It was a quiet day in Angel Grove, the first in a long time. It had been several years since the Zeo Rangers destroyed the Machine Empire once and for all, but all was not calm. With Zordon dead, all evil had supposively been destroyed as well, or evil beings changed to their former human selves. Unfortunately, something happened that shouldn't have, and now the world may once again be in great peril.
Alpha 5 woke up startled. "Oh my!" he cried. "Where am I?" He looked left and right, but the area was too dark for him to pick out. "Oh now I've done it!" he complained. "I'm lost!" He stepped forward to try and get a better idea for his predicament, but at that moment the entire area lit up in a flash. In a matter of seconds, the area was fully lit, and Alpha could immediately tell where he was. "Aye yae yae yae yae! This is the Command Center! The first one! I thought this was destroyed!" All of a sudden something appeared behind him accompanied by the sound of static electricity. He jumped and spun around, but what he saw gripped him with amazement and awe. "It's not possible!" he denied. "Zordon, you are alive!"
"Alpha," the floating head greeted with a booming voice, "it's as I feared."
Meanwhile, things were stirring up on the moon. With the return of Zordon, it could only mean one thing. The moon base was back, and so was its deadly inhabitants. One of them was perched on the balcony of the base, looking down upon Earth. "Earth...." he growled. "I let you slip from my fingers before, but not again. This time, it will be mine, and nothing will stop me!"
"Everything is back in order, Lord Zedd!" Another voice echoed from behind. Zedd turned around to look upon his second in command, Goldar. "The Putties await your orders oh evil one! Just make the command and we shall attack!"
"Patience, Goldar," Zedd replied. "All in good time. We must plan carefully but quickly. If I have returned, it means Zordon has as well. He will most likely attempt to stop me which can only mean one thing."
Goldar sneered. "Power Rangers........"
Back on Earth, Angel Grove College was beginning its fall semester. One particular student was especially eager to start his college career among the other students. "So this is what college feels like. I guess I shouldn't be surprised." Rob continued to walk through the bustle of the other students, all going different ways to classes and dorm rooms. He hadn't really met anybody yet, but he knew that would change eventually.
-
Bulk and Skull walked in from the local food court. all these fast foosd places bulky" Skull said as he munched in a hamburger " No woionder freshmen in college gain k,lots of weight.. ' shut it skull " Bulk said . both he and Skullk were studying communications, as it was a fairly easy degree to get..
-
John was resting in one of the places on campus where students did go to sit or do other things. He didn't live on campus but off campus & kept to himself to an extent. He had sat down from walking around so much and decided after resting a bit he would continue to where he was going.
----
"Power rangers? Not those doo goody dweebs again. They give me a headache." Rita said, coming out from another room.
-
"Unfortunately, it seems so," Zedd replied to Rita. "Zordon must be alive, and he will no doubt organize a new group of Power Rangers to thwart our plans. We must find who these new rangers will be and destroy them before they can achieve their powers."
"How do we find them, my lord?" Goldar asked. "There are thousands of wretched teenagers on that planet!"
"Fool!" Zedd scolded. "Zordon originally chose teenagers from Angel Grove, and that is where he will choose from again!"
"Of course!" Goldar praised with some fear. "You are most wise my lord!"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Zordon! How is this possible?" Alpha asked. "Andros destroyed you in order to get rid of all evil!"
"I am just as curious as you are," Zordon replied, "but there's more to worry about. If I have returned, it can only mean that evil has come back as well."
"Aye yae yae yae yae!" Alpha shrieked. "What do we do? The world will be in peril!"
"Calm down, Alpha," Zordon commanded. "Nothing has happened yet, which means whatever evil has returned must still be planning an attack. We must prepare for it quickly if we stand a chance of stopping it."
---------------------------------------------------------
Rob decided to stop into the local food court and grab something to eat. He didn't have any classes yet, so he was mainly curious about finding his way around campus. He figured it would pay to also try and meet people and make some new friends. Walking into the food court, he noticed many people sitting around and chatting, and for some reason Rob felt both relieved and nervous at the same time. "Well, at least this will be a little more casual," he muttered to himself. "I wonder if I'll find myself here often."
-
Bulk and Skull noticed Rob passing though " Hey there' Skull said " we've got a seat oipen here!
- skull why are you inviting that guy/ We don't know him?
He was in our class in high school I think' Skull replied..
-
Getting hungry John got up and decided to head to the food court so he could get some food and a drink. He walked over to the food court thinking what he would want. He decided to make his decision once there instead. Once there he looked to see what choices there were before he headed there.
-
Rob overheard his name called out and turned towards the source of the call. He was surprised to see Bulk and Skull sitting there and offering a seat to him. Sure they weren't his absolute best friends, but at least he knew them and was acquainted with them. He walked over to their table and sat down, putting his backpack aside. "Thanks for the seat." Bulk and Skull were seen as troublemakers back in high school, but Rob knew that they were still good people, if not silly. "I think I remember you too from high school. I'm Rob; I think we had a couple classes together."
-
yeah, weren't you near the back of the class, anyway bulk and i got through class alright, nothing great but enough to get us into this college" skull said " si what are you going to school for?
-
John went over to get some frozen chocolate custard & some fruit juice. He figured he'd eat a more normal meal later on and the stuff he had gotten wasn't to unhealthy. Once he had his food he went over to sit down at a table to start eating it, eating at a leisurely pace since he wasn't in a hurry.
-
Rob shrugged his shoulders. "To be honest, I haven't gotten that far yet. I was just lucky enough to get into college. Those few essays and exams were really stressful." He found it funny how friendly Bulk and Skull were being to him, considering they didn't know each other too well, but at this point anybody he was familiar with was better than nobody. "Once I get deeper into the semester I will figure out what I want to do. I guess that's the whole point of these distribution courses. It's a shame they don't have a martial arts class or something like that. I would probably breeze right through it."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We must be quick, Alpha," Zordon commanded. "I don't know who has returned with us, but we must find a new team of Power Rangers to defend Earth against them."
"But Zordon!" Alpha complained. "All of the powers have been destroyed!"
"Not all of them," Zordon corrected. "Before the rangers achieved the Turbo powers, there was the Zeo Crystal. It still remains intact."
"That's brilliant!" Alpha cheered. "We can find new teenagers worthy of wielding the Zeo powers!"
"Exactly," Zordon replied. "Quickly now. Start scanning Angel Grove for possible candidates."
"Excellent idea, Zordon!" Alpha cheered again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If I know Zordon," Zedd growled, "he will be searching Angel Grove for new Power Rangers. We must find them first and destroy them!"
"Why not just destroy every teenager there, my lord?" Goldar suggested.
"While I am certainly not opposed to that idea," Zedd replied, "we can't be too rash with such delicate matters. I may be a conqueror, but I am not a blood thirsty monster!"
"Of course, your excellency," Goldar agreed. "Just make the order, and we shall strike!"
"All in good time," Zedd assured.
-
John continued to eat his food where he was, staying alone for now since he didn't really know anyone.
-
Rob looked over and he noticed John sitting by himself. He didn't know John well, but he had at least seen him briefly when they were all moving in. Maybe I should go and formally introduce myself. Rob turned back to Bulk and Skull. "I'll catch you guys later. It was good seeing you two again." Rob stood up, waved good bye, and then headed over to where John was sitting. "Hi," he spoke up. "You're John, right? I saw you coming in with the rest of us new students. I'm Rob. Would you like some company?"
-
both bulk and skull waved goodbeye ' hrey at least we saw someomne we knew.. kinda' yeah well we gotta get to class i've got communicvations at 12' bulk said. as the two of them headed out..
-
John looked up, "Sure, if you'd like." He said motioning to a seat next to him. "I'm new in town. Moved here to go to college here." He said. "My name's John." He said holding his hand out.
-
Rob sat down next to John and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Robert, but I go by Rob." Rob had only known John for maybe two seconds, but he could already tell he was going to get along with him. He couldn't explain it, but something about him seemed right. Either way, he knew he wouldn't have any trouble making friends with him. "So where exactly did you move from? I moved here from Pennsylvania. I figured I would get a feel of how the West Coast lives."
-
"I'm from up north were it gets pretty cold." He said shaking hands with Rob. "I thought I'd enjoy living somewhere where it's warm instead, and no snow." He said. He thought this Rob person seemed to be a nice person and felt they could well be friends, perhaps pretty good friends even.
-
"Hey there. Mind if I sat down here?"
A young man with light brown hair, tied back in a loose ponytail that hung down to almost the bottom of his back asked, smiling slightly...
-
Rob turned to the man and smiled. "Not at all, be my guest. I'm Rob, and this is John. We're both new here. Are you in that same boat?"
-
John motioned for the new comer to sit down. "Feel free to sit down. Nice to meet you." He said.
-
Patrick Sighed as he exited his limo as William held the door open. "Please try to cause trouble today sir, your lawyer is on vacation in Fiji." William said as he closed the door. "You know me William." Patrick said with a smirk as he flung his backpack over his shoulder. "That's what I'm afraid of Sir." He replied as Patrick Shrugged. "William, It's Angel Grove, nothing happens here anymore, I'll see you after school." Patrick said as he headed inside the collage.
-
Rob noticed another new guy walk in, and he could tell he seemed like he was looking for someplace to sit. I wonder what he's here for. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to meet him. I've already met three guys so far, might as well make it four. He waived over to Patrick and called out to him. "Hey, over here! You can come sit with us!"
-
Patrick sighed, He didn't really feel like sitting with a bunch of people. "No Thank' s, I'll pass." He said as politely as possible. Patrick then went over to an unoccupied table and pulled out his lap top. Turning it on he used his Droid as a wi-fi hot spot. Patrick then went to a website he made called RangerBashers. Com. Since he got flamed for expressing how he felt about the Power Rangers on fan sites, he decided to make his own. Of course, there were some people who bashed his website. Patrick chuckled at it. He of course didn't ban them, instead he had debated the fanfare that followed a bunch of multicolored costume wearing vigilantes who had caused quite a bit of collateral damage, and who he also partly blamed for what happened to his parents.
-
John shrugged mentally, guessing the other person had their reasons for not wanting to sit with strangers, many reasons for that there could be. "So either of you been here long?" He asked.
-
Tracy entered theunion and strode up to the table " hi there, you guys have a spare seat i could borrow ' she said mottioning to the heavy backpack she was carrying " I told my folks i didfn'rt have all my classes at the same day, but they made me take all the books anyway.. if i have to carry all of them around the whiole emester i'll throw my back out..
-
The young man with the ponytail nodded.
"If it's okay with these two, I don't see why not. Name's Eric, by the way."
He said with a grin.
"I'm new here too. Just got home from studying in Japan for High School."
He added...
-
Hi Eric I'm tracy. i'm originally from Florida but I've always wanted to visit California..Angel Grove seems like a nice place. Tracy said she wore a pink shirt with faded blue jeans, her red hair hung below her shoulders.
-
"Sure, feel free to sit down. I'm John, nice to meet you." He said, nodding to what Tracy said, "yes, Angel Grove does seem like a nice place." He said as he sipped his fruit drink.
"Studied in Japan? Did you find the language hard and how is it different then the U.S.?" He asked.
-
"Not really," Rob responded to John's question. "I moved here from Pennsyylvania maybe two days ago, and today is my first day here. I don't mind California as much as I thought I would, what with me living on the east coast my entire life." When Tracy came over and asked to join them, Rob turned to her. "Fine by me," Rob added. "The more the merrier. I'm Rob by the way. Nice to meet you Tracy." Rob was very excited at how many people he was meeting right off the bat. It almost seemed like more than coincidence that they were all coming together at the same time. This is great. At least now I have a group I can easily hang out with, since we're all new here. "You came from Florida? I came from the east too. I guess we have something in common."
-
Walking down the corridors of the college was a young man, somewhat pale skin, short black hair, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, brown pants and bown sneakers. He was carrying a backpack, re-accomodating it on his back as he was visible angry - "Even if I had the precautions, I cannot believe I am not allowed to bring my family's sword with me... what is wrong with this people." - he kept walking at a very fast pace and finally he decided to stop and lean his back on the wall where he took a breath. - "I need to calm down" - he thought as he began looking at his surroundings, he then though that a large number of students are constantly entering and exiting a smaller building. - "Maybe what I need is food, I hope they serve real food there." - he walked down the corridor and made his way to the food court.
-
On the moon, Rito Revulto was pacing around with his sword in his hand, waiting for the silence that came after Edd's (Remember he called Zedd Edd.) Plan. Until he could no longer take it. "I can't take it anymore, I wanna go down and have some fun. Come on Edd, You just gotta sent me down, I'll take the Putties and really wreck that city." Rito said, trying to hide the disappointment he had since learning the Tengas were not to leave the moon. " Sis, Let me go, I'll go stir crazy siting round here."
-
Zedd had always gotten sick and tired of Rito calling him Edd, but he was too excited about getting revenge on Angel Grove that he didn't mind it. "Oh fine! Take the Putties and attack Angel Grove! I want you to round up every-" but before he finished his command he stopped and thought to himself. "What if Zordon is trying something else?" He then turned back to Rito. "Head for Angel Grove College! Zordon is picking his new rangers from there! I can feel it!"
"I shall go with Rito!" Goldar offered. "I will make sure every person in that college is found and brought here!"
"You better not fail me!" Zedd warned. "This is a new age for us! Now that we have returned, we shall rule the world!" Zedd lauged evilly as Goldar gathered a group of Putties. He grabbed Rito by the arm and they all teleported out of Zedd's lair.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the command center, an alarm blared loudly. "Aye yae yae yae!" Alpha buzzed. "Zordon, what's going on?"
"It's as I feared," Zordon explained. "Zedd is launching an attack on Angel Grove College, in an attempt to prevent us from finding the new Power Rangers. We must act quickly if we are to save them."
"Oh, this is terrible!" Alpha complained. The robot began frantically pushing buttons left and right until the Viewing Globe showed an image of the college. "The Viewing Globe is up, Zordon! We can search for the new rangers this way."
-
"I do hope they succeed, but if nothing else it'll get them out of our hair for a while. Better then them moping around here all the time." Rita said. "Shall we go and watch and see how they do?" Rita asked as she looked over at Zedd.
-
OOC: I assume we're using the season one putties, If not correct me please.
Rito jerked away from Goldar once they had teleported down. "Oh Goodie, I missed this town!" He shouted as he started to fire energy bolts from his sword. "Hello Angel Grove, The boys are back in town!" Rito shouted with delight as he watched the students flee in terror.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patrick sighed as he put away his laptop and Droid. He decided to get something to eat before his first class when he heard an explosion outside. Rushing to the door he saw the cause. What looked like a giant Skeleton with a sword and army helmet. Patrick froze when he saw the creature was accompanied by the monster that killed his Parents. Class could wait, He had a shot at making that Freak pay. Patrick rushed outside, Seeing a chunk of what used to be a metal poll to a sign, Patrick picked it up and charged one of the gray creatures with the black markings and hit with the metal poll. Another one grabbed him from behind, But Patrick spun around and punched him. Patrick did a tornado kick and sent two more to the ground. "Hey you, the gold plated monkey with wings!" Patrick shouted at Goldar. "You and I have a 17 year old score to settle!" Patrick said as he charged towards Goldar.
-
Eric looked up out the window as a group of Putties appeared.
"What in the...? Are those the Putty Patrol? That can't be good. What do you guys say we go smack them around a bit? If you think you can handle it, of course."
He said, grabbing his bag as he stood up...
-
you see a bunch of things come up and you want to fight them? Good grief. You guy aren't the Power Rangers you know" Tracy said picking up her bookbag and carrying on on her back as she followed the others outside..
-
Eric chuckled as he walked outside, reaching into his bag and tugging out a cigarillo and a match, smirking as he struck the match on the strap of his bag, lit his cigarillo, and flicked the match to put it out.
"Maybe not, but I grew up watching them, and I've got a few Black Belts. Besides. This seems like a good chance to test my strength."
He said, grabbing a small, straight metal stick out of his bookbag...
-
Rob instantly recognized the Putties outside. He had heard all about them from the stories about the Power Rangers and how they saved the world from evil. Never in his life though did he imagine that he would actually be seeing them in real life. He noticed the one guy who blew them off ran outside in some sort of rage. This can't be good.He picked up his backpack and followed the others outside. "It's dangerous, I'll admit," Rob agreed with Tracy, "but we have to do something. That guy could use our help."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goldar watched Patrick charge towards him, but he simply grabbed him by the throat and held him up. "Foolish human! You really think you can stand against me!"
"Let him go!" Goldar looked back and noticed a group of kids had formed and stood before him. One of them stood forward and called out again. "You heard me you overgrown chicken! Let him go, now!"
"Overgrown chicken?" Goldar replied with rage. "I'll teach you not to insult Goldar!" He threw Patrick to the side and raised his sword. "Putty Patrol! Attack!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That can't be good," Rob muttered. At that moment, a group of putties began to circle him, Tracy, Eric, and John. "If you guys can fight, now would be a good time," Rob proclaimed. He placed his hands out in front of him in a defensive position and prepared as one putty approached him. It threw a wild swing with its fist, but Rob ducked and uppercut it, following with a side kick, launching it to the ground.
-
Tracy took off her book bag and started swinging it at nearby Putties. the weight of the book sent the Putties flying back.. The others putties started attacking the others, and Tracy started hitting at the putties with her bag..
-
Patrick coughed as he got up from the ground. "That's it, time to fight dirty." He said as he circled around Goldar. Patrick saw Goldar had a black tail-like appendage. An almost evil Idea rushed into Patrick's Head as he grabbed the tail and yanked it as hard as he could. Patrick went a step further and bit down on Goldar's tail as hard as he could. Before Patrick could do anything else, Rito Revulto charged from behind. Patrick barrel rolled out of the way and Rito collided with Goldar. Patrick retreated to where his "Saviors" were. "This is my fight, stay out of it!" He shouted as he got up off the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rito got up and groaned. "Sorry Goldie, but that human tricked me." He complained as he charged the human again. Patrick said as he started pelting Rito with derbies. "Hey, quit it, ouch. I mean it." Rito yelped as he teleported away, only to reappear behind. Patrick and grabbed him by the neck. "Any last words." The skeleton asked in a mocking tone. "Yes, I'm begging you, brush your teeth. "Patrick said.
Rito cocked his head and in typical 'Rito form', used the hand he was using to chock Patrick with to test his breath. Patrick made a hasty retreat as he barely dodged an Angry Rito's energy blasts. Patrick laid on the ground as Rito raised his sword for the killing blow. "Bye-bye human!" Rito said as he prepared to finish Patrick
-
Eric sidestepped a putty's blind punch, dropping low and sweeping it's legs out from under it before finishing it off with a savage axe kick. He flicked the tube in his hand, extending it quickly into a full bo staff, using it to fend off another putty.
"Funny that you'd say that to people who're getting attacked same as you are."
He said almost mockingly...
-
(Guys we shouldn't be as successful in fighting the putties. during the first episode the putties overpowered the rangers-to-be.)
-
((OOC: I posted this point in the discussion thread. We are going to be overpowered by the putties because we haven't gotten our powers yet. After we are recruited, then we can actually start to overpower them. Until then, no intense fighting yet. I should have made this point sooner, and I apologize for not doing so.)
Unfortunately for the group, the Putties were much stronger than they anticipated. Rob tried desperately to fend them off, but they kept coming back. "There's too many of them!" Rob noticed Patrick was taking a beating, so he shoved a Putty to the side and dashed towards Rito. He flying side kicked the skeletal monster in the side, but it didn't do much damage. It did manage to push him back a little so he could grab Patrick off the ground and help him back to the group. "I've got you," he muttered.
Goldar laughed as the kids tried to regroup. "There's no chance for you humans! Lord Zedd and Empress Rita have returned, and you shall all bow to their rule!"
"This can't be happening," Rob uttered in slight horror. "This can't be real." Unfortunately, he was caught off guard as a Putty kicked him forcefully. Rob jolted back and rolled on the ground, clasping his hand on his chest. "We're getting hammered out here!"
-
With all the Putties surrounding the group, they didn't notice someone coming from behind and attacking them. It was another new student who were able to grab them and kick them, not much to defeat them, but enough to open some space. Still, the enemies' numbers are overwhelmingly large and they were able to return the strike and to force the newcomer near the rest of the small group of students been trapped there. - "Well, the good news is that the are not going after more students but for you... now us." - he said as managed to stand up again, grabbing his right arm that suffered a heavy strike from a putty. - "Any of you have a escape plan?"
-
John was surprised by the appearance of the puddies. He had not seen their like before. At first he tried to start fighting them using basic karate, with not a lot of success, though he did manage to block some of their attacks, overall not to effective.
Then he switched to the other style of martial arts he knew, handy being older then he looked. He switched to using Monkey Kung fu, the bizzare way he was acting having 1 or 2 of the puddies scratching their heads since they had never seen this style of martial arts before.
-
i say we run Tracy said exhausted from swinging the heavy book bag.. We need to get away from these things.."
-
Eric nodded, smacking one away from himself with his staff.
"I'd say that's our best bet right now..."
He said, backing up...
-
"At the moment, no," Rob replied to the newcomer, "and now I'm starting to get the feeling that this wasn't such a good idea after all."
"Give up, humans!" Goldar commanded as he fixed his tail behind him. He couldn't deny that he felt some degree of pain when Patrick bit down on it, but it wasn't enough to keep him down. Of course, he didn't want to project that a human was able to pull a trick like that on him. "Surrender to your new rulers!" he continued ordering.
"If somebody is going to save us," Rob commented, "now would be the time to do it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aye yae yae yae yae!" Alpha screeched. "This is horrible! The college is falling to Goldar and Rito! What do we do?"
"Calm down!" Zordon pleaded. "I have a solution. Teleport the five humans that fought against the Goldar, Rito and the Putties to the Command Center immediately."
"You mean you found our new Power Ranger candidates?" Alpha asked
"That is correct," Zordon nodded.
"But there are six of them!" Alpha commented.
"I know, but I have a feeling about the sixth human, something I can't explain," Zordon admitted. "I feel like he can handle himself."
"If you're sure, Zordon!" Alpha frantically pushed several buttons and looked over on the Viewing Globe. He watched as the five humans were instantly teleported away from the college, and in a flash they appeared right before him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rob had no idea what just happened. First he was at the college, and in an instant he was somewhere else. He looked around and noticed that Eric, Tracy, Patrick, and the newcomer were with him, but John was missing. "What the heck?" he muttered as he tried standing up. "Is everybody okay?"
"You are safe now," a mechanical voice answered. Rob looked forward and saw a robot that he recognized all to well.
"Alpha Five?" he asked.
"Command Center Prototype," Alpha responded, "but how do you know about me?"
"I....uh....." Rob couldn't get the words out, because he was still trying to process everything through his mind. "What is this place?" he finally asked.
"This is the Command Center!" a loud, booming voice answered. Rob looked up and gasped when he saw a floating head in a giant, glass like tube.
"Oh my god," he whispered. "Zordon?"
"Welcome, Rob, Eric, Tracy, Patrick, and Canis."
-
you guys ACTUALLY Exist?!?Tracy dropped her book bag and looked for a place to steady herself.. ' so how much of the stories are true? are ALL of them true? We all grew up listening to stories about the Power Rangers, they were .. legends, icons, whatever you want to call them.. but i thought they were just that.. stories...
-
Patrick closed his eyes and did something he hadn't done in 17 years, He started to pray.
When Patrick Opened his eyes, he saw he was in a strange place. " Rob, Eric, Tracy, Patrick, and Canis, welcome to the command center!" A loud, authoritarian voice boomed." Patrick stared at him, unimpressed. "OK, start talking you giant floating head, cause I got my lawyer on speed dial." Patrick said, but upon taking out his phone, he saw it was busted. "Or I did until those freaking Alien Jack-holes busted it." Patrick said, putting the cell phone away. Turning to Tracy, a smirk crossed his face. "You say the power rangers are legends, well as far as I'm concerned they're nothing but a bunch vigilante bums who're are never around when you need them, where were they when our collage was attacked?" He demanded.
-
Elsewhere inside a room someone stepped off of what looked like a transporter from star trek.
"Excellent work as always scotty." A familiar voice said off screen said. "It seems that the college is under attack. So it's time to uncover the energy changing thing."
"Are you sure?" Another voice said.
"With the odd looking creatures I saw I doubt the police can do anything, and since comic book characters are no help it may be necessary to use it again." The first voice said. "Just need to put in a component or 2 and it'll be ready for use again."
-
Eric looked around, then whistled.
"Heh...Wow...So the show was true, huh? This place...it's really real."
He then stopped and looked at Zordon.
"So, does this mean we're gonna become Power Rangers or something? Aren't we a little old?"
He asked, running a hand through his hair...
-
"I can understand that you have many questions," Zordon began, "but all I can tell you is that everything you have been led to believe is wrong. The stories are true, and now the world is in great danger once again."
"Why?" Rob asked. "What's going on, and how do you know who we are?"
"I been watching you as you all arrived at Angel Grove College," Zordon explained. "I watched you fight against Goldar, Rito, and the Putties, and I can tell that you all have great strength and pure hearts. You see, you five have been chosen to defend the world as the new generation of Power Rangers."
"You're kidding," Rob replied in sheer awe.
"We can assure you, Zordon is not kidding," Alpha piped in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goldar watched with great pride as the Putties continued to cause mayhem throughout Angel Grove College. He laughed as the Putties terrorized the students and faculty, "Excellent!" he roared. "Everything is going according to plan!"
"GOLDAR!" a voice echoed through the air. Goldar turned around and looked up to the sky, where he found an image of Lord Zedd's face glaring at him. "Report!"
"We have successfully invaded Angel Grove College, your evil one!" Goldar bowed. "It is only a matter of time before we have completely taken over!"
"And what of the six humans!" Zedd pressed. "The ones who stood up against you and Rito!" Where are they?"
"They, uh, were teleported away from here!" Goldar stammered.
"YOU FOOL!" Zedd bellowed. "Zordon has found his new Power Rangers! Your stalling has proven to be your downfall, as usual!"
"My apologies, your excellency!" Goldar pleaded. "I shall wait for their return, and then I will destroy them all!"
-
You're Zordon right? Tracy said " How exactly did you get stuck inside that tube? if i'm prying too much I apologize, but i'm curious.. thats all.."
-
Rita was watching through her telescope. "We should send down a monster before to long. These new rangers will have little experience." Rita said.
-----------------------------
They worked on putting the components into the device that was the size of a console tv type of thing. "This should not take to long."
"We should name this." The other voice said.
"Time for that later. There, now I'm glad I didn't dissemble this, but left it like this.
Ok, activate it."
There was a click then a flash of bright gold light that lasted for a second at most. Once that was done the person with the familiar voice had been changed into a ranger. His costume was solid gold with no emblems, except on his wrists were bracelets that resembled those of the tv cartoon character Space Ghost, though the same color as the rest of his costume.
-
"Hold it right there oh great bald one, I'm nobodies draftee." Patrick said, clearly irritated that this Zordon had the nerve to save them only to turn around and draft them into his Private army. "And even If I would help you, which I won't, Just who is threatening the world whom the Military' s of the world can't stop. I heard that gold plated Monkey say Rita and Lord Zedd had returned, I want answers."Patrick said, clearing starting to lose his Patience.
-
"A long time ago, I was in a struggle against Rita Repulsa's evil," Zordon explained to Tracy. "I assembled a team of five warriors who managed to seal Rita and her minions away. Unfortunately, before doing so, she trapped me in a time warp. This is the only way I can project myself to your world." Zordon then turned to Patrick, who had shown great anger in being told what he as meant to do. "What you heard is correct, Patrick. As I have returned, so has Rita and Lord Zedd, two of the most villainous beings in the universe. They are just as powerful as they were before, so your military cannot do anything against their magic. The have come to try and conquer the world, again, and it is up to you to stop them."
"You mean after the first Power Rangers defeated them?" Rob asked.
"It's more complicated than that," Zordon shook his head. "In order to destroy all evil threatening the world, I was to die. A Power Ranger made the ultimate decision to destroy my tube, and in doing so all evil was destroyed along with me."
"So how do you think you were brought back?" Rob asked again.
"That we do not know," Alpha replied. "Whatever the case, Zordon came back for a reason, even though we do not know what that reason may be."
"I understand this is a lot to ask of you," Zordon continued, "but Zedd and Rita have already begun their assault on Earth, starting with your college. If something isn't done, then the world will fall into their grasp."
"I'm in," Rob concluded. "I may have only heard about Zedd and Rita in stories, but they're here now, and somebody has to stop them." He stepped forward with confidence and gazed up at Zordon. "I will become a Power Ranger and fight Zedd and Rita."
-
So, you're going to make us power Rangers huh Tracy said "Can we at least pick a weapon? as she turned around she noticed that there were display cases with suits inside " are those the old Power Rangers uniforms and weapons.." she said clearly awed.
Bulk and Skull meanwhile were hiding in a classroom from the putty Patrol " This can't be happening Bulk said " I thought those things had been destroyed years ago!
Well it is bulky, unless some freshman got his friends together found some halloween uniforms and are pulling of some sort of elaborate prank..which.. well I highly doubt is the case..Skull said, squeezed under the row of seats which also held computer monitors..
-
Patrick glared at Zordon' s response. "There is no such thing as magic, the laws of Physics are clear on that." Patrick said as he listened to Zordon continue. turning his thoughts back to Goldar, how he was able to toss him aside, it reminded him how he hated feeling helpless against those alien freaks. He also thought about his parents, before they were killed, they always told him to always try and help people who were in trouble. But he had enough problems, his weekly meeting with his Probation officer. He had to get get out of here. Rushing over to one of the consoles. "One of these buttons has to send me back." Patrick said frantically. Patrick jumped and looked behind him into what looked like a crystal ball. He saw The skeleton he guessed was Rito, along with the putties terrorizing the collage with Goldar. Patrick sighed when he saw the look of terror in the faces of the students and faculty. Turning back to Zordon. "Fine I'll cave and be a ranger, But only so I can murder those Alien freaks by the bushels." Patrick said. "Also, If I'm fine with any color but pink, got it!" He said. "So make with powers so we can get started, and skip the formalities, cause it looks like we're gonna have n the job training." Patrick said.
-
Speak for yourself pal, we're not going out there without having some idea of our abilities.. and I'll take pink I suppose.." Tracy shrugged..
-
"If you all have heard so much about Power Rangers, then you must begin getting used to see weirs things. I am just so glad to meet a legend like Zordon personally!" - Canis said by making a bow. He thought about the situation for a moment, he wondered if Zordon and Alpha Five would have noticed that he is not... human, he is as alien as Goldar and Rito, not from this world, but with way different intentions towards Earth.
He then looked at Patrick. - "But the frenzied college mate here is right, time is running out, and if you think we are worthy, then you should help us become Power Rangers so we can stop those aliens." - he said with determination.
-
The gold ranger put on a thin wrist band around his left wrist then went over to a console to press some buttons and look at a readout. "Looks like the leak of power is still there, though slower then before. So there is an improvement, but we've not licked it yet." He said.
"The spy eye has arrived." The other voice said and the gold ranger walked over to another monitor.
"Looks like those whatever they are are still there." The gold ranger said. "Good thing we have some of those things. They come in handy. No wonder the military likes them." he said as he looked at the monitor and saw what the forces of Zedd and Rita were up to. "I should get out there soon. Ready the transporter. but not to close to where they are. I don't want to end up in the center of them after all." He said in a joking manner.
-
Eric walked over to the display cases, running a hand over the glass, smiling a little.
"So it looks like I get to live my dream after all. You seeing this, mom?"
He said, looking up at the ceiling with a grin, then turned to Zordon.
"I'll take the Blue Ranger, if that works."
He said, eyes filled with spark.
-
One more question, Zordon" Tracy spoke up. ' What will you use to give us our powers? I mean I don't think you have any Power coins around, because as I recall from the stories those were eventually destroyed..."
-
"You are correct, Tracy," Zordon confirmed. "The power coins were destroyed, but there is another source that we have kept safe." He looked to Alpha and nodded. Alpha walked over to the control console and pushed a few buttons. Underneath it, a shelf slid out to reveal a large, white crystal.
"This is the Zeo Crystal," Alpha explained. "When the power coins were destroyed, we used the Zeo Crystal to give the former rangers new powers."
"This crystal will bestow upon you powers that you couldn't begin to imagine. Only those of pure good can wield this power, and I see that within each of you."
"Is there a code or something that we have to follow?" Rob asked. "I doubt you're just going to give these powers to us freely."
"As a Power Ranger, there are three basic rules you must follow, or lose the protection of the power," Zordon explained. "First, never use your power for personal gain, especially revenge. Second, only use your power when a battle has escalated to the point when you absolutely need it. These powers are meant for your defense, but do not follow through with brute force. Finally, you must keep your identity a secret. Nobody can know that you are a Power Ranger."
"Makes sense to me," Rob commented. He looked back at the viewing globe and noticed the chaos the Putties were causing at the college. "We better hurry, Zordon. The college needs us."
"Very well," Zordon responded. The Zeo Crystal floated out of the shelf and split into five sub crystals. Rob watched as his crystal floated over him as the rest to the others. "You have been chosen to defend the world as the new breed of Power Rangers!" Zordon continued. He then went down and looked upon each person, starting with Tracy.
"Tracy, you shall be known as Zeo Ranger 1, Pink. Patrick, you will wield the power of Zeo Ranger 2, Yellow. Eric, the power of Zeo Ranger 3, Blue is yours. Canis, you will control the power of Zeo Ranger 4, Green. Rob, you shall wield the power of Zeo Ranger 5, Red, as well as the leader of the Power Rangers." The crystals began to glow there respective colors, and in a flash, Rob felt himself encased in an armor-like suit and helmet. He looked upon himself in astonishment.
"This is amazing. I can feel the energy flowing within me." He looked over at the others, noticing they were in similar suits, just different colors. "Tell me you guys are feeling this too."
((OOC: I find it hard to describe what the armor looks like, but imagine the Zeo Ranger costumes but more like the Mighty Morphin costumes in the movie. Not exactly armor, but not spandex either.))
-
Tracy looked at her new armor and stumbled against the glass holding the former weapons. as she did there was flash light and tracy was stunned to see she was holding a sword in her hand. the sword was white and had face of a tiger on the hilt.. 'Hello there said a small voice "I am Saba.. it has been a very long time in there, but i am glad to be working with a ranger again.
-
I'm.. i/m the pink ranger" Tracy said ' is there a place i can put you?" "that loop on your belt will suffice Tracy.. "How.. " I know many things Saba said " but now is not the time for explanations.." Tracy slid saba through the loop on her belt. "This is so.. surreal' She said looking at the others.
-
Canis began looking at himself, the new suite of armor he is now wearing. - "This is amazing, I have never even dreamed with something like this." - Not only that, but the suite is also helping his holo-belt with additional energy, so he can keep his human form.
He then went closer to place Tracy was. - "I will not ask if you are ok, because it looks like you are feeling more than ok." - and then he saw a flash of light and a big blaster-type gun appeared in his left hand. - "This is what I call a gun." - But then, something more impressive happened, the Wind-Saber, his family's traditional weapon appeared in front of him with a renewed glow. - "How is this possible? are the powers of the Zeo Crystal this great that I can summon my own sword?" - he took his sowrd with his right hand. The Saber has a long blade of a blue-shaded color, the grip of the sword has the normal shape where the warrior can put the hands, but the section that unites the grip with the blade itself has the shape of a bird's head. Canis began moving it as the saber made a soft sound as it cuts the air.
"I think I am ready for anything." - he said as he placed his sword in a sheath in the left side of his belt, and the blaster in the right side.
-
Eric looked at his gloved hands, then at the rest of his body.
"Wow... Wow! This is so incedible. I'm honestly a Power Ranger! "
He smiled, then in a flash of light, his own weapons appeared in front of him. The first was a large, handgun-looking pistol, the barrel seemingly made of two components. The second, and more impressive, was a double-bladed katana. The twin blades joined at the pommels of their elaborate handgrips, and each sword blade was double-edged and etched with the Japanese phrase 'Aku Zoku Zan', or 'Swift death to evil'. He grabbed them both, sliding the pistol onto his belt, then splitting the double blade into a pair of Katana, sheathing them across his back.
"Alrighty. Let's go and save Angel Grove."
He said, cracking his knuckles eagerly...
-
"The capacitors are fully charged." The other person in the room said.
"Good, once I've teleported there best to start recharging the capacitors again. I'm not sure how long my energy will hold out before I'll need to be beamed out." The gold ranger said before he walked over to where the transporter was and got onto the transporter pad.
"Ready?"
"Energize." The gold ranger said. As the transporter was activated he beamed out in an effect very similar to the star trek transporter effect.
-
Patrick short a glare towards Rob after Zordon gave him a no-go on taking revenge on Goldar. However, Zordon couldn't control what happened on the battlefield. Should he destroy Goldar while doing his duties as a ranger, then zordon couldn't blame him. However as Rob pointed out, they had bigger fish to fry. Patrick remained silent as twin blades materialized before him. Somehow he knew these were his weapons, the zeo defender, a weapon with 4 modes. A double bladed lance, a riffle-like blaster, two pistol like weapons and the two swords he held before him. "OK Oh Great wizard of OZ, are you going to send us back, or do we have to walk?" Patrick asked Zordon. "Because it looks like those clay headed jack holes ain't gonna wait around much longer." Patrick said. Patrick turned to Rob. "The responsibility to lead others into battle is not simply given, it must be earned." Patrick said to Rob, as he did the Robocop gun spin before he holstered his blasters. "Also Zordon, I can't Promise you I won't kill Goldar if I get the chance, but I swear on the graves of my Parents, and with god, and these Power Ranger lovers that I won't let it consume me." Patrick swore. "So are we done, cause we have the little matter of our Collage, and the whole planet to rescue." He pointed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Rito was having fun terrorizing the campus, he got bored with people out side and went looking inside. Blasting down the door to a computer lab. He saw two humans( Bulk and Skull) hiding under a table. "Ah-ha!, hey wait a minute you two kind of look familiar, do I know you?" He asked as he held them there by their shirts.
-
um well.. you made us do a puppet show a few years ago Skull said " sweat pouring down his face.. ' Yeah and you told us it had to be funny Bulk said.. "So er mR Skull how have you been?" he said trying to be ingrating..
-
Rob watched as the Zeo Blaster/Blade and Red Zeo Sword materialized in front of him. "Incredible," he spoke in awe. He placed the blaster in his belt and firmly gripped the sword. "It feels so light," Rob marveled. He noticed the others look upon their weapons and smiled. I can't believe this is happening to us. We get to save the world. When Patrick made the blunt comment about leadership, he glared at him. "I didn't ask to be leader."
"No, you did not," Zordon agreed. "However, you have displayed merits that I feel make you worthy to lead the Power Rangers. You show extreme courage and a true heart, and I believe you will be a great leader."
"Thanks Zordon," Rob replied. "I won't let you down." He looked over to address the others. "I won't let any of you down. I promise." He looked back up to Zordon. "I think we are ready."
"Before I teleport you," Zordon started, "I want to make one final comment. You are human beings first, and Power Rangers second. Do not let these powers get in the way of your better judgement." He then looked over to Patrick. "I understand that you have a grudge against Goldar, but I implore that you do not let that grudge cause you to make any irrational decisions. You may be a Power Ranger, but don't underestimate Goldar. He is still dangerous." He looked back at the group. "Good luck, and may the power protect you!"
"Teleporting now!" Alpha reported as he pushed several buttons on the command console.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rob felt the same feeling he felt before, when they were first teleported away from the college. In a flash, they were gone, and they felt themselves land back at the college.
"That's going to take some getting used to," Rob muttered. Unfortunately, there was not much time to stand around. Putties were still everywhere, and so were Goldar and Rito. Rito had disappeared into the school, but Goldar was still outside. He turned and layed his eyes on Rob and the others, and he staggered back.
"It's not possible!" he roared. "The Power Rangers!"
"You picked the wrong college to invade, Goldar!" Rob yelled. "Now you have to deal with us!"
"It does not matter if you are the Power Rangers!" Goldar responded. "We destroyed their powers once, and we can do it again!"
"We'll see about that!" Rob dropped into his fighting stance. "Let's take them down guys!" The Putties began to circle the group again, but this time Rob was prepared. One approached him and threw a wild punch. Rob nimbly dodged to the side and hook kicked its back. The Putty tumbled to the ground, and Rob couldn't help but marvel at the new found strength he had. "This is unbelievable." He spun around as two more Putties approached him. Rob blocked a punch from one and punched it in the chest, followed by a stepping-side kick to the other. Both fell to the ground, arms and feet flailing.
-
Tracky found she was stronger and faster now with her new powers, the puttys kicks and punches seemed slower to her. and now they were going to pay..
-
The gold ranger had appeared on top of a 1 story building & was watching to get an idea of what was going on before he started his attack. He raised one arm to aim at some putties and pressed a button on that bracelet with a finger from his other hand causing a gold beam to shoot out from his hand to hit a putty.
-
Patrick remained silent as they were teleported back to the Collage. When they were faced with Goldar, He clenched his fist. "Hey flying monkey, I got a one way for ya back to OZ, in a body bag!"He said, drawing his blasters. "Meet my Zeo defenders clay heads!" Patrick shouted, unleashing several blasts as he charged. These blast sent the putties flying backwards as sparks flew from their bodies. Patrick blocked out the annoying sound they made as he continued to power through. He soon had a clear path to Goldar when he saw a student being cornered by some putties. Patrick hesitated. 'Come on Patrick, what would your parents do.' he thought until he looked towards the student and decided to help her. "I'll be back for you Ugly!" Patrick shouted to Goldar as he took off running. "Zeo defender: Lancer mode!"Patrick shouted as he struck the two putties down before returning them to blaster mode and doing the robocop gun spin to holster them. The young woman looked up. "A Power Ranger!?" She said with a big smile. Patrick nodded."It's not going to get any safer around here, Run!" He said. "Wait, that Skeleton went into that building, I think bulk and Skull are in trouble." She said. "Who?" Patrick asked, helping her up. "Two students here, please you have to save them. "I.."Patrick paused when He saw her face. "I'll save them, you just get out of here." He said taking off inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patrick stopped as he scanned the hallway. He soon saw a Patrol of putties at the end of the halls in front of the bathrooms. "Sorry, but need a hall pass." He said as he rushed them. Patrick unleashed a flurry of kicks and punches. most of the putties fled. All but one brave, or stupid putty. Patrick did a tornado kick and sent the putty into one of the stalls in the boy's Bathroom. Patrick slammed it onto the toilet and pinned it. "Here, I'd like you to meet my friend Mr. Swirly." Patrick said as he dunked the putty's head into the toilet and flushed it.
The putty flayed it's arms, trying desperately to get out of hold it was in. Patrick jumped to the ground and threw it out of the stall. The putty faded as he teleported away. "And don't come back." he said as he got up and ran out the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patrick searched the one level building and so far found no one, except the rest of the putties from the hallway, which he quickly dispatched with. Patrick was about to give up when he heard Rito laughing, he saw a kicked in door and soon saw Rito. "Yeah, I remember now, You just got pickled to be my welcome back present for My Sis Rita and her Hubie Ed." He laughed. Rito was distracted and failed to notice Patrick sneaking up behind him until Patrick jumped Rito and covered his eyes, causing him to let go of Bulk and skull, and run straight into a window.
The window shattered as Both Patrick and Rito got up. "A Power Ranger, where' d you come from, do you fight for Zordon?" he asked, proving he had no brain. "No, I fight for those who can't fight for themselves." Patrick declared as he drew his weapons. "yap yap yap, lets fight already." Rito said as he charged. "Zeo defenders: Lancer mode." Patrick said as his blasters joined together to become a riffle like weapon. Patrick blasted Rito, then rolled to the side and blasted him again.
Rito yelp in pain as sparks flew from his body. He fell, only to get back up.
"Two can play that game." Rito said as he Patrick with a bolt from his sword. Patrick fell to the ground in pain and his weapon fell out of reach. Rito approached summoned his flame thrower. " I love a weenie roast don't you?" He asked as he aimed his flame thrower at him. Before he fired Patrick rolled out of the way, he then quickly grabbed his Weapon. Patrick jumped behind Rito ans shot in the back, hitting his tank and causing it to explode. Rito fell down and exploded. "Get down!" Patrick shouted as leaped back inside and tackled Bulk and skull to the ground to shield them from the explosion that blew out the rest of the window before and then dispered, but not before setting off the sprinklers. After getting back up, Patrick grinned until he saw a black image of Rito's face with a black rose and heard him say. "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day." He said with a laugh. Patrick sighed heavily as he holstered his blaster with his "Robocop gun spin" He turned back to Bulk and skull. "You two get out of here, I cleared building of putties but it's still not safe here." He said as he fell back against the wall and sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rito hit the floor of the moon Palace with a thud and started bawling. "Rita, the yellow ranger blew up flame thrower!" He cried as he started to kick and scream on the palace floor.
-
Bulk and skull had flashbacks to when they were in high school.. " my gawd.. the Power Rangers! where the heck have you guys BEEN! Skull said, he grabbed Patrick's hand and shook it firmly.. 'We tried finding out your identities while we were in high school, but now.. well.. "
_
You guys have them secret for a reason" bulk said.. " we'll get out of here.. well as best we can with those putties around, its good to have you guys back after all this time.." he added as the pair ran down out oof the room and went down the hallway..
-
As one of the putties swung at Eric, he reacted almost instantly, dodging under its punch, then leaping up into a backflip kick to throw it into two others as they approached. Another attacker was met with a swift leg sweep into an axe kick. A third one attempted to hit him from behond, but as it swung blindly, Eric jumped over it, grabbing it by the midsection as he landed, then jumped high up into the air, spinning downward and landing with it taking most of the impact. As he skip-jumped away from the vanishing putties, he chuckled.
"Alrighty. Anyone else wanna go? C'mon. Bring it."
He said, rolling his shoulders as he did...
-
A Putty leaped towards Rob, but Rob flipped over his attacker and landed behind him. He quickly looked back and back kicked the Putty away. Turning forward, he jump front kicked another Putty and then side kicked another. Before he had time to catch his breath, he turned back as a sword swiped towards him. Rob ducked at the last minute and rolled to the side. He hopped back up to his feet to face Goldar. "Come on, Red Ranger!" Goldar sneered. "Show me your strength!"
"I don't know what you did to tick off my friend," Rob yelled, "but you're going to pay!" He raised his hand into the air and yelled out "RED ZEO SWORD!" The sword materialized in his hand and he gripped it hard.
"You're mine!" Goldar yelled. He charged towards Rob, and Rob charged as well. The two clashed together and locked swords. Goldar seemed to be forcing Rob down, but Rob didn't give up. "You can't defeat me, Red Ranger!" Goldar smirked. "Just surrender now while you have the chance!"
"I didn't become a Power Ranger just to give up!" Rob replied. He used every ounce of strength in his body to force Goldar back and slashed at him vertically. Sparks flashed as Goldar staggered back from the attack. Now angry, he began a more aggressive assault. Rob continued to block each attack and slashed back. Neither could land a blow, until finally Goldar found an opening. He slashed twice, and more sparks flashed. Rob rolled to the ground as his sword disappeared. Goldar walked towards him, laughing.
"I told you a weakling like you couldn't defeat me! Now I'll destroy you and the rest of the rangers!"
Rob clasped his hand on his shoulder as he staggered back up. "I won't surrender to you, and you won't destroy me or any of my friends!"
-
Tracy meanwhile was having some better luck fighting the puttys and clearing them out. Rob needs help' Saba called out ' " so you know all our identities.. " Most of them.. " "Great.. when we clear out the putties I'm getting the next weeks lottery numbers from you.. " That would be cheating.. and I don't condone that.." Save your lectures for later ' Tracy said drawing saba and racing towards goldar.
-
Patrick was taken by bulk and skull's thanks, But before he could explain he was new on the job, they were gone. "wow, the big guy can really move when he wants to." Patrick chuckled as he watched them take off . However it was short lived as he realized he still had a mission to complete. Patrick jumped to his feet and jumped out the window to return to the battlefield.
Patrick arrived just as Rob was about to get it from Goldar. Tracy was rushing to help, but Patrick knew a weapon with long range was just what the doctor ordered. " Hope this thing's not jammed, Zeo Defender: Striker mode." Patrick said, trying to be as quite as possible as he fired his weapon. The two blasts hit Goldar in his tail.
"Your the only one who's gonna die today you murdering freak!" Patrick shouted as he charged towards Goldar. "I'm gonna mount you head on my wall and make a belt from your tail." Patrick told the Gold Plated monkey. "so leave Red alone and fight me, unless your chicken!" Patrick said as he started to cluck in a mocking tone. Patrick then started to imitate a chicken. His plan was to get Goldar so angry, he'd get sloppy and easy to beat. "Would help if I told you I was the one who bit you in your nasty tail!" Patrick said as he started to laugh.
-
As he was also teleported, Canis gave a deep breathe as he stretched his arms, only to put himself in a defensive stance - "I will not allow evil to dominate this planet. That's why I became a Power Ranger!" - he shouted and saw how three Putties came his way, the three of them attacking at the same time, but Canis jumped high at the very last second and landed over one of the Putties, and used the momentum and the shoulders of his adversary to get a new impulse to jump backwards. He landed on his feet with a crouch and then began making quick circular movements with his hands. - "Take this!" - as one of his hands was used to repel an attack while the other delivered a strong uppercut attack to the second Putty, he then was able to give a roundhouse kick to strike the thrid one. - "This powers are amazing!" - he said and then he ran deeper in the school to try to catch more Putties before they hurt the students.
-
Theres a line waiting for a piece of Goldar" Tracy said pointing Saba at Goldar. "3 against 1 are better odds rather than taking him one on one.. plus we'll all get our cracks at him.. What do you say?' She said.
-
Eric grinned, slashing through a pair of putties as he linked his swords into their double-bladed form.
"Make that 4 on 1."
He said with a chuckle...
-
"Time I got down there." The gold ranger said as he touched a button on each bracelet at the same time just before he jumped off the building and landed on the walkway below. He started to attack some putties, each strike putting out gold colored sparks where he hit or blocked an attack. He started using regular karate then switched to monkey kung fu, since it is more unpredictable looking and has ground fighting as part of it's style. Though doing the style well requires one to be far more flexible then most other martial arts. He switched to the drunk monkey type of the style.
One series of blocks he casualy went into a full splits then onto his back so he could more easily attack some of the putties in the ankles, knees or groin area before rolling away and getting back up.
-
Rob noticed that another ranger had joined them in the battlefield. "The Gold Ranger!" he yelled. As a couple Putties started to approach the Gold Ranger, Rob pulled out his blaster out. "ZEO BLASTER!" He aimed and fired at the approaching Putties. They flew back and fell on the ground. "Thanks for the help!" he called out. He then turned back to Goldar. "You might as well give up Goldar! You're outnumbered!"
"You're numbers mean nothing!" Goldar shot back. "Lord Zedd and Empress Rita will rule the world!" Goldar was trying as hard as he could to shut out the pain in his tail, and at the moment it seemed to be working.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Rob lunged for Goldar and flying side kicked him. Golder staggered back and threw a back fist, but Rob blocked and spinning side kicked him. Goldar finally got the upper hand and hook punched, sending Rob rolling to the ground.
-
Patrick had hoped to get Goldar alone, but he would have to wait. Goldar was attacking Rob again when the Gold ranger suddenly appeared. However Patrick couldn't worry about that, they had a job to do.
Patrick jumped in front of Rob and unleashed several Blasts from his twin blasters. " Die Murderer!" Patrick shouted as his blasts hit goldar. Patrick then followed up by switching to his weapon's Riffle mode and hit Goldar with the butt of his weapon, knocking him down, and then pointed it him. "Listen up fur faced lap dog, your going to your masters two things. One, they want earth, then their gonna have to take over our cold, dead bodies. Second, that they can thank you for making me."Patrick said as he moved away from Goldar. "Now pick up your sword and leave before I decide to kill you now." Patrick warned the Alien.
-
"There those powerpunks go again, getting in the way again." Rita said before going back to her telescope. "Looks like Zordon choose some more annoying rangers."
-
Canis was able to help some trapped students that were cornered near the cafeteria by putting some Putties out of comission. - "Are you all fine?" - He asked the students and he felt relief as they all nodded positively. - "Well, I think is best for you to look for a safer place." - He then ran to look for the other Rangers after making sure the students were out of harm's way.
He then ran and found the main fight. He saw Patrick attacking Goldar and then his offer to leave. Canis does not like Patrick's attitude when attacking... but at least he offered Goldar to leave. He is still not trusting, not of Goldar so he prepared, just in case.
-
I'd suggest you take his offer Goldar" Tracy said " Or we'll finish you off, right here and now, and those two pyschos up there lose one henchman. Whats it going to be?
-
Eric twirled his double sword over his head in a flourish, then split it and leveled one of his blades at Goldar.
"Make your choice. Leave, or die. Your call."
He taunted...
-
Rob pulled himself back up and joined the others. "Face it Goldar! You can't win!"
Goldar sneered at the Rangers. "You may have won this battle, Power Rangers, but the war is just beginning! Lord Zedd and Empress Rita will rule your world, and you will bow down to him or be destroyed!"
"Don't count on it!" Rob barked back. "Tell Zedd and Rita that if its a fight they want, its a fight they'll get! As long as we are here, you will never rule our world!"
"We shall see!" Goldar replied. "We will meet again, Red Ranger, and I can assure you you won't be so brave without the help of your friends!" With that, Goldar teleported away, as well as Rito and the rest of the Putties. Rob looked around to make sure the coast was clear, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank god that's over." He turned to the rest of the rangers. "Is everybody ok?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zedd slammed his fist on the balcony rail in rage. "I can't believe it! We were so close to beginning our invasion, until those power brats spoiled everything!" He then turned to Goldar and Rito and shook his fist at them. "You two have failed me!"
"Forgive us, your evil one!" Goldar begged. "Those Power Rangers are much more powerful than before! We've never faced the Zeo powers!"
"I don't care what powers they have!" Zedd yelled. "I want them out of my way for good!"
"I promise you," Goldar assured, "I shall not fail you again!"
"You better not," Zedd warned, "for your sake!"
-
Should we head back to the command center/ tracy asked " i mean we should try and keep our identities secret. thats what all the comic book superheros do, and if its good enough for them, its good enough for us. I say.." she said
-
"I had nothing to do with it since I was her with you Zeddy. But you are right. Those dweebs are annoying with their good luck." Rita said. "We just need more preparation next time perhaps. Get the feel for what sorts they are like and their abilities and power level."
----
"One way to help keep your identity secret is be sure to not use each other's first names while in costume. " The gold ranger said.
-
Patrick changed his weapon back into his two blasters and did the Robocop gun spin. He would kill Goldar when the time came, on his own and without any help. Patrick nodded in agreement with what the gold ranger said. " I recommend we address each other by our ranger colors. " Patrick said. "And how are we supose to get back, hitch-hike?" Patrick asked as he crossed his arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rito cowered at Ed's rant. "Come on Ed, we're a little rusty." Rito pleaded with his brother in law. " we'll get them next time, say can we use the Tenga' s now, those Putties are stupid, it's their fault." Rito said.
-
you must learn to control your powers, Rangers " Saba said " you got lucky, suppose they sent down a large monster to attack./
_ Oh Crap..' Tracy shook her head " that was in the stories too, although instead of sending down one monster why didn't they send a whole..
Tracy best not give the enemy any ideas.. and the reason why they haven't is it takes a good deal of magic to create a monster, the bigger and stronger the monster, the more magic it takes, and while Zedd and Rita are powerful, even thier powers have limits." Saba replied.
-
"Saba is correct..." - Canis said as he approached the others. - "... it does take a lot of magic to do what Saba mentions, and for enemies that use other forms of power it takes them a lot of resources and/or hard-to-get technological equipment for their monsters. So we can breathe for now, but since they know we are here, the battles will get nothing but more dangerous." - The Green Zeo Ranger said as he stored his blaster and Wind Sword back to their respective sheaths. He then looked at the equipment on his wrists. - "These look like Communicators, they could have more functions, maybe they can help us return to the Command Base?. What do you guys think?".
-
Eric chuckled, spinning his double sword over his head before splitting it back in two and sheathing it on his back.
"Heh. Well, whatever comes next, we'll be ready for it, right? I mean, we're the Power Rangers."
He said, smirking under his mask...
-
Patrick arched his head at the green ranger. "what's makes you such an expert on monsters Green?" He asked suspiciously. as he stared down the green ranger. He turned to Saba and glared from beneath his helmet. Patrick turned and scoffed at the talking sword. "And you need to learn to control your mouth you animationic talking sword, I told the floating head this, there is no such thing as magic, now if we're done here, I've got places to go. I'm not much of a people person, but when you need my help, and you will call me, but it better be important." Patrick said as he started to walk off, looking for a place to demorph. He also had to call William and his other Ex-guardian, Mary and tell them he was OK, Nothing happened in angel grove anymore, Patrick should've known better.
-
Rob was still trying to take in the fact that they had just won their first battle as Power Rangers. All of this was coming at him so fast, he didn't know what to make of it all. Fortunately, he wouldn't have to think on it much longer, as he and the other rangers were instantly teleported from the college and back to the Command Center. Rob staggered a bit, still not getting used to the whole process, and he turned towards Alpha. "Next time, warn me before you bring us here. Teleporting is really disorienting."
"My apologies," Alpha replied, "but I'm sure you will get used to that feeling very soon." Rob nodded and stepped forward.
"Power down," he stated, and in a flash his suit and weapons were gone, reverting him back to his normal self.
"Congratulations, Power Rangers!" Zordon exclaimed. "You have won your first battle against Zedd and Rita, but it is far from over. You have experienced first hand how villainous Goldar is, and I can assure you he will not always fall like he did today."
"Yeah, we probably got lucky we beat him," Rob admitted. He didn't want to confess that he wasn't strong enough to handle Goldar on his own, because that would imply that he failed as a leader. He decided to shake it off for now, but at the same time he still remembered Goldar's promise that they would meet up again.
"Luck had nothing to do with it," Zordon confidently assured. "You succeeded today because you were chosen by destiny to stand up against the evil that has now come. It has always been your fate to become Power Rangers, and today only proved that you are all strong enough to handle anything Zedd and Rita throw at you. However, I must strongly urge that you all must work together in these times, because it will only get harder from here on out."
"You can count on us," Rob replied, unfortunately he didn't quite agree with his statement. He couldn't help but worry about Patrick, as he seemed to really want to go off on his own against Goldar. If teamwork was going to be the key to their victory, then Patrick was going to have to learn to cooperate with the group.
-
The gold ranger watched the others vanish. "Guess I'm not the only one with a teleporter." He said to himself before he lifted left arm to look at the thin band in front of the bracelet. "Not to bad as far as power loss is concerned." he said then held his communicator closer to his mouth. "Scotty beam me up." He said and soon after he a faster version of what looked like the transporter effect transported him back to where he had come from.
Once there he went to the device the size of a 1970's console tv. "Good news, there seems to be others who are different colors. They seem to be called Power Rangers. At least we have a term for what this device I made turns me into." He said as he flipped a few switches then moved to stand in front of the device. He nodded and his friend hit a switch to activate it, demorphing him back to his normal form.
"Want me to send you back to college?" His friend asked.
"Nah, I think I'll rest here. Then later I can use the transporter later. Oh the reminds me. Best tell him to use the hologram and drive himself back here." The former gold ranger said.
-
Eric smirked and looked at the others.
"Well, I have to say we make one heck of a team."
He said.
"It's gonna be fun working with you."
He added, pulling out a coin and flipping it as he stood there...
-
Just after the battle was really over, Canis replied to what Patrick said, his helmet covering the fact that he was frowning. - "You have your knowledge and your talents, well, I got my knowledge and my talents too." - he then went where Saba and Tracy are. - "Don't feel bad Saba, I have seen enough to know you are right."
After he was also teleported with the others to the Command Center, and after hearing Zordon's words, he commented - "Zordon, it is an honour to be chosen by you to help in the fight against Lords Zedd and Rita." - he then morphed back to his human form, he smiled after seeing that the morphing made no issues with his holobelt, as he saw his hands and they look human, of course making no comments about that. But he did say to the others. - "I am also ready for the next battle, you can count on me everybody."
-
Patricks comments were made out of ignorance' Saba replied " i have nothing to feel bad about, as I have only limited emotional abilities in any event.. The Rangers powers are created by magic, whether he believes in it, or not, it does not matter. Magic exists otherwise your powers would not exist..
-
"Let's watch something on dvd while we research power rangers." The former gold ranger said walking into another room.
"Then we'll both know." The other person said.
-
"Don't ever teleport me here against my will Alf-Alpha." Patrick said to the robot after he demorphed. he walked up to Zordon. "Save the lectures, I'll get enough of those in collage." Patrick said as he turned to walk away.
" Like I told them. I'm not much of a people person, but when you need my help and you will call me. However it better be important." Patrick told the floating head. "So are you going to send us back, or keep us here to be your personal strike force, cause I don't see any kind of living quarters, plus I got things to do." Patrick told Zordon.
-
"Oh, I'm sorry," Alpha replied. "Zordon wanted to speak with you again."
Rob was now getting tired of Patrick's attitude. "Patrick, that's enough," he interjected. "The whole point of this is that we are a team now. You have to understand, none of us asked for this to happen, but it did anyway. Sure I may have thought about what it would be like to be a Power Ranger, but I never actually asked to be one. Zordon chose us for a reason, which means there is a reason why you were chosen as well. You may not want to admit it, but you were obviously destined to be a ranger, as we all were."
"You should listen to your friend," Zordon suggested. "While I may be here to alert you of danger and tell you what to do, I am not lecturing you, Patrick. I am only offering you guidance, which I know you have needed throughout your life. I know it must have been difficult to go through life without your parents, and I understand you have wanted to get even with Goldar for a long time now, but that's in the past now. This is your chance to start a new life and make it right again."
Rob looked back at Patrick, as he now understood why he was such a loner kind of person. Now it makes sense. He still hasn't gotten over their deaths. That must have been really harsh. I really wish there was a way I could help him.
-
Alright Patrick I've had ebnough of your loser attitude! Tracy snapped. " i'm sorry you lost your parents, but that doesn't give you a right to be an asshat! We are a team whether you like it or not, Zordon here is our guide and counseller and you asre going to listen to him, like the rest of us. You may not believe in magic but it exists, otherwise how do you explain our powers? And these powers aren't ours to use as we see fit, they are a trust. Zordon can take them away if he feels you are not using them properly or not being a team player.We all have personal issues to deal with in our lives Patrick, but you are putting yours above the consideration the rest of us deserve.Either you shape up, or we'll find someone better suited to be a team player..
-
"Another Thing, I don't have any friends, I don't need any friends, and I don't want any friends." Patrick said, angry that zordon Brought up his parents.
"How dare you!" Patrick said as he marched up to Zordon. "You have any Idea what I went through, what it was LIKE?!" Patrick said as he slammed his hands on the consul. "It happened on my birthday, October seventh, 1993. My mom and I were on our way to pick up my dad. He had just secured an exclusive defense contract with the pentagon. We were coming out when I saw Goldar, he was gigantic. I was so scared I ran back inside. I wish I didn't cause as soon as My Parents ran in after me, the building collapsed." Patrick said as he turned to face the others. "I was trapped in there for hours surrounded by the smell of death and decay. I cried for my parents, but no one heard me. When Rescue workers dug me out, I saw why." Patrick said as he looked down again. " My parents shielded me with their bodies, But in doing so sacrificed their own lives ." Patrick finished, looking up at Zordon. "Where were the power rangers then. Why didn't they save my parents!" Patrick demanded.
"Now I say for the last time, send me back, now." Patrick demanded, he was not in any mood for any of Zordon' s Guidance.
-
fine, leave if you want, but then you'll lose your powers, because i will not put up with having an insufferable jerk as a teammate Tracy replied gettimg angrier at Patrick . ' i'm sorry your parents died like that patrick, but i don't think they'd want you to behave like this.
-
Eric looked over, then causally got up, walked over to Patrick, punching him in the face and sending him sprawling.
"You stupid Jackass! How dare you disrespect Zordon, when he's done nothing but give you a chance to protect people, and all you do is throw it back in his face? I understand your issues, I really do! My mother died when a monster attacked, and, unlike you, my father didn't even care enough to try to protect me! So if you want to go, then just go! Stop whining about it, and make up your mind! Either stay, and help there be no more orphans like you, or just leave, and change nothing."
He said, eyes narrowed, his hand shaking...
-
The moment everybody started yelling, Rob knew he had to do something. Panicking, he shot his head back at Zordon, who didn't speak but simply nodded. Rob nodded back and ran in the middle of the commotion "THAT'S ENOUGH GUYS! Fighting amongst ourselves is not going to accomplish anything except make it easier for Zedd and Rita to win! If we don't pull together and learn how to work together, we'll lose Earth to them indefinitely!" Rob looked at Tracy and Eric. "I see where you two are coming from, but just remember than he's not over his parents yet. Just take it easy on him." He walked over and helped Patrick up. "Patrick, I hate to say it, but they're right. You have to control your emotions and your feelings about your parents. You're right, none of us save Eric will know what it was like to lose our parents the way you did, but pushing us away like this is not going to help the pain. I'm not going to tell you to stay on the team, because your have the power to make up your own mind. I just want to let you know that you will have the ability to stop what happened to you from happening to anybody else again."
Zordon didn't want to say anything towards the situation. He smiled a bit as he knew Rob was doing the best he could, and he was saying the right words. He felt proud that he chose him to be the leader of the group.
Alpha kind of shuddered behind the console, not wanting to get caught up in the heat of the moment. He hoped that everybody was going to be okay after today.
-
Tracy looked at rob ' look, rob i know you are trying to be a peacemaker, but i'm putting my foot down. we cannot have a member of the team unwilling to take direction or leadership from Zordon..
-
Patrick stood up and walked towards Eric. " Look I know what I signed on for, but I got a meeting with my probation Officer today, so unless you want me to teleport here wearing prison scrubs, then let me be on my merry way." Patrick said as he pushed them aside. Patrick then looked at the watch-like device on his wrist. "wonder how this works." Patrick said as he pushed a button. Patrick then vanished in a streak of yellow light.
Patrick stumbled as he saw he was back at the still abandoned collage. "Works for me." Patrick said as he turned to walk away. Patrick headed to the parking lot where William rushed towards him and embraced him. " I saw the the news and rushed here as soon as I can are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah, nothing to worry about William." Patrick assured his butler.
-
Rob shook his head out of frustration. "He's going to be tough to deal with," he muttered. He then turned back to Tracy. "I know he's arrogant and a jerk, but I feel like we can still break through to him somehow. Let's just give him some space for now."
"Your words were quite admirable," Zordon complimented.
"I just kind of said what came to my mind. He just seems really stubborn."
"Patrick has a terrible past," Zordon agreed, "but I sense he has a pure heart. He will come around eventually."
"Aye yae yae," Alpha groaned. "Young emotions, so hard to deal with." The group laughed at the robot's complaint, and Rob looked back up to Zordon.
"Thank you for trusting us with this Zordon. We won't let you down."
"I know you wont," Zordon replied. "You all have great strength within you. Even Patrick will prove to be a valuable asset to the team."
"If he doesn't kill us out of his rage first," Rob muttered. He shrugged it off and looked at the device around his wrist. "So I'm assuming we just push one of these buttons to get out of here?"
"That is correct," Alpha confirmed. He walked over to show him how to work the device. "You push this button to teleport to and from the Command Center. You push this button here to communicate with the other rangers."
"You mean we can talk to each other with these things?" Rob asked.
"Affirmative!" Alpha replied.
-
Canis stepped forward and said. - "Well, I really hope Patrick will come back, if he was chosen to be a Ranger, then that means he'll do the right thing." - He then began looking at his device on his wrist. - "This device is indeed very useful, I'd like to take a deeper look on it. But I guess we should come back, before all students realize we are not there and began making some wild guesses that we are the Power Rangers." - He stepped forward and bowed to Zordon and Alpha. - "It has been an honour to meet you." - and he then looked at the other Rangers. - "see you around guys." - and he pressed the button that teleported him back to the college.
He arrived and he was alone, nobody saw him teleport there. He then began walking and saw Patrick at the distance. He sighed and began walking to the college using another route. At that moment, he thought that he cannot really understand how Patric and Eric feel, as he still has his parents and family... but they are away, far far away... for the sake of his safe stay on Earth, Canis cannot contact them.
The colllege was a mess, there are some damage made by the putties and Goldar's attacks. "It could have been worse." - he commented for himself as he was looking at the place.
-
John drove back to the college, deciding to do that instead of beaming in, to save power and to be less conspicuous then if he beamed in. He parked in another of the spots where he usually parked and got out. He decided to walk around a bit to see what the damage was to the college.
-
Tracy pressed the communicator and demorphed she pressed another button and teleported back to the college " Best go blend in with the others.. heres and there were holes blasted in the ground by putty attacks.. Tracy hoped no one would notice the teleporter on her worst She could say it was just a watch she had brought.. to her surprise a clock face appeared over the communicator she pressed it and it flipped over. she popressed it again and it flipped back ' cool, so these communicators also can double as watches.. very clever..
-
Eric snapped a jaunty two-fingered salute to Zordon and Alpha.
"Well, I should be getting back. See you later!"
He said, teleporting back onto campus, his bag next to him. He picked it up and started off to check the damage, when he almost ran into someone.
"Oh! Erm.. excuse me, sir."
He said, noticing the man's faculty badge. According to it, the man was Doctor Cranston. He was tall, with short, sandy-blonde hair and piercing blue eyes behind a set of thin-framed glasses. He chuckled a little.
"That's alright. I'm Dr. Cranston. Nice to meet you...?"
Eric smiled a little.
"Eric Murotake. First-year. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
He said nervously...
-
Bulk and Skull returned from their walk to survey the damage " geez Bulky Sure brings back nightmares about high school.. " What the huge holes in the ground, those putty things, or the knowledge that somewhere out there evil freaks want to take over this planet?"
How about all three? Say if we meet up with thoise Power Rangers again, maybe we could well.. ask if we could join their team? Skull said. " Skull did you get hit upside the head? US , join the Power Rangers? " yeah, Bulk we'd be superheros.. " Sskull you were never good at keeping secrets.. and superheros have to be good at that..
-
After a quick change into a black tank top, shorts and some sweat bands, Patrick was off to do community Service. This time He was scheduled to pick up trash in Angel Grove Park. When he got there, he saw the Statues of all the different Power Ranger teams who defended Angel Grove. " Hey, stop gawking and get to work." Said Marcus, his Probation officer. Patrick did just that. "Look at them Marcus, So sleek, so Powerful, so Perfect. Like Gods made flesh, of course any sensible gods would demand Tribute, or absolute Obedience. But no, Our Power Rangers keep us and protect us with no strings attached. Yet Angel Grove and the world still worships them anyway." Patrick said, Bending down to pick up a soda can.
-
Rob watched as the other rangers teleported out of the Command Center. He began to reach for the button when Zordon spoke. "Wait just a second, Rob. I wish to speak with you."
"Okay," Rob said as he turned around and faced Zordon. "What is it?"
"I wanted to let you know that your words for Patrick and the others held great merit," Zordon started. "You spoke with great confidence, even knowing that your friends might not have agreed with you. Such traits can only be found in a true leader."
"Thanks, Zordon," Rob replied, "but I'm not so sure about this whole thing."
"What do you mean?" Alpha asked.
"Do I really deserve to be the leader?" Rob questioned. "I know you believe in destiny and all, but is it really mine to lead the Power Rangers, let alone be one?"
"I understand your doubts," Zordon sympathized, "but I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself and your abilities."
"But what if I can't do it," Rob asked. "Goldar threw me around back there. What if I'm not strong enough to stop Rita and Zedd?"
"It was only your first encounter against Goldar," Zordon explained. "You have not fully developed with your powers, but I promise you will in time."
"There will be many more battles against Goldar," Alpha added. "I'm sure with each one you will grow stronger."
"I don't know," Rob sighed. "I just don't want to let anybody down."
"Do not stress so much on the subject," Zordon replied. "I have full faith that you make an excellent Power Ranger and an excellent leader."
"Thanks, Zordon," Rob nodded, feeling a little better. "I should head back to the school and make sure everybody's okay."
"Very well, and may the power protect you," Zordon bid farwell. Alpha waived as well as Rob pushed the button on his communicator and teleported out of the Command Center and back to the college.
-
"Could be worst." John said as he walked along, walking around the campus with no real goal in mind till he had walked around a bit. He wondered how often the place would get attacked till they finally defeated those folks. He guessed it may take a while, but who knows how long.
-
After a couple of Hours, Patrick had finished his Community Service for the day. "OK Marcus, I'll see you later. Patrick said as he left the park and saw William waiting by the car with the door open. Patrick got in, and William could already tell he was not in a mood to talk. Patrick looked at the weird looking watch and pushed a button that turned it into a regular digital watch. Patrick was still insulted that the other rangers seemed ticked at his choice to be a sort-of part timer. They just didn't understand why he was so adamantly opposed to working with a team, the last team he was a part of ended in tragedy, death, and unknown to him, Betrayal.
-
Rob walked around as he noticed the damage the Putties had caused to the campus. Already it seemed like work was being done to repair it, but he realized it would take some time before the campus was fully fixed. "Unbelievable," he muttered to himself. "I can't believe they caused all of this destruction." He noticed that a lot of the students were still a bit shaken from the attack, but none were hurt. As Rob walked into the cafeteria, he noticed on a TV screen a news reporter was talking about the Power Rangers. Rob walked closer to the screen and sat at a table in front of it to get a better look at it.
"It seems as though a new group of superheros has emerged today. Reports say that Angel Grove College was attacked today, but the college was saved by a group named the "Power Rangers". Witnesses report that the source of the attack is none other than the evil Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, who have attacked Angel Grove before years ago. Now it seems like they have returned, but thankfully so have the "Power Rangers. We will bring you any and all updates to this story as soon as we get them."
Rob was amazed that word had gotten out already about them, but he was more relieved that their identities weren't revealed at all. "Angel Grove has dealt with them enough. I hope we can stop Zedd and Rita once and for all." He then got up and went to get something to eat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Zedd continued to monitor Rob's movements from his base. "Ah, the boy has doubts about his status as a Power Ranger, does he? Well we can certainly fix that!"
"Let me go down," Goldar begged. "I will make quick work of that brat my evil one!"
"Patience, Goldar," Zedd replied. "You will get your chance very soon. First we must think about our plan!" Zedd paced back to his throne, laughing. "We'll lure him away from the other rangers, and force him to fight the Putties alone! Then, Goldar, you will go down and finish him for good!"
"Yes, my lord!" Goldar agreed. "I'll destroy the red ranger after he's been weakened by the Putties!" Then he thought for a second before speaking again. "What if we took him to my dungeon! His friends would not be able to interfere with our battle!"
"An excellent suggestion," Zedd agreed. "Prepare the Putties at once!"
"It shall be done!" Goldar bowed and left to prepare the Putties.
-
"Yes," Rita said, "strengthen his self doubt, not being sure of himself. That'll weaken him, and with him gone the rest of the rangers." Rita said, laughing briefly.
-
Patrick sighed as he decided to head back to the collage. Even though he hated the Idea, he had a feeling Red needed a pick-me-up. "Back to the Collage William, I got somethings to take care of. "Of course Master Patrick." The butler said. After he got to the campus, he first headed to the dean's office to drop off a blank check to pay for the damages caused by these monsters. Even if they didn't know it, Patrick was determined to help repair any damages these freaks caused. It would be a huge tax write off, and the city might want to purchase his weapons to arm police to better protect the people from those monsters.
After this was done, Patrick searched the campus till he found Rob. "Keep the change." He said as he flipped the bill for Rob's meal. "You and I talk, now." He insisted as he found an empty table. Leaning forward, he stared at Rob. "Your new status carries not only responsibilities, but also risks. Our adversaries will no doubt target you to weaken the rest of us, so as much as I hate to do it, I'm going to be watching your back for awhile." He said. "also I want you to tell Mr. Blue if he ever hits me again, he'll eat everything through a straw." Patrick told Rob.
-
Canis kept oon walking the corridors of the school, he saw Rob and Patrick in the Cafeteria, he sighed and then he kept walking, making his way, he found some stairs, making sure nobody was watching him, he made his way up to the rooftop of the main building. The breeze was soft, the new Power Ranger looked for a spot in that lonely place, he found a shadowed place and sat down there, the in the floor, and got a book out of his backpack. - "Universal History" - he said with a smile. - "... what an inadecuate name." - Nevertheless, he began reading some more of it, it is part of his visit to know the basic of Humanity's history, even though he is not interested to become an expert, he must know some of the past of this race so he could try to understand them better.
-
"Mr. Blue has a name," Rob replied. "If we're going to succeed as a team, we have to put our differences aside and learn to work together." Rob sighed as he didn't want to lecture Patrick. He wasn't sure if Patrick was being sincere with his words or not as he told him he was going to keep an eye on him, but it really seemed like there was a good heart inside Patrick, even if it was covered by this lone wolf shell. "Look, I'm sorry for lecturing you. I really appreciate what you're doing here. I just don't want to let everybody down. I've never been given such a huge responsibility like this, and now that I think about it, I'm scared to death. I always dreamed as a kid of being a Power Ranger; I just never expected to actually become one."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zedd laughed with Rita. "Yes my queen! With the red ranger out of the way, the rest of them will have no one to lead, and they shall fall under our power! Once the rangers have all been destroyed, the world will be ours!" His red visor glowed bright as he laughed devilishly. Goldar then walked in.
"The Putties are ready, my lord!"
"Excellent, Goldar!" Zedd replied. "The time has almost come to spring our trap. Soon, we shall lure Rob away and attack him!"
-
"Yes, and then imagine where we can go and do." Rita said laughing with Zedd.
---------------------------
John went to the casual lounge area of the college / university to sit and wait till the time for his class would come next.
-
" I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you. There will be times you fail, you will be defeated, you will make mistakes but you your not the first leader to go through this. Every leader must first defeat their own self doubt, either you master your own fears or they will master you. All battles are first won in the mind. our enemies will use every trick they have to weaken your confidence. But you need to block it out and power on through. Don't expect to win, don't expect to lose. Expect nothing. I'm telling this to you because you can't think about victory without also considering it' s opposite, defeat." He explained to Rob. "And thinking about defeat distracts the mind from doing what needs to be done in order to win, that is what ever your obligations are, because one who abandons their obligations is already defeated." The new yellow ranger explained to his team mate.
-
Bulk and Skull had headed back to thier dorm for the evening. " The room was a mess bbecause neither of them were particularly good housekeepers..
-
Rob never expected this from Patrick, but then again he had only known him for a short period of time. He was happy to see that Patrick did genuinely care about his fears, even if it was for the slightest bit. Rob let Patrick's words sink in a bit and then nodded. "Thanks Patrick. I'm glad you're part of the team." Rob looked around and noticed many students and professors still trying to cope with the recent attack. "Well it looks like classes aren't going to resume any time soon. I think I'm gonna go walk around and see what's off campus. You want to come?"
-
Patrick scoffed at rob's gratitude. "Don't think I'm doing this to be nice boyscout, I just don't want to listen to your pesamestic attitude." The new yellow ranger said. "As for coming with you, sure but should find the others. If we stay together, we will be less likely to be picked off one at a time." Patick said, his tone indicating his distaste for the very Idea. "But watch your back around that Canis, something about him just seems off. Don't you think he knows too much for some rookie who got drafted for a interplanetary feud?" Patrick sugested. "So, any Idea how to round up our little band of super friends?" Patrick asked in a synical tone as he crossed his arms.
-
John briefly stretched and briefly looked around. He was curious what the others were doing, but guessed they were all around doing their own things. He guessed he would likely find out eventually. He considered a quick walk around, as part of an exercise and something to do since he had no homework assignments to do, and had already done his reading.
-
Eric stepped out of his classroom and sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Gah...I hate calculus. Why did I ever sign up for that?"
He said, grabbing a cigarillo from his pocket...
-
Tracy had returned to campus as well, nd was walking around exming the mess the putties hd caused, which was considerable. " there will be no science classes for awhile" She said to herself as she walked on down the path..
-
Rob ignored Patrick's first comment as he somewhat expected him to act like that. Maybe someday I'll break through to him. In response to Patrick's question about Canis, Rob shrugged his shoulders. "He didn't seem that strange to me. I mean we've all heard stories about the Power Rangers before. Maybe he just heard more stories than us." Rob didn't want to say that Patrick was being paranoid, considering this was probably one of very few chances for them to have a civil conversation together. In response to gathering everybody else, Rob had an idea. "Well we could do it the hard way, which would be walking all over campus to find them, or we can do it the easy way." Rob looked around to make sure nobody was watching. He then leaned in towards his communicator and pressed the button. "Hey guys, if you can here this, Patrick and I are gonna take a walk off campus for a bit. Any of you want to come along, meet us outside. See you in a bit." He then looked at Patrick. "Shall we?" He then stood up and proceeded to head outside.
-
Patrick sighed. "whatever he said as he followed Rob. Another reason Patrick was doing this, and he doubted Rob would like it, was to use Rob as 'Goldar bait' to get at that alien freak. " Also remind me to Grafiti Zordon's tube. that floating head freak had no right to blab about my past." Patrick said to Rob. Patrick was suspicious of this Zordon freak. He obviously had some tech that, in the right HUMAN hands, could give mankind the power to take control of their own fates. Patrick also wondered what other secrets this Zordon was hiding them, he needed answers, and possibly insurrance to enssure Zordon stayed on the side of the angels, as he said he was. However that could wait. The task at hand was to meet up with the rest of the rangers. Another question in Patrick's Briliant mind, who was that 'Gold' Ranger, but that could wait as well.
Meanwhile on the Moon, Rito wanted in on the latest plan. "Come on Ed, let me help, please please please!" He begged.
-
Canis was reading his book, he couldn't avoid watching at the many wars that have been fought. - "Maybe Sirians and Humans aren't that different after all... but we stopped killing each other centuries ago." - he said, but then he watched everywhere, nobody was there. - "... maybe I shoudl stop talking to myself like this." - but before he nagged himself about that, his communicator beeped, he listened to Rob's message and replied. - "I will be there in a couple of minutes." - he clicked a button to end the conversation, stored the book with his other books in his backpack and stood up. Wondering what will that 'Ranger meeting' be about he began going down the stairs, back to the first floor.
-
John decided to head to the gym area of the university and work out a bit as he did on a regular bases. Then maybe he'd go get a snack, or something at the nearby hang out afterwards.
He went to his room to get ready to go to the gym then headed there to start his work out.
-
Eric's communicator beeped as he got Rob's message.
"Sure thing. Sounds like fun. Meetcha in a few."
He said, adjusting his bag as he headed off...
-
While he followed Rob, Patrick decided to try and talk battle plans. " We should be taking the fight to Zedd and Rita, not sitting around and waiting for them to attack. Or even better, we smash the floating head's tbe and destroy both threats to earth." Patrick said, he intentionally said bioth threats bcause as far as he was concerned, Zordon was no better than Zedd. Zordon should of had their predicessers taking the battle to the enemy insted of waiting for the fight to come to them. Lives could of been saved, like his parents. " Despite what you and the other sell outs think, I am not a selfish jerk, in fact I created a foundation to help victams and the families of victams of monster attacks get back on there feet, someone had to, especiallysince Zordon doesn't care about the little guys those monsters step on. He only cares about his stupid privite war with Zedd and Rita. He's just as bad as they are." Patrick explained coldly.
-
"We're not sell outs," Rob defended himself and the others, "and you're being brash and unreasonable. What exactly do you think would happen if we went to Zedd and Rita's base? We have no idea what's up there, and its their home turf. We'd be walking into a trap. Besides, if Zordon's tube was already smashed before, yet he is still here as well as Zedd and Rita, then there's no point in doing it again. For all we know, destroying Zordon't tube wouldn't affect Zedd and Rita at all, and we would be done for." He didn't want to start lecturing at this point, but Patrick was going way out of line at this point. "
Zordon is not a threat to us or the world. Why do you think he chose us to be Power Rangers? He wants us to protect the Earth from evil! I get that your pissed about your parents' deaths, but you can't let that blind you from the fact that the world needs us now, and if we don't work together we will lose!" Rob had a feeling none of this was breaking through to him, but he at least needed to hear himself say it.
"As much as you want to believe it, it's not Zordon's fault your parents are dead. Zedd and Rita are responsible. Why do you hate him so much?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zordon observed as Patrick and Rob argued over their roles as Power Rangers, and he sighed. "Patrick is troubled indeed."
"That's putting it mildly!" Alpha complained. "He's so caught up with revenge that he's becoming selfish!"
"You must understand," Zordon reminded, "that losing a parent is the worst experience any human can face. Patrick lost both parents because of Zedd and Rita, and now this is his chance for revenge. While he has no control over his emotions, I sympathize with him."
"So what do we do about it?" Alpha asked.
"Patrick will continue to hold a grudge against us and the Power Rangers," Zordon explained. "In time, we will have to find a way to break through to him. I sense there is still a good person hidden beneath all that rage."
"I hope you're right," Alpha replied.
-
Rita was watching through her telescope. "oooh, it looks like at least 2 of the rangers are arguing. So they are not all best friends like the previous ones were. That should make them easier to divide and conquer, if done in the right manner." Rita said, talking aloud and thinking to herself also.
"Perhaps divide more of the team if they take sides and or have them fighting each other even." Rita said smiling at the idea.
-
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, which is literally translated as Who will guard the guards themselves?" Patrick explained to rob. "Zordon answers to no one when he screws up, and he does." Patrick told the new red ranger. " How many people were caught in the cross fire of those giant robot fights, alot. How much did it cost the city to rebuild after those fights and the invasion of '98, alot. How many people lived in fear of giant monsters and robots, alot." Patrick said. "it doesn't matter who's fault it was, both sides are just as dangerous to this planet, Zordon might be the lesser of the two, but he is still a lose cannon who's so arrogent and paranoid, he won't trust the Elected, accountable, HUMAN leaders with the power and the technology to protect our world. That's why I hate him, He's just another alien trying to control earth's fate. Besides, earth got along just fine after he was gone. I doubt you'd belive that I helped a team of Power rangers before."
-
thats quite enough Patrick, you have obvious issues with zordon.. so why not give up your spot on the teeam, so we can find someone more willing to be a team player" tracy sad She had come up when she had seen the others and had caught much of the conversation. 'You are saying Zordon is no better than Zedd, when without his assistence Earth would have been conquered and enslaved many times over, if not outright destroyed. I get you have issues about your parents deaths, but you should blame Rita and Zedd for that. Zordon is not all-powerful Patrick, there are things he cannot control. and he has to live with the mistakes he has made, like the rest of us, he just has a much longer life than we do, so the mistakes may be more numerous just by virtue of his longer existence But if you are unwilling to trust him, and us, just turn in your morpher to Rob, so we can have Zordon pick someone else. I will not be teammates with someone who is unwilling to get past his own anger and issues and be a part of a team.. " tracy finished.
-
Patrick had enough of this chick getting on his case. " Look here you pompuss pink Princess, Do you think I want to be here, I'd rather be helping the pentagon coordinate an global coalition againist Zedd and Rita. And despite what Zordon said, our planet has other means to defend itself besiding some arrogent alien who wouldn't know how to wage war if it was spelled out to him." Patrick told Tracy. " Ever hear of groups Lightspeed Rescue, the silver guardians. And another thing. I can already thing of several alternitives to a walking weapon of mass destruction you call a megazord. Specially designed Aircraft, Ground assault vehicles, and navies. they'd be more effective, and less expensive to produce and maintain, not to mention the fact they'd be harder for those giant monsters to fight than giant robots." Patrick calmly explained.
-
But you're not at the pentagon, and sending those forces into action requires an act f war and weeks if not months of preparation, when an attack by Rita or Zedd could happen in minutes or hours. Trust me, I know enough about our government works, its not speedy or especially efficient, but then again its not designed to be. " Tracy replied. " War is not pretty Patrick Vietnam brought that home only too clear, and our country has little patience for casualities or military reverses. Defeating magical being like Zedd and rita requires other magical beings Patrick. You fire a bomb at their moonbase they can block it. and you can stop being a pompous overbelligerent jerk wheneber you feel like it..
-
"The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is a U.S. federal law intended to restrict the power of the President to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of Congress. The law was adopted in the form of a United States Congress joint resolution; this provides that the President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces."The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war." Patrick Explained. "And I would be qualified to be a consultant in the pentagon if ot for my Probation. Also The war powers act was adopted because OF vietnam." Patrick said.
-
OOC: Part two, sorry but I ran out of room.
"Also our great and Exceptional nation would not fight alone. In fact I bet even Sweden would fight. And any declaration of war would easily pass both the house and senate with a uninanimous, BI-partisan support and the UN would do the same." Patrick explained. "Aliens like Zedd and Zordon both undereistimate earth." Patrick told Tracy.
"Furthermore, there is no such thing as magic. Zedd and Rita are clearly using Alien Technology that is so advanced, our feble minds dissmiss it as magic. Also as for me acting like a jerk. Well Two of the most evil 'Non-Magicial' Alien freaks in the history of earth have returned from the dead. declared war by attacking earth, and the rest of you trusting and worshiping an alien head we just met today, well forgive my insensitive behavior." Patrick said in a sarcastic tone.
-
"There is no guarantee the Pentagon's attacks will be a success nor there will be no victims of crossfire..." - Canis said as he reached the group. - "... but I agree they might be an asset against this enemy, as they think we are the only ones who can stop them." - That last part was an attempt to try to reassure all parts of the discussion. As Canis is not fully familiarized with Earth's weaponry, he knows Earth's people cannot remain with their arms crossed.
-
Zedd laughed as he watched with Rita. "This is perfect! We can use this to our advantage. The yellow ranger is filled with hate and lust for revenge! We can use that to turn him against the other rangers, and with his help we will rule the world!" He then turned to Goldar and Rito. "You two take the Putties down there! Remain hidden until they are at a vulnerable point, and then ambush them!" He looked at Goldar specifically. "Make sure you grab the Red Ranger and teleport him to your dungeon!"
"It will be done my lord!" Goldar bowed. In a flash, he, Rito and the Putties disappeared in a flash of light.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, Tracy and Patrick were just not getting along at all. Rob could see why Tracy was getting upset about Patrick, but they still needed to learn to work together. "Guys, calm down!" Rob tried to settle the argument. "All of this isn't going to help us at all. I know you two can't stand each other, but Zordon chose ALL of us for a reason. Like it or not, we have to learn to work together because WE are the only hope Earth has of surviving Rita and Zedd's invasion!"
-
Eric walked over to the group, cigarillo dangling out of the corner of his mouth.
"As much as I dislike it, Rob's right. We were picked for a reason. And you know something, Patrick? I doubt that any conventional weapon short of a nuke could even hurt those monsters. Alien technology, Magic...whatever it is, it seems like the only thing that really works is the Megazords. Whether it be because they're the same tech or because magic is the only way to fight magic, I don't think that any military in the world could stop one of those things."
He said coldly...
-
Canis leaned his back against a nearby wall. - "If we have the strenght to defeat these enemies, then we must learn to use it. Who knows? maybe someday, some of the knowledge Zordon, Zedd and Rita possess would eventually get in our hands, so Earth can truly protect itself against anything." - He then looked at Eric as he passes close to him and then, Canis sneezed. - "I hope you don't smoke too much Eric... sorry, I am just not a fan of cigarretes." - he said the last line not wanting to sound like he wants to give a lecture or anything like that.
-
Patrick glared at Eric. " Your forgetting chemical and Biological weapons. Besides, groups like Silver guardians used weapons that were fairly effective. Also the megazords are big and can be a liability as well as an asset." Patrick retorted. He then grabbed the ciggerillo and stomped on it before throwing it in an ash ray. "I don't tolerate smoking, and you better kick the habbit if you want to be a ranger; a ranger with lung Cancer is usless." Patrick said.
Rito waited with goldar, he was getting impatiant. "Come on lets get them goldie." He whispered to his cohort.
-
"Yes, he'll have some fun with him in his dungeon." Rita said smiling at the idea and laughing a bit. "And we can indeed use the yellow ranger's hate. Hate is so easy to manipulate & use if done correctly." She said. Rita laughed a bit at the idea of what they would do and that they would soon conquer the world and rule it. Then she went back to watching so she could see the event happen.
-
Eric chuckled and calmly reached into his bag.
"While the silver guardians tech was effective, it had the drawback of being extremely costly and difficult to mass produce, not to mention that in no fashion was it as effective as the Rangers gear."
He retorted, pulling out a sucker.
"And also, I'll smoke if I want to. Got that?"
He said icily...
-
Rob couldn't think of anything to say. He had hoped that this little walk would bring out some constructive conversation amongst his fellow rangers, but everybody was getting put off by Patrick's attitude. Even though he didn't really care for smoking either, he wasn't going to force Eric to quit if he didn't want to, but Rob didn't want to bring this up in front of Patrick. He sighed and placed his hand on his forehead in mild frustration. How am I supposed to lead this group if they can't stand each other? Maybe Zordon was wrong after all. Maybe I'm not meant to lead anybody. When they arrived at a park nearby, Rob felt like he had to say something to try and quell the group's dislike for each other. "Look everybody. I know we all have our differences right now. I know we don't all like each other. I understand everybody has either dealt with something terrible or is dealing with hard times now. As much as I want for us to be one happy group of friends, I can see that it won't come so easily." He really hated preaching to people, especially those that he didn't know very well, but at this point he had to try something. "Isn't there some way we can all put our differences aside and work together through this?"
"Allow me!" Rob spun around as Goldar, Rito, and a number of Putties appear from behind some trees. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important!" Goldar sneered.
"Didn't learn your lesson the first time?" Rob mocked.
"Foolish humans!" Goldar yelled. "You were lucky last time we met, but you won't be so fortunate this time!" He raised his sword and pointed it towards the group. "Putty Patrol! Attack!"
"Spread out!" Rob yelled as the Putties began to swarm around them. Rob quickly shuffled over to the side and dropped into a defensive stance. "This day just keeps getting better and better," he muttered. As one Putty threw a wild punch to the side, Rob blocked and followed through with a strong elbow to the chest. The Putty staggered back and Rob pursued with a hop-side kick, launching it to the ground.
-
"What can I say? some people are slow learners." - Canis put on a defensive stance too as he smirked. One putty tried to attack him, but Canis dodged the attack by moving to a side, he then took advantage of the moment to grab the Putty's arm and to throw him against another adversary that was approaching. He then gave a quick look at the others, hoping they would be doing fine.
-
Eric smirked, kicking one of the putties aside with ease.
"Geeze, you guys really aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. C'mon, even a fool can learn, but you guys..."
He chuckled, spin-kicking through them with ease...
-
Feeling a bit hungry John was on his way to a nearby juice bar area to get something to eat. He was on his motorcycle since the day seemed nice enough to not use his car. He was using his motorcycle, an electric type he had found online. He thought he saw something not to far off out of the corner of his vision and slowed to a stop to look in that direction to get a better view.
-
Patrick sneered at the sight of the two monsters. "You are either stupid, or suicidal." Patrick said as he started to fight. Patrick saw the others spread out. His gut was telling him the freaks wanted to seperate the rangers from Rob. Patrick tried to stay close to rob. "They're trying to split us up!" He shouted, kicking a puttie into a bush. The Patrick got kicked to the ground by another putty, only to recover by tripping his attacker up with a low spining kick. Patrick saw a putty about to strike Tracy. Patrick rushed to her aid and tackled the putty to the ground. Rito snickered " Take this!" He souted as he fired a bolt towards Tracy and Patrick. "Hit the dirt Princess!" Patrick shouted as he threw the putty into into the bolt's path before tackling Tracy to the ground and sheilding her. Patrick groaned. "Ok, freak I'm gonna to have to teach you some manners, first you never strike a lady." Patrick shouted as charged at Rito.
-
(you don't need to triple post Rock)
First , don't call me princess, thats a cliche and a negative stereotype' Tracy said, getting off the ground quickly.." It implies I can't defend myself, that I need some rescuer to free me. Do i look like Princess Peach?' She snapped, knocking a putty back against a tree..
-
John parked his motorcycle and went over to where the commotion seemed to be going on so he could get a better look and to see if his help would be needed or not. He walked at a fast pace, but not at an unusual pace so as not to draw any attention to himself.
-
Patrick engaged rito in a one on one fight. Patrick was about to kick rito into a tree when some putties grabbed him. " Now this is how I like my mights, unfair!" He laughed as he threw his sword to the ground and started to punch Patrick in the gut. "not so tough alone are ya?" Rito mocked. "The real power rangers were never this easy to beat, that's cause they worked together." The skeleton gloated. " I wish all rangers were like you, lone wolfs with attitudes, it makes this job so much easier and more fun!" He said as he knocked Patrick to the ground. The two putty's released him as Rito lifted Patrick up. "What, no back talk, no insults, come on say something." Rito mockingly said as he held Patrick by the neck.
-
Rob continued to kick Putties left and right to the side. Patrick was right, it seemed like they were trying to separate them from each other, but he wasn't sure why. "Try to stay together guys!" he yelled out, but this distracted him as a Putty kicked him square in the chest. Rob staggered back and countered with a jump kick to the head. He spun around and blocked an incoming punch and threw a reverse side kick. Rob then noticed that Patrick was being held by Rito. Rob ran up to the two yelled out, "Let him go bonehead!"
Goldar kept circling the area, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. He kept his eye on Rob as he watched the human run towards Rito. "Everything is working according to plan," he muttered to himself.
-
Once John got closer he saw what was going on. He watched from behind a tree thinking what to do next.
He picked up a small rock and tossed it gently at one of the puddies that was a bit apart from the others. It rubbed it's head and looked around and then up to see what it could be then to see if anyone was close enough who could have tapped it.
-
Eric smirked, kicking one of the Putties aside into a tree, but before he could open his mouth to say anything witty, he was struck in the back by another putty, stumbling forward before recovering and kicking it aside...
-
"whatever you say." Rito laughed as he threw Patrick at rob. Patrick felt as he collided with rob and both of them landed on the ground. Patrick slowly got up, coughing for air as he helped rob up. "Rob, I don't care what Zordon said, I'm morphing so I can give jack skeleton's stupid brother overthere a good old American beating!" He shouted. As soon as he was on his feet, he some knew to flick his wrists to call his morpher. "Zeo ranger two: Yellow!" He said as he soon morphed.
Gone was Patrick Anderson, and in his place stood the yellow zeo ranger. "OK Jolly Rodger, lets dance." He said as he drew his blasters and fired. Rito hollered in pain as fell to the ground. No sooner did he hit the ground that Patrick went on the war path. "Your wanted insults freak!?" He shouted as he kicked Rito while he was down. "Monster, filth, gargbage, you and every other alien freak don't deserve to live. I'm gonna kill you and everyother alien that comes to earth, and I don't care who they are!" He shouted as he continued
-
"Normally I would disagree," Rob commented, "but you're right Patrick. This fight is getting out of hand really quickly." He looked around and yelled out, "Everybody morph!" Rob began to call out his ranger form: "Zeo Ranger Five: Red!" Before he could finish, he felt something lash around his neck and drain his strength. He looked behind him and saw Goldar using his sword to emit some sort of energy beam at him. "What are you doing to me? Let me go!"
"Fool!" Goldar laughed. "You puny humans are so predictable, and now you have fallen into my trap!"
"You won't get away with this!" Rob yelled, but already he could feel every ounce of energy leaving his body, forcing him to kneel to the ground.
"I already have, Red Ranger!" Goldar responded. Laughing one more time, Goldar raised his sword in triumph. In a flash, both he and Rob disappeared from the park.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aye yae yae yae yae!" Alpha yelled. "Goldar has taken Rob! What do we do?"
"Calm down Alpha," Zordon assured. "Goldar has most likely taken Rob to his dungeon, where he will have to face him alone."
"But can Rob defeat him," Alpha asked. "He hasn't been a Power Ranger for too long now."
"Rob may not be fully developed as a Power Ranger," Zordon admitted, "but I have faith that he will conquer obstacle before him. Until then, we must concentrate on the other rangers. Rob will need their help if he means to escape."
"Ooh, this is terrible!" Alpha complained.
-
"Rob, nooo!" Patrick shouted as several putties blocked his way. " Get out of my way." He demanded as he punched his way though the putties. However the new yellow ranger was too late. Within his mind played the image of a exploding warehouse, where his greatest personal failure occured. Patrick watched as the putties vanished. Patrick fell to his hands and knees. It was his fault, he let his anger and obsession for revenge cloud his judgement, now a fellow Ranger, a fellow human was taken by Goldar.
"Rito was just know geting to his feet. " Ha, one down, four to go, or is it five?" He wondered. " No matter, He's in Golddie's dungen, and you can't save him cause it's in another Dimension!" Rito bragged teleporting away, before he realising what he did.
"Back to the command center everyone." Patrick said, taking charge as he teleported away. Patrick reappeared infront of Zordon and alpha. " I'm gonna cut to the chase Alien, How do I get to Goldar's Dungen?" He asked their leader.
-
Eric reappeared in the command center, where he immediately punched the floor.
"Damn it!"
He yelled, continuing to swear and curse the enemies under his breath in Japanese...
-
John seeing what happened and that there was nothing he could do though of having himself transported back home, but decided to instead try sneaking away, leaving the being transported as an option.
He snuck back to where his motorcycle was, glad it was an electric one and not a noisy gas powered type. He started it and drove off, wondering what had happened to Rob and how he would be able to help him.
-
we're all going there Patrick " tracy said firmly. 'yes you share a lot of the blame for being a lone wolf jerk. you have not proven yourself fit to lead from your conduct, therefore I'm taking temporary control of the team until Rob is rescued. you don't like it, too darn bad.' she said, turning to Zordon. "Zordon Patrick has not been a good team member. he considers you no better than Rita or Zedd. I request that I be appointed the temporary leader until Rob is rescued.We cannot afford to waste much time with this, we need to try and rescue him. where did Goldar tajke him? Can you teleport us there?'
-
"Patrick, that is enough!" Zordon boomed. "You are letting your anger get the better of you again. You were unable to keep your emotions and hatred in check, and because of that Rob has been taken by Goldar. I understand you mistrust aliens, but a true Power Ranger learns to put his or her prejudices aside for the sake of the world." He hated venting off like this, but Patrick needed to be called out once and for all. "You have to understand that you are a team, and there is no room for your lone wolf act. If you hadn't tried to go off by yourself, Rob would not have been kidnapped. If you cannot learn these lessons, then you are not worthy of being a Power Ranger!" He then looked over at Tracy. "Tracy, you will act as temporary leader until Rob is rescued. Goldar has taken him to his dungeon realm. Unfortunately, Zedd and Rita have created a dark energy field around it, so we cannot teleport you there. The only way to access it is through Zedd's lair."
"We can't teleport them there!" Alpha complained. "They've only just begun being Power Rangers! They're no match for Rita and Zedd already!"
"I understand your concern," Zordon agreed, "but we may not have a choice. It may be the only way the rangers can save Rob."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rob felt himself land on a hard, cold floor. Smoke swirled around him and along the floor as he slowly pulled himself up. "Where am I?" he wondered. He was surrounded by a frame work of gold poles, green columns and small fire heads on each column. "Hello?" he called out, hoping somebody friendly was here. "Hello!" Unfortunately nobody responded. Rob raised his arm and spoke into his communicator. "Zordon. Zordon, come in!" Yet again, there was no response. "Tracy! Eric! Canis! Patrick!" When nobody responded he dropped his arm and brushed his hair with his hand out of frustration. "Well that's just great. How the heck am I supposed to get out of here?"
"You don't!" Goldar appeared from underneath the smoke and faced Rob. "I have brought you here as a prisoner of Lord Zedd and Empress Rita!" Goldar then raised his sword and blasted energy to the side, revealing Rob's morpher. "Looking for this? Don't even think about it! You will have to face me alone, and without your powers!"
"You're not going to stop me, Goldar!" Rob dropped into a defensive stance, and Goldar tossed his sword aside.
"I will take great pleasure in destroying you!" Goldar lunged for Rob, throwing a punch to his head. Rob hopped back and threw a jump kick, but Goldar easily blocked it and forced him to the ground. Rob rolled to the side and jumped back up, but Goldar was already there. He threw a back-fist to the side of Rob's head and followed through with a side kick. Rob staggered back and recoiled. "There is no chance of victory for you, Rob!" Goldar sneered.
"We'll see about that!" Rob shot back. Unfortuantely, he wasn't sure if he could actually defeat Goldar, especially without his morpher. What am I supposed to do? How can I defeat him if I can't even morph?
-
we really have no choice " tracy replied, inwardly she was dreading facingf Rita and Zedd on thier home turf, igf they did nothing, Rob would either be executed or left to rot. in any event the rangers would be weaker and much easier to defeat unless they got him back..
-
Eric stood up, running a hand through his hair.
"Heh...I'm shaking. Didn't think I'd be so scared of those two..."
He said softly, then pulled something out of his pocket, looking at it.
"But if it's what we have to do, we'll do it. Or at the least, I will."
He added, looking up and grinning cockily...
-
John drove away, heading to the juice place he originally was going to go to. He got his order and went to a booth or table with his drink. He sipped his drink as he thought on how to rescue Rob or where he could be taken, for a few minutes. He then took out his cell phone since talking his friend back home would not look to odd using a cellphone to do so.

Patrick said nothing asd he let what everyone said soak in. They were right. In his heart he always knew they were, he was just to proud to admit it.
As he listioned to the other speak he thought back to what Jeasus preached. A house divided cannot stand. after they were finished he calmly walked up, demorphing and looking at eric. "There is no I in team. I see that now. Your right it is my fault Rob is in danger now, so WE have to rescue him. Patrick said. " An attack on one is an attack on us all. we will save Rob, we will return safely, and this will be the day WE stand together. By taking Rob, Zedd and Rita have sent us a message. That they do whatever they want, and no body can stop them, but we will send them a message. That they can not do what ever they want, that is is our planet, our home, and Rob is our leader. I'm tired of hering how dangerous Their palace is, they had their time to be the biggest and badest, but their time is over, it's done. I'm going, because Rob needs us." Patrick said.
-
After the failure in this last battle, Canis was unable to say anything. - "We must never lose hope, if hope is lost then the Earth will fall... we cannot allow that to happen." - he then smiled after hearing what Patrick said. - "I am going too, Rob is our partner and I bet he'll go rescue any of us if the situation would have been different." - he closed his right fist and punched his left hand while grinning. - "We cannot allow this to happen again, I am with you Patrick."
-
You guys all ready to go/ Tracy said. ' then lets go save rob' she turned to Alpha " Alpha teleport us as close to Zedd's palace as you can.. We'll hasve to find a way into Zedd's palace on our own..
-
Eric smirked, placing a hand out.
"Rangers, then."
He said, smiling at the group...
-
"Before you go, you must understand this," Zordon warned. "Rita and Zedd will most likely expect for you to try and save Rob, so you must be prepared for resistance. You'll have to fight your way down to the lower levels of the lair. That is where Goldar's dungeon is, and that is where you will find Rob. Morph as soon as you land." Zordon took this time to further address the group. "Each of you were chosen to be a Power Ranger for a reason. Remember that you are a team first and a ranger second. Never give up on each other, and make sure you always are there for one another. I have great faith in all of you and know that you will succeed in rescuing Rob." Zordon looked at Patrick when he finished. He was happy that Patrick had learned that his attitude was not helping the group at all. It really seemed like he was willing to put everything aside for the sake of their friend. He didn't say anything; he simply nodded.
"I'm putting the coordinates in now," Alpha alerted. After pushing several buttons, he then turned to the group. "Please be careful up there!" he pleaded.
"May the power protect you," Zordon added. In a flash, the four rangers were teleported away.
"I hope they make it out okay," Alpha prayed.
"Me too," Zordon agreed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why don't you just give up now, red ranger?" Goldar sneered. "It's obvious that you can't defeat me without your powers!"
"Don't count me out just yet, Goldar!" Rob replied. He threw a jump spinning back and followed through with an out-in crescent kick. Goldar staggered back after the first kick but blocked the second. He threw two more punches, hitting Rob square in the chest. Goldar then sweep kicked Rob from his legs, and Rob tumbled down to the ground. He rolled quickly to the side and attempted to stand up, but Gold placed his foot on Rob's chest, keeping him from standing.
"Just admit defeat!" Goldar ordered. "You can't win against me!"
"I'll never give up to you," Rob yelled. "Not as long as I'm a Power Ranger."
"You call yourself a Power Ranger," Goldar mocked, "yet you can't even defeat one opponent! You are not worthy or strong enough to be a ranger! You are a weakling!"
"You're wrong!" Rob argued, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel some doubt. Here he was, fighting one-on-one and he couldn't beat Goldar. What am I going to do? How can I beat him?
-
((OOC: I hope this is ok))
Rito groaned, after he got back to the moon palace, Ed put him on guard duty with serval putties to be ready for when the power rangers arrived to rescue their leader. "It's not fair, I mean sure I blabbed about the plan, it's not like I helped the rangers." He groaned. The fact that his little beatdown by the yellow ranger allowed Goldar to capture the red ranger saved him from a worse fate. "OH I wish Mom and Dad were here. " He sighed. He could tell they had been restored to, plus he got a call telling him they had almost finished reconquering the entire M-51 gallexy. They'd come to 'Visit' as soon as they were done.
Patrick Tracy, Canis, and Eric teleported onto the moon. Patrick knew Tracy was in charge, but Zordon's orders were to Morph as soon as they landed. " Zeo Ranger two :Yellow." He called out as he soon morphed into his Ranger suit. Patrick drew his Zeo defenders and stood ready. He wasn't going to pull a Leroy Jenkins.
-
"There is no time to waste, the quicker we are, the better." - Canis said as soon as the teleportation was over and then he Morphed too just after Patrick - "Zeo Ranger 4: Green" - His morphing gave him again quick access to his family weapon: the Wind Saber and also his Zeo Blaster. - "I am ready to follow your lead, Tracy."
-
Tracy Morphed ' Zeo Ranger 1 Pink" and saba appeared ' lets try and make ourr way around the base' she said noticing the forbidding structure in the distance.
-
Patrick nodded in agreement. "Maybe we could find a way to sneak in. Some kind of sewer, air vent, or secret entrance." Patrick suggested. "either that, or we could trick that Bone head Rito into taking us to rob. Rito seems a few rounds short of a clip." Patrick explained. " Reverse-psycholoigy might work on him, either way it's your call Tracy." Patrick said to the pink ranger.
-
Eric nodded and crossed his wrists, morphing into Zeo Ranger 3, Blue.
"Stealth would be easiest. Otherwise, Boney might give us away before we find Rob. Then, things could get really nasty, really fast."
He said, grabbing his swords as they formed next to him...
-
we'll try the sewer, we're not doing anything that has us sneaking around anywhere near, rita or Zedd.' Tracy said ..
-
"Agreed, but I have no doubt Zedd and Rita already know we're here." Patrick said. " I bet they got a welcoming Party waiting to kill us." He said as they headed towards the base. As they treked over the Moon's surface. Patrick wished they had brought Back up. Maybe Former Rangers, Like the Lightspeed Rangers, Eric and Wes, The Over drive Rangers, anyone to help shift the odds in there favor. "I wish that Gold bum was here, we're supose to be a team, and with all your railing against Me, you overlooked the Gold Ranger's Absense." He said as they continued. "lousy alien freaks, they've all been trouble from day one, earth is better off without them. Zordon, Zedd, Rita, they're all the same, All Aliens. We don't even need the Floating head anymore. Earth has advanced enough to where we got our own Power Rangers without his so called 'Magic'. I mean I helped Build the Lightspeed and Titainium Morphers."He explained. " I also helped Build other Earth based Ranger Tech." He told the others.
-
Zedd's visor glowed bright red. "We have intruders in the lair! The rangers have somehow infiltrated our base! Deal with them now Putties!" As a group of Putties left to deal with the rangers, Zedd focused his attention towards Goldar. "Enough stalling Goldar! Finish off the red ranger before the others find him! Now!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It shall be done, my lord!" Goldar replied. He then turned back to Rob and smirked. "It's a shame really. I was beginning to enjoy torturing you, but it seems like the fun must end. Now I will destroy you once and for all!"
Hearing that the other rangers had come for him gave Rob some new found hope. He struggled to stand back up in pain, but the pain didn't really affect him at all. All he could think about were his friends. I can't give up. I have to defeat him somehow. I have to get back to my friends.
"Do you surrender, red ranger?" Goldar taunted.
"Never," Rob shook his head. "I'll never surrender to the likes of you, not as long as I have something to fight for!"
"What foolish things can you possibly fight for?" Goldar mocked further.
"The universe is counting on me to stop you from taking over," Rob answered, "and so are my friends!" Rob leaped into the air with a flying side kick, forcing Goldar back a few steps. "Even if I don't have my powers, I will stand and fight against you and all the other freaks Zedd and Rita send against me!" Luckily, a flash of red light circled around Rob's wrists, and his morphers materialized around them.
"No!" Goldar yelled. "It's not possible!"
"Now let's make this a fair fight!" Rob yelled. "Zeo Ranger 5: Red!" In another flash, Rob's body was encased in his ranger suit.
"You think you can defeat me just because you have your powers?" Goldar yelled back.
"I don't think," Rob replied. "I know I can!"
-
"Sounds like Zordon sent them to rescue the red ranger." Rita said. "And right into our base, we'll show them and make them pay." Rita said, shaking her fist emphatically, upset and angry that the rangers had dared to try to infiltrate their base. Her face showing her anger.
-
Eric chuckled.
"Now now. Earth's tech is good and all, but there's just something about the magic that just makes me feel a little more secure."
He said, flicking his swords a little...
-
you don't get it Patrick. we need Zordon to help us protect the world. I mean, we';re on the freaking moon.. there's no atmosphere here to speak off and its hundreds below zero. without our suits we'd be dead right now." Tracy said. " and i'm supposed to believe that you did all that, yet still hold a grudge against Zordon? Sorry, Patrick I don't buy it. If you had, than you wouldn't be so biased against Aleins. magic is something we modern humans don't understand, but yet it continues to exist. " then the putties appeared "alright.. heres the welcoming committee. lets get them out of the way and rescue "Rioob.
-
Patrick turned around to face Tracy. " How long did you live in angel Grove. I was born there, I lived in fear of alien annilation from the age of five till I was eleven. Zeed, Rita, Goldar. They were figures of terror, and with all those alien freaks trying to destroy us, what was I supose to think, that only some aliens were good? Tell me do you think they'd treat us the same. either way. I only built said tech after I reversed enginered destoyed Megazord tech at our military's request request. It took years to learn bout it that the first megazord earth built wasn't deployed till mosters who claimed to be demons attacked the city of Mariner bay. I never associated Directly with the rangers I just made the earth Ranger tech, and It was because I hated Aliens that I agreed to reverse enginer the technology, so earth would no longer be helpless. " He said, turning to face the putties. " Our little chat will have to wait" He said, pulling out his blasters and shooting them. "What are you waiting for, I'll fight these push overs, go and get rob!" Patrick yelled, switching to his striker mode. He started shooting.
"Hello Rangers Miss me?" Rito asked the Rangers. " Your too late to save your Red friend, but not too late to join him." He said, firing blasts at the pink ranger.
patrick broke off his attack as he rushed to try and save Tracy. He didn't like her, but he'd be dead before he'd allow another human to die because of alien freaks.
Tracy!" Patrick shouted as he threw himself in front of the blast. Patrick fell to the ground, trying to get up but couldn't. "killing you will make sis and Ed happy. did you know I destroyed the thunder zords!" He boasted. Patrick groaned as Rito kicked Patrick in the chest. "hurts don't it?" the villian laughed. "Not as much as listiening to you talk." Patrick groaned as he struggled to his feet. "But I should thank you Rito, If you never Destroyed the Thunderzords, I'd never would've been able to get a hold of their remains and reverse-engineer it. Rito was confused. " What do ya mean?" He asked. Patrick snickered as he used his lancer mode for support. "you don't know do ya, we're not the only Rangers who still have powers, granted most of them are semi-retired, I'd esstimate around 32 or so rangers still have acess to their powers, give or take. My point is that even if you kill us, there will always be other, better and stronger teams to our place. My Point bonehead is that the Power Rangers reprsent Ideals, not individuals, therefore they..we cannot be destroyed." The yellow ranger said to Rito. Patrick had got his second wind and rushed to help the other rangers. "Alright you claybrains, you want to play rough
ok I got a little friend who wants to play too." He said, switching his lancer to stryker mode. "Say hello to my little friend!" He yelled, blasting the putties.
-
John was in the lounge when he got a call on his cellphone.
"I've been picking up some interesting readings from an area of the moon. Thought you should come and see." Scotty said.
"Ok, let me find a place and then you can beam me up." John said quietly to the cell phone as he got up to head to the bathrooms. He was glad his cellphone and that of the phone back at home were extra scrambled so they could have private conversations.
Once he was in the bathroom he went into a stall and closed the door, not locking it. "Ok, beam me up." John said.
Once in his lab he went to look at the monitor. "Interesting, looks like I should go there." John said.
"I was thinking the same thing. I got it ready so when you are."
John went over to the machine that turned him temporarily into the gold ranger and nodded once he was in position before the machine. Once he had been morphed into the gold ranger he went over to the transporter pad.
"I have the co-ordinates already entered." Scotty said.
-
Canis remained silent all of the time, been his transformation into Ranger words the last ones he has spoken for a while, he was just listening to the discussion between Patrick and Tracy. - "Magic does indeed exist and will continue existing after we and all of our mighty technology fade in time, because life will still exist and become new races and entities, all of them aliens to each other and very likely to be afraid of each other. I just hope they will lear as we should learn, that out there, there are good aliens, like Zordon, that will try to lend a hand." - He speaks with experience, been of another race and not a human, he knows Sirians will try to lend a hand to humans, but they have their own problems too right now.
Then Rito and the Putties appeared - "Well, it seems your discussion ruined the element of surprise... or maybe they were watching us all along..." - he drew his saber and blaster. - "... but that doesn't matter now." - and he began attacking too.
-
they were.. likely.. watching the whoole.. time' Tracy said ducking Putty thrusts. as she dealt with a group of putties she saw rito oppounding Patrick " lasy off him skull-face she yelled flipping out of the group of putties and landing in front of Rito.. " yellow Ranger and I may have issues, deep issues, but I can't allow you to take him.. which reminds me, we have a friend in your dungeon and we're going to break out. she said drawing Saba and swinging at Rito.
-
John as the gold ranger appeared a short distance off. He heard sounds of a fight and rushed forward so he could see what was going on. Seeing what was going on he sent a few blasts before he moved in to melee range to begin fighting some of the puddies himself.
-
Canis found himself surrounded by many Putties. - "This is getting more difficult, no wonder this is the bad guy's hideout." - He was able to defeat two by making a swift attack of his Wind Saber, but then three more Putties arrived and attacked, Canis barely had any time to react when some blasts coming from the Gold Ranger's blaster - "Amazing! another Ranger!" - Canis exclaimed as he began attacking the Putties more fiercely now.
-
Eric spun through a group of putties, slashing them apart with a cocky grin.
"Heh. Six of us now, huh? Even better for us, even worse for them."
He taunted, not noticing another two putties standing up behind him before they were both defeated by a pair of laser blasts.
"Looks like you guys need a little more help."
Came a familiar voice, as a blue-suited ranger stepped towards the group...
-
"Well gold ranger, I was wondering when you'd show up." Patrick said as he saw yet another ranger appear. he'd find out his Identidy later. now they had a leader to save. Rito managed to block Tracy's strike. "Hey, that's the white rangers talking sword!" He shouted before forcing Tracy back. " But now it's mine, and so are you!" He yelled, lunging at the pink ranger before Patrick jumped over tracy and shot him with his Zeo defender. "didn't your mother teach you to never strike a lady?" Patrick questioned. "ugh...NO!" Rito Replied. Patrick switched to his lancer mode. He and Rito tradeed blows and both took several hits. Patrick switched to his duel sword mode, and after blocking Rito's sword with his left sword. Patrick switched his right sword to blaster mode. "Eat this bone daddy." Patrick shouted as he blasted rito in the skull. Rito fell backwards and landed on the ground. " Time to die bone head. your gonna pay for your decoy shtick back in the park. "Zeo Defender: Stryker mode, full power." He called out as he took aim. Patrick fired just as rito stood up. The blast sent the son of master vile falling to the ground for a final time as a large explosition indicated his destruction. Rito Revolto was dead.
-
"Better late then never." The gold ranger said. He focused on fighting puddies to try to thin down the number so there was less of a threat around and so the other rangers could focus on why they had come here. He punched them with sparks coming from his punches, as he did is best to evade and dodge their attacks, sometimes successful and sometimes not.
-
Eric and the other Blue Ranger stood back-to-back, their double-ended weapons making quick work of the remaining putties, many of them falling back as Rito fell...
-
The battle seemed to be going more in Rob's favor now that he regained his powers. While Goldar was still putting up a hard fight, it didn't seem as hard as before. Rob could only guess that his friends coming to save him, like they were an actual team. After a couple more blows, Goldar rolled to the floor. Rob remained in a defensive stance, ready to retaliate. "Why don't you just give up, Goldar? You can't make me feel weak anymore!"
"You may have won this battle, red ranger," Goldar sneered, "but this war is only just beginning!"
"You tell Rita and Zedd that we're not going to let them take Earth," Rob told the gold-plated warrior, "not without a fight!" Rob turned towards the wall leading towards the exit of the dungeon and called out, "Zeo Sword!" The weapon materialized in his hand and he slashed twice at the bars, breaking them apart. "So long Goldar!" He flipped through the wall and made his way out of the dungeon."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zordon and Alpha watched through the Viewing Globe the battle taking place on the moon. "Zordon, the rangers have been ambushed!" Alpha cried.
"Calm down, Alpha," Zordon assured. "The Gold Ranger has somehow been teleported to the rangers as well. When the battle is over and Rob is rescued, we shall teleport him as well here so we may welcome him among the rangers."
"Unbelievable!" Alpha marveled. "Is that Blue Ranger who I think it is?"
"Yes," Zordon answered. "It's an old friend whom we have not heard from in a long time. We shall have to welcome him back as well."
-
Patrick turned back to tracy and help her up. " Thanks. Bone head would of had me if you hadn't steped in." He admitted. He saw the putties had all but retreated. "I gess putties are smarter than I thought." He joked. "But right now Red needs us, so lead on fearless leader." He said as he holstered his weapons.
-
"The sooner he is rescued the sooner we can all leave this place." The gold ranger said not knowing the reason they were in this location till it was mentioned just now. "Though we should be careful, there may be more of those puddies around and maybe a security system also here."
-
Tracy found a large openning in the surface which reeked of monsters .. " I'm guessing this must be a way in " Shge said jumping down and making her way inside..
-
Patrick sighed as he saw Tracy jump down in the hole. ' Rob better appriciate this.' He thought as he converted his Zeo defender to stryker mode and lifted it over his head before following Tacy. Patrick landed knee high in what looked like sewage. "Great, now all we gotta do is navigate theough a maze of crap." He said with a groan.
-
"At least it's a way in. That is something." The gold ranger said. "We can take several showers later after he's rescued. What order should we go in, if any defined order."
-
Eric dropped down next, skidding down to the floor with a dull grunt.
"Ugh. This has to be the nastiest thing I've ever had to deal with."
He said, shaking his head, as Billy landed next.
"We'll manage to clean off somehow after this."
He chuckled...
-
"I agree, the stench in here is horrible..." - Canis said as he landed next to this other blue Ranger that joined the team short before. - "... this place will be very different when we finish doing what we came to do." - he said, and if it weren't for the helmet then all could have seen a grin on his face. He then looked at the Blue ranger. - "You and the Gold Ranger are a very welcomed sight, so I look forward to get back to the base after this mission so I can present myself properly." - he said as he gave some steps forward, reading himself for anything.
-
"As much as I'd love to Green, this is a grab and go mission. We get in, get red, ret out. No Heroics. And as for the marching order, I'll bring up the rear. I don't trust anyone of you to watch my back, especially these two new rangers." Patrick said, refering to the Gold and other blue Rangers. "I'd love to hear the giant bald floating head explain where you came from." Patric said, holding his zeo defender above his head. "I recommend we all hold our weapons like this in case it gets deeper." He sugesstted.
Finster, squat, and baboo all quiwvered hen they saw Rito was destroyed. Despite her attitude towards him, Rita would not take Her brother's destruction sitting down. Finster had scurried off to his workshop to get to work on a monster while Squat and baboo tarted to blame each other for not helping, not that they ever did help.
-
this is a get in, and get the heck out job " Tracy said fromt the front " we are not going to storm in and give Rita and Zedd a beating, we aren't nearly strong enough for that' We just have to find rob and get out.. and once this is over.. I'm taking a nice bath.. who knows what is in this stuff, probably the leftovers of destroyed monsters or something.." She added holding saba over her head.
-
"I don't know about any floating head, except in some comedy tv shows and such of the past. As for weapons mine like in the Space Ghost cartoon." The gold ranger said, his ranged weapons being his bracelets like space ghost's, as well as other stuff also. "Let's get this over with, & rescue him & get out quick." He said.
-
Eric nodded, grabbing his gun and holding it up as Billy did the same with his Blade Blaster.
"If by 'giant floating bald head', you mean Zordon, I can't wait to see him again. It'll be good to see a familiar face."
He chuckled...
-
Rob had left the dungeon and entered what looked like a sewer line. The foul stench reeked throughout the hallway. "Well this will be a new one to tell the family," he joked. "I wonder if this leads to the surface. I better find my way through this and find the others. Hopefully I don't run into any resistance while I'm down here." Sure enough, the moment he stepped into the sewer three Putties appeared before him. "Of course. Spoke too soon." One Putty lunged for him, but Rob back flip kicked it away. After kicking the other two away, Rob hopped over them and ran down the sewer line.
-
"So you know the alien too?" He asked billy. "So who are you Dino-helmet?" Patrick asked the new guy, his mistrust of this stranger growing more and more. Turning his attention to Tracy, Patrick decided to continue their earlier chat. "To elaborate on my earlier statements. I only had contact with two teams of earth based ranger teams. Light-speed Rescue and operation overdrive. I broke contact with Light-speed Rescue after they built that Stupid Life force megazord. It was powered by the five "Core" rangers own life force, hence the name. I broke contact with operation overdrive as soon as their Mercury Ranger, Tyzon Admitted he was an alien freak on national TV. I should of sued Hartford for giving ranger tech I helped develop for his team to an alien." Patrick lamented. "But anyway earth never would of gotten any ranger tech had The Military not asked me to reverse engineer all those destroyed Megazords. I think those so called thunder zords were the first, then those car zords, and then those space ship zords, the mega voyager and delta megazord I think they were called." Patrick explained.
-
all that must have taken you years of work' Tracy replied.. " but that still doesn't address our main problem with you, your unwillingness to trust aliens. there are good and bad aliens, much as there are good and bad humans. the previous rangers worked with and trusted aliens, as will our group Patrick. the sooner you recognize and accept that, the better. i will not tolerate working with an intolerant alienophobe.
-
"Maybe Patrick has yet to meet good-willing aliens, sadly, Earth is a target for evil entities because of the reources like water, air, minerals, and who knows what else they all want..." - Canis rplied. - "... but I am with Tracy on this, to close our minds can never lead to good things, but we will have time for that later, can you hear that? I hear some noises." - Indeed the Green Ranger heard some faint noises much ahead in the sewers.
-
The gold ranger nodded, "And good and neutral aliens likely don't come to earth since earth is to primative. Like the Vulcans in the first contact star trek movie. They didn't come to earth till they detected warp thing."
He looked ahead. "We should proceed cautiously, no telling what it may be ahead." He said.
-
"I do not fear aliens, I don't trust or accept their so called help. Also I had help in studying ranger Tech. several scientists like Angela fairwheather, now Angela Rowlings, the scientists at light-speed, and Hartford Industries, which I bought out to ensure their ranger tech stayed out of the wrong hands, And the R&D team at my company Draganta Industries. And as for my attitude, Zordon and Alf-Alf-A are the first so called "Good aliens" I ever encountered, and after living through six nightmarish years of alien attacks, I'm suppose to trust them without a second thought, I'm sorry but I'm not willing to fall in line, however I do believe we have common foes, for now." He explained.
Patrick heard them too, they sounded like footsteps. " Weapons ready, but don't attack yet, it might be red, we can't kill the guy we're here to save." He whispered.
-
not trusting them is the same as fearing them in my book Tracy replied " but for now the goal is finding Rob.
-
Rob kept sprinting down the sewer line, his Zeo Defender in hand. The footsteps of more Putties echoed behind him and grew louder by the second. "Geez they're persistent." Rob stopped and turned around, pointing his blaster down the hall. "Blaster ready!" he called out. "Fire!" Laser beams shot out of his blaster and hit three more Putties. Unfortunately, more were still coming after him. "Give me a break!" Turning around again, he continued running down the sewer line until he noticed figures up ahead. Approaching them closer, he realized they were the other rangers, along with the gold ranger and an unfamiliar blue ranger. "Putties are right behind me!" Rob called out. "Head back to the surface! Quickly!"
-
Rob? well so much for the rescue.. come on! Tracy said turning and heading back the way thy had come " How did you manage to escape Rob? she asked as she ran " We were trying to find you, and well you seem to rendered that a moot point..
-
Patrick sighed. "Go, I'll be right behind you!" He shouted as he blasted the ceiling of the sewer, causing a cave in that would at least slow down the putties. Patrick soon caught up. "I took care of the putty problem for now, but we gotta move." He said. climbing out of the sewer. "Tracy, rob can debrief us back at the command center, right now we gotta get clear of Zedd and Rita's Palace and get off our moon." Patrick said, glad Rob was safe. "By the way, you didn't kill Goldar, cause no body kills him but me, and me alone." He explained. Turning to the Gold and original blue ranger. "Goldar killed my parents, and I won't rest till he and every other alien freak is dead." He proclaimed.
-
"We should just focus on getting out of here. Not on other things." The Gold Ranger said, glancing around to see if they were safe for the moment.
-
Canis heard Patrick and just sighed. - "Well, the sooner we get out of here, the better. Then we can plan on revenge or paybacks and debriefings or whatever." - he said unamused, just tired of Patrick's behavior, But he just kept his opinion for himself, at least for now.
-
Eric nodded.
"Right. You guys take the front, I'll keep any putties from jumping our backs, alright? Let's move!"
He said bravely, the other Blue Ranger nodding.
"We'll cover the back of the group, just for safety's sake."
He added...
-
"Point taken" Patrick answered as he formed up with the others. Just then several putties appeared. "Lord all mighty these clay brains are more stubbern than door to door salesmen." Patrick said, taking aim. "awaiting your orders Red ranger." He said, trying to sound more like a team player.
Meanwhile Sqaut and Baboo had retreived Rito's remains, but had droped his head. Upon returning to Finsters workshop, they were instructed to put Rito's remains in with Bones's clay figure."Now to set the monster matic on high." Finster said as the monster matic steamed to life, the New Rito came out. He had Rito's body shape with Bone's head, hat, cape, coloring and held his old sword and bones sword as well. "Hello boys I'm back!" He laughed before teleportig out to the battle field.
Super-Rito laughed as he saw the Power Rangers. "Step aside Clay heads, this is a Job for super-Rito." He laughed as he faced down the power rangers.
-
The gold ranger joined ranks with the others, ready for any sort of attack.
(sorry for the short post but I don't have much time and have to go.)
-
Eric turned, aiming his rifle at the oncoming putties until Rito showed up.
"Hey, guys. I'll deal with Boney this time, at least until you guys can get outta here."
He said cockily, slinging his guns across his back as he drew his double-bladed sword...
-
"No way Blue!" Patrick said. "Either we all go home or nobody goes home." Patrick said. : Ha, even if you had a hundred rangers, I'd still win." Rito Said as he seperated in a tornado of bones. "Now there's plenty of me to go around!" He said as Rito flung several bones at the rangers, sending them to the ground before reassembling. "That floating head sent you on a suicide mission."
-
lets just get out of here.. its too cramped to do any real fighting' Tracy said. ' We need to get rob back to the command center.. now/ We'll deal with bonehead here later..
-
"I can try to keep them busy while the rest of you get out. I have my own way out of here." The Gold Ranger said as he pressed a button to shoot a gold colored beam at a putty. He indeed had his own way out, by the transporter he had used to come here.
-
Patrick nodded at Tracy, then to John. " Weall go go together." He said. "We'll blast through together!" He declared. Firing his Zeo Defender. "like the Three Musketeers, All for one and one for all." He said shooting more putties.
" How cute, you won't leave your friends, well know what they say, the rangers who fight together, die together." He laughed firing eye beams at the rangers. "I got all sorts of new powers." He laughed as Patrick was sent to the ground by the blast.
-
Eric flipped forward, double-bladed sword slashing through a few putties with little to no difficulty.
"Heh. That only applies when you aren't Power Rangers, bonehead."
He taunted...
-
The gold ranger sent off a blast at a putty. Then he dodged as he pressed a button on both bracelets then punched another putty as was finishing his dodge, hitting it in the side with his right fist.
-
" Guys, this has gone on long enough, we gotta pull out." Patrick said, struggling to his feet before blasting through some more putties.
"Had enough, too bad have some more." He laughed firing a beam of energy towards the rangers.
-
"If you have any fast way out take it." The gold ranger said as he tried to provide cover for the others as best as he could. The blast sent him flying back, landing on his back. He sent a blast himself back in the direction the first blast had gone in. He had his own way out, but wouldn't take it unless the others had gone before him he had thought to himself.
-
tracy headed up to the surface ' Hurry up guys" she said 'rthose putties are right behind us..." She said shoooting at them with her blaster as she ranb towards the surface..
-
The gold ranger got up, still trying to do his best to provide cover for the others so they could leave.
-
Both blue rangers nodded, grabbing the Gold Ranger, backstepping and firing down the hall as they helped him with the escape.
"C'mon, shiny. We're getting out of here together. Now's not the time to be lying down on the job."
Eric chuckled...
-
"Thanks. And your right, time to lay down later." The gold ranger said.
