POWER RANGERS: FLIGHT FORCE! Chapter 2, a power rangers fanfic

Last time on Flight Force: Five teens are recruited by the sorceress Dulcea to combat the vile villain Ivan Ooze. But will they accept the great power and responsibility they have been offered?

Chapter 2: Prepare for Takeoff, Part 2

"I say we just leave," Ava answered. After being transported to this strange place and being offered superpowers by some insane woman, Ava was ready to go home and forget all this ever happened.

"For once, I agree with Ava. Let's get of here! Our parents are probably worried sick by now," spoke Parry. Although never one to run away from something, Parry had enough excitement for one day. 'Besides, if this chick really is magic, why doesn't she fight herself?' thought Parry.

"Please, I beseech you five," pleaded Dulcea, "Ivan Ooze needs to be stopped and I am not up for the task. You need take the Birdonizers and fight this menace. Don't you care about the way Ooze is attacking your city?"

That caught the group's attention. Sadie asked, "What about our city?" "Yeah, what's Ooze doing?" pondered Baron. Dulcea motioned them towards a crystal ball, waved her hands over it, and an image appeared:

Raven-like monsters were trashing the city! They flipped over cars. They chased pedestrians. They were trying to smash into the Flamingo Alley! And amongst them was a purple colored man with face protrusions and flowing violet robe. "This city will be the first in my conquest of Earth! They can send their army, they can send their Navy, they can send their Air Force! But NOTHING will stop IVAN OOZE!" Ivan cackled as the mayhem around continued….

"Oh man," murmured Reese. "Now you understand what Ooze is truly capable of. If he is left unchecked, he will very easily enslave your world. I ask you one more time; will you take the power?" Dulcea looked at the teens pleadingly. There was silence amongst them.

Then, Reese spoke up, "Come on guys, the city needs our help! We just can't turn our backs on the whole town and say 'No skin off my back!' We need to take a stand against this slimy creep, win or lose." "But Reese…"piped up Baron. "No 'buts' Baron, it's either yes or no. Now who's with me?" Reese stuck his hand out, looking seriously at his friends.

The group was impressed and little surprised by Reese's leadership. 'I've never seen Reese so determined,' thought Sadie. "This whole Ivan Ooze deal has really gotten to him.' The teens were indecisive about their choice until Parry placed his hand atop of Reese's.

"You can count me in! This Ooze chump needs a good butt-kicking and I'm the man to give it to him!" Parry exclaimed. Baron joined in as well. "Ditto for me! Ooze needs to be taken down a notch or two!" Baron stated. Sadie placed her hand amongst the others. "I'm in. I can't stand watching those monsters wreck the city!" said Sadie. They then turned their attention towards Ava. "Come on Red," Parry said, "you know we can't go without you!" Ava thought it over for and placed her hand with her friends'. "Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." She said simply.

Dulcea smiled. "Thank you all. This is the best answer you have given to me. Please, step forward and receive your Birdonizer." The group did as they were told and obtained their Morphers. Reese had the red one, Ava got the blue one, Baron had the yellow one, Sadie got the white one, and Parry had the black one.

"To activate your powers," instructed Dulcea, "call out the spirit of your guardian birds." "Guardian birds?" someone inquired, possibly Baron. "Yes, the guardian birds: red hawk, yellow owl, white swan, black vulture, and blue swallow," answered the sorcerous. "Now Power Rangers, take flight!" The Rangers called out their respective guardian birds:

"HAWK POWER!"

"VULTURE POWER!"

"SWALLOW POWER!"

"OWL POWER!"

"SWAN POWER!"

After the morphing process was complete, the teens looked at themselves in amazement. "Wow! Look at these cool costumes!" exclaimed Reese. "I've always thought I looked good in blue," Ava said admiringly. "And this energy!" Parry announced ecstatically, "I feel like I could lift a bus!" As the Rangers buzzed excitedly, Dulcea interrupted, "Rangers, if you please, there's work to be done."

"Right," Reese said, "time to get serious!" "But how will get to the city?" asked Sadie, "We must hundreds of miles away from those monsters!" "Simple, I'll just beam you right to town with my scepter,"Dulcea answered, holding her mystic staff. "Well what are we waiting for, an invitation?" Parry hollered, "Let's kick some evil butt!" "Before I teleport you all to battle," the sorcerous said, "there's one more important thing I must tell you. If the situation gets critical, use the call 'We need Jetzords' to summon your colossal assault vehicles or Zords for short. The Zords can even combine together to form the Megazord. It will abet you greatly in your struggle against Ooze."

And with that, Dulcea waved her scepter and teleported the Power Rangers to do battle with likes of Ivan Ooze. "Good luck young warriors," said Dulcea, "and Godspeed…."

Meanwhile, back at the city, Ivan Ooze was indulging in all the anarchy around him. "Ah, it's such a beautiful day to be alive," Ooze stated contently. "Especially if you're going to conquer an entire planet and enslave its inhabitants!" His right hand man, Mordant agreed, "And the best part is, there's not a single thing anyone can do about it!" Just then Ooze sensed something in the air. "What is that odious stench?" pondered the wizard. "Sorry, I had a nineteen layered burrito for lunch," Mordant said. "No, not that!" Ivan said. "It smells like…..teenagers!"

When the Rangers finally arrived, they found themselves face to face with Ooze and his monsters. "Ugh, this dude is way uglier in person!" the Black Ranger said. "And I can't say that his army looks any better," quipped the Blue Ranger. "What in the galaxy is this?" Ivan goggled. "A group of snot nosed kids in colorful spandex! Wait, is there a chance that a broad named Dulcea put you up to this?" The Red Ranger stepped forward confidently and spoke "That's right Ivan Ooze! We came here to stop your plans and take you down! We are the Power Rangers!"

"Power Rangers, huh?" the wizard cackled at the young heroes. "I see Dulcea is still too much of a coward to face me alone. Very well then, if you five insist on playing superhero, then allow me to present you you're first task." Ivan Ooze waved his arms and expelled a wave of energies to his Tenga Warriors. The monsters began fusing and shifting into a formless blob. The blob then grew and took the form of a giant Tenga. "Good luck and good riddance to all five of you!" guffawed the sorcerer as he opened a portal to exit the scene. "Later Power Losers!" mocked Mordant, right behind Ooze.

The Rangers then looked at the tremendous monstrosity before them. "Uh-oh, we do we do now?" asked the White Ranger. Suddenly, the Yellow Ranger remembered what Dulcea said. "Reese, we need to call up our Zords for this!" said Baron. "You're right Baron!" their leader exclaimed. The heroes then let out the call:

"WE NEED JETZORDS!"

No sooner having said that, machines that resembled fighter planes with avian features flew towards them. "Success!" cheered Baron. The Rangers were beamed safely into their respective Zords. "All right! Vulturezord locked and loaded!" "Hawkzord, ready for battle!""Swanzord, flying high and ready to go!" "This Swallowzord speaking, prepare for butt whooping!" "Owlzord, fully operational!"

The Rangers flew their Zords with ease and grace, yet the towering Tenga proved to be a worthy match. Every time the Rangers shot their lasers, the monster shrugged it off. And each time they clipped the creature with the Zords' "beaks", the Tengu swatted them away like flies. This went on for quite some time, until the Power Rangers grew frustrated. "This is getting us nowhere!" cried Parry. Sadie asked, "Reese, what do we do?" Reese mentally planned out their next course and decided to take drastic measure. "Guys, we have to combine the Zords, just like Dulcea said." "Do you think it'll work?" Ava questioned. "It has to."

The Zords regrouped and began the combining formation. The Hawkzord transformed into a chest cavity for the Megazord. The Vulturezord and Swanzord formed the legs of the robot, while the Owlzord and Swallowzord became the arms. These mechanical limbs attached themselves to the torso as a metallic face emerged from the magnificent automaton, thus completing the Mega Jetzord.

The Tenga was caught off guard by the sudden emergence of the Mega Jetzord, yet the beast was intent on finishing its dastardly deed. The monster leaped at the Megazord, clawing and pecking, attempting to crush it, yet the Rangers simply used the Megazord's cybernetic strength to pry the Tenga off. The Rangers then used the Mega Jetzord to throw a seriesof mechanical blows at the monster. The Tenga Warrior tried to defend itself, but did not see the incoming kick, which connected right into the monster's belly. The monstrosity continued to withstand the furious punches and kicks, one after the other. Exhausted and humiliated, the Tenga Warrior screeched incoherently and, in one last desperate attempt, pounced on the Megazord. The Power Rangers saw the attack from a mile away and planted a robotic knee into the creature's chest, knocking the wind out of it.

Analyzing the creature's weakened state, the Rangers decided to launch the final blow. "All right guys, time to finish this guy off!" The Rangers commandeered the Mega Jetzord to pull out a golden sword. The Megazord lifted the blade in a warrior stance as the heroes shouted, "SWORD…OF…ICARUS!" The Megazord swung the blade at the vicious Tenga Warrior, causing it explode in a glorious burst of energy. The monster was defeated and the Power Rangers were victorious! "We did it!" cried the heroes from inside the Megazord. Their first mission was a success, although not everyone celebrating….

"CURSES!" growled Ivan Ooze. The wizard had seen the entire skirmish from the safety of his palace, a decrepit brain-like castle of sorts. "Those snot-nosed brats managed to take down my creation!" In all of his years of sorcery Ooze had never seen something this impossible. "Oh if Dulcea and her cronies want to fight, I'll give them a war! I'll use my dark magic even more powerful monsters! And once they're defeated, my conquest of this world will IMMENANT! Those Powder-puff Rangers don't know who their messing with." Mordant simply looked at his master and sighed, "Oh boy."

Back at Dulcea's Temple, the young Rangers gathered together, cheering and hugging, glad that they were able to hold their own against Ooze's forces. Dulcea came forward and spoke, "Calm down, young warriors. We may have been won the battle, the war has just begun. I'm sure Ivan is plotting something diabolical as we speak." Reese then said, "Yeah, but when he does come back, we'll be ready!" Dulcea smiled and joined the Rangers in celebration. Nothing will ever be the same again….and for once, it's for the better!
