A RANGER KATASTROPHE PART 1

DISCLAIMER

A different take on the eps. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the characters you don't recognize and the new plot.

In the infirmary of the Angel Grove Animal Shelter, Aisha and Trini looked a black and white rabbit over thoroughly, checking its paws, ears, and various parts of the fur for signs of any problems. Presently, the owner of the shelter, Maria Rubens, came up to them.

"So, girls, how's our patient?" she asked.

"Well, he appears to be in perfect health," Aisha answered.

"Yeah, we checked his ears and paws, and there's no sign of fleas, ticks, or lice, and there was nothing in his paws and he's not in any pain," Trini added.

"That's great, girls. You know, it's volunteers like you two that keep places like this up and running," Maria told them.

"Well, we're happy to help out," Aisha said. Just then, they all heard the front door opening.

"Trini, would you mind seeing who that is?" Maria requested.

"Sure, I'd be happy to," Trini answered and went to the front. To her surprise, Katherine was walking in. "Kat, what's up?" she asked.

"My parents thought it would be a good idea for me to get a pet, so I thought I'd come here," the girl answered.

"What do you want: dog, cat, rabbit, ferret…?"

"You have ferrets here?" Trini nodded and led Katherine around and she glanced at the cages. What did she want? She hadn't been expecting her parents to urge her to get a pet, but she had wanted one for a long time. In of the cages, a small, yellow Labrador whined and pawed at the cage.

"Ohhhhh. It's so cute," Katherine breathed, stopping in front of the cage and stooping to get a better look at the animal.

"Yeah, he is," Trini answered.

"Does he have a name?" Katherine wondered.

"No, not yet," Trini replied.

"Do you mind if I hold him?" Katherine requested.

"Not at all," Trini responded and unlocked the cage. Outside, Goldar and Scorpina suddenly materialized. In Goldar's arms was a pitch black cat with dark red eyes. The two henchmen walked up to the door of the animal shelter.

"Now remember the plan. Gain the Rangers' trust, and then attack. But don't strike too soon or they'll catch on," Goldar told the cat, who let out a mew of agreement.

"Good kitty," Scorpina approved. She opened the door and Goldar placed the cat on the ground and the animal dashed into the shelter as the two disappeared.

"It's done, Empress," Goldar reported.

"Good. The Rangers won't know what hit them until it's too late," Rita approved.

"And the best thing is that this monster will take up a lot of Zedd's energy," Scorpina added in a low tone.

"And thanks to Finster, Zedd won't be any the wiser," Goldar finished. They laughed maliciously.
