Gone
Screaming. People were screaming. They were also running. Running away from the alien that had begun attacking them in downtown NewTech.
The alien was six feet tall, sporting glowing yellow eyes, a head in the shape of a diamond, broad shoulders with spikes sticking out of them and gauntlets over his forearms, and he wore silver armor covering his torso, legs, and feet. Lastly, he wore a black leather sash containing orbs on them and was brandishing a laser blaster.
The alien blasted into random directions, not caring about who or what he shot. He laughed at the sight of the fleeing citizens.
"Yes, humans, flee! Run like the pathetic species you are!" the alien roared as he fired more shots onto buildings, rubble falling to the ground. "Haha, where are your rangers, humans?!" he mocked. But before the alien could fire again a red blast struck him from behind. The alien fell forward. He growled underneath his breath as he brought himself up and turned around to see five rangers running towards him.
"Stop! S.P.D.! You're under arrest!" The Red Ranger shouted as he fired two more shots.
The alien leaped out of the way and returned fire. The rangers dodged the attack and charged at the alien. Blue ran in first, throwing several punches toward the alien, who merely blocked his attacks and kicked Blue in the chest, sending him flying off. Yellow and Green came in next and began throwing punches and kicks. Green managed to kick the alien at his side, allowing Yellow to elbow the alien in the chest and do a spinning heel kick that knocked the alien back.
The alien growled and fired shots at the two rangers but both Yellow and Green managed to dodge his attack.
Red and Pink charged at the alien, followed by Yellow, Green, and Blue. Red blasted the alien making him stumble backwards. Pink drew out their sword and slashed the alien across his chest, damaging one of the orbs on the sash and knocking it off. Yellow punched the alien several times and both Blue and Green took out their blasters and shot the alien four times each.
The alien fell backwards, dropping his blaster as he did so. He shakily stood up and faced the rangers, surprised to see the five rangers aiming their blasters at him.
"Fire!" Red shouted and they all fired simultaneously.
The alien screamed in pain as the combined surge of energy rippled throughout his body, shattering his armor and the orbs that were strewn across his sash.
"Alright, time to finish him for good," Red said as he took out the bone-shaped key for R.I.C.. "Kat, send out R.I.C.." Red spoke into his communicator.
In a matter of seconds, R.I.C. had appeared. Red threw the bone into the air, R.I.C. jumping up to catch the object in his mouth and transforming himself into the Canine Cannon. The rangers fell into formation and caught the Canine Cannon, aiming it at the alien.
"No!" the alien shouted as he held out his hands.
"Fire!" said all five rangers and the cannon fired, striking the alien and creating a small explosion. Once the explosion subsided, all that was left was the alien's containment card.
"Good work everyone. You too R.I.C.," complimented Red as R.I.C. returned to his normal form.
All five rangers powered down, leaving Sky in his red uniform, Bridge in his blue, Z in her yellow, Syd in her pink, and Darian in his green.
"Wow, that was exciting," said Darian with a huge grin on his face. The young man was the same height as Bridge, but sported black hair styled into a buzz cut, a strong jawline, blue eyes, and a tanner complexion than Bridge.
"I'm glad you think so," Syd replied as she walked over to the alien's containment card, picked it up, and put it in her pocket. She then turned to grab the alien's discarded blaster. "We don't want to leave this here now, do we?" she commented.
"Yeah. You know, we haven't had much serious alien attacks on the city ever since we defeated Gruumm," Bridge added. "So, Darian, how does it feel to finally be wearing the Green Ranger uniform?" Bridge asked.
"It's great! After a year of getting the morpher and not being able to use it during that time, it's incredible to finally be using these powers." Darian took out his morpher and beamed at it.
"That's great to hear, Darian. You know, you were pretty good today, fighting the the alien. You're going to make a fine ranger," Sky said that made Darian smile even wider. "Alright, let's head back to base." Sky turned on his heels and began walking away, followed by the others.
Just as Z was about to follow, she noticed something small and spherical on the ground. "Wait guys. We forgot something."
"What is it?" Sky stopped and asked.
"It looks like one the orbs that was on the sash the alien was wearing. I'll go get it." Z turned back around and ran to the orb that lay on the ground. The orb was damaged from earlier, a small crack appearing on its surface. Just as Z was about to grab it, the orb glowed white and shot out a vortex that begun sucking in Z.
Z tried to run but the suction of the vortex was too strong and Z felt herself being dragged back. The other four rangers ran back to retrieve her. Sky grabbed her hand and began to pull Z back. But it appeared that the vortex's suction was becoming stronger as Z's feet were lifted from the ground and felt her grip loosen on Sky's hand.
"Hold on, Z!" Sky said as he took a firmer stance to the ground, he himself feeling sucked into the vortex. The other rangers had to hold him down.
"I...I can't...hold on." Z felt her fingers slipping. She tried to grab Sky's hand with her other one but the suction of the vortex prevented her from reaching with her other hand.
"Don't let go!" Sky strengthened his grip but it was too much. Z's fingers finally gave way and she screamed as she was sucked into the vortex. Sky and the others fell back.
The vortex finally closed, leaving the orb on the ground and four rangers staring shocked into where their friend had disappeared into.
This is my very first Power Rangers story, and the first time since I've written something and posted to this site. I have another story on this site that I need to work on. Anyways, I hope my battle scene was clear, battle scenes aren't really my specialty when it comes to writing. But I hope you enjoyed this chapter and stick around for what it so come.
