[FangRX]

Last time on Power Rangers Unleashed:

Demi growled, rushing forward and barreling through the boys, lunging at April as her fangs appeared. “April, you know you want to join me, baby. You know how much fun this is? Not ever wanting food, not sleeping, basically doing whatever you want. We can rule together.”

“I don’t do ruling, Demi!” April yelled, feeling herself get pinned down and watching as Demi straddled her waist, pinning her hands over her head and making it where she couldn’t struggle. “Please, Demi…”

“Don’t beg. It takes the fun out of it,” Demi whispered, opening her mouth and placing her fangs over the throbbing vein in April’s throat. Before she got a chance to plunge them in, several red tinted blasts hit her in the back, flipping her over April and making her hit her back on the cold ground. “The hell!?”

Stepping into view with a smoking blaster, Destiny came over sidewalk, a cold determination on her face. “Boys, April, you can’t do this layin’ down,” she said, taking her Key and Caller in hand.

“Destiny!” April yelled, standing up and grabbing her blaster, running over to the young woman. “You sure you can do this?”

“Positive,” Destiny said, flipping the Caller open. “Unleashed Engage!” As the morph took place, Destiny was clad in the red suit of the Unleashed Red Ranger. “Let’s turn this up. We need to stop Dhamphin. Can we restrain Demi somehow?”

With a quick change into the Green Mystic Ranger, Richmond strung Demi up to the side of a building with the power over the earth he had in that suit, changing back to his regular suit. “That should hold for a bit.”

“Good. Dhamphin! Time’s up for you,” Destiny said, holding her Saber and Blaster out, firing two shots…

EPISODE 17: KEYS UNBOUND

“Geeps. Play it,” Destiny said, leading her team forward and firing several blasts at the same time, slashing down a Timbak that rushed her.

Filling the helmets at Destiny’s request, the theme from Mortal Kombat started to play, April’s laughter filling the air. The Rangers rushed forward, each of them slamming their swords and guns into the Timbaks and Golbaks, Drake slamming his Tri-Staff into one of the Eternaks’ chest, knocking it backwards.

“This girl gets cool points just for this song,” April snickered, landing a kick to a Timbaks’ chest as she rushed towards Demi. “Come on, girl. You have to get out of this.”

“Don’t talk,” Destiny said, slashing down a Golbak and knocking Dhamphin backwards. “Just subdue her somehow!” She hit her Belt, taking a Key from the buckle. “Unleashed Engage!” S.P.D. EMERGENCY rang out from the Caller in her hand, her Sword and Blaster being replaced by the Delta Blasters. She fired several rounds at Dhamphin, the blasts knocking the blonde backwards again.

“How?!” Dhamphin yelled as she rushed Destiny. She swung out with her leg, catching Destiny in the ribs before slamming her fist into her stomach. She yelled out as Destiny shot her in the arm, stumbling back as green blood seeped from between her fingers, coating her pale white skin. “You little tramp!”

“Thank you,” Destiny growled, slamming her foot out and catching Dhamphin just under her bust, flipping her backwards into a duo of sword slashes from Alec and Richmond. “April, how you doing over there?” She turned her head to look, seeing April and Demi locked in basically a struggle for supremacy. “April?”

“Get to you in a minute, thanks!” April growled, slashing down at Demi and cutting her friend’s arm, drawing black-tinted blood. “Demi, please! Think about Selena!”

Demi, who had started rushing towards April again, stopped in her tracks as images played in her head of her daughter’s birth and the small ice cream date between the two of them and Alec a few weeks before. She shook her head and slammed her fist into April’s stomach, knocking the Pink Ranger backwards before snapping a kick to her head. “Shut up!” she snarled, kicking April’s weapons away. “I’ll end you, Pink Ranger!”

“Demi, please….don’t do this,” April whispered, forcing her morph to let go so she could look at her best friend. “Come back to me…”

Dhamphin snarled, throwing the boys back and standing up, rushing over to Demi and grabbing her by the arm. “Let’s go,” she hissed, the two vanishing in a burst of black fire.

April stood up and wiped her eyes, fear replacing the sadness. She looked at Destiny who was letting her morph fall, and she ran over and slugged her hard in the face. “Where the hell where you!?” she snarled, slamming both hands into the Red Ranger. “We needed you, and you show up when it’s fucking convenient for you!?”

Destiny stumbled backwards, letting April’s assault continue. She knew she deserved it, and she knew she didn’t have the answer that her friend wanted. “April,” she finally said, grabbing her friend’s hands. “I’m sorry. Alright? I’m sorry for not being here when you needed me. I’m sorry I was trying to work through my own personal dilemmas before I started fighting. I’m so sorry…”

April freed her hands from Destiny’s hugging the other girl tightly. “And I’m sorry for just now…” she said, sighing softly. “I’m just…I don’t know what to do. I don’t know…how to get her back, how to break Dhamphin’s hold, reverse the toxins, none of it. I’m…for the first time, lost.”

“Come on,” Destiny said, rubbing April’s arm. “Let’s get back to the ship and find a way to fix this. And then I can tell you how I decided to stop moping and join the fight.” She looked at the others, nodding softly. “Let’s go, boys.”

“Yes, ma’am,” the three men said, Alec hitting the four digit command on his Caller and summoning the ship before the six Rangers went up.

As the five Rangers slumped down in chairs across the galley, Geeps fluttered over and sat in Destiny’s lap, the Red Ranger rubbing his head lightly. “I’m glad that you decided to join us, Destiny,” he said, flapping his wings a bit. “But…why did you come back? I’m curious about that, actually.”

“Yeah, same here,” Richmond said, coming from the kitchen with bottles of water in his hands. “I mean, last we heard, you weren’t ready to fight, still hating that we asked you to help.”

“Yeah, I’m sorry about that,” Destiny sighed, rubbing her arms. “I just…I had to get my head on right, and I didn’t know how to do that without flipping out.”

“It’s alright. We’re all used to having things taken from us,” Alec said, giving Destiny’s shoulder a squeeze. “Go take a shower, then you can talk. We waited this long. We can wait another forty-five minutes.”

“Alright,” Destiny said, nodding softly before she stood up and headed out, closing the door to the room she had before gathering a bit of clothes and stripping down. As she stepped under the blazing hot water, the Red Ranger couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. “I’ll make this up to you…all of you…”

On the Blizkon, Demi snarled as she slammed a Golbak away from herself, her hands clenched. “That pathetic Pink!” she growled, snapping the Golbaks’ neck. She threw the corpse to the ground, screaming out and hitting the wall. Demi hit her knees, her hands tangled in her hair as images flashed through her mind of times long past.

“Come on, Demi!” she heard April’s voice yell, Demi herself heading the Cheer squad in a tournament. “You can do it, girl! Woohoo!!”

Soon her images changed, the day Alec threw her out of the way of the bomb from Filmas being the forerunner in her mind. “Hey, get off me!” she remembered yelling, shoving the Blue Ranger away before feeling her heart swell, her cheeks warming at how cute he was. “Umm…”

“Sorry,” Alec said, rubbing his neck softly. “I didn’t mean to hurt you if I did.”

“You didn’t.”

Demi hit her knees, slamming her fists into the wall. “No…I can’t turn back!” she snarled, tearing the pillow on her bed in half, white feathers falling around the room. “What’s happening to me?”

“I was afraid of this,” Dhamphin mused from the door, sighing lightly. “My conversion was never tested on a human, and I didn’t know how to proceed. Your natural defenses against viruses and infection are working against my toxin.”

“Help….me….”

“I can’t,” Dhamphin said lowly, kneeling beside Demi and putting her hand on the young woman’s cheek, regret in her eyes. “The toxins and your own body are going to fight against each other, killing you soon, my dear.”

“You did this to me….fix me!” Demi yelled, her hands finding Dhamphin’s throat. “NOW!”

“I am unable to!” Dhamphin pleaded, trying to get Demi off of her. Despite the young woman being close to Death’s door, she was still strong, Dhamphin’s face turning blue. “Demi…let go…”

Demi’s hands slacked, and she got up from the floor, Dhamphin’s coughing music in her ears. “Then what do I do?” she asked.

“Fight your enemy. With some help,” Dhamphin said, standing up and rubbing her neck, opening the door to the room and allowing a figure in, the corpse of Furyblaze, his eyes black and dead as his hands clenched and returned slowly. “When you drained Furyblaze this morning, love, you injected him with your own venom. He’s yours to control.”

“Interesting,” Demi whispered, blinking as she looked at Furyblaze. “Come. I want to try something.”
______________________

Destiny sighed as she sat on her bed, her shirt in hand as she slid into her shoes. Her brown hair fell in a curtain down her back, leaving a small trail of water going under the strap of her bra and down her spine. She pulled her shirt on, red with yellow patterns, taking her hair and putting it in a high ponytail, walking back into the main galley. “Hey…” she said, looking at the Rangers.

“Hey,” April said, smiling a bit. “You ok?”

“Just…tired, I guess,” Destiny said. “I haven’t slept since the night before the Occupation attacked, and it’s starting to catch up, I think.” She sat down on the couch, falling against April and sighing. “You ever…wonder what it’s like to die?”

“All the time,” Alec said. “Parts of all of us have died in some form or another. Richmond’s grandmother, my wife and daughter, Thomas’ family on Gojin Seven, April’s family on Earth, Demi’s planet, Drake’s home. All places and people that we’ve lost that shape our lives in ways we can’t see in the past when it happened.”

Destiny listened to Alec, biting her lip. “Kinu and Adira dying…” she said, wiping her eyes. “My family and friends. Everyone I loved.” She sighed lightly, blinking a bit to clear her vision.

“And if we don’t use their deaths as power, we’ll end up losing to the Empire, making it easy for them to screw Earth up,” April said, handing Destiny a tissue. “So, we turn our pain into power, use our family’s deaths as fuel to stop the enemy, and pray that one day we’ll see them again.”

“Wait. You said Demi’s planet,” Destiny said, cocking her eyebrow as she twisted the tissue in her hands. “I thought she was from Earth?”

“That’s what she tells people,” Richmond said. “She doesn’t realize that she’s from Bertrasis Seven, the same planet that Thomas helped destroy years ago. And…we need to try and keep it from her as long as we can.”

“Well, that’s kind of screwed up, but if you say so,” Destiny said, sighing.

The Rangers fell silent, the only sounds being Geeps pecking at some of the keys on the computer. April finally broke the silence, clearing her throat a bit. “Destiny? How did you make up your mind to come back and fight?” the Pink Ranger asked.

“Oh. That,” Destiny said, scratching her neck nervously. “How about I show you?”

“Show us?” Alec asked.

Destiny nodded, reaching over into the chest that held the Ranger Keys, taking the Red Mystic Force Key and slotting it in her Caller. “Unleashed Engage,” she said, twisting it as she was covered in the suit of the Red Mystic Ranger. “Galwit Mystio Memoriam!” A red swirl of energy appeared, passing through Destiny before it reached the computer screen, the image of Destiny sitting on the bench where Demi had left her.

Destiny sighed as she rubbed her arms, watching everyone around the street laughing and having a good time. “Damn,” she muttered, sitting back against the bench and taking the Red Key in hand again. “I wish I knew what to do…I don’t feel like I deserve to fight again…” A shadow crossed Destiny’s eyes, and the young woman looked up. “Sorry, would you mind getting out of the light, please?”

“Sorry,” a man’s voice said, sitting on the bench.

“Seriously?” Destiny asked. “Can I help you with anything or can I just get you to go away?”

The man chuckled, shaking his head. “Sorry. It’s a long way from Charterville, and I’ve been trying to find a motel to take a rest in. I’m Josh,” he said, turning and extending his hand.

“Destiny,” she said, shaking Josh’s hand. As she pulled away, she got a flash of something interesting, a white warrior designed like a Hercules beetle flashed through her mind, the young woman seeing a fight with a warrior in black. “Who are you?”

“I told you. My name is Josh Baldwin,” he said. “But, I guess you’re referring to the White Blaster Borg that you’re probably seeing in your head.”

“Yeah, that’d be it,” Destiny said, sighing. “But, what do you want from me?” She looked at Josh, trying to find a reason for his visit, but she kept coming up empty.

“Well, I know you’re struggling with something big. Trying to determine if you want to fight in a battle that doesn’t have anything for you when you win or not,” Josh said, smiling a bit.

“How do you know so much?”

“I was in a similar situation a long time ago,” Josh admitted, sighing. “My power as a Beetleborg was tied directly to the Shadowborg, one that was cloned from my friend Drew’s power as the Blue Stinger Borg. Flabber, our team ghost and mentor, I guess, gave me the power of the White Blaster Borg to fight Shadow. But, I was tied with him, and when Drew landed the death blow to Shadow, I lost my powers.”

Destiny nodded, understanding what he was saying. “Wow,” she said, sighing. “And I’m sitting here moping because I lost my world and my friends.”

“Destiny, losing your friends is a part of life. We can either sit back and let the world be taken over by the Empire, or we can get up and fight. Jo, Drew, and Roland fought in the Legend War a few years ago, giving up their powers by sacrificing themselves for the planet they loved. I knew my time as a Borg was short, but I didn’t care,” Josh said. “It’s part of life, and like I said, we can either let it happen or we can fight back.”

Before Destiny had a chance to say anything, a horde of Golbaks appeared, surrounding the two and making the street empty as everyone ran. Standing in front of the Golbaks, however, was a little four year old girl who held up her bubble gun at the Empire’s foot soldiers.

One of the Golbaks brushed the bubbles of his face, aiming his arm-mounted cannon at the young girl. Destiny leapt up and slammed the Key in the Caller, twisting it and morphing before throwing her sword and slamming it into the Golbaks’ arm, forcing him to turn and miss the child.

Destiny scooped the girl up, leaping over the rest of the Golbaks as a woman came running down the street. “Hannah! Hannah!” the older woman called, taking her daughter. “Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Destiny shook her head. “Don’t need to thank me,” she said, smiling softly under her helmet. “You’ll be safe now. Run.” Her sword reappearing in her hand, Josh snickered as he stood up. “What are you laughing about?”

“Watching you,” Josh said, rolling his shoulders and cracking his knuckles. “How you jumped in to save the kid.”

“Never let anyone get hurt was what my girlfriend told me,” Destiny said, smirking. “Let’s make this a show, Golbaks. Teach your boss that you can’t push us around.” She rushed forward, starting her assault. “Geeps! Where are the others?”

”They’re downtown. Demi and Dhamphin are back, and April’s getting trashed!” Geeps’ voice called out over the headset built into the helmet. ”Destiny. It’s good to have you back.”

“Good to be back,” Destiny said, firing several blasts.

With that, the images faded from the screen, Destiny putting the Red Mystic Key back in the chest. “So, yeah…I saw the girl almost get hurt, and I jumped in. That’s when I found you guys and helped out just now,” she said, sighing.

April stood up and hugged Destiny tightly, smiling softly. “I’m glad you’re here. But…I’ve got an idea to get Demi back, and seeing the girl in your memories gave me this thought,” she said. “I need to go for a bit. Call me if there’s trouble.” With that, she turned and took off, leaping off of the side of the ship and landing on the ground. She took off through town, a plan forming in her mind.

“What was that all about?” Destiny asked.

Alec started thinking, slapping his forehead. “Selena. Demi’s daughter.”
_________________________

On the Blizkon, Demi smirked as she looked at her “army” of Timbaks’ she’d converted into Vampires, her hands crossed on her stomach. “Now…to present you to Lord Drancon,” she said, turning and walking out with the Vampire Timbaks on her heels. She walked into the main bridge, two of the Timbaks at her back. “Lord Drancon.”

“Demetria,” Drancon said, turning his chair. “What do I owe this visit?”

“My army, sir,” Demi said, stepping to the side and revealing her converted Timbaks. “Converted Timbaks to take down the Rangers, and with the Rapparatta in our hands, anything we can throw at them will be enough to stop them.”

“Very well, young one,” Drancon said. “Take Dhamphin, Furyblaze, and your army and end the Rangers.”

“Yes, sir,” Demi said, turning on her heel and walking out, heading back to Dhamphin. “Dhamphin. Time to go.”

“What makes you think you can order me around?” Dhamphin asked, cocking her blonde eyebrow. “Well?”

“The fact that Drancon is giving me the lead. Now move out,” Demi snarled, grabbing Dhamphin and throwing her towards the door.

Dimas, having heard the conversation, smirked. “Perfect. End the Yellow Ranger and Dhamphin at the same time, and things will go smoothly for me from here out,” he mused, turning and vanishing in a burst of silver fire, reappearing down in the city.
________________________

Soon, the alarms rang out in the ship, alerting the Rangers to trouble. Destiny ran over and hit the keyboard, pulling up the map. “Movie theatre. Let’s go, guys,” she said, teleporting out of the ship and landing near the theatre, the others appearing beside her in a flash.

“Destiny,” Demi’s voice drawled, the young woman stepping out and looking dressed to kill. Clad in black leather pants and a black halter top, Demi was ready for the final fight with her friends, her hands clenched around a black lance in one hand and a gun in the other. “Well? Give me your best shot.”

“We have to keep her busy until April gets here,” Alec said. “Destiny?”

“Let’s Ranger up,” Destiny said, taking her Key and flipping it up, slotting it in the Caller.

“Unleashed Engage!”

“Silver Shift!”

As the Rangers morphed, Destiny fired at Dhamphin, the Vampire Queen blocking the shots with her blade. “I’ll take the ugly one. You guys keep Demi restrained and hold off the Timbaks until we get April here,” the Red Ranger said, firing again.

“Don’t have to wait for me,” April called, running onto the street with Selena in her arms. “Demi. I know how to get you back.”

“Mama!” Selena yelled, jumping out of the Pink Rangers’ arm and rushing over, ducking through Timbaks and Rangers legs to latch herself onto Demi’s legs. “Mama! Why you not come pick me up the other day?”

Demi stumbled backwards, looking at the young girl clinging to her leg. She growled lightly, trying to push Selena off of her before her head snapped up, remembering laughing with Selena over ice cream, introducing her daughter to Alec and her comments about him, and she fell to her knees. “Selena…” she whispered, her mind and body forcing Dhamphin’s toxins out of her neck, the black liquid turning into a vapor and disappearing.

“Mama!”

“Demi,” April said, running over and helping her stand up. “Come on. Let’s get Selena somewhere safe and come back and these things.”

“You go,” Demi whispered. “I want to own Dhamphin’s head on a platter.” She stood up, giving her daughter a squeeze and kissing her cheek. “Go with Aunt Appy, ok? I’ll come find you soon, sweetheart.”

“Oks, Mama!” Selena said, hugging her mother’s neck tightly and jumping down, running beside April.

“Unleashed Engage!” Demi yelled, twisting her Yellow Ranger Key in her Caller, slashing at Dhamphin who was trying to get to Destiny. “Dhamphin!”

“NO!” Dhamphin yelled, her hands clenched. “Nobody’s able to break out of my hold!” She rushed towards Demi, driving her foot into the Yellow Ranger’s chest. “How?!”

“Power of my family,” Demi snarled, slashing Dhamphin’s cloak and drawing blood across her stomach. “And now…I’m going to kill you.”

April rushed back in, morphing on her way through before driving a kick into one Timbaks’ chest, slashing down and drawing black blood. “Go, Demi! Though, I have to ask. How did these things get uglier?!” she asked, firing three rounds into one’s head.

“Yeah, that’d be my fault,” Demi said, slashing at Dhamphin and cutting her cheek. “I used the power I had thanks to this ugly hoe and mutated them to fight you guys. And that also goes for--oh, shit!”

At that moment, Furyblaze walked forward, sending a blast of fire out that caught Dhamphin’s cloak on fire, forcing her to shed it, revealing her usual attire of black clothes, as well as combat boots. “Kill the Rangers. Kill Dhamphin. Kill the Rangers,” Furyblaze droned in a monotone voice.

“I’ll deal with him,” Alec said, slashing and breaking off from his Timbaks he was fighting to rush Furyblaze. He rushed into a shoulder push, ramming his shoulder into Furyblaze’s stomach, dropping him before he dropped his elbow into his throat, throwing Furyblaze into the Timbaks. “Come on, Flamey-O.”

Furyblaze snarled, taking his sword from a black tuft of fire on his side, the handle made of bone instead of the polished Chrome it used to be. He met Alec’s blade in the air, the two locked in swordplay, neither gaining the upper hand.

Richmond and Drake were helping Destiny with the Timbaks, leaving Dhamphin to the Yellow and Pink Rangers. “Guys! Change it up!” Demi yelled, hitting her belt and taking a Key.

“Right!” the others yelled, each one taking a Key.

“Unleashed Engage!”

“Silver Shift!”

IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME! six Callers rang out, covering the Rangers in the Mighty Morphin’ Rangers suits, Drake as White Ranger. As they summoned their individual weapons, Destiny and Alec rushed Furyblaze, each one aiming to end the Fire-based general once and for all.

Demi took out the Power Daggers, stabbing at Dhamphin while April fired from the distance with the Power Bow, Drake and Richmond using Saba and the Power Axe to cut down more and more of the Timbaks. Drake slashed one down, kicking another into his buddies.

“Ok, question!” the Silver Ranger called, jumping backwards.

“What!?” Destiny asked.

“If we kill Dhamphin, anything created by her or that’s been created from one of her conversions dies as well, yes?” Drake inquired, ducking a swing.

“In theory,” Demi said, yelling out as she got hit in the chest, hitting her knees from Dhamphin’s assault. “At least, it should. Though when the toxin left me, it should have killed Furyblaze and the Timbaks!”

“It doesn’t work like that,” Dhamphin said, grabbing Demi by the neck and driving her knee into the Yellow Ranger’s stomach. “You don’t seem to grasp that you will never be free of me, love.”

“Listen, bitch, I’ll be free of you as soon as we stop you,” Demi snarled, blasting Dhamphin hard in the chest, getting released. “Richmond! You ever find that thing that Thomas talked about?!”

“The Destroyer? Yeah,” the Green Range replied, slamming his Axe into a Timbaks’ head, knocking it down. “But, might I suggest we use the Power Cannon first?”

“Good idea,” Destiny called, slashing out at Furyblaze and knocking him into the Timbaks, each of them snarling to get out of the mass of tangled limbs.

“Power Axe!” Richmond yelled, changing the Axe into the main body of the Cannon. “April!”

“Power bow!” April called, her bow attaching. “Alec!”

“Power Lance!” the Blue Ranger split the lance in half, tossing each half onto opposite sides of the cannon. “Demi?”

“Power Daggers!” Demi called out, tossing the Daggers up where they attached to the Cannon beside the pieces of the Lance. “Lady Leader!”

“Power Sword!” Destiny yelled finally, leaping up and placing her sword in the middle of the combination, lowering back down as everyone gathered around. “Power Cannon!” She focused the sights on Furyblaze and the Timbaks, her finger on the trigger. “Fire!” She gently squeezed, the large blast flying out and connecting with Furyblaze, engulfing him and the Timbaks in an epic fireball that left the ground singed as they dropped the Mighty Morphin’ suits. “Dhamphin!”

“Oh, Gnartz,” Dhamphin sighed. “And hell, since I‘m going to die anyway…” She shrugged and rushed forward, driving kicks and punches into each Ranger’s stomach or chest, throwing the boys into a pile while she slammed her head into Demi’s helmet, catching Destiny in the ribs. “You three ain’t so tough.”

“You did not,” Demi asked, slamming her sword into Dhamphin’s side, April kicking her in the stomach as Destiny snap kicked her head to the side. “Girls, why don’t we show this floozy how tough we really are.” She reached down and took another Key out of her belt, smirking.

“Couldn’t agree more, Demi,” Destiny said, her and April taking a Key in their own hands.

“Unleashed Change!” the three called out, their suits changing. “Spin Sword! Unleashed Trinity Slash!” As the three female Rangers slashed their Spin Swords down Dhamphin’s body, they leapt back to the boys who were picking themselves off of the ground.

“Richmond, you got that cannon ready?” Destiny asked.

“As ready as I’ll ever get it,” Richmond said, looking at his friends. “Just concentrate on it as we hit our belts.”

As the Rangers hit their belts again, five bursts of light came from within, forming into the Unleashed Destroyer. Pushing the handle forward, Destiny and the others held up their Keys, Drake twisting his Silver Ranger Key in his Tri-Staff. The Five Rangers flipped their Key’s around, putting them into the individual slots in the Destroyer as Destiny pulled the handle back, the keys snapping up and causing a targeting scope to form.

RED CHARGE

FINALE WAVE

“Unleashed Tri-Stab!” Drake yelled, leaping into the air and throwing his Staff, watching it sail through the air into Dhamphin. “Do it, guys!”

“Ultimate Blast! Unleashed Fire Storm!” the five Rangers yelled out, Destiny pulling the trigger. An image of the Uchuu Galleon blasted out of the double barrels on the front, Dhamphin just hanging her head.

“Oh, well. My brother, Faerin, and Frakis are nearing the planet. I’ll be avenged!” Dhamphin yelled, the blast connecting and searing through her, causing her to combust and line the street with fire.

Destiny held the cannon down, the smoking remains of Dhamphin laying on the ground. “She’s down. Four to go,” she said, sighing.

“And it ain’t going to be easy,” April mused, letting her morph fall. She turned and hugged Demi tightly, holding her best friend tightly. “You ever go evil on me again, and I will so freaking kill you!”

“Yes, ma’am,” Demi snickered, hugging April back. “Can we go back to the Galleon? I want some real food so I can sleep. I don’t want to be a vampire ever again….”

As everyone laughed, Destiny smiled. “Don’t worry, Thomas,” she said, looking up at the heavens. “I’ll make sure they’re alright. You have my word.” She smiled again, taking off after the others and jumping on Drake’s back, making the Silver Ranger laugh. The Rangers teleported back to the Galleon, content for the first time in a few days.

Drancon smirked, shaking his head. “Dhamphin got cocky. Let us hope that the three of you do better,” he said, turning to the rest of the Outlying: Mumman, Faerin, and Frakis, each holding their Keys up.

On the far side of town, Dimas rushed into the forest. “Perhaps…the time is come for my final plan…”

What could Dimas be planning? And with the five Keys of Deletion in Drancon’s hand, what’s stopping him from turning them on and blowing up the Earth?!

FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS UNLEASHED
