Retina scan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, of course!\u201d realized Maiden. \u201cMiss Rose, I\u2019ll need your help!\u201d The android quickly pulled up several functions. \u201cNow, when the light on the retina scanner flashes, look into it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight!\u201d replied Amy. Maiden then keyed in a few commands. The light flashed and Amy looked into it. \u201cOof! Bright!\u201d she yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRanger System: Online!\u201d cheered Maiden. \u201cAll weapons and gear available! Albert-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSend out the Battlizer too!\u201d directed Albert. \u201cI have a feeling Tanya will need it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBanza was repairing the Battilizer Deployment equipment before his death,\u201d explained Maiden. \u201cYou\u2019ll have to deliver it yourself.\u201d She pulled out a gold device that could fit over a Morpher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnderstood,\u201d replied Albert. \u201cIn that case, IT\u2019S MORPHING TIME!\u201d Albert inserted his key into his Morpher, then posed as he became the Blue Dragon Ranger. He then pressed the call button on his Morpher. \u201cTanya, we\u2019re back in action!\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all in our suits here, Albert!\u201d replied Tanya on the other end. \u201cWe\u2019re summoning our Zords!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m bringing the Battlizer! I\u2019d say the situation calls for the full power of the Dragon Ultrazord!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood thinking! Hurry!\u201d Tanya ended the call, then Albert spoke into his Morpher again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLaunch Blue Dragon Zord!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll voice commands: confirmed!\u201d reported Maiden. \u201cLaunching all Zords!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Far off from New New York, a hangar opened from the ground. Once done, lights flashed on. Those lights were the eyes of the Dragon Zords! The Dragon Zords, mechanical dragon-themed mecha, flew out of the hangar, en route to the battlefield!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGotta go!\u201d Albert said to the Doctor and her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHave fun!\u201d chuckled the Toymaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Must you?\u201d muttered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zords and Albert arrived at the battlefield in short order. Albert handed Tanya the Battlizer. \u201cIt\u2019s now or never, Tanya!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I always liked \u2018Now\u2019!\u201d replied Tanya as she put the Battlizer on her Morpher. \u201cActivate Battlizer!\u201d She pressed the button on her Morpher and golden armor appeared over her usual red suit. \u201cAll right, everyone! Into your Zords! Activate Dragon Striker Ultrazord!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRIGHT!\u201d replied all the Rangers. They all leapt into their respective Zords, then they started shifting into limbs, a torso, and weapons. The parts combined and formed a giant, multi-colored, humanoid robot. The Rangers all appeared in the cockpit and took the controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOpen a channel to the Dragonzord!\u201d ordered Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGot it!\u201d replied Poppy. She keyed in a command and Rita appeared on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you Power Losers want?!\u201d demanded Rita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re giving you one last chance to surrender, Repulsa,\u201d warned Tanya. \u201cIf you don\u2019t take it, we\u2019ll destroy the Original Dragonzord AND the Master Morpher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFat chance! I\u2019ll destroy you Rangers and take the Morphing Grid for myself! I\u2019ll be the ONLY Power Ranger and finally set this universe on the path of evil where it NEEDS to go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour funeral.\u201d Tanya closed the channel, then all the Rangers pulled on the control sticks they were using. The Ultrazord then swung its weapon at the Dragonzord. The Dragonzord countered with its tail, activating the drill on it to cause damage. Sparks flew off the Ultrazord as it stumbled from the attack. The Dragonzord then fired missiles from its fingers, causing the Ultrazord to stumble the instant it was hit. \u201cAll right, you disgrace to Green Rangers!\u201d snarled Tanya. \u201cYou asked for it! Ultrazord: Final Attack!\u201d The Rangers pressed the thumb buttons on their controls. The Ultrazord then twirled its weapon above its head, creating an energy ring, then swung the weapon and the energy ring restrained the Dragonzord. The Ultrazord then ran at the Dragonzord and slashed at it with its weapon. The Dragonzord sparked as Rita tried to regain control. No dice, the Dragonzord regained control of itself and ejected Rita. She tumbled to the ground and her transformation was canceled, showing her gasping in pain. At that moment, she spotted the Master Morpher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of\u2026Tommy\u2019s\u2026other forms!\u201d she panted. \u201cThat\u2019s it!\u201d She then crawled forward. \u201cThe Black\u2026Dino Thunder&#8230;Ranger\u2026will work! When I\u2019m\u2026done with\u2026the Rangers\u2026they\u2019ll be history!\u201d That was when she spotted the hem of a familiar blue dress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking of history,\u201d purred the Toymaker as she picked up the Master Morpher, \u201cguess who\u2019s back?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToymaker?! I thought the Doctor took care of you!\u201d gulped Rita. \u201cI-It\u2019s a relief to see you again, old friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCut the malarkey, my old opponent!\u201d snapped the Toymaker as the Master Morpher turned into a toy in her clutch. \u201cWe\u2019re not friends! I entertained your thoughts of conquest since before we found this planet! Now it\u2019s time to put the toys away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh no! I\u2019ve still got plans for the Stookies! They\u2019re a lot better than the Putty Patrollers!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019m sad to say you have no choice in the matter! Speaking of Putty Patrollers, interested in seeing their creator again?!\u201d The Toymaker snapped her fingers and a familiar circular container appeared. \u201cYour old gang\u2019s here! Minus Lord Zedd, of course!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait! No! YOU CAN\u2019T!\u201d begged Rita. \u201cNOT THE SPACE DUMPSTER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy not? You\u2019re a toy broken beyond even the skill of a restorationist on YouTube,\u201d chuckled the Toymaker. \u201cAll toys that end up in such a state go straight to the trash!\u201d The Toymaker laughed as she opened the lid to the space dumpster and Rita was sucked inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMistress Rita!\u201d called a rough voice from inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoldar! Squat! Baboo! Finster! Scorpina! What are you nitwits doing here?! Who\u2019s the kid?!\u201d screeched Rita. The Toymaker closed the lid and sent the space dumpster out into space to travel forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that, as they say, is that,\u201d chuckled the Toymaker. The Doctor, Amy, and the Rangers ran up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t recall that being part of the deal,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have altered the deal, Doctor,\u201d replied the Toymaker. \u201cPray I don\u2019t alter it any further. Now, that path to Grand Zeno? Who is that person who has such favor with him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA Saiyan that answers to Kakarot and Son Goku,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cHe was sent to a human colony just moments before the Saiyan Genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, I know which colony that is,\u201d smirked the Toymaker. \u201cOh, Doctor, if you\u2019re lying, I COULD just turn you into action figures of your and current incarnations. I have a few stop-motion adventures in my head.\u201d The Toymaker then opened a door somewhere and a bell rang like an old shop door. She stepped through, then vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, now what-?\u201d asked Tanya as she looked around. Then\u2026she saw it. \u201c\u2026Guys! LOOK!\u201d she said as she demorphed. There, just above the outer limits of New New York\u2026was a hole in the clouds that covered the skies. The hole got bigger and bigger until\u2026everyone could see blue skies and the sun! Tanya canceled her transformation as she fell to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026We won,\u201d sighed the Doctor happily. All across the city, everyone was leaving their shelters and looking up at the sky. There wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the city. All that stress of worrying whether or not they\u2019d see tomorrow\u2026it was finally leaving them. As Albert looked up, he started singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The emblem of suffering and shame.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And I love that old cross where the dearest and best,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For a world of lost sinners was slain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So I&#8217;ll cherish the old rugged cross<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8216;Till my trophies at last I lay down!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I will cling to the old rugged cross<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And exchange it some day for a crown!<\/em>\u201d The Doctor remembered the last time she heard that hymn. She listened keenly and could hear everyone else singing that hymn, just like when the Under-city was finally freed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Doctor and Amy returned to the TARDIS as the rebuilding began. \u201cSo, a new dawn for New Earth,\u201d said Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA long awaited dawn,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI just wish Banza could see it. \u2026I had to inform his TARDIS what happened. It got the coordinates for Gallifrey and resolved to head to the TARDIS Graveyard beneath the Citadel. It will finally die so it can be scavenged for parts and scrapped respectfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWould your TARDIS do the same?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cI mean, if it turns out you DON\u2019T have unlimited incarnations-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe old girl and I already talked about it.\u201d By now, the Doctor had unlocked the door and she and Amy went inside. \u201cShe plans to be my tomb if and when I permanently die. She\u2019ll stay wherever I fall. But, enough about that! Let\u2019s see what awaits us next! Any old friends you want to visit?\u201d Amy thought a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Doctor, have you been to an Earth populated by squids?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Sounds rather wet,\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cHow about you put your hands on the telepathic circuits and tell the TARDIS about it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou mean like you did with sending a message to Rassilon?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right, only this time, you\u2019re talking to the TARDIS itself.\u201d The Doctor brought Amy to the appropriate panel. Amy then took off her gloves and placed her hands on the controls, thinking about what she told the Doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The earthquake reached the command center, cluing the Doctor in on what was happening. \u201cOh dear,\u201d she muttered. \u201cIt\u2019s risen.\u201d \u201cYou mean Rita\u2019s-?!\u201d gulped Albert. \u201cSummoned the very first Dragonzord, yes,\u201d confirmed the Doctor. \u201cMaiden, we need to deploy the Zords.\u201d \u201cI can\u2019t!\u201d replied Maiden. \u201cI\u2019m locked out of all systems!\u201d \u201cWhat?!\u201d The Doctor then [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[959,1057],"tags":[515,35,962,1059],"class_list":["post-7458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-doctor-who-crossings","category-series-3","tag-amy-rose","tag-doctor-who","tag-fan-doctor","tag-power-rangers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7459,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7458\/revisions\/7459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
