Power Rangers Megaforce: REMIX
A/N: Hey guys I am back for another chapter in the new Megaforce REMIX series but I have something quick to speak of. My laptop has finally been repaired which means I will be able to make quicker updates to the story so you guys won't have to be waiting hopefully for too long. But be aware that I still have classes going on so that will be my top priority as of right now. Anyways on to the fourth chapter.
Chapter 4: Stranger Ranger
Troy walked into Ernie's after classes were finished. He was thinking of a way for his team to continue improving. He realized that this group is the most determined team and can't deny that strength is an advantage compared to his old team. If there was something lacking it would be their speed and instincts. He doesn't blame them for this considering their age and youth and that some of them never really fought like this before. He doesn't expect them to increase their speed in such a fast time which isn't normal if they did, but he does want them to be able to predict fast movements. He continues to walk in the yogurt place.
"Hey Troy" Troy looks up in surprise to see Emma right next to him holding a can full of recyclables.
"Oh, hey Emma" he then notices that she was picking up some garbage.
"What's with the recyclables."
"Oh, I'm just helping out Ernie here"
"Ah, that's really nice of you" Troy says.
"Thanks, and the others are going to be here soon"
"I see" Troy says. They then hear a guy announcing stuff. There was also a decent crowd gathered around him.
"So, I gave that monster this swift kick right to the gut. Then I used my lasers and just blasted them away." The people seemed amazed at the things that the dude was talking about. Troy and Emma was just confused.
"What's up with that" Then Ernie explains to Troy.
"That guy claims to be the Red Power Ranger" Emma and Troy smirk after hearing that.
"Interesting" Troy tells Emma. They both continue to listen to what the guy was saying.
"Wow, can you believe this faker" Emma said.
"It seems I have a fan" Troy says when Emma giggles.
"You going to do something about it" Troy continues to listen to what the guy says.
"Yeah, I'm not feeling it so here I'll do the recyclables." Troy gets the recyclables from Emma's and walks away to gather more.
"Wait Troy, the others" But by the time Emma can finish, Troy had already gone off.
"Oh, it's whatever" Emma then went over to save a table for the others alas hearing the guy keep pretending to be Troy.
"He's not even as good looking as Troy" Emma thought which was immediately blushing after saying that.
"Oh my god what did I just think" She continued in her thoughts while covering her blush a little bit.
Troy went into the big trash cans where the other bags of recyclables. They were labeled for today.
"Wow, lots of bags" Suddenly a bottle fell out of the trash can which Troy instinctively reacted and grabbed it before it fell.
"Hehe, not fast enough for" Troy stopped when he realized that this could be a new training method. He then called Kimberly as soon as he could.
"Hello"
"Kimberly, it's Troy"
"Yeah what's up"
"I was wondering if you could help me set up this training exercise I have in mind"
"Yeah, what's it about"
"To help attack and defend against high speed opponents."
"Something about fighting without sight"
"Yeah exactly"
"Alright, where should we set it up"
"In the woods, just bring string because I already got the other props."
"And these props are"
"Plastic Recyclables and a blindfold." Kimberly smirked having an idea with this exercise.
"Hm, you're pretty smart to have come up with this"
"It just popped in my mind"
"Alright, I'll see you at the forest not too far from the base."
"Cool" Troy hangs up and heads out for the woods.
Troy gets to the woods to see that Kimberly is already there.
"So, what do you got planned." Troy then got the rope and started setting it on trees. He then wrapped the plastic bottles with the rope.
"I see the obstacles and props and all but is there like a catch" Troy then asks Kimberly for the blindfold. She gives it to him and now realizes what to do as Troy puts on the blindfold.
"Ok I get the idea." Troy then pulled the lever that he placed which made the bottles start moving around. Kimberly was impressed with this idea. She watches Troy start knocking bottles back without being able to see and liked his reflexes and instincts. Troy then finishes a set. He then takes off the blindfold.
"So, what do you think"
"I like it, it'd be good for the others as well"
"I would agree"
"Yup, so let's run this back one more time" Troy then puts the blindfold back on and then did the workout again.
The others arrived at the frozen yogurt to see Emma sitting down waiting for them. She seemed focused on what the guy is saying.
"Hey Emma" Gia says. Emma waves and then brings her focus back to the dude.
"Uh what's he doing" Jake asks about the guy.
"He claims to be the Red Ranger" Emma responds.
"Wait what" Noah said confused. The guy has apparently been talking about how he takes down the monsters basically by himself. He then starts talking about how he doesn't need the others which almost made Jake get up and punch him.
"Wow, what a douche. Did Troy do anything about it." Jake asks.
"Nothing really"
"Ignore him, it's a guy that just wants attention" Gia then adds. Suddenly, their morphers ringed but the people didn't notice because they were paying attention to the fake Ranger. Gia gets the location from the message that Gosei sent.
"Monster attack, let's go" Gia says. They get up and then before they hit the exit, a guy runs up to the dude.
"There's a monster attack outside" They all look at the guy who seemed a little shocked.
"Uh yeah, you bet" He was hesitant and stuttered, but he went on to walk outside to find the monster. The others couldn't believe what just happened.
"Are you fucking kidding me" Jake just said.
"He actually went" Noah followed.
"C'mon let's go before the guy gets killed" Gia says as they all run off and morph as they head for the location.
Troy finished the third session when the morpher went off. Kimberly gave the location as he took off the blindfold and tried to keep up as he was a bit behind in the alert.
The monster was in the middle of a plaza as he was wreaking havoc. The kid then showed up trying to not show any sign of fear.
"Hey, stop" the guy said. He regretted it and freaked when the monster turned to him.
"A puny human, what can you do" The monster starts walking towards him looking ready to strike any moment now. Gia and the others minus Troy then show up to then protect the kid.
"Are you ok" Emma asks. The guy nodded but seemed at a loss of words. The four then looked around but then randomly got hit by the monster who seemed to have appeared again.
"Did it disappear" Jake wonders.
"It just came out of nowhere" Noah then adds.
"We have to be careful." Gia then says.
"Hey guys" The others turn to see Troy morphed already heading towards them.
"Troy, be careful he seems to be a high-speed monster.
"what" He then stops to get in stance. Now was the time to use what he just learned. He kept his eyes and somehow predicted them monster attacking. He parries the hit and the monster was in shock.
"How did you read that Red Ranger"
"Eh, I just predicted" Troy responds.
"No way that your reflexes can be that fast"
"Takes a fast guy to know one" Troy then went in attack mode and used his speed to give the creature a little taste of his own medicine.
"Ah, you damn Red Ranger"
"Just doing my job"
"Ugh, I'll get you all next time." The monster then speeds off.
"Damn it" Jake says after the monster gets away. He then turns to the guy that was standing there.
"Dude, what were you trying to do" The guy didn't really know what to do so he confessed. After a small explanation.
"Ok, so you told all of your classmates that you were me" Troy said in his ranger suit.
"Yeah pretty much"
"Alright, so what's your name"
"Jordan"
"I see, so why did you do it Jordan"
"I just wanted the attention that I was doing something cool for them. It's hard to be a loser sometimes"
"I don't think it's cool to pretend you know" Jake then adds. Troy stuck his hand out signaling Jake to let him handle it.
"Look Jordan, being a Ranger isn't for the attention. It's for the commitment and dedication to know that the whole world is in your hands. It's not for fame, and plus we've been chosen for this" Troy then told others to go unaware that Jordan was thinking of following them.
In the forest, Kimberly has them all gathered.
"So, why the blindfolds" Jake asked. Kimberly then started to explain.
"Cause, the one thing that speedy fighters want you to do is use the eyes to stop them rather than your other senses. Troy used the sounds that the creature made in motion to predict his movement. This drill is made to force you in not using your eyes. Troy may have the speed for himself, but you four aren't the fastest ones and that's ok because your Red Ranger doesn't seem normal in his movements" Troy rolled his eye.
"Continue please" Troy then said which got a few laughs from the four.
"Anyway, so since your movements aren't the fastest, your best bet is to react and predict movements because the monster is fast but isn't exactly the high in changing gears."
"What" Jake asks confused.
"Change of direction Jake" Noah tells him.
"Oh, got it"
"My goodness" Gia says. Troy laughs a little bit.
"Alright start" Troy states and they all began their drill.
Jordan was still figuring out where they all went. After 20 minutes of looking, he then figured it out and think he got it.
Troy was busy examining the results when he felt that someone was coming. He also had a feeling that it was Jordan. The others stopped having the same feeling. Kimberly felt the kid coming so she teleported back to base while the others morphed so he won't see them without the suits. Jordan arrives to see all the bottles hanging on the trees. This is when Troy and the others walk out.
"Why did you follow us" Jordan was surprised to see him there as if he knew he was coming.
"How did you know I was almost here"
"I heard your movements on the way, need to be sneakier than that. Now answer my question"
"I just wanted to see how you guys train. Plus, maybe I can show what I can do" The others seemed confused but Troy had an idea.
"Alright, let's see you do this then" Troy signaled Jake to do the warmup routine they usually do before the hard training. Unfortunately, Jordan couldn't do the second part of the routine. Jordan keeps trying but he couldn't pull it off. Jordan now realizes that he should leave it to the actual Rangers.
"I'm sorry, I know now that lying about myself isn't the right thing and that it's disrespectful to you guys as well."
"It's alright, what matters is that you know" Troy's morpher than gets a message from Gosei about the returning monster. Jordan then went back while the Rangers head out to defeat the monster.
(Time skip: After the battle)
At Ernie's yogurt place, Jordan walks in to see a bunch of people start cheering after the monster has been destroyed. He stops them and tells them about how it was all a lie. After that, the people just dispersed and he just slowly walked to the front. He was unaware that Troy sat next to him.
"That takes a lot of courage. I think the real Rangers would be proud of you" Jordan turns to see Troy sitting next to him drinking a smoothie. Jordan turns to see Troy sitting next to him drinking a smoothie.
"You think so"
"Yeah dude" Jordan couldn't tell but thought that he sounded familiar.
"Hey, have we met before"
"I don't think so, I'm Troy" He extends his hand out.
"Jordan" They both then shook hands. The two went on to have a good conversation as friends.
