a massive explosion which created an equally massive wave in the opposite direction. The two waves collided and canceled each other out. A mist of sea water rained down for miles due to the collision. "Hm, strange," said Joe. "It seemed like the Lio zord originally had something different planed. Oh well, plan B was pretty awesome." "Good job, Joe. Good idea of using the Genesis Blade. I'm going out. Any you guys want something while I'm gone?" "I'm good," said Kent. "I just got a new power and faced one of my most difficult enemies ever. I think that's enough." Joe laughed and said, "Yeah, you definitely deserve one buddy. I've got a feeling I've got a lot to understand about this Blade. I'm gonna go talk with the Lio zord to see if it can tell me anything. For that matter I should also ask Zedren if he knows anything. But I think I'm really gonna have to talk to Caoimhin again to really figure things out." A few minutes later, Joe walked in with a beach bag, swim trunks, and sunglasses on. "Hey guys, whats going on?"

Maybe I should just relax, Sean thought after he had left. Meanwhile, Gargantia believes that he should use his Gargantian Strikers to get rid of Sean. Back on earth, Sean sensed something bad was about to happen. So he hid, morphed, and waited for that "something" to happen. After a minute, 5 Gargantian Strikers surrounded Sean. He spin kicked one back. It landed on the floor and turned to sand.

Meanwhile, Joe and Iza were at the beach along with Andros and Ashley. After what happened last time, they figured double dating in public was safer. Just then a buzzer sounded on Ashley, Andros, and Joe's watches. "I think someone's phone is ringing," said Iza. Ashley laughed. "I guess we all got the same phones," she said. She picks up. Then hangs up and says something to Andros. She then turns and says, "Hey I've got a great idea. I hear there this really great new restaurant in town. How bout Izabel and I go shopping and get some stuff and then you two can make reservations and we'll meet up later." "Sure, sounds good," said Andros. "Sounds like a plan," said Joe. "Awesome, you guys can hang out while we get some stuff done." Iza laughed. They walk off and Andros ad Joe look at each other and nod. Andros quickly fills Joe in and they head to help Sean. Joe and Andros make it there and see these new strikers. One immediately lunges at them and they are able to combo it down. However, they realize these are a lot more resilient then usual strikers.

Meanwhile, Gargantia looked down, sensing his Striker's defeat. So the rangers aren't as pitiful as I thought. Not that that's saying much. He held up a small little bundle of dark energy. But I suppose it's almost time I had a chat with that frisky feline enemy of mine...

March 17, 2010 ~ Island of Creation: Ancient City

Caoimhin was laying on the roof of one a the buildings of the island's ancient city, which was a glorious city but was for some reason deserted. He was looking at his medallion that he has worn for most of his life. "Will I actually do what Cronus foretold or will I choose a different path?" he asked himself. He paused for a moment. "I guess your right. Those Earthlings may be the ones that help me decide."

Meanwhile, Vile was still sitting on his throne, wondering what plan he should set into motion. "Hm, those rangers just keeping getting stronger as we go on," he began. "I should give my monsters a bit of a push..." He gazed at the Earth, and he suddenly was filled with inspiration. "Yes of course. I could freeze the earth. That would definitely bring it to my mercy." He laughed very evilly. He scanned Angel Bay, looking for an appropriate object. "Ah, here we go! An ancient artifact such as this would make a nice monster!" He pointed his staff towards the earth and said, "By the darkest depths of evil, I summon thee, Blizzbass!" A small beam of blue and yellow blasted forth and hit an old tiki mask on the Angel Bay Surf Shack. The mask flipped off and spun round and round. It eventually became a sort of human-like monster and stopped.

[align=center]

Blizzbass[/align]

"Oh, it's way way too HOT!" said the monster. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Vile. Vile stared at him. "Silence!" Blizzbass went quiet. "Now then, when I say so, you shall freeze the earth completely. Is that understood?" He nodded reverently. "Yes yes Master. Course course I understand." Vile gave him an apprehensive look. "Good."

5 minutes later...

Vile was taking glances at the earth. "Curses!" he began. "That Gargantia will spoil my plan if he is anywhere near. I should separate them, in case." He waved his staff and chanted, "Oh Dark Dimensions, thy Master has deemed thee to be of evilest heart. Trap thou Rangers inside thyself and separate their power, where unity has crumbled." The space around the beach was distorted and Sean, Joe, and Andros were pulled into a colorless equal to the beach. It was quiet and completely void of sound. Finally, a big whoosh blew Joe and Andros apart several miles, leaving Sean alone on the solemn, moving beach. Back in his lair, Vile grew more excited. "Gargantia will most likely than not go after that outrageous Orange ranger. Thus leaving me alone to finish!" He pointed to the waiting Blizzbass. "Go and cause destruction! Freeze the world where it stands!" With a flash of light, the monster appeared on the actual beach. "HOT!!!!!" he yelled as he held up it's eye-like arm. It shot out a concentrated blast of icy wind. The entire beach and the ocean was coated in snow and ice. "Much much better." He sighed.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin was at the island's temple monitoring the Earth through an ability he learned many years ago. "So there maybe an ice age sooner than expected," he told himself. "Well I'm not going to help for now, I'll just see if the rangers can handle it for now." Back at the ranger base, the alarm started to rush about. Star looked at it and then rushed to the screen. A monster with a mask-like face and coat-like skin was running about. She turned on her communicator. "Joe, Sean, there's a monster in your area..." But their was dead air. "Joe? Sean? Guys?" She bit her lip. "Where could they be?" She wondered. But Zedren laid a hand on her shoulder. "Right now, you should concentrate on stopping our frosty friend," said Zedren. She nodded. "Right. Send Kent over immediately." She looked up. Flicking her wrist, her morpher shined. "Omega Star Power: Shine!" She morphed and teleported to the beach. The monster Blizzbass saw her and started to chatter his teeth. "Hello-hello power ranger," he began, feeling like he is freezing. "But-but why is there only one?" He looked around. "Oh-oh well, I guess your gonna be a very lonely Popsicle!" He blasted at her, but Star jumped and kicked him back, making him stagger a few feet. "What-what?" He looked at her and ran towards her again.

As Ashley and Iza were shopping they felt a definite drop in the temperature start. "Did it just get colder?" Iza asked. "I think so," Ashley replied. "This is weird weather lately." "Well it seems like whenever something weird goes on a monster attack is to blame. And it also seems that whenever that happens Joe goes MIA." "I think its nothing to worry about. Just coincidence." Ashley meanwhile thinks to herself, This could be bad.

Meanwhile Joe and Andros were stuck in the dark dimension, and found it very difficult to discern which was where. Just then a group of monsters appeared before them. The first was fish like and twirled fish-like nun-chicks. It laughed. "Not so fast past and present rangers!" he began. "The name's PiranhaHead and it looks like you just been left out in the cold." The second one banged its arms together and assumed a martial arts pose. "Allow me to introduce myself," it began. "I am known as the Jaws of Destruction!" The third had a purplish cloak and wings and claws and spoke in a whisper malevolent sort of voice. "Ah, Rangers so nice of you to pay us a visit," it began. "Allow me to introduce my species. I, am a Vampyris." The fourth one howled in a metallic voice and then pounded the ground with its arms. "The name is WolfBane Rangers!" it said. It howled again. "Great, looks like a fun day at the beach is definitely over now," said Joe. Joe and Andros stood back to back while the monsters surrounded them. "Yo Andros, I know you don't have your powers anymore, but do you think you can handle this?" Andros smirks and says, "You serious? I'm always ready." They then began to engage the monsters.

Meanwhile, Sean looked around and wondered where he is. Sean talked on his communicator. "Joe, Andros, Star, Zedren, Tommy, anyone, come in!" But there was no answer. Just then more Gargantian Strikers surrounded him again. "Why is this happening to me?" Not feeling particularly satisfied with his Strikers, Gargantia peered towards Sean. He waved his arms in one motion, disintegrating his surroundings. He was now standing on top of the sandy barren beach with Sean. He made the Strikers disappear. Well my feline friend, it has been a while since we last met no? he asked. He stifled a smile. I think you should consider looking for a decent casket for your funeral. He beat his mighty wings and whipped up a sandstorm, locking Sean's visibility. Sean took out his Panther Spear, jumped in the air, did a whirlwind attack and made the sandstorm fade away. He safely landed. "Is that all you got?" Gargantia looked vicious. Oh dear child, you haven't seen what I can do. He launched himself into the air and extended his hands. Large, black fireballs materialized. Let's play a little game shall we? He threw the balls of fire straight in Sean's direction. Sean dodged all of the fireballs and began to laugh. "Come on. You can do better that that. Besides, the panther sealed you eons ago and it shall happen once more." However, the balls landed on the sand, disintegrating the dimension behind Sean. Oh I assure you. I can do much better. Shooting forward at high speeds, he dug his claw into Sean's armor, near his chest. After Gargantia removes his grip from Sean and turns away, he says, You see? It doesn't matter what you do, I will stand victorious! While Sean was on the ground, unexpectedly, he trips Gargantia and jumps back up.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin was watching everything happening to Joseph and Andros. "I can't help them yet, not until they call for my help," he began. "I made to many mistakes in the past by rushing into things and I have learned from them." He just waited for any signs of them succeeding in escaping from their little predicament.

Meanwhile, Joe and Andros were trying to hold their own against the monsters but were getting tossed around pretty badly. Joe and Andros were thrown to the sandy ground. "OK, enough with the warm up!" Joe yelled. "Andros, this may be a stupid question, but do you still have your powers?" "Yeah, but i didn't expect this so my morpher is still locked up in the Delta Megaship," said Andros. "Great, looks like I'll take it from here. I better hold nothing back. Omega Force: Gold Ranger Power!!" Joe then morphed and was encased in his black suit and gold armor. WolfBane howled again. "Another gold ranger," he began. "The last one was a pain in the gears. Time to get some color revenge." "Better not toy around with this. Time to make Caoimhin proud. GENESIS BLADE!!" Joe extends his arm and a large black blade with golden highlights and Draconian face on the hilt that is encrusted with amber gems appeared. "OK, let's see what this thing can do. You up for a round two Andros?" "Hmph, sounds good to me." While Joe and Andros was fighting the monsters, due to the dimension shattering bursts from Gargantia, the dimension waves slightly momentarily opened and Andros's communicator started to momentarily work. "Andros...Joe....Sean....Come in.....Trouble ...Ice monster.....freezing everything." Then it went dead again. "Joe, I've got a bad feeling. We've gotta speed this up and find a way out of here." "Easier said than done."

Gargantia didn't land on the ground, but he used his wings to push him back up. You can't defeat me with cheap stunts like that, he said as he grumbled. Now then, how about we continue the game? He pointed to the sky. A large dark hole appeared exactly above them. There was a whoosh and an explosion. Afterward, fireballs rained down on the entire dimension. This dimension won't survive, but you'll be trapped in the nothingness. He used his wings to fly upwards. If you fall into the void of dimensions, nothing will ever reach you. As he said this, the beach-like surrounding gave a large shudder with all of the impact from the fireballs. Large distorted spots in space developed.

Meanwhile, as Joe and Andros continued their fight they also felt the fireball barrage, as well as the monsters. "Andros, this is getting really bad," he began. "Where's Sean? We have to get out of here." "As you said Joe, easier said than done," replied Andros.

Meanwhile, on earth, Blizzbass was still firing shots of frosty wind all over, still missing Star by inches. However, the city was covered with a blanket of ice by now. It was growing irritated. "Stay-stay still you jitterbug!" he yelled as he fired a large snowball from his arm. Star jumped up and spun in the air, landing in a kick in the monster's head. He staggered. Star was panting. "I can't keep this up forever," she said to herself.

Farther up, in the sky. The stars shone brightly. No matter how hard they shone, they could never be seen. Day or night. A constellation of a wolf stared down to Earth, and the mind embodying it sighed. Okay, I died, and now I'm here. Great. I can't believe demons and gods get sent up here when they die. What am i supposed to do now? A voice echoed through his mind. It was Dominic. "You could bless someone," said another voice. Huh? "You know, grant a special someone a bit of your power?" You're losing me. The voice sighed. "MAYBE YOU COULD HELP OUT THAT GIRL DOWN THERE?!" Hm? I can? Better yet, should I? Do I even know her? "What you forgot already? Oh no..."

Meanwhile, Caoimhin looked at his vambrace he wears on his right arm. "I should probably practice using this before they need my help, after all I haven't done this in a while," he told himself. His vambrace started to glow and Caoimhin punched the ground, chains wrapped around his wrists and ankles then flames started to engulf his body with Caoimhin screaming in pain.

"That's it!" yelled Joe. "This has gone on long enough. Time to see what this blade can really do." The monsters were surrounding Joseph after Andros was tossed ten feet away. Joe then held up the blade, dodged ans slashed each of them multiple times. Each slash left a glowing gold aura to the wound that pulsated. After delivering about 5 cuts to each of them, Joe spun the sword around and then made it disappear. Then turned his back and walked towards Andros. As he did, the gold auras each erupted with a ferocious electromagnetic pulse to each monster, they all fell backwards silently and exploded. As Joe demorphed he felt a surge within him, radiating from his spiritual connection with the Genesis Blade. "Joe, are you okay?" "Yeah, the Blade just sensed a massive power spike. Something ancient." He looked towards the direction to where he and Andros came from when they left Sean. "I certainly hope Sean was the cause of that and isn't on the receiving end of that."

"I have had it with you!" yelled Sean with rage. "Time to end this!" Sean demorphed, and closed his eyes. As he was concentrating all of his energy into something new, he began to float and formed an orange aura. As he opened his eyes, they began to glow white. He then roared like a panther. "Super Panther Mode!" As said, the panther zord appeared, and was shrunken down to ranger size. Sean then remorphed and the panther Zord began to separate and combine with Sean. What was left is a Ranger-Zord Hybrid Battleizer. "Now you see what true power is." "Impossible!" yelled Gargantia. "How were you able to release the inner powers of the panther?" "The panther spirit guided me to the time when I was ready to finish you off!" "It matters not. You will perish one way or another!" "Not this time. It will be decided that you shall be permanently eliminated!" Gargantia covered himself in a black flame and launched himself forward. "It is time to be destroyed you insolent Panther-clad brat!" He threw his arm towards Sean.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin, after an intensive training, laid on the ground of the temple panting heavily. "I haven't...used this...much power...in a...long time. He then managed to stand up, with his whole body aching, and walk slowly to his chamber to rest and regain his strength.

So, lemme get this straight, I know her? asked Dom, having no memory whatsoever. "Bingo," said the other voice. What have you been smoking? "Look, you do whether you like it or not." I, of all people, should know if I know her or not. "You lost your memory." Blasphemy!

As Gargantia threw his arm towards Sean, Sean grabbed it and launches Gargantia in the air. "Super Panther Strike!" Sean then took out his Super Panther Spear, jumped into the air, and slashes Gargantia upward while falling. Sean then safely landed on the ground and watched as that attack finishes off Gargantia. After a few seconds, Gargantia lands on the ground, but stands up once again. But how? "Never underestimate the panther spirit!" "You may have been lucky this time, but I'll be back! Gargantia laughed. He then vanished into thin air. Sean then realized that with this new power he can destroy this dimension and return to Angel Bay. Joe and Andros saw the massive strike and could now see where Sean was, but it was still very far off. "Hm, my Lio zord was able to communicate to the panther zord and vice-versa numerous times," said Joe. "Perhaps with the blade, I can enhance that and try to contact Sean." Joe then activated his communicator. It was towards Sean. "Sean, you there? What's going on?" Sean began to hear Joe on his communicator. "Is that you, Joe? Where are you?" "Andros and I got blasted away and got acquainted with some friends of past rangers. I'll explain later. Look I have an idea. Was that energy spike you? We might be able to combine the energy of your new state and the genesis blade. And by bouncing the energy back and forth it can act like a buzz saw and slice through the dimensions. What do you think?" "Maybe. Let's try it!" Joe remorphed and immediately summoned the Blade. And he held it in the air and sent a beam of energy a distance away towards Sean. A beam of similar size radiated from Sean and meet Joe's blast. The massive combination of energy created a rip in the universal bounds and was able to teleport everyone out of the dark dimension. "Awesome, we're back!" Then Joe felt the cold that came over Angel Bay. "Brr. Either we were trapped in that place for like 6 months, or Vile's up to something new."

The monster turned around quickly, forgetting Star for a moment. "Yes-yes, more rangers!" yelled Blizzbass. He ran at them, aiming his arm at them. Star quickly jumped and kicked him back. She said quickly and annoyed, "Took you guys long enough." Meanwhile, "Yes, waist your precious energy!" yelled Vent. "You will need it when the time comes!" He laughed and yelled, "Shadow Transform!" Vent's armor was surrounded with a pink aura. Then Vent came out with better-than-ever armor and weaponry. "Phase 1 on Standby. Prepare for Invasion." Vent marched with a group of Strikers serving Gargantia to the Ranger Base and hid. Vent turned around and saw the piece of his armor he left behind. He equipped it to his armor as spikes that appeared on his shoulder blades. As Blizzbass stumbled, Joe quickly materialized the Genesis Blade and slashed him across the chest. Another energy burst followed from the wound quickly after. The blast knocked him back about 15 feet. His chest was singed and burned from the burst, but since it was only a quick attack, he was still ready for a fight.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin didn't get any rest at all. He just lay on his bed in his chamber when he suddenly felt something was going on at Earth. He waved his hand to his side and created an image of the Earth the worked to pin-point the exact location on this and saw Joseph, Sean and Andros escape the other dimension and fighting. "I knew he was worthy of the blade," he told himself. Then he sensed a slight disturbance on the Earth still but it wasn't the one who froze the area as he could clearly see that thing fighting the rangers. He searched for the source of the disturbance and noticed a group of Strikers and another person. Caoimhin could tell he is a ranger and one of those that has took the wrong path. They were near the rangers' base. "This is not good for the rangers. I wish I could harness my powers like I used to but right now I can't. I might still be of some help though."

Star held out her hand, where the bow of wings appeared. "Dreamer's Arrow!" she yelled as a light-weight energy beam shot out and hit Blizzbass, throwing him several feet back. He got up and said, "Ow-ow pain..." Vent waited and watched the rangers' battle. He studied all their moves and their weakpoints. This is too easy, he thought.

Meanwhile, Zedren went to wake up Kent who was napping. "Kent you have to get down there before the whole city freezes," he told Kent. Kent understood, morphed and teleported. Eventually, Kent joined the scene. "What's up guys?" asked Kent. "You could handle this on your own. You had to ruin my very important nap." Joe laughed. "Nice to see you haven't changed," said Joe. "What do you say we finish this?" "Sounds good." Both of them stretch out there arms and their weapons materialize. They put them lateral to their bodies, then they start glowing and they both blast an energy wave at Blizzbass, slicing a cross of energy into him and cutting him into fourths. The monster exploded in a thousand different pieces and the rangers demorphed. Star nodded appreciatively. "Good, now that everyone is back, I can finally get some rest. You guys are are going to give me a heart attack someday. Suddenly disappearing, I ask you..." She headed away with the others laughing. After Blizzbass was destroyed, the entire city thawed out. Sean was relieved that everything is back to normal. The rangers teleported back to the base and Sean showed everyone his new power. "I stopped Gargantia, for now," he began. "Whatever he has up his sleeve, we'll be ready!" Meanwhile, in Gargantia's lair, Gargantia listened to Sean's words. I don't think so boy. Next time you won't be so lucky!

Hey guys, I've decided to have Episode 15 be the Season Finale, since it was the last thing we ever finished. How's that sound?

DNovaKnight · May 13, 2010

souns good. And was that really the last episode? I forgot where we left off.

Kōsuke Ueki · May 13, 2010

You were fighting a monster with the Collosus Megazord while Auric was with galesonic's character and I had just gotten the Emerald Panther Powers. I was waiting for to finish the monster off with my zord combining with yours to finish it off. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure everyone had forgotten about the RP when I made my post and Kira gave you 2 Bumps and I got pissed after seeing no new posts after losing Internet for 2.5 months during last summer vacation.

At least I remember that. Does that sum it up?

Kōsuke Ueki · May 13, 2010

I'll PM Fenrir, yes he didn't change his name, to let him know this up along with his chapter. Enjoy!

[spoiler=[b]Episode 13: Ranger Obsidian: The Rebirth[/b]]

The Kraken emerged from the sea, still in the Bermuda. It quickly appears on the beach, behind the rangers. "I SHALL SINK YOU INTO OBLIVION!" screams the Kraken. The Kraken roars, slamming it's tentacles on the beach. "Sink?" said an unknown voice. "They're on land idiot." The Nidhog slowly descends form the sky and spread it's wings. Star turned around to see the Nidhog and the Kraken. She quickly looked around as if to see Fenrir or more importantly, Dominic. She looked at the Kraken with puzzling expressions and said, "O...kay. Since when do giant squid-like things talk?" The Kraken annoyingly spotted Star. "A bug? My master has bad taste." He prepared to slam one of his tentacles down on Star. "Bug?" She dodged the tentacle. "Excuse me? BUG?" She was fuming. "You called me a bug you overgrown slice of calamari?!" She picked up a twig and threw it into the Kraken's head. The twig hit the Kraken dead on in the eye and pried it free. "Ow! Watch where you throw that thing!" The Nidhog sighed and shook it's head unexpectedly. It flew up and then rammed into the Kraken's eye. "Ok, ok! You win!"

Joe stepped forward holding the genesis blade in hand. "You know Dominic huh?" asked Joe. "Well are you an enemy of his? What do you want?" "Enemy?" asked the Kraken. "Why would I be an enemy of his?" The Nidhog sighs and flies upward, out of site. "I am his loyal servant of the seas!" "So why are you attacking us? We were his friends, I mean it didn't really start that way, but we became friends in the end. If anything you want Loki." "You really think I would be stupid enough to attack a God?" "Well we found Dominic with sword marks that could have only come from Loki. It appears that Loki has possessed the body of Odin. I realize this looks extremely bleak. But there could be a way to set everything straight. However, we will need your help. We must try to get Dom back. It can be possible. I fought through Tartarus to find a blade and came back. I believe anything is possible. But we need all the assistance we can get. Dom has the spirit of Fenrir right, so he should be able to do the impossible. We can bring him back, get revenge on Loki, and set everything straight. Loki has corrupted a fellow deity, he has now made enemies on both sides. He must be stopped. There must be some way we can help each other."

The Kraken looked blankly at Joe, before breaking out in a laugh. "You think I don't know this?" asked the Kraken. "There is one way to get him back. But it will require an extremely large amount of time. And someone that can bend time." "Got Dom back," said the unknown voice again as a portal opened on the beach and Dominic appeared form it, scratching his head. "Okay, so first up in space, and now I'm her in Earth," said Dom. "The heck?" An unfamiliar girl appeared next to him, yawning. "Hey, my species CAN manipulate time," said the girl who appeared to be the unknown voice. Dom sighed. "I hate it when you do that ya know?!" "What the heck?" asked Joe. He looks at the Kraken and says sarcastically with a friendly smile, "You were saying?" Joe runs up to Dom and shook his hand, much like when Jason shook Tommy's hand when he joined the team of the original Power Rangers. "Hey buddy, where have you been, what happened?" Star stared at Dom apprehensively. A flush of relief and happiness washed over her and in a moment or two, she fainted on the floor.

Dom just gave a confused look. "Who exactly are YOU?" he asked with a tinge of fatigue in his voice. The girl shrugged and slapped him on the back of the head. "Gah! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" The girl smiled. "To wake you up," said the girl. Dom looked at Joe. "Oh, hey Joe, how have you been?" Joe laughed. "Welcome back buddy. You had me worried there a second. And I'm not the only one." He turns to point to Star, but he doesn't see her in his field of vision. They then notice that she passed out. Dom ran over to Star and picked her up. "Ah great. What now then?" Star woke up. Her eyes fluttered open and she stared Dominic in the face. "You..." She slapped him so hard he fall backwards. "YOU IDIOT! YOU WENT AND DIED AND LEFT ME!" She was crying, tears dripping down. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She was huffing and trying to steady her breathing. Dominic sighed. He slowly got up and walked over to Star. He was quite speechless, but he pulled himself together. "Yes, I'm sorry. Dieing wasn't intentional though. Look, I promise that won't happen again?" The Kraken rolled his eyes.

Star dropped her arms. "What am I going to do with you?" she asked as she hugged him. Noticing the Kraken's eyes roll she added, "Um, could you excuse me for a second." She walked over to the Kraken. She whispered, "Make one comment, make one more gesture about my relationship and I WILL fricassee you and serve you for tomorrow night's dinner got it?" She also added, "I'll enjoy it too." She gave him an evil grin. "Real smooth, Dom," said Sean. Dom whispered to Sean. "Hey, it wasn't easy..." He then turned to Star and smiled. The Kraken looked at her with frightened eyes and sank lower in the ocean in shame. "W-What just happened, Dom?" asked Sean. "Why did it sink?" Star giggled. "Oh I think it was just a little overwhelmed." She muttered to Dom, "And scared out of his mind." Dom chuckled. The new girl turned towards him and flicked his head. All at once Dom grew fur and shrunk. He was about the size of a gray wolf, and looked like one. The only difference was that his fur was pitch black, with a blue tinge. He looked up and barked. Star was used to weird things so that didn't phase her. "I gotta say Dom, you're kinda cute for a Demonic wolf of doom." She pet his head.

Dominic barked once more, and waged his tail. The girl sighed and backed away, transforming herself. The familiar shape of the Nidhog appeared and she flew upward. With a flash of light she disappeared. "I would make a smart-allec remark along the lines of the base not having or something bout you being house broken, but I'd be afraid you'd bite me and give me rabies, or worse," Joe said as he laughed. "Okay, but on a more serious note. Can someone please explain to me all that is going on right now. And perhaps we should move this conversation to the Ranger Base. So a certain evil possessor happy Loki or anyone doesn't over-hear." The Kraken was of course listening to everything. He then raised his head again. Joe turns to the Kraken. "You can come as well. There's a huge underwater entrance. If my Lio zord can make it you can as well. I'll call him and he can lead you there." He summons his blade to get ready to call the Lio zord. But waits for a response. The Kraken shakes his head. "It's fine, I know where it is anyways," said the Kraken. "How do you think I make sure Star won't kill my master?" Before Star could respond he sunk down into the ocean and disappeared. She scratched Dom's ears. "What do you think? Fried calamari for dinner? Or perhaps Squid Shish-Kebab?" She laughed. "But yeah, let's go to the base." Joe spoke into the blade to the Lio zord. "Lio buddy ol' pal, prepare yourself. You're no longer the big beast on campus." He laughs. He then puts the blade away and turns to the others. "Shall we? And Dom, I mean Fenrir, I mean..." He was confused. "Wow, might take a while to get used to this. Anyway, can you teleport or do you need some help? Oh wait, you're a deity. Do you really need a morpher?"

Fenrir looked blankly at Joe but then shook his head. A hole appeared from the ground and skeletons popped out. They dragged a deathly black carriage. Fenrir walked in and sat, before the skeletons started to chat to themselves. The rangers teleport back to the command center. They decide to talk in the zord area. The Kraken emerges from the water next to the Lio zord. "It's a good thing this room is so freakishly large," said Joe. He laughed. The skeletons chuckled and they disappeared, and Dom appeared by Joe. "Norse Mythology was never clear on how the Gods went around," he told Joe. He was back into this regular, human form. "Yeah, seriously, gonna take a while to get used to that. So what's been going on. We found your body and assumed Loki had something to do with it, but aside from that we're lost." Meanwhile, Caoimhin was training as much as he could then he suddenly stopped, walked out of the temple and stared at the silent city that stood nearby. "Maybe this is the start of proving my worth as protector of this world and Earth," he told himself. Star looked from Dom to Joe and smiled. "Isn't it obvious?" she asked. "Loki killed his son. What's not to get?" They stared at her. She shrugged. "Seriously, you guys need to read your mythology. Fenrir is Loki's son." Joe gave Star a blank look. Then looked at Dom, then back at Star. "It's not the mythology I don't get, it's the coming back to life, the 20 ton talking piece of calamari, and the Nidhog that can turn into a woman that I don't get." Star opened her mouth to answer, but decided against it. "Dom should explain. It is HIS area of expertise."

Caoimhin was still staring at the city. "Don't blame yourself for what happened that day, all that time ago," a voice said to him. "I'm sorry but i just can't do that," said Caoimhin. "Not until I've fixed it. I'm a lot stronger than I was that day, now I just have to wait for them to appear again." He then remembers what happened to the city. Dom slowly facepalmed. "Nidhog is actually my cousin," said Dom. "The beasts in Norse Mythology actually have a human form that is much weaker than their original version. Kraken happens to be my guardian. I was originally, and still had to be, chained to the Kraken under the sea in some trench. Hence my fear of sharks. The coming back to life thing is one of the Nidhog's specialties, so can't explain that much." "Wow, in an odd way, that makes sense," said Joe. "So lets see: You've kicked our buts, joined us, fought with your father, so whats next for you? I'm gonna guess vengeance on Loki." "Bingo. First I have to get my brothers and sisters together." Star looked thoughtfully. "That would be Jormundgar and, Hel," said Star. "She bit her lip. "Well, Jormundgar is here on the base with Nidhog. It's Hel that's the problem."

Suddenly a towel clad figured walked by, humming a tune to a song. He had brown hair with a tinge of gold. He was well built and had dark brown eyes. Dom paused for a second before turning into a wolf. He slowly stalked the man and then jumped, transforming back to his regular farm in mid air. The guy turned around and kneed Dom as he fell. "Bro, you'll never get the chance to catch me off like that," said the figure. "Dom winced as he got up. "That was unfair!" Joe immediately took a fighter stance. "Dom, you know this guy?" he asked. "And how did he get into the zord enclosure with us?" Sean observed the man. He thought to himself. "I think he's one of Dom's brothers," he said out loud. "He IS my brother." The older guy cuffed him across the head. "Your OLDER brother." "Well then, it certainly seems like a family reunion then." Joe extends his hand. "The name's Joe. Nice to meet you. So where do we go from here?" "I'm gonna take a wild stab in the back and see if my knowledge of mythology serves me well. I'm aware of Fenrir's only brother was Jormundgar. So, if Nidhog and Fenrir have human states, are you Jormundgar's human state? Oh yeah, whether you are or if not then sorry to you Dom, but there was a massive tidal wave before, so I used the Genesis Blade to control Jormundgar zord and my Liopleurodon zord to take care of it. Crisis averted and your zord should be under your control again. I'm sorry, we needed the extra power and it was just sitting there." The guy rolled his eyes and punched Joe in the shoulder. "Yea, that wasn't very helpful." Dom rolled his eyes similar to his brother. "Ignore him, and yes, he's Jormundgar." Joe holds his shoulder and gives Jormundgar a sarcastic smirk. Then turns to Dom. "So what's next?"

Gods are getting far too involved in this fight, thought Caoimhin. This may even make things worse for Earth. He then began to sense more strong entities appearing on Earth. Then suddenly, the ground began to shake violently. "What's going on?" asked Sean. "Oh you shouldn't worry about that," said Star. "It's nothing major." She shrugged as the quake subsided. "For now, we should concentrate on getting the rest of Dom's relatives. Speaking of which, where is Hel? She should be here seeing as she is your sister." "YOUNGER sister," Dom corrected. "She should be under us, probably talking to some demon or whatever," Jormundgar said as he materialized cloths on him, and throwing the towels somewhere else. The quakes intensified and Dom looked startled. "Bro you think...?" Jormundgar shook his head. "Nah..." Suddenly the ground shook hard and a hole opened up from under it. "How in the world is everyone getting into this base?" asked Joe. Dom actually fell back from the opening. A large snake appeared from it. Joe grabbed Dom and pulled him backwards to avoid from falling into the gaping hole. "Is it morphing time, or is this another relative?" Dom kicked the snake back in and sighed. "No, my sis is done there, 'somewhere'." Jormundgar shrugged and quietly stepped down into the hole. "Dom, where did that snake come from? And does your bro need help down there?" "If I would venture a guess, I would assume the underworld? That is where Hel lives after all." She nodded. "I wouldn't worry about Jormundgar, he's pretty tough." She was only talking from a mythological stand-point. "Good point."

Just then Zedren walked in. He nods to everyone. "Dom, glad to see you're back," he said. "And I see you're doing a little family reunion." He then turns to Joe. "Joe could I see you a minute?" "Sure." They then both walk off. "I wonder what Zedren wants with Joe," said Sean. Dom shot a 'shut up' look at Star. But he was too late as Jormundgar grinned. "Of course! I mean, a serpent is much stronger than a pesky little wolf..." He started to walk down into the hole and Dom facepalmed. "Ah great! Now he's going to brag for months." "Are you guys coming or not?" Dom rolled his eyes and followed his brother. On the way Joe passed Diabolico and told him about what was going on in the zord room. "I'll check it out," he said as he then continued to the zord room, was caught up on all that happened, and descended into the hole with the rangers. "Being a fellow demon, I should be of some service."

Meanwhile, Joe and Zedren walked into his office. The door closed behind them and locked shut. Tommy and Ecliptor were there, too. "Joe, I think its about time you knew the rest of the Lio zord history," he said. "You mean there's more?" Joe asked. "Haven't you wondered why Vile didn't take control of the Lio zord sooner. He knew and even seen it, how could he not recognize it?" "Maybe he's gotten senile?" Zedren laughed. "Considering he's still my pain in the neck father-in-law, I personally like that answer. But seriously, it's because the zord you have right now isn't the true Lio zord." "WHAT???? You mean I have to go find a new zord?" "No, no, no. More like unlock it." "You lost me." "Aside from locking away the Lio zord to keep it from Vile, I also concealed it and weakened it. The zord you have is merely a substitute form of it. A locked form. So much technology and weaponry was taken from your old zord. In fact, me using it for Serpentera wasn't the only. Long before my wife and I got married, she had tried her hand at creating a war zord called Cyclopsis which would mirror the true Lio Zord's megazord form, but of course, she fell very short." "So how do I unlock it, and why am I hearing this now?" "Ecliptor has agreed to take you where you need to go. You must first go to Triforia. You and Tommy must seek out the original Gold ranger. Then you three will search out the magician Auric. The dual Gold Ranger powers, plus Auric, and the Genesis Blade will break the seal i placed on the Lio zord." "OK. And how bout my second question. Why now?" "Vile is reaching a breaking point. He's gonna snap and do something or somethings drastic. For now, very few can be trusted. Even me. Remember, I used to have evil in me. Even though Zordon purified me, I don't want to take any chances. Vile can certainly do the unthinkable. He even stopped time once and turned the old rangers into children. He's not to be taken lightly. That's why you and the rangers will need the extra power. Now hurry, they are waiting and time is running out." "Thanks Zedren. I'll make you proud. And don't worry bout what Vile may do. We can handle it, and we got your back." Zedren nods. Joe, Tommy and Ecliptor then leave for Triforia.

Ecliptor brought Tommy and Joseph to Triforia. As they wandered around they were met by some armed guards, but they immediately dropped their weapons when they noticed Tommy and Joe. The presence of Ecliptor had frightened them. They brought them to the king's chamber where they met the new king, Trey. Trey had remembered Tommy and they shook hands. Trey then sensed a power much like his own within Joseph. "Ah, so you're the new Gold Ranger?" asked Trey. "It is an honor and privilege to meet you." "The honor is all mine," said Joe. "Tommy and the other past rangers told me about you. I tried to follow in your footsteps, as well as Jason's, in using the Gold Ranger powers." "And you have done well. Even though our Gold Ranger powers aren't exactly the same, they do have common origins. Thus why I imagine our ranger forms look slightly similar. But time is wasting. I imagine that Zedren sent you two." "Yeah," said Tommy. "Master Vile has returned as well as a monstrosity known as Gargantia." "Ah, yes. I've heard of this Gargantia. An evil spirit who tried to destroy Zordon but was sealed away by Zordon's guardians. And as for Vile, this cannot be good. On our planet we have sensed many disruptions within the balance of the universe. We've even sensed a new breed of evils." "New breed?" asked Joe. "I wonder if that Jesterix or whatever it was called was a part of this new breed." "I wish I could tell you more, but even we do not know of these things. We have various libraries on this planet which record all events. It is the most complete library there is, obviously due to the fact that each of us are three times the being of anyone else. And even our libraries mention nothing of them. But I digress. It certainly seems you have your hands full. Come. Let us proceed." Ecliptor, Tommy and Joe followed Trey towards a huge pyramid. "Wow," said Tommy. "It's been a long time since I've seen Pyramidas. This was quite an awesome zord in battle. Got us out of a lot of tough times." "Yes, Pyramidas has served well. But with the destruction of the Axis of Evil, there's been no need to reactivate it. However, with all that you're telling me, perhaps we should prepare ourselves in case the extra strength is needed." "That would certainly be a help." Trey led the others into Pyramidas and within the zord cockpit, Trey retrieved his Golden Power Staff. "Ahh. It's certainly been a while. Gold Ranger Power!" Just then Trey once again became the Gold Ranger. He then looks at Joe and knows what to do. "Gold Ranger Power!" Joe morphs as well, this time in full form with the Genesis Blade in hand. "Now all we need is the Gold Key to summon Auric."

Back at the base, Diabolico turns to Dominic while they are descending into the hole. "So what are we supposed to be looking for?" he asked. "This place looks like one of the demon pits that used to house me and my brethren." Dom scratched his head before leaning on the pit wall. It slowly opened up and Dom walked through it. "Hey bro, isn't sis supposed to be here?" Dom yelled to Jormundgar. "Yea, what, she isn't?" Jormundgar asked. Dom sighed. "Nope."

Meanwhile, Caoimhin thought to himself, Maybe I should look more into Norse Gods as there seems to be a few of them showing up right now. I think I'll go to the library in Triforia. I'm sure they'll have some information about them. He created a portal to the library, walked through it then closed it. I wonder where they keep information about the Gods on Earth. As Caoimhin entered he startled the Rangers. But Joe recognized him immediately. "Caoimhin, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Joe, you know him?" asked Trey. "Yeah. He helped me on the path to get the Genesis Blade. Well actually he was the path." "He's one of the keepers of the power itself. More specifically the zords." He turns to Tommy. "Remember when I brought you the Super Zeo Zords? Well, I got them from him. Same with the Delta Megaship and all the other zords Zordon placed for you rangers. At some time or another they were all under his watchful eye, or at least those like him." He turns to Caoimhin and bows slightly with respect. "How may I be of service to you? We are slightly busy at the moment, but if i may direct you in any way-" Caoimhin bowed back at Trey. "Well I'm here to find more information on the Norse Gods as I see many are appearing on Earth. Also one of them looks like the person you were mourning before you left the island, young Joseph." "Oh yes. That was Dominic. He has the spirit of Fenrir. And his father Loki is apparently old friends with Vile. He's getting his brothers and sisters together to help as well." "If the Norse gods are getting involved as well this must be bad. It appears that the Axis of Evil is reforming in a new way." He turns to Joseph. "We must continue on and find Auric." "Trey, trust me when I say things WILL get worse," Caoimhin stated in a serious tone.

Dom and Jor stared at each other for a couple of seconds before snapping their fingers in union. "Of course!" they said together. In the middle of the small chamber another hole opened up. This time a young girl came out. She was about 9 and looked like a miniature Medusa. "Bros, why are you here?" she asked curiously. Jor grinned and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her out of the pit. Dom followed, seemingly annoyed by what Jor was doing. As soon as everyone was out, the pit closed.

"As I was afraid of," began Trey. "You have full run of the library. It is in the main palace entrance hall to the left. Only a Tri-Fold being can enter, but assuming your power spirit that should be no problem for you." "Thank you Trey. I shall head there right now," replied Caoimhin as he bowed at him then turned to Joseph. "And young Joseph take care in your quest." Caoimhin then walked off to the library. Trey turns back to Joe. "Let us continue and summon Auric." "But we need his key," said Tommy. "And I think Jason still has it." "When Jason returned the gold ranger powers to me, he as well transferred the key." Trey held a golden key in one hand and materialized a stone idol in the other. He placed the key into an indent on the statue and turned it. Just then the statue grew to over 50 feet tall. "I am Auric the Conqueror, defender of all that is good and true." Trey shoved Joe and motioned him to speak. "I am Joe, the Gold Ranger. And I come here to ask for your assistance." "What is it little golden ranger?" "Master Vile has returned as well as Gargantia and Loki." "Great Galaxies! Go on my child." "Someone told me that with your help as well as Trey's, I can unlock the rest of my Liopleurodon powers. Earth and the universe needs all the help it can get now more than ever." "Of course. My cause is to protect the weak and innocent. If there is any way I may help, I shall do all I can. But first..." Auric then shrinks to human size. "...allow me to become more travel size." The three of them walked to a desolate place on the outskirts. There was a triangle on the ground. "This is where we shall enact the ritual." Trey, Joseph, and Auric each took a place on the triangle, each on a point. Joe then summoned the Genesis Blade. Auric summoned his mythic saber, and Trey summoned his golden power staff. They all made some hands motions and a bubble of golden energy encircled all of them, including Tommy, and then a beam of golden light was shot from the center of the triangle towards earth.

Caoimhin entered the library and searched for books on the Norse Gods. He eventually found a book, opened it and began to read everything about them. "It's probably for the best if I keep a close eye on them as I'm still unsure which side they are actually helping," he told himself.

Meanwhile back in the zord area, the bright golden beam shone through the ceiling and struck the Lio zord under water. It's eyes glowed gold and a Tri-Fold insignia was revealed on its shoulders. Meanwhile back on Triforia, "There, it is done," said Auric. "So the Lio zord is stronger now?" asked Joe. "Yes it will," replied Trey. "I assume it has 2 forms now, the form it usually had, as well as its true form. You may change between them as you like." "Thanks guys." He sees Tommy to the side knocked over and they all run over. "Tommy, you okay?" "Yeah," he replied. "Guess I was a little too close. I'm just happy that energy didn't vaporize me or anything." He turns to Joe. "Shall we head back?" "Sounds good." They all exchange their goodbyes. "Should you ever need, call. I have a feeling we will all be needed to stop what is about to come. Farewell." As Joe and Tommy are walking away Auric runs up to them. "Wait my friends, wait!" he yelled. They stop and listen. "I've been locked up for quite a time. Allow me to become useful again. Allow me to fight with you and should you need me just call." He turns to Joseph. "Might as well keep with tradition." A gold key appears on a chain around Joe's neck. "Use this to summon me should you need anything." Auric then disappears and the eyes on the face of the key glow blue. Tommy and Joe return to Ranger Base.

"Okay, Dom, you have your siblings," said Sean. "So what's next?" "Yea that's it I guess..." Jor said. "I'm so tired for some reason..." said Dom as he yawned. "Well actually, you're sick." Jor laughed. "Resurrection sickness?" "Yup." "Great." Star laughed and said, "I didn't expect to see your family or YOU for that matter so soon." She winked. "So then, what news do you have Joesph?" She addressed the now present Joseph and Tommy. "Well my Lio zord has been returned to its original form, but its present form uses less energy, so I want to keep him on reserve," he began. "And we met a great warrior named Trey." He says nothing about the key around his neck and hides it under his shirt. "Trey of Triforia? He is certainly a wonder to behold. Then again I always thought Triforians were interesting..." She let her mind wander. "Oh well." She smiled gently. "Well, Dom's relatives are gathered here. You didn't miss much on that side of the coin."

Farther from the base, Loki chuckled. "Ah this is all good... All good... Flayer, present yourself." A thin Creature wearing a large gray cloak soon appeared. It had no legs and hovered, and it's mouth extended into several duck like bills. It was white save for his cloak. "Go and cause mayhem for me..." "Yes master," it said, and disappeared.

It appeared behind The Rangers and chuckled. "Now, how about a quick brawl rangers?" It extended its long pointed fingers and strings shot out. They focused in on Dom, who was too tired to notice. They struck his head and he paused. His eyes changed color, from red to pure white. "Go my servant." Dom lunged out at his brother, who dodged and uppercut him, but more strings attached to his head. Now both brothers turned, Jor threw himself at Joe. Joe dodges. "Oh great, now we got two demons to mess with. Joe ran to the new monster, morphed in mid run, and tried to cut the thread between him and Jor. "Looks like my new powers are already starting to take effect." Star ran back inside, fllowing the weird appearance of the monster. Dom was throwing himself at her. "Your POSSESSED now?!" She drop kicked him, landing on the floor with a large thud. She pointed at the monster. "You do NOT mess with my demon-wolf boyfriend you phantasmal freak!" She morphed and held out her hand. "Dreamer's Arrow: Hundred Downpour!" She shot into the air, which turned the arrow into several hundred small ones. Flayer wasted no time and disappeared as the arrows rained down. Dom and Jor were normal for a couple of seconds, but then the threads took their hold once more. Flayer laughed. "My species revolves around mind control..." Dom shape-shifted into seemingly a werewolf, and Jor shifted into a lizard-man. They both lunged at Joe this time, deeming him the greater threat. "Ok. Enough fooling around." Joe extends his hand and summons the Genesis Blade. He moves out of the way to avoid Dom. Then he slashes Jor 4 times with the Blade. Leaving behind 3 of those electromagnetic charges that he destroyed those other monsters with. The blade made wounds on Jor, but he didn't react to the pain. Suddenly, the room was turned pitch black and everything was quiet. "Dang it. Where did they go?" Joe walked around cautiously. A growl erupted and Joe was knocked to the ground by Dom. Star looked around, careful not to make a move. She thought to herself. Okay, a wolf is still a wolf, so excellent hearing... She she turned her head in the direction of the door, at least what she thought was the door based on coordination. She smiled, still not moving much to make a sound. She felt around and flipped a switch, causing the roof above them to open and using an artificial weather system, made it rain. Dom growled once more and before he could make the finishing blow, it started to rain. Jor licked the air around with his tongue and singled out Star. He dashed towards her, making sure his brother didn't notice. Star heard Jor running at her through the rain and was about to react when she heard a snap.

"That's it!" yelled Joe as he retracted the Genesis Blade and whispered, "Auric, you're up. Auric quickly appeared and helped Joe up. "Why are we whispering?" quietly asked Auric. "Auric the Conqueror doesn't need to hide." "We're whispering cause every sound we make is heard and reacted upon. And also, I want to keep the fact that I possess your key a secret." "How so?" "We can play 20 questions later. But for now, something called a Flayer possessed my two friends." "What odd friends you keep. Very well then." Auric became calm and collective and sensed where Dom was moving. He then sent a shock-wave from his sword that evaporated the string controlling. Also sending a shock back to Flayer. "There. And how was that?" "Awesome. Your the man." "Actually I am the conqueror. I will never understand your usage of language." "Fair enough, now go back into hiding." "Very well. But I'd like an explanation for this later." He was shaking his finger at Joseph. Auric then returned as quietly and unnoticeable as he had arrived. And Joe walked over and helped up Dom where it appeared that he had fallen. "You okay buddy?" Dom shook his head. "The heck?" he asked. As he got up he felt his brother. Running? "Ah great!" He dashed towards Star, and being faster than his brother, knocked her away. Before Jor could react Dom sent a punch to his chest, sending him flying backwards. "Gotta love the dark."

Star jumped in the air. "Joe did it!" she yelled and smiled. But straightened herself out and flipped the switch again, stopping the rain. Joe heard a whooshing sound and quickly ducked. Jor then sailed over his head and kept going. Joe looked and smirked "Nice to have the old Dom back," said Joe as he then made his way over to where Dom and Star were. "Yea, whatever controlled me was pretty strong. "I couldn't get past his mind block, which should be easy for a demigod." Dom then coughed. "We got some problems if you aren't strong enough to stop something. OK. Time to try to get rid of this darkness and shed some momentary light on the situation. Cover your eyes you two. Golden Radiance!!!!!" A golden light filled the room for about 15 seconds before going dark again. Joe looked around to see if he could spot the Flayer during that instance of visibility. Flayer was in midair, in the middle of the room, with his 8 eyes closed. "Super Panther Mode!" yelled Sean as he activated his battlizer once more. "Super Panther Strike!" Sean's Panther Spear becomes a spear of energy. Sean lunged it at Flayer, pierced his body, and obliterated him, or so it seemed. Before Flayer could die, he laughed menacingly. "You think this is the last of me?!" yelled Flayer. "Ha! I shall be back! And I curse YOU Sean! Until you die must you be haunted by my curse!" Flayer slowly drifted away into oblivion. Sean, ignoring what Flayer had said, powered down. "I could get used to this."

Before the odd things happened, Sean saw Joseph put something in his shirt. "Hey, Joe, what you put in your shirt?" he asked. Star stepped in. "I doubt it's of much consequence," she said. She gave Joe a knowing look. "Probably a trinket from Triforia." Joe laughed. "Actually Star, it's just an anniversary gift from Izabel," he began. "I'm gonna see her later on and she freaks when I'm not wearing it. So did any more of Dom's relatives show up?" She walked towards the exit. Turning her head slightly she said, "I'll be outside for a bit." She continued through the door, outside the base, staring at the peerless starry sky. She gave it a look of wonderment and longing. "I wonder..." She sat down, admiring the stars in the clear night sky.

Meanwhile, Caoimhin, after finishing reading up on the Norse Gods, was still confused so decided to walk around the library while thinking, Even with the book's information I'm still no wiser as to what they're all doing here. As he was thinking very hard as to what the answer was, he stumbled upon a book which had his name on it. "I guess that there would be a whole book about me considering how long i have lived for," he told himself as he smiled. He opened the book reading through some of his past fights and other events he had done so many years ago.

Jor pounded Dom in the back. "That was nice," he said. "Better than what happened at Asgard once." Dom grunted. "You were only 800 years old then!" Jor continued, laughing. Dom sighed and backhand Jor's head. "I sense a warm and fuzzy family story coming," began Joe. "Well as much as I'd love to stay and chat, believe me, I'm going out. Call me if you need me." Joe walked towards the Lio zord and hopped in. "We're going for a spin buddy." Joe and the Lio zord headed down towards the deepest depths of the ocean. He let the Lio swim on its own will. Then Joe again summoned Auric. "Well, are we still whispering or can Auric speak freely?" asked Auric. "Sure. Go ahead. Just us down here." "You are acting quite peculiarly. I sense you are hiding something and wish to ask a question." "Well you're right about both. And what exactly does one gain from possessing your key?" "Watch your tongue. For no one possess Auric. Auric serves as he seems fit. It will do well for you to remember that, young Joseph." "I didn't mean any disrespect. I meant, you merely protect the one who holds the key, right?" "Yes. For example, since you now possess the key, and you appear goodhearted, I would protect you from any force that wishes to harm you. Or steal the key. Even if someone would try to take it, it is bound to your spirit. The chain around your neck is connected to your spirit. And as I already stated, I'll protect you from any outside force, unless I see some reason that you cannot be trusted. And I must say young Joseph, you act very differently from how Trey and the others spoke of you. Just be warned, that Auric does not like to be deceived." He waves his finger again at Joe. "No worries. All will work perfectly. But no one can know of this." "That is what makes me question you. Auric does not hide. Auric stands and defends, and strikes fear in the hearts of evil, if they had hearts." He gives a triumphant laugh. "Don't worry. They'll find out in due course. But first I have to take care of something. Once that happens I could care less if the others know." "Fine. But just know I'll keep my eyes on you. Auric sees all. Even while he's sealed in a key. Perhaps I should peer into your soul and just see for myself what your intentions are." Joe and Auric stare at each other for a few minutes, neither backing down.

After Caoimhin finished quickly reading about all the good times and even things he has forgotten about in his life, he decided to look for Trey to find out why young Joseph was in Triforia. Trey was sitting in his thrown room taking care of some political things. "My lord," said the Diplomat. "I have to you from the M51 galaxy. We seek some help from you in establishing an alliance." "I had no idea either of us was at war," said Trey. "Speak." "We are not. However, some of our main celestial planets have become 'corrupted'." "How so?" "It is as though they have disappeared. Without a trace. As thought they have been erased. And worse yet, some of these planets were our agricultural centers. We may begin to starve." "Peculiar. We Triforians will help in any way we can. We have an abundance. We shall set up trade routes and help you as best we can. I shall as well contact the Aquitians. They may be able to help as well." "Thank you gracious king." He leaves by escort. Trey sits and ponders. "Could this have anything to do with the unknown force we've been sensing. Or have anything to do with the troubles Joseph and Tommy spoke of? These are certainly grave matters."

He then noticed Caoimhin walk into his thrown room. The guards in the hallway knelled as Caoimhin passed to show respect. Trey stood up. "Ah, great knight of the zords," he began. "I hope our library was able to accommodate you." Caoimhin bowed down to Trey. "They were of some help but the answer is still unclear to me," said Caoimhin. "I really have come here to ask why was young Joseph here? Is he in any danger at all?" "Apparently the earth is, and after what I just heard, possibly the universe. Whether this is by one force or many conflicting forces with a similar goal, I don't know. We have been usually able here on Triforia to keep in touch with many time periods using our advance technologies. However, the future is a strange one. We usually had a connection with a group of rangers known as Time Force and an earlier bunch known as SPD, but its been like history was rewritten. We can't even find their frequency any more. We can't see what is in the future. All we know is that they aren't there. Very strange. And as far as Joseph, he came here to release the binds that were placed on his Lio zord. As you are probably well aware of, the original form Zordon intended was much more powerful. However it had fallen into evil hands. And then used as the basis for monstrosities such as Cyclopsis and Serpentera. When Zedd became good, he sealed its powers in a latent form, hoping to disguise it from Vile. But now since Joe has the Genesis Blade, he need not worry of Vile taking it, so we released its powers. Myself, Joseph, and Auric the Conqueror." "Firstly, has anyone time traveled at all because that may have caused the disturbance? Secondly, you mentioned Auric helping yet I cannot sense him being in the area. What have you done with the key?" "Well you do make a point about the time travel. However, it would not have been a normal travel. I mean time force and SPD have certainly traveled through time alot. However, perhaps when Vile traveled from the past he probably would have had to tamper with it to keep it open for him to transport his resources. A corruption of the time stream could have something to do with it, but I guess time will tell. And as far as Auric, I figured you'd all need the help, so I transferred the key of Auric to young Joseph." "You think he could be responsible enough to hold the key?" "He appears trustworthy." "But is he wise enough not to overly use this power he's been given? I don't really want to fight him if he does become irresponsible in the way he uses the power from Auric." "Well with everything in life, I assume time will tell."

"That's another thing. Is it possible to truly change the course of time?" "Scholars from various planets and galaxies have all pondered that same question. Free will or determinism, as they put it on earth. Are we guided by a higher power or not? Well, they actually can both co-exist in my belief. Some events will happen no matter what. So, you see we know that the future has been changed due to these disappearances. However, what if this is merely a different path. What if a certain future is set, but instead of taking path A, which was the originally set determined one that would immediately lead to the Good Future, perhaps we will proceed down path B, perhaps we will proceed down path B (in which the future was corrupted and will become the Bad Future, but since it has been deemed that the Good Future is the true one, we will be successful in turning things back the way they were supposed to be. Thus the Good Future will still occur, even though we will have to proceed through a very indirect way. I am sorry. Did that make any sense?" "In some ways it did but what if both paths ultimately involve sacrificing many lives, which do you pick?" "Apparently the choice has been made for us. Now we must proceed to the best of our abilities. There is another form of ideologies on earth called fatalism. It involves that we can sit back and all will work out. I do not believe this the case. We must do everything in our power to stop them and set things right. Whether it is futile or not, we must try. Now then, I hate to leave you like this but I must be off. I have to go speak on these matters with the Aquitians, as well as the residents of KO-35 and Tera Venture. You may come back and we can finish this conversation then, but for now, I bid you farewell." He bows and begins to depart.

"Farewell," Caoimhin said still in confusion. "I guess not even Trey could understand the challenge Cronus has left me." He then created a portal to go back to his planet.

To be continued...

Ahhh Good. Good. Thanks c_4, again you're awesome. Aya and I will reread and be able to jump it right back up. And remember that crazy bug first post ... well, the episode summary will link here instead. - if that's okay. :)

Kōsuke Ueki · May 14, 2010

I'm not sure what you mean.

DNovaKnight · May 14, 2010

typo ftw. lol

Remember how the first post had characters, zords, and episode summaries. Well for the episode part I'll just link it to this thread. Instead of using all that space. And this way they can get the full story. Not just quick summ. Perhaps I'll change it to a "last time on Omega Force" with like a mini announcer-like wrap up like in MMPR.

The Warden · May 14, 2010

Heh, I remember watching this RP, it looked fun. Shame the bit where I was due to show up didn't come up cause the RP died beforehand. But it appears there will be a second coming, so I'll keep a look-out.

DNovaKnight · May 14, 2010

Yes. and i just finished my finals. So I shall start to relook up all my stuff and notes. I think i remember your story buddy. I'll pm you if i don't. Your ranger animal and color will jog the memory, but I'm sure my Master Sheet is still in my document folder. :D

And i just checked ... we did go over 15 episodes, but i didn't get to summarize. Episode 15 ends around page like 104 about. - rough estimate. There were stil a few more (1 full and like 1 almost done).

The Warden · May 14, 2010

Phantom Bat ranger

DNovaKnight · May 14, 2010

cool. I hadn't worked your story yet. so it could be a quite nice segway for however Aya and I pick it up

The Warden · May 14, 2010

Wouldn't it be easier to keep track if you remade the club?

DNovaKnight · May 14, 2010

Well we will eventually make an OoC thread for the RP. The club i guess should be remade as well. I'll handle that. :)
