Power Rangers GPX, episode 6: Grand Prix Megazord
[][][]
Kevin stuck out his tongue out, trying to focus on the task at hand. He turned the steering wheel of his Zord, trying to dodge enemy fire. This was especially difficult, since not only was his Zord bunched together with the other Zords, they had to deal with the canyon of buildings that was Tokyo. "Scatter!" said a voice in his ear. Sean had ordered the Rangers to scatter so an incoming blast from the enemy monster would not hit all of them and take them out. "Hitomi! Maria! Circle around, and cut off his escape route!" He said. "Kevin, Rich Boy, you and I will attack from the front! Let's go!"
"Right!" The Rangers did as Sean ordered and prepared to attack. Maria and Hitomi drove their Zords behind the monster, leaving it without an escape route. Sean, Kevin and Daisuke then attacked from the front. "Kevin, head to the - and tr- - - him -!"
Kevin frantically checked his headset. "Sean, I can't hear you!" He said.
"I sa- - to the - and -t h-m -f!" Sean's voice phased in and out, and Kevin couldn't tell what Sean was saying. He began to sweat nervously. He wasn't panicking, having been in this kind of situation before in the Irish Defense Force, but this was still an unsettling problem. Now he was driving with very little chance at communication with Sean.
"Sean! Sean!" He called out. "What is i—" KABOOM! ! An explosion jolted Kevin in his Zord, rattling him around and the Zord went black. Then, he heard another voice.
"End simulation." Then the lights came on again and Kevin O' Donnell removed his headset. Oh wait; there is one thing that was not mentioned: None of the Rangers were morphed, and this was simply a simulation and they were in the secret base for the United Nation's 'Project Ranger' underneath Tokyo, Japan.
"That was not a great performance, Rangers," Kevin heard over the intercom. The simulator opened up and Kevin could see Col. Alan Greene, the military commander of 'Project Ranger' standing outside his simulator. "O' Donnell, what happened in there? Why didn't you do as O' Callahan ordered?"
"Sorry Colonel," said the GPX Blue Power Ranger in his native Irish accent. "My headset was on the fritz, and I couldn't tell what he was saying."
"He was ordering you to go to the right and cut off the monster's route," Col. Greene said.
"But sir, I said I couldn't hear him!" Kevin said again. "It's not easy to follow commands when you can't hear what your commander is saying!"
"That's not much of an excuse, O' Donnell," Col. Greene said in response. "Your headset is not your problem."
"But it is the problem of the tech guys," Kevin replied. "I keep on getting the bad headsets."
"It's still your problem O'Donnell," Col. Greene replied. 'You should be able to figure out some way to communicate."
"Col. Greene sir," said another voice. Col. Greene turned around to see Sean O' Callahan, the GPX Red Ranger saluting him. "Sir, I can vouch for my friend. Even though I could clearly hear him on my headset, it was clear he couldn't hear me."
"I commend you for defending him," Col. Greene replied. "But that's not the point of this simulation."
"Then what is, Colonel?" Kevin asked with an annoyed tone on his voice; even though that's not really a good idea to say to your commanding officer. Even though Greene let it go; sort of.
"The point is that you may end up in a situation when you cannot communicate with each other," he said.
"Then what are we supposed to do, Colonel?" Sean asked.
"It's simple, O'Callahan," Col. Greene replied. "Improvise!" With that, he walked out of the simulator room, leaving the Rangers there to process Greene's words.
"It's not exactly easy," said another voice. This one belonged to Maria Aparicio, the GPX Yellow Ranger.
"You can say that again," said Kevin. "You okay, Kevin?" Sean asked.
"For once I agree with the American," said another voice. This one belonged to GPX Green Ranger Daisuke Miyazawa.
"I guess that's saying something," Sean replied. Their mutual grudges made it difficult to agree on anything.
"I'll say," said another voice, this one belonging to Daisuke's sister, Hitomi, the GPX Pink Ranger.
"Ah jeez, I'm beat," said Sean as he took a big yawn. "Come on, let's get back to the house, I think it's getting late."
"You're right," said Maria. "I need my beauty sleep."
"Damn, I forgot about that," said Kevin. "And I don't think we've eaten anything since noon. And what is it now, 9 at night?"
"Darn, pizza again," said Maria.
"Well, then, let's find an American or Italian-owned place," said Sean. "Japanese pizza sucks, I'd rather find a place owned by a Chicagoan or a New Yorker."
"I agree," said Hitomi. "That last place we had was awful."
"It will be hard to find a pizza place open this late that's American-owned in Tokyo," said Daisuke.
"Well, then we find one," said Sean. "Now let's do what Michael Jackson said and beat it."

Phaedos, the Terror of Rohan, and member of the Four, walked into the throne room for his Emperor, Rashon. Surely, he approached the throne of his Emperor and kneeled before him. "My Emperor," he said. "I am ready to descend to Earth and attack the Power Rangers."
Rashon listened to his words. Rashon looked at Phaedos with his violet eyes and said, "Are your forces ready?"
"Very much so," said Phaedos. "I plan to lure them out with a large-sized monster. In an even better twist, they may not be able to fight it."
Rashon took a sip of his Zordonian red wine and smiled lightly. "Sounds like a good plan," he said. "Which monster do you plan on using?"
"I was thinking about using a cyborg monster," he replied. "Perhaps the Grunchor or the Kel monster?"
"The Kel monster would be more interesting," said Rashon. "Use that one, instead."
"I see," said Phaedos. "Very well then, I shall go down with the Kel monster!"
"And remember what Eltar and I have stressed," he said. "Do not make the same mistake we did. Do not underestimate the Power Rangers."
"Yes, your highness!" Phaedos bowed quickly and left the throne room. Rashon watched his general leave the throne room before taking another sip of his wine.

The next morning, the Rangers were sitting down at the table. Sean was absent, but that wasn't a bad thing. He just wasn't around. The Rangers' robot assistant, Mei, helped Kevin out with some boxes of oranges. "Thank you, Mei," said Kevin.
"You're welcome," the robot replied. At that point, they could hear someone bounding down the steps before hearing Sean hooting and hollering in the living room. Naturally, they were pretty confused about what was going on until Sean ran into the kitchen.
"What's up with you?" Daisuke asked. "Did you with the lottery so your poor father could afford a saw?"
"Keep talkin'," Sean replied. "I'm excited because the Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup!" The room went silent, making Sean wonder if he said something wrong. "Uh, hello?"
"Big deal!" Kevin said, raining on Sean's parade.
"Very funny," he said. "It's been 49 years, and we had a young team. It's a team that might win us some more Cups in the future."
"You were screaming about something good," said Maria. "I thought it was something else." Sean looked at Maria with an annoyed look on his face. Usually that look was reserved for Daisuke.
Daisuke was about to answer when suddenly, the Rangers heard that damn alarm again.
"Haro! Haro! Emergency! Haro! Haro!" A green-colored, ball-shaped robot began bouncing up and down near the table, flapping all the while.
"Man, I hate that thing!" Sean said, referring to the Haro. Mei, meanwhile, walked over to the kitchen counter and press a few buttons, making a screen pop up, revealing Col. Ala Greene.
"Rangers," he said. "There seems to be something descending towards Mt. Fuji. We need you to get here to the base ASAP!"
"Got it!" Sean replied. Greene didn't have to tell him twice. "Come on guys, let's move!"
"Right behind you!" Kevin said. The rest of the Rangers followed Sean outside to the Hummer H2-AKA the Grand Prix Cruiser-and hi-tailed it to the base.
"Alright, here's the situation," said Col. Greene. He pointed to a large screen in the small theater, like one would find a football team watching video in. The Rangers themselves and some of the base personnel watched Greene's explanation of what was going on. "The object was spotted several hours ago by an amateur astronomer." An image of the object appeared on screen. "Now what we know is that this thing is going far slower than an average meteorite. Usually, the average speed is somewhere between 11 to 72 km per second. This one is traveling much slower, indicating that it might be a controlled descent.
"Do you think it's Zordonian?" Hitomi asked.
"That's what we suspect it to be," said Col. Greene. "Now from what it looks like, this is a pretty large object. If so, then you may need to use your special weapons."
"Finally!" Kevin said eagerly. "I've wanted to use the Zords!"
"Now hold on, I'm getting to that," said Col. Greene. "As I said, the object appears to be approaching Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area. You'll have to get there in your weapons in order to investigate this."
"And if this thing turns out to be big?" Maria asked.
"Then that's when your Zords come in to play," he replied. The screen changed to an image of five vehicles. All of them were the same color as the Rangers; Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink. "These are your Zords," he said. "Red's Zord is a standard GT Race Car, codenamed GT Racer."
"Nice," said Sean.
"Blue's is a Touring racing car. It is known as Touring Racer."
"Touring Racer?" said Kevin, displeased with the name of his Zord.
"Green's is a pick-up truck, called Mountain Hauler."
"Sounds good," said Daisuke.
"Yellow's Zord is a HazMat vehicle, called Haz Runner."
"Bueno," said Maria.
"And finally, Pink's is an ambulance, called Am Chaser."
"I like it," said Hitomi.
"Now then, I want you to know this: Your Zords can combine into a larger robot, called the 'Grand Prix Megazord'," said Col. Greene. "It is a powerful weapon, and a single slash from its sword can bring down an enemy. Briefing adjourned. I'll give you more information as we receive it. Good luck, Rangers."
"Thank you sir," said Sean. The Rangers got up from their seats and walked out of the theater. Once they were outside, they lined up next to Sean, with him in the middle. "Ready, guys!" he shouted.
"Ready! GPX! Start it up!" The Rangers pressed a button on their AcceleMorphers on their left wrist. There was a flash of light, and in an instant, the group was changed into their Ranger uniforms.
"Alright, let's go!" Sean said.
"Got it!"
The garage containing the Zords was massive. How in the world the UN was able to fit these things underneath Tokyo without being detected was simply astonishing. Instantly, each Ranger went to their respective Zords. Hitomi and Maria themselves ran to their respective Zords. Maria's Zord was a giant HazMat vehicle, while Hitomi's was essentially a giant Ambulance. Now Maria appeared to be confident, but Hitomi wasn't. "Um, Maria?" She said.
"What is it, chica?" She asked.
"To be honest, I've never driven a car before," she said. "I don't know if I'll do well enough or not!" Hitomi could not see Maria's face, but underneath her helmet, Maria had a look of surprise on her face.
"Why is this manifesting all of a sudden?" She asked. "You never seemed to have confidence issues before."
"I don't know," Hitomi replied. "I guess I'm just nervous.
"Don't worry chica," Maria replied. "You'll do fine. You've been trained to do this."
"I guess so," said Hitomi. "Maybe I'm just getting worked up over nothing."
"Come on you two, let's go!" Sean called out from his Zord. "We gotta get a move on, let's go!" Maria and Hitomi looked at each other and nodded quickly before climbing into their Zords. "Hey Maria, what where you and Hitomi talking about back there?" He asked through his helmet communicator.
"Oh, nothing," said Maria. "Just a little pep talk."
"Okay," said Sean. She wasn't going to elaborate at all. "Alright, is everybody ready?" He said again.
"Ready!" Kevin said.
"Affirmative!" Daisuke added.
"Ready!" Maria said.
"Okay!" Hitomi said.
"All righty then," said Sean. He produced a red card with a magnetic stripe on it. "Access Cards, ready!"
"Ready!"
"Let's go!" With that, the Rangers dropped into their respective Zords. The cockpits themselves were sort of small, but they were kind of cozy. Behind them, their respective colors lit up on a panel behind them. "Swipe Access cards!" A card swipe appeared on the instrument panels before the Rangers, to the right of each Zord's steering wheel.
"Got it!" The Rangers then swiped their Access cards and the massive engines of their GP Zords roared to life, louder than any auto race.
"I like the sound of that!" said Kevin.
"Alright guys, let's roll out!" Sean said again. The massive doors to the hangar opened up, revealing the Japanese countryside. The base must have been close to the Tokyo city limits. In the distance, Mt Fuji could be seen. "GT Racer, roll out!" A massive race-car like Zord, mostly colored red, rolled out of the massive garage.
"Touring Racer, roll out!" Kevin cried. A massive, touring car Zord, colored mostly blue, rolled out of the massive garage.
"Mountain Hauler, roll out!" Daisuke cried. A large, green-colored pick-up truck rolled out of the garage next.
"Haz Runner, roll out!" Maria said. A yellow-colored, massive HazMat truck rolled out of the garage.
"Am Chaser, roll out!" Hitomi said. A large, mostly white-colored ambulance rolled out of the garage, before the garage doors closer.
Back in the control room, Col. Greene watched the GP Zords move out of the garage. A large staff of controllers watched not only the Zords, but the object approaching Mt. Fuji. From what it looked like, the object was relatively large, but it wasn't moving fast enough to cause a massive impact once it landed. "Rangers," he said. "The object's trajectory has been calculated, and it appears to be headed for an area about 20 miles east of the base of Mt. Fuji."
"Roger!" said Sean. "All right guys, you heard the man!"
"So it means its 40 miles from Tokyo?" Kevin asked, just to be clear.
"Most likely," Sean replied. "Colonel, how hast can these things go?"
"Over 200 mph," Col. Greene replied. "And that's just the minimum."
"Nice!" Sean said. "All right guys, let's move!"
"Is the object on its way?" Phaedos asked a sergeant Swabot as he gazed at the peak of Mt. Fuji.
"It will be here shortly," the Swabot replied. "Also, we've noticed five large vehicles inbound to the mountain."
"Oh?" Phaedos asked, sounding intrigued. "Do you think it's the Power Rangers?"
"We suspect it may be," said the Swabot. "Early indications appear to be that they are large-scale versions of Terran automobiles, and that is all we know."
"Monitor the situation," Phaedos said. "And if you do attack them, wait until they get here. I want to see these vehicles."
"Yes sir," the Swabot said as it bowed. Then it left Phaedos alone to ponder the situation.
"Well, this might be an interesting development."
"Five more minutes!" Sean called over the intercom. "Get ready!"
"Any sign of the object yet?" Maria asked.
"None yet," Col. Greene said over the radio. "It should land soon, so be on guard."
"You heard the man," said Sean. "Alright, 'V' formation, on the double!"
"Got it!" On Sean's order, all five Grand Prix Zords, which had at first been in a single-file line, shifted and settled into a 'V' formation, much like a flock of birds. The Zords stayed in that position for five more minutes, which is when Col. Greene contacted them again.
"The object is scheduled to impact at a low speed in 5 minutes!" He said over the radio again. "Be prepared!"
"Yes, sir!" Sean replied. "Alright, stop here!" The Zords then started to slow down before coming to a full stop, just outside a small village. The Rangers waited patiently for the object, finally noticing a round object in the sky above Mt. Fuji. "What's the trajectory?" Sean asked.
"It should land a mile from your current location," Col. Greene replied. "I suggest you stay where you are for now until it lands."
"Understood," Sean replied before switching off the radio. Then he switched to the intercom. "Hitomi," he said.
Hitomi was caught off guard by Sean's sudden statement. 'What is it?" She asked nervously, as if she had done something wrong.
"What were you and Maria talking about earlier?" He asked. Did he notice? Wait, of course he did, otherwise he wouldn't be asking! Hitomi swallowed nervously and took a deep breath before saying,
"Nothing, really."
"You sure?" He replied. "Because it took you a while to get to your Zords."
"I'm fine," Hitomi replied. "I'm trying to focus here."
Sean shook his head. Hitomi couldn't see him roll his eyes under his Ranger helmet, but it didn't matter anyway. What mattered now what whatever was coming.
"Impact in 2 minutes!" A voice on the radio said. This one was not Col. Greene, but it didn't matter anyway.
"Get ready!" Sean called. "Let's roll!" The Zords then began to move forward again, this time to meet whatever was in that meteor.
Phaedos watched the Zords with interest. These things were larger than any Terran vehicle, which meant that they were most likely going to stand up to the Kel monster. But the monster didn't matter to him, anyhow. Now all he needed to do was see just how good these Power Rangers were and then... well, let's not get too hasty here. "Prepare for battle," he said to a commanding Swabot. The Swabot bowed before running off.
"Impact in 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." The voice on the headset slowly counted down the time until impact. By now, the Rangers were racing at full speed in their Zords, ready for the monster to get there. Then they saw a large, spherical object speed in front of them and crash land some distance away. "Impact!" The voice called. While a large object traveling at a high speed would no doubt rise a lot of dust, there was very little, mostly due to the slow speed the object must have been traveling at.
"On your guard guys!" Sean called over the radio. The Zords slowed down to a slower pace, mainly so they wouldn't make some mistake when examining the crater-if there was a crater. From what it looked like, there was none; just the large, meteor-like object.
"Why is there no crater?" Maria asked.
"It must have been the speed it was traveling at," said Kevin. "It looked pretty slow."
"Whatever it was," said Sean. "Stay on your guard."
"You keep saying that," said Daisuke. "We know what to do."
"I'm just saying it to remind everyone, Rich Boy!" Sean shot back. "I just—holy shit, it's moving!" The large object suddenly shuddered, and began to expand, like a sponge. Then, something even stranger happened. The Rangers watched in amazement as the object changed from a ball shape into what looked like a big monster. "Holy shit, that's Godzilla!" Sean said. Daisuke's image appeared on the screen next to him.
"That's not Godzilla!" Daisuke shouted back. "Godzilla doesn't have a big unicorn horn on his head and he doesn't have hair!"
"Well, whatever it is, it looks dangerous!" Sean said. The lizard-like-thing raised its head and let out a loud roar that traveled across the terrain. It did indeed resemble Godzilla somewhat, but did not have the spikes on its back, and as stated previously, had a good-sized mane on its head and back, as well as a unicorn-like horn on its head. Also, its face was a lot more like a T-Rex head. "Godzilla's lawyers are gonna be mad about him!" Sean said
"Focus, Red!" Col. Greene interrupted. "You've got more important things to worry about like that big monster in front of you!"
"Sorry, sir!" Sean replied. "Alright guys, let's get to work!"
"Right!"
"Right, just like we practiced, surround and attack!" The five GP Zords broke formation and began to surround the Godzilla-like-thing. The Haz Runner and Am Chaser circled around behind the monster while the Touring Racer and Mountain Hauler attacked from the side. The GT Racer attacked head-on. "Alright, let's see what this baby can do!" Sean said. He searched the dashboard, looking for any thing interesting. That's when he noticed a joystick right next to the gear shift. "Oh, I like the looks of this!" He said. "Rangers! Is there a joystick near your steering wheel?"
"Yeah!" They said in unison.
"Give them a try," he said. "I'll go first!" Sean grabbed his joystick and pressed a button on his dashboard, causing a targeting computer to pop up in front of him. "Lock on!" The target zeroed in on the monster, and flashed red, indicating it was locked on. Sean then pressed a button on the joystick, causing a series of missiles to pop out of the car's side. Then, several missiles launched at the monster, striking it. The monster writhed in pain, and quickly turned to Sean.
"I think that got its attention!" Maria said. "Let's try it, Hitomi!"
"Got it!" The two also pressed the button on their joystick, and just like Sean, their Zords fired missiles hidden in their chassis at the monster. The monster roared, and then swung its tail at Maria and Hitomi, but the two avoided the attack, backing up just in time before the tail struck them. "That was close!" Hitomi said.
"Rich Boy and I will take it from here!" Kevin said. The Touring Racer and Mountain Hauler also closed in before launching their missiles. The missiles hit the target, but it was becoming obvious that the missiles weren't exactly helping that much. "Oh shite," said the Irish Blue Ranger. "I think we've made him mad!"
"Then get the hell out of there!" Sean said, slipping into an Irish accent. Immediately, Kevin and Daisuke backed up their Zords while the monster brought its tail down on the spot where they were.
"Fools!" Phaedos said. "Their weapons won't harm the Kel monster!" Phaedos watched the Rangers and their Zords struggle against the Kel monster to no avail. The Rangers were helpless.
"Dammit!" Kevin yelled as he dodged an incoming blast from the monster. "You said that thing wasn't Godzilla, Rich Boy!" He shouted to Daisuke.
"It isn't Godzilla!" The Japanese Green Ranger replied as he maneuvered the Mountain Hauler around an incoming blast.
"Then why the hell is he breathing fire on us!" Kevin replied.
"I don't know, I can't answer that!" Daisuke shouted.
"Kevin! Rich Boy!" Sean, the American Red Ranger shouted. "Quit arguing and focus!"
"Sorry buddy!" Kevin replied. He fired another volley of missiles at the monster, this time aiming for the head. But the monster again used its breath weapon to destroy the missiles. Now Kevin was almost out of those.
"Dammit!" Sean angrily shouted. What was making the situation worse was that he had no way to get the Rangers into any formation right now, because the monster would attack them before they had a chance. "That's three fights we've been in, and we keep losing at the beginning! Hitomi! Maria! Do you two copy?"
"Loud and clear!" Maria, the Venezuelan Yellow Ranger shouted. "And we're having equal trouble here, too!"
"I'm fine!" Hitomi replied. The Japanese Pink Ranger maneuvered her Am Chaser around the monster. "Oh dear, this is scary." She said to herself.
"Hitomi, are you okay!" Sean said.
"I think so," said Hitomi.
"What's going on there!" He shouted back. "What's wrong! Hitomi!" First off, why was he so worried about her? Second, what the hell was wrong with Am Chaser?
"Maria," she said. "Remember when I said I was nervous?"
"Si," she replied. "I'm guessing you're scared now?"
"Very much!" Hitomi replied. "I'm not sure if I can handle this!"
"I'm sure you can!" Maria said. "Just believe in yourself, chica!" She maneuvered the Haz Runner around another blast from the monster.
"Right, I can do this," Hitomi said to herself. "I can do this!" She turned her steering wheel, maneuvering the Am Chaser towards the monster. Bad move. "Oh great, bad idea!"
"Hitomi!" Daisuke shouted. His sister was in the monster's firing path! And it was going to blast her!
"Hitomi!" Maria shouted. Her friend was going to die! She needed to move, now!
"Oh, no!" Hitomi turned her steering wheel just in time, avoiding the blast from the monster. She sighed in relief, knowing that she just dodged a massive bullet.
"Good driving Pink," said Sean, as he also let out a sigh of relief. "Alright Rangers, regroup!" The five Grand Prix Zords regrouped in front of the monster.
"So now what?" Kevin asked.
"I say we kick it up a notch, that's what!" Sean replied. "Time to bring 'em together!"
"FINALLY!" Kevin shouted. "I was waiting for you to say that!"
"Access cards, ready!" He shouted, producing an access card.
"Ready!" The other Rangers shouted, producing their cards.
"SWIPE!" The Rangers swiped their cards, causing some lights to start flashing, indicating the Megazord sequence had begun; now to deal with the big, ugly monster. "Harpoons, ready!" Sean shouted. The zords produced some missiles out of their chassis again, launching them again. This time, they had a cable attached to them that tied up the monster. "That oughta tie him up," said Sean. Excuse the bad pun. "Alright, Megazords sequence, online!"
The five GP Zords gathered in front of the tied-up monster. From a distance, Phaedos watched with interest.
"Engage!" Sean ordered. The Haz Runner and Am Chaser executed a three-point turn and lined up side-by-side in front of the Mountain Hauler, the Haz Runner on the left and Am Chaser on the right. The Mountain Hauler's front split in two and a pair of short extensions popped out of the grill, before the Mountain Hauler joined with the two vehicles. Then, the Bus Racer split in two and drove up to each side of the Mountain Hauler.
Then a panel on each half tore off and exposed elbow joints, and out popped a pair of fists from the rear of the Touring Racer. The two halves joined with the Mountain Hauler on each side, forming what looked like arms. Now, it was GT Racer's turn. The Racer Zord drove up tot he truck bed of the Mountain Hauler, and using a ramp, drove into it and docked with the Zord. The large wing on the back retracted into the body. The lights on top of the Mountain Hauler slid back and folded down on top of the GT Racer. Now the large mass was complete.
"Fire rockets!" said a voice at mission control. Underneath the object, massive rockets fired, propelling the bulk upright. The Haz Runner and Am Chaser's cabs stayed still, forming feet for the large robot. The rear compartment of the GT Racer removed from the body, folding backwards, revealing a head. The eyes resembled goggles, and the face mask was solid. No mouth piece. A pair of wheel-like panels on the side completed it. Finally, the robot was upright. The Megazord let out some steam, ready to fight.
"Grand Prix Megazord, online!" The Rangers shouted inside the Megazord cockpit. They had some individual pods, like Indy Car cockpits, only wider. Kevin, Sean and Daisuke were lined up in the front, Maria and Hitomi in the back. The Rangers controlled the Megazord with steering wheels.
"Interesting," said Phaedos as he watched the Megazord transform.
The Haz Runner and Am Chaser form the right and left legs, respectively. The Touring Racer formed the arms. The Mountain Hauler made up a bulk of the body, and the GT Racer formed the rest of the body and the head. "Alright guys, let's see what this thing can do!" Sean said. The Megazord then got into a ready stance.
At that point, the Kel monster freed itself from its bindings. The monster roared, probably disoriented from the fall. "Let's get this sucker's attention!" Sean said. "Hey you!" He shouted at the monster. It got its attention, alright. "Hey ug-ly! You alien piece of shit, you can't beat us! You can't destroy anything if your life depended on it you worthless piece of crap!"
"Sean, what are you doing?" Maria asked with a slightly nervous tone.
"Simple," he replied. "I'm making it mad!" And it worked. The monster rushed the Megazord blindly, with the Megazord reacting by simply stepping aside, allowing the monster to run right past it.
"I guess there is a method to your madness," said Maria. "Watch it, he's getting up!" The monster recovered quickly, getting up off the ground and swinging its tail at the Grand Prix Megazord. The tail struck the Megazord twice, causing it to recoil. Inside the cockpit, the Rangers felt the attack.
"Stupid beast!" Sean shouted. The monster swung its tail again, but Sean would have none of it. "Grab the tail!" He shouted.
The Megazord grabbed the tail of the Kel monster, making it confused. Then, it began to spin around, holding on the the end of the tail all the while. Before long, it flung the monster like a hammer throw at a track and field event. The monster landed a good distance away, luckily missing a nearby village. No doubt the villagers were frightened to death about that.
"We have to get away from the villages," said Kevin. "Over there!" He pointed to a location a mile from where they were. The Megazord then went over to that location, far enough from any nearby villages. Enough room to fight.
"Hey ugly!" Sean shouted. It got the monster's attention again. "Come and get us!" The monster, now enraged, stood up and charged the Megazord. This time, the Megazord clotheslined the monster, sending it to the ground. The Megazord picked the monster up and flung it about half a mile away. "Come on, get up!" Sean shouted. The monster got up and slashed at the Megazord. The Megazord blocked the attack with its blue-colored arm.
"He's a strong one!" Hitomi said as the Megazord struggled to keep the monster at bay. Then the Megazord threw the Kel monster away, making it land a good distance from the Rangers.
"Our turn!" Sean said. The Megazord advanced on the Kel monster as it got up. The Megazord gave the monster a mighty punch to the head, causing it to fall backwards. "Man, this thing is weak!" He said.
"Exaclty," said Phaedos as he watched.
"Alright, ugly!" Sean said. "Get up!" The monster again got up, this time letting out its breath attack at the Megazord. The Zord recoiled, as did the Rangers inside the cockpit. "Okay, that didn't work out as I had hoped!" Sean said.
"Rangers!" Col. Greene called over the radio. "We're sending you the Grand Prix Megazord Saber. It should help."
"Got it!" Sean said. "Send it!" In front of the Megazord there was a flash of light before a large sword appeared in the ground. "Nice!" He said.
"Interesting," Phaedos commented.
"Will this work?" said Hitomi.
"I believe so," said Kevin. The Megazord picked up the sword in front of it and held it up. The monster roared and charged the Megazord but was met by a nasty slash from the Megazord before the Megazord again gave it a nasty backhanded slash, causing the monster to fall down.
"Time to finish this!" Sean shouted. "Grand Prix Megazord Strike, ready!"
"Ready!" The large sword began to glow, and a series of jets lifted the Megazord of the ground. "Grand Prix Megazord Strike!" Everyone said in unison. The Megazord then launched itself at the monster. "Checkered Flag!" The Megazord slashed at the monster with both hands on the sword. The sword cut right throw the monster, sending sparks flying.
