Another Power Rangers drabble. This one is to show a friend that I can write intelligent villains. And sense Lord Zed and Rita Repulsa are about the stupidest villains to ever grace the small screen, they weren't hard to improve.
Title: Five Ways to Kill a Power Ranger

Summary: Title says it all
Disclaimer: Not my characters, if they were, the show would have been cancelled in the first ep.
“Finster!” Rita cried shrilly, descending on her underling like a harpy. “I need a potion right now!”
“Yes, your highnessness,” Finster kowtowed.
“I want you to make a potion that will make the power rangers think they’re five-year-olds. When Goldar slips it into their drinks, they’ll be helpless! And I will conquer Earth! Mwah ha ha!” She cackled evilly.
“Right away, oh radiant mistress,” Finster started to fiddle with his ingredients.
“On second thought,” Rita put a restraining hand on Finster and withdrew a pouch from her skirt. “Goldar! This is arsenic. Put THAT in their drinks.”

“Oh, man,” Zack groaned, staring up at the now forty foot tall flesh-eating fork-monster.
“We need thunder megazord power, now!” Jason yelled, gesticulating wildly.
“Mastodon lion thunderzord pow-“ *squish*
Zack’s cry and series of strange acrobatic positions were cut off as the giant monster stepped on the still small and defenseless power rangers.

“I have a plan to conquer the power rangers!” Lord Zed announced to his lackeys, hoping that he would come up with something. He looked at his staff and thought - wait, if I can change things with my staff from space, and a mind control spell is relatively easy…
Zed pointed his staff towards Angel Grove, a beam of red light shooting out to intercept the power rangers as they picnicked in the park. He beamed down to face the now blank-faced teens.
“What is your bidding, my master,” they all spoke in a unison monotone, a red light flashing from their eyes.
“Give me your power coins,” Zed commanded, and soon found himself holding the coveted source of his enemies’ power. “Excellent. Now jump of a cliff.”
Zed barely saw the flash of Kim’s swirling skirt as the six sprinted off to do his bidding.

“I will turn Tommy’s fan into a monster to destroy the Power Rangers!” Lord Zed cried, letting loose a bolt of energy to the unsuspecting overheated green ranger’s bedroom. “But why stop there?” A shower of energy blasts descended from space creating a bevy of heavily armed minions. The fan monster, pink mirror monster, yellow scrunchy monster, red dumbbell monster, blue calculator monster and black boombox monster all united on the downtown of angel grove, joining dozens of other household objects gone awry. They immediately took advantage of a growth spell, and didn’t feel the need to hold off on using their awe-inspiring laser firing capabilities. Soon Angel Grove was a crisped crater. And the power rangers? Six to sixty are impossible odds, even for them.

“You are helpless now!” Rita gloated over the power rangers. Without their morphers and communicators - unreachable by Zordon and trapped in an energy field - the rangers grunted bestially and glared at the intergalactic bad girl. “My monsters will destroy Angel Grove, and you will be helpless to stop them! I will let you free so that you may watch powerlessly and suffer!”
“You’ll never get away with this, Rita Repulsa!” Jason yelled.
“I already have,” Rita replied, a bit cocky, “all I have to do is - wait. Why am I telling you? Goldar, kill them.”
