A/N: Hey all Power Ranger fans! In this new update we pick up where we left off in the intense fight between the Power Rangers, and Venjix' motorcycle drone scout that infiltrates Meena's graduation party in the lair. Bodi and Darma also discovered the identities of the Power Rangers while having a little tour of the city, and are now witnessing another fight between good and evil right in front of them in a cave underneath the 'Moon Theater'. Now, we pick back up where we left in the middle of this intensely epic battle. Enjoy!

(Normal P.O.V.)

While the rangers fought the drone, Darma and Bodi guided each and every one of Rosita's kids underneath the table which held the baked goods and desserts, as well as a gigantic glass bowl of various candies wrapped in little plastic or paper wrappings. After Bodi gathered the last two of them, he placed them underneath the table along with Norman who was underneath the same table with them.

"Alright you guys, stay here and you'll be safe" Darma said.

"Is mommy okay?" one of the piglets asked in a worried tone of voice.

"Don't worry, Mommy's gonna be okay. She's a Power Ranger, she knows what she's doing" Darma added, trying make the piglets calm down. One of the others eyes looked up to see the bowl of candy before letting out a smile and pointing upwards at it.

"Can I have some candy?" she asked. Bodi's eyes widened and shook his head as well as his arms in a waving motion back and forth to try and get the kids to be quiet so that the drone wouldn't notice them and try to hurt them.

"Now, now, guys. You gotta stay hidden, or you'll get hurt" Bodi said in a calm tone of voice, trying to persuade the piglets into hiding instead of asking for candy. The same piglet who asked began to give a sad look and making her bottom lip quiver.

"Pretty please?" she begged. Bodi just groaned and pace-pawed himself before he took out a paw-full out of the bowl and gave each piglet two pieces.

"There you go, now please be quiet or something bad's gonna happen" said Bodi.

"You heard him, kids. Stay close to me, okay?" Norman said. Darma then let go of the tablecloth and it covered the entire table once again before they hid behind the table where Meena's wrapped graduation presents were and continued to watch the rangers fight the drone. Johnny was having a hard time dodging the drone's attacking whenever it took a chance, this drone was much more fast, limber, and nimble than the other robots that they faced in the past before. The drone's leg kicked Johnny right in the center of the chest plate of his ranger armor and sent him flying back against the table which Rosita's piglets were hiding underneath and made it shake slightly and making the bowl of candy fall off and shattering into glass bits and candy splayed all over the lair's floor.

"Oh no!" Darma and Bodi said unison with wide eyes and slightly agape jaws. Six piglets saw the candy all over the place and their eyes were now wider than before and sparkling. Norman turned his head to see the candy and began to panic, shaking, fearing for the safety of his children.

"No, no, no, no. Kids, we have to stay hidden!" Norman desperately urged.

"CANDY!" the six piglets called out before running out from their hiding spot and their cry loud enough for all the rangers to hear and turn to see the kids feeding on the candy like a bunch of squirrels fighting over nuts (figure of speech).

"NO!" all the rangers called out as the drone saw them and began to slowly approach them before he loaded up his arm gun and pointed it at them.

"Flesh and blood life is meaningless, as well as their spawn. Six less organics for this galaxy to worry about is fine by me" the drone said. Bodi then saw another table which had a bowl of punch sitting on it as well as several red solo cups on it. Deciding to do something about it, Bodi ran over to the table and jumped into the air, kicking on one end of the table and launching the punch bowl off the table like a catapult. The entire bowl's contents spilled onto the cannon, making it short circuit and power down before exploding and taking it's whole arm with it. Johnny saw the whole thing and was now in awe underneath his mouth-shield and visor.

"Woah" he whispered. While the drone tried to nurse it's destroyed arm, Darma ran up to it and jumped into the air off one of the folding chairs on the training patio and did a spinning kick in mid-air, knocking the drone's helmet off, revealing the inner workings of it's head. Once Darma landed behind the drone, she grabbed one of it's sides of it's midsection and yanked out a series of wires, and an engine piece connected to the other end, making a small fire emit inside it and smoke came out of it.

"Nice kick" Meena told her friend.

"Thanks" Darma said before running over to help the Pink Ranger escort her six piglets back underneath the table and told them to stay where they were in a stern voice to make sure they wouldn't disobey her again. The drone struggled to keep on walking as it's side was burning and smoke came out of the vents and crevices of it's mechanical body.

"Hey Metalhead!" Ash's voice caught the drone's attention before it turned around to face the White Ranger holding a can of soda in her paws before she shook it up and pointed the opening end at the robot,

"Try this new soda, it's called diet grenade!" she shouted before opening the soda and an entire fountain of brown, sugary, sticky fluids gushed right out of it and it landed right on the drone's other arm gun and making it explode the same way the other did. Since the drone had no feelings or brain of any kind, it did not scream or flinch, it felt no pain at all. Gunter then swung his legs behind the legs of the robot, and it began to lose it's balance.

"Have a nice trip!" Gunter said before Johnny ran up and kicked it in the back of it's head, launching it over to the other end of the lair.

"See you next fall!" the Red Ranger added as it hit the ground. Bodi then saw one of the folding chairs that was right on the patio and picked it up, running over towards the drone while it tried to stand up. When it looked up, it saw Bodi swinging the chair at it's visor like a baseball bat and shattering the entire thing, bits and pieces falling off the destroyed glass shield and falling down onto the lair's floor.

"Optical visor damaged, cannot maintain visual" the robot said while moving around like it was slipping on an icy ground. Ninjor then walked up behind the drone and kicked it in the back, forcing it down onto the ground before he looked to Johnny.

"He's all yours, Johnny" Ninjor told him.

"Much appreciated, Sensei" said the Red Ranger before walking up and placing his boot down on the chest of the robot, preventing it from getting up. The other rangers surrounded it, as well as Bodi and Darma.

"Any last words, tin can?" Johnny said before raising up his power sword to drop it down in a stabbing motion.

"I see you" said the robot in a different tone of voice, a voice that didn't belong to it. The change of it's voice surprised the rangers a bit.

"Do you think the dog hit it's voice-box when he hit this thing with the chair? Because I think he broke that as well" Mike asked.

"This is not my messenger talking, it is I... General Venjix. The steward of the Machine Empire, formerly under the command of the great King Mondo. That is until your pathetic kind slaughtered him and forced us into exile" the robot said, revealing that Venjix was speaking to them, using the drone as a conduit.

"What do you want?" asked Johnny in a serious tone.

"Isn't it obvious? I want the map. You stole it from me the night before, and I just want back what's mine" Venjix told them.

"Well whatever that 'Map' leads to, you can't have it you sick gas guzzler!" said Mike, making fun of the destroyed state of the motorcycle drone. Venjix only chuckled and continued to talk to the rangers while their families, as well as Nana and Buster came out of their hiding spots.

"That's the problem with you organic beings, you wanna protect the world, but you don't want it to change. In order to obtain peace, you must accept what is coming" Venjix stated.

"And what do you know about peace?" Ash said, taking up her own power sword and getting ready to stab the drone along with her boyfriend when he did as well.

"That there can only be one path to achieving it... the Power Rangers' extinction" said Venjix before both Red and White Rangers stabbed the robot in it's head and then sliced it off for good measure. The entire thing was now twitching and short circuiting like a broken wind-up toy before it shut down completely and lied down on the floor completely limp. All six rangers shouted 'Power Down' in unison and their ranger suits disappeared.

"Does anyone want to explain to me what just happened here?" asked Marcus.

"We've been breached" Johnny calmly answered.

"Not only that, we have a new enemy" Rosita added. Nana then approached them and cleared her voice.

"He mentioned some sort of map. What is he talking about?" she asked. Buster then walked up to her and began explaining.

"Last night, there was another robot attack on the city. One of them tried to take a stone tablet, a Rosetta Stone from a museum while the others fought the rangers, but it was stopped. We heard something move around inside it, we may think this 'Map' thing may be inside it" he said, trying his best to explain the situation to Nana.

"Take it out and crack it open. I want to see it" Nana politely ordered. Buster then ran upstairs to go into his office and get the stone tablet.

-In Space-

Venjix had just finished talking after the rangers severed his transmission by severing his robotic messenger's head. Once the connection was interrupted, Venjix stood up from his throne and yanked all the wires that were connected to him off his armored body and began to walk out of his throne room and down to the bridge where all the other robotic foot soldiers of the Machine Empire awaited him.

"Attention all soldiers and servants, prepare to receive briefing from General Venjix" a voice on the ship's intercom said. Venjix then made his way down to the balcony with a podium on it, and which had a microphone fused onto it as well. Once he arrived at the podium, he cleared his mechanical throat and began to speak to his soldiers below.

"My children, ever since the Power Rangers claimed victory after the battle of Corinth, our kind has been forced to hide among the stars in secret. But I hereby say... NO MORE!" he screamed, making all the robotic soldiers cheer. When Venjix raised his hand, all the robotic soldiers were silent and their leader began to speak once again.

"We have discovered the location of the map to Serpentera, the greatest Zord ever built. But is now in the possession of a new generation of Power Rangers" Venjix stated, which made his soldiers go 'Boo' before they were silenced again by a simple raise of Venjix' hand.

"But, we have discovered where their powers originate and what the source is. We have the advantage with this knowledge at our disposal. Once we take out the source, we will strip the rangers of their powers and take back the map, and it will lead us to Serpentera. Once we have reactivated it, we will finally rebuilt Earth in our own image, and have revenge against those who destroyed our illustrious leader and master, King Mondo!" he said, while pointing to a large statue of King Mondo standing in a meditation pose like a Buddha statue, making all the robots cheer again. With that said, his speech was over and walked down towards the ship's hanger where all it's battleships and fighter ships were carried.

"Prepare my royal fighter and set a course for Earth. I will arrive on the planet first, and once I destroy the rangers' power source and have the map, I will send you the coordinates to where you shall meet me" Venjix ordered to a mechanic who worked in the hanger. The mechanic nodded and ran off to prepare his master's shuttle.

"Revenge. Is. Mine" Venjix hoarsely said while walking back to his throne room.

-Back on Earth-

Buster was now doing his best to crack open the stone tablet with a hammer and chisel while Nana and the Power Rangers stood around him watching. The only ranger who wasn't in the circle with them was Johnny, who was thinking hard about what the drone had told them through Venjix' transmission.

"Phew this is one tough cookie. It does not wanna crack open" Buster said before he wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to pick at the stone. The stone had bits and pieces of it off, revealing shiny chrome metal underneath.

"This is by far, the weirdest party I've ever been to" Darma said while taking a sip of her drink. Her comment got her 'Stink Eyes' from the rangers, which made her chuckle nervously and say 'Sorry'. They then looked back down at the stone and kept watching Buster try to pry the map out of the stone quietly before Mike piped in.

"Does anyone wanna guess what this 'Venjix' guy or whatever it is he calls himself wants with this thing?" the little white mouse asked.

"Isn't it obvious? It's gotta lead to an ancient artifact, or a weapon, or some other kind of powerful doomsday device. We're all that's preventing him from getting it, and he wants to kill us to make sure nothing stands in his way" Gunter said with his hooves on his porky hips and rolling his eyes.

"Not dead" Johnny said, getting everyone's attention.

"He didn't say he wanted us dead... he said he wanted us 'Extinct', but that's what confuses me" Johnny continued. Rosita was the first one to answer his question.

"What's confusing to you?" asked the Pink Ranger.

"Extinct means to wipe out an entire race, or even a sect of warriors. I thought we were the only Power Rangers on Earth, there aren't any others. So why would Venjix say that he wants the Power Rangers extinct when we're the only ones?" Johnny explained. He made a very good point, which made everyone else start to have puzzling thoughts and think deeply to themselves.

"Johnny's right. Last I checked, there is no other team of Power Rangers on this planet besides us, every single time something tries attacking our world, we're the only ranger team to take it down. Every time you turn on the news, you just see us, no other rangers" Meena said, backing up what Johnny said. Ninjor took a deep breath and spoke up.

"That is where you are wrong, all of you are" Ninjor began, and everyone looked up to him.

"The Power Rangers have existed for ages and ages since the beginning of time. Each ancient culture on this planet has at least one story of a team of warriors who donned armor of different colors defeating unspeakable threats. The Power Rangers have been protecting the Earth long before your world's law enforcement organizations have been" Ninjor explained. Each and every one of the rangers' minds were blown at this revelation.

"Well, if that's true... do you know anything about the ranger team who may have faced this 'Venjix' guy before?" asked Rosita.

"No, I do not. I am only familiar with a few, as well as my old ranger team before Ferra-Khan killed them in battle years ago. And I also do know of you, the ones who put an end to Ferra-Khan once and for all, but I know of no other team of Power Rangers who could have faced this mysterious foe" he concluded. A loud crack startled everyone and all eyes were now on the stone tablet, which was now in tiny little pieces and in it's place was what looked like a small glowing blue slab of glass with four metal corners on the edges. The entire thing was the size of an iPhone, but without a doubt it was the map Venjix was talking about.

"That's the map?" Mike asked. Bodi then stared down at it and put a claw out to touch it.

"Bodi, don't!" Ash shouted, but it was too late. When Bodi touched the map's screen, a giant holographic projection of the Earth was shown, but it didn't look like the planet they knew from the globes they would normally see on the desks of their teachers back in school.

"Oh my, it's Pangea. The Super continent" said Nana.

"You mean what the whole Earth was before they split up?" Mike asked.

"Exactly" Nana answered nodding. On the screen now was a little red blip, making a sound similar to a submarine's sonar.

"Where is it?" asked Johnny.

"I don't even know where that is. I'm used to regular atlas maps and globes, I've never worked with a map like this before back in geography class" Meena said. Buster then got an idea and left the lair before coming back with a large map of the continents and a red permanent marker. He then looked up and down at both maps a few times and then made a large red dot where it showed, it stayed in the same place it was marked, despite the shifting of the planet's tectonic plates moving each bit and piece of Pangea to different locations on the planet.

"Everyone, look" Buster said. They all looked down to where the red dot was on the map and saw that the red dot was pointing down at Dubai.

"Whatever he's looking for's in Dubai" Buster told them.

"Yeah, but where? It doesn't show exactly where in Dubai it is" said Ash. Darma then pulled out her phone and went onto Google Earth and zoomed down at the exact coordinates Buster made. Once there, Darma showed them all pictures of the place where the map lead. It was a large city near the beach where an oddly shaped hotel sat by the seaside.

"Wait, I recognize that place. It's the Burj Al Arab hotel, it was on the cover of one of Owl City's albums" Johnny said.

"And the red dot on the map is right above the ocean just off the coast near that hotel. So that means it's underwater" Darma added.

"Well, now that we know where this thing is, we have to make sure Venjix doesn't take this map" said Rosita, taking the map into her hoof and deactivating the hologram, making them nod in agreement. Johnny then walked up to Darma and Bodi and began to speak.

"I saw what you both did during the fight. Protecting Rosita's family, at great risk to yourselves as well. Those are the makings of true heroes" Johnny said with his arms crossed against his chest and a grin on his face.

"Really?" Bodi asked smiling and his tail wagging at the same time.

"Yep. In fact, I have something I wanna ask you both" Johnny continued.

"What is it?" asked Darma. Everyone was now listening to what the Red Ranger had to say to the fox and the mastiff.

"Meena is going away for college soon, and Gunter will be leaving too to travel the world. When they leave, we'll have no Yellow and Blue Rangers. So, how would you two like to be the new Power Rangers on our team?" he offered.

"WHAT!?" the two of them shouted in unison.

"WHAT!?" the other rangers repeated.

"What!?" Nana, Buster, and the rangers' families said as well.

A/N: And there you have it! Chapter Five of 'Power Rangers: Zeo'. Bodi and Darma have proven themselves worthy enough to be Power Rangers, and we also have learned where Serpentera is buried. Now all they have to do is make sure Venjix and the Machine Empire never gets their filthy robot hands on that map. The rangers have also learned that there were other rangers before them, and that each ancient civilization on Earth has had at least one team of Power Rangers to defend their people. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
