Power Rangers Tornado
Arrival of the Piranha

"It seems that we still don't know how to find the dinosaur with healing powers," Sean stated.
"I guess we'll have to wait until Nautilus tries to capture it," suggested Cheryl, "Since we can't get the scroll, and our methods of finding dinosaurs aren't that effective."
"They worked once," Darren replied.
"But that was with seven dinosaurs searching for two dinosaurs," replied Louise; "Searching for one solitary dinosaur is harder."
"Well, there's nine dinosaurs on this ship who can unite their telepathic powers," Ted pointed out, "You'd think they'd be able to find another dinosaur."
'There's one problem with that theory,' the Spinosaurus replied, 'There are many dinosaurs who were sealed away, and finding one specific dinosaur isn't easy, since the rocks they're sealed in are blocking their minds and energy signals from us as much as possible.'
"There has to be some way to find that dinosaur," Ted stated.
"We're using every method we know of," Sean replied, "But really, the equipment on the ShuttleBase hasn't been that good either."

Suddenly the alarms went off, and a monitor showed Nautilus attacking.
"We have to stop him," Cheryl stated.
"No, I have to stop him," Ted replied, "I need you to stay here and continue trying to find a way to find the healing dinosaur."

Nautilus was waiting for tornado Red to arrive, but he was shocked when Tornado Red slammed into him on his Tornado Cycle, sending Nautilus flying back.

"At last, we shall finish this battle!" Nautilus shouted as he energised one of his sais and aimed it at Tornado Red. A beam of flame shot from the end of the sai, striking Tornado Red and knocking him to the ground.
Nautilus took this opportunity, and charged, with his sais ready to strike downward. However, as he attempted to strike, Tornado Red blocked both blades with his Tornado Sword, before kicking Nautilus and driving him back. Tornado Red took this opportunity to stand.

"Something gives me the idea that you're not that interested in trying to heal the Spinosaurus; if you were more interested, you would be trying harder!" shouted Nautilus as he slashed Tornado Red.
"Not only am I interested in saving the Spinosaurus, but I remember what has to be done in order to find the location of that dinosaur!" Tornado Red shouted, as he slashed downward with one Dragon Sword. Nautilus blocked it, allowing Tornado Red to slice through Nautilus vertically with his other Dragon Sword. Nautilus then energised his blades and swung them in an 'X' formation, knocking Tornado Red to the ground, dropping his swords.
'Sorry, this seems to be taking too long,' the Plesiosaurus commented as he used his jaws to grab Nautilus and throw him away. Nautilus was getting tired of this, but he managed to teleport away before slamming into anything.

"What happened?" demanded Asdrubael.
"Well, a dinosaur grabbed me and threw me away," stated Nautilus, "It wasn't exactly avoidable."
"I understand," Asdrubael replied, "Well then, that since nothing could have been done to avoid it, that decent is acceptable. Have you found the location of the next dinosaur?"
"Not exactly," stated Nautilus, "When the Rangers were searching for the Cymbospondylus and Basilosaurus, the part of the scroll about the Plesiosaurus was being deciphered. When they freed the Plesiosaurus, the part of the scroll about the dinosaur that can heal people and other dinosaurs started to be decoded. However, now, it is decoding the part about the Cymbospondylus and Basilosaurus, which the Rangers have already freed from the rocks they were sealed away in."
"I understand," stated Asdrubael, "Well then, wouldn't it make sense to try to capture the healing dinosaur?"
"Not exactly," stated Nautilus, "Then the Rangers might interfere and that dinosaur could join them. Instead, I told the Red Ranger that if he could beat me, and mortally wound me, I would give him the information."
"Excellent strategy," stated Nautilus, "There's no way anyone could beat you by themselves. Even though he seems to be a threat at times, the Red Ranger seems to rely on his dinosaurs to save him."
"Exactly," Nautilus stated, "he'll never win by himself. I'll start the next plan now, and decide on the next monster to attack."

"Nautilus seems to attack this city a lot," commented Sean.
"Well, I guess Asdrubael wouldn't be able to control so many planets if he relied on Generals who are weak or lazy." Darren replied.
'Nautilus does attack frequently,' commented the Plesiosaurus, 'Not that it's that difficult to defeat him.'
"Well, I guess it wouldn't be for you!" shouted Cheryl, but then she started laughing.
'At least he's defeated this time,' the Pteranodon commented, before turning to the Plesiosaurus, 'Next time you find it necessary to throw him several hundred feet away, can I come with you?'
'Sure, why not?' the Plesiosaurus replied.

Just then, the alarms went off once again.
"Seems like another attack," stated Sean, "Well I guess that's obvious, but they just seem to be attacking random buildings."
"Maybe there's a dinosaur in that area, and they hope to kill this one instead of trying to make him or her join their side," Louise suggested.
'There is no dinosaur in that area,' the Cymbospondylus replied, 'With nine of us, we would definitely know if there was.'
"Okay, so they're just launching a random attack," stated Sean, "We still have to stop them, or they'll destroy everything on that street!"

"Tornado power, activate!" the Rangers then called, as they morphed.

"Bio-Warriors, attack!" shouted Nautilus, as soon as he saw the Rangers arrive on their Tornado Cycles. The Rangers leapt off their bikes to fight the Bio-Warriors. The Bio-Warriors struck the Rangers with their blades, but the Rangers were used to this and fought off the Bio-Warriors immediately around them, as they knew there was one way to defeat these foot troops fast.

"Tornado Star!" the group called, as they assembled the formation, and fired, blasting several Bio-Warriors apart, while the rest teleported away.
"You must have known the Bio-Warriors wouldn't hold us back that long," stated Tornado Black, "I find it hard to believe you don't have a monster with you this time."

"Well, you won't have to try to believe that!" shouted Cypher, as a piranha-based monster appeared, "This is Piraninja, a piranha monster with ninja techniques and weaponry! You'll never stand a chance against him, Rangers!"

As expected, Cypher attacked Tornado Yellow, Kharn fought Tornado Blue, and Nautilus once again attacked Tornado Red, leaving the remaining Rangers to fight the monster.
Kharn struck Tornado Blue with her lance, but Tornado Blue succeeded in striking back with his own lance at the exact same time! Both of them staggered back, and Tornado Blue drew his Tornado Laser and fired while Kharn sent many fireballs towards him. Kharn and Tornado Blue were both hit by the long-ranger attacks and staggered back.
"This fight will be easy!" shouted Cypher, as he charged and slammed his axe into Tornado Yellow. Cypher again swung his axe, but Tornado Yellow blocked with her sphinx Cutters and slashed Cypher horizontally, and he staggered back. However, as Tornado Yellow advanced, ready to strike again, Cypher launched many electric blasts; some missed, but others hit Tornado Yellow and threw her back.

"You stand no chance against me!" shouted Piraninja, as he threw several shuriken at Tornado Black and Tornado White. Both heroes were hit and fell back, but they knew they couldn't allow the monster to win! Piraninja then charged, slashing the heroes with a sword, driving them back further.
"Gryphon Mortar!" shouted Tornado Black, as his mortar appeared and he fired, but Piraninja easily avoided the blast and slashed Tornado Black twice. Tornado White managed to stop Tornado Black from collapsing, but this gave Piraninja an easy target, and he fired more shuriken at the Rangers, knocking them to the ground. Then Piraninja laughed as he grew.

"This will all end soon!" Nautilus shouted, slashing Tornado Red twice with one sai. Tornado Red fired his Tornado Laser at point blank range, hitting Nautilus, but he kicked the blaster from Tornado Red's hand. Tornado Red then punched Nautilus, forcing him back slightly, but not even close to defeating the General.
"You'll never defeat us," stated Nautilus, again striking Tornado Red with both blades, forcing him back. Nautilus prepared to strike again, when he was distracted by the fact that Piraninja had grown to full size.

'I'm sorry, we really don't have time for this. See, there's a huge monster we have to kill now,' the Plesiosaurus stated as he used his jaws to grab Nautilus and throw him into the air again.
"Not twice in one day!" protested Nautilus, but the Pteranodon then grabbed him, "No! This is even worse!" Nautilus shouted as the Pteranodon then spun in mid-air and dropped him. Nautilus managed to teleport away before he could crash into the ground. The dinosaurs then turned to Piraninja.

"Depth Charge Megazord, unite!" Tornado Red called, and the Styracosaurus, Pteranodon, Cymbospondylus, Basilosaurus and Plesiosaurus fused once more. Again the Rangers appeared in the cockpit, which they were becoming increasingly used to, despite the fact it shouldn't exist.

"You're going to die, Rangers!" shouted Piraninja, as he threw many shuriken at the Depth Charge Megazord, causing increasing damage.
"This one seems harder to defeat than the others," commented Tornado Blue, "We'll still beat him, though."
"Pulse Blast, fire!" Tornado Black called, and both shouted cannons of the Depth Charge Megazord fired, blasting the monster backwards.
"You're going to regret that!" shouted Piraninja. The next time the Depth Charge Megazord fired, the monster easily avoided the blast and slashed the Megazord twice with his sword. The Depth Charge Megazord fell over backwards.

"Now what?" Tornado Yellow asked.
'Well, first we stand back up,' stated the Basilosaurus, as the Depth Charge Megazord's right fist swung forward, knocking Piraninja backwards, and the Depth Charge Megazord used this chance to stand.
"Oh, so you think you can beat me?" asked Piraninja, "Aqua Stealth Slash!" Dark energy encircled Piraninja's blade, and he swung it downwards, slashing the Depth Charge Megazord, who staggered back.

'Okay, I've stayed silent so far, but now it's time!" the Seismosaurus shouted, as he slammed his tail against Piraninja's blade, shattering it.
"What?" asked Piraninja, somewhat shocked, as he fell back, staring at the remains of his sword. Then the Depth Charge Megazord slammed both fists against him, taking advantage of this distraction to defeat the latest threat. Piraninja was thrown back, but wasn't ready to give up.
"Depth Launcher!" shouted the Rangers, and the finisher struck, blasting Piraninja and causing him to explode into pieces.

"Well, that plan failed," Cypher stated.
"Good thing that attack didn't really serve any purpose, so they haven't really damaged our plans." Asdrubael stated.
"Exactly," agreed Nautilus, "However, I still hope to obliterate the Red Ranger for good, before the Spinosaurus dies, because killing him while he still has hope is more interesting. Also, since the powers have some connection to the dinosaurs, the Red Ranger's power might end up keeping the Spinosaurus alive, unless they're destroyed."
