BLUE RANGER GONE BAD
AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER
Basically the same, but I'm tweaking one thing and you'll just have to read to find out what it is. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots. Remember, I have it where Kimberly has a somewhat easier time translating Billy's techno-speak due to the events in "Switching Places".
In Angel Grove High's art class, Tommy, Adam, Jason, Kimberly, and Billy were all working on various projects. Tommy was sculpting, Adam was sanding, Kimberly was painting, Billy was working on some sort of round disc, and Jason was attempting to draw a picture. As they all did so, the art teacher, Mrs. Binx walked around supervising.
"Man, I never knew sculpting would be this hard," Tommy said to Kimberly.
"Or painting either," Kimberly agreed and then blew out a breath. Then, looking at Billy's project, which was a small disc that projected an image, "Hey, nice, Billy. Mirror."
"No, actually it's a hologram," Billy corrected. "The image that materializes transpositions depending on what manipulation you choose to perceive it," he continued.
"What did he just say?" a boy next to Jason asked in a whisper and the other boy shrugged.
"So, you're saying that the image shifts depending on what angle you view it from?" Kimberly queried. Jason stood up and headed for them.
"Precisely," Billy confirmed and then handed it to Adam, who held it up.
"Waves crashing on the beach. Cool," he said. Kimberly took the hologram and looked at an image of a yellow moon.
"Morphinominal, Billy," she told him. Then, someone came behind her. "Oh, hey, Marge. Look what Billy just made." The girl took it and saw the image of a crescent moon.
"It-it's beautiful, Billy. Most prodigious," she said shyly. "Would you like to see my project?"
"It'd be an honor." He walked over to her table as Mrs. Binx walked up to Bulk and Skull's table.
"Hey Mrs. Binx. What do you think?" Bulk asked. At first, she wasn't sure what to say. She wasn't quite sure what the lump of clay was supposed to be.
"Uh, well, it's very-" she began. Not being able to come up with anything, she tried again. "It's much like-" At Marge's table, she unveiled her project to reveal her project: a sculpture of Billy.
"Hey, wow. That's excellent, Marge," Tommy said.
"It looks just like you, Billy," Jason commented.
"Uh, yeah…it certainly does," Billy said nervously. Most puzzling. Why would she sculpt such a caricature? he wondered. "Um…thanks." He let out a nervous chuckle. "I guess." Whoa. I think Marge's feelings for Billy have grown, Kimberly thought to herself. And if the shy glances she had caught Billy throwing at the other girl were any indication, the feelings were definitely mutual. Meanwhile, Mrs. Binx had given up trying to come up with something about Bulk and Skull's project.
"What did you say it was?" she finally asked.
"This will be a statue of the Power Rangers," Bulk replied. "A timeless Bulk original for generations to enjoy and admire," he continued.
"And when they come to thank us-" Skull began. "We'll rip their heads off and show the world who they are!" he finished in a shout, twisting a chunk of clay and holding it up to the teacher's eye level.
"I think he got a little carried away with the plan," Adam whispered to Jason who laughed and nodded in agreement. The bell rang.
"Remember, you'll finish your projects and get a chance to show them off to the class," Mrs. Binx told them. Then, they started cleaning up. Marge walked over to Billy and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.
"Would you like to rendezvous at Ernie's?" she queried.
"Uh…affirmative. That sounds great," he agreed.
"Come on, let's get going," Tommy said, and they headed out. On the moon, Rita and Zedd seethed as they watched the Rangers.
"Oooh, those goody-goody Rangers make me sick. Time and time again they have foiled our plans. If only there was a way to stop them," Zedd grumbled.
"Oh, but there is! We steal their Morphers and then we crush them like the spineless humans they are," Rita responded.
"And how do you propose to get their Morphers, hmm? They're not going to willingly give them up you know," Zedd reminded.
"We'll place a spell on one of them," Rita answered.
"And under your spell, they'll steal the Morphers and you can destroy them," Scorpina said excitedly.
"What an excellent idea, Empress. But which Ranger will you choose?" Goldar wondered.
"I'll use young Billy of course," Rita answered and then cackled in delight.
