Teckor S'tel
By Dark Warrior Ranger
Prologue: The Prophecy

It was the worst day ever. Ecliptor had destroyed the Astro Morphers and the Battlizer. Everyone was angry, frustrated, and confused. "Alpha!" T.J. screamed. "Can't you restore our powers?"

"I've told you before everyone. I can't do a thing," Alpha replied.

"Then that's it," Ashley said. "Astronema has won."

"You know that's not true," Cassie said.

"I agree with Cassie," Zhane said. "Even without our powers we have to still keep fighting."

"Zhane's right," Andros said. "We still have tools. We still have Astro Blasters, the Astro Megazord, and the Mega Voyager."

"You also have the Warrior Zord," Dark Warrior said.

"What good are they?" Ashley said. "We nearly overloaded the systems last time we went into battle with the Psycho Rangers."

"Ashley is right," Carlos said. "What if they launch an attack on ground? We can handle Quantrons, but we can't handle morphers without our powers."

"I really wish we had our powers back," Cassie said.

"Hey," T.J. said. "Where's the Dark Warrior?"

"He was here just a minute ago," Andros said.

"Last time I saw him, he was heading towards his ship," Alpha replied.

"D.E.C.A.," Zhane said. "Locate the Dark Warrior."

"The Dark Warrior is on the Warrior Megaship located beneath the Megaship," D.E.C.A. replied.

All at once, the six rangers rushed to the Warrior Megaship. The hatch was open. The Dark Warrior was at a computer nearby. "What are you reading?" Cassie asked.

"The thing that just might restore your powers," Dark Warrior said.

"How do you know?" Carlos asked. "What type of language is that?"

"This is the scroll of Teckor S'tel. It was written by Hirocon on the planet Argos," Dark Warrior said.

"What does Teckor S'tel mean?" Andros asked.

"That secret I can't tell you," Dark Warrior said, "Only four people know what it means. Hirocon, Zordon, Dimitria, and myself."

"Why can't you tell us?" T.J. asked.

"Because the six of you must find out for yourselves," Dark Warrior replied.

"How do we do that?" Zhane asked.

"I will read the scroll to you. All of your questions will be answered," Dark Warrior said and began to translate. "To unlock the secret of Teckor S'tel, six must separate and journey well. One will need the Bladed Sun. Another will need a weapon of alien origon. A third will need to go back in time to stop an evil witch's crime. The fourth will journey to lands where thee life will be in their hands. The fifth must go to a world where thee must fight a world of bright. The sixth must go to the land where the count stalks his victims at the dark side of the moon. When all quests are done, the six again will become one. Then they must travel to the middle and solve the Teckor S'tel riddle. With one last challenge to await, only five will fight to open the gate."

"What about the sixth?" Zhane asked.

"The sixth will have to face an enemy from his quest," Dark Warrior answered.

"So, when do we start these quests?" T.J. asked.

"Your ship must travel to the end of the universe. There, you will find six portals. Use your teleportation devices to enter them. Once inside, I can only help you to a certain point," Dark Warrior said.

"What about the Psycho Rangers?" Cassie asked. "You can't take them all on by yourself."

"Don't worry, Cassie," Dark Warrior said. "I have sent for help."

"Who?" Andros asked.

"One you don't know, but the other five, I'm sure you couldn't forget them," Dark Warrior said.

"Rangers, please report to the bridge," D.E.C.A. said.

"We're on our way," Andros said.

The seven of them left the Warrior Megaship and went on board the Astro Megaship. On the screen Andros, T.J., Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie saw some familiar faces. "Hey! What's up, dudes and dudettes?"

Part I: The Team Assembles

Andros, T.J., Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie saw some familiar faces on the screen. "Hey! What's up dudes and dudetees?"

"The Ninja Turtles?" the five of them said at the same time.

"I didn't know you knew them," Cassie said looking at Dark Warrior.

"Like I said. Once you know them, you can't forget them," Dark Warrior replied.

"So, when can we beam aboard the Megaship?" Michaelangelo asked.

"We'll teleport you right now," Andros said. After that, he signaled to Carlos to teleport them on board.

"Whoa! That was radical!" Michaelangelo said when he and the other Ninja Turtles were on board. "I have got to try that some time."

"Stop clowning around, Mikey. We got bigger problems," Leonardo said.

"Oh. Uh, D.E.C.A.? I'm really sorry about reprogramming you," Donatello said.

"I am not programmed to hold a grudge, Donatello," D.E.C.A. replied.

"So, what are our problems?" Leonardo asked.

"Bring it up, Andros," Dark Warrior said.

Andros immediately brought up pictures of the Psycho Rangers.

"They're your problem," Zhane began. "They are the Psycho Rangers. They are like us in every way, except that they're evil. Each of the Rangers knows how one of us fights."

"They don't look like much," Raphael said. "We'll make tin cans out of them before you know it."

"I wouldn't count on that," Andros said. "They stole our morphers. We are all powerless, but we're going quests to get them back."

"They must be very tough to have done that," Venus said.

"The six of us probably will only slow them down," Dark Warrior said.

"We all will need to plan all our attacks carefully."

"Incoming message," D.E.C.A. reported.

"Who's the bug?" Raphael asked.

"Dark Warrior, do you read?" Masked Rider said.

"I read you, Dex," Dark Warrior replied.

"I just spotted the Psycho Rangers right outside Angel Grove Park," Masked Rider said.

"Stay away unless they see you," Dark Warrior ordered.

"Too late," Masked Rider said.

"Hold them off until we get there," Dark Warrior said, then he shut the com-link off.

"D.E.C.A.," T.J. said. "Prepare for Megaship separation."

"Good luck my friends," Dark Warrior said. "Bring back the power of Teckor S'tel."

"We just gonna sit around here sayin' 'goodbye' or are we gonna help bugboy kick some tail?" Raphael said.

"Let's kick some tail," Dark Warrior said.

Dark Warrior and the Ninja Turtles split up from the Power Rangers. Before the six went to help Masked Rider and before the Power Rangers went on their quests, Dark Warrior and Cassie took one long look at each other as if they were never going to see each other again.

Part II: Devolution

"Let's take care of these guys," Dark Warrior said to his allies.

"Right," they all agreed.

"We're invincible," Psycho Red said. "You can't destroy us. We'll just keep coming back."

"Not after we're done with you," Masked Rider said.

"Let's go make garbage cans out of these guys," Raphael said.

The seven of them launched at the Psycho Rangers. The Psycho Rangers launched at them, as well. It was a fierce battle. After a while Masked, Rider and Dark Warrior were down and the Ninja Turtles were nowhere to be seen. "Now, we shall finish the both of you off." Psycho Blue said. "Now it is time for your destruction!!" Psycho Blue yelled as he charged up an orb of evil energy.

Just then, from out of nowhere, the Ninja Turtles appeared again and started fighting the Psycho Rangers. They were too much and had to retreat.

~*~

"NO!!!!" Psycho Red yelled, "THOSE BLASTED NINJA TURTLES RUINED OUR PLANS! I WISH THAT THERE WAS A WAY TO GET RID OF THEM SO WE COULD FINISH OFF THAT BLASTED DARK WARRIOR AND HIS BUG-EYED FRIEND!!!"

"Maybe there is," Astronema said.

"Yes," agreed Ecliptor. "Look what I found somewhere on Earth." Ecliptor held up a card. On it said the word "Devolution spray."

"So, what you're trying to tell us is that we are going to use A CARD TO DEFEAT THE DARK WARRIOR!!!" Psycho Red yelled. After his outburst, Astronema silenced him.

"Of course not," Astronema said. "I am going to bring the spray out of the card and you are going to use it on the Ninja Turtles. It will leave them as the helpless reptiles they once were."

~*~

"Alert! Alert!" D.E.C.A. said. "The Psycho Rangers are attacking the Earth!"

"What else is new?" Dark Warrior thought to himself. "Tell the others I'll meet them down there Alpha," he said.

~*~

Down on Earth the seven of them confronted the Psycho Rangers. "We don't need you here," Psycho Black said to the Dark Warrior and Masked Rider.

"We just want a face-off with the Ninja Turtles," Psycho Blue said.

"You take on one, you take on all," Masked Rider said.

"Nah. We got this," Michaelangelo said.

"Be careful," Dark Warrior said.

"Let's do it," Leonardo said.

The battle raged on for a while, then when the Psycho Rangers were weak, they took out the spray Astronema had given them. "Hey Turtles," Psycho Yellow said. "Have a little taste of this." She fired the Devolution spray at the Ninja Turtles.

"LOOK OUT!" Dark Warrior said, but it was too late the Ninja Turtles had already devolved to little baby turtles.

"Alpha," Dark Warrior said, "send them back to the sewer. There's nothing we can do for them now." Alpha did as he was told and teleported them back to the sewer.

"Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?" Psycho Pink said.

"What are you talking about?!" Masked Rider asked.

"Oh nothing," Psycho Red said. "It's just that we anticipated that the rangers would go to find the powers of Teckor S'tel. Do you know why? Because I made up that scroll. I am Hirocron. Once the rangers uncover their secrets instead of gaining powers, they will be destroyed!!!!"

"Alpha," Dark Warrior said, "teleport us back now." In a moment, the Dark Warrior and the Masked Rider were gone.
