Power Rangers: Brave and the Bold

Episode 1: The Volcanic Plot

On a deserted volcanic Island in the Polynesian archipelago, a crew of lizard like men was carrying a strange, metallic device. They were being led by a strange, draconic creature. “Soon, it shall be ready”-said one of the many lizard men. The dragon man, however, was too deep in concentration to notice anything. All he could think about was how unnecessary he deemed the project he had been working on. However, having sworn fealty to his master, he was obligated by duty to fulfill this very important mission.

Cameron Watanabe, Head Sensei of the Wind Ninja Academy, was quietly meditating in his private chambers. Suddenly, he was alerted to the presence of an outsider in this most sacred area. Ronald Joshua, more commonly known as RJ, Wolf Master of the Order of the White Claw, had strolled right in to the Academy, a feat that only so few can accomplish. Cam stepped outside to greet him, and then show him the way out. “I wouldn’t bother to bother you, if it was not for something important”-said RJ, calm and cool as ever. He chuckled to himself for that slight repetition.

Inside the dojo, RJ handed Cam a few photos. ‘In Teru Island, a few kilometers southeast of Tuvalu, lies an active volcano. A young sexy thing named Rose Ortiz has told me she spotted some suspicious characters on the island. She sent me this particularly fascinating photo”-he handed the young Samurai a photo of some metal object being carried by a group of lizard men. Cam’s eyes widened. “These are called Lava Lizards”- said Cam-“They threatened Earth back in 2007. I was under the impression that they were defeated in their entirety during the final days of Operation Overdrive”. RJ leaned back a little, and then lay on the floor. ‘Two things: First, Lava Lizards are not like the grunts the Power Rangers tend to face, they are an authentic alien race- RJ groans a little- Second, come on man, invest in some chairs!”

Something was bothering Cam. “I know what you want. You want me to go with you to this island, check out what they are doing, and stop them in case they are up to something nasty.”- RJ nodded-“One question: Why me, specifically?” RJ got up- “I need a guy who can not only put up a fight, and a decent one at that, I also need a guy who knows his way around technology. This babe, Hayley, gave you her seal of approval.”-RJ forms a smile- ‘My dad taught me to always trust the judgment of a woman with killer looks and a smart mind” Cam did not argue.

With a new jet that Cam had created, it took the duo a full 3 hours to get to Teru Island. On the shores of Teru, RJ took notice of a dragon man talking to some Lizards. “In only an hour, the job will be complete”-said the dragon man. RJ took a good look at him. He had red wings on his back, a pair of triceratops horns on his head, and large clawed hands. Otherwise, he looked like any of the Lava Lizards. “Lord Dragonox-said one of the Lizards- The volcano is starting to look a little active.” Dragonox seemed a little surprised at this news. “Better make that fifteen minutes”. Cam pondered what he could have meant. The duo followed the Lizard crew up the volcano. There, they saw the strange metallic device. It looked like some sort of laser gun, and it was pointed at the lava below. Cam and RJ knew, immediately, that their ranger powers would be needed.

“Lord Moltor, in just fifteen minutes, you will revive, and walk among us once again”-said one of the Lizards. ‘Lord Moltor, lead us with your strength”. Dragonox maintained a stern face, in contrast to the hopeful faces of his fellow Lizards. ‘Ten minutes-he said- Ten more minutes until HE returns.” The only ones NOT cheering at this news were Dragonox, Cam and RJ. Suddenly, as RJ stepped a little closer to look at the ray gun, he tripped on a stone, alerting the Lizards to his presence.

No need to waste words. In but an instant, the duo was donning their Ranger suits. It was time to fight. Six Lava lizards charged at RJ, the Wolf Ranger. His roundhouse kicks did three of them in. The fourth one was defeated by a kick combo. A butterfly kick made quick work out of the fifth one. Using a boulder as a platform, RJ finished the sixth Lizard with a flying corkscrew kick. He looked at is surroundings, noticing that there were still 25 lizards standing, and Dragonox was licking his claws in anticipation. Five of those Lizards were attacking the green member of this duo.

Cam readied his Samurai Sword. He unsheathed it, slashing down a Lizard while doing so. He parried another Lizards attack, and then counterattacked with a sword slash. A third one was defeated in but an instant, with some fancy sword attacks. The fourth Lizard was defeated with a punch combo, and the last one was done away with a powerful under slash.

Dragonox roared- “Enough! Rangers, I am not going to waste another Lizard on you. You face ME now!” Flapping his wings, he charged at the Wolf. A slew of slashes did the purple Ranger in. Dragonox then set his sight at the Green Ranger. Cam readied himself. Dragonox charged at the Green Samurai Ranger. Cam dodged just in time, but did not expect the powerful gust o wind caused by the power of Dragonox’s wings. The wind blew Cam towards Dragonox, who proceeded to give the samurai a good slash. Sparks flew off Cam’s suit as he rolled on the ground, almost helplessly. RJ looked at the beam: It was about ready to fire. “Cam, the beam!” Cameron knew he had to act fast, and RJ knew he had only one chance to make sure Cameron did the job. Cam switched his samurai suit to speed mode, got up, then raced towards the beam. As Dragonox was about to stop the Green Ranger, he was knocked down by a Laser Knee from the Wolf Ranger. The Samurai managed to disarm the beam in a matter of 8 seconds, with only 3 more seconds to spare. The Lava Lizards howled in fury, Dragonox punched the ground in frustration. “How will we revive Moltor?”- Cried one of the Lizards- “Who will lead the Lava Lizards?” Upon hearing those words, Dragonox rose. Triumphant, he said- “Lizards! Moltor was the past. But I, I am your future!” Dragonox waited for the clamor and applause that new leaders always receive. He never got them. “Blasphemer!-yelled the Lizards- Lava Lizards follow only the strongest. Moltor has proven to be the strongest warrior in Lizard History. He was never even defeated by the Rangers! If he resides amongst the dead now, it is because he was BETRAYED by his own brother!” The Lizards, in fury, launched themselves against Dragonox. Cam and RJ, however, had to get away from the Island, because THAT volcano was going to erupt. Dragonox was destroyed.

At the Wind Ninja dojo, Cam and RJ were celebrating their victory over a cup of sake. ‘By the way, Cam. How did you disarm that laser?” Cam sat his cup down. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a crystal “I simply took out the power source.” In Cam’s hand was a glowing green Crystal.



The End.

Episode 2: Killer Bomb under a Sea so Blue. (edited for rangerboard)

Max Cooper was sun bathing in the beautiful Playa de los Flamingos in Culebra, Puerto Rico. It was a nice, warm January morning. He had no way of knowing that, just a few miles off the coast of this island Paradise, an evil mind was forming a dastardly plot…

Chad Lee, licensed oceanographer, lifeguard and Blue Ranger for Operation Light speed, was listening to Admiral Weiling’s briefing in the SSS Maryland. “Mr. Lee, this is your mission. Off the coast of Culebra, at the Bottom of the Vieques Trench, lies an old German Sub from the great World War 1. Its presence is generating ferrum oxide, also known as rust, which is killing off the wildlife around the area. Please use your Ranger powers and get rid of the sub.” Though Chad Lee wondered why he needed his Ranger Powers, he was pleased none the less to do this mission. Sea life was his passion, after all.

Chad Lee picked up his morpher. “Light speed, Rescue!” In but an instant, he was donning his Blue Ranger uniform. He dived underwater. Moments later, Chad’s eyes widened in horror as he saw the SSS Maryland sink right before his eyes.

Max Cooper was trying to order a drink from the local bar. “Er, hey bro, how do you say ‘one soda, please?’ in Spanish?” “Perdone, joven. No hablo ingles.” Max was a little frustrated. Suddenly, he heard a scream, the several. Right there, on the beach, were several fish people. Max knew what this meant. “Time to suit up. Wild Access!” The Blue Wild Force Ranger stood in front of the fish men. They walked on two legs, like regular people. They also possessed arms, with finned hands at the end. Everything else about them looked like a barracuda.

Max punched and kicked a few of them. Truth be told, they were lousy fighters. Immediately, they fled back to the sea. Max, however, had a gut feeling that he had BETTER follow them. He swam onto the sea, its waters getting colder and colder the further he got from the shore. Something caught his eye. A fellow Ranger, a BLUE ranger, floating in the water. Max went up to him. It was Chad. “Hey buddy, you okay?” Chad woke up. “Erm, I was ambushed… by these, ohhh… tuna folk. Where they mermen?” Chad was a little disoriented. Luckily, Max found a sand bar where he could take the guy to rest. He stayed with him until evening, which is when he got better. ‘They weren’t tuna folk, and they certainly weren’t mermen. They had the body features of walking barracudas. I’ve never seen anything like them. They are quite the fighters, too.” ‘What do you mean? I kicked their buts no problem!” “On land, I presume? No, I had the misfortune of fighting them in the water. They sunk a battleship in minutes.” “How do you know?” “Because I’m the only survivor.”

Max saw the fins that seemed to be getting closer to the sand bar. There were eight of them. He pointed Chad Lee to them, whose eyes widened with horror. “It’s them!” “Back to Action!” Chad and Max immediately re-morphed, preparing to fight the fishy menace. The fish men rose from the sea, jumped over the water, and launched themselves towards the duo. Chad managed to hold four of them off, while Max managed three. The last one managed to bite his arm. “Ah!”- Max cried in pain. Chad took his blaster, and shot the fish mutant with a laser. On the horizon, a fin rose from the water. Then two. Four fins, eight fins, 90 fins, soon, over a thousand fins were showing in the water. Then, a mini sub rose, leading the army of fins. Riding this mini sub was a human wearing an old style scuba suit. It was copper colored, with an old style scuba helmet, and some weird box with man knobs and lights of many colors. Whoever was inside that suit, he was exuding an air of authority. “You two, you are Power Rangers.” Max stood his ground, and said- “Yeah, and you?” “Names, can there be a greater curse than what’s in a name? If you need to call me anything, call me Devil Diver” His voice was almost mechanical, like Darth Vader. Chad approached Devil Diver-“What manner of creature are these?” “They are called Rogons, a race that evolved from fish several million years ago. They have since waged war against their bitter enemies, the mermaids. They and I have made a bit of a pact: They serve me, I help in their cause.” Chad gulped, guessing what the ‘cause’ was. Max just had to ask “What cause are you talking about?” “Complete mermaid genocide, of course. I plan on doing that with a special torpedo, locked within an old sub hidden away in the Vieques trench, which, coincidently, is just a short swim away” He gave a chuckle, then said his goodbyes. Max and Chad, blinded by youth and anger, respectively, dived right into the water. Big mistake.

The two were swarmed by over a thousand Rogons. True to Chad’s word, they were quite the force while under water. With all their might, the two fought back. They fended off over two hundred or so, before completely running out of stamina. Surrounded by about 800 Rogons, the duo knew they had seen their last sunrise. The Rogons where about to launch the coup de grace when suddenly, from out of nowhere, a blue Dolphin Zord came to their rescue! That Zord was piloted by the Beauty of the Beach, Tori Hanson! “Hey guys! What’s going on? Weird fish men are attacking the waters around here! Three ships have sunk already!” Max looked up, and said- ‘What are YOU doing here, other than saving our hides?” “Some guy named Mitchell called up this Red Ranger, Carter Grayson, and he called up some rangers to help out with this situation. I was one of them. These guys have been—Holy cow!” A few hundred Rogons had begun to attack her Zord. They were putting up a decent fight, too. Chad said “Max, she can take care of herself, we need to stop Devil Diver!” Max and Chad dove further down the Trench. At the bottom stood Devil Diver, torpedo at hand.

He launched the torpedo towards the Blue Dolphin Zord. A loud clang, and then… nothing. “As soon as I found that hole, I knew. This submarine was not exuding rust. It was the explosive chemicals that made that torpedo so powerful. Pity, really. Though, I guess an atom bomb would still do a pretty good job.” He rode away on his submarine, taking the Rogons with him. In but a minute, Tori descended with her Zord, to pick up the two exhausted rangers.

At a hospital in the town of Isabel II, in Vieques, Puerto Rico, the two blue rangers rested. They had over exerted themselves in that last battle. Max was a little peeved that this happened on his vacation. But, Chad had larger concerns on his mind. His girlfriend, Marina, was in danger from a madman wearing a diving suit…

Episode 3: Trapped. (Exclusively for Rangerboard. Dedicated to tv1boy)
As Cole awoke from his induced slumber, he immediately realized he was not alone. Chip Thorne and Justin Stewart were right there on the floor as well. But, he had no idea where he was. He looked around, and it became clear that he was in some old, abandoned basement. He came to that conclusion upon noticing the fact that no windows were present.

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the intercom. “Hello rangers. Wake up. It’s time for an experiment.”- said the voice. “I would like to see what you can do as a team, of course.” That was when Justin and Chip finally awoke. “Look, here are the rules. The experiment will be considered a failure if you manage to defeat my little pet, here. If my experiment fails, you will be free to leave.” One of the walls suddenly opened. In walked a giant, hulking dinosaurian. It had the head of a T-Rex, the horns of a bull, and a large, muscular yet scaly body. It also had a dinosaur’s tail. “Meet my little pet: Dino-Taurus. Can you defeat him?”

Cole stood up, as did Chip and Justin. “We have no choice, let’s do it guys!”- Said Cole- “Wild Access!!” He morphs into the Red Wild Force Ranger; Justin lifted his Turbo Morpher, and said: “Shift into Turbo!!” He then became the Blue Turbo Ranger. And finally, Chip held his Mystic Morpher, and said “Magical Source, Mystic Force!!” And he became the Yellow Mystic Ranger.

The trio of Rangers charged at Dino-Taurus, but the monster easily repelled them. With a swift swipe of its muscular arm, he swatted the Yellow Ranger away. One punch from his hulking fist was enough to cause a small indent on the ground, with the Red Ranger in the center of it. Its scaly skin was so powerful; it was deflecting the Blue Ranger’s laser blasts with ease.

Dino-Taurus punched the Yellow Ranger right in the stomach, and sent him flying into the wall. The crash nearly caused a whole. The Blue Ranger was kicked in the head, a kick that nearly shattered his helmet. The Red Ranger was trying his hardest just to get up, but that punch REALLY took the energy out of him. Dino-Taurus then picked up the Red Ranger and used his body as a melee weapon, striking down the Blue Ranger, hitting him with the Red Ranger’s body, treating said Red Ranger like a rag doll.

The Yellow Ranger had recovered from the attack, and stood up from the ground. Desperate times called for desperate measures. He took his Magi-Staff, and transformed into the Garuda Titan. The giant Zord like creature stroke Dino-Taurus with one of its wings, sending flying across the room. The impact it made created a large hole in the wall. The Yellow Garuda then swats him again with its wing, only this time, he sent the creature to the ground. A kick sent it flying in the air, where the Garuda grabbed it with its beak.

The Garuda began to furiously chomp on Dino-Taurus, breaking its ribs in the process. However, the creature managed to use its arms to hold the beak, preventing any further attacks. However, the Garuda simply began to shake its head furiously, shaking Dino-Taurus loose. Dino-Taurus then fell to the floor, a 50 foot drop. The Garuda then began to stomp on the creature furiously.

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. This went on, until the creature was nothing more than a puddle of blood. Chip then demorphed, and collapsed on the ground. He was shaking uncontrollably. “What have I done…?”- He asked himself. Cole limped toward Chip, whilst Justin tried to stand up. Cole then said- ‘Whoever you are, your creature is DEAD! YOU LOST!!!!!” Then the voice said- “Hehehehe, even in defeat, my experiment was a success. You may go now. May this experience haunt your dreams for years to come…”

At an undisclosed laboratory, Dr. Dyne Oh turned off his intercom. Seeing the Rangers get beat up so badly by his creation brought a smile to his face. He reached for the phone. “Captain? The experiment was a failure. No, it did NOT kill the Rangers. No sir, I doubt this little bump will endanger the Project…”

Episode 4: Johnny Nitro

Kira Ford was at her album signing in the city of Silver Hills, California. The crowd was not TOO big, but it was filled with rather enthusiastic fans. Vida Rocca was serving as DJ for the event. Famed racecar driver Veronica ‘Ronny’ Robinson was also in queue for an autograph. Right in front of her was a young man…

It was almost time for Ronny to get her autograph. She had purchased Kira’s album as soon as it came out, as she had promised to do when she helped the Overdrive Rangers take down Thrax a few years ago. She loved every song. It was almost her turn. ‘Next”- called out Kira. The young man stepped forward. “Hey there, sweet thing. I want you to be my bride”- The young man n front of Ronny said. Kira had gotten a little nervous; she knew these types of people. She called out her bodyguard, who was standing beside her. But the young man quickly pulled out two devices from his pockets. One was a paralyzer, which he used to stun Kira. The other was a flash gun, with enough power to emanate a blinding light large enough to fill a whole room. While everyone else was blinded, he took the paralyzed Kira, and ran to his F-1 car.

Vida Rocca had to use one of her spells to restore her eyesight. She caught a glimpse of the young man, and saw him get away in his F-1 car. Before she could morph, she saw Ronny stagger out the door, still blinded, but ready to fight the jerk that took Kira. She also restored her eyesight with her magic. “Look Ronny, that guy took Kira in a Formula One. He’s fast, were going to have to work fast to catch up to him.” ‘Fast? Hah! That guy doesn’t know what ‘fast’ is!” Vida morphed into the Pink Mystic Ranger, while Ronny morphed into the Yellow Overdrive ranger. Vida summoned her Mystic Flyer, and took off. Ronny used her Tracker to summon a new bike she had built recently (with some help from Rose), the Lovely Racer. It looked like a regular Harley-Davison, but was colored yellow and pink. This bike was also rather fast.

The guy had managed to reach Collins Super Speedway, the only highway in America (the continent) to NOT include a Speed Limit. It was a Drive to your hearts delight roadway, and that guy was using it to escape as fast as he could. No one could catch p to him now, or at least, that was what he thought. Overhead, the Pink Mystic Ranger was catching up to him. Not far behind, Overdrive Yellow was catching up to the cook. The chase was on.

The Formula One tore through the Super Speedway. It burned rubber, like no other car before it. Vida could barely keep up, but she kept going. Ronny had long deduced that what she was chasing was NOT a real F-1. This one was special. However, that didn’t mean that she was having trouble keeping up. The Lovely Racer was fast, as fast as ANY racecar. She was, most likely, the only girl on the planet that could handle a bike like that. The guy just kept going, until something far ahead caught his eye. The road had been barricaded by a squad of Silver Guardians. He slammed his breaks, stopping just a few feet from the Guardians. His smile never faded.

“Give it up, Nitro! You’re surrounded”-cried the squad leader. Johnny Nitro, super fast thief, kidnapper and weapon master for hire, stepped out of his vehicle. Ronny and Vida, still in Ranger gear, were preparing to fight if necessary. Johnny was smiling confidently. “Who wants to see my latest pretty?”- He said with his Australian accent. Hitting a button on his wristwatch, the F-1 car suddenly began to shake. Parts of it began to come off, and attach themselves onto Johnny. He was soon decked out in a new set of armor, partially resembling a race car. “I call it ‘Turbo Armor’!”

Some Silver Guardians fired a few lasers at him, but his armor held them off. He took his own built-in blaster, fired a single shell, and knocked those guys out. Ronny had taken out her Drive claws, and began slashing away at the kidnapper, but his armor proved too strong. He threw a few punches, and sent the girl flying. A magic tornado from Vida proved ineffective as well, as his armor simply was too fast for the tornado to hit. Meanwhile, Kira was starting to recover…

Ronny came back, and with Vida, devised a strategy to beat Nitro and his Turbo Armor. Vida turned herself into a cannon, while Ronny climbed into it. Johnny was amused; he knew what they were going to do. Vida shot Ronny, aiming at Johnny. But, he simply dodged at the right moment. It seemed hopeless.

“Dino Thunder, Power Up!” The morphing call surprised Johnny. He turned to see that Kira was up and about, fully suited up and ready for combat. “Now, now, my little bunny didn’t have to dress up for me.”-he taunted her. Kira ran toward him, Ptera Grips in hand. She slashed him-“That’s for nabbing me.” She slashed him again- “And THAT one’s for calling me your ‘little bunny’!” In the time Johnny was distracted, Ronny and Vida prepared the cannon a second time. Vida shot Ronny, again. This time, Johnny didn’t dodge. He received the full hit.

His armor came apart. He was defenseless. The Silver Guardians quickly arrested Nitro. Kira was fine, and the three girls high fived each other over a job well done. Ronny then asked for that autograph. “Okay, got a pen?” Ronny’s face ell, she didn’t have a pen at that moment.

In jail, Johnny was doodling on a piece of paper. The guard passed by him, and took a second to look at the doodle. Seeing nothing wrong, he carried on. Johnny, after making sure the guard was gone, folded the paper in a peculiar way, and smiled. His new armor blueprint was coming along well…

Episode 5: Twisted Sisters

Queen Bansheera was being horrendously tortured by her own ex-subjects at the bottom of Gehenna. This happened every day. What made this day so unique was the fact that the demons that formally inhabited Mariner Bay had been approached by someone: Mesogog. “We have some business together”- he said. Diabolico, the ringleader of the demons, approached the dinosaur man “And that would be..?” Mesogog answered “Specifically, My business is with Vypra.” The female demon stopped what she had been doing (the author refuses to so much as hint at this activity, for it is borderline Agony in Pink), and listened to what Mesogog had to say. “I have a plan, and it involves you.”

Somewhere in San Angeles, a motley crew of Lava Lizards had been tinkering with some magic. “This time, we will bring back Moltor. It’s too dangerous to try to get back our last crystal, but luckily, we had a spare.” A pentacle had been drawn on the ground with the powders of several blessed stones. In the middle of the Pentacle stood a Pink crystal. The sound of the flute was accompanied by the chants spoken by the Lizards. “By the stars that burn red, by the Moon that shines in darkness, in the name of the Lizard God Kukulkan, may the warrior Moltor rise from death and walk amongst us once more!” Thunder roared across the skies, and a bolt of lightning crashed onto the ground, right into the middle of the pentacle. A hole had been opened on the ground, a portal to the Abyss. From that Abyss rose a proud, formidable, but nonetheless evil entity.

The Lizards stood in shock. “Who is she!? She is not Moltor!” Vypra stood there, holding the Pink crystal that had just been used to bring her back from the dead. ‘Moltor? That red guy I saw back there? I’m sorry; he’s a little tied up at the moment.” She laughs, while the Lizards hiss. ‘Get her, she has our crystal!” They lunge at her, but she jumps up, and flies away. “Damn, that was our last crystal!”

Vypra flew but a short distance, when she suddenly noticed the crystal was emitting a glow. She flew down, and landed so she may inspect the crystal. It shot a pink light, and it seemed to be pointing into the forest. She followed the light, and it took her to a small meadow. The light pointed toward the ground, and in that spot was a small necklace. Vypra picked up the necklace, and then the crystal started to vibrate. The crystal unleashed a strong light, and the necklace shattered. There, in front of Vypra, stood a kunoichi. A sexy kunoichi by name of… “Miratrix, name’s Miratrix” said the girl ninja. She extended her hand, and then took it back when she noticed Vypra did not shake her hand. “Why where you in that..?” Miratrix developed an angry look “That bastard Kamdor used me, and then locked me up in that necklace once he saw I was no longer useful to him! After all I did for him.. I’m through with men!!!” Vypra nodded her head. She thought “I’m going to like this chick, she has attitude.”

Sydney Drew was worried. She had gone back in time to catch a dangerous thief. Two things are now working against her: First, the wormhole she had used had closed prematurely because of some freak lightning. Second, the perp got away. She found this guy, William Aston, to help her find the guy. But, considering his personality, she doubted whether he would be of help at all. Will was a Power Ranger as well, the Black Ranger of Operation Overdrive. She was the Space Patrol Delta Ranger #5: Pink. They had both noticed a strong, pink light coming from a nearby clearing, and had gone to check it out.

Miratrix had finally gotten an eyeful of the demon that had liberated her, and she was rather impressed by what she saw. She asked her: “What are your plans?” Vypra responded: “This guy, Mesogog, helped me escape Hades. He said he wanted me to collect these ‘Six Crystals of Gaia’ and use them to open the Gateway to the Abyss, freeing all the evil beings that are being holed up in there.” “Why?” “Probably ripping off the idea this old windbag, Lothor, had, only in much larger scale.” “Gonna go through with it?” “No pun intended but, Hell no. I’m sick of being a sidekick, and an errand girl. I want to be the Big Shot now! I saw what this crystal can do, and it can do more than what that old fossil said it could. Way I figured, if I collect the other five, I can have a HUGE amount of power!”

Syd and Will had heard enough. They were NOT about to let a pair of crazy (but, in Will’s words, ‘hot’) chicks make a mess on the planet. They jumped onto the scene morphed and ready for battle. The pair of evil girls stood back. Vypra was clenching her teeth, she was NOT about to let her ambitions be snuffed out by a pair of rangers. Miratrix, sensing her new friend’s unease, nudged her at her side. She gave Vypra a (flirtatious?) wink, and used her ninja magic on a hedgehog that had been sleeping under a log nearby. The hedgehog had been morphed into the Spinehog, an evil monster. Spinehog was a bipedal hedgehog, with extra large, pointy spines. His hands were shaped like punching gloves, but they were really short. He was colored gray. “Hey rangers- said Miratrix- have fun with THIS critter.” The two had then escaped, leaving the two rangers with the monster.

Spinehog rushed towards the rangers. He prepared a fist, and then shot an energy fist at Sydney. She dodged, but was hit by the force that the energy fist gathered around it. Will prepared his Drive Slammer, but soon found it was no match for the spiny monster. Spinehog then curled into a spiny ball, and rolled towards Will. He jumped out of the way, dodging what could have been a painful attack. But, Spinehog rolled back towards Will, and he would have been hurt, had Sydney not blasted the monster with her Deltamax Striker. Spinehog had fallen on his back, and could not get up, for his spines had nailed him to the ground. Will took the opportunity, and slammed his Slammer on the monster’s belly, destroying it.

“We beat the monster, but we lost those two girls” said Syd. Will had a smug look on his face, and said “I know one of those girls. The ninja girl is named Miratrix. She’s hot, but she’s also evil. Don’t worry, she’s like a roach, she’ll be back. How about you, princess, you coming back around here any time soon?” Syd had a disgusted look on her face. She had read on the historical databanks that the Overdrive Black Ranger was a flirt. Now she saw that THAT was the understatement of the century.

Miratrix and Vypra were busy admiring the crystal. Miratrix then said- “That plan you have, it sounds good to me. I want in.” “As my sidekick?” “No, as your partner, your EQUAL partner.” “Well, in what way will you contribute to the plan, partner?” “I think I know of a piece of technology that will make this quest a whole lot easier.” The two shook hands. The alliance had been formed.

At Gehenna, Mesogog was looking pleased…

Next episode: Nick Russell, Red Mystic Ranger, has had his soul sucked out by an evil succubus! Can an alliance between Madison Rocca, Blue Mystic Ranger (his girlfriend) and Lily Chillman, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger, save him? Can Madison pull through this mission AND control her jealousy at the same time? Tune in to the next episode to find out!

Episode 6: In your dreams… (especially edited for rangerboard)

Nick Russell was organizing some boxes at the Rock Porium. He was so tired, he decided to simply lie down and close his eyes for a while. He fell asleep almost immediately.

A very attractive woman had entered the Rock Porium. This woman was wearing a rather large overcoat, which was strange, considering the warm weather outside. Madison Rocca, the only employee present at the store, was so busy that she had not noticed her. The woman was eyeing the storage room, where Nick lay asleep. Quietly, she had entered…

Madison was exhausted. She had been working hard ALL day. Xander, manager of the Rock Porium, had called in sick that day. Vida was at Ocean Bluff, serving as a DJ to some night club, and Chip was in the Mystic Woods training as a knight. Thank God Nick was there. “Oh right, it’s been over an hour that Nick had gone off to the storage room. I should go get him”-thought Madison. Lilly Chillman, a girl who had been browsing some cd’s for over an hour, got a sickening feeling in her stomach. Her cheetah spirit was sensing an evil in the air.

What Madison saw in the storage room made her eyes burn, her hands tremble, and her throat dry. There, on the floor, some blonde woman was giving Nick, HER Nick, a heavy kiss. She stood there, for but a second, and then, she led out a ferocious yell. This startled the woman, who then began to run off. Madison tried to grab her, but she was too fast. Knowing that, when your partner is caught cheating on you, you go after HIM and not the ‘other’; Madison STORMED to where Nick was still laying. She was going to SMACK the daylights out of him. She grabs him, and is suddenly enveloped in light. Clare the Sorceress had teleported them to Rootcore, their old base of operations from their Ranger days.

Clare had to use a binding spell to keep Madison from throttling the life out of Nick. Feeling helpless, hurt and betrayed, Madison resigned herself to falling on her knees, crying because of her broken heart. Clare, however, knew that there was no time for that. She slapped Madison across the face “Get a hold of yourself! Look, Briarwood is under attack from the forces of evil! You need to suit up!” “(Sniff) Send that piece of crap, two timing 'Light', over there!!!!” “Look, I don’t like what he did, but there is no one else that can do this!” “Fine, I’ll go.” Clare then used the teleportation spell to send the two to Briarwood. During the quarrel, neither girl noticed that Nick had simply neither moved nor made a sound, in fact, he just lay there…

Madison was so mad at Nick, she simply morphed, not bothering to so much as stay by his side. She rushed toward battle. There, in the middle of the town square, stood a yellow Ranger. To be more precise, it was the Jungle Fury Cheetah Ranger. Madison simply stood there; her emotions were starting to dominate her. She had been left alone all day, managing the store all by herself. She caught her boyfriend smooching some whore in the storage room, while he was supposed to be helping her. She had been called to Ranger duty, only to find there WAS no evil to fight, that it had been taken care of. She felt betrayed by everything, everyone. She felt angry at Xander, because she suspected that he was only faking sick. She was mad at Chip, for pursuing some idiotic goal instead of giving her a hand at work. She felt mad at her own sister, Vida, for leaving her alone in Briarwood. She felt angry at Clare, for making her waste her time like this. She felt FURIOUS at Nick, for betraying her like that. But, most of all, she felt nothing but utter hatred at that -ITCH who tried to steal her man. She could not take it anymore. She powered down, fell to her knees, and cried. Lilly, who had just defeated some zombie creatures that had been attacking the city, rushed to her aid. She could not stand to see another girl cry.

Suddenly, Madison’s Mystic morpher chimed. “Madison!’- It was Clare- “Nick’s in trouble! You have to help him!” Madison’s sorrow had turned to rage at that moment “He can go F--K himself! I don’t give a D--N about that two timer anymore!!!!” Lilly had overheard. She had guessed that this Nick guy had cheated on this girl. She secretly applauded Madison for her choice of words. “Madison, his life is in danger! If you don’t help him, he’ll die! Hi life force is being sucked away by some evil being!” Madison felt a wave of fear sweep her body. Die? Nick? All her anger had, for the moment, stepped aside, being replaced with concern over him. She rushed towards where he was. ‘Where are you going?” asked Lilly. “That jerk broke my heart, miss. I want to beat him up, I want to make him cry, and I want to make him suffer. But, I don’t want him dead!”- said Madie in tears. The two had arrived to the spot where Nick was. It was the same spot that Clare had teleported both Nick and Madison to deal with the zombie creatures just moments ago, meaning he had not moved from the spot. And there he was, getting some face suck from some woman. It was the same woman from before. It took but a moment for Madison to realize that. All her anger had returned, and had increased a thousand fold at the mere sight of THAT woman. She morphed. She blasted the woman with a powerful water spell. Lilly stood there, shocked at what she had just witnessed. The Blue Mystic Ranger had just abused her powers, using them for personal gain, for vengeance. She had just violated a Ranger rule, or maybe two. The woman lay there, chuckling. She took off her coat, revealing that she was wearing a black leotard. On her head, she suddenly grew horns. Leather wings sprouted from her back, and a demon tail grew from her backside. Her mouth had a glowing white liquid, which she promptly spat out. That liquid then transformed into a white bat.

“Hmmm, that felt so good on my body”- she said while doing a little stretch- “Hello, my name is Morrigan. I am a succubus.” Lilly then said “You! You’re the woman who summoned those zombies back there!” "I had to do it. I had come here to suck the soul away from that young man over there”- Morrigan points at Nick-“ we succubae remove the souls of men through our lips, our kisses. We then transform the souls into these.’ Morrigan had then become surrounded by many lack bats. They all had an eager look on their faces. “Now, this young man, as you can tell, produced a bat of a different color than the ones you see around me. That means that his soul was special. But, before I go into more detail, allow me to show you what I can do with these bats.” With a wave of her hand, five bats landed on the floor. Then, they grew, becoming a new breed of foot soldiers, Batloids. Batloids had completely black humanoid bodies, no armor or clothing, small bat wings on their backs, bat ears, and glowing red eyes. “I can also do this.” Two more bats had landed on the floor. They then began to merge together. The two, together, had created a new being. A zombie like creature, with two heads. One head had shaggy hair, while the other was bald. “I shall call this little beauty ‘Two Head’. Now, I can’t even imagine what THIS little guy can produce.” But Madison had enough. She had cast a powerful spell, which had knocked Morrigan down. "Shut.The.Heck.Up”-said Madison, seething with anger. Morrigan simply smiled. “Two Head, Batloids, take care of the Yellow Ranger. Blue here is mine” Two Head rushed to attack Lilly, while the Batloids surrounded her. But, Lilly had her Bo staff ready for action. ‘Guys, stand down. I’m a pro with the Bo” They didn’t listen to her. Two Head launched a punch, but Lilly simply stepped aside. Two Head wound up punching a Batloid, and he then received a strike from the Bo staff, which hurt him. Two Batloids tried to jump kick Lilly, but she ducked, so the two kicked each other instead. The last two Batloids didn’t even put up a fight. However, Two Head was ready for Round Two.

Morrigan was gleefully beating up Madison. “Don’t get cocky. Two sucker punches don’t mean you stand a chance against me.” She clawed the Blue Ranger. She punched her, kicked her, picked her up and slammed her through the ground. Pining against the wall, the succubus whispered onto Madison: “Just so you know, while they are in bat form, the souls of these men are dreaming. But they only have one dream: They make love to me, infinitely. That is all they think about, how my body must feel, my kisses, my touch. It’s how I control them. Even your little boyfriend now dreams of me. How does it feel?” Madison was stunned. Her rage was now beyond all control. She kneed Morrigan right in the stomach. She punched her face, kicked her sides. She turned Legend mode so she could smack her around with her Legend Staff. She then demorped, so she could grab her hair, scratch her face, and spit in her eyes. Morrigan was about to retaliate, when she saw that Lilly had defeated Two Head. Morrigan was outnumbered. She decided to retreat. She teleported to parts unknown.

All the bats had disappeared. Al but one. A small white bat had stayed behind. Latching itself unto Madison, she felt a strange familiarity with the bat. She then knew, this bat had Nick’s soul in it. She took the bat to his body. The bat then disappeared, and Nick was starting to awaken. Madison had a few stern words to share with him. She was still a little peeved about what Morrigan had said. Nick then awoke, and kissed Madison on the lips. With a sly look on his face, he told her: “Hey sexy, that was great. Ready for Round Two?” Lilly, who had observed the scene, was bewildered at what he meant by that. Madison, however, somehow knew. And her face grew as red as a tomato.

“That soul was not dreaming of you, Morrigan. It was dreaming of another. There was no way you could have controlled that soul.”- Said a dark figure in the shadows. Morrigan was in a dark place, an old castle located in the Underworld. The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself to be a vampire. A werewolf stood by his side. “I’m sorry, Maximov. I shall go find 100 new souls for us to use.” “No, take a rest. Today was a tiring day. Besides, we don’t need a hundred souls for our plan, just a few outstanding ones.” The werewolf, Edgar Gawain, looked outside the window…

Episode 7: A Terror from the Deep!
Beneath the waves of the Pacific Ocean once laid a peaceful kingdom. Beneath those waves, a wise king named Neptune ruled over the Mermaids, a magical aquatic race. These half-human, half-fish creatures once lived lives of peace. Though they had enemies in the Rogons, they lived their lives with few complaints. All that ended when the Devil Diver came upon their Kingdom…

Devil Diver stood proudly in King Neptune’s Palace. He had succeeded in dominating the merfolk. He had only recently affixed his dive suit with a Neural Interruption Device, which allowed him total control over the minds of all sea creatures. “Adolph Hitler once said ‘blessed be the leaders of peoples that don’t think.’ I see now that he was absolutely right. I now lead TWO peoples that don’t think.” The Rogons were clawing away at the Mermaids, not realizing that, thanks to Devil Diver, they had become their new slaves. King Neptune swam towards Devil Diver, his willpower crushed by the might of the Diver’s N.I.D. He handed him his Trident, which held a pearl on each tip. Devil Diver looked pleased…

Hunter Bradley, head Sensei of the Thunder Ninja Academy, was busy helping an old student in her excavation. The student, a 24 year old archaeologist named Mimi Jones, had come upon some ruins that seemed rather demonic in nature. She kept her finding quiet, telling only two people: her old sensei, and her boyfriend’s boss. Her boyfriend worked for a VERY important man, one known across Mariner Bay as the leader of the finest heroes to ever grace the city, The Light Speed Rangers. Captain Mitchell knew that if Mimi had uncovered anything belonging to Bansheera that he should send the Rangers to help out. However, he only had one Ranger available at the moment: his own son. Ryan Mitchell, though he arrived a little later than he promised, was committed to protecting the city should these ruins hide something dreadful.

Three hours had passed since Ryan came to lend his services. It was determined that the ruins did NOT, in fact, belong to Bansheera. “I’m sorry to have wasted your time, guys.”- said Mimi. “Forget it, you did the right thing. If you EVER find something you think might hold an evil force, don’t forget to give me a call. Your sensei is ALWAYS willing to help his students.” Ryan agreed- “It’s better to be safe than sorry. Had this belonged to Bansheera, it most likely would have put the city in danger.” Suddenly, a light shone from the horizon. A beam of light came, and landed on the ruins. That light came from the Ocean. “Ryan, come quick! The city is being attacked by a horde of fish men, as well as mermaids!” It was Captain Mitchell. “Mermaids? But I thought that the Mermaids were FRIENDS of ours!”- said Ryan. He hurried towards the city. Sure enough, the citizens of Mariner Bay were fleeing in terror from the Rogons and the Mermaids. However, Ryan held a confidant smile. ‘What are you smiling about?”-inquired Hunter. Ryan was a little surprised; he had not noticed that he was followed. “Chad told me about these guys. He told me they suck at fighting.” He was right, the Rogons proved a lousy match. However, the Mermaids proved problematic. They used magic. They kept shooting Ryan with bursts of water conjured out of thin air. Hunter, however, proved a valuable ally when he used his thunder ninjutsu against the Mermaids.

On the shores of Lake Espejo, whose waters held the ruins discovered by Mimi, the young archeologist sat in wait of her two companions. She could not shake off the feeling that the ruins she had found held SOMETHING, something that could be used by the forces of evil. In a short while, she came face to face with Devil Diver. “Please, put your fists down. You are clearly outclassed.”-said the Diver. Mimi leaped into the air, preparing a Ninja Air Kick. However, though she hit the Diver with her full strength, he seemed rather unfazed. “That nearly felt like a fly bumping into you. Try THIS.” He took the Trident, and blasted Mimi with it. She was burned, not TOO badly though, and was left unconscious. Devil Diver approached the lake, holding the Trident high above his head (er, helmet). A beam of light shone over the lake, emanating from the Trident. The waters of the lake began to shake. Ripples in the lake were becoming waves. All the wild life from the lake began to run away in terror. From Lake Espejo arose a terrifying beast, as big as a building. “Ah, Kraken. You have been so unfairly imprisoned in this bug infested lake. Your only crime being standing against Bansheera’s rule. But now, you shall serve ME.” Kraken then let out a powerful roar. “Display your strength, destroy that human city.” Kraken was a mighty beast. It had gray, scaly skin, four arms, humanoid feet, a crocodilian tail, and a head resembling a squid’s head with two glowing yellow eyes.

Hunter and Ryan had seen the last of the Mermaid forces retreat in terror. They looked behind them, and saw what was coming toward the city. Kraken was making his way, and he seemed rather powerful. “Yo, Ryan, we are gonna need some extra large muscle.” “If you are referring to the zords, I’m afraid the Light Speed Rescue Zords are unusable.” “Glad I brought my own, then.” From the hills surrounding Mariner Bay arose the two Thunder Zords, the Crimson Beetle and the Navy Beetle. The two combined together to form the Ninja Storm Thunder Megazord. “Let’s go, we need to stop that THING before it destroys the city.” The two morphed. Ryan became the Light Speed Titanium Ranger, while Hunter became the Crimson Thunder Ranger. The two boarded the Megazord, ready to fight one hell of a battle.

Kraken wasted no time. He fired a laser beam from his eyes, damaging the Megazord. He rushed toward the Megazord, preparing a few punches. With his four fists, Kraken sent the Megazord flying off the ground, knocking it back a few good 30 feet. The ground shook from the Megazord’s landing. Kraken fired another laser from his eyes. It didn’t miss. He then took his tail, and slammed it on the Megazord 18 times. The Thunder Megazord was sparking all over, looking ready to blow up any minute. Kraken let out a roar, perhaps letting the world know that he was back and ready to bring forth untold destruction.

Ryan was knocked unconscious. Hunter could barely hang on. His Megazord was severely beaten without so much as throwing a punch. Now, it looked like he was about to lose it. Then, something snapped inside his mind. His primal survival instincts were reawakening. “(pant, pant, pant, pant) Bastard. You… bastard. You bastard. You BASTARD! YOU BASTARD!!!!” He quickly grabbed the controls, and he moved the Megazord’s arms, catching Kraken’s tail. The Megazord swung Kraken to one side, and quickly got up. It, however, was still throwing sparks every second. “DIE!!!!” Hunter grabbed the Power Spheres, unleashing the Squid and Gatling Lion and then combining them. He took that combination, and used it to penetrate Kraken’s chest. Hunter activated the drill, spilling Kraken’s green blood all over the city.

Kraken, however, had not been beaten. With his entire rigor, he grabbed the Megazord and began to punch it with his two available arms. At that moment, Ryan regained consciousness, saw the Megazord’s condition, and hurried toward Hunter. “We gotta get out of here! She’s going to blow!!!” “I… I don’t… give a sh…it.” “Moron! I ain’t leaving you behind!” Ryan forcefully grabbed Hunter, and left the Megazord. Kraken began to attempt to rip its arms out. THAT was the moment the Megazord blew up, killing Kraken in the blast.

Hunter had never felt more ashamed in his life. In the end, he was unable to defeat the monster, lost his composure in battle, lost the Megazord, and worst of all, was unable to help his student. Meanwhile, beneath the Pacific Ocean, Devil Diver felt rather pleased. “I get a powerful army, a powerful weapon, and (Holds a jar full of blood, Kraken’s blood) THIS. The Rangers, however, are down by one Megazord. I gain, they lose. Today, as always, the spoils went to the victor.” He looks at the Trident, the pearl at the Left tip begins glowing a bluish color…

Episode 8: A Castle in the Sky

Sharper City Maximum Security Prison. A Correctional Facility of the highest standard, where every prisoner is watched 24 hours a day. A prison reserved for those who pose potential serious threats to National Security, surpassed in security measures only by Guantanamo Prison. Johnny Nitro, super genius and expert in explosives, laser beams and other assorted types of advanced weaponry, was held here. He tried to kidnap Kira Ford, a celebrity. He WOULD have been sent to regular prison for the crime, but he demonstrated himself as a potential threat when he utilized his Turbo Armor as a means of defending himself against two Power Rangers. Every day, Johnny would doodle on paper. No one suspected, however, that his doodles were ACTUALLY blueprints for new ‘tech armors’. In the three weeks that he was being held there, he had completed 12 new blueprints.

Rose Ortiz sat at a table in the Café Under a Tree, a small café in Turtle Cove. She was waiting for Taylor Earnhardt, a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. “Hey, glad you could make it.”- said Rose. Taylor replied- “No problem. What do you want to talk about?” “Look at this.” Rose showed Taylor a few photographs. They were of a spec in the sky, with what appeared to be water flowing from its sides. “Hmm, this looks like… hmmm… I think your camera is broken. This is clearly a bird.” “A bird flying over 100 miles above ground? With waterfalls coming out of its wings?” Taylor did not want to tell Rose what she REALLY thought. After all, she swore to protect the Animarium. “Before you tell me what you THINK it is, take a look at these graphs.” Rose handed over a few graphs to Taylor. “What do these graphs say?” Rose said: “Those are energy readings. The thing in the photograph has been sighted flying above the skies of the Aegean Sea. The first two graphs are energy readings on normal days, days when this thing does NOT fly above the sea. However, the next two are from when this thing flew over that same sea. See the difference?” Taylor compared the graphs. The two that were from normal days were flat lined. However, the other two had lines that shot up, almost reaching the top of the paper that held the graph. “I used the same technology as my Overdrive Tracker, sans the morphing capability. Let me put to you this way: Last time we had a reading THAT big, was when we were identifying the last jewel of the Corona Aurora.” “What is it that you want with me, then?” “I want you to take me to this place, with your Eagle Zord. I have already tried reaching this place by regular aircraft, It’s impossible. There appears to be a barrier that does not allow machines to enter. However, the Wild Zords are NOT 100% mechanical. I believe they can enter this place.”

In the Maximum Security Prison, the alarm was blaring. An intruder! The guards scurried, each one was heavily armed, and ready to take down ANYONE that dared to try and break out ANY prisoner. But, they were not ready to stand against a demon and a space ninja, and were dealt with easily. Vypra, the demon, turned to her ninja partner, Miratrix, and said: “So, you say this guy can help us?” “He’s a genius. He even managed to stand up to a pair of Power Rangers. He almost beat them, too. I bet he can make what we need.” They eventually reached Johnny’s cell. Vypra said -“Hey, Johnny! We’re busting you out!” Johnny looked at the girls. He never met them before, but hey, who cares? “Whatever you say, sexy!” This made Miratrix feel a pang of jealousy.

Outside the prison, Miratrix and Vypra were making their demands heard. ‘We want you to make us a machine that can trace energy signals.” “Pfft, easy. What kind of tracker do you want?” “One that can pick up this level of energy reading.” Vypra handed over the Pink Gaia Crystal. Johnny used the tracer he always held onto, to measure the energy. It blew up instantly. “Hmm, I will need three hours to make a tracer that can scan THIS type of energy.” “You have thirty minutes.” “Well, no problem then. By the way, what will be my payment for my work? Getting a guy out of jail only buys you his time. My efforts, though, come in a separate package.” Vypra held Johnny close to her, and gave him a kiss on the lips while holding his crotch. She motioned to Miratrix (Who did NOT like seeing Vypra do that to Johnny), to come to her. She said to Miratrix “Kiss him like I did.” And she did (but with little enthusiasm). “That was a down payment. You’ll get the rest AFTER we find what we are looking for.” It was a done deal.

Rose and Taylor were hanging on to the claws of the Eagle Zord. They had to morph, because the winds at that altitude became freezing cold. A three hour flight was all it took to land on the floating island. As Rose had predicted, the Eagle Zord passed through t with ease. When she gazed upon the island, her eyes swelled with tears. It was beautiful. Grassy meadows surrounded a large hill. On that hill were many houses. On top of that hill was a marble temple, Hellenic in style. From the temple, two streams gushed to the sides, eventually flowing off the island. Even Taylor was awe struck. “Where are we? What is this place?” Rose turned back, and with a trembling voice said- “This is it. The legendary flying island of Laputa.” The sky above Laputa shone with the beauty of an aurora borealis. It was truly beautiful.

Johnny Nitro finished the Tracer in 18 minutes. It was large and round, like an antique clock, with a pair of antennae on top. “Yeah, this thing can detect ANY kind of energy reading that you want. Now, about my payment…” He started to unbutton his shirt, looking lustily at Miratrix. This sent a shiver up her spine. Vypra, however, was rather calm. She said ‘You’re not getting ANYTHING from us until this thing finds us another one of these.” She showed him the Crystal. He was not too pleased, but he understood. “Hand that over, and I’ll show you how it works.” Vypra gave him the Crystal, and he held it close to the Tracer. It began to beep. A small dot appeared on its screen. “There is another one of these things. It’s in the Aegean Sea.” I’ll take you there.” Miratrix raised her eyebrow. “Why?” “To make sure you don’t ‘skimp on the bill’”. He said it with a sly smile on his face. He went to his garage, picked up what looked like a watch, and started his airplane…
Taylor was surveying the houses on Laputa. They appeared to be made of conch shells. “What kind of people lived here?”-she asked herself. Rose had been studying the vegetation, when she noticed something. A bird had walked up to her, but not just any kind of bird. “A dodo! Taylor, look! There are dodos on the island!” Taylor hurried towards Rose. Indeed, she had been surrounded by dozens of dodos. “Hey, Rose. I checked those houses. They are not houses, they are one single building. It’s like a castle.” She looked at the sky. Taylor had never seen a more beautiful sky. But suddenly, it appeared that a hole had opened in the sky. The barrier had been breached. Within seconds, a strange type of plane had landed on the grassy land.

Johnny Nitro had stepped out of his plane, followed by Vypra and Miratrix. The Tracer was pointing them to the temple. “Heh, what are you fine ladies doing on this little island?” Rose instantly assumed a battle pose. “Taylor, I know this clown! He tried to kidnap Kira Ford! Ronny told me all about him. And that woman in blue is Miratrix, and she’s bad news! Will told me all about how she escaped.” Johnny looked rather amused. “Heh, pink and yellow, again. But THIS time, I came prepared.” He showed them his watch. It was yellow, but there was something else about it. “This is not a watch, it’s my latest invention. I been working on it during the trip to getting here. I call it an ‘Armorizer’. Think of it like a morpher.” He turned a knob, and then pushed a button. He was immediately clad in armor. This armor had plated arms, a pronounced chestplate, and a full helmet that covered the entire head. The legs were heavily plated as well. “Behold, the Guts Armor!!”

Johnny stomped on the ground. That motion crated a rather violent tremor that shook the ground, and knocked down the two Rangers. “HAHAHAHAHA!!!!”- Johnny loved seeing the Power Rangers on the ground, especially because of one of his creations. He ran towards the two Rangers. However, the armor made running difficult. Eventually, Rose and Taylor got on their feet again. Rose prepared her blaster, and shot a few rounds at Johnny. His armor absorbed most of the shots, though. He, however, was surprised by a sword slash to the back, courtesy of the Wild Force Yellow Ranger.

Meanwhile, Miratrix and Vypra were searching the castle. They were getting closer to their goal. Elsewhere, the Eagle Zord was yanking tree off the ground. The dodos of Laputa were trying to hold on to the tree to dear life. And then the Eagle Zord took off.

The Guts Armor was shooting off sparks. Johnny pressed a button, and it disappeared. He still had a cocky smile on his face. He turned his watch’s knob again, pressed the button, and was then covered in a new armor. It had a visor helmet, a black chest plate, and a pair of guns on its gauntlets. “Heh, try THIS! Scanner Armor!” He pointed his guns at Taylor and Rose, and shot a laser from them. The laser hit them, and sent them sparking off into the round. Johnny smiled, he was loving this. Suddenly, Taylor glided straight at Johnny. He prepared a second round, when his visor detected Rose coming from behind him. He immediately pointed his guns at both of them, and fired. He hit them again, but by this time the guns were smoking. They were overheating. Johnny took off the armor, and put on another one. This one was looked like it offered little protection, and instead looked like spandex. The helmet looked like a bike helmet. “This is my best armor yet. Strike Armor!”

Vypra and Miratrix had reached the temple, where they were certain the Crystal laid. At the center of the temple was a moai head. From its eyes flowed some water, like tears. It was this water that made the streams that bathed Laputa. At the mouth of the moai laid the Yellow Crystal of Gaia. They reached for it.

Taylor launched a right hook at Johnny. However, he moved so quickly that he seemed to disappear for a second. He stood behind Taylor, and delivered a hundred punch combo. The attack was so strong that, upon hitting the ground, Taylor demorphed. He then kicked Rose, and sent her flying. Within a second, he was behind her, delivering a blow to the head. This sent her hurtling through the air. She was about to hit a column, when Johnny appeared in front of her, delivering a punch to her stomach. This sent her to the ground, and she then demorphed from her lack of strength.

‘HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Give up; I kicked your cute hinnies and made ya kiss the moon! And I still got one armor left on this thing! I WON!!!” Suddenly, the ground shook violently. The sky turned blue, and the air grew cold. At the temple, Miratrix was holding the Crystal. Vypra said- “Hold on to me, this island is going to fall to the sea below.” They flew off 9Miratrix blushing slightly). Johnny saw them leave, and was NOT happy. “Either something BIG is happening here, or those girls just dined and dashed. Awww, doesn’t matter, those two probably had the bumpies on ‘em.” Suddenly, the island began to tilt a little, then a lot. Suddenly, the edge of the island was staring at the ocean. The three knew what was going to happen. Taylor managed to get on her feet, grabbing onto Rose. Johnny, however, had different ideas. “Screw this, I’m out of here. Gyro Armor!” he sported a helicopter themed armor, and flew off. But Laputa was still falling.

“Damn Rose, this is the end.” Suddenly, the Eagle Zord showed up, and carried them off to a deserted island. Laputa fell to the ocean, where it sank to the bottom of the sea. At the island, Rose was inconsolable. A treasure of the Ancient World was lost forever, before she had a chance to study it. Worst of all, those dodos probably did not survive the fall. Suddenly, Taylor called her to her, wanting to show her something. Rose’s face lit up. Apparently the Eagle Zord had carried the dodos to the same island earlier.

Miratrix and Vypra were looking at their Tracer; there were two blips on its screen. “Looks like the closest one is in California.” Said Miratrix…

Episode 9: Ablaze
Carter Grayson, Chief of the Mariner Bay Fire Department, was putting out yet another fire. The eighth one that week, to be precise. Though it had been eight days since the attack from Devil Diver, the people were still in a panic. Many were demanding that Light Speed Rescue be reinstated. However, with the Aquabase destroyed, that was next to impossible. Though each of the Rangers still ad their powers, that was not enough. The attack from Kraken was proof that Zords were needed as well, and those were HARD to make. Those facts, however, served only to shake the people into an even bigger frenzy, which caused them to begin many riots. Carter hung his head. The fire was out, but he knew more would come. Many more.

On the ruins of what had been Crazy Joe’s Discount Electronics and Furniture (torched the day before) stood an alien figure. He surveyed his surroundings, and made a dash towards the woods. He was being followed by a heavily armored figure in blue…

Carter waited for his radio to cackle. He was waiting to hear about the NEXT fire, when he saw the alien race away, right in front of him. He had a gut feeling that this guy meant trouble. He could not risk having so much as ONE fire engine off duty at this time, so he followed the alien on foot.

Ichthyor, former cadet of Space Patrol Delta, now a criminal for hire, was the alien Carter and the Blue figure were chasing. He stopped, and briefly checked his surroundings. “Where is she?”- he asked himself. “You, identify yourself!” Ichthyor turned around, and saw the Red Light Speed Ranger standing there, pointing at him with a blaster. “Fool.” Ichthyor attacked him with his specialty, the Ocean Saber. Carter fell to the ground, hard. He was soon facing Ichthyor’s blade.

A shower of laser blasts was what had saved Carter’s life. The blasts missed their target, but they proved an invaluable distraction. Carter managed to get back on his feet, ready for Round 2. But Ichthyor had other ideas, and soon ran off. He looked back, to get a better view of his savior. He was a Blue Ranger, wearing a uniform he had never seen before. The Blue Ranger demorphed, and Carter was surprised to see not a human, but a four eyed tusked alien.

“I am Beevor, Space Patrol Delta Officer, A- Squad. You were just assaulted by a Second Level Criminal, wanted in over 18 Galactic Sectors.” “Space Patrol Delta? What is that?” Beevor looked sternly at Carter, and said- “A special law enforcement body that protects the known quadrants of the Universe from the forces of evil. We are like the Police of this time.” “This time? Are you from the future?” “Yes. And I seek the one that has attacked you. Ichthyor, he is called. He has come to this time to assassinate one of our own. Her name is Sydney Drew, and she is the Pink Ranger of Space Patrol Delta.” “What is she doing here?”-asked Carter. And Beevor answered- “She had followed another criminal, who had also escaped to this time. We don’t know much more about her current status.” Something about that story set off an alarm in Carter’s mind. However, he could not risk allowing a comrade of the Spandex to be endangered, even if she was from the future.

Ichthyor was standing in the woods. He could sense the presence of the S.P.D. Pink Ranger nearby. He had previously crossed paths with her before, and he had managed to defeat her with ease. However, THIS operation required that he go a few steps further. That was what the Boss wanted…

Sydney Drew was sitting on a log. It had been many weeks since she had been stuck in the past with no way to get back to her own time. She knew that Sky and Kat had not forgotten her, but she couldn’t help feeling a little forgotten and ignored. She was, after all, a princess type of person. She had no idea she was now the target for an assassination.

“Let me help you find her”- Said Carter. “Why?”-asked Beevor. “I can’t allow a fellow Ranger to be the target of an assassination. Not when I can do something about it.” “Okay, but I lead this mission. You have to listen to ME.” “Okay.” “So, we are agreed. We work together on this.”- said Beevor. Carter nodded. He knew Mariner Bay still needed all her firemen, but he was NOT the type of guy to leave a colleague in danger. However, he couldn’t shake of the feeling that he should NOT trust this guy.

Ichthyor had finally spotted Sydney Drew. He drew his Ocean Saber. All he needed was the signal…

Beevor and Carter had raced across the forest, where they came upon a fork in the road. “You go that way, I’ll go this way. Remember, priority is capturing Ichthyor, either alive or dead.”- said Beevor. They parted. Carter had taken but a few steps, when he began to think about something. It bothered Carter that he just couldn’t trust his partner, the Blue Ranger. Why? As a fireman, he NEEDED to trust his coworkers. His life depended on it. “Why can’t I trust Beevor? After all, we’re trying to save that Pink… Wait a second!!!” It dawned on him. Beevor said that the Pink Ranger’s ‘current status was unknown’. So, it would make sense to making finding her the top priority. It would make SOME sense to prioritizing Ichthyor’s capture, so they could question him soon after on her whereabouts. But, Beevor’s orders made NO sense, whatsoever. He opted to go back, and follow Beevor.

“Wait for it, wait for it…. There it is!” Ichthyor had seen a faint flash from across the woods. He lunged toward Syd, who was caught off guard. However, her reflexes allowed her to get out of the way, and morph. However, Ichthyor gave her a triple slash combo, which sent her to the floor. A blast from the Ocean Saber demorphed her immediately. She was defenseless, too exhausted from days alone in the woods to continue. Suddenly, a few laser shots had hit Ichthyor point blank. It was Beevor.

“Gaaaargh, y..y..you!?”- Ichthyor exclaimed, lying on the floor, smoking in the chest area. “You.. to… betray me like….this.” Beevor simply looked at him, pointed his blaster at him, and fired. Ichthyor died almost immediately after the 18th shot. He then bent down, and picked up the Ocean Saber. Carter, who had been spying on Beevor for about a minute, was too shocked for words.

Beevor stepped towards Syd. “You must be surprised. S.P.D. was understaffed at the time, you see. A recent surge in crime, which had occurred shortly after you left, had taken its toll on Earth H.Q. Because B-Squad only has 3 rangers, yourself included, Sky had to mobilize all the other squads to help out. He could not get any back up, because this new crime wave was going on the entire galaxy, so Kruger could spare no one. Shame, really. So, Sky resorted to asking Cliff, Lisa and myself for a little backup. What he didn’t know, was that we were planning a little vengeance on you former rookies, for humiliating us that time. So, after I proved myself worthy of trust, he gave me the mission to find you.” Beevor is now towering over Syd, she can’t move. Carter prepares for the worst, but remains hidden. “Carson had been missing for about a week, now. He was sent to find you, but had never returned. Sky could not risk losing Delgado, so he had the rescue mission called off until he had more staff. Anyway, I took Ichthyor with me, and concocted a little revenge plot. However, he was told only HALF the plan. As you can guess, the other half was that I would frame him for the crime. And me? I, ‘in a fit of righteous anger over the death of a fellow trooper’ would have killed Ichthyor. After that, Cliff will kill Commander Tate, and Lisa will dispose of Delgado. Now, stand very still, please.”

Carter had shot the Ocean Saber off of Beevor’s hand. He was fully morphed, and ready to battle. Beevor tried to punch Carter, but he grabbed the fist and gave him a knee to the stomach. Beevor, who had unmorphed previously, held his chest in pain. Carter kept his blaster pointed at Beevor. Syd, who could now stand a little, held her morpher, and pointed at Beevor. “Beevor! For the crimes of First Degree Murder, and attempted murder of an Officer of the Law!” The morpher emitted a red X. “Guilty!” A strange light surrounded Beevor. One second later, he was held inside a 10 inch card.

Syd then fainted. She was exhausted. Carter took her to the hospital, where far too many people were being treated from injuries due to the riots. Carter could only sigh. He still had work to do, much work.
