JJ POV
I was sitting on my bed biting my bottom lip. I kept thinking about my kiss with Ziggy. I was called to the Ranger room. Grinders were at the park. Scott, Ziggy, and I went to go check it out. We came up to the Grinders circling a mother with her child.
"Shhh. You'll wake the baby." Scott called.
The monsters turned around.
"Yeah. And if you wake the baby, I'm gunna have to sing you a sweet lullaby. And then tuck you into bed. Without any desserts or a single goodnight kiss." Ziggy continued.
He looked over at Scott and I. Scott looked at him and I chucked. This was the guy I had fallen for. Good job me. Eh, at least he's entertaining. And he makes me smile, SHUT UP BRAIN.
"Oh wait, wait. What am I saying? That didn't even make sense. I'm really sorry. I'm new to being a Power Ranger. I'm still working on my hero-one-liners."
Scott put his hand on Ziggy's shoulder as I stifled my laughter.
"Look Zig, I told you. They're called one liners for a reason! When it comes to talking, less is more."
As he was saying that, he knocked out two Grinders.
"There! Now did you see that? When it comes to talking, boom, pow, zig. Less is more! Now, how come I can't come up with that?" Ziggy walked over to sit on the bench next to the woman.
The Grinders grabbed the both of them.
"Ziggy!" I yelled.
Scott and I ran foreword to attack the Grinders. Ziggy pulled the woman to the side and kept moving her to keep her out of the Grinders attacks.
"Now do you think that ahead of time, be honest, did that sound rehearsed?" Ziggy questioned.
Scott was trying to protect the baby. I was just trying to get rid of as many Grinders as possible. I went over to help Ziggy and the woman.
"Watch it Ziggy! Trying to save lives!" I yelled, only half joking.
"They'll just have to stop monkeying around. Get it? Cause of the monkey bars? No?" Ziggy asked.
I rolled my eyes. His puns were the worst.
"They'll be happy that we let that one slide. You know, cause of the slide?"
We finished with the Grinders and Ziggy started to fall backwards. I gasped. Scott pushed the stroller foreword and Ziggy landed head first into the stroller. I sighed with relief.
"There you go." Scott gave the woman her baby.
I jumped off of the play set as Scott called up Dr. K.
"Doc K, we lost visual on that attack bot." Scott informed.
"Stand by." she replied.
Scott, Ziggy and I got ready to morph.
"Ready?" Scott questioned.
"Ready." Ziggy and I answered.
"RPM! Get it gear!"
We morphed and Scott pulled out his morpher to call Flynn.
"Flynn! Get the team together."
"Aye. Roger that. We're just heading up over here."
"Locking on to attack bot. Sending coordinates." Dr. K informed.
We ran to the coordinates K gave us. There wasn't anything there.
"This can't be right. The coordinates are right where we're standing." Flynn stated.
"The coordinates are accurate." K replied, confused, "The Venjix attack bot is traveling north in a subterranean mining tunnel twenty eight meters below your current location."
We all looked down.
"Doc K? Downmorph the remote crock carrier zord." Scott instructed.
"Downmorphing and launching a new remote zord initiated." K confirmed.
"Let's see what this baby can do." Ziggy announced.
He tried to use the crock carrier and electricity came out of it.
"Ziggy!" Dillon and I yelled.
The crock carrier came out from under the ground. It knocked all of us over.
"Hey! What's wrong?" Dillon asked.
"Crock carrier malfunction. Miss fired zord will hit city electric tower in three, two, one. Impact." K continued.
The zord hit the tower and I inwardly flinched.
"Guys we have to go back and help!" Summer insisted.
We all agreed and began to run.
"Negative rangers. You will continue pursuit of escaping attack bot per my orders." K denied.
"Well fearless leader, what now?" Dillon looked towards Scott.
Scott somewhat bowed his head. I tilted my head in confusion. Even with our helmets on I knew he was having a flashback. It's not hard to tell when it happens to yourself quite often.
"Follow me." Scott ordered.
"Ok." Flynn nodded.
We ran after his figure. He lead us to the destruction zone. I didn't think. I just ran to help the civilians flee the scene. A wire was sliding towards a group of girl. It had sparks of electricity coming out of it.
"Well this looks a bit shocking. Get it?" Ziggy announced, picking up the wire.
I rolled my eyes and went over to the people to help them.
"Ziggy!" Scott yelled.
I gasped. A metal piece from the tower came crashing down. Ziggy jumped and cut the metal with his sword. So fucking thankful for my helmet. I was blushing. He was really attractive.
"Doc K, threat is neutralized."
"Negative Ranger Series Red, you've allowed the target to escape. And from the looks of it, it may be the most dangerous attack bot Venjix has ever created." K replied.
I was watching Ziggy stretch from the corner of the room. K was sitting in her circle of computers as per usual.
"Aren't you ready to turn in doc? Maybe get some sleep?" Ziggy questioned.
"Can't. I'm trying to uncover the coordinates of the crock carriers catastrophic destruction." K answered.
"Where exactly do you sleep?" Ziggy looked around.
K bit her lip and her face fell. I stepped foreword.
"What is it? You find something?"
I walked up next to Ziggy. He looked at me for a brief second then turned his head back to the computer.
"Apparently I miss calculated the required energy levels needed to properly power the remote carrier." K informed.
"Miscalculated. You mean-you mean like a mistake?" Ziggy looked overjoyed.
I breathed out a short laugh.
"You made a mistake."
"It has happened before you know." K sighed.
Ziggy just grinned.
"Once."
The next morning we were standing around a table as K filled the others in on what she somewhat told Ziggy and I last night. Ziggy had fallen asleep in his bowl of oatmeal. I was leaning on the pillar behind him. Next to Dillon. Flynn was sitting next to Ziggy, Scott was standing behind him, Summer next to him, and Tristan was off the side a bit from Summer.
"The energy to size ratio makes it impossible to power the crock carrier without an independent operating entity aboard." K explained.
"Ok, this time, in English please." I called.
"Doc, you said the whole unmanned zord thing would work." Dillon brought up.
"Theoretically." K replied.
"But you said we'd be needing it." Flynn informed, confused.
"We will."
"Then how do you possibly-"
"Just relax guys!" Summer interrupted, "If it were really impossible, she wouldn't be telling us. My guess is that its just not going to be easy."
"Correct. It will require a remote flux core rustor reactor." K answered.
I didn't understand a word of what she was saying.
"I'm not sure we can find this kind of technology in the city." Summer sighed.
"We're not gonna find one in the city. And we're not gonna build one either." K confirmed.
"Look doc, the suspense is just killing me here. Do you know where we can get one of those things or not?" Dillon questioned.
"Nope. But he does." K gestured to Scott.
Ok I decided on making this a two part episode. I was halfway through it and saved my work, when I realized that I was already at one thousand words. I'll post Ranger Red Part 2 in a few days. Or maybe later tonight. I'm not sure how much time I'll have.
