A/N: Well, sorry for the one year delay, other ideas were begging to be written down, but here is the next chapter! All together now, FINALLY! And it's a 2 parter cause I don't have a lot of time right now.

Blasts From The Past

Chapter 8A: Frenzy

One hour earlier…

Metal flashed as Scorpina began her assualt. Targeting Kendrix first, she swung her stinger in a wide arc, acidic venom dripping off the blade. The Pink Galaxy Ranger flipped out of the way before drawing her Beta Bow and snapping off a few shots. Trying to defend herself against the energy barrage the scorpion woman was unprepared for the blades that struck her back, bouncing off her hard armour. Whirling around, she found herself face to face with the stonic visors of the Red Morphin Ranger and the Red Zeo Ranger. Jason sliced his Power Sword at Scorpina's waist, while Tommy jabbed his Zeo Power Sword at her knees, causing her to lose her balance. Regaining it, she shot a wide beam of energy at the attacking Rangers, forcing them to duck for cover behind parked cars. For the only time in the villain's life, she was actually relieved that there were no civillians around, for the battle would soon spiral out of control. Across the street, she could see Zedd brutally carving a swathe through the Rangers trying to defeat him. Dodging a wild swipe by Jason, she kept a close eye on the battle, while trying not to be destroyed.

Zedd growled as he blocked one of Taylor's slashes with his uninjured arm. Cole had used his Lion Blaster to break through his body shield, causing his left arm to become exposed, and be partially shredded. He would heal though, but first he had to deal with the rangers attacking him. He twirled his staff one handed before slamming it into Max's stomach. The Blue Shark Ranger kicked the fleshman before performing a double slash with his Fighting Fins. After chuckling to himself, he launched a potentially fatal volley of shots into the Rangers before him, blowing then back, but allowing the more dangerous Rangers to step up – namely the Black Bison and Lunar Wolf Rangers. Two fully energised slashes, a Lunar Pool attack and a cricket type slice later and Zedd appeared to be faltering. He thought it was ironic – this role reversal, with the Rangers on the offensive and his army on the defensive.

But he had one more trick up his non-existent sleeve.

He pulled back, his arm now fully healed. It was time to beat a hasty retreat while he was still standing under his own power. He took his staff in both hands, causing bolts of energy to crackle along both the staff and the "Z" on his head. As he turned to the "new" group, he laughed under his mask, his booming voice echoing around the battlefield. Cole stepped forward, Lion Blaster in one hand, Falcon Summoner in the other. His voice showed no sign of the anxiety he felt.

"You are not as powerful as I thought!"

Hearing that, Tommy stopped dead in his swing. He shuddered as he thought of what Zedd was capable of, but as always, a swing from Scorpina brought him back into present mode. Emperor Zedd looked at the Red Wild Force Ranger curiously, then cackled and slammed his staff into the ground, temporarily stopping all combat while everyone tried to stay upright.

"You pathetic weaklings want power? I'll show you power! Arise spirits of monsters past, your time has come again! Crush these insolents into dust!"

From the tip of his staff, four jagged bolts of energy struck the ground, coalescing into forms that were familiar – a pirhana, an ape, some bipedal mollusc and an upright goat. They were Pirhanisthead, Primator, Turbanshell and Robogoat. In unison, the newly resurrected monsters fell into fighting stances, facing the Rangers. A familiar burbling permeated the air, and in a flash of grey light, twenty humanoids appeared. They were as grey as storm clouds with mottled faces and vests with a "Z" insignia on their chests. As the Time Force Rangers regrouped near the Wild Force Rangers, Jen shuddered. These were Zedd's feared and famed Putties. Quietly, the five main Rangers summoned their Chrono Sabres while Eric eased his Quantum Defender out of its hip holster. The twelve Rangers looked at their enemies with new fear and hatred, but the monsters never attacked. it was if they were waiting for something.

Then it happened.

Zedd blasted those around him in a circle, teleporting out when he was done. The Putties and monsters charged at the Rangers, who threw the first few Putties away before becoming swamped.

Shredder ducked to avoid the falling Putties, who then crashed into the Space Rangers and half the Galaxy Rangers. The Turtles were nowhere to be seen, but he kept his guard up, whirling his broadsword in one hand. As he looked around him, a blur of red caused him to swing his sword out, the blade connecting with Andros' Spiral Sabre. Twisting his body, he deftly avoided the strikes of Leo's Quasar Sabre and Zhane's Super Silveriser before aquainting them with the sharp end of his fists. He placed half of his weight on his right leg and executed a vicious roundhouse kick, knocking back Raphael – who had been trying to blindside him with his Sai. Shredder looked around and carefully counted his attackers.

Red Space Ranger – jumping around and looking like an utter maniac.

Silver Space Ranger – looking like a complete tool with his Silveriser jabbing the air.

Red galaxy Ranger – doing absolutely nothing but holding his Sabre out.

Blasted Turtles – helping the crazy one up.

That seemed fine, but something triggered in the back of his mind. Where were the other Rangers? He scanned the battlefield once more, still seeing those Rangers. Ducking under another thrown Putty, he sensed something was wrong.

He was caught in the open when it happened.

TBC…

(Ducks thrown items) Sorry, it's late here and I haven't had lunch yet! (Ducks a thrown Putty from his story) Tomorrow! Until then, review! And I apologise for any innuendoes.
