Power Rangers Turbo: Chase into Space
On a sunny afternoon in Angel Grove, Justin Stewart was in his backyard, playing with his soccer ball. Everything in Angel Grove has been peaceful for the last couple of weeks. No monsters, no Divatox, no Priahatrons. It was a little bit boring though, not fighting anybody. Hopefully, something would come up take would require him and the other Power Rangers.
Not seeing where he was kicking, Justin accidentally kicked his soccer ball into the road. As he ran to get it, he froze at seeing two familiar figures. "Excuse me, is this yours?" a female figure with red hair and green eyes said.
Justin smiled as he immediately recognized her. "Kim Possible!" Justin said, hugging the teen hero. He remembers her when he first became a Power Ranger. She, her boyfriend Ron Stoppable, and best friend Monique filled in for Tanya, Katherine, and Adam when they became injured when Drakken and Divatox teamed up.
"Hey Justin!" Kim said with a smile, returning the hug. "It's been awhile."
"Hey, how's the Blue Ranger doing?" Ron asked, approaching Kim and Justin.
"Ron!" Justin said, hugging Ron's leg. "Great to see you!"
Rufus, Ron's naked mole rat, popped out of his master's pocket, wearing a cross expression on his face. "Hey!" Rufus squeaked.
"Oh. And you too Rufus." Justin said, noticing him. "How's it all been? I heard you guys stopped this massive alien invasion."
"Yeah, we know. It was pretty scary." Kim said, shuddering at the memory at almost being killed by the Lowdrians during graduation. "Luckily, Ron was able to step up."
"I know!" Justin said, beaming. "He was all crazy with the Monkey Kung Fu. It was so awesome!"
"You know it!" Ron said, high fiving the young Ranger. "Anyway, how are the other Rangers doing?"
"Well, Tommy, Katherine, Tanya, and Adam are all away at college now. But, would you like to meet the new ones?" Justin asked.
Kim remembered after their mission with Tommy and Justin, they took an oath to protect the secret of the Rangers. "OK sure. We're gonna be in town for a few days anyway." Kim said with a smile.
"Great. Come on!" Justin said, leading Kim and Ron to the Juice Bar where hopefully his friends might be there. Kim was just lucky that today was a normal day.
Meanwhile, at the local arcade and pizzeria, Jade Chan was getting her game on with the new Hero's Duty first person shooter game. At 12 years old and a tomboy, she loved video games, as she was a basic pro. No one could defeat her. She was accompanying her uncle Jackie, her friend Thoru, and Uncle as Jackie attends a special conference set up by the museum where Jackie works. "This place is too loud!" Uncle complained. Jackie sighed as he knew that at a very old age, Uncle always complained. "One more thing, where is our food?"
"Uncle, please be patient." Jackie said. "It'll be here soon." Jackie was patient when it came to Uncle, but he could be a handful. Like Jade. Always saying, 'One more thing!', giving either Jackie or Thoru a two finger smack on the forehead, and smelling of garlic. But, Uncle was very skilled when it came to chi magic and combat. In fact, he was basically a chi wizard.
"I just hope that our pizza doesn't have any anchovies on it." Thoru said. "I hate fish." Thoru was Uncle's former apprentice. Now, he was a full chi wizard, after helping Uncle banish Drago and Shendu into the Abyss of Evil. But he was still Uncle's shopkeeper. He was pretty big and strong, both worthy abilities when it came to combat. And smart in the field of chi wizardry.
Jade was too busy being caught up in the world of aliens and Warcraft to pay attention to her family. "Yes!" Jade cheered with delight as she reached the high score. "Once again, I'm the queen!" She then did a little victory dance as she boasted her winnings to the entire arcade. Jackie just smiled at his niece. She can be a handful, and quite mischievous sometimes. But, she had a good heart. "Is there no one here mad enough to defeat me?"
"I'll take that challenge." a young male voice said. Suddenly, a kid with black hair and a unique looking watch, came into the arcade with an young girl with red hair, and a older looking gentleman. "I mastered this machine at every arcade I ever been in."
Jade shook her head, playfully. "Listen kid, why don't you just go play Asteroids?" Jade asked with a smirk. She took these thing very seriously. So she figured she spared the boy the chance of getting his butt whooped. He does look cute though, Jade thought to herself. And cool watch. But, Jade was the real master of this machine, and it would be better if that kid just walked away before he started crying.
"What's the matter Ben? Are you afraid you're gonna get your butt kicked by a girl?" the young red head asked with a grin. Ben just glowered at his cousin. She could be a pain to him sometimes. The girl just giggled as Ben furrowed his brow towards her direction. That Gwen, Ben though to himself. Who does she think she is? Ben then looked at Jade again. She does look cute, though.
"None of your business, Gwen." Ben shot back as he walked up to the machine and took his gun. He wasn't about to back down. That's why he basically bonded with the Omintrix, a device capable of transforming him into ten different aliens. He used that device for hero purposes, and sometimes his own personal games. But today, he was gonna teach Jade who was the real master of Hero's Duty. "Ready to have your butt kicked, girlie?"
"In your dreams." Jade said with a grin as she started the machine back up. What can I say, Jade thought. I gave him a chance, and he wouldn't take it. Jade then inserted her quarter into the machine. She then looked in Gwen's direction. She flashed Jade a smile that basically said, Take him down. Jade nodded. There was no way he was gonna get her butt whooped by a boy now. "You're on."
With that, the game started back up and Jade and Ben went head to head in Hero's Duty. "I hope this girl wins, because I can't wait to see the look on poor Ben's face when he loses." Gwen said with a giggle.
"Well, while you watch, I'll go find us a table." the older man said as he found a table next to Jackie and his family. The older man immediately recognized Uncle and smiled. As a former plumber, he found time to visit many places and meet many people. And Uncle was just one of the many friends he made. Ever since ten years ago when he was called in to fix Uncle's sink. "Uncle, when did you decide to drop by?"
Uncle gasped and smiled. "Why, Max Tennyson!" Uncle said, hugging him tightly. "Uncle hasn't seen you in 10 years." Max wasn't just a plumber. He was also an expert in both ancient, magic, and alien artifacts.
"Uncle, you know this man?" Jackie asked. His question was met with a two finger smack on the forehead. Maybe Jackie should have kept his mouth shut.
"Please do not ask Uncle ridiculous questions!" Uncle yelled before calming down and turning to Max. Uncle hates it when Jackie asks unnecessary questions. "Max is an old friend. So, what brings you by?"
"I'm basically on vacation with my grandkids. Doing a little cross country thing." Max explained. It was summer vacation and since the kids were out of school, Max thought he take his grandkids all across the country, exploring the sights.
"Very good. This is Uncle's former apprentice and full chi wizard, Thoru." Uncle said, introducing the two.
"Pleasure to meet you." Thoru said.
"And this is my nephew, Jackie." Uncle said.
"Nice to meet you." Jackie said, shaking Max's hand.
"Same here." Max said, before gesturing towards Ben and Jade. "Is that your daughter over there?"
"My niece, actually." Jackie replied, sheepishly. Ever since Jade came to live with him almost five years ago, Jade turned Jackie's life upside down, getting into trouble and tagging along on missions she wasn't supposed to be attending.
"Well, it looks like she and my grandson, Ben are getting along great." Max said. He hoped that Ben could make a new friend.
"I'm gonna fry you to pieces!" Ben yelled, loving the feeling of winning he was sure was close by. He hadn't been this pumped since he took on four bank robbers by transforming into Diamondhead. Ever since bonding with the Omintrix, he loved to play hero, saving lives and all that. But right now, he was focused on kicking alien butt. One more score and..."What?!"
"Yes!" Jade happily exclaimed, knowing she beaten Ben. "High score!" Jade did a little victory dance, rubbing her victory in Ben's face. Like I said, I gave him a chance to back away, Jade thought to herself. Ben was just dumbfounded over the fact that he gotten beaten at video games, by a girl. Not good for his reputation.
Gwen just laughed as she was sure that Ben was about to cry over the fact that he was beaten by a girl. She couldn't wait to laud this over him forever. He's so gonna cry, Gwen thought to herself. Instead, Ben just kneeled down in front of Jade, confusing both her and Gwen. "I am not worthy." Ben said.
"OK..." Jade said, a little creeped out. This is new, Jade thought. Still, he's cute.
"Seriously, you kicked major butt!" Ben said with a smile before standing up. He was amazed that a girl was able to match his skills. Really cool. Really cool indeed. "I'm Ben by the way."
"Jade. Professional bad guy butt kicker and video game pro." Jade said, shaking Ben's hand. That watch, Jade thought. I wonder where you could get one of those.
"I'm Gwen." Gwen said, walking up to them. "Nice job on beating my dweebish cousin." Ben just glowered at his cousin. She was just a total pain, and a major nerd.
"Thanks." Jade said with a smile. "So, what brings you guys all the way here to Angel Grove?"
"We're on vacation with our grandpa." Gwen said.
"Can I ask a question?" Ben asked, meekly. Gwen smiled in his direction. This is new, Gwen thought. Looks like Ben's got a little crush going on. "What do you mean by professional bad guy butt kicker?"
"Well-" Jade wanted to say before she was interrupted.
"Jade! Time to eat!" Jackie called out.
"Gotta chow. I'll catch up to you guys later." Jade said, walking back to the table. But not before catching one last glimpse at Ben, who was smiling at her. Kids, she thought.
Ben was too busy smiling he didn't notice Gwen laughing. "Huh?" Ben asked, coming out of his daze. "What are you laughing at?"
"Oh nothing." Gwen said with a grin. "Just thought I savor the moment between you two."
"What moment?" Ben asked, getting angry.
"Oh come on Ben. Don't deny it. You totally have a crush on Jade!" Gwen said, laughing loudly, and making Ben more angry.
"What?! No way! She's a girl! I hate girls!" Ben said, trying to deny the chemistry between them. How could she have known, Ben thought.
"A girl who like video games, and is reckless and impulsive like you." Gwen said with a sly smile. Ben just growled, not liking Gwen's teasing one bit.
Jade then took her seat next to Thoru and started to eat her pizza. "That Ben kid's pretty cute," Jade said aloud before she realized what she said. Thoru giggled at that as Jackie smiled widely at his niece.
"Jade, have you met Uncle's good friend, Max Tennyson?" Uncle asked, introducing the two.
"Nice to meet you." Jade said.
"You seem like a nice little girl." Max said with a smile. "No wonder you like Ben."
Jade shrugged as she continued to eat her pizza. While she ate, Jade noticed Ben and Gwen were still arguing. "I do not like her!" Ben said, getting more angry.
"You can't deny the song, Ben..." Gwen teased before singing, Jade and Ben sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Ben growled, activating his Omintrix, and transforming into Wildmutt, ready to eat Gwen. "Ben! I was just teasing!"
Max noticed the trouble and frowned. "Oh no. He had to pick today to do this." Max said, shaking his head.
Jade's mouth dropped at the sight of Wildmutt. "Whoa! Finally, major action!" Jade said, getting up from her seat and rushing towards Wildmutt to Jackie's displeasure. "Hold on Gwen!"
"Jade! Don't!" Jackie yelled when he realized Jade already hopped onto Wildmutt. "Oh, bad day."
"I'm so sorry. My grandson's a little mischievous. Even more when he got that Omintrix attached to him." Max explained, making Uncle spit out his coffee.
"Ai Ya!" Uncle yelled. "How did your grandson get the Omintrix in the first place?"
"It's a long story." Max said, sheepishly.
Jade was on top of Wildmutt, wrestling with him by grabbing hold of his neck. "Yee Haw! Settle down beast! Now, what have you done with Ben?" Jade asked, thinking that the animal ate Ben.
"Jade! Wait!" Gwen cried out.
"Not now! I'm saving your life!" Jade said, dismissing Gwen.
"As much as I appreciate it, and love the fact that you have that beast in a choke hold, that beast is Ben!" Gwen said.
"Huh?" Jade asked, confused as Ben's Omintrix ran out of juice, causing Ben to transform back to his normal self. "Ben?"
"Could you let go of my neck, please?" Ben asked, struggling to get out of Jade's grip, which was pretty tight for a little girl.
"Sorry." Jade said sheepishly as she let go of Ben's neck. "It was just...How did you even do that? That was you?"
"That was just one of ten." Ben said, showing the Omintrix to Jade.
"That watch?" Jade asked.
"It's not a watch!" Ben said. "It's an alien device that'll allow me to transform into ten different aliens. All you have to do is pick your choice, and boom! Instant alien!"
"That is...the most amazing thing I ever heard and seen in my entire life! You are so fun!" Jade said with a big smile. She never experience anything like that. It was amazing, just like the talismans.
"Believe me, knowing him is not fun!" Gwen said, angrily, remembering of all the stuff she had to put up with him.
"Say, what do you say we get to know each other better? I'll tell you of my adventures if you tell my about yours." Jade said with a grin.
Ben smiled at that thought. "Sounds good to me." Ben said before running up to Max. "Hey grandpa, me and Gwen are gonna take off with Jade for a while. Wrap that pizza up for us."
"Fine. But there's still a major discussion about your behavior today." Max said sternly.
"We'll talk about back at the hotel. Bye." Ben said, taking off with Gwen and Jade. "So, what did you mean by professional bad guy butt kicker?"
"Kids." Max said, shaking his head.
"Tell me about it." Jackie said with a knowing smile.
