Harry Potter and the Jungle Fury
Chapter three: First time morphs and RJ learns
Harry woke up at four in the morning, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he got out of his hammock picking up his training gear he swiftly dressed and padded out into the dojo/living/dining area and pulled out the punch bag and after taping up his hands, feet, elbows and knees he began bouncing on the balls of his feet, he darted into the punch bag and delivered a swift warm up one-two punch combo and darted away again graceful as a deer. Harry swivelled to the left and let fly with snap-kick into a thrust kick and finished with a propeller kick jab to what should be the face of a Tyrannodrone.
Oh how he remembered those lumps of flesh and robotics and how he wished he still had his spinal growth and battle precognition but now as the survivor of the Hayabusa/Dragon line he had developed much better gifts such as a further increase of speed, strength, durability, endurance and stamina. He was pretty sure he could go toe-to-toe with this new villains monsters and confidently win.
He felt someone come up behind him, with ranger reflexes kicking in he jumped thrusting his foot out behind him in backwards heel thrust kick only to find it connecting with thin air, locking onto his target he altered his body weight to land a strong knee strike to the back flattening the Wolf Master. Harry quickly bounced off the Wolf Master and landed in his Dragon stance. "You're good Harry. Very good, don't expect to do that to me again. I need to have a word with you anyway...You're not in trouble, I'm just curious about something I heard last night." Harry relaxed and flopped on to a chair as RJ sat in his chair. "What do you mean by now I've seen everything and stuff about basements, pizza shops? What is Dino Thunder? Who is Kira? Why does she need to know about the situation?"
Harry groaned "First of all. I was a power ranger. My team was Dino Thunder. My command centre was in a basement..." With that statement RJ had to cough violently to stop himself from laughing aloud, this caused Harry to grin slightly "Kira is my girlfriend and she needs to know because in my last showdown I had to fight our main nemesis and my parents murderer that's a story for another time. Long story short he tried to kill me after I sacrificed my powers to destroy the nemesis who was a Dino-human called Mesagog, the result was a portal opened sucking myself and the murderer through and cutting him in half and me at Pai Zhua academy where I learnt I was the last of the Hayabusa/Dragon line. She's worried about me. Plus she'll want to come and meet us at some point and probably drag my old teammates along as well."
RJ nodded and stood up pulling Harry with him and took him to the training mats "Let's have a spar. First to three and first contact ends the bout." Harry nodded, and assumed his stance. RJ attacked first with a triple kick attack to the head as feint and a double punch intending to take the first point early. However Harry had anticipated this as RJ's Muay Thai was similar to his cousin Tommy's thus cart wheeled to the left into a falling handspring into the centre of the training mats and finished with a hurricane mid-section kick flurry. (Imagine propeller kick but faster) Harry took the first two points in a similar manner, however RJ made an astonishing come back by launching a flurry of blows and feints the ranged from precision pressure points to outward straight breaking bones.
In the end Harry lost after RJ brush n leg swept Harry's left leg out from under him and slammed an elbow into his stomach. This resulted in a bang which woke both Lily and Casey who came tearing out of their rooms only to find RJ and Harry laughing and sparring. RJ noticed the two apprentices and beckoned them forward. "Later today I have some things for you and you're going to have a spar with Harry so I can evaluate your skills.
Casey and went first, but it was over within three minutes in which Casey displayed all the techniques he used before Harry temple kicked him. "You're good...for a cub. But you need drastic improvement if you're intended to pull your weight on the team." Casey nodded and Lily stepped up. It was the same routine and same finish except Lily landed five strong hits that should have paralysed a man if Harry hadn't known what she was doing. By now it was close to six in the morning and Theo had joined them and been tested, Harry bulldozed him into the ground and RJ shook his head.
After everyone had a quick shower RJ, Casey and Harry went down stairs to start preparing for the Lunch, After-school and dinner rushes. Lily stared after Harry and wondered if he was single, then she recalled what she heard last night. 'Kira could be his sister. I'll have to ask him out one day.' She thought determinately. "Lily help in the backroom with Harry, Casey you make the pizza bases and send them to Harry and Theo help Harry prepare the toppings." Ordered RJ. Soon, after the preparation only Harry remained with Fran to maintain the running of the shop as RJ handed the Pai Zhua students the Solar Morphers to enable them to become the Power Rangers Jungle Fury.
Meanwhile, Harry got his hands on a phone and left a message on Kira's and Tommy's answer machines that he was alive and in Ocean Bluff and was going to be there for an unknown amount of time. As the day went on, the newly made Jungle Fury team nipped out to destroy a threat of Rinshi.
"JUNGLE BEAST! SPIRT UNLEASHED!" Shouted Lily and Theo who morphed and rushed to engage the enemy, leaving Casey behind, "With the speed of a Cheetah, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!" Shouted Lily as she unsheathed her jungle bo and started taking out the Rinshi even quicker than normal. Theo pulled out his jungle tonfa and participated in 'Kiss the tonfa' by now Casey had managed to morph and helped destroy the new Rinshi monster and Rinshi.
When they returned it was nearing the after-school rush, they got prepared just as the rush started. Soon enough it was time to close up. Harry rolled his eyes as he somehow managed to get cleaning table duty again. After that everyone headed upstairs aside from Fran to rest, especially Harry as he was promised to work the late shift.
