Power Rangers: RPM is owned by Disney and whomever else, which does not include me, but I did create Ghest, his concept and history, and all other Morphozoids mentioned myself. This is my first time writing a story featuring characters I did not create, but the temptation to team up my creation with my favorite superheroes was too inviting. So that nobody asks this later, let me say right here that the word Ghest is pronounced "Geest", and also that anyone interested in learning more about him and his kind's origins can contact me via message.
In an unassuming apartment in Victoria, B.C., Canada, Fries Mahoghan is preparing for his next adventure. A member of the Morphozoid species hailing from the planet Diactalon in a dimension alien from our own, Fries was born with super-human strength and the gift of flight and from an early age has used both to make his world safer from criminals. When those criminals sought to invade Earth, Fries and his team followed with the same intention of keeping justice and safety. For their efforts, and their success, they were praised as heroes and welcomed to live among them.
Fries has taken on the identity of Ghest from his family's dearest friend Gus Tyrone, a man like a father to him. The Ghest suit allows him the use of even more special abilities, notably the use of heat lasers and blades spouting from it's wrists. However, a less common ability that Ghest has is the ability to travel to other dimensions, and that is one talent Fries would like to harness. Clothed in his sleek orange bodysuit with golden chestplate (letter G engraved in the center) and gloves, and his black helmet, Ghest is saying what he hopes are not final goodbyes to his girlfriend Laura Winston, a Morphozoid herself.
"Are you sure you want to try this now, Fries?" Laura asks her man. "Things are finally starting to get quiet after the last attack."
"I would love nothing more than to be with you during our downtime," Ghest begins to answer, "but since things are quiet I should take the time to practice these teleportation skills in case I need them for an emergency."
"I hope there never has to be an emergency that forces you to travel to another dimension, but I guess I can't fault you for wanting to better understand your powers. Your dedication is one of the things I love about you.
"I love you too, and no matter which dimension I go to, nothing will prevent me from finding my way back to you here."
Ghest tightens his fists and closes his eyes. Concentrating hard, he dematerializes from our dimension into another. He waits a moment to make sure his body is completely solid before opening his eyes, and shortly looks around at where he now is. He is outdoors, in front of a warehouse. The buildings he sees look like what he is used to back on Earth, but somehow things just look more worn out here than back home. It's as if battles take place here on a regular basis. He looks up and notices what looks like a generator station suspended in the air. "How could that be possible", he wonders. He considers his next move when a woman's voice calls out to him from behind.
"You there!" Tenaya 15 shouts.
Ghest turns around behind him to see a young woman leading an army of robot soldiers. She looks very much like she's part robot herself.
"An orange ranger now?" Tenaya asks. "Well, if you're here to stop my attack bot then you're a little early."
"Lady, I don't know what an attack bot is." Ghest informs her. "Or a ranger, for that matter."
" Enough. Grinders, attack!"
The soldiers start to attack, but Ghest is more than capable of fighting them off. He takes to the air, leaving the Grinders perplexed as they cannot fly themselves, but quickly returns to the ground to push down several of them on their level. As more surround him, he starts aiming his hands and blasting heatblasts at them. Tenaya herself joins the fray, firing off shots from her blaster at him. He reacts quickly, using his flight and speed to dodge them. She takes out a staff and charges to strike him with it. As she's about to make contact, Ghest raises his arms directly in front of his upper body and calls out the command his uncle Gus taught him.
"Spikes of Fury!"
Golden blades grow out of the wrists of his gloves and block the staff. The two of them go back and forth, each trying to strike and defend from each other.
Elsewhere, others who have been alerted to Ghest's presence are watching. Dr. K is watching the battle on the computer monitor in her lab, as Ziggy Grover looks on.
"Another new ranger?" Ziggy asks her. "Is this going to be a survivor type thing where a new guy arrives and we're forced to vote each other off to make room for him? Because I wouldn't really do well in the immunity challenges, like the one where you have to stand really still on a log while sharks swim around you. Not unless I had my morpher, because my suit makes me look kind of like a shark, so they wouldn't hurt me, but they might mistake me for one of them, which would be fine, except when my skin starts to wrinkle being in the water too long-
"Quiet, Ranger Series Green" Dr. K responds. "This person is not a ranger, as I created no such Series Orange technology. This stranger's identity doesn't match with anyone in the database of Corinth residents, or on Earth before the Venjix attack began. Gather the team, and be prepared to deal with this as a possible threat."
Back at the battle, Tenaya continues to aggressively try to jab Ghest with her staff, but he blocks every strike with his spikes. She tries a new tactic and fires her blaster at the ground beneath him with one hand, and then swings the staff at his stomach with the other. Ghest was caught off guard by this, but it did little to affect his stamina. He quickly lunges his right arm right in her face, thinking that she will instinctively raise the staff to block the blade. She does, and the staff gets sliced in two. He follows that up with a heatblast, but she dodges out of it's way. She fires off a blast from her blaster and Ghest does the same. The blasts connect with each other, sending a quick force wave of wind that knocks both several feet backwards. Neither is harmed.
"We will finish this, but another time" Tenaya says to him. "Venjix' plans must be carried out."
She turns and walks away. Ghest tries to follow, but more Grinders show up and block his path to her.
"More robots, eh?" Ghest exclaims, not thinking anything of using a Canadian expression. "Well, these guys aren't so tough. This shouldn't take me long."
Suddenly, a man wearing a full body green suit on the helmet teleports in right in front of Ghest.
"No, I'm sure it wouldn't," Ziggy tells him. "But fighting these guys is kind of "our thing", so just chill."
"'Our' thing?" questions Ghest.
"Yeah, me and them."
Ghest looks around at the grinders surrounding them as they seem to be flying backwards to the ground. Another man in a blue suit stands above them and joins Ghest and Ziggy.
"Wow. How did you do that?" Ghest asks.
"I froze time for a couple of wee seconds and took care of 'em for ye" Flynn answers.
More Grinders advance towards them.
"Here come more" says Ghest.
"Got it covered" Ziggy reminds him.
A man in a black suit and a girl in yellow leap from behind the rest to the front of the Grinder pack. They both pull out blaster weapons and aim them at their foes.
"Rocket Blaster!" Calls out Dillon.
"Zip charger!" Exclaims Summer.
Dillon's blasts them while Summer's shoots a small vehicle-like projectile at them. A man in red leaps above them carrying a weapon of his own.
"Street Saber!" Scott calls out, as he slashes several Grinders with his sword.
He turns to the rest of the team and asks a question.
"Have you seen Gem and Gemma? They asked us to save some for them, but they took off."
They hear the sound of very large propellers in the air. They look to the sky and two large flying vehicles become the main focus.
"This is totally gonna rock!" exclaims Gemma, from the cockpit of the Tiger Jet. "Ready Gem?"
"Ready Gemma!" He answers from inside the Falcon Copter.
"Brace yourselves, team! Scott warns the others on the ground.
The two aerial zords fire energy blasts at the Grinders below. They never stood a chance, and get caught in a major explosion.
"A little excessive, don't you think?" Ghest questions.
"They just like that sort of thing" Ziggy does his best to explain.
"Uh huh. I think we need to talk".
