Z for Zedd

Earth, 9000 years ago

I was on my to the Conneticut convention center to participate in my first convention. Seeing how it was a convention I decided to dress up as on of my favorite power ranger baddies Lord Zedd. In the show he was absolutely terrifying, so much so that they had to tone him down because parents called and said that he gave their children nightmares. That was mostly the reason why I picked him. I did a good job on the costume as well with the red muscle skin, the metal plating (they were actually pieces of cardboard I spray painted a metallic silver), the red visor, his helmet that had the antenna with a z on top and the tubes that made him look like Frankenstein had made his monster after he just dropped acid. However I wasn't able to make the staff and that sadden me a little because it made the costume feel incomplete. I finally got in the convention center and started walking around, and it was awesome. Meeting nice people with awesome costumes, decent food and the booths with some pretty amazing stuff. After walking through the booths for literally hours I came across this one booth which was being run by a guy dressed up as the merchant from whatever the name of that game was. I was looking through his items until I came upon it. It was Lord Zedd's staff and it looked exactly like the one from the show. The metallic silver painting, the giant Z on the top and ending with the sharp, pointed edge. I had high hopes I could get this for a cheap price, but I prepared myself for the worst.

"So how much for the staff?"

The guy walked over to where I was standing, examined the staff and then spoke.

"It'll cost you $15.54." He said in a fast, but still understandable voice. I grabbed $15 plus the change, grabbed the staff and walked off. I couldn't believe how cheap that deal was. As I continued walking around I started to grow tired. I sat down to rest in a chair at the food court. However things got dark and I blacked out. I believed I hit the floor of the convention.

................................................

I regained consciousness after what I think was a few hours and the first thing I notice was that I was lying on a cold, stone floor unlike the carpeted floor of the convention center. I opened my eyes to see the red of the visor I was wearing and what looked to be Lord Zedd's throne room. There were the dark grey walls, the entrance, the balcony, his throne and to top it all off the giant fan behind the throne.

"What is going on here?" I said. I immediately stopped in shock at my voice sound exactly like Lord Zedd. (for some reason it won't let me put a video from YouTube right now talking so I'll describe it. Also if you look it up can you tell me how I did?) It was a dark, threatening and gravel voice. As I tried walking to their balcony to see where this palace was I tripped and slam my knee against the stone floor. What true my shocked me was that I felt pain. I had initially thought this was a dream until the pain. But to be sure I took my now covered in a sharp metal finger and made a cut on my arm. It was painful as all heck and I saw a little green ooze (which I think was my blood) come out. My mind went into hysteria after this revaluation.

"This is impossible, no, no, nooooooooooooooooooooo!" I fell to my knees shouting in rage. My magic must have responded to me as red beams fired out of my staff causing the whole palace to shake. I rose off from the ground and walked on to the balcony. Looking down I could see that the palace was on the moon like in the show. However this moon wasn't orbiting any planet however. Not only that, but the planets were completely different. And that is when I had my mental breakdown.

"Why?!? Why of all the people did it have to be me? Now I am stranded in God knows where all alone!"

And that is when my sanity walked straight out the door for good, never to be seen again.

"Ha, ha, ah, in a galaxy with planets ready to be conquered by me, ha, ha ah!" I couldn't stop laughing as I fell deeper into my insanity.

I am no longer that pathetic being. I am Lord Zedd, always have been and always will be. No galaxy is safe from iron, cold grip! For soon the whole universe will be mine! And anyone who gets in my way will be destroyed!

I collapsed on to my throne as I continued to laugh like on of those mad men locked in an asylum. On that day I began my 9,000 years conquest across the universe. And nothing would stop me.
