Power Rangers Pirate Armada
Chapter 9: Lionheart! Again…
Log Entry: Kyle and Ashley, Pirate Rangers Red and Pink
Kyle's POV
We now decided to search around to attempt to find the Animarium, and were now floating over Turtle Cove, as Lexie suggested.
AkaRed: "Kyle, you are in the right area." AkaRed decided to help us in our search for the Animarium. I was morphed into my Pirate Ranger state at the moment, piloting the GalleonZord. John and Navi were at the computers in the living room, scanning around for the presence of a turtle shaped island in the clouds, because AkaRed had told us it was in the shape of a turtle. I had everyone else on lookout outside.
Kyle: "Got it, Aka." I told him. I call him Aka or Red sometimes.
AkaRed: "Kyle, we need to talk."
Kyle: "So you know I've been telling my friends about you, huh?" I looked at him, smiling sheepishly.
AkaRed: "Precisely. Listen to me and listen carefully. My existence was only supposed to be known to the Red Rangers of each team in the past, and all of them have honored my agreement but you. Why is that?"
Kyle: "Because I feel I can't keep secrets from my teammates like this. Besides, if Lexie's college report proves true, every Ranger knows who you are now anyway. You're the one who got them all together to fight the Zangyacks in the Great Legend War awhile back." He focused his stare from behind his helmet glaring at me.
AkaRed: "So, everyone knows about me now?"
Kyle: "Not anyone who isn't a Ranger."
AkaRed: "I see."
Kyle: "Look, AkaRed, I'm the captain of the Pirate Armada. We may not be the best crew of Rangers, but hell, we try our damned hardest." I concentrated my look on him just as hard from behind my helmet.
AkaRed: "Yes. You do. That is why I like you as a Red Ranger. You ask for nothing more than the best from your team."
Kyle: "If I asked for more, I'd be stupid." I went into a minor slump for a moment.
AkaRed: "Kyle, don't let yourself think you're stupid."
Kyle: "I am pretty dim-witted, though, you have to admit."
AkaRed: "No more than any other person I know can be."
Kyle: "I thought a possibility was going to Angel Island from Sonic 3 and Knuckles."
AkaRed: "That is pretty dumbfounded." He sweatdropped.
Kyle: "See what I mean, Red? I'm… dumb. But goddammit if I think it's a hindrance!" I got back up, and immediately got back to piloting the GalleonZord. AkaRed gave a short chuckle.
AkaRed: "I'll come back later. There are some matters I need to tend to here on Eltar."
Kyle: "Okay, dude."He vanished as quickly as he teleported in before. I kept my eyes focused on the scanners in my cockpit.
Kyle: "Hey, John, Navi, got anything good to report?"
John: "No, not yet."
Navi: "I don't see- Don't touch that!"
Kyle: "Don't touch what?" I raised my eyebrow at this development of hysteria from Navi.
Navi: "Nothing! I said-"
John: "Sit back down!"
Kyle: "Is Lexie on board?"
John: "Yes…"
Kyle: "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?! No Lexie onboard MY ship without a 24-hour notice in advance!"
Lexie: "Sorry. I just wanted to see the Animarium, Kyle!" She giggled.
Kyle: "Lexie, you might as well make yourself useful while you're here. Go make me a sandwich, I'm peckish."
Lexie: "Get it yourself!"
John: "Make Kyle a sandwich."
Lexie: "Okay, John." I heard footsteps walking away through the comlink.
John: "I'm in trouble, aren't I?"
Kyle: "Yeah, but knowing me, I'll just make you swab the poop deck…" I sighed.
John: "It is a trivial thing compared to some other things that can happen, sure… but why should I swab it?"
Kyle: "Captain's orders."
John: "Can it wait until after we find the Grand Power of the Wild Force Rangers?"
Kyle: "Yes it may. And by the way, after you're done swabbing the poop deck, I'll make you swab the bathrooms!"
John: "ALL OF THEM?!"
Kyle: "Including the girl's!"
John: "Oh, Lexie…"
Kyle: "If I hear you made Lexie do it for you, I'll make you shower me!"
John: "YOU WOULDN'T!"
Kyle: "Try me and find out." John sighed in exasperation.
John: "Fine."
Lexie: "What sandwich does he want?"
Kyle: "Salami and cheese on white with peanut butter."
Lexie: "What?"
John: "Salami and cheese on white bread with peanut butter!"
Lexie: "Okay!"
Kyle: "You're still swabbing the bathrooms."
John: "I know…" I heard him mumble something.
Kyle: "The comlink is still on, Johnny."
John: "Nothing! I'll tell you when I find it on my scanners!" He turned his comlink off, no doubt to continue muttering about me. I sighed, and Lexie opened the cockpit door.
Lexie: "Here's your sandwich, Captain Kincius." I took it, pulled off my helmet, and bit into it.
Kyle: "Excellent craftsmanship. Perhaps, when I do allow you to be a permanent member of my crew, you'll be Ashley's assistant."
Lexie: "That would be nice. Thank you." She curtsied, then left to be with John again while I continued eating my sandwich. She popped her head back in.
Lexie: "I still expect to be compensated for this prediction interpretation thing."
Kyle (Jack): "You will be, Lass. You will be." She fully left my presence now.
Ken: "We've seen nothing yet, Kyle."
Kyle: "Keep looking. We've went across Turtle Cove's perimeter like, three times already! It HAS to be here!" Not only was it seemingly cloaked, it was invisible by the human eye. If we can't get the Grand Power, we'll be toast!
Jessica: "This is pointless. We're on a wild goose chase or something."
Kyle (Jack): "Don't lose hope yet, Ms. Waters. The sky holds many untold mysteries."
Jessica: "Yeah. Right." She sighed.
Ashley: "Wait… that cloud looks familiar."
Ken: "What cloud?"
Ashley: "This one."
John: "Can one of you give it's coordinates on my radar, please? The binoculars you have are linked up to the radar." Ashley did give John the coordinates, seeing as I had the same radar setting.
Jessica: "I saw that cloud, too!"
Ken: "I guess that's where the Animarium is."
Kyle: "Hold on to your underwear!" I swung the wheel around extremely fast, and I heard yelps from everybody as I did so.
Jessica: "HEY! Don't turn that wheel so hard!" I heard her hit her communicator.
Lexie: "We found it?! Can I come?"
Kyle: "No, you're staying with Navi. It could be dangerous."
Lexie: "Screw you!" I started to growl, revealing a little tiger spirit aura.
John: "Stay on the ship."
Lexie: "Sorry, but this is one thing I'm not listening to you on. This is a true fan's first chance to get a firsthand experience to help a Ranger team, and I'm not saying no to it! I'll stay with John! Right?"
John: "Sure, whatever…"
Ashley: "Cool!"
Jessica: "Oh well."
Ken: "Continuing on… Whoa!"
Ashley: "Kyle! Turn on the front cameras! This is an epic view!" I did as she said, because I was curious about it. What I saw made me gasp for a second. A floating island. It was in the shape of a turtle, exactly as Lexie and AkaRed described. I demorphed, revealing a large grin on my face. Lexie would get a fangasm over any Ranger team, sure, but Wild Force was the team that got me into Power Rangers. The first team I was aware of was Turbo, I remembered that, and later, Lost Galaxy was cool because they lived with us on Terra Venture… but what cemented Power Rangers in my mind was this team. They had better looking animals than our home team, their outfits were kickass, they had powers from their respective animals… WHAT MORE DID I NEED?! I'm internally fangasming right now. As we brought the ship closer, I got a feeling in my stomach that kept getting larger and larger. We brought the ship over the island, then I laid anchor.
John: "Do we set foot ashore, captain?" I was still speechless.
Ashley: "Oh, honeybun?"
Jessica: "Dumbass?" I was still looking at the landscape from the cameras.
Ken: "BROTHER!" I finally snapped to attention. I said, "Yeah. Let's go." All six of us, minus Navi, left the boat.
Lexie: "O. M. G! Loving the landscape!"
Kyle: "O.M.G!"
Ashley: "Kyle?"
John: "Something must be wrong if he's imitating Lexie."
Jessica: "Captain Lugnut!"
Kyle: "I'm sorry, it's just… this is the HQ of the team that made me want to BE a Power Ranger." I looked around. The foliage was excellent, I could have sworn I saw the Yellow Eagle Wild Zord flying above us, this was perfect! I took off, running ahead.
Ken: "Wait!" The five of them ran after me. I just wanted to find one of the Wild Force Rangers, probably Merrick, I thought he stayed up here when he wasn't traveling with Zen-Aku. I ran around, absorbing every trace of trees, using my tiger abilities to get a better feel for the area, I mean, this felt like home. I didn't know why! I, once again, grinned immensely before the others finally caught up with me.
Lexie: "There you are!"
Kyle: "I love this place." I continued to say, "It feels strangely like Terra Venture's parks. This is much larger sure, but I LOVE this place. It feels like home."
Ashley: "It sure does. In fact, Kyle, if you look around…" I stopped to look at the area around me.
Ashley: "This is where you and I had our first date…"
John: "Not here."
Kyle: "The area does look terribly similar, though. LOVE this area. Love, love, love!"
John: "Happy, happy, happy."
Ken: "I trained in areas like this, preparing for the day that I'd kill Sworero."
Jessica: "Eh, I have no real attachment to forests."
Lexie: "Me neither. It's the first time I've seen this many plants and trees!"
Ken: "Seriously?"
Lexie: "Ah, DOYEE! I've been a city girl all my life."
Kyle: "Well, you didn't know what you were missing."
Jessica: "If there's anything I learned since coming to New York, it's that you guys need a few less buildings, and a little more foliage."
Ashley: "Uh huh." She lowered herself to my level, since I was on all fours all of a sudden while exploring.
Ashley: "Wanna reenact that kiss?"
Kyle: "You mean…"
Ashley: "Uh huh." She jumped me, and we got to making out with everyone around us.
Lexie: "Okay…" I saw her pull out a notepad.
Ken: "What's with the notepad?"
Lexie: "Blog entry. Writing stuff down to type on it." She took it upon herself to make a blog dedicated to our adventures, going into a few personal details, and doing training sessions. She blogged about what we did, and whether she was recording from a camera or not was up to her. She always carried one on her since meeting us. She pulled the camera out to record Ashley's and my make out session.
Lexie: "The camera wants more! Come on." She zoomed in and out randomly at times. That made Ashley kiss harder and more forcefully. I pushed back just as hard, and we stopped finally.
Lexie: "And cut!" She put the camera back after saving her recording. I smiled, Ashley smiled, it was all cool. We both got back up.
Ken: "Glad you and I ain't like that, Jess."
Jessica: "I know, right."
John: "Getting to the business at hand…" We continued our path through the island, and we found different Wild Zords the Rangers had. We saw a peacock, a wolf, two bears, one black and one white, and we saw a bison.
John: "How soon do you think they'll notice us?"
Kyle: "Hopefully they don't. Come on." As we walked, we heard a whoosh. We looked up. What we saw amazed us.
John: "Zangyack warships?!"
Ashley: "Not here!"
Jessica: "Of all the times! Now?!" The Zangyack ships dropped hordes of Gormin on the ground, and we saw the Wild Zords start to attack the Warships. They were firing back at them. A green gorilla was hurling bananas at them, and the bananas exploded. The black and white bears shot fire and ice beams at them, and the yellow eagle flew at them, trying to claw at them.
Kyle: "Let's clear out the Gormin and SuGormin. I think the Wild Zords can handle the ships for now." Everyone else nodded, and we charged ahead. Lexie took the rear. We found a large hoard heading for a stairway to the top of a pedestal.
Kyle: "Grr… Calling to the beast inside! Release the Tiger!" I sent out my Tiger Spirit Zord, and it charged through the crowd of Gormin. John charged ahead, and he called up some vines to tangle up some of them. Ashley absorbed the rock to be her armor once she got to the steps, and she charged at them, swinging her fists into them, and she chucked a boulder into the crowds. Jessica jumped up, and multiplied herself into five clones. Two of them did drop kick attacks, then pulled out their sabers. The other two pulled out muskets. They shot, attacking the Gormin. Some of them went to attack Lexie, but a force field formed in front of her as they were shot down.
Lexie: "Thanks, Ken!"
Ken: "Take cover!" Lexie nodded, running towards a lone rock conveniently located nearby. Ken made another force field, using it as a battering ram, knocking some of the SuGormin aside. They shot at him, and he swung his sword, sending out a wave of water. It crashed into them, pulling them back down the stairs. The fifth and last Jessica clone hit the ground, and pulled out both her saber and musket.
Jessie 5: "Electroshock Shot!" She shot a bullet, and it dispersed electricity around the surrounding minions when one of them was hit. Ashley punched a Gormin, and tripped another, and kneed him in the face on the way down. I blazed through the crowd, shooting fireballs from my musket. They exploded.
Ken: "Kyle, watch the fire! You don't wanna burn down the whole island, right?" S*. Should've thought of that.
Kyle: "Thanks for reminding me!" I can control my own fire. Whatever. I made it to the top of the stairs first as I saw them holding down a woman. She was in what looked to me like a bride's gown. She even had a veil. Her hair was brown, long, and wavy. Wow. If Ashley wasn't my girlfriend, she'd be a close second choice. Now if only I could remember her name…
Kyle: "Heads up, ma'am!" I swung my Pirate Saber through the Gormin surrounding her, then got in front of her. I shot some fireballs from my musket again, blasting the Gormin dead on. I saw a few SuGormin flying backwards, seeing they were thrown by boulders.
Woman: "Thank you, but who are you?" I turned to her, smirking.
Kyle (Jack): "I'm Captain Kyle Kincius of the Pirate Armada, Savvy?"
Woman: "I am Princess Shayla, keeper of the Animarium and the Wild Zords."
Kyle: "I thought you looked familiar. Don't worry, Your Majesty, these Gormin won't be hurting you anymore! My crew and I can take it from here!" Ashley had caught up with me, shooting a rhino-headed bullet at a SuGormin, knocking him clear through the wall.
Ashley: "They wanted her?"
Kyle: "I know, right?"
Shayla: "I need your help, these creatures are starting to overrun the Animarium!"
Ashley: "Like my captain said, you're in good hands." We took her towards the stairs, and Ken had shot another Gormin. John kicked one, then made some more vines throw some SuGormin off of the staircase.
Jessica 2: "About time! Do they want her?"
Ashley: "I think so!" She slashed another Gormin.
Kyle: "Back to GalleonZord! Quick! She'll be safer there!"
Shayla: "GalleonZord?" The third Jessica pulled up her morpher.
Jessica 3: "Navi, we need to get someone to the GalleonZord. We'll get her within range."
Navi: "Aye aye, Jessie!" John sliced one Gormnin in half, as Ken sent the Jaguar Spirit Zord to maul the new SuGormin coming out way to get Shayla a way through.
John: "LEXIE! We're going to get someone to GalleonZord! Come on!" Lexie ran out, and went to follow us.
Shayla; "You are the Pirate Armada?"
Kyle (Jack): "Exactly, Your Majesty. We need the Grand Power of the Wild Force Rangers now, if you please!"
Shayla: "I don't have it."
Kyle: "What?"
Shayla: "But the closest Wild Force Ranger to our current position is Cole. I'm sure we can call him to help you out."
Kyle (Jack): "Make it so, then, Your Majesty." Shayla closed her eyes while we were running. I assumed she was trying to contact Cole.
Lexie: "Hi, Princess Shayla. I'm Lexie, and I just gotta know, where did you get that dress? I need to get one like that, but in black." Shayla didn't respond. She opened her eyes.
Shayla: "Cole understands."
Kyle: "Okay!"
Shayla: "But he just won't hand it over."
Ken: "Why do we always have to go through some kind of stupid test?"
Ashley: "What does he need us-" Something seemed to run at super speed, and it caught Shayla from right out of our grasp.
Lexie: "What the hell?" We stopped, looking around for what did it. We then turned, noticing her struggling and confused in a grip from a green dog monster with some pink fur coming out of him. One of his paws was larger than the other, but considering our situation, we didn't care at the moment.
Kyle: "Just who in the flying f* are you?"
Monster: "I am the Zangyack Commander, Bowser!" All 10 of us just laughed at him.
Bowser: "What? WHAT'S SO FUNNY?"
John: "Bowser?! Like the Mario character?"
Bowser: "Yes! So?"
Jessica 1: "Do you have any idea how stupid that is?! You SUCK!"
Jessica 4: "You can say that again, girlfriend!"
Kyle: "Oh, this'll be quick then, guys! Ha!"
Bowser: "You dare deny my ability as a commander?! Gormin! SuGormin! Destroy these pests!" He pointed his larger hand forward as the minions charged at us.
Kyle: "Okay. Let's go!" We pulled out our weapons. Some Gormin shot missiles at me. I made them phase right through me, and shot fireballs from my musket at them. I jumped upwards, using fire blasts from my feet, sheathing my weapons, doing hand signs.
Kyle: "Fire Style! Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" I breathed fire out, and the streams surrounded a group of the Gormin, and they were lit up. I landed, then lit my hands and feet on fire, flipping back up.
Kyle: "Judolette Flip!" I turned into a flame wheel, and rolled through them, bowling a bunch of the enemies over. Ken swung his sword through an enemy, then sent out a concentrated blast of water from his musket, blowing some SuGormin backwards. He made a water tower up in a location where some Gormin were charging at him, and they were launched up. Lexie was running backwards, away from them, as she tripped, then tripped a Gormin coming at her. She flipped back up, then side-kicked a Gormin. She did a backwards roundhouse kick, knocking a Gormin back, but another hit her across the face. John launched a boulder from his musket at one of them.
Lexie: "John!" John caught up with her.
John: "Hide for cover!"
Lexie: "I can fight!"
John: "Better than Bulk and Spike, sure, but now's not the time to argue! Go!" The second Jessie ran up to Lexie.
Jessica 2: "I'll take Lexie for ya."
John: "Thanks!" His leg emitted purple flames, and he swung it into a Gormin, knocking it down extremely fast. He then slammed the ground with that leg, kicking up a boulder, and he side-kicked it, launching it at Bowser. It hit Bowser, releasing Shayla.
Ashley: "I'll protect Shayla!" She launched wind bullets at some minions charging to recapture her, while 2 of the Jessie's went after Bowser. He ran at them slashing them apart. They vanished.
Bowser: "What?"
Jessica 5: "Just holograms!" She sent the Cheetah Spirit Zord after Bowser, but he dodged. Jessica 5 and Bowser got into a super speed brawl with each other. He would punch, she ducked under. She kicked him, he'd block, she swung her saber down, and he swung his claw into it, deflecting it. It wasn't possible to keep track of with the human eye. Ashley caught one of the Gormin's clubs, and absorbed that armor to replace the stone she had on before.
Ashley: "Nice club." She kicked the Gormin back, and swung its club into its gut. She threw the club aside.
Shayla: "Thank you."
Ashley: "It's my job. Don't thank me." She smiled at Shayla. Shayla smiled back. I got a call on my morpher, so I stopped rolling from my flame wheel, and pulled it up.
Kyle: "Talk to me."
Jessica 2: "I just got Lexie to the ship. I'll make my way back."
Kyle: "Hurry up!" I saw a yellow blur fighting a green blur.
Kyle: "Bowser and Jessie are fighting, huh?" I made myself roll into the flame wheel again, and I sped along, moving to catch up with the both of them. I caught up with them, and hit Bowser, but both Jessica 5 and I collided. We tripped over each other, and stopped. Jessica 2 got next to Jessica 5.
Jessica 2: "Idiot knock you over?"
Jessica 5: "Yes! Captain Dumbass, really?!"
Kyle: "I was trying to help you!" Ken caught up to us. So did John, Jessica 1, and Ashley.
Bowser: "Impressive, but none of you can defeat me!"
Kyle: "Guess it's time we proved you wrong. Ready?" I pulled out my Pirate Key. All three Jessica's merged back into one.
Ken, Jessica, John, and Ashley: "Ready!"
All of us: "Pirate Power! Transform!" We went through the same old morphing process.
Kyle: "Ready for pillaging! Red Pirate Ranger!"
Ken: "Ready for treasure! Blue Pirate Ranger!"
Jessica: "Ready for new waters! Yellow Pirate Ranger!"
John: "Ready for drinking! Green Pirate Ranger!"
Ashley: "Ready for plundering! Pink Pirate Ranger!"
All of us: "Power Rangers! Pirate Armada!"
Bowser: "GAH!" He ran at us, as we ran at him. He swiped his claw at us, and we each ducked or flipped over it. We each shot bullets at his back, and he stumbled around when he got hit. His minions caught up with us.
Ashley: "Wow. They just keep coming!"
Bowser: "Of course! We're going to take this 'Grand Power' as you call it, and use it to our advantage!"
Kyle: "Um… Why?" Everyone, including Bowser fell over.
Bowser: "To take over the universe you stupid human! Why else would we be here?"
Kyle: "I thought you wanted to destroy the scenery."
Jessica: "Is there really no hope for you?"
Kyle: "That depends on the situation." All of the Gormin launched missiles at us from their sticks. They flew at us extremely fast.
Kyle: "Oh man!"
Ken: "MOVE!" The rest of us ducked to the side while Ken called up some water around him.
Ken: "Tornado Strike! Water!" The tornado he made caught all of the missiles, then he launched all of the shots back at the Gormin.
Gormin: "Gor?!" They started running away, and the explosions sent them flying upwards.
Kyle: "Heh. Here goes!" I charged up my Pirate Saber with some fire.
Kyle: "Meteor BLAZE!" I shot a fireball from my musket, then swung my saber twice, creating a meteor attack. It collided with the Gormin, blowing more of them up. Jessica multiplied into three of her, surrounding Bowser.
Bowser: "What are you…"
Jessica's: "WALL. OF. LIGHTNING!" They made a lightning barricade in an attempt to keep Bowser in, but he sped out before the lightning hit him. The Jessica's shocked themselves! The two clones vaporized while the real Jessica popped her helmet off, and let loose a huge cough.
Bowser: "Nice try, Yellow Ranger!"
Ashley: "Rhino SHOT!" She launched a shot from her musket, with the Rhino SteelZord's head on it, and it collided with Bowser. John jumped up, and slashed him with his Pirate Saber. Bowser hit the ground, shaking the Animarium. John then turned to see Ken and I slashing at the Gormin as they tried to bash us in.
John: "Guys! Move! SEISMIC KICK! EARTH!" He stepped on the ground, sending a fault line at us. Both Ken and I dodged while the line burst open, sending the Gormin flying aside. Bowser slashed John in the back as we caught up with them.
Ken: "Water Dragon Jutsu!" He did send a water dragon charging at Bowser, which enveloped him, and he slammed Bowser into the ground.
Ashley: "RHINO DROP!" She fell to the ground, using an elbow drop attack. She landed the hit, and Bowser yelped like a beaten dog. Once she got back up, Bowser vanished, kicking Ashley in the back.
Bowser: "Ha!" I ran at him, and tried to slash him through with the Pirate Saber, but he deflected it with his claws. He then kicked me aside.
Bowser: "Too bad, Rangers. Seems like you need to get stronger if you want to beat me!" I got up.
Kyle: "Guys, his speed's becoming an issue. I say we kick it into track speed!" Everyone nodded. I pulled out the Red Track Speed Ranger Key, and the others pulled out those keys, as well.
All of us: "Ranger Power! Track Speed!"
My morph happened first. I lost my pirate outfit, then jumped into a Grand Tourer. It revved up, and took off. The speedometer went to 88 mph. I then jumped out, and the car glowed, then split apart, transforming itself into different parts of my Ranger outfit. My boots appeared first, turning white, then my pants and shirt came on. My pants were red and my shirt was red with a white T. White gloves materialized on my hands, and then I put a helmet on. It's visor was rectangle shaped, and finally, an emblem displaying the Grand Tourer popped onto my left near my arm.
Kyle: "Track Speed… RED!
John's morph was second. He had hopped into a black race truck, and it had burst through three rocks before exploding and launching John out without his Pirate outfit. The truck also transformed into his Ranger outfit. It was black, also sporting a T, with white boots and gloves. He then put his helmet on, and his visor was shaped like a rectangle with slight semicircles at the bottom of the bottom corners.
John: "Track Speed… BLACK!"
Ken's was next. He hopped into a sport utility jeep, and it revved up, eventually jumping off a cliff while Ken hopped out, and his morph happened in free-fall. The jeep exploded, giving him his outfit. White shoes, white gloves, and a blue outfit with a white T appeared on him. His helmet materialized immediately after he landed. It's visor had a similar design to mine.
Ken: "Track Speed… BLUE!"
Jessica's was second to last. She had hopped into a Dune Buggy. It immediately revved up, and started driving through a desert. The sun and moon's time span moved extremely fast before she finally jumped out, stopping it at a moon. The new outfit materialized as the others had, but a white skirt with gold lining also sprouted out. She landed on the ground, making the sun rise back up. Her helmet came on afterwards. Her visor was half-rectangular and half-ovular.
Jessica: "Track Speed… YELLOW!"
Ashley's was last. She was in a station wagon. It was on a highway, and once she saw her exit, she took it at the fastest she could make it go, and the station wagon split apart, immediately turning into her new outfit. Her outfit was similar to all of ours, and she landed on the ground, skidding to a stop as her helmet materialized on. It was purely ovular.
Ashley: "Track Speed… PINK!"
All of us (out of morph sequence): "Power Rangers! Track Speed! Revving it up to victory!" We had a motor sound rev up out of nowhere.
Kyle: "I can never get tired of that."
Bowser: "You will no longer be a threat to me!"
Kyle: "I'll take on Fido here. The rest of you handle the minions."
Ken: "Got it. Follow my lead, guys!" The other three took off with him to charge at the Gormin. Bowser charged at Shayla, and I revved up at full speed at him, and landed a flying side kick on him. He flew backwards.
Shayla: "Why would they want me? Do they think I…"
Kyle: "You're not a ranger, but they don't know that. That's all I can guess." Bowser got up, and charged at me, roaring. I pulled out my GT Sword, and charged at him, and we clashed my sword with his claws. The clashes moved at a normal speed to Bowser and I, but to Shayla, it was like a blur. She couldn't keep track of our movements. He swung his claw sideways as I brought up the sword to block it. I then kicked him back, sending him into a tree. I jumped up, and pulled out my Track Laser pistol. I fired it at him, and he flailed at the shots. He recovered, and jumped at me again. I landed, making the Track Laser into a sword, and combining them together.
Kyle: "GT Sword! Combo Mode!" The weapon was now a double bladed sword. I like Track Speed Red mostly because of that. Bowser kicked the sword's hilt as I blocked his kick with it. Probably not my best idea, because it flew out of my hand. I then was slashed as I hit the ground, landing on my belly. Ashley turned, and noticed it.
Ashley: "HEY! W Baton! Let's do this!" She charged ahead, and bonked old Bowser on the noggin. She then turned around, and used her Track Laser to blast him. John, Ken, and Jessica caught up with us.
Ken: "J Gun! Fire!" He fired blue laser beams, blowing Bowser backwards a little more as John came up to his back.
John: "T Hammer! SMASH!" He swung the broad end of the hammer into Bowser's back, knocking him towards Jessica.
Jessica: "B Bowgun!" She pulled out a yellow crossbow weapon, and fired yellow lasers at him. He landed on the ground as we all got together. I picked up my GT Sword as Bowser got back up and the five of us were staring Bowser down.
Kyle: "Okay. You are SO going down, pal."
Ken: "You think we went easy on you? Is that it?"
Bowser: "No more! I, Bowser, of the Zangyack's Commanders, will destroy you all!" We heard a yelp, and saw the SuGormin grabbing Shayla.
Kyle: "NO!" I got the Track Laser back into blaster mode, but a loud roar stopped us all in our tracks. We looked around, and heard the roar again. There was a loud explosion, and we saw a red lion with rocket jets on its shoulders with a golden mane and green eyes.
Shayla: "Lion Zord! Wait, not all of them are intruders!" The Lion Zord roared again, and jumped at us.
Jessica: "Brace for impact, guys!" I looked at the Lion Zord, feeling a connection for some reason. It paralyzed me on the spot.
Kyle: "I think I actually-" It was then that the Lion Zord landed, and swiped its claws at us. It launched all of us, including Princess Shayla off the Animarium. All of us were screaming as we were falling down.
Ashley: "NO! Not now!"
Ken: "God! So close!" We saw the SuGormin holding Shayla transform into flight mode, and fly off with her in tow.
Jessica: "NO! Kincius! Kincius! DUMBASS!" I finally snapped back to my senses.
John: "Why the hell did you zone out like that?!"
Kyle: "I don't know. I think I actually kind of understood it when it roared. Like it was talking."
Ashley: "Animals don't talk!"
Jessica: "Great. A dumbass, and he has delusions of grandeur."
Kyle: "I'll show you delusions of grandeur, you ungrateful little-"
Ken: "Don't you f*ing finish that sentence!"
Kyle: "Wait!" I pulled out my Flight Force Ranger Key.
Kyle: "Let's fly back down! It'll be easier that way!" The other five nodded towards me.
Jessica: "Okay!"
All of us: "Flight Power!" We instantaneously morphed into the Flight Force Rangers. We spread out our wings from our backs to our arms, then started gaining balance while we were falling.
Kyle: "John! Ashley! Save Shayla!" They both nodded, flying towards the SuGormin. Bowser was still falling.
Ken: "What about us?"
Kyle: "We'll take the fight directly to Bowser!"
Jessica: "Got it!" We flew down towards Bowser, and noticed he sped through the air towards John and Ashley.
Kyle: "NO!" Jessica pulled out her communicator.
Jessica: "Ashley, Koopa King's coming your way! Look out! We'll be in pursuit!" We sped ahead, pulling out our Flight Blaster sidearms.
Ashley's POV
Ashley: "He's what?!" It was then something green rammed into me and sent me steering off course to saving Princess Shayla.
John: "Ash! Hold on, sis! I'm coming!" He flew at me as I tried to get my flight pattern back to normal. It wasn't working as well as I had hoped, either. H emust have scratched my wing!
Ashley: "I can't get proper air movement under my wings! AAHH!" We flew around the place as I saw Kyle and the other firing at Bowser. They sent him off course, but it looked like the SuGormin got away from them. I kept flapping my arms while John stayed close. I rammed my side into one of the buildings in Turtle Cove, and kept falling towards the ground.
Kyle: "S*! I'm coming, babe!" He flew into a dive bomb position, and sailed right past me. He outstretched his right hand. I grabbed it, and I ended up screwing up his flight pattern, as well. We both landed in a pile of boxes outside of a warehouse. John, Ken, and Jessica landed around the area of boxes, and started to climb up it to get us.
Ken: "Little brother! You okay?"
John: "Ashley? Captain?" I got up while pulling up Kyle. His helmet's hawk eyes were swirly. I giggled, then went to help him up, but grunted as I fell to my right knee.
Jessica: "Found them!" They ran to us, and helped both Kyle and I out of the pile of boxes.
Ken: "Are you two okay? I mean, that was quite a fall there."
Kyle: "Molly say wha…"
Ashley: "He cushioned my fall with his face, I think." I lowered my head to his, and whispered, "Thank you." He put a thumb up. We demorphed to human, and wandered into the city. Ken was holding Kyle upright as he was recovering from his dizzied state.
John: "Just great. The Zangyacks have the princess. No thanks to that stupid lion."
Ken: "I think it was just trying to protect the Animarium. I mean, it is the Wild Force Lion Zord."
Ashley: "That still didn't help- AGH!" I keeled over, and grabbed my knee.
John: "We NEED to take a look at that. Hold on, Ash." John bent over to examine my knee. I had blood on my new sock!
John: "Bruise. Deep cut. Probably from the collision with that building. You can't walk on that without proper bandages, Ashley."
Ashley: "But you guys need me right now…"
John: "We'll head to a store around here. I need to get some medical tape. I got to start carrying more supplies on hand!"
Voice: "Maybe I can help with your predicament." We turned, and witnessed a tan-skinned man with long black hair tied back in a ponytail, a goatee with a mustache, and wearing a veterinarian's outfit. He looked at us seriously.
John: "Sir, my sister has a gash in her leg, and we need-"
Vet: "No need to worry. Bandaging humans is generally the same as bandaging any dog or cat." I saw that Kyle snapped out of his dizzy trance.
Kyle: "Hey! You're Cole! From the Wild Force Rangers!" All five of us gasped.
Cole: "You would be correct. Am I correct in assuming you five are the Pirate Armada Princess Shayla told me about?"We all nodded at him. His look turned even more serious.
Cole: "Then we don't have much time. Shayla was kidnapped by the SuGormin. I've been in telepathic contact with her for the past 25 minutes."
Ashley: "Is she okay?"
Cole: "For now. I'll help you, but first, your friend appears to be in no condition to fight. I'll help her while the rest of you try to get her back."
Kyle: "But… I'm her boyfriend. I need to stay with her and…"
John: "Go."
Kyle: "But…"
John: "I'm the only one on this team with real medical experience. I'll stay with Cole and Ashley to make sure she's fine. Besides, you, Jessie, and Ken are the best fighters on the team. Didn't you say I was the best damn doctor you ever had, Kyle?" I looked at Kyle to see what his answer would be. He nodded.
Kyle: "Okay. Cole, John, I entrust you with Ashley's safety."
Cole: "Consider it done, Kyle."
Kyle: "Ken, Jessie, you two are with me. The sooner we save Shayla, the better. Then we'll take her back to the Animarium."
Ken: "Okay, but what about the Lion Zord?"
Cole: "He'll listen to me. I'll make sure she gets back safe and sound."
Kyle: "Consider that done, too, Cole. Alright, Rangers! Let's go!" Kyle, Ken, and Jessica started heading off in the direction they saw Shayla go.
Jessica: "Don't worry, Ash! Kincius will be fine!" I nodded towards her. She gave me a thumbs up, and ran again. I looked at Cole. He helped John help me up, and we walked towards Cole's vet office. Once we got there, Cole walked up to his receptionist while John sat me down for a second.
John: "Don't worry, Ashley. Kyle'll be just fine. I'll back you up, Cole's here, you have the best care in the world right now."
Ashley: "I just want Kyle here with me is all…" I looked at him with large, bambi eyes. John sighed.
John: "Ashley, trust Cole, okay? He knows what he's doing." Cole walked back to us.
Cole: "I told the receptionist to reschedule the rest of my appointments for the day. I'll help you now." I nodded, letting Cole and John pick me back up again. He set me on a doctor's table, and I noticed a small Labrador with its right front leg in a cast.
Cole: "Worried about Goldie?"
John: "Goldie?"
Cole: "His owner named him. Don't worry about him. He's very friendly." Goldie looked at me, and cocked his head to one side. I giggled at him.
Cole: "I think I'm going to need you to take your boot and sock off for now, Ashley." I nodded. I took them off as both John and Cole started to check my cut. I hoped they'd be able to fix it before it was too late, but who knows…
Kyle's POV
Our search for Princess Shayla and her kidnappers continued. We weren't getting very lucky with this situation.
Jessica: "This blows!"
Ken: "Chunks."
Kyle: "Vomit." They both looked at me absentmindedly.
Kyle: "If I was a SuGormin, where would I take a kidnapped Princess?"
Jessica: "If they took her away from the city… we should have Lexie and Navi do a long range scan!"
Ken: "And 'if' is the key word, captain." I nodded. I scanned the surroundings, mostly tops of buildings. Jessica grabbed my shoulder, and pointed forwards. There was Bowser, with some SuGormin guarding Princess Shayla. We looked at each other, nodding, and running towards them.
Ken: "I think you have something that belongs to us!" The three of us looked at them as we ran up.
Bowser: "You rangers again! DAMMIT! Attack, SuGormin!" They shot lasers at us as we all dodged them, and pulled out our Pirate Keys.
Kyle: "NOW!"
All of us: "Pirate Power! Transform!" We turned the keys in, and morphed into our Ranger selves, pulling out our Pirate Sabers and Power Muskets. I fired off some bullets right away. Jessica flipped up, and shot some electric bullets downwards. The SuGormin spastically shook, then exploded. More of them returned fire as Ken ran up, and slashed them up with his Pirate Saber. I joined him as Jessica landed, then swung her Pirate Saber, sending out an electric wave at Bowser. He dodged, then ran at Ken. Ken swung his saber up, blocking his claws, as I jumped up, and lit my saber on fire, and swung it down. It hit him, lighting him on fire. Ken kicked outwards, launching a water jet from his foot. Bowser yipped, flying upwards. Bowser then landed on his back, rolling around to get to his feet. Some SuGormin showed up, and tried to ambush us with flying punch attacks. I swung around, and shot fireballs from my musket, knocking them back. Jessica sprinted at Bowser, and engaged him in speed combat again.
Bowser: "The Red Ranger was faster when he was the Track Speed Ranger! ROAR!" He swung his claw, slashing Jessica across the chest. Ken flipped upwards, and put his weapons away, punching the ground. A water pillar appeared from below Bowser and Jessica, launching them both into the air.
Ken: "Oh God! Sorry!" Jessica gave him a thumbs up, then spun around, and sent lightning bolts out of her hands, shocking Bowser. The SuGormin started to surround Shayla, when I sent the Tiger Spirit Zord in her direction, knocking back the SuGormin. She turned to see me manipulating the Tiger's actions.
Shayla: "Kyle! Thanks!"
Kyle (Jack): "No need for you to thank me, Your Majesty!" The Tiger Spirit Zord picked up a SuGormin in its jaws, then spit it out. They launched lasers at it, only for it to sweep it's claw through them, knocking them around. I made it dissipate, then rolled up into a flame wheel again, and tackled them over, then rolled around Shayla, creating a fire tornado around her.
Kyle (Jack): "If any one of you tries to get her now, you'll get burned."
Shayla: "Kyle, are you-"
Kyle (Jack): "You bet, lass! I mean, Your Majesty!" I stopped rolling, then launched fireballs at them from my hands. They fell back, shooting back at me. I raised a fire pillar to absorb their shots, then a fire tornado appeared from behind it, enveloping all of the SuGormin as the one around Shayla disappeared. The SuGormin within the newly formed tornado were hit by me zooming around and around, punching and kicking them as I flew through it. Each hit created a spark, then I jumped out of the tornado, landing dramatically in front of Shayla. I snapped my finger, and the tornado released a fiery explosion, blowing apart all of the SuGormin inside, reducing them to a pile of scrap.
Shayla: "You have an excellent mastery of your abilities, Kyle."
Kyle (Jack): "Aw, you think so, lass?"
Shayla: "I do. Now, you will need to help your teammates with that Bowser monster!"
Kyle: "Can do, Your Majesty!" I ran ahead, unsheathing my saber.
Kyle: "Ken! Think fast!" I yelled. I tossed it at him as he threw me his musket. I caught the musket as he got my saber. I then pulled out my other one.
Ken: "What'cha planning?"
Kyle: "Let's see just how good of a marksman I can be!" I turned both muskets sideways, and slammed the bottoms of them together. I fired away on both muskets, releasing a barrage of tiger bullets with them. Bowser shielded himself from the shots. Jessica then zoomed at him, and kicked him with a glowing yellow leg, and a cheetah roar was heard when she kicked him. The barrage of shots hit him as Ken spun around.
Ken: "Tornado Strike! Water!" He flew through the air, and enveloped him in a water tornado, and slammed him into the ground. He ended the tornado, and threw the swords into Bowser, then did a bunch of hand signs.
Ken: "Water Style! Water Dragon Jutsu!" The drips he left behind created a dragon, and it flew up, and flew down into Bowser, eating him, and it imploded, with the force sending water droplets outwards. Ken picked the two sabers back up, and flipped back to Jessica and I. We high fived.
Ken: "Easy."
Jessica: "Oh hell yes!"
Bowser: "You think you… got me!? I've only just begun!" He ran at us, slashing us all down. We stumbled to the ground, feeling al the damage he just now did.
Bowser: "You cannot defeat me the way you are now! Sure, Jungle Fury gives you the ability to use animal powers, but you need to be ONE with them!" We cringed at him. I picked up both of my muskets, firing off some fireballs. He dodged them all, and putned me away like a soccerball. Jessica swung her saber into him, but Bowser dodged while she struck Ken, and she gasped. Bowser reappeared, and slashed them both, and kicked us back.
Bowser: "Too easy!"
Kyle: "John… Ashley… Cole… hurry up!"
Ashley's POV
Cole: "There. That should tide you over until you're ready to battle again." I got up, and John made sure I could walk around, which I was able to.
John: "Okay. Now, why won't you give us your Grand Power?"
Cole: "I'm not going to give it up. You don't have the ability to understand animals like my friends and I do."
Ashley: "Then teach us how! Nick, Commander Kruger, and Casey-sensei all trust us! We proved ourselves to them, Cole. How can we prove ourselves to you?" I looked straight into his eyes.
Cole: "You call Casey your sensei?"
John: "Yes. All of us do. It's kind of our thing… with him. He's okay with it."
Ashley: "He was more Kyle's sensei than mine, but I had RJ-sensei to teach me how to use my Rhino energy!"
Cole: "RJ. A weird one he was. But he did his job well."
John: "Cole, how can we prove ourselves? We NEED that power of yours. If not, the Morphing Grid will be toast, and…"
Cole: "Remember Goldie?" John and I looked at him. He was whimpering.
Ashley: "Yes. He's struggling to walk."
Cole: "Help him to walk with his cast, and I'll give you and your team the Grand Power you seek."
John: "No problem! Goldie… Goldie… it's me, John." Goldie looked up at us, with his questioning gaze. This dog must have been through some tough s*. Huh… Okay.
Ashley: "We're going to help you." I started to go for his legs, but he nipped at my hands.
Ashley; "AH!"
John: "Hey! Watch yourself, pal!" He nearly grabbed Goldie, but he was bitten.
John: "F**!" He flailed his arms back, then ran around the room.
Ashley: "Okay. I understand you don't want to be touched, but we need to help you."
Cole: "I had that problem with him myself. He hates when strangers attempt to touch him."
John: "Then what are we going to do?" Goldie let loose a slight growl.
Ashley: "Look me in the eyes, Goldie." He did so. His gaze went to my bandage.
Ashley: "See, I have one too. Goldie, I can help you. I understand your problem. If we work together, we can both be at top performance again. All I ask is that you trust me." He gazed at me as I gave him my full attention. He moved towards me slowly. John tiptoed slowly back. Goldie gave no extra response. I kept backing up on my legs. My leg started to hurt, but I wasn't going to let that affect me right now. John got on all fours to try and show Goldie how to walk. He watched John, and watched me after he looked at John. He started moving, this time, towards Cole.
Cole: "Hmm…"
John; "That's it, little guy. That's it." I followed behind him, and slowly moved, much like he was. Eventually, after trying, and failing to walk normally, Goldie got to his feet, and started up again. He started to walk towards me, then jumped while still having the cast on. It unwrapped itself, and he landed in my arms. My bandage came off as well.
Cole: "Amazing. Much quicker than I thought it would happen. Okay. I'll give you all my Grand Power, but first, we must locate your friends. I'm sure they need help to defeat Bowser and save Shayla." We nodded. Bowser is going down! We had taken off, flying in their direction, when we looked down, and saw Bowser charging up an attack.
John: "Oh HELL no!" He pulled out his Power Musket, and shot down a boulder at Bowser. It clobbered him, and I launched myself down, and kicked him backwards. He stumbled, then John and Cole kicked the rock John was using to hover into him, and he flew backwards.
Ashley: "Hey." I looked down at Kyle. He was a little bruised.
Kyle: "Yo."
Kyle's POV
Ashley had helped me up after she got there. Cole and John helped up Ken and Jessica respectively.
Cole: "John and Ashley have proved to me that you all have what it takes to inherit the power of the Wild Force Rangers today."
Ken: "About time. What'd you have to do?"
John: "Help a dog walk again."
Jessica: "Well, it fits." Bowser slashed the rock to bits.
Bowser: "RANGERS!" he pulled out a communicator.
Bowser: "Damaras, sir! Send down reinforcements!" All six of us, plus Shayla had our eyes widen.
Damaras: "I was already sending them." A squad of SuGormin came flying down, with some Gormin riding on their backs. They aimed their grenades at us and launched them. Ken put a force field up, looking to see how many there were as he was absorbing the blasts. Shayla ran up to catch up to us.
Shayla: "Did I not say they were here to help, Cole?"
Cole: "You did, Princess. I wish I believed you the moment I heard it. These five remind me of everyone else."
Shayla: "They're just different in that, they do what they have to."
Cole: "Differences aside, they do everything we do." The barrage of grenades ended, and Ken pulled the force field down. The Gormin dropped down, and the SuGormin landed, transforming to robot mode.
John: "Ready Ashley?"
Ashley: "Ready!"
John and Ashley: "Pirate Power! Transform!" Their morph process happened. Their morpher shot out 3 X's and a V. The first X created their black jumpsuit, the second X created the colored part of their shirt, the V made the helmet, and the last X made the key and cross-sword symbol on the helmet.
John: "We are so ready now."
Cole: "Now's the time." He summoned an energy orb, and it had the Wild Force Ranger symbol inside of it.
Kyle: "So, what does this one do?"
Cole: "I'll explain it after we're done transferring it over." We all touched the symbol, and felt it's energy transfer into us. I had heard a lion roar upon absorbing it.
John: "That felt weird…"
Cole: "You all should now have the abilities of the animals we were based off of. Kyle, the strength and predatory instinct of the lion is now yours."
Kyle: "So we inherited the natural abilities of the animals you were based on?"
Cole: "Yes. Ken, you should be able to breathe in water now, and have enhanced senses while you are underwater."
Ken: "Actually, I could use that! YES!"
Cole: "Jessica, you've inherited the flight and the amazing sight of the eagle."
Jessica: "So what, I sprout wings and fly now?" She raised her arms up, and some yellow wings with golden stripes sprouted out of her back, connecting to her wrists. Some feathers did spread out longer than her hand near the wrist.
Jessica: "This is just freaky." Cole laughed and Shayla joined in.
Cole: "John, the immense durability and power of the bison is now yours."
John: "Not bad."
Cole: "Ashley, you should be able to have the agility and senses of a tiger."
Ashley: "Kyle and I basically got the same enhancements?"
Cole: "I assume so, yes." We looked at each other.
Kyle: "I'm cool with that, Cole." I brought my hands out, sprouting claws where my fingernails used to be. Ashley responded the same way. John harrumphed like a bison would, and Ken snarled like a shark.
Cole: "Now, Princess, take me to the Animarium. I need to talk to an old friend about this matter." Shayla nodded.
Kyle: "Aw, Cole, don't you want to watch us kick this guy's ass now?"
Cole: "I promise it won't be long. Just wait. Use your powers wisely until I get back." Shayla and Cole disappeared.
Bowser: "NO! You got the Power!"
Jessica: "And we're not giving it up for anything!" She ran, and then jumped, flapping her wings to fly upwards. She shot down bullets as she was flying. Ashley and I got on all fours, growling, and charging as a pair into battle. We slashed up the Gormin and SuGormin as we came to them. I literally roared like a lion, and tackled them down. When I swung my leg up to do a roundhouse kick, I noticed my boots had grown claws, as well. This was a pleasant surprise. Ashley flipped up, flipping higher than she ever had before, and drop-kicked a Gormin as it attempted to intercept her attack. She swung her claws into a SuGormin, and went into a flurry of claw strikes similar to Felicia's combos from Darkstalkers. She would flip through the air, roll around into a ball and tackle them, and kick them to send them flying back. John charged in on all fours, and rammed some enemies upwards. He then pulled up his Power Musket, launching a boulder into the ones he launched. Ken made a water tornado again, and I noticed he was inside it, and he seemed to be wanting to stay in it this time. He enveloped the minions, and took them out while they were inside the tornado, similar to how I was doing it. I lit my claws on fire, and slashed through a SuGormin. It ignited as another one tried to strike me, but I turned intangible to force him to phase through me. I then booted him with a Falcon Kick attack.
Kyle: "FALCON… KICK!" My foot flew right through the SuGormin. I then pulled out my saber and musket, and shot a tiger bullet out at the Gormin. The Tiger Spirit Zord appeared, bowling over his opposition. Jessie charged her wings with electricity, then launched a barrage of electric feathers from her wings. The shots amazed us. Holy crap. The more powers we get, the more we can use them in combinations like this! DAMN!
Jessica: "Okay. Now, I LOVE being a Pirate Ranger!" She flew forward, and dive-bombed some enemies while flying through the crowd. Ashley absorbed the ground, noticing the armor went on to cover her newfound claws, too.
Ashley: "BOWSER!" She roared, and charged at him. Their claws collided, and she found out she was able to keep up with Bowser now. It was a classic cat vs. dog fight here. I charged out with my claws brimming with flames. I joined in with her, fighting Bowser. Bowser kicked Ashley away as I struck him with my burning claws. When I opened my helmet, it revealed my mouth, and he noticed my newly grown fangs were ignited, as well.
Kyle: "FIRE FANG!" I bit down into Bowser's arm, and he whimpered, then swung me around. I clamped my feet to the ground, trying to hold him in place. This was when we witnessed John charging over, and he rammed his head into Bowser dead on. I let Bowser loose as Jessie nailed him with an electric feather barrage, then Ken tackled him with his water tornado, and slammed him into the ground again. We got back together as my helmet closed.
Ken: "I feel one with the shark aright. Damn, Cole knew what he was doing."
Ashley: "I know. This feels so liberating!"
Kyle: "Extremely. I feel like I could hunt ANYTHING now! Bowser was right! Simply understanding our beasts within isn't enough! We need to become one with them! Thanks for the advice, big dog!" Bowser got up.
Bowser: "As if my advice matters! I've been one with my inner beast since I was born! What makes you think-"
John: "Shut up." We turned, and noticed that the minions were closing in on us.
Kyle: "Let's open the cages." I pulled out my Red Wild Force Key. Everyone else responded wholeheartedly to my choice. Ashley de-armored, and we turned off our more animalistic features for the moment.
Everyone: "Wild Access!" Our morphers created growl phones in front of us. They each turned into a humanoid form, then exploded, revealing us in the helmetless Wild Force outfits. Our helmets then materialized over our faces. *Start Wild Force theme*
Kyle: "Blazing Lion! Red Wild Force Ranger!"
Ken: "Surging Shark! Blue Wild Force Ranger!"
Jessica: "Soaring Eagle! Yellow Wild Force Ranger!"
John: "Iron Bison! Black Wild Force Ranger!"
Ashley: Noble Tiger! White Wild Force Ranger!"
All of us: "Power Rangers! Wild Force!" We heard a lion roar. We also noticed that it wasn't just from the role call. We looked up, and saw the Red Lion Zord from before that attacked us when we were the Track Speed Rangers. We freaked out for a second, but I noticed something.
Kyle: "Wait. I CAN understand him!"
Ashley: "Really?"
Jessica: "There's no way!"
Voice: "There is a way, my boy."
Kyle: "Lion Zord?" The Lion Zord nodded.
Lion Zord: "My former master, Cole, explained everything to me, Kyle. I apologize for not understanding your intentions of protecting Princess Shayla from more harm. I should have realized it the moment I saw your Ranger suits."
Kyle: "Ain't no thing, yo."
Lion Zord: "I am sorry?"
Kyle: "Something you'll probably have to get used to if you want to hang out with me and stuff."
Lion Zord: "Ah. Ha ha. Okay." He had vanished for the moment, leaving Cole behind.
Cole: "He understands." He took a second to see our Wild Force outfits.
Cole: "What are you all waiting for? Show that Zangyack what saving the world is like!"
Kyle: "Will do, Cole! Alright, Rangers! No more standing around! Red Lion Fang!" I pulled out my lion gauntlet weapons, and charged at the crowd, swinging them through.
Ken: "Blue Shark Fighting Fins!" He got down to his knees and was charging up a blue orb. He fired it when it was large, blowing away a large chunk of Gormin.
Jessica: "Golden Eagle Sword!" She jumped up, and swung it down, slicing a Gormin in half. It split apart as the other minions charged at her. She also pulled up her Crystal Saber, and used it as a second sword to help her out. She swung them both around to deflect, then strike at the same time.
John: "Black Bison Axe!" He brought out an axe weapon, and swung it through a SuGormin's midsection, and did a fair amount of damage to it this time. When the SuGormin shot more lasers at him, he swung the axe through the shots, deflecting them back. He then charged at them, and hurled them behind him with the bison horns on his helmet. He got back up, and shot a laser from his Crystal Saber. A Gormin fell over as more charged at him. He stepped on the ground, and shook the ground apart, making some of them fall through a fault line.
Ashley: "White Tiger Baton!" She pulled out a baton, and whacked a SuGormin with it as it tried to punch her. Three more Gormin charged at her, and she swung the baton through all three of them. I swung my gauntlets through one coming at her, then we got back to back.
Ashley: "You know, Kyle?"
Kyle: "What?"
Ashley: "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here right now. With you, I mean."
Kyle: "Thanks, Ashes." We then heard someone running over.
Lexie: "DAMMIT! What did I miss?!" She saw us as the Wild Force Rangers, engaging the Gormin and SuGormin.
Cole: "Who are you?"
Lexie: "They didn't tell you about me?!"
Cole: "Um, no."
Lexie: "I'm their newest crew member, Lexie. I am their Navi interpreter/navigator, and I'm in charge of monitoring their fansite! I wanted to get a recording of this fight!" She flipped out her camcorder, and started recording the fight between us and the Gormin.
Cole: "Okay…" I had made the Lion Blaster, and started shooting at some minions attempting to shoot me down.
Ashley: "BOOM!" She wacked a Gormin with her Baton, and John followed up with an axe smash. Jessica fired a blast from her Crystal Saber, and Ken swung the Fighting Fins through his enemies as he flew through them. We regrouped together as Bowser charged at us. I went at him, growing claws out of my gloves, and we rammed into each other, slashing each other trying to knock each other out. After three collisions, I landed a roundhouse kick, sending him flying backwards. I pulled the Red Lion Fang out again.
Kyle: "Bring 'em together!" We brought the baton and the Lion Fang together, then John attached the axe to the top of the baton while Ken attached the Fighting Fins onto both sides of the axe, and Jessica attached the Eagle Sword to the top of that. I grabbed the Baton and the fang holder. Everyone else got behind me to hold me up properly.
Everyone: "JUNGLE SWORD!"
Bowser: "AGH… what is that?!"
Kyle: "The finishing blow! HEEYAH!" I swung it around in a 180 degree turn, then brought the blade down, creating a much larger energy blade projection from it, similar to Susanoomon's Celestial Blade Attack. It landed on Bowser, then severely wounded him, but he was still standing.
Kyle: "Not enough huh?" We separated the weapons as I flipped the belt buckle around.
Kyle: "Animarium Armor, activate!" The Falcon Zord flew out of my belt, then attached itself to my body, making chest armor and wings. The armor turned gold, and there was a glowing red gem in the chest.
Kyle: "Red Savage Warrior! Ready!"
Bowser: "NO!" He jumped at me while I ignited into a phoenix shape, then flew at him, and rammed into him, and tackled through a few buildings. Once I flew upwards, I stopped the attack, and we were both up in the air for a few seconds.
Kyle: "Any last words, Bowser?"
Bowser: "F* you."
Kyle: "As you wish." I reignited, then tackled him into the ground, making him explode. Everyone else caught up with me.
Cole: "Interesting. I never considered doing that before."
Kyle: "It's all a part of the job, Cole." I turned off the Battlizer, then we reverted to our Pirate Forms. *End Wild Force theme*
Lexie tackled John down.
Lexie: "You were so amazing, John! I wish I was more like you, man!"
John: "Thanks, Lex." They both got up right before a purple laser slammed into the ground. Once we looked up, we saw Bowser towering above the city.
Bowser: "Hello, little Rangers!" He raised his foot up, and we dodged it as he brought it down.
Kyle: "Galleon time!" I punched in the GalleonZord code, and it came down, blasting lasers at Bowser to give us room to get inside it.
All of us: "Zords! Combine!" The Galleon Zord ejected the other four Zords, and the combination process occurred.
All of us: "Armada Fleet Megazord, kickin' ass and taking names!"
Cole: "Let's see how this happens, Lexie."
Lexie: "Oh, we got this. Don't worry. These Rangers are the best ones ever!" Ashley and Jessica made the Megazord run at Bowser, only for him to miss when we tried to swipe him with an Armada Saber.
Jessica: "What the crap?!"
Ken: "Where the hell did he go?"
Kyle: "Beats me, guys."
John: "He's… right there!" Bowser struck the Megazord with his amazing speed. As soon as he stopped, I flipped on the shoulder cannons as John and Ken triggered the fist cannons, but they missed, too, as he struck us again, then struck at us multiple times.
Jessica: "Oh for the love of…" She flipped the left leg up, and we tripped Bowser over. We then made the Megazord jump up, and flip itself onto the ground, elbowing Bowser on the drop down. When we went to do more damage to him, however, he kicked us off of him, then jumped up, and slashed us again.
Bowser: "I'm much too fast for your fighting robot, Power Rangers!"
Ashley: "That is it! Listen here you overgrown, Nintendo ripoff chump! I had plans today! But then YOU had to ruin them! And don't even get me-"
John: "What plans did you have?"
Ashley: "I'm having a Megas XLR moment here, don't ruin it!"
John: "Fine."
Ashley: "Right. Now, what was I saying?"
Jessica: "Something about plans?"
Ashley: "Thank you. Anyway, I had plans for a date with my captain, out in New York! But no, your presence HAD to ruin it! We were going to go to OLIVE GARDEN! MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER, AND YOU HAD TO-"
Kyle: "Really?"
Ashley: "HONEY, I'M ON A ROLL HERE!"
Kyle: "Sorry."
Ashley: "ANYWAY… YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFER, BIG TIME! SAY HELLO TO OUR LITTLE FRIEND!" She pulled up her Pink Pirate Key, and the rest of us responded to it, putting the key into the ignition, when three giant SuGormin grabbed the Megazord, holding the compass dial on the back of it.
Ashley: "NO! It's jammed!"
Ken: "That's because the dial's blocked!"
Kyle: "Just great!" he kept turning the key, but only got car revving noises from it.
Cole: "No… Rangers!"
Jessica: "What's up, Cole?"
Cole: "Use the Wild Force Keys! I think Lion Zord will listen to you now!" Our Wild Force Keys glowed as we pulled them out.
Kyle: "I know he will! Guys! Wild Force keys! Now!" Everyone nodded, and we inserted the keys, and turned them forward. The power forced the SuGormin off, and the Wild Zord summoning tune from Wild Force played after the Megazord opened its compartments. The Animarium became visible in the sky as the Red Lion Zord ran out, charging to back us up.
Kyle: "Hey, buddy!"
Lion Zord: "You have called, so I will come!" he roared, then slashed his claws across the SuGormin right next to us. He cleared the path for us to slash up the SuGormin as he ran right up to Bowser, and slashed him.
Bowser: "WHOA!" he toppled over. The Lion Zord looked at us, and roared again.
Kyle: "Now what?"
Lion Zord: "We combine! Initiate the sequence!"
Kyle: "Alright! Lion Zord, Combine!"
Ken, Jessica, John, and Ashley: "What?!"
Kyle: "Just trust me, he knows what he's doing!"
Jessica: "And you do?"
Kyle: "Not really, but I trust him!" I got blueprints from the Lion Zord describing how the sequence worked.
Kyle: "Cool! Do it!" We launched off the TrailerZord and the MarineZord, then the whole upper half of the Megazord attached to the top of the Lion Zord, who remained unchanged.
Kyle: "Armada Wild Megazord! Formation complete!"
Jessica: "What the hell!? We lost the TrailerZord and MarineZord! How's that supposed to be good?!"
Ken: "I guess the sacrifice had to be made this time! Let's just do this!" We made the Megazord run forward. The Lion Zord still seemed to have a mind of his own, though.
Bowser: "Even your Megazord has a beast within?! GRAR! SuGormin! Cycle Mode!" The SuGormin's lower halves became motorcycles as they charged at us. We got the Armada Sabers ready again, and I launched the shoulder cannons off at them, blinding their vision before we sliced them in half, blowing them up.
Ken: "Not much of an improvement, pal!"
John: "Take this!" We launched shots from both fist cannons and the shoulder cannons again. Bowser keeled over at the hits.
Ashley: "Now to END this!" We got the sabers ready.
All of us: "Wild Blast! Go!" The Lion Zord shot a blast from its mouth as we launched shots from the fist and shoulder cannons again. The shots pelted him after he got up, and as we ran up close to him, we slashed him with both sabers. He started sparking.
Bowser: "You're just lucky you saved the right princess!" he then exploded.
Kyle: "Rangers, victory is ours. Yet again." The Lion Zord roared triumpnahtly.
Kyle: "But we sure couldn't have done it without you, Lion Zord."
Lion Zord: "I shall help you any time you need it."
Kyle: "And I wouldn't have it any other way, bro."
Jessica: "Seriously, what the hell is he even saying to you?!"
Kyle: "You mean the rest of you can't understand him?"
Ashley: "I can't."
Ken: "All I get is a roar."
John: "Me, too."
Jessica: "Don't even bother."
Kyle: "Okay… Sorry, Lion Zord. They don't understand you."
Lion Zord: "I do not expect them to."
Kyle: "Oh. Okay, then."
Later… We were in the Animarium, with Shayla and Cole, completely demorphed.
Shayla: "Thank you yet again for saving me. I don't know how we could have stopped that attack without you."
Cole: "I'm also happy to have helped you. I understand there's only 30 Grand Powers left?"
Kyle: "Exactly."
Navi: "Yep. 30. We still have a long way to go."
John: "Don't worry. Nav. We'll get them all sooner than you know it."
Ken: "Oh. Hey, John, let's give them the things."
John: "Got it." He walked up to Shayla and Cole, giving them communicators.
John: "If the Zangyacks attack Turtle Cove or the Animarium again, just let us know."
Cole: "I shall. Knowing what I've seen from you today, there's no doubt in my mind you five can save the universe and reassemble the Morphing Grid." We all smiled.
Ashley: "Of course. As long as my boyfriend's in charge… we're unstoppable."
Jessica: "Oh my GOD! Don't give all the credit to him!"
Lexie: "Of course. After all, without John, you all would be toast."
John: "Um…"
Jessica: "Excuse me, but we need each other. All of us."
Ken: "That's the point of being a team, right?"
Shayla: "You five are free to use the Animarium as you please. It may help you get a better understanding of your Wild Force Powers."
Kyle: "Why thanks. That's awfully generous of you, Your Majesty."
John: "Sure is."
Cole: "I'd better be going back now. I just need to say goodbye to Lion Zord."
Kyle: "He told me he'll miss you. He always has."
Cole: "Good to know. Well, take care of him, Kyle."
Kyle: "I will." Cole walked off into the distance, where the Lion Zord was waiting for him.
Navi: "Another day done, rangers!"
Ashley: "Hey, Princess Shayla, want to join us for dinner?"
Shayla: "I'd be delighted."
The End.
Next time, on Power Rangers Pirate Armada… We decide to stop a shipment of Gigalorium from getting to the Zangyack Mothership. Our mission is to destroy the ship. Can we do it? Find out next time, on Power Rangers Pirate Armada! (Sorry for no Bulk and Spike)
