Genre: Action/Adventure/Romance
A/N: This is a Romance fic. It's also Action and Adventure. I'll accept suggestions for coupling although I believe Marah/Dustin and Tori/Blake might already be a given. send me CREATIVE criticism and anyone who flames me should be warned I have a volatile temper and can not be held responsible for my probably overkill actions in getting even. The Action probably will get toned down later on and I might end up increasing the rating. Yes I know I'm a lousy writer with no talent or skill, but I'm still writing so tough. When the muse strikes I scribble. If you want me to continue.Review! Send me the couples you want to see and I'll put the most popular in. But I'll only accept the suggestions if they accompany Reviews and reasons.
Closing his eyes he breathed out and leapt. The Kelzacks never looked up. Landing on the chandelier like ceiling adornment, it swung with only a creak. 'Did you find him?' shrilled Kapri.
The looks to their feet betrayed the Kelzacks and earned them a blast from the pink haired villain-ess. Stamping she turned on her heel and marched out of the room. He'd gotten so close.and then it struck.
The crimson bands of electricity leapt from the ruby studded bands on his wrists and he dropped to the ground with a painful grunt. Lothar looked down as he entered. 'Another escape attempt.he's getting good at them.perhaps its time for him to do more then watch for us.'
Zurgane gave a small and humourless laugh of agreement. 'Yes sir! He needs to be taken down a step or two. I recommend twenty years in the stockades' We don't have stockades' Marah said. 'Do we?'
'Perhaps its time to make him.remember.'Lothar's voice was crueller and colder then normal. He reached forwards and gripped the brown hair in his fingers. 'This will hurt a bit' he grinned nastily.
The boy screamed.

'What's this do?'
'That's for calibrating the zords weapons. Put it down'
'How does it do that?'
'It runs a series of numbers through the computers and matches them with the base settings. Put it down' Cam repeated.
'Sheesh all right!' There was a pause. 'What's this do?'
'That's a small vacuum. I imagine you've never used one'
'Hey!'
'Hunter I have seen your room'
Cam slid out from under the computer console sure he had fixed the problem. 'There we go. And never open another e-mail about Anna Kornikova ever again'
'Once off I swear' Hunter said raising his hands in defeat. He ran a hand through his blond hair and put the vacuum down. 'I'll leave all the tech to you.'
'You say that so often' Cam sighed. 'But never mean it'
'This time I do.I think' Hunter murmured.
Cam sat back at the controls. 'It'll take me a few minutes to get CyberCam rebooted from the memory banks. Just as well the worm didn't get in there.'
'Yup' Hunter said as he stuffed several sticks of gum into his mouth and set to work chewing up a bubble. There was silence for a few seconds broken only by the chewing of Hunter.
'At least you won't irritate me about this' Cam said. And spoke to soon as the bubble exploded and splattered him with Cherry-Cola pink-red gum. 'Thanks for that' he growled.
'No problem' Hunter chimed in. He began peeling the gum off his face. Cam pulled off his glasses and peeled a layer of gum off him.
'This'll mess up the lenses' he sighed.
'Get contacts' advised Hunter.
Cam shook his head. 'We have to be prepared; lately Lothar's been getting insightful into our moves. We're getting predictable I think'
'Hey, what else can we do other then start relearning?' Hunter chuckled.
'Maybe then you'd learn basic manners at least' grunted Cam.
Before Hunter could reply an alarm started up. Cam flicked some gum off the keyboard and tapped the keys. 'They're in the factory district!'
'Let's roll!' Hunter said as he moved towards the portal.
'Roll?' Hunter said to no one in particular as he pushed himself to his feet and rushed to teleport out.
***
'There's no one here' remarked Hunter.
'There has to be' Dustin said. 'Like, the scanners say there is.though you and your hunger for babes might've screwed that up too.'
'There-is-no-one-here' Hunter said. 'And you'd have opened that e-mail in a flash too!'
Before Dustin could retort someone moved behind them, darting across behind them. Shane spun to fire at whatever he could see. There was nothing.
'Rangers!'
Marah and Kapri stood on a walkway above them in the huge warehouse. 'You guys are too-gullible!'
'Ambush?' Blake asked.
'Ambush' agreed Tori. 'Like we didn't figure that out before hand.'
The Kelzacks appeared and charged straight at the rangers.it took all of ten minutes to destroy them completely.
'This is totally not fair!' Marah said. 'They never get more then a few punches and kicks from the Kelzacks!'
'You mean you aren't used to it yet?' exclaimed Dustin.
'Go back to the boy scouts!' hissed Kapri viciously. 'We've still got our trump card! Come and get them please!'
She and Marah teleported down to the Rangers level as someone stepped from between the pair. He was dressed in black and white. His black suit had white lines at certain areas. He had white lined boots with daggers jutting from them and a pair of black and red gauntlets with a ruby in each. His helmet was a black visor on a gold and white shell. He wore a belt with a strange circular buckle on it.
The sign was a curved black teardrop with a white circle in it up near the top left of the buckle. The guy advanced.
'We have our own ranger now!' sneered Kapri. 'Kill them!'
She pointed her finger and the black ranger advanced.
Cam moved forwards. The blaster was in the Black Rangers hand; he fired and blew Cam into a wall. Swiftly moving he rolled aside from another blast. Kapri and Marah pointed their staffs and fired blast at the rangers to keep them off balance.
'Prepare to die!' the ranger sneered at Tori. She kicked at him, he knocked her foot aside but she caught him with an uppercut to the chin. He spun and backhanded her into a wall. He swung his hand out at her.
'Web site mode' he instructed the voice controls. The glowing green spiders web shot out. Blake spun his staff and leapt out in front of the oncoming strands of energy. 'I don't think so! Thunder Shield!'
The blast staggered him but the shield protected him from the energy web. 'Annoying' growled their enemy. 'Find someone else to play with.' He tugged on the web and dragged away the shield.
'Ahh!' shouted Blake as he was slammed in the ribs easily by a careful blade kick by the Black Ranger. Shane leapt forwards and landed a kick on the back of their attacker. The ninja in black staggered and twisted. He and Shane exchanged blows and blocks quickly before the Black Ninja swept Shane's legs from under him, knocking him to the ground swiftly and efficiently.
Dustin, Hunter and Cam went after Kapri and Marah. The pair ran off into the storage crates of the warehouse. 'Leave Marah to me! You guys take care of Kapri!' Dustin said, running off after the woman who had betrayed him recently so no one could argue with him on the point.
'Here we go' groaned Hunter. 'This'll all end in tears'
'Stay here' Cam said. 'I'll take Kapri, the others need you!'
Grudgingly Hunter nodded and let the green Samurai run off after the pink haired fiend at top speed.
Hunter took a deep breath and fired his Crimson Blaster. The Black Ranger fell forwards and didn't move. Hunter paused. 'That was all it took?'
He walked forwards with Blake, Shane and Tori.
'Weird' decided Tori. 'He didn't really put up a fight'
'You'll pay' the Black Ranger said. He rose to his feet like he was on a hinge and arched into a jack-knife-flip, landing his feet on Hunters shoulders and flipping backwards, throwing Hunter across the room.
'Would it be too much to ask about what we have to pay for?' Shane asked as he swung his sword sharply down. The Black Ranger blocked the blade with his own and kicked out directly into his solorplexus. Shane slammed into a crate and shattered the wood, landing with a groan in the splintered box he reached for his blade.
'I imagine you don't remember, they told me how much you murdered.after so long it's probably all the same.'
Tori slammed her foot into his back and Blake kicked up into his face. The Black Ranger cried out as he flipped backwards from the kicks. He landed and struggled to his feet.
'That hurt' he hissed. He pulled two shapes from his boots. The sai was a weapon they'd heard about.not necessarily for ninja's at the Wind Academy though. It was three blades; the two shorter ones at the sides and the long narrow one in the middle. The Black Ranger attacked swiftly. He spun and slashed left and right at the four rangers. 'But not as much as this!' he added as he thrust his knee into Hunters stomach and rolling over his back while grabbing the Crimson rangers shoulders. On landing he hurled Hunter straight into Tori.
'Next' chuckled the Black Ranger.
***
Dustin crept along the boxes outside the warehouse; she had escaped out a side door to the dock-loading bay lined with row upon row of crates. Marah was an all right fighter; she could do pretty well actually. But he knew this would be a one sided fight.
'Marah!' he shouted.
'I don't want to fight!' the voice echoed. 'Back off already! I am totally not interested in a fight!'
'Who is the guy back there?'
There was a pause, not silence, just an audible pause from Marah. 'He's a Ranger. That's all I'm going to tell you!'
'Marah, come out! We have a score to settle'
'Fine!' the cry was angry. He wasn't ready for her to leap off a crate and corkscrew spin into him, her heels striking like a drill blade. She flipped off his body and held her staff at the ready.
'That's a new move' Dustin remarked touching his chest where she'd hit him. He drew his sword and advanced. Marah looked different. She'd dropped the giant bee hat in favour of a kind head set that reminded Dustin of an Egyptian Queens crown and the head of one of the Aliens from the "ALIEN" movies. It arched out behind her head slightly. She wore her red and black leathery bodice and long black gloves but the braids by her face were tied with yellow braids.
Her dark purple trousers had yellow bands on them.as did her boots gloves and she even wore a yellow choker.
'New look?' he murmured. He hadn't noticed until now.
The two bee eyes on her headset stood up on her brow.and glittered darkly. She looked grim.She spun and her fuchsia boot connected in a crescent kick with his head. He was surprised with her speed but arched his body into a side spring like move to land on his feet and twist to face her.
She used her staff like a pole-vaulter and slammed into him. He rolled aside from her stomp as he lay on the ground and swept her feet from under her. She landed on her backside and squealed. He dodged a blast from her staff and swung his sword. She blocked it with her staff the result of the force was to send both weapons flying upwards into the air.
'Guess we do this the old fashioned way!' Dustin said.
Marah dodged his fist but not his kick. She stood on one leg, her upper body horizontal, and then the flipped, her foot slashed across him. He blocked the next swing of the leg and slipped her leg from under her, she landed into a roll and shoved her feet out at him, balancing on her hands.
'Where'd you learn all of this?' grimaced Dustin as her feet connected and knocked him back. He attacked and landed a flurry of punches. Marah staggered back and he kicked her in the ribs.
((I can do this!)) He thought. ((I can fight better! So why amn't I?)) And with that he and Marah attacked one another.
***
Kapri slammed her staff into Cam's stomach and swung the end around into the side of his head. Cam shouted out in pain and rolled with his aching landing. Kapri had definitely improved.
'What did you do?' he groaned. 'Fall asleep in front of the Xena Channel?'
'There's a Xena Channel?' Kapri murmured.
'So I've heard!' Cam said hastily.
He swung his blade. Kapri countered with her staff and forced his blade down to the ground, she slammed her leg forwards into his chest and he twisted into a hook kick across her face. They forced themselves apart. Kapri grabbed his arm as he attacked and twisted him around, shoving him face first into a metal storage crate.
'So sorry baby!' she cackled. They stood near the very back of the Warehouse; Kapri had ambushed Cam and was now demonstrating her improved fighting skills.
Cam had to admit it was an improvement on her attacks. He blocked her punch and countered with a jab to her chest. He twisted and slammed a palm into his ribs. Suddenly a blast of red light forced them apart. Hunter fired his blaster again and Kapri conjured up some sort of protective field.
'You okay?' Hunter asked.
'Fine' Cam reassured him. 'But she's gotten better at hand-to-hand. It caught me off guard is all.'
'My turn!' Hunter exclaimed, turning to face off against her. The pink haired woman was dressed in a red and green version of her usual costume with red bands and dragons on her legs and arms. Her nails were longer and dark red. Her hair was tied with spiked black bands and her heels were made of steel.
'Bring it on you dork!'
Hunter smirked beneath his helmet. 'Ten to One you've never seen this move before!'
He rushed forwards. 'It's called the Spinning Thunder!'
He grabbed her weapon wielding right arm and swung her around on the spot. He grabbed her other arm after a few spins and swung her like an Olympic hammer thrower. Abruptly she twisted her body, landing and swinging him vertically over her head from right to left and slamming him through a crate. Hunter sparked and shouted in pain. Cam winced and attacked. 'Hang on Hunter, you still owe me a new keyboard!'
***
Lothar watched the fights on the view screen. His nieces were impressive he had to admit. The training had helped. Maybe the pair would get better at evil now.
***
Dustin chased Marah around the corner and back into the warehouse. He followed her shape down the passages of the crates. He skidded to a halt. She had leaded him to the battle again.
'Me or your friends!' she said as she aimed her sceptre at him. Kapri reappeared; the Crimson Ranger and the Green Samurai followed. Hunter was in bad shape; he was being supported by Cam.
The Black Ranger was taking a lot of punishment. His sai daggers flashed and forced Shane back, but let Tori get in a swipe with her Sonic Fin. Kapri and Marah watched and laughed.
'A little Help!' Blake shouted as he slammed his staff into the Black Rangers chest and swept the berserkers legs from under him. The Black Ranger leapt to his feet and planted both fists on Shane's chest. Dustin moved fast and used his sword to catch the sai strike, trapping a gap between an outer blade and the primary one.
'Not so fast!' he said.
The rangers gathered around the Black Ranger, ready to fight.
'I may be good' he said. 'But not that good.I guess I'll have to surrender.' He raised his hands. 'NOT!'
He spun into the air. Marah and Kapri took their queue and teleported out as he landed and drew his twin blades. 'This will be bad!' he sneered. She spun and hacked the air. The white and black lines flitted about.
'That's it?' Hunter scoffed as he looked at himself. 'We're not even scratched!' 'I wasn't aiming for you!' laughed The Black Ranger.
A red and green glow flared from his forehead, bursting from his helmet and engulfing him in a blaze of red and green light. He shimmered out of the warehouse with a final warning.
'Don't sneeze!'
Blake looked at the others. 'What did he mean?'
And just then the building collapsed in on them.

Well? R&R and remember that I might get angry if you Flame me and you will not like me angry.The fact it's bad is a given but that's beside the point.any suggestions to help it rise in general goodness would be nice.
