Power Rangers: Hero Force

Chapter 26 - Attack on the USJ!

(Space - Alsatia's Ship)

"At last, it's complete!" Scrozzle exclaimed as he stepped back to marvel at his new creation with pride.

The electric doors that led to the laboratory area then slid open with a ding. Scrozzle stopped working for a moment due to the distraction and glanced over his shoulder to see the rageful eyes of Igeron.

"Is it ready, machine?" The centaur general asked with an impatient tone.

"As a matter of fact, it is." Scrozzle replied as he gestured to the table, showing his creation for Igeron. It was revealed to be several pieces of silver and red armor lying across the table with a silver helmet with black hair at the top, red shoulder plates, and silver gauntlets with spikes. Lying to the right side of the armor was a sharp, bronze javelin with a deadly mace hanging from the bottom by a small chain.

"I present to you, your new armor." Scrozzle announced, gesturing to the armor. "When I watched your first battle with the Rangers, I constructed this to give you better defenses against them and their weapons."

Igeron then turned his focus on the javelin. "And what about this?" He questioned, picking the weapon up.

Scrozzle walked over and looked at it. "Ahh, yes. Thanks to my genius mind and the resources that her Grace has blessed me with, I was able to forge this mighty weapon with unimaginable power to have no equal."

"'Unimaginable power', you say?" Igeron asked with interest.

"That's right!" The robot inventor nodded before pointing over to a large container. "Just focus your power into your new weapon and point it directly at that container."

Igeron, deciding to humor the robotic scientist, focused some of his power into the weapon he was holding and aimed the javelin end at the container. At least, that was until he looked back and saw a Batzler walk into the room.

A devious look appeared on his face. "I think I have a much better target." He uttered, right before pointing the weapon at the Batzler. The tip of the javelin began to glow with spiraling, royal-blue energy before it shot out as the powerful light illuminated the grunt, and then it was lost from view as the beam of pure energy engulfed it.

The attack exploded with enough force to shake the floor before the light began to fade. Once it did, it was shown that there was not a single trace of the lone Batzler left, as only mere grains of dust remained on the floor.

Igeron's eyes widened from what just happened, and his mouth slowly formed a smile as he was impressed with the results. "Excellent, this will do nicely."

"If you think that's something, wait until you don the gauntlets and greaves of your new armor. You'll have more than enough power to destroy the Rangers, or anyone else, for that matter."

Igeron, after hearing what Scrozzle had said, smiled sinisterly and chuckled darkly. "Perfect. Today is the day I'll crush those humans."

"I should warn you that pouring your power to perform those attacks drains you of your energy -" Scrozzle began, only to be cut off by a dark look from the centaur general.

"You've already done what you've been told, machine. Now, move aside so I can get prepared."

As soon as Scrozzle stepped to the side, Igeron placed his new weapon back onto the table and looked at his new armor as he began to discard his old armor.

'Get ready for our next encounter, Rangers. 'Cause this time, you will all pay for humiliating me!'
