War of Time Episode 11: Gridster Destroyed

Act 1
Scene 1
Setting: The Moon Palace. Gridster is staring at the Rebel ships.

Gridster: I fear whoever is inside those ships will become a problem. They've already attacked the planet. If they think I'm going to share it with them they are sadly mistaken.

He gets a concerned look on his face.

Gridster: Hmmm, I bet they've had the same thought. They will attack me if they did. I will have to strike them with everything I have. I will have to decide which monsters to send to their ships. They will have to be the strongest I have.

Scene 2
Setting: Inside Transport 1. Commander Tigris is meeting with his Generals.

Commander: We shall attack the Moon at once.

Raznor: Our spies have returned with info on the creature that lives there. His name is Gridster. Apparently he is the only one trying to conquere this world besides us.

Blizzard: That should make things a little easier.

Callard: Once we get rid of him those Rangers will be all that stand in our way.

Commander: Silence! Let Raznor finish his report.

Blizzard and Callard: Sorry sir.

Commander: Continue Raznor.

Raznor: He is planing to attack us as we speak.

Commander: Then we prepair to attack at once. All of you go!

Raznor, Callard, and Blizzard: Yes sir.

They leave the room.

Act 2
Scene 1
Setting: The command room of Time Force Headquarters. The Rangers are all there with Captain Logan.

Logan: Just how much do we know about the force that attacked the other day?

Victor: We encountered them on Tigris. They were trying to take over the planet.

Logan: Anything else?

Max: Not really. We only faced off against them a few times.

Tai: And I don't think they resisted us much.

Kara: Maybe they really are that weak.

Joe: I doubt it. My guess is that they know as much about our power as we do theirs.

Karen: What does that have to do with it.

Logan: Plenty. They wouldn't want to send their most elite forces out if only the weakest are needed They will probably send stronger and stronger monsters until they find some that can beat us.

Tai: Or until they get mad and just unload their full power on us.

Victor: We should do our best to avoid that. We don't want to find out that they can blow up the whole planet with a single strike or anything like that.

Logan: Good point. I'll have the technicians start some analysis of the signals we've picked up, as well as the information from the battle. Hopefully they can find some kind of answers for us.

Victor: We'll be on alert from now on.

Logan: I suggest you guys go train for a while.

The Rangers get up and leave the room.

Scene 2
Setting: The Moon Palace. Gridster has just finished placing some small monster statues in front of him. One of them seems to be mostly mouth. Another has 3 interwinding spirals that look like smoke. The third looks like a set of garden clippers. The fourth looks like a cattle prod.

Gridster: These will be the strongest monsters I've ever created.

He waves his arms around as he stands in front of the statues.

Gridster: Spirits of evil fill these statues with your power and give them life!

Beams of light can be seen swirling around the room and entering the statues.

Gridster: Rise my evil minions!

The statues begin to blink. They start to expand, slowly at first, then they shoot up to full size. The blinking stops and they all take a deep breath.

The mouth monter: I am Megamunch. How may I serve you?

The spiral monster: Trismoke is ready.

The garden clippers: I am Clipper. What do you desire?

The cattle prod: Electrod's the name. Shocking is my game.

Gridster: Excellent. You will be my army against the invaders from space.

Trismoke: What invaders?

Gridster creates a hologram in front of the monsters. It shows the Rebel ships. After a few moments it changes to scenes from the Ranger's last battle.

Gridster: As you can see I have some unwelcome company trying to destroy the Rangers. I want you monsters to eliminate them.

Megamunch: I'll eat everything they've got!

Trismoke: They are no match for my illusions.

Clipper: I'll be happy to cut them down to size.

Electrod: And I'll be sure to fry them for you.

Gridster: I'm glad you are ready. We will launch our assult soon.

The monsters cheer in excitement.

Scene 3
Setting: Transport 1. Commander Tigris is looking at some monsters that have been brought before him.

Commander: Raznor, are these the best monsters you could come up with.

Raznor: On such short notice, yes.

Commander: Introduce me to them.

Raznor: Of course.

He points to a golden colored monster. It is nothing more than a round orb with arms and legs. It is golden colored and seems to glow a bit.

Raznor: This is Sunbeam.

Sunbeam: My power can burn any foe to a crisp in seconds.

Commander: Excellent. I think we'll send him to the moon.

Raznor: This one is Isolator.

Isolator is medium build. He is all white except for his glowing green eyes. One of his arms is shaped like a ray gun.

Isolator: With my radiation gun I'll seperate my enemies into atoms.

Commander: You shall go to Earth then and take care of those Rangers.

Isolater: As you wish sir.

Commander: Now both of you go.

Both monsters begin to leave the room.

Commander: Sunbeam.

Sunbeam turns.

Sunbeam: Yes sir?

Commander: Make sure you take a large army of Razor Mites with you.

Sunbeam: Gladly.

Isolator leaves the room with Sunbeam close behind.

Raznor: Are you sure it's a good idea to attack on two fronts at once?

Commander Tigris turns to Raznor and grabs him.

Commander: Are you questioning my decision?

Raznor: NO! It's just that....

Commander Tigris cuts him off and lets go.

Commander: If the Rangers detect our presence on the moon they may interfere. This way they will be busy on the planet and unable to get in my way.

Raznor: I see.

Commander: You would be wise to get out of my site before I question your loyalty.

Raznor: Right away!

He scrambles to get out of the room.

Scene 4
Setting: The commmand room of Time Force headquarters. The Rangers are just walking into the room.

Max: What have you got for us?

Logan: We've been able to get some info about these Rebels.

Tai: So let us have it already.

Captain Logan turns to an agent near one of the consoles.

Logan: Bring it up on the screen.

Agent: Yes sir.

On the main screen an image of all three Tigris transport ships appears.

Logan: There are three total ships. We have gathered a lot of information from signals we intercepted between them.

Joe: What kind of information?

Logan: We have information about those things you fought the other day. We also gathered info about the commanders of each ship, and the head of it all.

Victor: Great.

Tai: Fill us in already!

Logan: Next image.

Agent: Comming up.

The image changes into a Razor Mite.

Logan: We've uncovered some information about these as well. They are called Razor Mites. They are strong, but I think once you get used to their fighting styles you should be able to handle them as easily as Gridster's Destroyers.

Kara: It'll take more than a little practice to get used to it.

Logan: I know. We are working on a training simulator to speed up the process.

Karen: That will help.

Logan: Next image.

The image splits into three. Raznor, Callard, and Blizzard appear.

Logan: These are the ships Generals. They are the second in commands for the entire Rebel army. From left to right are General Raznor, General Callard, and General Blizzard.

Max: They look tough.

Victor: I imagine we'll have to fight them eventually.

Tai: I'm looking forward to putting them outta my misery.

Karen: I just hope we don't have to fight them anytime soon.

The image changes again and Commander Tigris appears.

Tai: That dude is ugly!

Logan: That is Commander Tigris. He is the brains behind the whole rebelion. If we stop him we stop all of them.

Kara: Is there some way we can just take him out and get it over with?

Logan: I'm afraid not. He is protected by his Generals as well as three ships full of monsters and Razor Mites.

An alarm goes off.

Joe: Now what?

Agent: A monster has appeared in the city.

Logan: Is it Gridster's or the Rebel's?

Agent: Rebel.

Logan: Are you guys ready?

Victor: Always.

Act 3
Scene 1
Setting: The surface of the moon. In a flash of light Sunbeam and an army of Razor Mites appear.

Sunbeam: Wow. Just look at this dump. Nothing around at all. Why would anyone wanna live here?

One of the Razor Mites taps him on the shoulder.

Razor Mite: What are our orders?

Sunbeam: Well we're suppose to be attacking that Gridster fellow. I suggest we find where he is.

Another Razor Mite approaches.

Razor Mite: General Raznor sent this map along. It should lead us straight to Gridster's hideout.

Sunbeam quickly snatches the map from the Razor Mite.

Sunbeam: Excellent.

He looks at the map, then at the surrounding landscape.

Sunbeam: Hmmm. Yes. I see. That's it!

He turns 20 degrees south and points.

Sunbeam: That way! Let's move out.

The army of Razor Mites moves in the direction he pointed. After they all start walking he quickly runs to the lead.

Sunbeam: This will be my greatest victory.

Scene 2
Setting: Inside the Moon Palace. Gridster is speaking with his monsters. Suddenly he jolts back in shock.

Trismoke: What's wrong Master?

Gridster: The enemy is here. All of you line up.

The four monsters stand in a straight line.

Gridster: They brought some extra help. Destroyers!

A group of Destroyers appears behind the monsters.

Gridster: This is it. The outcome of this battle decides my fate. One thing for you all to remember is if I die, you die. I am your creator and master. You will defeat the invaders or die trying. Understood?

All the Destroyers and monsters yell out: Yes sir!

Gridster: Good. Now go!

The monsters and Destroyers all run out of the room. In mere moments Gridster can see them exiting the palace and heading off to fight the Tigris Rebels. Gridster has a sick look on his face.

Gridster: Now I know how Zedd and Rita must have felt when I attacked them.

Scene 3
Setting: The surface of the moon. Gridster's forces are standing there as the Rebel forces arrive.

Sunbeam: Which one of you is Gridster?

Clipper: Gridster sent us to destroy you.

Sunbeam: Oh really? He doesn't even fight his own battles. What a coward.

Megamunch: And I suppose you are the head of whatever loser group is invading the Earth?

Sunbeam: Not likely. That honor belongs to Commander Tigris.

Electrod: Then you have no room to insult Gridster.

Trismoke: For those comments you will all perish.

Sunbeam: Forgive me if I don't tremble in fear.

Clipper: You will by the time we're done here.

Sunbeam: Enough talk. Let's get this over with. Razor Mites, destroy them all!

The Razor Mites charge towards Gridster's troops.

Megamunch: Destroyers, charge!

The Destroyers clash head on with the Razor Mites. In the initial clash about a dozen Destroyers are knocked down. The Razor Mites have no problem making it look as if they are winning. However they do have problems finishing the Destroyers off. Most of the Razor Mites try to impale the robotic Destroyers. Very few of these attacks actually penetrate the Destroyers armor. The few that do cause little damage. After a few minutes the Destroyers manage to get back up and start clobbering the Razor Mites. The Mites defend by trying to decapitate the Destroyers. Only one succeeds in doing so. Just seconds afterward the Destroyer explodes, taking down several Razor Mites and Destroyers alike.

Sunbeam: What was that!

Electrod: These Destroyers are equipped with a special self destruct feature. It comes in handy if they are losing the battle.

Sunbeam: How crafty. Razor Mites! Subdue them alive. Deactivate them and they explode.

One of the Razor Mites has an idea. He yells to the others.

Razor Mite: Follow my lead!

The rest of the Mites yell in agreement. He runs up to a Destroyer and kicks him into a few more. He then rushes up, grabs it's head, and twists till it explodes. The blast destroys him, but also the other Destroyers. Soon all the Razor Mites have their hands on Destroyers heads. In one large blast the whole group, both Destroyers and Razor Mites, is vaporized.

Trismoke: You dirty underhanded.....

Sunbeam cuts him off.

Sunbeam: You do what you must to win.

Clipper: Look on the bright side guys. Now there are four of us and just one of him.

Sunbeam looks around quickly and nervously.

Sunbeam: Oh crap. He's right!

Megamunch: Look's like we have the deciding vote here. I say we take this loser down.

Sunbeam: You will find that a bit difficult I'm affraid.

Trismoke: Whatever. Let's go.

Gridster's monsters race towards Sunbeam.

Scene 4
Setting: The Moon Palace. Gridster is watching the battle.

Gridster: I can't believe they would be so stupid as to sacrifice their whole army to beat a small portion of mine. I'm beginning to feel better about this situation.

Scene 5
Setting: Transport 1. Commander Tigris is also watching the battle.

Commander: I can't believe how stupid they are! What is Sunbeam doing down there? He knows he doesn't stand a chance.

Raznor: He still has his secret weapon. It should be more than enough to finish off those half rate monsters.

Commander: True. Let's just hope for your sake he can survive that onslaught long enough to use it.

Raznor gets a nervous look in his eye.

Raznor: Yes sir.

Scene 6
Setting: The battle on the moon.

Sunbeam: You will soon meet your death.

Megamuch lashes out at Sunbeam. Sunbeam quickly raises his arm to block. As soon as he does Megamunch grabs it in his jaws.

Sunbeam: Let go of me.

Megamuch (muffled): Hehehehehe.

Clipper charges forward and swings at Sunbeam. He blocks the hit with his other arm, which then falls to the ground. Sunbeam screams in pain.

Sunbeam: Look what you did.

In a fit of rage he swings his other arm hard. The force is swift enough to break out several of Megamunch's teeth and send him flying off into the distance.

Sunbeam: You will pay for that.

He uses his good arm to focus light energy into a ball. He laughs and aims it at Clipper. Just as he is releasing them beam four Trismoke monsters grab hold of him. Meanwhile Electrod pulls Clipper out of the way just in time to miss being destroyed by the blast.

Sunbeam: Hmm. Your stupid illusions won't work on me. He punches out at one of the monsters. His hand goes right through it.

Trismoke: You were saying.

Sunbeam: Ahhh.

He tries several more times to hit Trismoke, missing every shot. Tired of toying with him Trismoke removes the three illusions and smacks Sunbeam in the back of the head.

Trismoke: You are a joke.

Sunbeam: We'll see about that.

He prepares to fire another light beam but before he can release it his body lights up with what looks like lightning bolts. After a few moments the bolts cease. Sunbeam falls to the ground in pain from the shock. Electrod is standing behind him.

Electrod: This guy is fun. Maybe we should keep him for a training dummy.

Megamunch rejoins the group. He is bleeding a bit from the mouth where the teeth broke out.

Megamuch (somewhat mumbled): Let's just finish this goon off.

Clipper: Looks like he busted your chops good.

Megamuch slaps him beside the head.

Megamuch: Shut up.

Clipper: It was just a joke.

Trismoke: I agree about finishing this. Gridster will be pleased with us.

Electrod: Let's do it then.

The four monsters rush at Sunbeam. He is barley alive.

Sunbeam: You win this round. But I promise the next time you cross the Tigris Rebels you will not be so lucky.

He teleports away just as the monsters reach him.

Electrod: We did it.

Trismoke: For now. We shall have to prepare for the next time.

Clipper: They will send stronger foes. I don't know if we can defeat them.

Megamunch: Let's just get back to Gridster.

The 4 monsters teleport away.

Act 4
Scene 1
Setting: Time Force headquarters. The Rangers are in the command room.

(Time Amethyst Morphing Sequence)
(Time Onyx Morphing Sequence)
(Gold Lithium Morphing Sequence)

Scene 2
Setting: The area of the city where Isolator is attacking. The Rangers teleport in.

Isolator: Hello Rangers. Glad you could finally drop in.

Victor: The party's over.

Isolator: We'll see. I am Isolator. You will never survive my radiation gun.

Max grabs him from behind.

Max: You won't get the chance to use it.

Isolator: Why you dirty.... Cheap shot!

Tai: Let's take him.

Tai and Joe both punch him in the stomach at the same time. It doesn't even phase him.

Isolator: Is that all you have?

Joe: Uh oh.

Karen: Let us try.

Karen kicks him in the head and Kara sweeps his legs out from under him.

Max: Wait, don't do that!

He loses his grip on Isolator. The monster zips away from the Rangers without even touching the ground.

Isolator: Nice moves, but I think some teamwork would suit you all better.

Victor: Shut up.

He drop kicks from the side. Isolator grabs his ankle and calmly tosses him down onto the pavement.

Isolator: This is going to be boring. I'll just finish it now.

He holds out his radiation gun and points it at the Rangers.

Tai: Watch it! He's gonna fire!

Isolator: Radiation Gun!

The area in front of the gun begins to warp as the radiation takes effect. Holes burn in the Rangers' suits and they begin to flicker.

Victor: We can't take any more of this.

Max: My power seems to be shielding me.

Kara: Let's take it up a level.

Victor, Tai, Karen, Kara, and Joe: WE NEED ULTIMATE POWER, NOW!

(Ultimate Fire Transformation)
(Ultimate Lightning Transformation)
(Ultimate Diamond Transformation)
(Ultimate Amethyst Transformation)
(Ultimate Onyx Transformation)

All six Rangers are now standing in the radiation beam, completely unaffected by it.

Isolator: What! No one can withstand my radiation beam.

Joe: Apparently we can.

Tai: You're finished.

Victor: Let's end this quickly. Fire Staff, power up!

Tai: Lightning Strikers, power up!

Kara: Diamond Cutter, power up!

Karen: Amethyst Blaster, power up!

Joe: Onyx Chargers, power up!

Max: Lithium Sabre, power up!

Isolator: Those weapons can't hurt me!

Victor: EASTERN BLASTER!

Victor throws the Fire Staff into the air. It stays suspened horizontaly. Tai throws up the Lightning Strikers. They land sideways on top of the Fire Staff. Kara tosses the Diamond Cutter. It sets on top of the Strikers. Karen throws the Amethyst Blaster. It lands on top of the Cutter with it's handle forming the handle of the Eastern Blaster. Finaly Joe tosses the Onyx Chargers and they hook onto the bottom of the Strikers. The Eastern Blaster falls into Victors hands. The other Rangers stand to his sides.

Victor, Tai, Kara, Karen, Joe: FIRE!

A green beam leaves the Blaster and strikes Isolator right in the chest. The force nearly cuts through him. He stumbles back and tries to regain his balance. Before he can Max cuts through him with the Lithium Sabre.

Scene 2
Setting: Transport 1. Commander Tigris is ignoring the scenes of battle on the moon and is paying attention to Isolator's battle.

Commander: Make him grow!

Scene 3
Setting: The battle. A bottle hits Isolator and turns him to stone. His body shatters and a cloud of dust shaped like him expands into a giant. He then solidifies.

Isolator: Now I'll crush you into the dirt!

Victor: I don't think so.

All Rangers: TIME JETS, ONLINE!

Scene 4
Setting: A holding bay under the city. The street above opens. The floor tilts up and aligns with the opening, forming a runway. The Time Jets engine's fire up. After building up pressure for a few seconds the jets launch out of the bay. The Rangers teleport to the cockpits.

Victor: Time Jet Megazord power!

The Orange Time Jet starts to fly in a formation. The Blue and Black Jets fly on it's left and right with the wings almost touching. The White and Purple Jets turn and fly backwards, lining up with the tail section of the Orange Jet. The Gold Jet flys a few dozen feet above the Orange Jet. The Orange Jet transforms it's wings and tail fins into slots to hook arms and legs. The White and Purple jets fold their wings up and attach to the Orange Jet. Blue and Black do the same. The Blue and Black jets bend to form arms. The White and Purple Jets bend to form feet. The Gold Jet lands on top of the Orange Jet to finish forming the body. The Orange cockpit swings down revealing a head. The Megazord turns upright and lands.

Max: I think we'll need more firepower for this one. I'm gonna split.

Karen: Good idea. The Lithium Warrior Zord would help.

Max jumps out of the cockpit and lands in the city.

Max: Thunder split!

A gold glow surrounds the Lithium Ranger. His body appears to move to the side. There are now two bodies standing there. The glow vanishes and both the Thunder Ranger and Lithium Ranger are standing there.

Thunder Ranger: I'm going back in the cockpit. Good luck.

Lithium Ranger: Thanks. You too.

Thunder Ranger teleports back to the Time Jet Megazord cockpit.

Lithium Ranger: LITHIUM WARRIOR ZORD!

A gold beam leaves the Lithium Ranger's morpher. The sky turns black. Three gold lightning bolts strike the morpher. Where Lithium Ranger was standing his zord now stands.

Lithium Ranger: Let's finish him!

Victor: Yeah! Mega Missle!

The Megazord lifts it arms. They charge up and fire a blast that looks like 2 missles. They hit Isolator hard.

Lithium Ranger: My turn. Warrior Strike!

The Lithium Warrior Zord pulls back both it's fists. They charge up. It pushes them forward like a punch. The energy from the fists fly out and strike Isolator. He sparks a few times, then falls to the ground and explodes.

Lithium Ranger: That's how it's done.

Joe: We got him good.

Victor: Let's get back to headquarters and find out what's going on.

Act 5
Scene 1
Setting: Transport 1. Commander Tigris is talking with Sunbeam.

Sunbeam: I'm sorry sir. Please don't kill me!

Commander: I should. But today I won't. Raznor!

General Raznor enters the room.

Raznor: Yes sir.

Commander: Blow up the moon.

Raznor: May I ask why sir?

Commander: Gridster is not worth the manpower to take by force. Just blow up his moon and be done with it.

Raznor: As you wish.

Scene 2
Setting: Outside the Transport ships. They all fire a barrage of beams at the moon.

Scene 3
Setting: The moon palace. Gridster and his monsters are discussing their victory.

Clipper: ...and that when I....

Gridster cuts him off.

Gridster: What is that!

The beams hit the moon. There is a huge flash of light.

Scene 4
Setting: Time Force headquarters. The Rangers are reviewing the battle with Captain Logan. Suddenly the alarms go off.

Joe: Not again.

Agent: Sir. We just picked up a huge blast from the moon.

Logan: What?!

Victor: What happened.

Agent: I don't believe it. The moon.......it's......gone!

The Rangers all get a horrified look on their faces.

Scene 5
Setting: Transport 1.

Raznor: It is done sir. The moon is gone.

Commander: Excellent work. Now to begin the plan for the Earth.

Everyone in the room laughs.

The End

Back to Eastern Rangers
