Author’s Note: I am in the process of writing this story as it comes. I have several pages of this story written out and will get it typed up and posted as soon as I can. I am currently working on several other fanfics and this particular story maybe delayed. I am sorry for leaving you hanging like this. (But for some odd reason, I have nothing to do so, am devoting it to this.)
I would also ask you to email me if you would like to use any aspect of my story. The reason for this, especially with Zelda, is because the storyline is complex and has taken me since 1991 to create to where it is now. It is also under constant reconstruction so some items are subject to change. I will also have several standalones, which have nothing to do with the main sequence of events. I will tell you when that is so. I just want you to know that I am posting this against my better judgment because all my ideas are subject to change. I really wanted to wait and post it when the whole thing was typed, but I just want to get it out there and then post the final version on my site when complete. Any critique is welcome. I will also soon have out a guide to my characters. Thank you. I give to you now…
The Six Crystal Quasar Sabers
By Zelda Martial
Part One: The Holder of the Pink Citrine Crystal Quasar Saber
“Gold Quasar power!†No sooner had Zelda done that, than a bright light emanated from all around her. When she was able to see again, she noticed that she hadn’t morphed like she intended to. Instead there was a multicolored stone with six swords placed in front of her.
“What the-“ Zelda’s thought was interrupted as a Varox warrior charged right into her. Zelda fought physically with the warrior but he proved to be too much for her. With that, Zelda finally managed to shove her saber through the arm of the warrior in an attempt to get the thug off of her. She succeeded.
“Let’s not go through this again.†Zelda murmured to herself, taking on another warrior. The stone in which the six colored sabers were located began to glow and out of know where, a stranger appeared. Well, somewhat of a stranger. She looked totally different from the last time the two had met. Which strangely enough was only a day ago.
The stranger grabbed the pink saber in the stone and pulled it out effortlessly. When that was done, she began fighting the Varox side by side with her friend.
“Delphi?†Zelda had allowed herself one precious moment to be distracted from her goal, which was to protect her colony.
“Sir!†A warrior at tactical exclaimed with urgency onboard the flagship of the Imperial Varox Cruiser Fleet. “Unknown energy source has just presented itself on the colony.â€
“Do we know what it could be?†Valhor knew Zelda had to have been the cause of the unknown energy. Who else could it have been? As for what it could be, the Varox leader had no idea.
“No sir.â€
“That’s not an answer. I want to know who or what it is now.â€
“As you command my Lord.â€
“Stinky!†Valhor bellowed to his aide. Stinky came rushing to his side from a nearby console that she was studying.
“Yes my Lord?†Stinky replied. The crew cringed at the new rush of Stinky’s stench that only worsened the more she anticipated something. After several years as having her as his side aide, Valhor was the only one that seemed not to give it another thought.
“Send down the first wave of Destroyer drones to back up our warriors.â€
“Yes Lord Valhor.†Stinky’s stench was now over powering the crew on the bridge. It bothered one warrior so badly that he dared a confrontation with his superior.
“My Lord?†The warrior at Ops. spoke.
“Yes?†Valhor responded.
“Does Stinky have to be on the bridge?â€
“Begone Stinky.†Stinky quickly left the bridge at the command of Valhor as he continued to answer the question the Ops. officer had given him. “In a little while, she will no longer be on this ship. That’s once I send out her and her Stink Brigade.†Valhor’s response caused the bridge crew to begin to laugh. When it had risen to an all out belly laugh amongst the bridge crew, Valhor too joined in.
“Delphi, what are you doing here?†Zelda asked her long time friend.
“I’m you’re guardian. It’s my duty to guard you. I won’t let you give yourself to the Varox again.â€
“What about Aquitor?†Zelda spoke as she fought off a Varox in hand to hand combat.
“Aquitor has the others.†Zelda specifically knew the “others†she was referring to. “You need me.†Delphi saw the puzzled look upon Zelda’s face and said, “It will all make sense in time.â€
Zelda didn’t question her friend’s wisdom. She had known Delphi long enough to know that she was always correct. Both friends saw the Galaxy rangers not far away fighting a losing battle against the Varox warrior’s Valhor had sent to keep them busy. Even thought both Delphi and Zelda were trying to hold their own, they fought their way to the sides of the other rangers. When they had, something they never expected to happen, happened.
Two: Delphi's Fight
Zelda didn’t question her friend’s wisdom. She had known Delphi long enough to know that she was always correct. Both friends saw the Galaxy rangers not far away fighting a losing battle against the Varox warriors Valhor had sent to keep them busy. Even thought both Delphi and Zelda were trying to hold their own, they fought their way to the sides of the other rangers. They were halfway there when something they never expected to happen, happened.
Valhor’s army of Varox warriors suddenly let up and in their place stood the Destroyer drones. Zelda noticed this and cursed under her breath.
“What’s the matter?†Delphi asked. Zelda didn’t respond. All she could do was watch them swarm around the rangers. Since they were inexperienced when it came to hand to hand combat, the rangers were quickly stripped of their quasar sabers and put in chains before Zelda, or Delphi, could do anything about it. Zelda cursed again under her breath and then charged towards the drones.
“Zelda, wait!†Delphi was to late. Zelda was already upon the closest Destroyer and fighting it hand to hand and had also left her quasar saber back over by the stone when they had try to come to the aide of the rangers earlier.
Delphi knew that she couldn’t just throw herself at the drones like Zelda had done. She just didn’t have that option. But since she hadn’t morphed yet, she decided to do so now so that it would give her more options should the need arise.
“White crystal quasar power!†When Delphi had finished speaking those words, the entire colony erupted in a blinding white light. While engulfed in the light, the whole colony stood still. It seemed as if time itself had stopped. The drone in which Zelda was on top of was halfway through knocking Zelda of it’s back while Zelda was mid assault.
During the whole time in which time itself stopped, Delphi had finished morphing.
“Citrine crystal, power up!†Delphi’s suit of armor now consisted of a white metallic armor with a sterling silver pin stripe, much like Leo and the others, totally opposite of the armor that she was used to.
After Delphi’s crystal power up, time resumed as if it had never stopped.
Delphi watched in horror as the one she was sent to protect was thrown thirty feet up in the air. Fortunately, Zelda caught her self in mid air and glided gently to the ground.
The Destroyer Drones had now rounded up all the galaxy rangers and rendered them defenseless. Delphi noticed this but was torn between saving them and Zelda.
“Delphi, get them first.†Zelda shouted to her. “I can hold my own, but whatever happens to me, rescue them first!†Delphi nodded towards Zelda and then made her way towards the galaxy rangers.
“Take that you bakta!†Delphi had shouted as she destroyed one of the countless drones blocking her way from her intended goal.
“Let me go!†Zelda shouted at a drone that had pinned her arms behind her back. The drone refused to do so and ended up paying the ultimate price.
“Suit it yourself.†Zelda managed to free herself by dealing the drone a low blow and then flipping him over her back and punching it in the chest. That alone caused the one drone to run off. “Scaredy cat. Afraid of a little combat is it?†Zelda mused just as her arms were pinned behind her once again.
“I’ve been waiting a long time for this.†Then Zelda and her captor disappeared.
Delphi was two drones from her goal when she dropped to the ground. She looked back to where she had last seen Zelda and realized that she wasn’t there any longer.
“Zelda!†Delphi cried out.
“Remember, get them first. I can hold my own.†Zelda’s voice echoed through Delphi’s brain as she finished off yet another obstacle in her path. Although Scorpius had now sent his own team of Stingwingers to join Valhor’s side in battle, that did not keep the White ranger from reaching her goal.
“Are you guys okay?†Delphi asked Leo and the other galaxy rangers.
“They still have our quasar sabers.†Was Kai’s reply. Delphi nodded and was off once again into the hoards of enemies blocking her again from her goal. Once she had a clear view all around her, she noticed where they were hiding the quasar sabers.
“Just get it over with already Valhor.†Zelda hissed as she was put into cast iron chains.
“Get what over with?†Valhor asked innocently.
“What ever the hell it is you’re going to do to me.†Zelda replied.
“What makes you think I’m going to do anything?†Zelda could help but cough out a laugh.
“Why do you think?†Zelda challenged him. “Why’d you bring me here anyway? To your pathetic excuse for a cell.†Valhor and Zelda both exchange a few ugly words before both of them were civilized enough to carry on a real conversation.
“Crystal saber, power up!†Delphi powered up her saber and with that act, managed to destroy the twelve Stingwingers who showed up. The Destroyer drones were another matter. Delphi then did a mega power up to finish off the last of the remaining drones.
“Aquitorian power!†Her crystal saber lit up with an immense power that had never been held by any ranger, not even Zelda.
“Ring of Fire!†With that command spoken, Delphi’s crystal saber emitted a white ring of fire that quickly shot out in a circle around her killing every enemy in her path. After the ring of fire quickly dissipated, Delphi discovered that the path to the quasar sabers was clear and called upon the other rangers. When Leo, Kai, Kendrix, Maya and Damon all had their quasar sabers Delphi unmorphed since all of the monsters had disappeared.
“White Crystal, power down.†But Delphi still had to find a way to rescue her friend.
“Stinky!†Valhor bellowed out and Stinky came immediately. “Go down with your Stink Brigade and finish what our drones could not.†Zelda wrinkled her nose slightly at the musky odor that Stinky had brought with her into the cell room.
“At once my Lord.†Stinky then hurried off to complete the order given her. After a moment of silence, Zelda spoke.
“You know she’ll be killed right?â€
“I am fully aware what is to happen to her Captain Obvious.â€
“And you’re sending her down there just so a thorn in your backside can be alleviated? She has been loyal to you and this is how you repay her?â€
“Loyalty, on my terms, is repaid with death.â€
“So, are all your warriors going to die too?â€
“Why do you think I send them to do my bidding?â€
“Apparently they couldn’t catch me…â€
“The only thing I would ever go into battle for is to capture you-“
“And how long does that ever last-“
“Silence!†Valhor had enough of this interrupting each other and backhanded Zelda across the face. Zelda retaliated by spitting in his face. Wiping the slime off his face, Valhor continued to speak. “Now that you are on my turf, you shall only speak when being spoken to and any further retaliations will be dealt with by punishment.†Zelda’s cool aquamarine eyes never wavered from Valhor’s empty obsidian eyes. Zelda did not speak but Valhor knew what must have been burning in Zelda’s brain, his own death.
“Keep a close eye on this one,†Valhor said to the security guards guarding the cell. “She may try to escape.â€
“Yes my Lord.†Both guards replied.
“Your defeat is near-“ Valhor swung around and nearly back handed Zelda again but then thought better about it just when he was about to hit her. “It’s only a matter of time.†Zelda then spit in Valhor’s face again just to show him that he could not touch her. He hadn’t ever before and wouldn’t anytime in the future.
Utterly infuriated now, Valhor stalked out of the cell and the whirled around to face Zelda once again.
“No, no, no. It is your end that is near my dear Zelda.†Valhor hissed. “Very near.†He then began walking towards the exit of the cell room. “And there’s no one here to save you this time.
