Power Rangers Pirate Guardians
Green with Envy
After their first battle, nothing could seperate the team. They did, and went everywhere with each other (other than go to the bathroom or go to sleep). However, when they weren't together; Seth was trying to become a better leader, James trying to become a better Ranger, Megan trying to become a better fighter, Heather trying to be a fighter, and Travis was trying to be as good as the rest of them.
"What good am I to them if all I can do is fire a blaster?" Travis asked himself after he tried pulling a manuver he had seen James use during their first battle. No one else on the team knew how he felt. If they did, they would probably laugh, except Heather, who would admit that he was a better fighter than her.
A new week had begun at Stone Canyon High was the Rangers sat down and their favorite table, and had begun eating their lunches, when Jeff, and his crew showed up.
"Well, well. Look who showed up to school." Megan muttered as the five bullies approached their table.
"Did we ask for you mouth bitch?" Bridget asked Megan, glaring at her.
"No but you got it anyways. So where have you five been? Too scared to come back to school after a minor alien invasion?" James asked them sarcastically.
"Listen you stupid shit. Don't start something you can't finish." Trevor told James. James got out of his chair, and stood nose to nose with Trevor.
"Then let's finish it." James said to Trevor in a soft, yet hard tone. Seth got up and grabbed James.
"Easy Jim. Look Jeff, obviously you need to learn how to control your lackies. Do us a favor, and leave us alone, and go find someone else to bother." Seth told the groups leader.
"Fine. But there will be reprocutions for this." Jeff said. He and his crew then walked away. Heather and Travis just looked down at their food.
"Yet again, the brawn of the team got to do the hard work while we sat here and did nothing." Travis muttered to Heather. Heather nodded.
"What do you mean the team's brawn did the hard work? We are a TEAM. We all have an equal share in this." Seth told Travis
"Simple, last battle, all Heather and I did was blast at Zan-bots. Well, I blasted, she turned into a Pink tornado and destroyed a few groups." Travis replied.
"You're more than welcome to use your Pirate Sword and knock a few heads down if you want." said Megan.
"It's not that simple! I'm not as strong as the four of you!" Travis snapped. He got up, dumped his lunch, and left.
On the ship, Luxator watched as the scene unfolded. 'Ah, poor Green Ranger. Not thinking he is strong enough to fight. I have a plan. Buflant!" he shouted. A large part buffalo, and part robot appeared infront of Luxator.
"Yes sir?" Buflant asked Luxator.
"Go down and destroy the Green Ranger, and then the rest of the Pirate Guardian Power Rangers." Luxator told his monster.
"Yes sir." Buflant said. he turned, and left the bridge of thre ship, and teleported to Earth.
Travis walked home from school, still fuming, and wishing he was as good as the others. "One day, I will be as strong as them." he said to himself. He then heard an explosion, and saw a monster attacking some citizens. He hid his bag, and pulled out his Guardian Morpher. "Guardian Transform!" he cried, turning into the Green Pirate Guardian Ranger. he then ran towards the monster. "Hey ugly!" he called.
The monster turned around. "Are you talking to me Green boy?" the monster asked.
"Yeah I am." Travis shouted back.
"Good, I have orders to destroy you." Buflant said, running towards Travis. Buflant slammed his head into Travis's chest, and sent him flying into a light post. Travis goraned in pain, and clicked his belt, the Green Turbo Ranger key appearing.
"Guardian Transform, Shift into Turbo!" Travis called, turning into the Green Turbo Ranger. Buflant tried charging again, but Travis managed to use his Turbo speed, and outrun him, and dodge his attacks.
"You can't run from me forever Green ranger." Buflant said.
"You're right." Travis replied. He clicked his belt, revealing the Green RPM key. "Guardian Transform, RPM Get in Gear!" he called, becoming the Green RPM Ranger Operator. "Turbo Axe." Travis pulled out his massive ax, and when Buflant tried attacking again, Travis blocked his attack. Buflant rammed his head into the ax, and fell over in pain.
"Curse you!" Buflant cried. Travis clicked his belt for a third time, revealing the Green SPD Ranger key. "Guardian Transform, SPD Emergency!" he called, morphing into the Green SPD Ranger. "DeltaMax Striker!" Travis called, forming the blaster. He then fired at Buflant. Buflant got up.
"I will destroy you Green Ranger!" he called. He then fully charged Travis, slamming his head into Travis's chest, sending Travis into a side of a building. Travis hit the ground hard, and was knocked unconcious.
Zordon sensed this attack, and immediately used his mind to contact the others. "Rangers, Travis has been knocked unconsious by a new monster! You must protect the city at once." Zordon told them.
"Got it Zordon!" Seth replied, walking home from school with James. He looked at his friend, and they both morphed.
"Roger that." Megan said, looking at Heather, who looked pale. None the less, the two morphed, and ran towards the city.
Travis began having a weird dream. He was in a forest, and everything was Green. He looked around, confused. "Where am I?" he asked himself.
"Currently, your unconscious, but you are technically with us." a voice said behind him. Travis turned around to see three people walking towards him. A Latino male, and African American male, and a Caucasian male.
"Who are you three?" Travis asked.
The Latino male extended his hand. "Carlos Vallerte. Second Green Turbo Ranger, and the Black Space Ranger."
The African American male also extended his hand. "Jack Landors, former Red SPD Ranger, and Green SPD Ranger."
The Caucasian finally extended his hand. "Ziggy Grover. Green RPM Ranger Operator."
Travis shook all three former Rangers hands. "I just used your powers today!" he exclaimed.
Carlos smiled. "We know. We're dead you see. We died in a massive War that had all the Power Rangers fighting revived villains. We saw your struggle in wanting to be as strong as the other Pirate Guardian Rangers. Truth is, you don't have to be strong to be a Power Ranger. What you did today showed you can use great strategies to fight your opponents. You can be a great Ranger if you stop trying to hard to be strong."
"I was never the strongest Ranger starting out. In fact, pretty much our Mentor, and 3 of the Rangers found it horrible I had become a Ranger. I soon proved I could be useful to the team." Ziggy put in.
"What we are trying to tell you is that you are completely useful to your team. Each one of your members will go through a time where they question their place on the team. Your friend Heather is doing the same thing right now." Jack told Travis.
Carlos then looked around, and then back at Travis. 'It is time for you to get back to your team. Take this." he told Travis, handing him something. "And remember, you are a great Ranger. Just believe in yourself, use your strategies, and stop trying to be as strong as the others." he said.
"Good luck!" Ziggy said.
"Take care man. We'll be watching." Jack said, waving to Travis.
Travis then woke up, and looked around. He was still in the building where he had landed after taking that brutal hit from Buflant. "Oh man, was that real?" he asked himself. He then looked in his hand, and saw that it had been real. In his hand was a small key. "I've got to go help the others." Travis got up and ran off to the nearest place he had seen an explosion.
Seth had gotten slammed by Buflant, and flew into James. They were using the Wild Force ranger keys, but to no avail.
"Seth, I thought you said Wild Force would do wonders on this guy." Megan called after being tossed by Buflant.
"I said I thought it would work!" Seth called back, picking up his Red Lion Fang. "Lion Blaster!" he called, switching it from a Fang to a blaster, and fired it at Buflant, would decided to fight Heather.
"Back off Buflant!" a voice rang out. Travis had shown up to the battle. He was looking directly at Buflant.
"Back again Green Ranger?" Buflant cackled.
"Yeah, to destroy you." Travis said boldly. Buflant stopped his advance on Heather, and started charging towards Travis.
"Guardian Transform, Shift into Turbo!" Travis called, clicking his belt, and using the Green Turbo Ranger key, becoming the Green Turbo Ranger. He used his Turbo speed to race around Buflant. Buflant was confused until Travis kicked him in the head using a round house kick. "Turbo Thunder Cannon!" The large cannon appeared in Travis's hands, and he fired it Buflant, knocking him down.
"This again Green?" Buflant groaned.
'Guardian Transform, RPM, Get in Gear!" Travis yelled, becoming the Green RPM Ranger Operator. "Turbo Axe!" he called as the axe appeared in his hands. Buflant got up and again charged at Travis, his blocked the attack again with the Turbo Axe. Once again, Buflant stumbled backwards in pain. Travis then sent a few slashes from the Turbo Axe at Buflant, striking him. The Monster rolled on the ground, in agony.
"That the best you have?" asked Buflant weakly.
"Guardian Transform, SPD Emergency!" Travis roared, becoming the Green SPD Ranger. "DeltaMax Striker, full power!" he called, firing his blaster at Buflant. The power of the attack was too much for Buflant, and he fell to the ground in an explosion.
"Good job Travis!" Heather exclaimed, giving Travis a hug. James clapped him on the back, as did Megan. Seth walked up, and crossed his arms.
"Still think you aren't as strong as us?" he asked Travis.
Travis shook his head. "No. I am just as good as you all, in my own way. I can make good strategies. They could help us in upcoming battles." Travis replied. Seth put his hand on Travis's shoulder.
"That's what I want to hear." Seth said.
Luxator slammed his hand on the control panel. "Damn those Power Rangers!" Make my monster grow!" he roared. A Zan-bot nodded, and typed a combination on the control panel.
The Rangers were still celebrating, until Buflant grew to a giant. "What the hell is that thing?" Megan screeched.\
"A giant monster." James said simply. Megan glared at him through her helmet.
"No shit Sherlock." she grumbled.
"Let's not worry about what it is. Let's worry about how we are going to beat it." Heather said innocently, and sweetly.
"Rangers, the time has come for you to use the Pirate Zords, and form the Pirate Megazord." Zordon said telepathically.
"Right Zordon." Seth said. Suddenly, out of no where, a large Pirate Ship, a jet, a tractor trailer, a race car, and a submarine came out of nowhere. The Rangers jumped into their zords; Seth into the Pirate Ship, James into the Jet, Megan into the Tractor-Trailer, Travis into the Race car, and Heather into the submarine.
"Pirate Galleon, ready." Seth said.
"Pirate Jet, ready!" James yelled.
"Pirate Tractor, ready!" Megan called.
"Pirate Racer, ready!" Travis said.
"Pirate Sub, ready!" Heather called.
"Pirate Megazord formation." Seth commanded. The five Zords then became the Pirate Megazord.
'Pirate Megazord, Assembly complete!" the five yelled, as they entered their cockpit. They began their battle with Buflant, who seemed to have the upper hand. He kept ramming his head into the Megazord, knocking the Rangers around.
"This guy is tough!" James called out. It was then Travis had an idea. He pulled out the key Carlos had given him.
"Guys, when I fought Buflant, he knocked me unconscious. I met three former Ranger sin a dream like state, and one of them, the second Green Turbo Ranger gave me this." Travis told them, holding up the key, the Rescue Megazord Key.
" Let's use it." Seth said. Travis inserted the key into his control wheel. "Megazord Transform, Rescue Megazord!" he yelled. The Pirate Megazord then became the Rescue Megazord.
"Rescue lasers!" Travis called. The lasers mounted on the top part of the Megazord, fired at Buflant. They struck him well enough to where he fell in an explosion.
"Great win guys." Travis said, looking at the others. He was happy, he had finally found his place on the team.
"So we can turn into past Rangers, and our Megazord can turn into past Megazords?" Heather asked Zordon as they met up in the woods. Alpha flew up to them.
"That is correct Heather. That will give you the upper hand in any battle." he told her.
"Travis, you said you met Carlos, Jack, and Ziggy in a dream like state?" Zordon asked Travis.
"Yes sir. Carlos gave me the Rescue Megazord key." Travis told his Mentor. Zordon thought for a moment, and then turned to face the others.
"It seems that the Past Rangers have taken an interest in you five. Odds are you will meet more of them. Listen to what they tell you, and take their words to heart. They will help you." he told them. The five nodded, and left to head for home. Travis looked at Heather, remembering what Jack had said about her questioning her own place on the team.
He wondered what she would have to face to learn her place.
That was one of my longer chapters. So Travis learned you don't have to be strong in order to be a Power Ranger, and got a new Megazord key, and met three past Rangers. There will be more in upcoming chapters.
Next Time- Heather has been afraid of violence since her abusive childhood. Luxator plays on this and sends down Memor, amonster who can make those relieve past memories, to make Heather weaker. Will she become weaker, or will a past Pink help her through it, along with her best friend Megan? Find out next time on Power Rangers: Pirate Guardians.
NOTE: I am against all forms of abuse. The next chapter will be used only for character development. I will try and make the scenes as limited as I can.
