| 11: "The Origin of Darkness" | ||||
| On top of H?i �n Mountain, a rainstorm is falling onto the temple, as Shu? M?, with staff in hand, walks into Leogar�s throne room with Chemilo behind her, and causing Leogar and Ying to break their sparring stances.
�Well, isn�t it, Ying,� Shu? M? says, looking at her comrade. �Shu? M?,� Ying is surprises to see her then he sees Chemilo behind her. �I see Chemilo revived you, didn�t she?� �Yes, she�s very resourceful,� Shu? M? says, looking behind herself at Chemilo before returning her attention to Ying and then notices Leogar. �This must be School of H?i �n�s new leader.� �Shu? M?, one of the Grand Masters of the School of H?i �n,� Leogar says, and then looks at Chemilo. �You revived her?� �Yes, master, so she can train you,� Chemilo explains. �I won�t train this lion cub,� Shu? M? says, surprising everyone�s in the room. �What?� Chemilo says in protest. �But I revived you to train him.� �A Grand Master�s decision is final,� Shu? M? tells her, without looking away from Leogar, and only then does she looks at Chemilo. �I will train you.� �What?� Ying says, confuses as to his comrade�s decision. �You can�t be serious!� Chemilo says, angry. �I�m very much serious,� Shu? M? says, turns away and walks for couple feet before stopping. �And your first training exercise is to fight Leogar.� �What?!� Chemilo yells, getting even angrier. �Mm, this should be interesting,� Ying says, crossing his arms. �I refuse!� Chemilo says, drawing Leogar�s attention. �There�s no way in this world or the next that I will fight my master!� �Fine, if that your decision,� Shu? M? says, seemly accepts Chemilo�s decision before she turns around and stabs Leogar with the end of her staff. A blast of purple energy knocks Leogar back into a wall. As he tries to return to his feet, Leogar feels great pain at where he was struck, but one of his feet give away and he falls to one knee. �What had you done?!� Chemilo commands to know. �I had poisoned him,� Shu? M? says, shocking Chemilo. �It�s a poison that reacts to a person�s chi, the stronger the chi, the faster the poison spreads. With Leogar�s mount of chi, I�ll say he has about a day before he perished.� �Witch!� Chemilo says, as she opens the mouth of her helmet and shoots her silver tongue at Shu? M?. Shu? M? uses her staff to knock away Chemilo and her tongue, knocking her to the ground. Chemilo readies one of her sais, and gets ready to get on her feet and attack when she becomes face-to-face with the end of Shu? M?�s staff. �Relax, this is all part of your training,� Shu? M? says, pulling back her staff. �What you�re talking about?� Chemilo asks. �You will face an opponent of my chosen,� Shu? M? says, as Chemilo return to her feet and Shu? M? walks to a weaken Leogar. �You will battle with all of your might and if you successes I will free Leogar of his poison.� �What�s your aim?� Leogar says, with a weaken voice but Shu? M? only answers with a laugh. Meanwhile at the back of the Dojo, within the hidden HQ, Jean is at her computer monitor while M?o is pacing back and forth behind her. Jean sees M?o�s reflection in the computer screen and she turns around to face him. �Penny for your thought?� Jean asks, catching M?o�s attention. �Huh, what,� M?o says, having forgot Jean is in the room. �What�s brothering you?� Jean asks. �Oh, it�s the chi I been sensing,� M?o explains. �And now recent I starting to sense a new chi. I�m afraid of what its might means. Maybe it�s just me or�� M?o stops for a second as he senses something new. �There�s trouble in the city.� Jean looks at the computer screen to see the three Rangers leaving the Dojo, �The Rangers are on their way.� Within the city, a giant Shu? M? is rising out of a lake. One by one the Rangers jump onto the scene and looks up at their giant enemy. �What is it?� Yellow Ranger asks. �I never see anything like it,� Blue Ranger says. Shu? M? walks forward with her staff lands on her shoulder, �What a puny nuisances.� �It�s some type of a jellyfish,� Red Ranger says, grosses at the sight. �Still, its dust,� Yellow Ranger says. The Rangers crack their knuckles, �Zord Summon!� The Rangers reach upward with their right arms, causing their individual zords to shoot up. The Rangers jump up and merges with their zords, they then form the Fury Megazord. �Fury Megazord, Power Up!� the Megazord lands and takes a fighting stance as Shu? M? twirls around her staff. The Megazord charges Shu? M?, who just stands still and laughs. The Megazord launches a strike but Shu? M? turns into water, causing the Megazord to hit thin air as Shu? M? appears behind it. �Miss me,� Shu? M? says, before stabbing the Megazord with her staff, knocking it back. The Rangers fall down in the cockpit, just as their Megazord does the same. �What just happened,� Blue Ranger says, looking up. �She dodged in the blink of an eye,� Yellow Ranger says, looking at Blue Ranger. �We won�t lose like this!� Red Ranger says, angry, as he gets back up. The Megazord returns to its feet, before taking a fighting stance. �Want more?� Shu? M? asks, mocking. The Megazord throws one punch, but it slides through Shu? M? like she was made out of water. It tries several more times, but each with the same result. Inside the cockpit, the Rangers crack their knuckles. �Try dodging this!� Red Ranger says. The Rangers spread out their arms, �Fury Fist!� the Rangers start spinning around. The Megazord�s torso starting to spin around too, but each attacks just keep on hit through Shu? M? like she is made out of water, till she seemly splash down. �Ah, we got her!� Red Ranger says, within the cockpit. Suddenly, water shoot up behind the Megazord, forms a shape, takes a purple glow till it appears as Shu? M?, grapping the Megazord from the behind. �You had failed to land one hand on me,� Shu? M? tells them. �You�re not worthy to face my student.� �Get off!� Red Ranger, waves his hands close to his face. Then the Megazord is bombarded by large sparks, with the Rangers inside the cockpit feeling the same effect. The three unmorphed Rangers fall to the ground, weaken from been beaten. Back at the HQ, M?o, Betsy, and Jean are watching the fight on the computer monitor. �It can�t be,� M?o says, starting to think. �Shu? M?.� �Shu? M??� Betsy says, repeating her friends� opponent�s name. �Shu? M?,� Jean says, thinking for a second. �I belief she is one of the Grand Masters of the School of H?i �n.� �Like M?o is a Grand Master of the School of Li�ng,� Betsy says, turn around to look at M?o but see he isn�t there. �Where�s M?o?� �What?� Jean turns around to see he is gone. Back at the fight, the Rangers are returning to their feet, as Shu? M? is watching them from a higher level. �So easy beaten,� Shu? M? says, to herself. �Don�t count them out just yet,� M?o says, causing Shu? M? to turn around to see M?o, in his cat form, walking up some stairs toward her. The Rangers see their teacher and quickly cracks their knuckles and bow, �Sensei.� �Ah,� Shu? M? walks toward M?o. �Long time no see, I see you still your old self. Just with more fur, now.� �And you hadn�t changed much yourself,� M?o says to her. �Still try to causes terrors in others.� M?o walks pass her to the edge to see his students below. �At least I can destroy you in your true form!� Shu? M? says, trying to swipe M?o with her staff. But M?o ducks under it and then jump over a lower swipe. He kicks off Shu? M?�s chest and falls down to the ground near the Rangers. �You couldn�t beat me eighteen years ago, even with the other two Grand Masters,� M?o tells her. �Things are changing,� Ying�s voice is heard, as M?o and the Rangers look up to see Ying on a higher level. �This time you will meet your demise.� �That must be,� Li says, realizing who it is. �Yes, he�s Ying, also a Grand Master of the School of H?i �n,� M?o conforms Li�s suspicious. �I wondered, M?o had you informed your students of what happened and how the school of H?i �n came to be?� Ying asks M?o. �What he�s talking about, Sensei?� Max asks her teacher. �The School of H?i �n originally separated from the School of Li�ng,� M?o starts to explain. �What?� Kevin says in shocked. �Are you saying that Ying and Shu? M? used to be a part of the School of Li�ng?� �Li�ng is light and H?i �n is darkness,� M?o starts. �Within light there is darkness, and within darkness is light. The darkness in their hearts was too great and it�s a battle between light and dark that light lost.� M?o says, as he remembers the Li�ng�s Grand Masters and the H?i �n�s Grand Masters fighting each other still in their human forms. �We destroyed the three Grand Masters, but their monster army is too big to leave alone, and, well, you know the rest.� �You and our other Grand Masters seal the School of H?i �n away, between dimensions,� Max finishes the school. �So that what became of our beloved school,� Shu? M? states. �Your beloved school was a school of monsters and wicked beings,� M?o tells her. �The past doesn�t matter,� Ying tells him. �What�s matter is the future of the School of H?i �n.� �Agree,� Shu? M? says. �Come out, lion cub.� Around a corner comes Leogar with one arm around Chemilo�s shoulders, as she is helping him stand and walks. �Leogar!� Li says, seeing their hated enemy. �Wait, he weakens,� Kevin says, noticing Leogar�s poisoned state. �Now, let�s the fun begins,� Shu? M? says, then shoots tentacles from her back, grabbing M?o and then pulls him over to a lower level then the Rangers, Chemilo, and Leogar. �Now, Chemilo, save your beloved master, by defeating M?o,� Shu? M? instructs Chemilo. �She wants Chemilo to fight Sensei,� Max says, confused. �But he won�t fight her,� Li explains. �He�s style is that of defensive.� �Chemilo is to fight M?o,� Leogar says to his self, getting weaker with each passing moment. �No!� Kevin says, angry. �I will fight in Sensei�s stead!� �No, Chemilo will fight M?o,� Shu? M? explains, then stabs her staff in the ground at her feet. Blue light emerges from the top of Shu? M?�s staff, suddenly water appears at the Rangers� feet before quickly becomes solid, preventing the Rangers from moving their feet. �Argh! We�re stuck!� Max says. �I don�t believe this!� Li says. �Release us!� Kevin orders. �Just watch the show,� Shu? M? tells them, she then turns to Chemilo. �Now, fight M?o or Leogar will suffer!� Leogar suddenly drops to his knees, as the poison is getting worse. �Leogar,� Chemilo whispers, as she sees her master in pain. �Now do it!� Shu? M? says, twirling her staff and points it at M?o. Chemilo looks at Shu? M? then back at Leogar before she jumps off to the ground and face M?o. �I�m Chemilo, master of stealth and chameleon style,� Chemilo says, as she walks toward M?o. �Sensei, no!� Kevin yells as he and his friends are failing to move their feet. Chemilo starts to charge M?o, �Prepare to meet your ancestors!� Chemilo launches a kick which is blocked by M?o and then a blocked punch. And then two more punches, both blocked. She tries a roundhouse kick but M?o ducks under it. She fires a back elbow, but M?o catches it with his paws and throws it down. M?o launches his own back elbow but Chemilo catches it. With M?o�s arm in her hands she turns around and let go. �Take a close look, Leogar,� Shu? M? instructs him. �And you will see real power.� �What you really want,� Leogar says, weaken, but Shu? M? only responds with a laugher. Chemilo launches a low spin kick at M?o, who just jumps over it. He then blocks another punch from Chemilo, who spins around and fires a kick which M?o ducks under. She fires a punch, but M?o catches it and spins it around, placing her arm against Chemilo�s back. �You�re wasting energy with failed attacks,� M?o tells her, before pushing her, causing her releases. Chemilo rolls onto the ground before coming to a stop, as M?o looks up at Shu? M?. �Stop this pointless game, Shu? M?! And stop uses young warriors as cannon fodders.� �This young Chemilo has more power then you might think, old friend,� Shu? M? tells him, as Chemilo returns to her feet. M?o turn to face Chemilo, now back on her feet. She then sees Leogar next to Shu? M?, getting weaker and weaker as the poison spreads. �My master will perish, if I don�t do something and quick,� Chemilo says, then opens her helmet�s mouth. �Power Augment!� Chemilo�s silver tongue shoots out and stabs herself as purple energy surges through her body, with Leogar looks on through his darken visor. �She increases her own power to defeat M?o,� Ying says, watching the fight. �Interesting.� Chemilo turns to face M?o with her helmet�s mouth still open then she turns around and jump up, performing a back flip before she stops in midair. �Perish!� Chemilo yells, and then shoots out her silver tongue at the ground near M?o�s feet repeating, as purple energy surrounds her body. �Sensei!� the Rangers yells, unable to help their teacher. Chemilo then flies toward M?o, slamming him into the ground and causing dust to build up. �Her power increases fast, but it will soon burn out,� Ying says, as he watches the continuing fight. �See now, Ying?� Shu? M? says, drawing Ying�s attention. �This is true power, right Leogar?� Leogar only looks at Shu? M? for a second before returning his attention to the fight. �Sensei!� Max cries out at a large crater in the ground, worries for her teacher. Suddenly, M?o and Chemilo jump out of the crater before landing, facing different directions, both tired. M?o turns to face Chemilo, as purple energy is emerging from her body. �I swore my loyalty to Leogar,� Chemilo says, with the purple energy still emerging from her body, as she returns to her feet and faces her opponent, still on the ground. �I will give my life for my master!� �Stop this,� M?o says, finally returning to his feet. Chemilo suddenly rushes M?o and punches him in abdomen, repeating, almost nonstop, occasional throws in some kicks, but still don�t stop. �She lost control,� Shu? M? says, watching. �She might even destroy him, before running out of steam.� Chemilo then fires a roundhouse kick at M?o, which sends him flying. �Sensei!� the Rangers yells, feeling powerless to do anything. M?o slams into a pillar before falling to the ground, as Chemilo watches. �This is real power, Leogar,� Shu? M? tells him. �A power you will never understands or acquires.� Shu? M? turns her attention away from Leogar and back to Chemilo. �Chemilo, finish it! Destroy M?o!� �But at her state,� Ying starts. �Her next attack will be her last.� �Time to end this,� Chemilo says, as she takes a fighting stance in front of the fallen M?o, who manages to bring up his head to see his soon-to-be attacker. �Chemilo, don�t do it!� Kevin cries. Meanwhile, Leogar is bringing up his hands and he stands tall and slowly becoming cover in purple energy, grasping Shu? M?�s attention. �W-What�s going on?� Shu? M? asks, confused. �Using more chi will only seal your fate, sooner.� �Huh, Leogar?� Kevin notices Leogar is gathering chi. Suddenly there is a massive explosion and the purple energy is blow away. Standing within the smoke, Leogar�s armor is gone, and in his place is a young man with dark hair and black shirt and pants to match, with his appearances almost handsome in tone. �He�s human,� Kevin says, surprised. Meanwhile back at the HQ, Betsy and Jean had been watching everything on the computer screen. �He�s human,� Betsy says, also surprised. �This will end it,� Chemilo says, back at the fight, before charging the still laying M?o. Chemilo�s body becomes engulf in purple energy as she launches her strike, but before her punch reaches M?o, Leogar�s human hand grab it. �M-Master,� Chemilo says, now weaken, before dropping to her knees. �How?!� Shu? M? yells, catching Leogar�s attention. �How you free yourself of my chi poisoning.� �I just generate enough chi that I can overwhelms it,� Leogar explains. �It�s that simple,� Shu? M? says. �Yes,� Leogar transforms back in his armor then raises his right hand to over his hand. �It�s that simple.� Purple energy emerges from Leogar�s hand and then shoots out purple blasts that hit the ground Shu? M? is standing on and the ground the Rangers are standing on, freeing them. �I don�t believe all that power he has,� Li says, as he and his friends are having trouble returning to their feet. �It�s incredible,� Max says. �We�re in for a real fight,� Kevin tells his friends. �Why would a human side with them?� M?o asks Leogar. �I no more a human then you are,� Leogar tells the cat-like martial arts master, before turning his attention to Shu? M?. �Shu? M?, this is my true power!� Leogar rushes forward and then jumps up, grabbing Shu? M? and they fly into a Cliffside before they land in the ocean. Shu? M? slaps away Leogar�s hand, as the splash they created fall down, and then she dodges couple strikes from Leogar. She then blocks another strike from Leogar before she pushes away Leogar�s hand. Leogar then launches more strikes, but Shu? M? turns into water and Leogar�s attacks go through Shu? M?�s now liquid body. He tries more strikes, but each fail to connect. Shu? M? then holds her staff up to Leogar. �Is that the limit of your power?� Shu? M? asks. Shu? M? then strikes Leogar with her staff before stabbing him several times, and then fires another strike, knocking Leogar down. Shu? M? laughs as Leogar returns to his feet, while Chemilo finally catches up to them. �I see now,� Leogar says. �This is your style; you avoid an enemy�s attacks without moving till you find an opening. But I find an opening of my own.� Leogar clenches his fist. �You saw an opening in my movement?� Shu? M? says, disbelieving. �I am leader of the School of H?i �n and I will gain unlimited power,� Leogar tells her. �Then prove it,� Shu? M? tells him. �I will,� Leogar says as he motions his hands, with yellow electric coming off them, before he fires three purple orbs at Shu? M?. Shu? M? turns into water, and manages to avoid each orb, which creates huge splashes behind her. Leogar�s body becomes cover in yellow energy before he charges forward and then fires a large blue and purple orb forward, which manages to hit Shu? M?, knocking her backward into the Cliffside. Shu? M? walks out of the Cliffside, injured as Leogar walks toward her. Shu? M? falls to one knee, injured. Suddenly Ying jumps from out of nowhere and lands on the nearby cliff. �If you not going to teach me,� Leogar tells Shu? M?. �Then leaves and never returns.� Shu? M?�s only response is laugher. �What you�re laughing at?� Chemilo says, as she walks next to Leogar�s side. �Quiet, girl,� Shu? M? says, and then returns to her feet, without her staff. �You had outlived your usefulness.� �What are you saying?� Leogar asks. �The power you just shown,� Shu? M? starts. �You received it when you became jealous of Chemilo�s own power.� Shu? M? starts to walk toward Leogar. �You see? Your power was born from pure jealous.� Shu? M? starts to walk pass Leogar. �Chemilo is able to defeat M?o and that creates enough anger to supercharge your own power.� �So you were testing me and not training Chemilo?� Leogar asks and causing Shu? M? turns around to face him. �Power born from jealous is the style of the School of H?i �n,� Shu? M? explains. �Now, will you accept my style of teaching and becomes my students.� �If it means more power, then I will,� Leogar says. �Me too, I will remains by my master�s side,� Chemilo tells her. �Are you okay with this, Ying?� Shu? M? looks up to see Ying still on the cliff. �Do as you will, they�re yours now,� Ying tells her. �Good and I will train them merciless,� Shu? M? tells him. �Then I will take my leave,� Ying says, as he starting to levitate off the ground. �But I will return when the time is right.� Ying then flies away. Back at the Dojo�s HQ, the Rangers and M?o had returned to Jean and Betsy. �I don�t believe Leogar is human,� Betsy says, still shocked at the news. �Eighteen years of been with the School of H?i �n must had harden his heart and turns his soul completely evil,� M?o suggests. �Even if he�s human, we can�t let up,� Li says. �He sided with the School of H?i �n, that�s made him our enemy for life,� Max says. �Yeah,� Kevin says, though there is a sense of been unsure in his voice which Betsy notices. �To be able to defeat Leogar, now he is trained by both Ying and Shu? M?, you must increase your training,� M?o tells his students. �Anything you said,� Li starts. �We will do.� �You must go to a isolate island, which is miles away from the Crestwood City docks,� M?o tells his students. �What�s there, Sensei?� Kevin asks his teacher. �Ji?o,� M?o starts. �Master of the shark style and your next teacher.� |
