With a resounding clash, she deflected his blow and retaliated with a swift counterattack, the force of her strike sending Zack hurtling through the air, his momentum carrying him several feet before he crashed to the ground with a grunt of pain.
As Kimberly seized an opportunity to strike, Rita's keen perception allowed her to anticipate the attack. With a swift movement, she swung her staff towards Kimberly, aiming to intercept her with deadly accuracy. However, Kimberly's reflexes were equally sharp, and she reacted with lightning speed, ducking beneath the swinging staff with graceful agility. Rita's strike whistled harmlessly over Kimberly's head as she evaded the blow.
Meanwhile, Alexander seized the moment, closing in on Rita to disarm her. Their struggle intensified as they grappled for control of the staff.
As Rita's attempts to use her staff were thwarted by Alexander's relentless grip, the balance of power shifted in the melee.

She then swiftly dispatched Jason with a precise blow to the face, sending him tumbling through the air.
With her adversaries regrouping, Rita wasted no time, swiftly dodging Billy's attempted swipe kick and retaliating with a calculated strike. But Alex, fueled by determination, launched a daring flying knee kick, catching Rita off guard and momentarily staggering her.
"Don't let her breathe, Keep the pressure on her!" Alex's command echoed through the chaos as Kimberly, Trini, Jason, Zack, and Billy rallied for another round.
With a sneer of contempt, Rita acknowledged her opponents' resilience before springing into action once more. With a lightning-quick leap, she vaulted into the air, the back end of her staff connecting with Kimberly's head with a sickening thud, sending her staggering backwards.
As Jason moved in to retaliate, Rita swiftly pivoted, swinging the front end of her staff with deadly precision, striking him square in the chest and hurling him back with tremendous force.

Billy muttered"Cannot give up?"
As Alex nodded and got up with him, Kimberly, Trini, Zack and Jason follows.
Frustration etched across her face, Rita sneered, "These rats dare to challenge me?"
She smirks and muttered, "I will leave a present for Zordon."
With a swift motion, she lunged forward, driving her staff deep into Billy's abdomen. The metallic clang echoed through the battlefield as Billy staggered backward, pain contorting his features.
Alex seeing this yelled in worry, fear and anger"Billy."
As rage consumed him, Alexander's transformation was nothing short of awe-inspiring. His once ordinary form was now encased in a sleek, full-body metallic suit, its silver surface adorned with elegant gold accents. The helmet, shaped like a fierce tiger, concealed his features behind intricate designs, its visor glowing with a vibrant blue neon light that traced the contours of his body.
With the weight of his anger bearing down upon him, Alexander's voice rang out like thunder, his words dripping with fury as he declared his intent to end Rita once and for all. In his hand, a shimmering white dagger materialized, its handle adorned with golden lines and crowned with a fearsome lion's head, its eyes ablaze with a crimson fire.
As Alexander charged forward, his resolve unshakable, Rita's initial surprise gave way to a knowing smile, a flicker of recognition crossing her features. "So you are his successor," she murmured, her voice laced with a mixture of sadness,amusement and disdain. "But I will not allow you to destroy my plans."
With a flick of her staff, Rita unleashed a torrent of green energy, the air around them crackling with its malevolent power. Undeterred, Alexander closed the distance between them in a blur of motion, his blade meeting Rita's staff with a resounding clash that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
As Alexander's desperate plea echoed across the battlefield, Kimberly's heart wrenched with conflict. "Get away from here, I cannot hold on for much longer," Alex yelled.
Kimberly did not want to, but Trini held on to her and said, "We have to take Billy to Zordon, he is losing to much blood. Also if we stay here we will only cause trouble for Alex."
Kimberly looked at pale Billy carried by Jason and Zack, she then nodded and retreated with them.
While the battle between Alexander and Rita, with each clash of their weapons, small shockwaves rippled through the air, testament to the sheer power behind their strikes.
Rita's staff twirled with deadly grace, each swing accompanied by a burst of green energy that crackled ominously in the air. Her movements were fluid and precise, a deadly dance that left no room for error.
She smirked and Alex and said,"Sacrificing yourself to save your friends, how noble."
Rita was once again seeing a shadow of her former companion in this boy.
But Alexander was equally formidable, his sword gleaming in the dim light as he met Rita's attacks with skill and determination. With each swing, he moved with a grace and agility that belied his anger, dodging Rita's swings with expertly timed flips and rolls.
As their weapons clashed, the sound of metal on metal rang out like a symphony of war, echoing across the battlefield. Rita's strikes came fast and furious, each blow aimed with deadly accuracy, but Alexander was no mere novice. With lightning-fast reflexes, he countered her attacks with a series of swift blocks and parries, his blade a blur of motion as he fought to keep pace with her relentless assault.
As the relentless battle raged on, Alexander's keen eyes caught sight of a nearby table stacked with crates. With a plan forming in his mind, he subtly maneuvered Rita towards it, biding his time for the perfect moment to strike.
With a sudden burst of speed, Alexander unleashed a deceptive sweeping kick towards Rita, but his true target was the table's leg. Rita, ever watchful, anticipated the attack and leaped out of harm's way, believing herself to be the intended target.
As Rita landed gracefully on the ground, a triumphant smirk gracing her lips, Alexander seized the opportunity he had been waiting for. Alexander's foot connected with the table's leg, shattering it with a resounding crack. With a deafening crash, the table collapsed, sending the crates tumbling down in a cacophony of splintering wood and crashing debris.
Caught off guard by the unexpected onslaught, Rita found herself buried beneath the weight of the fallen crates.
With Rita temporarily incapacitated, Alexander knew that now was his chance to escape. Without hesitation, he turned and bolted from the scene, his heart pounding with adrenaline as he raced towards safety.
