"The Legendary War Pt. 1"
Location: Space Patrol Delta Headquarters
Time: 0432, 2028
The night was dark. Fire erupted the surrounding cities of SPD Headquarters. Many upon many have fallen from the Machine Empire. It took years for the Machine Empire to once again attack. Earth was believed to have been safe with the protectors known as the Power Rangers. In many other universes, The Machine Empire had been defeated years ago. How unfortunate this universe was for them to not be fully defeated and destroyed.
As SPD Headquarters was falling apart, the B-Team attempted to make the final stand. General Venjix held his sword close to his side. Dragging the edge across the metal cages floor as he walked to the Red SPD Ranger -Schuyler Tate- lying on the floor alone about 20 feet from The General. Hearing the sword scrape across the metal floor made Sky cringe from under his helmet and his ears ring in pain. It didn't help that all the fighting and explosions earlier already had his senses scattered.
As Venjix made his way closer to him, Tate thought about the other rangers. Where they were, were they okay? This attack called upon multiple other teams of rangers. It wasn't just SPD's fight. Venjix looked down at Sky as he approached him… Venjix sighed softly before shaking his head.
"I thought this would be a lot harder than it was, child. Unfortunately it wasn't. Your predecessors took my threat more seriously."
The General stated. Sky forced himself to sit up and look at the machine. Tate had no clue in the world how a machine could be so sadistic… So evil. He bit his lip before making his way to his knees. He looked up at Venjix before clenching his fist on his sword. He thought about the small things he could do in this moment to buy himself some time to prepare an attack and regain his composure. What were the possible things he could do to strike Venjix or even catch him off guard. What could he do to even attempt to fighting him?
"My predecessors apparently didn't if you're still standing in front of me. So instead… I'll kill you."
Venjix lifted Sky's chin before wrapping his fingers around it. Venjix tilted his head slightly to the side before chuckling followed by a sigh. Tate's eyes were droopy and he tried his best to keep his mind straight. He reminded himself what he did to get to where he was now. Not exactly kneeling to the will of a machine, but to become the leader of B-Team. He thought about his father. He can make him proud. No… He will make him proud.
"I never fully understood you humans. Death is a ritual for your species… Death is a mere vision and myth. I am not afraid of Death."
As Venjix stated this, he lifted his sword from off the ground and raised it just high enough to prepare to swing down. As he did this, Sky failed himself. He didn't have enough strength in him to fight back. A complete and utter loss. A tear rolled down his cheek and he demorphed. Venjix looked down at Sky and laughed before Venjix was kicked back by another ranger. The Quantum Ranger -Eric Myers-.
"How do you know you're not afraid? You've never tried it!"
Eric stated. He struck a pose in front of Sky causing Sky to look up and let out a sigh of relief. He chuckled through the pain and smiled. Followed by Eric was Wesley Collins -the Red Time Force Ranger- and Trent Fernandez-Mercer -White Dino Ranger-. Trent gripped his daggers while Wes and Eric turned towards Sky.
"Alright buddy. Now's the time to like morph up. We'll take care of this asshole, you get to the rest of your team and get out of here. Meet up with Tommy at the space bridge. He says he has a plan."
Wes said. Sky forced himself to stand up and nodded his head. Venjix also managed to make it to his feet. He took a few steps towards the rangers before sighing again. The four rangers brought their attention to Venjix as he clenched his sword. Venjix shook his head with an evil laugh.
"Space bridge huh? You don't get it, do you rangers? I already won. I've been cursed with the knowledge of this war. How it began to how it ends. And I promise you that it doesn't end here. It never has, it never will."
As Venjix said this, Trent turned to the other three rangers and nodded his head. They looked at him and Sky was leaning on Eric to stay up. This was a disaster none of them could have ever planned for. Whatever Tommy had in store better be worth it.
"Eric, go with Sky. Me and Wes can handle this freak. We'll meet you at the space bridge after this guy is put down."
Trent exclaimed. Sky looked at Eric while Eric looked back and forth between Trent and Wes. Wes nodded his head in agreement and Eric shrugged with a chuckle before wrapping his arm around Sky helping him stand up a bit straighter.
"Well, if you say so chief. Good luck… Don't take forever, I know at stakes like this; Tommy will leave you behind."
"Don't worry about us. We'll get there when we can."
Wes reassured. Eric nodded his head once more before both Eric and Sky teleported away. This left Trent and Wes there with Venjix. They looked towards him as he ran his sword across his arm to create sparks. Venjix looked up at the two remaining rangers before removing his sword from his arm and swinging it around.
"Are you done with your little touching talk? Because I have a job to finish."
Trent rolled his eyes before pointing his dagger at Venjix.
"Alright, listen here I-Robot. No matter how many times you think this has gone down or will go down. Honestly, I don't know. Whether you had visions, it's none of my business. But like, seriously. You're gonna lose."
"What makes you say that ranger?"
"Well… We're the Power Rangers."
Trent smirks from under his mask before the ground rumbles and there attention turns towards a large ship departing from a bridge about a hundred feet above. Trent and Wes sigh realising what was happening. They look at each other before looking back up at the ship.
"Godspeed rangers."
Wes stated under his breath before they both turned towards Venjix. They struck a pose before Venjix shook his head and began running towards the two rangers. He lifted his sword and swung down striking Trent in the chest causing him to drop to his knees. Wes jumped in the air and forced his foot in Venjix's face sending him a few feet back. Wes helped Trent up before they charged the General once more.
Venjix looked up before swinging his sword around before sticking the tip into the ground sending a large blast wave towards the other two rangers. They are blown back once more causing Venjix to get himself all the way up. He began walking towards the two rangers before Wes started reaching for his sword, Venjix tilts his head to the side a bit before swinging his sword around before bringing the tip of the blade down to the back of Wes's neck. The sword went through the black and stuck into the metal under Wes's body. This caused Wes to demorph and blood began puddling around Wes.
Trent turned to look at Venjix as he pulled the blade out of Wes's neck. Seeing Wes's body go limp made Trent's face turn pale. This was a sickening sight. He knew that other Rangers had died, but he hadn't seen it. He quickly forced himself up before gripping his dagger. Venjix turned towards Trent and wiped the blood off his sword on Wes's back.
"Don't make me kill you too Ranger. You get this one chance to come with me. Help me with my army, or you can die like the rest of the Rangers."
"Either way. You're not going to win. It's too late. The space bridge is taking off. You won't stop us now."
Venjix swings his sword around before pointing it at Trent with a chuckle. Trent popps his neck before standing up straight and smirking under his mask.
"If only you knew…"
Location: Space Bridge
The main doors to head quarters of the Space Bridge opened up, Eric and Sky walked in. Eric was helping Sky a long. Everyone in the room was demorphed. Sky looked around and saw a couple of familiar faces. Tommy Oliver was talking to Ethan James and Jason Lee Scott about something urgent. It was clear from the expressions on both Jason's and Tommy's face. They were informing Ethan on something.
Just a few feet from them was Cameron Watanabe working computers along side Merrick Baliton, and Tori Hanson. Eric helped Sky take a seat to begin to relax. Cam quickly turned around from the computer and pointed at Tommy.
"Tommy! We have a problem. Our shields are fully operational but something from outside the ship is blocking the rest of the rangers from beaming in. We can't figure it out."
Tommy squeezed past the Rangers and walked towards the console. Seeing various images of multiple rangers fighting off some of the machine empire. He leaned over the console before shaking his head and clenching his fist.
"We can't afford to take any more risks. We need to get those of us who are here to safety. We're the last fighting chance. So let's keep it that way."
Tommy stated before standing up. The room came to silence before Cam looked at the console before looking back at Tommy as he walked towards the exit. He stopped in the doorway before looking at the remaining rangers that stood in quarters.
"I'm going to go get more help. Cam, I need you to take the Space Bridge away from Earth. The rest of the Rangers down there will hold off the machine empire with me by their side."
Cam turned to look at Tommy with a sigh. Tori looked at Cam before shaking her head. She was in clear disagreement with this decision. Almost all of the Rangers were, but they knew that in the long run, Tommy knew what he was doing and they trusted him. They nodded their heads, all except Tori.
"But we can't just leave the rest of them here. We have to do something about this. Leaving them behind isn't fair or morally correct. There has to be a different way. We just need time to figure it out."
"We don't have time, Tori."
Sky interrupted as he forced himself to stand up. He looked at Tommy before limping towards him. Eric caught Sky before he fell once more. He helped him walk towards Tommy.
"So I'll go with you. There is no saying you'll come back if you go alone. You'll need all the help you can get."
Eric laughed as Sky spoke, he didn't laugh because he thought Sky was kidding… but because he thought Sky was too many steps ahead of himself. Sky looked at Tommy and Tommy raised his eyebrows. Eric helped Sky stand completely up before shaking his head.
"Sorry Schuyler… but you're out of your damned mind. There is no way you're going in the condition you're in."
Sky pushed himself off of Eric before standing straight up and letting a pissed look cross over his face. He looked at Eric and shook his head. Sky kept reminding himself why he became a ranger. Why he kept fighting. He took a deep breath and Tommy looked at Eric before sticking his hand up and looking back at Sky.
"You're right. I shouldn't go alone. But I need you here to make sure things are stable. I need you later in the fight. So please… Stay here and get some rest. Eric will come with me instead."
Sky let out a sigh before leaning on the wall closest to him. Eric nodded his head and stepped forward. Sky closed his eyes and bit his lip. He didn't want to believe anything that was going on at the moment. From being attacked by the Machine Empire to being so utterly weak. He wished he could do something… He wished he could do anything.
"F-fine… I'll stay here."
Sky said before looking at Eric. Eric nodded his head before looking at Tommy. Tommy closed his eyes for a short period of time and took a deep breath. He and everyone else in the room knew that he may never come back from this battle. So Tommy had to risk everything. There was only one shot. And he'd die to take it.
Location: New Terra Venture (NTV)
New Terra Venture was built not too long after the aftermath of it being originally destroyed. The Galaxy Rangers were sworn protectors of NTV and even helped on earth. NTV was recreated with a better security system and a better defense database. This was seen as they were clearly holding back The Machine Empire. NTV was gun blazing at a Machine Empire. This didn't mean any of the empire's soldiers made it onto NTV, because they did. Those that did make it onto NTV were being held off by The Galaxy Rangers and Space Rangers. The Rangers were doing their best to evacuate NTV to ensure the safety of the civilians on it.
The Red Space Ranger -Andros- kicked back Cog before landing in front of a terrified little girl. He turned towards her and helped her up as The Blue Space Ranger -Carlos Vallerte- landed next to the both of them as well. Andros looked at Carlos and nodded his head as Carlos grabbed the girls hand.
"Carlos, get her out of here. I'll continue looking for survivors. We need to make sure Terra Venture is completely evacuated before we move forward with the plan."
Carlos looked at Andros and nodded his head. He did exactly as asked and teleported away with the girl. Andros turned around and sighed as he looked in the distance at the battle that was happening in the sky. He clenched his fists and began to grit his teeth as he thought about everything that was going on. Just like every ranger, he wanted this to end. But over the past hours, he was quick to learn that there was no end.
Andros attention switched to a man that jumped over a barrier and rolled. He wasn't suited as a Ranger or anything. A bunch of Cog's also jumped over the barrier and rushed towards the man. The man was a medium built good looking young man. Very muscular and his brown hair was combed to the side. His eyes were a dark brown and his posture was strong. The man was wearing a NVT Officer Uniform. He stood up to look for another place to run. He took a deep breath before accepting the fact that there was nowhere else to go. He turned to look at the Cog's as they approached him.
"Well, looks like it came down to this. You might as well give me all you got you sons of bitches, because I ain't going down without a fight."
He said looking at the group of Cog's that were headed straight for him. He cocked his head to the side before kicking a Cog in the face with the back of his heel causing the Cog to hit a wall. The man then ducked under a swing that one of the Cog's made before he punched the Cog on the side and blocked another attack before Andros jumped in. Andros kicked a couple of Cog's back before pulling out his blaster and shooting multiple of them causing them to fall to the floor.
Andros turned and studied the man after the Cog's were defeated. Andros stood completely up and holstered his blaster before sensing something off about him. He squinted his eyes under his mask as the man stepped forward and shot out his hand for Andros to shake.
"Thank you for that. Not that I needed it or anything, but boy did it make my job easier."
Andros's eyes flipped to the NVT logo on his vest. Andros shook the man's hand before nodding his head back at the man. Andros did have to admit that this man was brave. NVT did a good job of picking out their next officers to protect NVT. Andros then took his hand back before speaking up.
"You need to get to the evac ship like everyone else."
"Yeahhh… Sorry, that's a no go pal. I'm not going anywhere until every innocent soul is evacuated safely off of New Terra. Don't get me wrong, I respect you being a Power Ranger and all, but I was raised to be taught that not all heroes have to be Rangers. You don't have to wear rainbow colors to save someone's life."
Andros rolled his eyes under his mask before shaking his head. He couldn't believe this guy… Andros's job would not only be a lot easier without a 'trusty sidekick' by his side, but it would also be easier knowing everyone was off safely. Andros shook his head some more before stepping past the man.
"We don't have time to debate this, get to safety. The rest of the Rangers and I will do that job for you. You know.. Making your job easier."
The man's eyes widened, he was almost offended. He laughed at Andros's statement. The man stepped towards Andros and shook his head. He put his hand on Andros's shoulder, forcing him to turn around. Andros looked down at the hand on his shoulder before looking into the man's eyes. The man put his hands up in surrender.
"Sure… Sorry… But that's not how this works, pal. You have to let me do something. I can't just sit by knowing there is something I could be doing. Besides, I don't want you guys to have all the fun. So please… let me help."
Andros rolled his head back before shaking it. He threw his hands in the air. He honestly didn't have time for this. He bit his lip under his mask before sticking his finger in the man's face.
"Fine. But you only do as I say. If you don't I'm beaming you to safety. Are we clear?"
Beam him to safety? Andros wasn't even sure where that was at the moment. He just knew that they were supposed to be evacuating NVT. The man nodded in excitement at Andros's answer. Andros shook his head before waving for the man to follow. The man jumped to action and quickly followed behind Andros.
"My name is Ethan by the way. Ethan Kauffman. What's yours?"
"As much as I'd love to tell you my name, I've got bigger problems to deal with… Ethan…"
The man -Ethan- stopped in his tracks to scratch his head. He curled his eyebrows and tilted his head to the side out of confusion. Ethan always looked up to Power Rangers, sure… He was taught to grow up and prove the world he could be hero without being a Ranger… but they were badass nonetheless. He also knew that they were supposed to be EVERYONE's heroes. Meaning, they were supposed to be nice? Right? Well… Andros didn't seem so nice through Ethan's eyes. Ultimately it didn't matter because of the current circumstances, but it kind of ticked Ethan off.
"Right… Sure… You can't tell me your name or anything because of what's going on. That's cool… I think."
Location: Evacuation Ship, NTV
On the Evacuation Ship most of the rest of the two Ranger teams assigned to NTV were loading on the last of the civilians. Zhane -Silver Space Ranger- was helping people onto the Evacuation Ship alongside Mike Corbett -Magna Defender-, Daemon Henderson -Galaxy Green- and Karone -Galaxy Pink-. Inside the ship helping people sit down were T.J. Johnson -Black Space Ranger-, Cassie Chan -Pink Space Ranger- and Kai Chen -Galaxy Blue-.
As the last civilians were being loaded on, the rangers turned their attention to Carlos and two other Rangers. The two other Rangers were Maya -Galaxy Yellow- and Leo Corbett -Galaxy Red-. Carlos still had the girl in his arms and handed her to Daemon to set in the ship. NTV was being attacked hard. Most of the city was in ruins as it was. Next to Leo and Maya were two other civilians. One of them was a male and the other was female.
The female had blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. She wore a sweatshirt and yoga pants. Her hair was down and her glasses were fogged from all the running. She was an earth equivalent softball player back on her planet. Man how much she missed it. She went on the NTV after the last planet it stopped at. They were stowaways. She snuck on with her best friend whom was next to her. They tried getting away from the life that their last planet had instore for themselves.
The man was pretty big. If he ever played football, he'd be one of the best linebackers. He looked like he could have gotten a full ride to literally anywhere he ever wanted. He had curly brown hair and his baby blue eyes to compliment it all. Honestly he thought it was the best part of himself, but that was just his head talking.
The two young adults were lead to a part of the Evacuation Ship where they were set down by Karone. The boy sat next to the girl and looked at her. A tear rolled down her cheek as she was terrified. He bit his lip and looked forward and she grabbed his hand. He grabbed it back as he watched the large cargo doors close to the ship. He took a deep breath as only two rangers were in the ship. It was Daemon and Carlos. They demorphed and headed over to where the closest seats to strap up.
The closest seats were next to where the two best friends were. They sat down, Daemon being the closest to the two friends. He looked at them and raised his eyebrows before nodding his head. The man nodded his head back at the Ranger before letting his head fall back and look at the ceiling.
"I've got to give it to you Rangers. You've got some fuckin' guts."
Daemon chuckled and let his head fall back as well. He couldn't help but laugh at what he had said. Everything that was happened seemed like something straight out of a fairy tale… it was far too real to even believe. Daemon looked at the man next to him and nodded his head with another laugh.
"You can say that again. To be honest, would have never told you all those years ago that I'd be right here at this moment fighting this big ass battle… Instead, I probably would have told you that I'd be fixing the microwave in some old shitty ship."
The man next to Daemon laughed as he let his head rest back as the ship began to rumble. Daemon looked over at Carlos who had his eyes closed and his head down. He was still conscious and awake… but he was praying. He was praying to keep his sanity… To be able to walk out the other side of this hell. Daemon sure in hell didn't blame him. Daemon looked forward and the man looked at Daemon.
"Electrician?"
Austin asked looking at the man. Daemon chuckled and shook his head.
"No… Mechanic. But close enough."
"Gotcha. Makes sense. Name is Austin by the way. This one next to me is Courtney."
Daemon looked at the man -Austin- and then looked past him to the girl that was next to him -Courtney- and smiled before nodding his head.
"Daemon. My name's Daemon. This one next to me is Carlos."
Outside of the ship were the rest of the Rangers that were making sure everything was clear. Leo walked over to Zhane and took off his helmet. Zhane took off his helmet as well as Leo approached. Leo was gritting his teeth as he looked up in the sky at the Machine Empire fleet that was being held off by NTV's defense system. Leo looked back at Zhane before sighing.
"Have you heard from Andros? He went off com's a while ago. No idea where he is or if he's okay."
Zhane shook his head as the other Ranger's that were outside gathered around each taking off their helmets. Leo sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. The other Ranger's looked at Leo as he tried to come up with a plan. Zhane looked at the others before also proceeding to sigh.
"We still have to follow through with the plan. We need to get this Evacuation Ship in the air. We can't when we have the whole Machine Empire up our ass. So we need to clear the skies."
Zhane stated. The Rangers were silent for a moment before T.J.'s lightbulb went off. Once it did, it's like all the Ranger's in the circle saw it go off. They all looked at T.J. as he looked around at them and he shook his head.
"Oh no no no. You don't want to know my idea. In fact, I don't even want to know my idea."
Leo locked eyes with Zhane and then they both looked back at T.J. He closed his eyes as a disappointed look came across his face. T.J. opened his eyes back up and he backed up a bit before speaking back up.
"Well... We've been fighting a ground war this time and haven't even used one of our greatest weapons. Why don't we just use our Zords to clear the skies for the Evacuation Ship?"
All the Rangers looked around at each other before looking at Leo. Leo put his helmet back on before strapping it and nodding his head.
"Well, he's not wrong. We'll have three teams. Two for each of the Megazords and one to find Andros. I'll be on the team to find Andros, I want to take Zhane and Mike with me. The rest of you tackle the skies."
All of the Rangers looked around at each other before nodding their heads. They all put their helmets on and looked around at each other. Every one of them individually put their fists in the center of the circle before looking at Leo.
"Let's get this, Rangers. Remember why we're doing this. It's not to save our lives. It's to save everyone else. You know your teams and your assignments. The two teams that are in the Zords, take care of eachother. Alright. Rangers… Let's show them what we're made of."
Location: NTV
The fight continued to rage on. The shields around NTV were weakening and more and more of the Machine Empire's troops were getting through. Thankfully the Evacuation Ship was guarded at the safest place on New Terra. Ethan was running along side Andros heading towards a bunch of explosions on NTV. As they got closer, the area where the explosions were coming from was getting brighter and brighter.
Andros and Ethan got up on a ledge and looked down at where the explosions were coming from. They held up their hands in order to block the light but it just kept getting brighter.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ethan asked. Andros lowered his hand and squinted under his mask. He bit his lip looking at the explosions. The explosions weren't being caused by some sort of grenade or bomb. The explosions were opening to some sort of portals. There were a bunch of Cogs surrounding machines around the portals along with a Machine Empire General.
"They're opening portals for the Empire to get through. We need to hold off the troops as long as possible until the Evacuation Ship gets off New Terra Venture safely."
Ethan looked at Andros before looking back at the blinding portals. He pulled out his blaster before nodding his head.
"Sure… We can hold them off. But how do we know what's gonna come through those portals?"
Andros looked down at the Portals before looking back at Ethan. He pulled out his Spiral Saber and struck a pose on top of the ledge. Ethan looked at Andros and studied his pose before he looked at the portals and shook his head. He looked back at Andros and attempted to copy his pose, but failed miserably.
"We don't know what's gonna come through those portals. But I'll take my chances."
Andros stated. Ethan's eyes widened and he shook his head. Ethan was too far in to back out. He started to regret the whole "trying to be a hero" thing. Once Andros did a front flip into the enemies, Ethan knew it was definitely too late to back out. He took a deep breath before also jumping down and somersaulting on the ground to handle the impact.
Andros kicked a few back before striking them with his saber. The General that was with the Cog's looked at Anros and Ethan before laughing and heading straight for the machine that was controlling the portals. Ethan kicked a Cog in the face sending him back before front flipping over a Cog who swung it's weapon at him. After he landed he shot the Cog with his blaster a couple of times causing it to fall to the ground.
Ethan's attention whipped to The General that was running straight for the machine. Ethan aimed his blaster at The General and fired at him. The blasts from the gun made The General stumble backwards. Ethan stood up and began running towards the General for one on one combat. Andros turned his head to look at Ethan and immediate worry crossed his face.
"Ethan! Wait!"
Andros jumped over a Cog to chase after Ethan but was blown back by a blast. Andros slid across the ground and hit a wall causing him to demorph. His vision was blurred from the impact, but he could still hardly make out black crystalized boots walking towards him. He blinked a couple more times before he was lifted off the ground and his vision became clear.
He was lifted off the ground by the Red Psycho Ranger which made Andros lose his breath. He clenched his fists as the Psycho Ranger lifted him higher off the ground. Ethan was still running towards The General. The Machine Empire General stood still after he was done messing with the machine. He crossed his arms as Ethan ran towards him and the rest of the Psycho Rangers stepped out from the portal. Psycho Pink used her bow to fire at Ethan causing him to get blown back and hit a wall as well.
Psycho Blue and Psycho Black rushed over and held Ethan still as The General walked towards him. Andros was being held too tight by the neck to move his head, so he used his eyes to take a peak at Ethan as he began to lose vision. The General got closer to Ethan and pulled out his sword and stuck the tip to Ethan's throat.
"Another teenager to stop the forces of evil. The only problem is, this time you will never succeed."
The General stated. Ethan chuckled looking up at him before looking at the Psycho Rangers. Ethan sighed and let his head fall before biting his lip. The blade that pressed against his neck set him on edge just a bit. But not enough to phase him. Closed his eyes for a moment before looking back up.
"Yeah… One… I just like not even fifteen minutes ago agreed to fight the forces of evil. So I don't know exactly what I'm doing. But I promise you, when I get a hang of it… You'll get your ass kicked. And Two… I'm not a teenager dick. So like… Fight me like a man! Does that make me sound tougher?"
Ethan stated with a smirk. The General shook his head before removing the blade from Ethan's throat. He punched Ethan in the face causing blood to form in his mouth. Ethan's head whipped around from the impact and he spit out blood to the side. The General started walking towards Andros and signaled Psycho Red to put him down. Red did as asked and set Andros down. He gasped for breath before looking up at The General and letting his vision come back into focus.
"You Power Rangers don't know what it's like to lose. What it's like to have everything you've ever had burned in front of you. You've always known the stakes but every single one of you have always taken it for granted. But now I hope that you understand what is happening and you are bathing in the loss, Red Ranger. Soak the defeat in. Finally understand what it's like to lose. Accept your failure. And weep in your defeat."
Andros kept his eyes on The General as he spoke. He reached behind himself and wrapped his hand around a small metal electronic box. He flipped a switch on the side of it and a small red light on the box began blinking. He removed his hand from it and let his hand fall to the ground.
"You know what… Maybe we have lost. But there is always the same thing you asshole's never learn."
"And what's that Ranger?"
"We're the Power Rangers."
As soon as Andros said this, The General and Psycho Red were blown back from an explosion. Andros smiled and gained the strength to stand up. Once The General hit the ground, Ethan smiled before elbowing the two Psycho Rangers that were holding him in the gut allowing him to escape freely and roll towards Andros. Once he did, he stood up next to Andros and they both struck a pose… Ready to continue fighting.
