THE OTHER RANGER
Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers or otherwise there wouldn't too much fuss between Disney and Saban. I also don't own any other names mentioned here.
Warning: It's been years since I last saw Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and I only see bits and pieces of it on YouTube, so bear with me, and help me correct whatever mistakes I might make on this.
Takes place after the Power Transfer. Originally it was going to be after Return of the Green Ranger where it would have made more sense, but I wanted a bigger gap between now and when they start their quest for the ninja powers.
This is a rebuild; mainly I just combined the other two chapters with this one, trying to make each chapter like a whole episode.
Billy Cranston, the Blue Ranger, was helping to dig up some fossils with the science class. Right now he was wishing he was back in his garage trying to come up with some new inventions. The day wasn't a total lost since he has Adam Park, the Black Ranger, and Aisha Campbell, the Yellow Ranger, with him to enjoy the experience with.
The brown haired boy turned to see the latest member in their group, Will Walker. Even though he wasn't a Power Ranger himself, Will proved himself to be a decent person, even though this was Will's second day at school. Their friend Rocky DeSantos, the Red Ranger, introduced him to the group after meeting the boy during history class, just between classes. While he proved himself to be a friendly, Will is still a bit of a mystery. The only thing they know about him is that he seems to be balances enough as it is from showing everyone how much he knew academically to holding his own when it came to martial arts, other then that they don't know much else about him since he doesn't talk about himself at all, except for his name, that he moves around a lot and that, in his own words, he won't tell them anything else until he has completely warmed up to them.
Right now Will was using an archeologist's brush in some random spot, until he uncovered what looked like a large circle with a lizard's footprint in the center. "What in the world?" Will asked, before touching the symbol. The symbol glowed for a quick second until a large gold coin floated out of the grounded and landed into his hand. He looked down to see that it had the same image as the symbol, while some green energy shot into him, not realizing what he got himself into.
Command Center
With in a blue glowing tube, a giant head appeared when two jolts of energy shot out of two smaller towers, "Alpha I feel a powerful energy awakening, something familiar." He said.
"Checking on it now Zordon." A small robot with a flying saucer for a head, stepped up to a computer that looked like it came off of the bridge of the original starship Enterprise. When it got the readout, "Ai yi yi Zordon, the Green Ranger's powers have awakened, but it's coming from a different source, not the original coin."
"I can sense something involving the space-time continuum." Zordon said, "Which means that something has happened some time in the past that I haven't noticed or it hasn't happened yet. Right now the power is awake and has not been yet activated."
"I'm pulling it up on the viewing globe now." Alpha 5 said, before a picture started to appear on the blank globe behind started to reveal a brown haired boy talking to three of their rangers, "Well, hopefully this one would have a better start then Tommy has." He said, "Should I alert the others?"
Zordon thought about it for a bit before saying "No, Let's leave them be for now. If the need arises, we'll make sure to use him as back up for just in case."
Zedd's Palace
Lord Zedd has sensed the somewhat new ranger power as well and he is watching what is going on down on earth. He has taken a person interest in the new guy ever since he watched Will go up against the Rangers' best fighter and manages to keep up. At first he wanted to turn into a Power Ranger and have him take out the six multi-colored thorns in his side, but he didn't want to take the risk of the boy becoming good again and giving the rangers a brand new color considering what happened when Rita Repulsa forced Tommy into becoming the first Green Ranger.
"Goldar go tell Finster monster ready to give the rangers a fight they will never forget." Zedd ordered his only warrior with a big enough brain. Zedd looked like somebody whose body was inside-out with a chrome finish on some parts of his body and what looked like the front of a steam locomotive on his face.
"Yes milord." Goldar replied obediently to his master's order. He looked like an armored monkey with wings, and he is only loyal to those who are more evil "Shall I send down the putties to test out the boy as well my lord."
Zedd rubbed his chins before replying "Yes and make sure that the rangers are around so that way they can see their friend turn against them."
Back on Earth
School was officially out for the day and the rangers agreed to have a day in the park to help Will get better used to Angel Grove since he didn't have much time to try since his family moved here the day before he had to start school. Right now they're letting Will teach them a little bit of Tai Chi, which he explained has helped him plenty in keeping focused on everything. The girls and Adam were getting into it while the rest were trying to keep up.
It wasn't until when they got into the final position when 21 of Zedd's Putty Patrol appeared out of nowhere. All 6 rangers were able to make quick works out of their batches and turned to see how their friend is doing only to see that he already took out 3 of his 7 and he hasn't even come close to breaking a sweat. He used one of the putties as a wall and jump off of its chest to do a strong reverse roundhouse kick across the head of the one behind him and as soon as he landed, Will did a quick sweep kick of the remaining two, causing them to hit each other in the chest.
"How are you doing Will?" Tommy asked, feeling a bit impressed and worried at the same time.
When one of the putties he knocked down came back up to go for a sneak attack, without even looking Will elbowed the putty hard into the chest and followed it up with a punch in the face, "Oh I'm just peachy." He answered just as the putty started to disappear.
"Man those were some crazy moves you just pulled." Rocky said.
"Thanks and I see that Tai Chi helped you out with your moves." Will shot back with a brief smile before asking "What was that about?"
Before any of them could answer "It was a test to see if you had the potential to serve my lord." All seven got into an attack position when they turned to face Goldar with what looked like a miniature red dragon with knight armor on its body, (kind of like Megahorn off of Mystic Force, but more on the smooth side.) "Now Dragladin get that boy under your spell now." Just as the monster's eyes started to glow, Will disappeared in a flash of green light. "Hey where did he go?" He asked before an evil smirk appeared on his face, "Doesn't matter because today will become your last Power Rangers."
"That's what you think Goldar." Tommy said before saying those three famous words "It's morphing time!"
"Tigerzord!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber Tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
The Power Rangers are now suited up and ready to put up a fight.
Zedd was watching the whole thing and was furious. "Oh curse that Zordon. He just had to interfere with my plans as always." He said, while tightening the grip around his staff, "I'm going to personally enjoy in the satisfaction that his precious rangers are finally defeated for good."
At the Command Center, he was watching the viewing globe while his friends, in their ranger uniforms, are busy fighting both Goldar and Dragladin and the later is proving to be too strong for them due to it's tough hide and even tougher armor. When he managed to get his bearings straight, he was a bit uneasy when it felt like he had landed into some low budget sci-fi movie with a robot built by the lowest bidder and a huge talking head yet he didn't start freaking out when he heard Tommy's voice saying something about morphing time and turned just in time to see his new friends change into the Power Rangers.
Will had his arms crossed while he watched his friends get knocked flat onto the ground for the umpteenth time, and now it was time for him to take the initiative. "Can you scan that monster to see if it has any kind of weaknesses, especially the armor?" He asked.
"I'm on it." Alpha said. When it got the scans completed, "It says here that its weakness is right in the middle of its back."
Will turn to face Zordon, "I'm guessing this is where I come in." He said.
"Yes Will, and while normally I would tell you about the powers you choose to take on, this time it's the powers that chose you." Zordon said, just as a gold belt buckle (don't ask, don't complain, most of the stuff I read said that Tommy's morpher from his Green Rangers days was a gold one) appeared onto the table in front of Will, "You need to insert the Dragon Coin into the slot of this morpher and call upon the powers of the Green Rangers in order to be able to use them."
Will picked up the morpher and inserted the coin, feeling the power of the coin flowing through him even stronger then before. He turned towards Zordon and said the next three words while placing his hand behind his back, making it official "Its Morphin' Time!"
"Dragonzord!"
A new Green Ranger has arrived.
The rangers are busy struggling to get back up onto their feet, "We can't let them get their hands on Will, no matter what the reason is." Aisha said.
"I know Aisha, but what can we do." Kimberly asked her friend.
"You can wait for your demise." Goldar said, getting an attack ready.
"Not while I'm around." Goldar looked up just in time to receive a kick in the face, knocking him into Dragladin.
When the person landed, the three newer rangers were in shocked, while the other three felt like they were looking at something that came from the past. There standing in front of them stood the Green Ranger. When he stood straight up, he turned around to face the team he will be working with. "How is this possible?" Tommy asked.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Zedd was angry while Rita looked like she was about to faint on the spot. Down on Earth was the Green Ranger, and it wasn't Tommy since he also down there as the White Ranger. 'How could this be?' She started thinking to herself 'I thought Zedd whipped out the Green Ranger's powers for good.'
Back on Earth . . .
When Goldar recovered, he was just as surprised, "Oh no, Lord Zedd is not going to be happy with this." He said, while getting back up, "Go Dragladin, destroy those rangers."
"Save the questions for after we clobber this guy okay." Will said.
"Yeah but how are we suppose to do that?" Adam asked, while he and the rest finally got back up onto their feet.
"I had Alpha do a little scan and as it turns out its back is its weak spot." Will explained, "Right now you guys go ahead and rest up for a bit while I go take care of it."
Before any of them could stop them, the Green Ranger charged in and started to exchange blows with the monster, only to have better luck. All he was doing at the moment was just going on defense, blocking each blow while waiting for the right opening. When Dragladin try to use his tail, Will leapt over both the tail and the monsters body. When he landed, he quickly pulled out the Dragon Dagger and took a strong swipe at the monster's back.
Goldar was now angry so he decided to go for a sneak attack by launching an energy attack, which the rookie ranger was able to jump out of the way just in time for the monster to receive it instead. While the monster decided to have a little 'chat' with the blue monkey, the Green Ranger returned to his friends.
"Hey, since they're a little preoccupied with each other . . ." Will say hoping his friends would get the hint.
Fortunately they did, "Then let's give them something to remember us by." Rocky said.
"Right, form the Power Blaster." Tommy ordered.
While the main five were getting their weapons put together, "Hey, White Ranger, how about we give them a little something extra." Will said while holding the Dragon Dagger up as a clue.
Tommy nodded at this, "I'm right with you, Green Ranger." He said, while pulling out Saba. Just as Rocky placed the final piece onto the Power Blaster, all the rangers got into position.
"Unity Blast." All seven yelled out before firing their blasts, with seven powerful energy streams emerging into one huge energy stream, before it hit the targets.
Back on the moon, Zedd was now furious, "Oh I'm going to make that Green Ranger pay for this." He said, while pointing his staff towards the planet, "Make my monster grow."
Return to Earth
Before the rangers could even begin to celebrate, what seemed like a lightning storm struck the two monsters, making them taller then most skyscrapers.
The first six knew immediately what to do. The main five called out "We need Thunderzord power now!"
"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord power up!"
"Pterodactyl-Firebird Thunderzord power up!"
"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord power up!"
"Saber Tooth Tiger-Griffin Thunderzord power up!"
"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord power up!"
The five zords started to form into the Thunder Megazord, which when completed, looked like an old fashion samurai.
"Tigerzord!"
A large white tiger jumped out of the mountains. Tommy jumped into the cockpit.
"Tigerzord, Megazord Mode!"
Tommy yelled out, while inserting Saba into a slot, causing the zord to change into an almost manlike shape.
While watching his friends take on the two monsters, the Dragladin proving to be more difficult, even though the two megazords had their swords out, Will's communicator started to come to life, "Will come in!" Zordon's voice rang out.
"What is it Zordon?" Will asked.
"You can summon the Dragonzord by playing the Dragon Dagger." Zordon informed him.
"Thanks Zordon. Summoning it now." Will said, before bringing the dagger back out of its sheath, "Dragonzord, arise!" He yelled out before placing the mouthpiece to the metallic lips of his helmet, and started to play the notes needed to summon his zord.
The water at Angel Grove Harbor started to bubble like crazy until it burst open to reveal what looked like a mechanized Godzilla. Dragonzord started to make its way towards the battle.
Just as Goldar and Dragladin was about to deliver another blow to the two megazords, they were knocked flat onto their backs after being pelted by a few blasts from out of nowhere.
"Where did those come from?" Adam asked.
"Look, the Dragonzord is heading this way." Kimberly said.
Just as soon as the Dragonzord walked up between the pair, "It doesn't matter you're all going to be destroyed anyway." Goldar said, while both got back up onto their feet.
"Wanna bet?" Will yelled out, before playing the next set of music. The Dragonzord chest plate started lighting up before the spear tip of its tail started to spin like a drill. With a strong swing, the tail struck both monsters, this time destroying Dragladin's armor completely, "Okay you guys, I'm pretty sure you can finish this."
"You got that right!" Tommy yelled out, "Do it guys!"
The Thunder Megazord's sword was struck by lightning, before it was use to strike the finishing blow to Dragladin, causing the monster to literally fall down and go boom.
"Until we meet again!" Goldar said before teleporting out of there.
Zedd's Palace
Rita had a hand on her head, "Oh I've got a terrible headache, Zeddy." She said.
Zedd, on the other hand, was about to blow his top, "Grrrr, I'm going to make the rangers pay. It doesn't matter how many they have, I will conquer the world, one way or another." He said.
Command Center
The rangers are all standing in the Command Center, the Green Ranger being the only one with his helmet on. "Man that was one crazy battle." Rocky said.
"I know if it wasn't for the Green Ranger, then who knows how long that would have turned out." Aisha said.
"Agreed, although I'm pretty sure we would all like to know who it is, since Tommy is standing right here." Billy said.
"So would you please show us your face?" Tommy asked his new teammate.
"You mean you haven't figured it out yet." The Green Ranger said, before releasing the latches holding his helmet together.
When the helmet came off, the rest of the rangers were surprised to see who's face was behind it, "Will?" Adam said.
"Yes, and now that Zedd knows that the Green Ranger powers have returned he will try even harder until he accomplishes his goals." Zordon said, "Now Will, you must remember to use your powers wisely and not to tell anybody what you have learned today." He then turned to Tommy, "Tommy, before we go any further, would you hold any ill feelings about Will being the new Green Ranger?"
All eyes are on Tommy. Will stepped up, "You used to be the Green Ranger, right?" He asked, before sticking out his hand, "I hope this won't change anything between us Tommy."
Tommy looked at the hand, before looking up at the face of its owner, "No, it might take some getting use to, but we're cool." He said before accepting the hand.
One by one, the rest of the rangers placed their hands onto the other two's hands, "As are the rest of us." Billy said.
After the rest gave a small nod, with a small smile, confirming what he said. A couple seconds later, they all threw their hands up into the air, yelling "Go, go Power Rangers!"
Here is the first (and extended version) chapter to this story. Those who read it before, I just merged the last two chapters into this one, and decided to make each chapter like one episode, so wish me luck and let me know if I messed up somewhere since it's been awhile since I watched the series. Read and Review.
