Ranger On The Run
Turbo, Un-Ignited
Today had been a standard call out for the Turbo Rangers; Divatox had sent down a monster and a detonator bomb. The rangers had managed to get rid of the monster before they resorted to calling out the megazord. It was down to the detonator.
"How do we defuse this one? There's no buttons?" Tanya yelled as the rangers clustered around the bomb. Tommy pushed past the others, and picked the detonator up. The bomb had previously been attached to a police vehicle, and had been chased down by the rangers in their cars; luckily the cop noticed and stopped the vehicle. The policeman was out of the area now. Tommy was running up a fire escape as the clock ticked down on the clear LED screen handily built into all detonators. Tommy climbed onto the roof of a building, they were near the waterfront. Tommy swung it and threw it as hard as he could towards the water. The bomb went off in mid air, showering a few pieces of plastic down onto the sea. Tommy climbed down the fire escape to receive the praise he deserved. Everyone had their weapons drawn, Tommy's sword was handed to him.
"Good job man." Justin thanked him. As that happened, another group of Pihranatrons jumped out. Tanya was blocking their attacks and landing her own on them. Kat was standing back firing at them. Adam was with her, shooting his cannon. Justin was crouched at the bonnet of a car, shooting. Tommy was away from the car, cutting them down with his sword. The enemies were gone quickly.
Another explosion followed this fight. A second detonator had been planted on the car. When the rangers tracked the car for a suspected detonator, they did not think to trace the car again once the first detonator had been removed.
Adam was the first to get up, the whole of the street had been damaged. Tanya was the next up. Then Tanya helped Kat up as Tommy gut up. No Justin, the car was upturned, and on fire, a small gloved hand stretched out underneath. Everyone's suit was charred and scratched.
"Justin!" Kat yelled, pointing to the hand. Tommy held her back. The car was on fire, so there could be no effort to remove it, even as rangers their uniforms weren't completely fireproof. The hand was lifeless, Justin was gone. Hopefully by the time the fire was put out Justin would be demorphed, and would have had a normal funeral. Large bangs could be heard from down town. Everyone looked up, it was a large robot was marching down the main road. It was now nearly night time. The robot was black, and vaguely resembled a human other than the elongated head.
"Look, Justin's blasters are still here. Maybe the R.A.M. can take care of him." Tanya pointed to Justin's Turbo Hand Blasters beside the upturned car that crushed him. Adam leant over and picked them up. The rangers ran down over to where the robot was wreaking havoc. The R.A.M. was assembled. The four members of the team aimed the weapon straight at the monster, and fired.
A bolt of energy hit the robot straight in the chest, and caused a small explosion. The monster was knocked back slightly, only to be enraged by the assassination attempt. The robot looked down, and saw the rangers. Tommy led the team to run away from the giant robot. Tommy ran around the corner, followed by Tanya, then Adam. Kat was not far behind. Tommy turned around to see her run as the bangs became faster and louder. Kat was crushed in an instant by the feet of the robot, who ran straight at her.
"NOO! Kat!" Tommy yelled, he was held back by Adam. Adam took them round the corner into an alley.
"Tommy! We have to call the megazord." Adam tried to put sense into the leader.
"No! We're going back, to get what's left of her body!" Tommy pointed back the way they came.
"Tommy, we have to destroy this monster, do you want both her and Justin to have died for nothing?" Adam shook his head.
"I agree." Tanya nodded. The megazord arrived, five different cars formed into one machine, the control room seemed different with only three rangers inside; it seemed bigger. They had to keep going, if only to destroy the robot. The Turbo Megazord charged onto the scene. The megazord slashed the robot across the chest with it's sword. The robot also bore a weapon, a blaster pistol. Of course this blaster pistol was the size of a minivan. The robot blocked a swing from the sword, and then kicked the megazord back. This enemy was different, it was not restricted for movement like so many monsters and other enemies that had grown to gigantic proportions over the years. The robot back flipped away to a safe distance, and then let loose with it's blaster. The Turbo megazord managed to summon the shield, but it had taken quite a few hits beforehand.
"Tanya; the megazord has taken quite a pounding. Our power levels can't take much more." Tommy yelled.
"We can't give up now!" Adam yelled.
"Guys, our power's failing, we'll be sitting ducks." Tommy sighed.
"We have to try." Tanya explained.
"Then continue without me. Two friends have died before my eyes today, I can't stay around to watch you two go as well." Tommy shook his head, he left the megazord. Seconds after he did so, the megazord burst into flames.
