Powers That Be Chapter 2: Ranger Civil War
Several of the villains had gathered on the Planet Nemesis, otherwise known as the Cimmerian Planet. Lord Zedd, Emperor Gruumm and several other villains had gathered here to prepare for their own invasion plans. Mesogog turned to Lord Zedd and asked, "Where is your minion, Finster? I thought he was going to help us rebuild our armies?"
"He said he was out of supplies so he returned to his home planet, Claydoious, to gather what he needed," Lord Zedd answered. Mesogog recalled the first time he met Finster.

*Flash Back*

Mesogog was back in his old laboratory, "Finster, I'm glad you could make it," the dinosaur-hybrid turned his attention to the smaller alien creature in his presence. Finster was a short alien creature that looked like a Scottish terrier. He wore a blue smock and bandana and wore a pair of spectacles.
"Lord Zedd commanded me to help you, how may I be of service?" asked Finster in a soft, gentle voice.
"I'm aware you are skilled at creating monsters, did you bring the ones I requested?" Mesogog asked.
Finster nodded, "Yes your saltiness," Finster then presented Mesogog with two small clay sculptures of twin monsters. The two monsters had slim, smooth metallic bodies and blades for arms. "These were the last two monsters I created before I ran out of clay and I personally believe they are my greatest work yet, these are the blade brothers, Slice and Dice. But unfortunately my Monster-Matic is out of order since the Machine Empire ransacked Rita and Zedd's palace."
"Not to worry," Mesogog waved his hand to his Geno-Randomizer, "with my Geno-Randomizer we can finish creating them, now place them inside." Finster did as he was instructed and placed the two monster sculptures inside the machine. Next Mesogog typed in the necessary commands. The Geno-Randomizer filled with mist and energy, signaling that the creation process was underway. When it as done the tube's doors opened and out came two monsters. They resembled their sculpted form but were metallic in appearance. One wore silver knight-like armor, this was the younger brother Slice, the other looked identical but had gold armor; this was the older brother, Dice. Both had large, sinister grins on their faces.
"Slice and Dice at your service!" both monsters said enthusiastically in silly sounding voices.
Mesogog grinned, "I've programmed the Geno-Randomizer to enhance these two monsters' DNA, allowing them to be more adaptable, combining their DNA with the DNA of various different monster types."

*End of Flash Back*

Mesogog nodded, "Very well, I must see to it that our animal army is ready for battle." With that Mesogog departed.

Lord Zedd used his telescopic sight to view the Earth from many billions of miles away. "The Earth is rife with objects and creatures to recreate new monsters with." Lord Zedd pointed his Z-Staff in the direction of Earth and fired a beam that transformed many different animals, plants and inanimate objects into monsters. The experience left Lord Zedd drained. Since he had traveled through time so much and had used a great amount of energy creating monsters he had used up so much of his strength and needed to recharge.
"Zedd, it may be unwise to focus so much of our attention on Earth," Emperor Gruumm said, "as much as I want vengeance against Krueger and his Ranger allies, our armies are disorganized and unequipped, it may be best to regroup and better prepare ourselves," Gruumm suggested.
"Nonsense," Zedd replied, "We will have Earth and all of its people and resources will be under our control." Lord Zedd staggered a bit, "My energy is low, and I must go into my sleep of rejuvenation to recharge my strength." Zedd turned one last glance towards the Emperor of the Troobian Empire, "Remember this, Gruumm, I'm the one in charge here, proceed with our plans to take over the Earth," with that Zedd also departed for his moon base where he would sleep.
Gruumm ground his teeth angrily, "Be careful, Zedd," he whispered to himself, "I am the Emperor of a great Empire and will not be ordered around like some peasant, or else I may take your throne as well…"

Nearby the robotic scientist Frax was completing his latest work. Frax was once a human scientist from the future named Dr. Ferricks, who was once a philanthropist with both humans and mutants. However when he extended a helping hand to the mutant criminal lord Ransik he was betrayed and nearly killed. Ferricks was forced to rebuild his body as a robot transforming him into Frax, the experience embittering him for life and turning him into a merciless killer who only sought dominion of the world for robots such as himself. In the end, however, his humanity was restored to him when Ransik's daughter, Nadira, persuaded him to forgive and let go of his hate, only to have his personality wiped clean to become a mindless robot slave and to be destroyed by the Time Force Power Rangers.
After Broodwing had retrieved his remains in Silver Hills Frax was rebuilt, once again an emotionless robot, and was commissioned to rebuild the Machine Empire, which he succeeded in a short amount of time with the help of his own robotic allies. Now Frax was finishing up on his newest project, rebuilding the robotic body of Venjix. Venjix had been a self-aware, intelligent and aggressive computer virus created by Dr. K. It was originally designed to help her escape from her captivity but Venjix's influence grew stronger and he was able to take over all of Earth's computer systems. With these systems at its command Venjix took over the Earth, polluting and conquering much of its surface while building thousands of robotic soldiers and was even able to build robotic bodies for himself. Venjix, however, was stopped and nearly deleted when Dr. K created her own team of Power Rangers to counter Venjix's forces. In the final battle Venjix's last body was nearly destroyed when a spire crushed it. With the help of Venjix's surviving General, Crunch, Frax was able to retrieve his broken body and rebuild him.Venjix's current body resembled a robust robotic man with a beard that was covered in black and gold alloy and had pipes coming out of his head and gears coming out of his back and carried a large club-like weapon.
Nearby King Mondo, the emperor of the Machine Empire, supervised. Mondo resembled an overweight robotic man in silver alloy and wore blue royal clothes and had a rotating gear-like crown. "So you believe you can have him up and running soon, doctor?" asked Mondo.
"I'm adding the finishing touches," Frax replied, "and there," with that Frax activated Venjix's body and he came alive with a loud growl.
"I live again!" Venjix cried out victoriously.
"So this is the famous Venjix that I've heard about, I must admit he is quite impressive even though he was made by a human," King Mondo said inspecting Venjix.
"And I have heard of you as well, King Mondo, the Machine King, I am honored to meet a machine of your magnitude, but now I must concentrate on rebuilding my forces by retrieving them from the Sanzu River," Venjix stated. "Crunch!" From nearby General Crunch arrived, he was a silly-looking robot made from white and green alloys, had smoke stacks coming out of him and had a silly grin on his face. "Take me back to my base, I must rebuild our forces and find a way to open a path into the Sanzu River, many of our fallen comrades were sent there when they were destroyed."
"You've got it boss!" Crunch replied as the two of them departed.
"I must be going as well," King Mondo said, "I will have my revenge of the Gold Ranger from Triforia for his interfering with my goal to take over the Earth!" With that only Frax remained.
"Soon, with the three of us working together, robots will rule all!" Frax said cackling revealing his insane face underneath his gold plated head.

Back on Earth the Dino Thunder Rangers, Haley, Nick and Eric all set off to their separate destinations. In Blue Bay Harbor the Dino Thunder Rangers were able to free their companions the Ninja Storm Rangers from the influence of evil and were making their way to Reef side where they heard that their Dino Zords would be waiting. Haley proceeded to get in touch with previous Ranger teams that were spared from evil's grasp while Eric went with Nick on his motorcycle and headed to Briarwood, the home of the Mystic Force Rangers.
When they arrived they found a massive troll monster wrecking up the place. The creature had appeared out of a magic portal from the underworld. Evil magic users within the Underworld's forces have been known to delve into dark magic and one spell that is often used is the transportation of monsters to the surface. The magician would chant their spell and a magical rune would appear on the surface where the monster would emerge. The rune would take on the image of a square with circles at each angle encased in a larger ring. This troll had emerged from one such portal. The Troll was an enormous creature that was the size of a two story house, much larger than most monsters summoned by the UAE but was not as large as a Megazord. It had a grayish purple, muscular hide with large equally muscular arms and wearing a ragged black leotard. Nick was astonished, because he knew he and his fellow Mystic Force Rangers had destroyed this particular monster twice. The Red Mystic Ranger immediately withdrew his phone and called his friends to meet them in town to help fight the Troll. Afterwards Nick turned to Eric, "My friends are on their way, but we're going to need to buy them time till they get here," Nick explained.
Eric nodded, "All right." The Troll beat its enormous fists ferociously and bellowed a feral growl. Nearby Nick saw a stray soccer ball someone had dropped while fleeing the area. Nick grabbed the soccer ball and hurled it at the Troll to get its attention. The Troll easily batted away the ball and started chasing the pair. They had to lure the beast into a more open area to better fight it. The Troll chased them through a neighborhood and grabbed a nearby car and chucked it at them, fortunately the Troll's motor skills left much to be desired and the car missed. Eric drew out his Thunder Max blaster and shot the Troll with some lasers but they did little to effect the Troll except making him angrier. Nick and Eric continued running and luring the Troll into a more open area.
They were able to finally draw it out into a plaza. The Troll pounded its fists angrily. "Nick, we're coming!" Nick and Eric turned to see the other four main Mystic Force Rangers. There was Xander Bly the Green Ranger, a tall, somewhat athletic young man from Australia who preferred to talk out of a bad situation then relying on violence. Next there was Charlie "Chip" Thorn the Yellow Ranger, young man with reddish hair with enthusiastic interests in the supernatural world and the ways of the warrior. Then there was Madison Rocca the Blue Ranger, she was a pretty young lady with dark hair and had a fascination with film so much that she would often film her friends in every day life. Finally there was Vida, Madison's younger sister, who had short, jelled hair that Vida would dye different colors depending on her mood. Vida had a zealous interest in music and would practice being a DJ in her free time, especially since she worked in a store that sold music memorabilia. All five of the core Mystic Force Rangers wore leather tunics that matched their Ranger color.
First the five rangers dialed 1,2 and 3 on their Morphers and shouted "Magical Source Mystic Force!" A disembodied voice shouted the spell, "Galwit Mysto Ranger!" This transformed the five teens into their Ranger forms. They each wore suits that were themed after their individual colors and their own mystical animal: Nick as a red phoenix, Xander as a green Minotaur, Chip as a yellow garuda, and Madison as a blue mermaid and Vida as a pink fairy. All of the Rangers were armed with wands and wore capes matching their suits. The Troll growled and swiped at them with one of its enormous arms, which the Rangers easily leapt over like a jump rope. "Mystic Force Kick!" while in midair the Rangers kicked the Troll, sending it flying several dozen meters away, killing it and causing it to explode. The five teens cheered in victory.
"Beating a Troll in one hit? That is an impressive feat," a deep voice interrupted their gloating. The teens turned to see a dark figure walking through the smoking remains of the Troll. It was their old nemesis, Koragg the Knight Wolf. "I would challenge you myself to test your prowess but I am required elsewhere, so instead I will leave you with a lesser challenge," Koragg stated holding out his hand. In his hand was a glowing orb of light that flashed with the Mystic Force symbols.
"Our combining powers!" Xander shouted. Koragg then threw the orb onto the remains of the Troll. Another dark magic rune appeared beneath the Troll and somehow caused the pieces of the monster to reconfigure itself into a full being again. In the Troll's hands the glowing orb of light appeared before being absorbed into the Troll's body. Afterwards the Troll began to mutate, its muscular purple skin transformed into hard, craggy stone and a horn sprouted from its head and a large stone club formed in its right hand. The Troll, now a Stone Troll, used a finger to straighten its stone cap in a mock imitation of the  Titan Megazord.
"Is he imitating the Titan Megazord?!" Madison said angrily.
"Now that's just insulting!" Chip exclaimed.
"We beat this thing the last time when Catastros and I formed the Centaurus Phoenix Megazord, but Catastros is under Koragg's control again so I won't be able to combine with him," Nick said.
Eric scratched his chin, "I think I have a weapon that can smash that Troll, do you think you can get me high enough and close enough to that thing?" Eric asked.
"I think we can take care of that," Xander answered.
"You ready guys?" Nick asked.
"Ready!"
First the Rangers dialed another spell into their phones dialing 1,2 and 5 and then 1,2 and 6, this caused the disembodied voice shouted, "Galwit Mysto Prifior!" The spell caused magical runes to appear above their head and scan over their bodies and as it scanned them it transformed them into their Zord form. Nick was transformed into the Mystic Phoenix, a giant humanoid robotic being in red armor and carried a short sword. Xander was transformed into an enormous green robotic Minotaur wielding an axe, Madison transformed into a blue, robotic mermaid, Vida into a pink fairy and Chip into a yellow garuda, a giant thunderbird from Japanese mythology.
Next all the Rangers, excluding Nick, shouted together, "Mystic Titans Dragon Formation!" Within their Mystic bodies Chip, Xander, Vida and Madison dialed 1, 0 and 6 on their Morphers and the Mystical voiced shouted out, "Galwit Neramax Unios!" The four Mystic warriors were all engulfed in light and taken into the sky. While in the air they began to form the Mystic Dragon. First the Mystic Minotaur formed the Dragon's strong, four-legged body, next the Mystic Mermaid formed the Dragon's tail, then the Mystic Garuda formed the Dragon's splendorous wings and finally the Mystic Fairy formed the Dragon's head and neck. The Mystic Dragon was complete and roared.
Nick, as the Mystic Phoenix turned to Eric and said, "Come on, it's time to take this guy down," and picked up the now much smaller dragon and then leapt onto the Dragon's back. The Mystic Dragon roared in challenge at the Stone Troll. The Troll growled and traced the image of a circle on the ground around it, creating another magical rune. This rune summoned a flurry of boulders to appear around the Stone Troll, "Magical Showtime! Boulder Blast!" The Stone Troll then pointed his club at the Rangers. The boulders were magically flung at the Mystic Phoenix and Mystic Dragon. The Dragon flapped its mighty wings and flew into the air, dodging the rocks. The Dragon retaliated by spitting a fireball at the Stone Troll, causing it to stagger backwards.
Eric was hanging for dear life in the Mystic Phoenix's hand. Suddenly remembering his mission, reached inside his Adventure Pouch and drew out his Earth Flail, an extremely powerful Ball and Chain weapon imbued with Earth Elemental energy. "Channel your energies into my Ball and Chain and I should be able to
The Stone Troll growled angrily and drew a circle in front of him with the tip of his club, creating yet another magical rune. The Stone Troll's club began to glow with magical energy. With that the Mystic Phoenix hurled Eric forward and the Mystic Dragon exhaled a massive fireball that collided with the ball of Eric's Earth Flail, imbuing it with their magical energy. A split second later the Stone Troll slashed the Mystic Phoenix and Dragon, causing them to crash, only to be smashed in the face when Eric hurtled towards it while swinging the Earth Flail into the Stone Troll, shattering its rock body.
Eric cried out as he began falling after destroying the Troll, fortunately he was caught in midair by a most uncommon savior. Eric felt a carpet underneath him and glanced down to see a Persian-style rug beneath him, it didn't take him long to realize that the carpet was flying in mid air like in the stories of Aladdin. "Are you all right, Dragon Prince?" Eric glanced up to the owner of both the voice and the carpet to see a knight-like warrior wearing golden armor and wearing a blue cape. Eric immediately recognized his rescuer as Daggeron, the Solaris Knight Ranger and mentor of the Mystic Force Rangers. Eric answered Daggeron with a simple nod before turning around to see another circular rune appear in the air above where the Stone Troll once stood, this circle encompassed five smaller circles, each with the symbols of the five core Mystic Force Rangers. The symbols then glowed and went to each of the Mystic Force Rangers, restoring their "combining power".

After the battle the Mystic Force Rangers took Eric to their headquarters in Root Core. They explained to Eric that the Master of the Underworld had decided to use Leanbow, Nick's father, to be his new host, causing him to transform into Koragg, Eric concluded this must have happened after he and the Dino Thunder Rangers had freed Nick from the Master's influence not to long ago. Eric was also saddened to hear that Udonna, wife of Leanbow and mother of Nick, had passed away. While the five teens readied themselves for their future battles Daggeron revealed to Eric that he had a special task for him. Daggeron transported himself and Eric to Magitopia, the home of the Ancient Mystics, also known as the Heavenly Saints, magical beings that were once human but mastered various forms of holy magic that caused them to become angelic beings based around their area of magic. To Eric Magitopia resembled what most people would think Heaven would look like, a realm that was situated on and above the clouds with architecture that resembled that found in ancient Greece and Rome. Daggeron lead Eric to a rather elegant building. After some walking the two came before the throne of the Mystic Mother, who was once the evil space queen and sorceress Rita Repulsa. Compared to Eric and Daggeron, Rita was a giant.
The queen of Good Magic inspected her visitors, "Daggeron, thank you for bringing the Dragon Prince here," Daggeron bowed in respect. "Eric, I'm sure you are aware of the events that have been going on, but I think I should bring you up to speed." Rita then muttered a spell that created a magical window, a projection of events going on around the universe. The projections showed the UAE's forces gathering and growing stronger and preparing for an all out war. The projections also showed how many of the Power Rangers had not yet restored their powers or have had their powers stolen by the UAE. "I'm sure you know Zeddy has been busy spreading evil throughout the galaxy," Rita explained, using her husband's pet name. "We need your help to combat the UAE and to restore the powers of the Morphing Grid." In his heart Eric was very reluctant about the whole situation; the idea of fighting legions upon legions of evil beings unnerved him. Despite this, however, Eric replied with nervous nods.
The screen shifted to a scene in Reef Side City, the hometown of the Dino Thunder Rangers. There Eric saw that Zeltrax was attacking the city with the Aerial Assault Craft and controlling the three primary Dino Zords: The Red Tyranno Zord, the Blue Tricera Zord and the Yellow Ptera Zord. Fortunately Connor, Ethan and Kira had managed to free their friends, the Ninja Storm Rangers from under the control of the UAE and now had headed to Reef Side to reclaim their Zords. With their Zords back under their control the Dino Thunder Rangers decided to form the Thundersaurus Megazord. The Red Tyranno Zord roared and charged forward. While its legs continued to move its upper body twisted in place, causing its large drill-like tail to form a left arm and its head to turn onto its chest. The Tricera Zord leapt into the air and attached itself to where the Tyranno Zord's head, forming the arm of the Megazord, this in turn caused to Megazord's head to emerge from the top. At last the Megazord leapt into the air while the Ptera Zord flew in front of it, the Ptera Zord formed the chest armor of the Megazord while its legs created a helmet for it. At last the Thundersaurus Megazord was complete, the Tyranno Zord's head roared while the Megazord's limbs bashed together and it extended its drill in challenge. The events that unfolded reminded Eric of the events when Mesogog first attacked Reef Side, where the Rangers managed to tame the Dino Zords once again and destroyed Zeltrax's Aerial Assault Craft in the process.

Their victory was short lived however when the ground shook. Nearby a crevice opened up in the ground and emerged a roaring robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex, it was the Red Tyrannosaurus Zord, the personal Zord of the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. Next the trumpet of what sounded like an elephant's call sounded in another direction as the Mighty Morphin Black Mastodon Zord stomped into the area. They were joined by three more Zords that came from the mountainous regions to the North. One was a blue tank-like creature that was stylized in the shape of a Triceratops, it was the main Zord of the Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. The second was the personal Zord of the Yellow Mighty Morphin Ranger, a Saber-Toothed Tiger Zord. The last emerged from a volcano, it was avian in appearance but had a massive red chest-plate to protect itself, this was the Pteradactyl Zord for the Pink Mighty Morphin Ranger.
The Tyrannosaurus was the first to attack, it roared and exhaled a sonic boom into the ground that caused an earthquake. As the sonic boom went forward it caused the ground to crack and detritus to be tossed into the air. The Dino Thunder Rangers realized with dread that the sonic boom was coming towards them. When it hit them, the Thundersaurus Megazord became unstable and it caused the Zords to disengage and shatter into their basic forms and forcing the Rangers out of their cockpit. The Rangers groggily got back on their feet. Nearby they heard evil laughter and they turned to see three monsters approaching them. One was a humanoid piranha monster that Eric recognized as Pirantishead, another was a demonic humanoid monster with gray skin, vampire-like fangs and what resembled Native American garb, the Hate Master, and the third was a humanoid mole monster, Dramole. "You just can't be the originals," Pirantishead said in its gurgling voice while Dramole grunted in reply. "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Dino Zords will always trump the Dino Thunder Power Rangers' Dino Zords, while the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will trump the Dino Thunder Power Rangers." The three monsters stepped aside to reveal, to the amazement of the Dino Thunder Rangers, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The first to step forward was Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger, his Ranger suit's motif was designed after his Red Tyrannosaurus Zord. Next came Zack Taylor, the Black Ranger, whose suit was modeled after a Black Mastodon,  then Billy Cranston, the Blue Ranger and finally Kimberly Hart the Pink Ranger. The Yellow and Green Rangers were absent from their group. It was then that Connor, Ethan and Kira noticed that Hate Master laughed maniacally and began waving his hands in the air, releasing orange spores. The Hate Master had the power to invoke evil feelings like hate in its prey using a special dust that it produced, making it a potent threat. To make matters worse Dramole was releasing a toxic gas from the glands all over its bodies that also had the ability to brainwash those that were exposed to it. "All right, Rangers, let's put them in danger!" The Hate Master grinned, pointing at the Dino Thunder Rangers. Without question the Mighty Morphin Rangers drew their weapons and charged with the Dino Thunder Rangers doing likewise. Connor fought against Jason, Ethan against Zack and Billy and Kira against Kimberly. Although the Dino Thunder Rangers were strong they were still being outclassed by the predecessors.

"It looks like your friends need some help," Rita suddenly spoke, snapping Eric out of his trance-like state from viewing the projection. "Before you begin your quest I have a personal task for you," the projection's screen showed more images, this time it showed Lord Zedd and the monsters that he created, as well as the monsters that he and Finster created. "I want you to capture Zeddy and all of the monsters in our forces," Rita asked.
Eric gave her a confused look, "But don't you want to destroy all the monsters?" he asked.
A somber look appeared on Rita face. The images in the projection changed, this time it showed many moments from Rita and Zedd's life, such as them at their wedding and dancing around their base. The projection also showed Rita and Zedd's son, Thrax. "Even though they are evil, Zedd is still my husband and I love him and Thrax is my son, I couldn't bear the thought of destroying them," Rita replied. The images changed again, this time it showed other various moments from during the time of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, showing Rita and Zedd's friends and followers. The image showed images of Rita's brother, the skeleton warrior Rito Revolto, and her demonic father, Master Vile. "The same thing goes for my brother and my father," Rita continued. The image in the projection changed again, showing images of Goldar and Finster and their other minions such as Goldar's wife, the human/scorpion hybrid Scorpion, the blue hobgoblin creature known as Squatt and his partner, the vampire/monkey hybrid named Baboo. It continued to show images of their foot soldiers like the clay warriors called Putties and the human-sized birds, the Tengas, as well as many other monsters that served them.
After seeing all the happy times the mischievous villains had spent with each other Eric was, in a strange way, touched by the display. "All right, I see your point, but how do I capture them? I'm not a magician, at least not yet."
Rita then motioned to behind her throne. Out from behind her throne emerged a funny-looking troll like creature with pink skin, pointy ears and a dopey expression on his face and wore a peddler's clothes. Eric recognized him as Mr. Ticklesneezer, a friendly troll/fairy creature that was created from Trini's, the Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Rangers', troll doll. The troll made his way forward carrying a cylindrical stone object. Eric raised an eyebrow while Mr. Ticklesneezer smiled and handed him the object. The object was made of brown stone with a lid on top with a red gem in its center. "This is a Space Dumpster, the very same kind of magical device that was used to capture me and my forces over ten thousand years ago," Rita explained, "all you have to do is open the Space Dumpster's lid at one of our minions and they will be sucked in.
Eric smirked, "Cool, I'll be capturing monsters, sounds like fun."
At that remark Rita and Daggeron chuckled, "So, you like capturing monsters, huh? Well then I have an additional gift for you," Rita then motioned to Mr. Ticklesneezer.
Ticklesneezer drew from his brown pouch several small glass tubes that reminded Eric of the test tubes that were used in laboratories. "Take some of my special jars," Mr. Ticklesneezer explained; "I used these to add things to my collection," the troll smiled. Eric immediately understood what he was implying and a sly grin spread across his face.
"Thank you, I'm going to have fun with these," Eric declared.
"Good, now before you go to rejoin your friends, I must test your prowess," Rita then waved her hand over the projection and the image of a city appeared in the window. The scene showed many different monsters attacking the citizens of a city and explosions going on. "Some evil force is attacking Stone Canyon, the neighboring city of Angel Grove! Fortunately whatever fiend is attacking is only using foot soldiers as their army, I think you might be able to stop them, now go!" Rita waved her wand and teleported Eric away before he could protest.
Daggeron gave the Mystic Mother a quizzical look, "Your highness, don't you think it's a bit reckless to send him on such a hasty mission so spontaneously?"
An impish grin formed on the sorceress' face, "I like to have a little fun with my subjects."

Eric rematerialized in another location and observed his surroundings. All around town Eric could see chaos as people were fleeing from various different monstrous creatures. There were the Putty Patrollers, golem-like soldiers created by Finster in his Monster-Matic. They resembled bald humans with smooth, gray clay-like skin, rock-like hands and face with stupid expressions. The Putty Patrollers were dumbly chasing citizens while flailing their arms; the Putties were among the dumbest of the foot soldiers. The basic Putties were being commanded by the "Z-Putties," Lord Zedd's own variation of the Putty Patrollers. The Z-Putties resembled their counterparts except they wore white, skintight armor with a large Z-emblem on their chests, which was also their weak spot. Eric heard a repulsive cawing coming from above, when he looked up he saw Tenga warriors flying, blotting out the sun with the black, feathered wings. The Tengas resembled human-sized crows with hooked beaks and wore purple tunics; they were slightly smarter than the Putties in that they were able to speak whereas the Putties made garbled noises. The Tengas mainly kept to the air but would occasionally descend when they would see a pedestrian and would squawk and peck at the unlucky person. Suddenly the air was filled with a strange electronic buzzing. Eric turned to see a pack of Piranhatrons and Quantrons chasing more people out of alleyways. The Piranhatrons resembled robotic fish warriors with bronze armor and some had a silver stripe on their head while the Quantrons looked, to Eric, like something out of Battle Star Galactica. The Quantrons were silver-colored robot warriors that carried blade weapons. To Eric, among all the foot soldiers attacking the city, the Quantrons looked the most menacing. The Piranhatrons and Quantrons were being lead into battle by the Shadow Chromite, a strange alien creature wearing gray spandex and a gasmask. Along with them were creatures called Sting Wingers. The Sting Wingers were among the ugliest of the foot soldiers. They were green and black insect/human hybrids with no clear, distinguishable face and sickles for arms and insect wings. The Sting Wingers buzzed around in the air and were clinging to the sides of buildings searching for prey. Along with the Sting Wingers there was another group of insect-like foot soldiers, the Kelzak Furies. The Kelzaks were the ninja foot soldiers of the Evil Space Ninja Army. The Kelzaks wore skintight suits and masks that obscured their face with the image of a red centipede. Unlike normal Kelzaks, which wore black, the Kelzak Furies wore red and were stronger. Finally there were the Tyrannodrones, Eric's personal favorite. The Tyrannodrones were human/dinosaur hybrids, they resembled the Sting Wingers in that they wore black, skintight suits and carried sickle weapons, but the Tyrannodrones had no distinguishable faces that were covered in green and black scales and with small horns and small prickly spikes sprouting from their head and faces. Eric realized that all of the monsters present were only foot soldiers; there weren't any stronger, higher-ranked monsters among them.
From high above one of the buildings Eric heard evil laugher. He turned to see the commander of the small army of foot soldiers attacking. "Go my minions, spread evil and anarchy wherever you may go!" The commander resembled a middle-aged man with tentacles for hair and a goatee. He wore a purple and black robe and his skin was purple and slimy. Eric easily recognized the fiend as Ivan Ooze.
Without alerting Ivan Ooze to his presence Eric pointed his Thunder Max Blaster at him and fired, shooting several lasers at the evil, alien warlord. The blasts sparked off Ivan's hide but did little to him than sting and irritate him. "Who dares attack my magnificence?!" shouted Ivan in an over the top manner that reminded Eric of Christopher Lloyd. Ivan glanced down at Eric, "Well, what do you know, we have a guest among us today." Suddenly all of the foot soldiers in the city stopped what they were doing and turned towards Ivan Ooze and Eric and began circling around Eric. "I hate it when people spoil my fun, come on boys, get him!" At Ivan's command all the foot soldiers charged.

The battle was on. As the battle started Eric could here the song Tenga Bye Bye playing in the background because of the Musical Badge he wore, this in turn gave Eric the confidence and enthusiasm to fight. Several Putties of both varieties charged at Eric but the dragon was able to trip a couple of the weaker putties off their feet and managed to vanquish several more by punching them straight in the Z-Emblem.

They've got a feathered face, they've got a funny beak, IQ of under 10, they're loud and noisy!

"Here we come!" Eric turned to see several Tengas flying at him. The Tengas scratched, clawed and pecked at Eric with their talons and beaks but the young dragon was able to dodge and parry some of their attacks.

They smell like spoiled fish on a hot, hot summer's day, cross-eyed and crazy nuts who fly above us!

"Lets get them, boys!" Next a school of Piranhatrons joined the brawl. The fish-like warriors rode in on motorcycles with laser guns mounted to them and fired them at Eric. Fortunately the Piranhatrons were bad shots and missed him but Eric blasted the motorcycles with the Thunder Max blaster, causing them to explode and sending their riders flying through the air. Some of the defeated Piranhatrons melted into brown goo when defeated.

Ugly, ugly birdies in the sky, Rangers gonna get you, watch the Tenga watch the Tenga watch the Tenga, Tenga Bye Bye!

Then a cadre of Quantrons approached. The robots proved to be more efficient fighters than their forbearers and slashed at Eric with their blade weapons, forcing Eric to use the Thunder Max Saber. Three Quantrons came at Eric. He was able to dodge a swipe from one of the Quantrons and blocked another's blade weapon with his own. Another rushed at him but he managed to kick it in the chest and send it spiraling back before shoving the one he was parrying. Another Quantron came at Eric but he was able to slash the grunt with his blade, and then pointed the blaster at another Quantron, blasting it.

Bird brain, don't mess with me, cause you ain't got a chance, we're gonna send you back to the bird sanctuary!

Next a swarm of Sting Wingers came at Eric, the buzzing of their wings irritating him. The Sting Wingers clawed at Eric with their sickle arms but the dragon managed to repulse them back with his fiery breath.

Where you will spend your days learning to basket weave, don't know you better run? Why don't you just fly away?

The swarm of Sting Wingers was quickly replaced by a swarm of Kelzak Furies. The centipede-like aliens came at Eric with their own sickle weapons and ninjato. The Kelzak Furies were a little smarter than the Putties, Tengas and Piranhatrons, but they possessed the strength of the Quantrons; they were somewhat difficult to defeat. Eric had no choice but to repel them with lasers from the Thunder Max Blaster and gouts of fire from his mouth.

Ugly, ugly birdies in the sky, Rangers gonna get you, Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Tenga Bye Bye!

Finally the Tyrannodrones joined the battle, the saurian monsters snarled and growled as they charged at Eric. The young dragon swiveled and parried the strikes from the Tyrannodrones. Eric swung his tail and knocked a drone off its feet and smashed another with his tail in the chest. Eric turned as three more Tyrannodrones charged at him but he shot them in the torso with his blaster, knocking the dinosaurs off their feet. Another two Tyrannodrones came at Eric but the dragon punched them in the chest before they could land a blow from their sickle weapons. The Kelzak Furies rejoined the fight to aid the Tyrannodrones. Eric was able to push some back with punches and kicks and managed to defeat a couple of each with slashes from the Thunder Max Saber.

1, 2, 3, 4,

Suddenly four Sting Wingers flew at Eric and spontaneously exploded sending Eric and any nearby foot soldiers flying from the force of the explosion. Eric had the wind knocked out of him when he smashed against a wall and groaned as he groggily got back to his feet. "Ooh! That's gonna leave a mark!" Ivan Ooze giggled from watching the battle. It was then that Eric remembered that in their last invasion the Sting Wingers had been used as suicide bombers and realized that the Sting Wingers he was fighting had bomb packs strapped to themselves and so were designed to self destruct if they so chose.

Lord Zedd, he ain't gonna help you, Old Rito ain't gonna help you, No, Goldar ain't gonna help you, we will make you fly away!

That's when Eric was hounded by a new group of enemies. They resembled human gang members with long dread locks and leather outfits but they had purple slimy skin. Eric recognized them as Ooze Men, Ivan Ooze's own personal foot soldiers. Eric attempted to breathe fire but because the wind was knocked out of him the result was only a small puff of flames. The flames melted some of the skin off of some of the Ooze Men but did little else to deter them. Some of the Ooze Men flung balls of sludge at him. The sludge bound Eric's mouth together as well as his legs. The Ooze Men grabbed Eric as some Kelzak Furies and Sting Wingers began to get ready to hack and slash into him. Before the villains could strike a feminine voice shouted over the din: "Not so fast!"

So you'd better learn a lesson, Thing about with whom you're messin' Turn around, run the other direction listen here to what I say!

That was when a petite, young woman dressed in a yellow ninja robe appeared and kicked away the Sting Wingers and punched away the Kelzak Furies and the Ooze Men. She then shouted: "Power Dagger!" and two yellow daggers materialized in her hands. She used the daggers to cut the ooze that bound Eric freeing him. The young dragon coughed and caught his breath. "Thanks, Aisha," Eric wheezed, recognizing his rescuer. The girl was surprised that he recognized him. They were then assaulted by Putties, Tengas, Piranhatrons and Quantrons. With the two of them fighting them off, however, they were easily able to best their assaulters. A small group of Sting Wingers and Tyrannodrones then charged at them but Eric was able to best them with a coordinated set of punches and kicks.

Ugly, ugly birdies in the sky, Rangers gonna get you Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Tenga Bye Bye!

Ivan Ooze frowned, "Leave it to teenagers to ruin my fun, well I've got a fun idea!" Ivan then pointed his hands at all the foot soldiers and purple lightening came from his hands and struck them. The foot soldiers were transformed into purple energy and merged together to form a single being. When the purple light faded a single large creature stood in front of Eric and Aisha. The creature was basically one of each of the foot soldiers: Putty Patroller, Z-Putty, Tenga, Ooze Man, Shadow Chromite, Piranhatron, Quantron, Sting Winger, Kelzak Fury and Tyrannodrone, all squeezed together in one mass and retaining the wings of the Tengas and the Sting Wingers. "Behold! My newest creation: the Combined Foot Soldier!" The creature growled in anger and charged at Eric and Aisha. The creature delivered a punch at Aisha and a kick to Eric, sending the two of them hurtling. The Combined Foot Soldier possessed the strength of ten men and so each punch and kick was enhanced by this strength.

Ugly, ugly birdies in the sky, Rangers gonna get you Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Tenga Bye Bye!

Eric growled in anger, he was getting tired of this battle. If this creature was going to use strong attacks against him he was going to use them right back. He withdrew his Earth Flail against and continually pounded the monster with it, sending it flying backwards. The Combined Foot Soldier got back on its feet then leapt into the air and attempted a flying kick but Aisha leapt into the air first and delivered a kick to the monster's torso sending it tumbling back to earth.

1, 2, 3, 4,

The Combined Foot Soldier growled angrily and swiped at Eric and Aisha who were able to deliver punches and kicks to it. "That's strange, at first it was able to pummel us, but now it looks like he's getting careless?" Eric observed.
"Since he's a mix of all those different monsters its as strong as all of them," Aisha panted while she explained, "but it also must be as stupid as all of those foot soldiers combined too so all of its pea-brains can work together making it clumsy and reckless." The explanation made sense to Eric who nodded in agreement. "I think it's time we finished this guy off!" Aisha declared and Eric nodded in agreement. Aisha leapt at the monster and did a double slash with her Power Daggers while Eric smashed the monster with his Earth Flail at the same time. The Combined Foot Soldier Monster growled in pain as energy sparked off it but it still wasn't destroyed.

Ugly, ugly birdies in the sky, Rangers gonna get you Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Watch the Tenga, Tenga Bye Bye!

That's when Eric spotted a black device strapped to the monster's back. It was one of the bomb packs that the Sting Wingers used and it gave Eric an idea. "Aisha, hold him, I have an idea!" Eric shouted. Aisha nodded in reply and leapt at the monster and grappled with the monster to distract and restrain it. "Hurry, I can't hold on much longer!" she shouted. Eric then ran behind the monster and pulled the strap on the bomb pack, activating it. "RUN!" Eric then shouted and both the Yellow Ranger and the Dragon ran as fast as they could from the monster. The Combined Foot Soldier howled one last time before it self destructed.

Ivan Ooze gritted his teeth in frustration, "Now you've gone and made me upset, Yellow Ranger," Ivan declared.
"You shouldn't have come back at all, Ivan Ooze, you should have stayed in your hyper lock chamber where you belong!" With that Aisha drew out her Power Morpher, a buckler that had a coin with the image of a Saber-Toothed Tiger on it. "Yellow Ranger Power!" With that Aisha transformed into the Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. She then summoned the Power Cannon, a huge bazooka that the Mighty Morphin Rangers used on several occasions and pointed it at Ivan Ooze with Eric's help. "Power Cannon, FIRE!" An enormous blast came from the bazooka and hit Ivan Ooze who frowned when he saw the blast come at him. The blast caused Ivan Ooze to explode into a slimy mess as gobs of purple ooze splattered all over the place. "That should take care of him for a while," Aisha sighed before de-morphing, presenting Eric with her true form. Aisha Campbell was a petite African American woman who was the second Yellow Mighty Morphin Ranger. She had been living in Africa to tend to sick animals there before the Zeo Rangers were formed. Aisha explained that she had come back to California to visit her hometown but had heard about the attacks in Stone Canyon and decided to check it out before finding Eric fighting the foot soldiers. Eric in turn explained his situation with Aisha and told her about the fighting between the Mighty Morphin and Dino Thunder Power Rangers. Aisha replied that she had something that might help them free the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from the grip of evil. With Aisha's help the two of them were able to teleport to Reef Side where the battle was taking place.
Here's chapter 2 of my Power Rangers fan fic. I took a long time to write this chapter that I realized that the data file was too big to fit the whole chapter so I decided to seperate it into two chapters which I will post the second part after this part. It's not exactly good unless you read both parts. Anyway I hope you enjoy it.
