Power Rangers Zeo - Venusian Encounters, Heather Ray [e reader pdf best .txt] 📗

Thursday night, we get our diplomas, and get out of here."

"Yeah," said Rocky, "it's kinda scary, when you think about it."

"I know," said Tommy, "In a few days, both of us will have graduated! Did you make any plans, Rocko?"

"I'm going to open up my own dojo in Stone Canyon," he said with a smile, "Its been my dream since I was a kid!"

"That's good," said Tommy, "I'm going to Brown in the fall."

"Wow," gasped Rocky, "you got into an Ivy League university?!"

"Don't be too surprised," said Tommy with a smirk.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way."

"It's okay, it was a big shock to me too. I never thought I'd be accepted, but my dad insisted I apply. And I'm in. So I'm going."

"You don't sound too happy about it," Rocky observed.

"Yeah, well I can't stay on the team if I go to Rhode Island," he said in an even lower voice, "I won't have the time, much less the fact that I won't even be on the West Coast anymore. You guys'll need a replacement."

"Well, we don't have to worry about it yet," said Rocky, "You don't start school until the end of August. I'm sure You-Know-Who knows what to do in this situation."

Just then, Tommy's communicator sounds. Tommy quickly covers his wrist, and looks around warily. As of now, they were sitting down in the back row of the graduating class.

"We gotta sneak out," whispered Tommy, quietly pushing the folding chair he was sitting on back. Rocky followed Tommy's example, and the two managed to push their chairs out of the row. Then, they quickly got up, and took cover beneath the bleachers. "What's happening, Zordon?" asked Tommy.

^YOU MUST REPORT TO THE POWER CHAMBER IMMEDIATELY,^

the old sage said, ^WE HAVE RECEIVED AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM AQUITAR.^

"Oh no," whispered Rocky, "Do you think something happened to Billy?"

"We'd better find out," said Tommy, and the Red and Blue Zeo Rangers vanished. Momentarily, they appeared in the Power Chamber, accompanied by fellow rangers Katherine Hillard, Adam Park, and Tanya Sloan.

"What's happening?" asked Rocky.

"TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VIEWING GLOBE,"

said Zordon. The five rangers turned around, and saw the five Aquitian Rangers -- Delphine, Aurico, Cestro, Tideus, and, and Corcus.

^Rangers of Earth,^

said Delphine, ^it is good to see you again. If that it were not such dire circumstances that now bring us together.^

"What's going on, Delphine?" asked Tommy.

^Rangers, Aquitar has been attacked by a space pirate named Divatox.^

"Who?" asked Tanya.

"DIVATOX WAS A VENUSIAN PRINCESS,"

explained Zordon, "BUT SHE TRIED TO USURP HER SISTER NAYA'S THRONE. SHE WAS DEFEATED, AND BANISHED FROM VENUS FOREVER..."

"I remember this story!" said Katherine, "She cast a spell, draining all the water from Venus, making the entire planet uninhabitable. That's why the Venusians now live on Earth, on Venus Island."

^We are not familiar with the Venusians,^

said Cestro, ^but Billy suggested we contact you to learn more of their abilities.^

"Why did she attack Aquitar?" asked Adam.

^She wants the Sword of Tympanus,^

said Aurico, ^and she threatens to destroy Aquitar if we do not deliver it.^

"The Sword of Tympanus?" asked Tommy, turning to Zordon.

"THE SWORD OF TYMPANUS IS THE SIBLING WEAPON OF THE STAFF OF TYMPANUS, THAT EMPOWERS THE GOLD RANGER. THE SWORD IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL, AND CONTAINS ENERGIES COMPARABLE TO THE ZEO CRYSTAL."

"Then we have to keep Divatox from getting her hands on it," said Rocky, turning back to the Viewing Globe, "Aquitians, Divatox has magical powers capable of destroying planets! You have to take her out fast!"

"RANGERS, IF DIVATOX DRAINS EVEN A LITTLE WATER FROM AQUITAR, THE AQUITIAN RANGERS WILL BE GREATLY WEAKENED. THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DEFEND THE PLANET WITHOUT HELP."

"Well, there's only one option," said Tommy, "we have to go help them."

^Your aid would be greatly appreciated, Rangers of Earth,^

said Corcus.

"Its the least we can do," said Katherine, "If it weren't for you five coming to Earth when Mastervile made us all children, the entire planet would be under his control. Or worse."

"But, if we go all the way to Aquitar, what happens to Earth?" asked Rocky.

"Yeah," said Tanya, "I doubt Zedd would miss out on a chance to attack when the rangers aren't around."

"THERE IS ONE OPTION. ALPHA FIVE, PLEASE ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS WITH VENUS ISLAND."

"You're gonna call Kim?" asked Tommy.

"SHE HAS THE POWER OF THE NINJETTI TO FIGHT WITH, AS WELL AS AN ARMY OF LOYAL VENUSIAN WARRIORS. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEND EARTH UNTIL YOU RETURN."

Chapter Seven

Meanwhile, far away from any other land mass, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, is the mystical Venus Island. This island is entirely populated by a race of beautiful, yet powerful women who were originally from Venus, but were forced to take refuge on Earth when Divatox destroyed the planet by eliminating the water supply. Atop the high mountain on the center of the isle is a city of silver and white. This city is where the Venusians dwell, called Ambrosia. The highest structure in Ambrosia is a pearly white palace. Behind the palace is an elegant rose garden, with blossoms of every color imaginable. Here is where Kimberly, the Queen of the island, is spending her afternoon, watering the flowers.

"Kim!" called a voice from the palace. Kimberly looked up, and smiled when she saw her good friend Renee Ryan wave at her. The tall, dark enchantress clad in an orange toga ran over to the queen, and kneeled beside her on the grass.

"Kim, what are you doing? I've been looking for you for ages!"

"I'm watering the flowers, of course," said Kimberly, "It hasn't rained in ages, and roses need water."

"Why are you doing it?" Renee inquired, "You could've asked me to conjure up a little raincloud or something."

"Nah, it's okay," said Kimberly, turning back to the bush of lavender roses, "Back home, I took care of a garden. I watered each plant by hand, and sang to them, and everything. I enjoyed it. Actually, I kinda missed it."

"Well, sorry to disturb you, but there's a message for you on the Mirror."

"Really?" asked Kim, standing up, "From Zordon?"

"Yep."

Kimberly looked up at the highest tower of the palace, where her bedroom is. She sighed.

"Well," she said, "its much easier to fly up there than walk up those stairs."

Kimberly closed her eyes, and was bathed in a soft pink light. When the light faded, Kimberly's human form melted, revealing a graceful pink crane. The crane spread its wings, and soared high into the air, and into the large open window of her bedroom. She landed in front of the full length mirror, and transformed back into human form. She waved her hand over the glass of the mirror, and an image of the Power Chamber appeared. "Sorry to keep you waiting," she said, "I was in the garden."

^IT IS ALRIGHT. KIMBERLY, I HAVE DIRE NEWS. AQUITAR HAS BEEN ATTACKED.^

Kimberly gasped. "Is Billy okay?"

^For now,^

said Tommy, ^but the Aquitian Rangers need help. They've never battled anyone like this before.^

"Who are they up against?"

^Divatox,^

said Tanya grimly. Kimberly scowled.

"You're right then, they do need help! If Divatox casts the dehydration spell, the entire planet will be dry as a desert!"

^We're getting ready to go now,^

said Adam, ^Hopefully the Zeo Rangers can help out. But, we don't want to leave Earth unprotected.^

"Relax, gang," said Kimberly, "I can have a team of Venusians at the Power Chamber within the hour. We can watch over Earth while you're gone."

^Thanks, Kim,^

said Rocky.

"Don't mention it. Besides, this is my planet too, and no way am I gonna let some alien scumbags try to conquer it! I'll be there as soon as I can."

Kim once again waved her hand over the mirror, and the image reverted back to her reflection. Kim sighed, as she gazed at her reflection.

"Well," she said, "its time to get cracking! I summon the power of Ninjetti!!"

Kim held her hand to the sky, and a badge of silver, with an image of a Crane appeared. It sparked with pink electricity, and the electricity transformed Kim's dress into her Ninjetti uniform. She was wearing a long-sleeved hot pink leotard, trimmed with black, and a silver badge on the center of her chest, with the Crane emblazoned on its surface. She wore high black boots, silver armbands, and a soft pink cape, which reached her ankles. Kim ran to the window, and leapt to the ground level, twenty stories down. She landed as gracefully as a feather. Renee's eyes were wide, and she let out a sigh.

"Don't you ever do that again!" she cried, "You scared the crap outta me!!"

"We gotta get to the Power Chamber," said Kimberly, "Where are the Guardians?"

"Practicing their new Ninjetti skills, most likely," said Renee, "That's all they've been doing since they made the trip to Phaedos to unite with their spirit guides."

"Well, get ready to rock and roll, Tiger!"

Chapter Eight

In the Power Chamber, five streaks of bright light cut through the relative darkness, pink, orange, gold, lavender, and turquoise. When the light faded, the five Zeo Rangers were standing face to face with five beautiful women. The ones in orange, lavender, and turquoise all wore identical colored uniforms, consisting of bikini tops and leggings of their color, a black sheer skirt, long black boots and gloves, a band on their foreheads, and a golden badge on their chests with various animals on them. The blonde woman wore gold armor with yellow leggings, and the pink one wore a leotard trimmed with silver and black. The pink one smiled at everyone, and immediately was greeted with a tight embrace from Tommy.

"Hey, Beautiful," he said, lifting her off the ground, "Long time no see."

"Too long," Kimberly giggled, as he put
