Hey, look who it is! :eek: :eek: :eek: It's me, Zord-Crazy, finally able to get the new ep of "TEKNO" done and posted. It's a filler ep, probably one of my suckier ones since I'm a lil' bit out of practice. I hope you enjoy and please, PLEASE don't hodl it against me! I still got the VR cookies, y'know. Enjoy!
Announcer: On the next "Power Rangers: TEKNO", The Rangers attend a street fair, designed to raise funds for the schools in Angel's Bluff. Lord Strife decides to take advantage of having all the Rangers in one place and sends down a new foe for our heroes. Rock-Head, an alien who can manipulate stone and concrete like clay, wreaks havoc on the streets of Angel Bluff. Will the Ranger be able to "chisel" this new enemy to pieces or will Rock-Head "rock out" on them? Those answers and more await on the newest adventure of "Power Rangers: TEKNO", next!!
An explosion opens the theme credits. Through the smoke and fire, the logo (Power Rangers: TEKNO) appears and flashes as the theme song begins. As the songs ramps up, the Ranger shots begin. As each Ranger comes on screen, they are seen on the right third of the screen, 3/4 view or head shot of the actor (like the PR: Ninja Storm opening). The other two thirds feature an action sequence featuring the appropriate Ranger in action.At the bottom of the screen each time, we see the actor's name & character name. Eric Christian Olsen as Parker. Marla Sokoloff as Kylie. Drew Fuller as Reilly. Sarah Johnson as CD. Corey Sevier as Jeremy. Then we see an shot of Dominic Purcell (Majestros). After the good guys are cycled through, another small montage of action shots is shown (aliens attacking, Rangers fighting, etc.). Then, a screen shot of Lord Strife (played by Vernon Wells). Followed by shots of Qi Shu (Shiv), Kevin Durand (Tensor), Peter Mochrie (Alan King), and Faith Ford (Ms. Elizabeth Beemer). Credits continue with more action shots and finish with the Tekno Megazord swinging the Gigabyte Saber at the screen. As the blade strikes the screen, the logo is viewed once again as the theme song finishes.

“Block Party”
The sun shone high in the sky over the city of Angel Bluff. All was well. Well, as well as it could be with the Havoc Faction around! But none of this worried the Tekno Rangers as they followed the other students out of their respective classrooms and out into the halls of their school. The bell had rung and school was out! Reilly could hear other students making plans and settings dates up for the weekend! He stops and opens his locker, which was located right next to Parker's locker. Parker was wearing a red Chicago Bulls jersey and jean shorts & was busy stuffing books into his locker. Reilly, clad in a plain blue t-shirt and khakis, meanwhile, was adjusting his hair and failed to notice Parker talking to him. The Red Ranger tapped his friend on the shoulder.
Reilly: Huh? Wha?
Parker: I asked if you were going to the block party tonight. Geez, Rye, what's with you?
Reilly: Oh, nothing. Just wanna look good is all.
Parker was about to ask why when he saw the Pink Tekno Ranger coming down the hall. CD had her head in her headphones and her hands in an pink bunny-hug as she came towards them.
Parker: Do the right thing. Ask her out.
Reilly: Say what!?
Parker: Dude, seriously, ask her. Even if she says no, at least you tried and you can quit mooning over her like you have since 3rd Grade!
CD: Hi, guys! What's shaking?
Parker: Reilly here was just gonna tell me all about the hot chick he was gonna ask out to the party tonight. Weren't ya, buddy?
Parker flashed a dopey smile at his best friend, who could only muster a stuttering response.
Reilly: Ah...uh...I mean....yeah.
CD: Well, I'm sure with that ...."enticing" approach, she'll be putty in your hands. Anyway, I will see you guys there. I have to dash to the mall and get the new Dan the Automator disc before it closes. Yippee! See you later.
With that, CD spun and scurried out of the school. Reilly looked at Parker with an annoyed look while Parker stood there snickering.
Reilly: I hate you.
On their way out, the two were confronted by Frosty & Cool. They held up their hands and stopped the two Rangers in their tracks.
Frosty: Hold up there, kids. We gotta' talk to you.
Cool: Yeah, seems to us that the last couple of days, you two haven't been showing us very much respect.
Parker: That's funny 'cuz I DON'T recall us having to do that!
Cool gave Frosty a bemused look before grabbing Parker and holding him up against a locker. Frosty waved Reilly off.
Cool: Now that's pretty weird since it's a part of your plan. Your "health plan", that is. So, do remember that next time!
Beemer: Provided there is a next time, of course!
The four teens turned to see Ms. Beemer standing behind them, arms crossed. She waited as Frosty stepped away from Reilly and Cool let Parker down. He made a show of dusting him off and straightening his clothes. Ms. Beemer nodded for the boys to stand up tall.
Beemer: Mr. Frosstein, Mr. Kewlanski, I am sure you are both aware of the school's stance on bullying other students. And how many times have I told you to quit...picking...on these two?!
Frosty: This week or grand total?
Cool elbowed his compatriot,. Ms. Beemer coughed and they straightened up.
Beemer: So, instead of detention, which is rather full today, you two shall be doing some community service. Report to the clean-up booth at the street party tonight or I will have your parents in my office tomorrow morning!
Ms. Beemer motioned for Reilly & Parker to leave and they dashed for freedom. Getting out to the parking lot, they headed for Parker's Charger. They got in and left the school grounds. A few minutes later, Parker dropped his friend off and headed for home. He pulled into the driveway about ten minutes later, just behind his sister's Yellow VW Bug. Parker trotted into the house and dropped his bag by the door. He dashed upstairs and knocked on his sister's door. Kylie popped her head out a second later, wearing a "Spongebob" t-shirt and black pants.
Parker: Hey, where's Dad at?
Kylie: Dad has already taken off for the street party and I am just about good to go.
Parker: Cool. I just gotta soak my head and change and we can go together.
As Parker walked into his room, up on the Moon Base, Shiv was viewing the situation through a Viewing Globe in her "father's" throne room. She turned as Lord Strife entered the room.
Shiv: Father, I have news! The Tekno Rangers appear to be congregating in ONE locale tonight. A town ...party or some such. We can attack them there in force and crush them! They would not be able to Morph in front of the humans!
Strife laughed heartily. Evil, but heartily.
Strife: Excellent! I like it! Playful and yet cruel at the same time! Your mother would have been proud.
Shiv: Speaking of my mother, I was wondering if you might finally have time to help me with my studies. You haven't attacked the city in days and I was hoping....
Strife: Shiv. Shhiivvv. You know it would not help. Your mother was trained since birth and she was the last of her kind. I haven't a clue where to start and I doubt you want an inexperienced teacher, my darling.
Shiv hung her head in silent disappointment. Strife laid his hand on her shoulder.
Strife: Now, my dear, hurry along and select an appropriate monster to aid us!
A few moment slater, Shiv re-entered the throne room with a large hulking creature that appeared to living rock. It stood about 7 feet tall and was almost as wide. Large legs carried the bulky mass of the alien. Its large hands had 3 fingers and 1 thumb, while its rough-hewn feet sported three toes apiece. Two glowering yellow eyes were set in the middle of its craggy face and a large studded belt encircled its midsection.
Rock-Head: Me Rock-Head crush puny Rangers! Rrraarrggh!
Tensor entered the chamber.
Tensor: Not one for the multi-syllable words are you?
Strife: Excellent choice, my daughter! Rock-Head, the Rangers are gathering at a "street....fair" in the city. Go forth and destroy them or be ground into gravel yourself!! Hahahahahaha!
A green teleportation ray enveloped Rock-Head and sent him Earth-ward. Meanwhile, the "Help Your School" street fair was in full swing on the main strip of Angel Bluff, Saban Avenue. Parker and Kylie struggled through the crowd towards CD, Reilly, and Jeremy. The others had secured a picnic table in a rest area just off of the block party on a side street. CD was taping her feet to the music, while Jeremy and Reilly were munching on some nachoes.
Jeremy: Hey guys, glad you could make it.
Reilly: What kept you?
Kylie: Parker couldn't find anything to wear.
Parker: I wanted to look good.
The group broken out laughing. They made their way through the street, pausing to look at different business displays and to sample the various foods. A while later, they all noticed they had arrived at the Joydrop Juice Bar. Upon entering the shop, the Tekno Rangers saw the juice bar was completely packed. Behind the juice bar itself, Jerry Naylor, the owner, was mixing up several smoothies at once!
Jerry: Hey guys, it'll be a few minutes before I can get to your order!
The team waited a couple of minutes and a table became available. They sat down and awaited the waitress to take their order. Once they had their smoothies, the Tekno Rangers began talk amongst themselves.
CD: So, Reilly, where's this hot date you had all lined up?
Kylie: Yeah, what woman made your heart go all “twidder-pat”?
Reilly just nervously sipped his smoothie and tapped his foot on the floor. Parker & Jeremy got up from the table and headed for the foos-ball table.
Jeremy: Still can't bring himself to ask her out?
Parker: Nope.
The two Rangers were about to begin their game when there was a great rumbling that came from outside. Suddenly, massive stone pillars erupted from the street, sending cars and debris flying everywhere. People began to scream and run for cover. Small tremors caused dishes and glasses to fall from the tables in the juice bar. Parker ran to the window to see what was happening and he saw the alien Rockhead slowly making his way up the street. A moment later, the Ranger's communicators beeped, alerting them to an incoming message from Majestros.
Majestros: Rangers, There's a huge stone-skinned alien in the city!
Reilly: Noted. Any clue as to who this bad boy is?
Beta 5: Our computer banks say his name is Rockhead and he can manipulate stone and rock with his mind. Though it says he is very simple minded. Can you confirm?
The Rangers looked out the window and saw the stone faced alien clapping his hands like a little child as more stone columns sprang up from the ground.
CD: Yeah. We confirm that.
The Rangers rushed outside to get a better view. Most of the civilians had either taken to hiding in buildings or ran away. Standing behind an overturned city bus, the Rangers summoned their Morphers.
Parker: Ready?
Other Rangers: Ready.
All Rangers: GO, Tekno!
The group slammed their Tek Decks together. An energy retical formed underneath each Ranger and ascended over their bodies, forming into the uniforms of the Tekno Rangers! Once their helmets flashed on over their heads, the Tekno Rangers drew their Tek-Blasters. Parker took point, leading the rest through the “forest” of stone that was once the street.
Jeremy: Anyone see anything?
Kylie: Nope. Parker?
Parker: No....wait a.....Everybody down!
The Rangers all dove for cover as a huge boulder rolled through the stone pillars. Parker & Reilly got up and began to fire on the big rock. Instead of breaking up, it unfolded into Rockhead!
Rockhead: Rockhead smash puny Rangers!
Rockhead then swung his hands together with such force, the resultant shockwave sent shards of stone flying at the Tekno Rangers. Kylie summoned her T-Disc shield and thumbed a switch. The shield crackled and extended a force shield that protected the rest.
Kylie: Any thoughts?
CD: I got one.
CD summoned her T-Launcher and fired several shots at Rockhead. The first few made him jump up in the air. The other shots hurt the creature, but only slightly. The Rangers regrouped and faced Rockhead. Rockhead charged the Rangers. He swung his left arm and sent Parker & Reilly flying. A swing from his right sent the others sprawling across the ground. Jeremy was the first to rise. He helped CD and Kylie to their feet.
Jeremy: What do we do now?
Parker: I dunno!
Their Tek Deck comms crackled with Beta 5's voice.
Beta 5: Rangers, we have a plan that may work. Please hurry back to the Carrier!
With a gesture, the Tekno Rangers telported to the Command Carrier. Upon re-materializing, they removed their helmets. Majestros, in his Eltarian robes, greeted the Rangers.
Majestros: Rangers, are you okay? Anyone hurt?
Kylie: Scraped and bruised a bit.
Parker: Man, the Hulk's step-child there was tough! We could barely get any shots through that hide of his!
CD: And what was with the “stone” forest there?
Majestros: Rockhead hails from a planet that was almost ¾ stone and minerals. “Plant-life” there grew like those stone columns or like massive crystals. He is trying to re-create a small piece of that as he wrecks the city!
Majestros led the Ranger's over to the main viewing screen, which resembled a large crystal ball. Beta 5 keyed a command into the computer and a replay of the Ranger's initial meeting with Rockhead repalyed.
Majestros: See, in the Viewing Globe, how you harmed him when your shots made him jump, CD? Our scanners detected a momentary lapse in his power level when he lost contact with the ground! If we can find a way to severe that connection, then shatter the beast, the city will be saved.
The Rangers milled around as they processed this news. Reilly was the first to speak.
Reilly: Not wanting to be the cold voice of reason, but how do you think we can mange that? It's not like we have super strength.....do we?
Kylie: Not likely.
Parker: Hhmmm.... maybe if....yeah, that might work.
Jeremy: What? What?
Parker: Let me clue you in.
A few minutes later, the Rangers teleported back to Angel Bluff. Astride their Tek Cycles, they manuvered through the debris left in the wake of Rockhead's advance. As they motored up the main drag of Oliver Drive, they heard the rumblings of Rockhead's attack!
Parker: Everyone clear on what to do?
Reilly: Clear on what to do, but not clear on whether or not you're sane!
Parker: No faith! Just follow the plan and this will work.
The Rangers all nodded and split up. Reilly and CD took a side street, while Jeremy made his way back down the street. Kylie and Parker rolled towards their foe. As the rock-skinned creature came into view, Parker drew hiw Tek Blaster and fired a shot at the behemoth. Rockhead growled and tossed a car he was carrying over his shoulder. Seeing the Red & Yellow Tekno Rangers, he roared and pounded his chest. As Kylie waved him on, Rockhead folded himself into a ball and rolled off after them. The sibling Rangers raced away, just barely staying ahead of the alien. Parker activated his HUD and saw they were nearing the first check point of his plan.
Parker: Rye, CD, Jeremy, you three ready?
Reilly: Go for it, bro! We're set here!
Kylie: You sure this'll work?
Parker: May my comic collection burst into flame if it doesn't!
The two Rangers raced down the hill.As Rockhead rolled ever closer, he taunted them.
Rockhead: Hahaha, Rockhead is gonna “rock your world”, Rangers!
Parker smiled to himself as he and Kylie suddenly split off......and Rockhead rolled up a hastily constructed ramp of debris and into the air. As he sailed up into the early evening sky, the other three Tekno Rangers enacted phase 2 of their leader's plan.
Reilly: Tek Blaster, Scope Mode!
Jeremy: Tek Sniper Rifle!
CD: Tek Launcher, Full Power!
The three powerful attacks struck the monster at the same time! Pieces splittered and fell from his body as he fell to the ground. Just as he was about to hit, Parker activated his Tek Blade's special attack.
Parker: Overload Slash!
The energy beam generated by the attack cleaved the alien warrior in two. As the pieces hit the ground, they promptly exploded in a ball of flame. Lord Strife was watching the whole thing from a view screen in the Trooper Forge chamber. He readied his broadsword and plunged it into a port in the side of the Forge.
Strife: Now serving extra large portions, Rangers! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Rangers rejoiced as the last few pieces of what was once Rockhead fell. Their joy was short lived as an unsettlingly familiar bolt of energy fell on the alien's remains. Pieces of stone and rock flew together in the tornado of energy. A moment passed and as the dust cloud cleared, the Tekno Rangers saw their troubles had multiplied in size. Rockhead towered over them, his laughter reverberating down the street, threatening to sweep them away. Parker thrust his hand to the sky.
Parker: We need T-Zord power, NOW!
The overhead doors of the Zord Holding Bay of the Command Carrier opened and the massive machines rose out and headed for the Rangers! From out of the Gideon Desert came the T-Zords in a "V" formation. The Scattershot Assault Jet and the Strafe Jet flew in the air, as the Lightspeed Racer, the Afterburner Cycle, and the Nosecone Drilltank rolled over the desert. The Rangers teleported to their respective Zords.
Parker: Scattershot Assault Jet, ready to fly!
Reilly: Strafe Jet, on your wing!
Kylie: Lightspeed Racer, good to go!
Jeremy: Afterburner Cycle, all systems go!
CD: Nosecone Drilltank, revved and ready!
Parker took his red Data Crystal from his left Tek Deck and formed his control crystal.
Parker: Okay, Rangers, power up your Crystals!
All: 3, 2, 1, contact!
A computerized voice sounded from their consoles.
Voice: Techno-MegaZord sequence has been initiated!
Each T-Zord began collapsing and folding into itself. Reilly and Jeremy's Zords formed the left and right arms, as Kylie and CD's Zords became the right and left legs. Parker's Zord formed into a torso and the other T-Zords connected to it. Suddenly, the other Rangers found themselves teleported from their cockpits to a central cockpit inside the torso, next to Parker. The computer's voice sounded again as the MegaZord's head popped out of the top to complete the transformation. The MegaZord struck a battle pose as an explosion erupted behind it.
Voice: Techno-MegaZord has been activated!
Rockhead picked up a piece of what was once an office building and threw it at the Tekno MegaZord. Using the Giagbyte Sabre, Parker batted it away. Kylie entered a command into the system and the MegaZord kicked the next piece away as well. Rockhead roared and charged them. Unable to dodge in time, the Rangers were rocked around their cockpit when the alien tackled them. Rolling away and rising quickly, Reilly directed their MegaZord to slash Rockhead. Pieces fell away, but the alien boulder was still kicking!
Reilly: Let me try something! MegaZord Power-Punch!
The MegaZord's right fist glowed with electrical energy that cracked and rolled over it. The MegaZord drew back and punched the alien beast once, twice, three times in his bread-basket. Once more Reilly keyed it in and the Tekno MegaZord landed an uppercut punch that laid the monster out for a moment. Rockhead roared as he rose, but the Rangers were ready. Kylie summoned the Barrage Cannon and keyed in a command.
All Rangers: Barrage Cannon, full power!
The tip of the Cannon lit up and a ferocious energy beam flew from it and struck Rockhead. He fell with a moan and exploded once more when he hit the ground. The Rangers all cheered.
Reilly: I love this job!
Kylie: I heard that!
Parker: Beatin' on alien monsters and blowing stuff up. It don't get better than this!
A while later, after returning the Zords and reporting to Majestros, the Tekno Rangers returned to Joydrop. Parker saw that after Rockhead was dealt with, the stone “trees” had crumbled to pieces. The group saw that Jerry had closed the shop for the night to clean up.
Reilly: Man, what a night! I wonder if they're gonna organize another block party sicne this one got trashed??
Kylie: Most likely.
The Rangers continued on their way and saw Frosty and Cool sweeping up pieces of rocky debris and trash from the party. Parker and Reilly waved as they passed and laughed a little bit. Frosty was about to do something when Cool motioned that Ms. Beemer was watching them as she sipped on a smoothie. The Rangers all chuckled as they walked on, back to their private lives.
Announcer: Next time on "Power Rangers: TEKNO", Lord Strife uses his magical might to send the Tekno Rangers to the Dark Dimension!

Kylie: Yeah, what woman made your heart go all “twidder-pat”?
Reilly just nervously sipped his smoothie and tapped his foot on the floor. Parker & Jeremy got up from the table and headed for the foos-ball table.
Jeremy: Still can't bring himself to ask her out?
Parker: Nope.
The two Rangers were about to begin their game when there was a great rumbling that came from outside. Suddenly, massive stone pillars erupted from the street, sending cars and debris flying everywhere. People began to scream and run for cover. Small tremors caused dishes and glasses to fall from the tables in the juice bar. Parker ran to the window to see what was happening and he saw the alien Rockhead slowly making his way up the street. A moment later, the Ranger's communicators beeped, alerting them to an incoming message from Majestros.
Majestros: Rangers, There's a huge stone-skinned alien in the city!
Reilly: Noted. Any clue as to who this bad boy is?
Beta 5: Our computer banks say his name is Rockhead and he can manipulate stone and rock with his mind. Though it says he is very simple minded. Can you confirm?
The Rangers looked out the window and saw the stone faced alien clapping his hands like a little child as more stone columns sprang up from the ground.
CD: Yeah. We confirm that.
The Rangers rushed outside to get a better view. Most of the civilians had either taken to hiding in buildings or ran away. Standing behind an overturned city bus, the Rangers summoned their Morphers.
Parker: Ready?
Other Rangers: Ready.
All Rangers: GO, Tekno!
The group slammed their Tek Decks together. An energy retical formed underneath each Ranger and ascended over their bodies, forming into the uniforms of the Tekno Rangers! Once their helmets flashed on over their heads, the Tekno Rangers drew their Tek-Blasters. Parker took point, leading the rest through the “forest” of stone that was once the street.
Jeremy: Anyone see anything?
Kylie: Nope. Parker?
Parker: No....wait a.....Everybody down!
The Rangers all dove for cover as a huge boulder rolled through the stone pillars. Parker & Reilly got up and began to fire on the big rock. Instead of breaking up, it unfolded into Rockhead!
Rockhead: Rockhead smash puny Rangers!
Rockhead then swung his hands together with such force, the resultant shockwave sent shards of stone flying at the Tekno Rangers. Kylie summoned her T-Disc shield and thumbed a switch. The shield crackled and extended a force shield that protected the rest.
Kylie: Any thoughts?
CD: I got one.
CD summoned her T-Launcher and fired several shots at Rockhead. The first few made him jump up in the air. The other shots hurt the creature, but only slightly. The Rangers regrouped and faced Rockhead. Rockhead charged the Rangers. He swung his left arm and sent Parker & Reilly flying. A swing from his right sent the others sprawling across the ground. Jeremy was the first to rise. He helped CD and Kylie to their feet.
Jeremy: What do we do now?
Parker: I dunno!
Their Tek Deck comms crackled with Beta 5's voice.
Beta 5: Rangers, we have a plan that may work. Please hurry back to the Carrier!
With a gesture, the Tekno Rangers telported to the Command Carrier. Upon re-materializing, they removed their helmets. Majestros, in his Eltarian robes, greeted the Rangers.
Majestros: Rangers, are you okay? Anyone hurt?
Kylie: Scraped and bruised a bit.
Parker: Man, the Hulk's step-child there was tough! We could barely get any shots through that hide of his!
CD: And what was with the “stone” forest there?
Majestros: Rockhead hails from a planet that was almost ¾ stone and minerals. “Plant-life” there grew like those stone columns or like massive crystals. He is trying to re-create a small piece of that as he wrecks the city!
Majestros led the Ranger's over to the main viewing screen, which resembled a large crystal ball. Beta 5 keyed a command into the computer and a replay of the Ranger's initial meeting with Rockhead repalyed.
Majestros: See, in the Viewing Globe, how you harmed him when your shots made him jump, CD? Our scanners detected a momentary lapse in his power level when he lost contact with the ground! If we can find a way to severe that connection, then shatter the beast, the city will be saved.
The Rangers milled around as they processed this news. Reilly was the first to speak.
Reilly: Not wanting to be the cold voice of reason, but how do you think we can mange that? It's not like we have super strength.....do we?
Kylie: Not likely.
Parker: Hhmmm.... maybe if....yeah, that might work.
Jeremy: What? What?
Parker: Let me clue you in.
A few minutes later, the Rangers teleported back to Angel Bluff. Astride their Tek Cycles, they manuvered through the debris left in the wake of Rockhead's advance. As they motored up the main drag of Oliver Drive, they heard the rumblings of Rockhead's attack!
Parker: Everyone clear on what to do?
Reilly: Clear on what to do, but not clear on whether or not you're sane!
Parker: No faith! Just follow the plan and this will work.
The Rangers all nodded and split up. Reilly and CD took a side street, while Jeremy made his way back down the street. Kylie and Parker rolled towards their foe. As the rock-skinned creature came into view, Parker drew hiw Tek Blaster and fired a shot at the behemoth. Rockhead growled and tossed a car he was carrying over his shoulder. Seeing the Red & Yellow Tekno Rangers, he roared and pounded his chest. As Kylie waved him on, Rockhead folded himself into a ball and rolled off after them. The sibling Rangers raced away, just barely staying ahead of the alien. Parker activated his HUD and saw they were nearing the first check point of his plan.
Parker: Rye, CD, Jeremy, you three ready?
Reilly: Go for it, bro! We're set here!
Kylie: You sure this'll work?
Parker: May my comic collection burst into flame if it doesn't!
The two Rangers raced down the hill.As Rockhead rolled ever closer, he taunted them.
Rockhead: Hahaha, Rockhead is gonna “rock your world”, Rangers!
Parker smiled to himself as he and Kylie suddenly split off......and Rockhead rolled up a hastily constructed ramp of debris and into the air. As he sailed up into the early evening sky, the other three Tekno Rangers enacted phase 2 of their leader's plan.
Reilly: Tek Blaster, Scope Mode!
Jeremy: Tek Sniper Rifle!
CD: Tek Launcher, Full Power!
The three powerful attacks struck the monster at the same time! Pieces splittered and fell from his body as he fell to the ground. Just as he was about to hit, Parker activated his Tek Blade's special attack.
Parker: Overload Slash!
The energy beam generated by the attack cleaved the alien warrior in two. As the pieces hit the ground, they promptly exploded in a ball of flame. Lord Strife was watching the whole thing from a view screen in the Trooper Forge chamber. He readied his broadsword and plunged it into a port in the side of the Forge.
Strife: Now serving extra large portions, Rangers! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Rangers rejoiced as the last few pieces of what was once Rockhead fell. Their joy was short lived as an unsettlingly familiar bolt of energy fell on the alien's remains. Pieces of stone and rock flew together in the tornado of energy. A moment passed and as the dust cloud cleared, the Tekno Rangers saw their troubles had multiplied in size. Rockhead towered over them, his laughter reverberating down the street, threatening to sweep them away. Parker thrust his hand to the sky.
Parker: We need T-Zord power, NOW!
The overhead doors of the Zord Holding Bay of the Command Carrier opened and the massive machines rose out and headed for the Rangers! From out of the Gideon Desert came the T-Zords in a "V" formation. The Scattershot Assault Jet and the Strafe Jet flew in the air, as the Lightspeed Racer, the Afterburner Cycle, and the Nosecone Drilltank rolled over the desert. The Rangers teleported to their respective Zords.
Parker: Scattershot Assault Jet, ready to fly!
Reilly: Strafe Jet, on your wing!
Kylie: Lightspeed Racer, good to go!
Jeremy: Afterburner Cycle, all systems go!
CD: Nosecone Drilltank, revved and ready!
Parker took his red Data Crystal from his left Tek Deck and formed his control crystal.
Parker: Okay, Rangers, power up your Crystals!
All: 3, 2, 1, contact!
A computerized voice sounded from their consoles.
Voice: Techno-MegaZord sequence has been initiated!
Each T-Zord began collapsing and folding into itself. Reilly and Jeremy's Zords formed the left and right arms, as Kylie and CD's Zords became the right and left legs. Parker's Zord formed into a torso and the other T-Zords connected to it. Suddenly, the other Rangers found themselves teleported from their cockpits to a central cockpit inside the torso, next to Parker. The computer's voice sounded again as the MegaZord's head popped out of the top to complete the transformation. The MegaZord struck a battle pose as an explosion erupted behind it.
Voice: Techno-MegaZord has been activated!
Rockhead picked up a piece of what was once an office building and threw it at the Tekno MegaZord. Using the Giagbyte Sabre, Parker batted it away. Kylie entered a command into the system and the MegaZord kicked the next piece away as well. Rockhead roared and charged them. Unable to dodge in time, the Rangers were rocked around their cockpit when the alien tackled them. Rolling away and rising quickly, Reilly directed their MegaZord to slash Rockhead. Pieces fell away, but the alien boulder was still kicking!
Reilly: Let me try something! MegaZord Power-Punch!
The MegaZord's right fist glowed with electrical energy that cracked and rolled over it. The MegaZord drew back and punched the alien beast once, twice, three times in his bread-basket. Once more Reilly keyed it in and the Tekno MegaZord landed an uppercut punch that laid the monster out for a moment. Rockhead roared as he rose, but the Rangers were ready. Kylie summoned the Barrage Cannon and keyed in a command.
All Rangers: Barrage Cannon, full power!
The tip of the Cannon lit up and a ferocious energy beam flew from it and struck Rockhead. He fell with a moan and exploded once more when he hit the ground. The Rangers all cheered.
Reilly: I love this job!
Kylie: I heard that!
Parker: Beatin' on alien monsters and blowing stuff up. It don't get better than this!
A while later, after returning the Zords and reporting to Majestros, the Tekno Rangers returned to Joydrop. Parker saw that after Rockhead was dealt with, the stone “trees” had crumbled to pieces. The group saw that Jerry had closed the shop for the night to clean up.
Reilly: Man, what a night! I wonder if they're gonna organize another block party sicne this one got trashed??
Kylie: Most likely.
The Rangers continued on their way and saw Frosty and Cool sweeping up pieces of rocky debris and trash from the party. Parker and Reilly waved as they passed and laughed a little bit. Frosty was about to do something when Cool motioned that Ms. Beemer was watching them as she sipped on a smoothie. The Rangers all chuckled as they walked on, back to their private lives.
