Holding The Yellow Sun
The Furies were discussing their plan, and as things were, the sisters were only wildly pulling Titans out getting no closer to their goal of freeing Cronos.
Alecto: This is idiotic! I don't want to keep pulling out random Titans!
Alecto: We already have enough of these small fries!
She kicks a Demi Titan she had forced into her slavery.
Megaera: Alecto us right. We have no idea when they will arrive.
Megaera: We mustn't waste any more time.
Tisiphone: I know...
Tisiphone: There's also the Rangers. If they find us, they'll take away the box.
Tisiphone: And there is no way they'll help us... But we do need help...
Tisiphone: Who can help us...?
Alecto: Let's ask the Oracle again!
Megaera: What is she going to do?
Alecto: You got any better ideas? Because we need someone to pull Cronos out.
Alecto: Whilst ignoring all the other losers!
Megaera: As nice as it would be to have someone who could just shove their arm down the box and pick out Cronos...
Megaera: I'm afraid there isn't anyone who could do that.
Tisiphone:... Of course, there is.
Megaera/Alecto: Huh?
Tisiphone: Atlas.
Tisiphone: The embodiment of endurance. He could easily put his arm into the box and fish out our desired Titan.
Megaera: Atlus?
Megaera: I thought he was also in the box.
Tisiphone: No, no. He was imprisoned somewhere else.
Tisiphone: He should be holding the Titan castle up.
Alecto: Right... Zeus tricked him into doing so.
Tisiphone: If we get Atlas on our side, we could get Cronos, no problem.
(Opening Theme)
The team was playing volleyball against one another as a bonding exercise.
Zena, Percy, and poor Pandora were up against Agnes, Herald, and Abigail.
Abigail and Zena were leading the charge in their respective teams.
Zena with an offensive, improvised, and confidence-filled style. Contrasted to Abigail's strategic, calm, and planned style.
(SLAM)
Zena: Ha-Za!
(SLAM)
Abigail:(smirks) As predicted.
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
Zena: Heh... Abigail, don't go slacking on me.
Abigail: I'm not intimidated by a mere one-point lead.
Zena: Then pick up the pace.
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
Abigail:(glares) I'm just getting started.
Zena: I fight bulls for a living. Try harder to scare me.
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
(SLAM)
By this point, Agnes was flat on the sand, exhausted, Herald breathing heavily off to the side, as Percy sat near the seat with his toes in the wet sand.
Pandora was dying of heat stroke in her robs since the third point.
Abigail was at her limit as Zena seemed to only have built up a good sweat.
Abigail:(panting)
Zena:(smirks) Come on...
She serves the ball but with a last push, Zena puts all her power into slamming it for the win.
(SLAM)
Abigail:!?
Zena: Ha-Za! Who's the champion? I am! Hahaha!
Abigail:(kicks sand) Tch!
Abigail: How'd you do it?!
Zena: Never give up! That was my strategy!
Abigail: I hope you don't use that for our Ranger battles.
Zena: Of course, I'll use that.
Abigail: Please use an actual strategy...
Zena: Don't be such a sour puss! Come, my friend! Let me buy you a smoothie.
Zena: We can discuss more about "Strategy" or whatever.
Abigail:(sigh)... Let's just change the topic...
Zena: Okay, to what?
Abigail: The mysterious number six.
Having recovered somewhat, all the rangers turn to Pandora who they first assume was dead.
Pandora:...
Agnes: Pandy...?
Pandora: Y-yes... Give me a minute...
Zena: Take that robe off if it's too hot.
Pandora: S-since the culture has clearly changed and being nude during sport is no longer the norm...
Pandora: I shall spare myself the embarrassment.
Pandora: Now, what was your Question?
Herald: We are still missing one Ranger. Where are they?
Pandora: Forgive me Rangers, I do not know. It is worrisome that they have yet to arrive.
Pandora: But I have faith that they are trying.
Pandora: I urge we give them a bit more time before we should worry about finding them.
Abigail: I think we should find them now... They could mess up whatever team dynamic we make by then.
Zena: It's fine. As it stands, we don't quite need them at the moment.
(RUMBLE)
Rangers:?!
Agnes: An earthquake...?
In the distance, an island seemed to be shaking.
(Elsewhere a few minutes ago)
The Furies entered a cavern deep beneath an island. There they discovered a Titan holding up some type of ancient space vessel.
Tisiphone: ATLAS!
Tisiphone: WE BEG OF THEE! FORSAKE THE OLD CASTLE, FOR THERE IS A GREATER TASK AT HAND!
Atlas: No! I must keep this up...
Tisiphone: Atlas! Everyone is in danger! And the Oracle told us only Cronos can save us.
Tisiphone: And only you can pull him out of his prison!
Atlas:... I must endure...
Tisiphone: We beg of you! That castle is nothing but the past.
Tisiphone: To save the future... Your race... You must help us.
Atlas:... Ugh...
With heavy reluctance, Atlus gave up his burden, dropping the ship which caused the cavern and the island atop it to cave in.
(RUMBLE)
Outside, the Rangers watched how the island sank into the sea, and out from it Atlus rose out.
Pandora: Atlas!? He's supposed to be holding up the Titan's castle! Why in the name of the Gods did he forsake that!?
(The Titan of Endurance: Atlas)
Zena: Whatever the reason, he just caused some massive ecological damage.
Zena: I doubt sinking an island is good, so let's take this guy down a peg.
Zena: Everyone ready?
Rangers: Hmph!
Zena: Then let's go!
Rangers: WE CALL UPON THE POWER OF OLYMPUS!
(CRACKACOOOM)
"Eleftheria I Thanatos"
Rangers: Unleash The Power!
"Pantheon Change!"
Pandora: Rangers, wait-
Leaping into the Spartan Megazord they raced towards Atlas who was looking around the world he hadn't seen in hundreds of years.
Atlas:... I've almost forgotten the beauty of this world.
Megaera: It is splendid, isn't it...?
The Furies flew up to Atlas's face from the collapsed cavern.
Tisiphone: Atlas, shrink down before the Rangers arrive to fight you!
Atlas: Too late...
The Spartan Megazord lands in the battle zone ready for combat.
Zena: People of the world! Chant our name!
Zena: For we are here to save the day!
Herald: So that's Atlas... The guy who was supposed to be holding up the world.
Abigail: I guess he was holding up something that meant the world to the Titans...
Abigail: Perhaps we should have listened to what Pandora had to say before leaping into this?
Agnes: Who cares....? Let's bash him to bits!
Zena: She has the right idea! Let's go my friends!
The Spartan Megazord charges in and punches Atlas with a mighty punch.
(WHABAAAAAM)
The Furies narrowly dodged the attack as Atlas gets struck in the face.
Zena: Here's another!
Atlas takes several more blows across the face from the Megazord.
Zena:...
Zena: "Mega Spartan Kick"!
Atlus is knocked flat on his back by the Megazord.
Agnes: Whoooo! We got this in the bag!
Percy: We should end this quickly.
Abigail: Percy is right. Prepare the "Pantheon Particle Cannon"!
Zena:...
Abigail: What are you waiting for? He's open!
Zena: We've done no damage to him...
Rangers:?
True to what Zena claimed, Atlas arose with no issue or injury.
Zena: This Titan hasn't even tried to defend itself.
Zena: He probably knows we can't hurt him...
Abigail: The enemy is cocky, we can use that.
Zena: I just get this bad feeling from this Titan...
Atlus: Zeus... I challenge you to a duel. Will you accept?
Rangers/Furies:??!
Alecto: What are you doing!? We need your help not your ashes!
Atlas: I will. But first...
Zena:... Fine. Shrink down and we'll duke it out!
Abigail: Are you serious?
Zena: Yeah.
Zena: We can learn more about the enemy this way.
Abigail:... That is a good point...
Zena: I'll hold off Atlas. The rest of you, follow the Furies
Abigail: I'll take lead.
Zena: Alright.
The four led by Abigail chase after the Furies who leave Atlas to shrink for his fight with Zena.
Choosing an open plaza in Athens, Atlas finds Zena making a grand entrance.
(Crash)
Zena: Here I Am! Feel free to chant my name!
Atlas:... Zeus... You're female now?
Zena: Actually, I'm the reincarnation of Zeus but what does it matter?
Zena: You'll fall just like the others...
Atlas: If you stop from exhaustion. I will destroy you.
Zena: Huh?
Atlas: It's what I and the old Zeus used to do.
Atlas: Now... Come at me, new Zeus... Neuz...
Zena: Neuz?! A love a nickname my friend, but I won't accept a bad one like that one!
Zena: It's a slash to my pride! Have at thee!
(Meanwhile....)
Abigail and the others chased the Furies to the open roof cavern where Pandora was hiding with the box.
Abigail:(whispers) Hold the line... Wait for my signal to attack.
From above, they carefully watched the sisters.
Alecto: It was a mistake trying to bring Atlus into this...
Tisiphone: Be patient. All is not lost with him yet.
Alecto: But he's up against the Rangers!
Tisiphone: There's a reason why Zeus tricked him into holding up the castle all this time.
Tisiphone: Zeus couldn't beat him. Atlus has a near-endless amount of endurance.
Megaera: Atlus will outlast the Red Ranger. She has no chance in Tarturus of outlasting him.
Alecto: When you say it like that... I kinda want to have my turn~
Tisiphone: Let's bring Pandora's Box to him. He should be capable of pulling out Cronos just like that-
Abigail: Now!
The four leaped down into the cavern where they surprised the Furies.
Following her plan, Percy stood in front of Tisiphone, Agnes Megaera, and Herald were in the way of Alecto as she took the Box.
Abigail grabbed the box and held her blade at the ready.
Abigail: I read Pandora's lore, you weren't the enemies in the past, thus I shall give you this one chance to surrender!
Tisiphone: Conniving little Rangers...
Alecto: YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SURPRISE US LIKE THIS!
Megaera: Think again!
(Battle Theme)
In complete unison, the sisters cracked their whips and flapped their wings, grabbing Blue, Pink, and black weapons with their whips.
The flapping of their wings created a powerful gust that sounded like the screams of the tortured.
Rangers: Ugh!
Abigail leaped out from the gust that held the others afloat whilst they hung onto their weapons.
Yellow then threw her shield which bounced around the room smacking all three sisters in quick succession.
Freed from the gust, Agnes and Percy pulled on their weapons, making Tisiphone and Megaera stumble toward them.
Herald tried the same but the vengeful Alecto planted her feet firmly and turned the tables on him by pulling him towards her.
Herald was quickly entangled in Alecto's whip who proceeded to spin him into a wall like a Yo-Yo.
Agnes pulled on Megaera's whip, creating tension which she used to help her rapidly kick the Fury.
Percy swung widely at Tisiphine who flipped over the attack and flew straight towards Abigail who placed Pandora's box on her shield and allowed it to slide down the mountain they were on.
Tackling Tisiphone back down into the cavern the fight continued.
(Back with Red)
Pandora, seeing the fight between Zena and Atlas on a live broadcast, quickly raced to the plaza to find a familiar scenario.
The Red Ranger exhausted against Atlus.
Zena:(panting)...
Atlas: Are you at your limit?
Zena: Hehe... Not even close... I choked on some spit, that's why I'm panting!
Pandora: Zena....
Pandora:(mind) Though the Pantheon's powers have grown, I don't know if it'll be enough to stop Atlas!
She points her spear at Atlus as she calmly approached.
Zena: Humanity has remembered you in a false light...
Zena: Today, we shall rectify that! So show the world your best side!
Zena: It's your last chance after all!
Charging at full speed, Zena slides her spear under Atlas's foot allowing her to easily lift him off the ground.
Before he could land Zena gets under him and lifts him over her head.
Atlas: What is this...?
Zena: Let's call it.... A commercial break!
Tossing him as high as she could, Zena pulls out her Morpher and places it next to her Spear.
"Pantheon Charge!"
Calling lightning from the heavens, onto her Thunder-rod spear, Red curved the power back up to Atlas's back, lifting him even higher.
Zena: But wait! There's more!
"Pantheon Charge!"
She repeated the process, again...
"Pantheon Charge!"
And Again...
"Pantheon Charge!"
And again...
Until Atlas was completely out of sight.
Pandora: Eh?!
Zena: See you next fall, my friend... Hope you enjoy the sky you held up for so long.
She falls flat on her but in exhaustion.
Zena:(Heavy Sigh of relief)...
Pandora: Are you okay?
Zena: Oh? Pandy... Yeah, just a little tired... I used up a lot of power sending him into space.
Pandora: That will only be a temporary solution...
Zena: I. Am. Well, aware....
Zena: How did Zeus defeat him before?
Pandora: He didn't. Zeus tricked Atlas into holding up the Titan's castle.
Pandora: It was basically a bet... Zeus bet that Atlas couldn't hold it for all eternity.
Zena: What did they bet for?
Pandora:.....
Pandora:(clears throat) Just one of those stupid bets, y-you know?
Pandora: There was no reward... No stupid nymph or anything of the sort involved...
Zena: Ooooookay....?
Zena: But Atlas lost... Can I use that?
Atlas: Neuz!!
Zena: Huh!?
Pandora: Look out!
(CRASH)
A young adult and child got off a bus to see Atlas in the distance land back down with a heavy crash.
The two had been keeping tabs through a live broadcast.
Child: I must aid my brother from another life...
Teen: You're what?
Child: I don't know... I just felt compelled to say that...
The child drags the teen away from prying eyes.
Child: This is good... It's time to Morph.
Teen: Morph? What? You're going to turn into a Power Ranger?
Child: Exactly... I'll prove it to you once and for all.
Child: I CALL UPON THE POWER OF TARTARUS-(COUGH, COUGH)!
(KRACKACOOOM)
A Morpher appears in the child's hand as they burst into a fit of coughing.
The teen is quick to their side.
Teen: Don't overdo it! You're still terminal!
Child:(panting) B-But I honestly feel fine...(COUGH)!
Child: I have to help... They need me...
Teen: Listen I believe you're one of them now, okay?
Teen: But you don't have to put yourself at risk like this.
Child: I feel fine!
Teen: You might feel it, but you are not it!
Teen: You're ill. And of no use to anyone if you break down like you are now...
Teen: Belief in the Rangers. And once they win, I'll get you to them... Like I promise.
The child faints, dropping their Morpher.
Teen:?
(Tartarus Morpher)
Teen:....
It fades away into the ether.
TO BE CONTINUED.....
