Titanus Ranger
Chapter One
Jason jumped over the large boulder that blocked his path. The young teenager was in the process of conducting one of his lesser and severely boring ranger duties, tracking. Often during ranger battles a puttie or two would wonder off. Sometimes they would break into a house or scare a child who was playing in the privacy of his backyard. Those were rare occasions though, most of the time they would head for the protection of Angel Grove's forest. So here he was deep in the woods trekking a path he and his fellow teammates had crossed many times before, searching for the clay combatants.
Yesterday Rita had attacked the town of Angel Grove with another one of her monsters, which the rangers defeated with ease. During the battle Jason had noticed a puttie wonder off, he tried to reach it before it was out of his sight but he was busy dueling with six other ones. He was dressed in baggy black pants with a red muscle shirt, there was no reason to be morphed one puttie was not a threat.
It had not rained in four days unluckily for him so he could not find any muddy foot prints in the dirt. Jason had to wing it and follow the path set up by the park rangers, hoping he would find the assailant. And he was rewarded for his faith; he turned around as he heard the rustling of bushes. Slowly he approached the shrub making sure every foot step was silent, not even cracking twig. Pulling his hand back he trusted it into the bush, this action caused him pain and scrapes. Reward for his effort was a prized puttie. Letting go of the clay creature’s neck he let out a roar his fist descending into the creature’s chest, after five punches the being exploded, clay particles flying every wear.
"Jason, to Command Center. I have found and destroyed the puttie," Jason informed Zordon as he spoke into his wrist communicator. He waited for his response but it never came. "Zordon I destroyed the puttie....anyone there?" He tapped the device several times in frustration.
A green blur descended from the sky, Tommy. The young teen who was dressed in green was the newest member of the ranger team, and was once one of their greatest opponents.
"Hey Tom, does your communicator work? Mine is busted."
A worried look came across Tommy's face the green ranger's voice trembled as he spoke, "That’s why I have came...I don't have time to explain but we must teleport to the command center quick - before the power runs out!"
"What!?" Jason asked while pressing the teleport button that was on the communicator. At least that works, he thought while he sped through the sky in a red lighting blaze.
In a matter of second his feet landed on the blue surface of the Command Center. The Command Center was the ranger’s main and only base, here they discussed plan of action and revived advice from their mentor Zordon. The red ranger looked around in confusion; every one was here Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly. They were all hectic and frantic running all over the place, pressing buttons here and there.
“Jason, where have you been man!?” Zack asked his voice full of irritation and anger.
“What?” Jason asked for the second time. Two minutes had not passed and he was once again puzzled.
“RANGERS!” The voice of Zordon boomed through the metallic room, everything stopped and all was silent, respect was demanded from their mentor. “Panicking will not help us find a solution. Zackary calm down, Jason knows nothing of the current situation.”
“WHAT SITUATION?” Red lights flashed in his head, he was the team leader, he was the one who made sure things were safe, Zordon trusted him with the task of leading the team. The weight was on his shoulders, and he would not let it fall. If he failed the team, he failed himself.
A small robot approached the leader, clanking all the way. It’s robotic hand dramatically swayed through the air as it spoke, “Ai, yI, Ai, Yi, Titanus has escaped from the holding bay!”
Billy snorted, “Escaped isn’t even the proper word for what happened, Titanus blasted a hole in the steel barrier that will take weeks to repair!”
“Are you sure he did it on his own will?” Jason asked.
“Yes, we have the footage,” Trini told, pointing to the viewing globe. The image that appeared was horrifying. The monstrous beast that was Titanus blasted the steel wall of the holding ball with a flaming fireball. Once his escape route was ready, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.
“Why, would he do such a thing!? Titanus has helped us out in the past, why would he turn on us?” Jason pondered out loud.
“That we are not sure of, but I suspect Rita was involved. I can not imagine Titanus doing something this disastrous on his own will,” Zordon informed.
“Do we have a location on Titanus?” Jason crossed his fingers.
“The computers are running a scan,” Kimberly was standing next to a panel, chewing her finger nails, her nerves were getting to her.
“I don’t get it, Titanus is a good guy. Why is everyone so worried?”
“Jason,” Zordon’s voice seemed very tired. The rangers waited for him to speak but silence dominated the room. “Rangers, there is something I need to tell you all. It is a long story so you may want to get a little comfortable.”
“Zord…” Tommy began.
“Thomas, please hold your question till I am done with the story. Long, Long ago even before my battles with Rita had begun, there was three humanoid creatures who lived on a planet far, far away. They were young nothing more than teenagers, I was one of them, a great ninja name Nijor was another, and Titanus was the last. Our mentor was this beautiful heroin named Dulcea. She taught us many thing, magic, combat techniques, and the crafting of powers. I was most gifted in combat and magic, but Ninjor along with Titanus became masters in the art of crafting powers. Your morphers were made by Nijor, those are examples of power crafting. We had great powers, but we were young and reckless. Titanus crafted this morpher so powerful even he could not control his actions when morphed, the power controlled him.”
“Kind of like the Lord of the Rings, you know the one ring and all,” Zack interrupted.
“Yes, I suppose so. He did devastating things under the influence of the power, things I shall not speak of. It took along time but eventually Titanus was able to rid himself of the power. As time progressed the battle of good and evil took place. I led the good and Rita led the evil. In the end all of were imprisoned. Nijor is stuck in his temple, I am stuck in this tube, and Titanus was turned into a Zord.”
“I don’t understand what the point?” Kimberly asked.
“The point is that we were not able to rid the evil from Titanus, only able to make it dormant. If Titanus did these things on his own will, I fear the power has resurfaced.”
“Guys!” Trini’s shrieked.
Jason turned around and ran to Trini who stood next to the viewing globe horrified. Her hands were on her cheeks and her jaw was wide open. Tears had begun to run down her face. “What is it?” he asked. But he did not need an answer. On the viewing globe stood the most grotesque and horrendous image he had ever scene in his life. Blood was every where, human blood. Angel Grove citizen were running for their lives in the local park. Screaming and panicking. Dead children and mothers lay on the grass and playground equipment as parasites swarmed above them. Laughter could be heard among the destruction. The laughter came from a ranger, one none of them had ever witnessed. He was white with silver chest armor. A dagger he held in his hand, a dagger smeared with blood.
“Oh my God!” Zack yelled.
“Who could do such a thing?” Billy asked.
“Oh my god!” Kimberly shrieked.
“He will pay,” Jason warned as he comforted Trini, who was hysterical.
“As I feared Santusti, has returned. The Titanus Ranger is back,” Zordon whispered.
