A/N: This chapter is short, but it still should be entertaining.
The Power Rangers were all smiling evilly under their helmets as they watched the explosion caused by the power blaster attack. There was no way Ryan Steel could have survived. And with that they all turned to leave. Every one that is but Jason. "Wait," he ordered. The Rangers stopped and were shocked by what they saw. Coming out of the smoke and badly injured was Ryan. His helmet had been completely blown off. He was also missing chunks of his armor. Ryan also had his hand placed over the spot where the Rangers had shot him. Too weak from the power blaster attack Ryan fell on his back. Jason walked over to Ryan and slammed his foot down on Ryan to keep him down. He energized his sword and held it to Ryan's neck.
"Goodbye Ryan Steel," Jason said and then he lifted his sword into the air and swung down. Before his sword could connect something blasted it out of his hands. "What!?" Jason said surprised as he rubbed his wrist.
"We're here for you Ryan!" J.B. called as he and Kaitlin came running to there fallen friend. Raising both their guns they shot all the Rangers in the chest and ran to Ryan's side.
"Ryan hang on we're going to get you help," Kaitlin cried at the sight of the badly injured Ryan. However, before Kaitlin and J.B. could assist Ryan, Tommy came flying at them and took a swing at J.B.'s shoulder. Kimberly fired an arrow aimed for Kaitlin's face, she dodged. Kaitlin fired her blaster at Kimberly, but she dodged it allowing Trini to fire her blade blaster at Kaitlin. J.B. pulled out his own sword and attacked Tommy. He merely deflected all of J.B.'s attacks and cut him across the chest. Tommy then energized his sword and plunged it into the ground sending a wave of energy at J.B. and Kaitlin. As Kaitlin and J.B. fell Billy called out "skuggs" and four skuggs appeared to restrain the two.
"All right Rangers. BLADE BLASTERS! LET'S BRING'EM TOGETHER!" With Jason's command Kimberly and Trini jumped on his, Billy, and Zack's shoulder's and connected their blasters firing a single concentrated blast at Kaitlin. She was unable to break free from the skuggs and braced herself for the impact. There was an explosion, but Kaitlin didn't feel a thing. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see that Ryan had taken the blast. He turned his head towards Kaitlin and had a weak smile on his face before coughing up blood. Kaitlin elbowed the skuggs in the stomachs and slammed them together destroying them and gently laid Ryan down.
"Hold on Ryan do you hear me, hold on. I won't let you die."
"Aw isn't that sweet?" Zack mocked. "It makes me want to puke."
"Kaitlin," J.B. called rushing over to her. "Get Ryan out of here. I'll deal with these guys."
"Are you sure?" Kaitlin asked.
"Yes just go now."
"Ok J.B. VR CYCLE!" Kaitlin shouted. With her command a virtual reality motorcycle came speeding to the scene. As Kaitlin put Ryan on she told J.B. to be careful.
"I will. Now go!" And at that command Kaitlin sped off. "So now it's just me and Grimlord's cheerleaders."
"You're problems are only going to get bigger Trooper," Tommy threatened. "I'll sit this one out guys. You do your thing," Tommy said as he teleported away from the battle.
The Rangers raised their hands into the air and shouted "WE NEED DINOZORD POWER! NOW!"
J.B. felt the Earth shake under him. Whatever the Rangers had summoned it was huge. Then he saw them. Five massive looking "Zords" as they called them headed towards the battle. The Rangers all jumped into the air and landed into their respective Zord.
"Mastodon, ready to rock."
"Pterodactyl, ready for action."
"Triceratops, all systems go."
"Saber tooth Tiger, prepared for battle."
"Tyrannosaurus, online. Now let's get this guy! Rangers power up your crystals!"
"Two, one, power up!"
"Switching to MegaZord battle mode."
"MegaZord sequence has been initiated." The Zord began to rise on until it was standing and then the pterodactyl attached itself to the Zord's chest.
"MegaZord activated."
J.B. merely stood petrified at the awesome Zord that towered above him…that is till it tried to step on him. J.B. jumped out of the way just in time to avoid being crushed. It fired a blast of energy down at J.B. missing him narrowly. It tried again this time firing a continuous stream of energy. J.B. made a run for it, but the blast blew caused the ground to blow up from behind him. The MegaZord then turned to the mountain and smashed its fist into it causing the rocks to come falling down. J.B. got to his feet and dodged as many rocks as he could then jumped on top of the mountain. The MegaZord faced him and attacked the mountain again. J.B dodged and decided to make the fight more even.
"Professor, send the Sky Base over here."
"It's already at your position J.B."
"Thanks Professor Heart." After thanking the Professor J.B. jumped into the air and boarded the VR Troopers' massive air ship.
"POWER SWORD NOW!" Jason called out. A massive sword came falling from the sky and fell into the MegaZord's hand.
"Eat this!" J.B. shouted as he fired several missiles at the MegaZord. The MegaZord used the Power Sword to destroy all of them. J.B. switched tactics and attempted to ram the MegaZord. When the Sky Base was close enough he fired its lasers at the MegaZord, which was unable to dodge at that close a range. As the Sky Base flew passed the damaged Zord it swung its sword dealing damage to the cockpit of the Sky Base. J.B. was thrown around but regained his composure and fired another laser attack at the MegaZord. It was prepared this time however as it deployed a shield in the shape of a Mastodon's head. The attack was reflected back at the Sky Base badly damaging it. The MegaZord then went in for its finishing sword attack and struck the Sky Base with all its might.
The controls of the Sky Base all began too blow up throwing J.B. back. He attempted to get up, but the Sky Base was shaking too violently for him. He made his choice and abandoned ship. The Rangers all laughed evilly knowing they have J.B. right where they want him. They raised the power sword and plunged it into the Earth just narrowly missing him. As J.B. looked up at the damaged Sky Base he said to himself "I hope this works. Sky Base, activate techno-bazooka. VR TECHNO-BAZOOKA COMMAND NOW!" The Sky Base though damaged managed to carry out his command and delivered him the bazooka. J.B. fired immediately and hit the Zord before it had time to block the attack. The MegaZord took serious damage as the controls on the inside began to explode in the Ranger's faces. J.B. watched as the Rangers all fell out of their Zord and down to Earth. Wasting no time J.B. called his VR Cycle and sped away from the battle before they had a chance to recover.
The Lab
J.B. came running into the Lab to see Ryan lying down on the table still unconscious and being scanned by Professor Heart. "Guys I dealt with whoever those guys were, but they'll be back soon enough. Have you been able to help Ryan?"
"I am sorry J.B., but the damage to Ryan's armor is beyond repairable by me. Even worse the connection between Ryan's life force and powers has been damaged. In forty-five minutes his powers will be gone and so will he."
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: Sorry I couldn't resist the "to be continued". It just seemed like something that would happen in the show at this moment. Also for those of you wondering, Ryan survived the power blaster attack thanks to his armor though he is dying as a result. Also J.B.'s techno-bazooka can be seen in the VR Troopers season 1 episode "Oh Brother". Any comments on how to improve the way I write fight scenes will be greatly appreciated.
