Silver Ranger Rising

Part 1: The New Ranger

While Jack, Clara, and Talon were touring the Zoo the Cooper Gang was observing the animals and talking about Wheeler.

"Sounds like this new Dragon would make a good partner for Maggie." Seth began.

"No kidding." Mira agreed.

"Kira and Tori said that they were gonna upgrade the animals. They should be back by now." Benjamin said.

"Just be patient." Richard replied.

"Okay, but on the bright side the Tigers all seem to like Mira."

"I know." she replied.

Michelle spoke, "Let's go check out the elephants." They agreed and headed for the exhibit.

As they headed for the Elephant Exhibit, they saw something odd.

"What the..." Richard began.

A little girl with short brown hair wearing a red dress was running at full tilt to the elephant exhibit. This was Clara but Richard, Seth, Mira, Benjamin and Michelle didn't know this yet.

"That girl shouldn't get too close to the exhibit." Seth noted.

"I think the elephants are afraid of her." Mira observed.

"If that's the case then we better go do something." Michelle said.

They had no need to do that because a pale skinned kid and a humanoid Crow wearing casual clothes took Clara away.

"Scratch that." Richard corrected.

"Anyway let's go check on the elephants. We might want to calm them down." Mira said. They went to the exhibit.

True to Mira's word the Elephants were frightened especially the one that Fluttershy was tending too, "So how should we do it?

"Play some music and calm them down." Michelle suggested.

"Do it." Richard replied.

So Michelle played a tune on her flute that was very familiar tune that seemed to calm the elephants down. When they saw the elephants feeling at ease they knew they would be fine now.

"Michelle, where did you learn to play the flute that well?" Red inquired.

Michelle was about to answer before the Gosei Morphers rang, "Go."

Celestia's voice came, "Glad you could make it. Tensou and Gosei showed me how to contact you through the Morphers. We've got a disturbance in the Bronx. A pack of X Borgs are terrorizing the people."

"Well, guys. We got a job to do." Seth said.

Russell spoke, "I'm going as well. You'll need my help."

"Then come on." Michelle ordered. Russel nodded as he went with Camille's friends while Camille herself stayed behind.

Over in the Bronx, a block away from the zoo Some X Borgs were already terrorizing the locals and they were being led by Yuffo, "Go, X-Borgs! Go!" The X Borgs were currently attacking till one was shot at by a blaster. Yuffo saw Camille's friends and the Avatar's cousin approach, "Well, well, if it isn't Camille's little friends and the Avatar's cousin Russel. The forces of Darkness warned me about you."

Seth answered, "Then you know you're about to get a painful smack down."

"Wrong. Mindy showed me footage of all your abilities so I know what to expect. X Borgs. Loogies. Get them!" Both sides went into battle.

Russell was holding his own against the X Borgs while the others went after the loogies.

"This ain't so bad." Richard said.

After the first wave of Loogies went down another wave appeared and this time along with Bruisers.

"Round two now." Seth spoke.

"Guys, let's power up." Mira called.

"Right." they agreed.

Russell brought out his Morpher at the same time the Cooper Gang did, "Go go Super Megaforce."

"Go go Megaforce!"

Russel Morphed into the Silver Super Megaforce Ranger while the others morphed into the Megaforce Rangers. The six stood together ready to fight.

"X Borgs. Bruisers, Loogies. Get them!" Yuffo ordered. The six attacked full on. The rangers began kicking ass as they wiped out the wave of minions before going after Yuffo himself. Yuffo got ready as they attacked, "Not bad. But I've been getting stronger and I studied your moves."

"Then study this. Rock Rush!" Benjamin attacked.

Yuffo deflected the attack only for Seth Michelle and Richard to hit him with a combination of Water and Wind attacks, "Clever move."

"That's not all. We've learned some new tricks." Mira said.

"No amount of new tricks can save you." Yuffo answered.

"That's what you think. Let's get him Rangers!" Russel called.

The six attacked again as Yuffo fought back. Yuffo used all the techniques he had at his disposal but the Rangers were overpowering him.

"Let's finish this. Megaforce Blaster!" Richard called.

The Rangers combined their weapons to form the Megaforce Blaster.

"Uh-oh." Yuffo gasped.

"Dynamic Victory Charge. FIRE!" The Rangers fired their attack destroying Yuffo on the spot.

Russel cheered, "Way to go Rangers."

"That's a Mega Win." Seth added.

In the Castle Terminal, Mindy was watching everything with the Forces of Darkness.

"So much for Yuffo." Drago sighed.

"Don't worry this is only half time. Vrak. Send in the Zombats." Mindy ordered.

"On it." Right on cue Vrak snapped his fingers and sent the Zombats to revive Yuffo and enlarge him.

Back in the Bronx the Rangers were celebrating their victory when the Zombats appeared and enlarged Yuffo.

"Here we go again." Michelle sighed.

"Let's call the Zords." Richard suggested.

"Gosei Mechazords Activate." The rangers activated their power cards and summoned the Zords. The Zords arrived and they mounted them.

Yuffo split himself apart and attempted to attack but the Rangers in their zords fought back until Yuffo himself remained. The Rangers then combined their zords to create the Gosei Great Megazord.

"Gosei Great Megazord Ready!"

The Megazord and Yuffo went into battle throwing punches and kicks. The Rangers were gaining the upper hand as the Megazord took flight.

"Let's finish this. Victory Charge." Richard called.

"Yeah!" The Dragon sword caught fire as cards were sent out to stun Yuffo.

"I don't like this card game."

"Mega Strike!" The Megazord struck with the Dragon Sword Destroying Yuffo on the spot. The Megazord stood victorious as the rangers cheered.

"Rangers that's a Mega Win." Richard said.

Later that evening, the Rangers returned to the Zoo where they met up with Red, Kira Tori, Carol Camille, Astral, Aang, and Fluttershy.

"Great work, guys." Camille said.

"With Richard as our leader and us coming together as a team we easily defeated Yuffo." Mira said.

Russell added, "And I didn't even need the Q-Rex Zord."

"Well, you'll get to use it soon." Carol said.

"Carol's right, Russell." Red agreed.

"Anyway let's return to Sodor. We've all got a lot to do tomorrow." Kira suggested. They all agreed and headed out.

Meanwhile at the Hospital, Wheeler was checking in on Dustin's friends. Due to him being a Dragon and having thick scales he was back on his feet but Dustin's friends wouldn't be out of the hospital until later that night.

"You guys okay?" Wheeler asked.

"Oh, fantastic." Jethro answered in sarcasm.

Wheeler knew that Jethro was being sarcastic since he saw a lot of this on the streets, "Hang in there alright. I'm gonna go after Clara and bring her, Talon, and Jack to justice."

"You do that." Elroy replied.

"Somebody needs to tell her mother what's going on." Alice said.

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Alicia inquired.

"Yeah, we can't do anything until we're out of here." Jade reminded her.

Dean spoke, "We can't tell her anything, but Wheeler can go tell her. Then I would advise he go find the rest of his friends and warn them about Clara."

"She does have to be stopped for good." Jethro finished.

"I'll go tell Clara's mother right away." So Wheeler went to Clara's home and when he arrived it was almost nightfall.

Wheeler knocked on the door waiting for an answer. A woman answered having brown hair like Clara's and looked like a responsible parent.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"Yes you can. By answering a few questions."

"Ok."

"First of what's your name cause I can't just call you Clara's mother can I?"

"My name is Ava."

"Okay and where is Clara?"

"She's supposed to be in her room serving her house arrest. But she's been very quiet which is not like her."

"And when did you put her on house arrest?"

"Quite awhile ago after I found out every animal she brought in was being treated in the wrong sense."

"Define the wrong sense."

"She would squeeze the life out of them like strangling, be rough with them, and would abuse them whenever she'd mess something up and blamed them."

"Where did she find all those animals, how bad was she, who told you all this, and how long was she supposed to be on house arrest?"

"She'd always bring them in from off the streets. I never knew where she got the habit from. And she was bad with them. Very bad. I was tipped off by some sources and once confirmed ASPCA took them away, and we had my daughter put on house arrest for a long time."

"Did she escape her house arrest before?"

"Once... Wait a minute. Has she?"

"Before I answer that I need to know this. How did she escape house arrest before?"

"Well, from the note that I got previously she escaped out the window and had help from two older girls."

"Yes, so I've heard. And what happened afterward?"

"When she was brought back I punished her with spankings and extended her house arrest."

"So how long is she on house arrest for now?"

"Until she's bound for college. If she ever makes it."

"And how did Clara take the news? You mentioned she's been quiet as of late which wasn't normal for her."

"She threw several tantrums like the child she is. But now lately she just stays in her room not making a sound. She doesn't talk to me as much either."

"Did you hear about the elephant that she had?"

"Yes. I don't know how I missed her bringing that in."

"Well, I'm sorry to say that the elephant she got was stolen from the zoo."

"Oh, my God."

"Yeah I was shocked as well. Knowing this you gonna give her even harder spankings for stealing too?"

"I will. Forgive me but is there a point to you asking me about all this now?" she asked.

"There is. Clara's escaped again." Wheeler answered.

"What?!" Ava cried.

"I saw her at Ernie's Pizza. She bit Elroy's arm, pulled on Alice's hair, and kicked Dean, Jethro, and Elroy in the balls. If you don't believe me then let's check her room."

Ava ran up the stairs with Wheeler. She unlocked the door to her room and saw no sign of her, "Oh, dear God. Not again."

"Didn't you lock the door and bar all the windows and make Clara a prisoner in her own home?" Wheeler asked.

"Yes. I don't know how this happened." Ava answered.

"You might want to look at this. Security has been disabled."

"Who did this?"

"Three guesses who. Jack Spicer and Prince Talon. The Crow and the Mama's boy that were with her. So if Clara wanted to escape and she hates you. Where would she go?"

"Well she used to spend her summers with her aunt Christina." Ava answered.

"And what does she do?"

"All I know is she works with animals, but she never says how."

"I'll get my friends and we'll bring Clara back. Though some of them are suggesting that she deserves to die 1000 deaths."

"That's still my daughter you're talking about." Ava warned Wheeler.

"Then what do you propose we do? Send her to Reform School?"

"At this point that's about all I can do. I've tried to be patient and fair with her but now my patience has reached it's end." Ava answered.

"It should've been gone a long time ago. Anyway stay here and I'll go find Clara."

"I'm coming with you. It's about time I confront my Daughter and my sister."

"As you wish." So Ava hopped on Wheeler's back as they went to go find Clara.

Speaking of whom, Clara, Talon, and Jack were watching everything via magic Circle as they waited for Zetto's Shadow Liner to come pick them up.

"What is taking so long?" Clara asked impatiently.

"Zetto won't be long now." Talon answered.

"But now that your mother is coming after you what are you gonna do now?" Jack asked the girl.

"I want her to suffer for what she did to me for no reason."

"Very well." Talon answered. Clara smiled knowing she was finally going to get what she wanted.

Right on cue a train whistle was heard and a Shadow Liner appeared only this one was white and produced gold tracks.

"Jack, Clara, behold my Cousin Zetto's Shadow Liner."

"That is so cool." Jack gasped.

"Your cousin has the nicest items Prince Talon." Clara said.

The doors opened and emerging from the liner was a Crow wearing white pants and a shirt with a purple robe.

"Emperor Zetto. Welcome." Talon greeted as he knelt before Zetto as did Clara and Jack.

"You may rise." Zetto answered.

"Cousin Zetto how long has it been since we last saw each other?" Talon asked.

"Far too long, cousin."

Jack spoke up, "I hate to break it to you but we've got problems here."

"Yes I know. Wheeler and Ava. Let me deal with them and you will see why I'm the leader of the Shadow Line."

"Do your thing." Talon answered. Zetto smirked as he prepared to do just that.

Meanwhile Wheeler and Ava had met up with Red, his nieces, Russel, Carol, and the Cooper Gang as they were all brought up to speed on the situation about Clara escaping again.

"You're serious? Clara's escaped again? Ava, didn't you put her on lock down?" Astral asked in disbelief.

"I did, Ms. Astral. She couldn't have disabled it."

Camille spoke, "And how secure was that system? Cause Astral's my dragon partner and I want to ring Clara's neck and beat her to a pulp for what she did to her."

"Remember she's a child. Murder wouldn't be right." Carol said.

"Carol's right, Camille. Murder isn't the answer." Aang agreed.

"Then send her to the strictest Reform School you can think of." Camille said.

"Yes. That's my plan." Ava confirmed.

"And see to it that she's barred from contact with her aunt or anybody period." Astral added.

"Believe me I have plenty to say to her."

"Such as?" Mira asked.

"I'll leave that for when the time comes."

"If you guys are done yapping I can see the brat. She's right below us." Russel said.

Red spoke, "Then let's put her on ice and take her to reform School from there."

"Come on!" Camille called.

The group then flew to the old train station where to their surprise Clara was standing all alone and judging from the look on her face she was madder than ever.

"Mom!" Clara fronwed.

"Clara."

Red spoke to Astral while pointing his staff at Clara, "This is the whelp that captured you?"

Astral felt embarrassed, "Unfortunately."

"Let's pound her already." Lavender said eagerly.

Ruby held her back, "Wait, sis."

Saphira spoke, "Ruby's right. Ava wants to deal with her first and I bet Astral wants first crack at Clara."

Ava began her lecture, "Clara. I'm your mother, and I love you. But you have worked my last nerve. Why do you constantly do these things behind my back? I let you keep various pets you brought home to teach you responsibility, but it appears you were irresponsible with them. I've tried to set a good example for you many times, but it seems I have failed as a mother. Truly you are beyond my help. Where? Where did I go wrong with you?!" she snapped.

Camille smiled, "Way to go, Ava. About time you put that brat daughter in her place!"

Clara snapped, "How could you say that to me, mom?"

Carol answered, "Cause it's the truth you brat!"

As soon as Clara heard that she finally snapped and began to verbally lash out at Ava, "You were a horrible mom! You never understood me or listened to me! You just wanted me to be miserable!"

Astral countered, "You're just a spoiled ungrateful brat."

Carol added, "Your mom loved you, but you're too much of a brat to see that!"

Ava continued, "Clara, as your mother I am forced to do the most unspeakable thing a parent can do to their child. I'm sending you to reform school!"

Talon Jack, and Zetto were hidden out of sight as they were watching the exchange, "When do we move in?" Jack asked.

"We wait for the right moment." Zetto answered.

Talon spoke, "Clara's about to yell and snap at her own mother for sending her to reform school."

Clara did so, "You just want to abandon me! What kind of mother abandons their child?!"

"One who knows what's ultimately best." Ava countered.

Camille snapped her fingers and on cue a small and cramped Cage appeared around Clara trapping her inside, "Hey! Let me out of here!" The cage then began getting smaller as Clara yelled louder, "Hard to move!" The cage stopped getting smaller as it left Clara very cramped and uncomfortable.

Camille spoke, "Serves you right, brat. Let's drop this half pint off at Reform School and get out of here."

Before they could even take the first step a swarm of Combat Kuros surrounded them, "Well, this is rotten timing!" Carol snapped.

Ruby spoke, "That's the last thing you want to say cause we still have Clara right in a cage."

Kira said, "Relax, Ruby. That cage is foolproof. There's no way Clara's getting out of that."

"Come on, let's take them!" Camille called.

The heroes began to do battle with the Combat Kuros but Clara was rooting for the Combat Kuros.

"Get those losers! Kick them in the crotch." Clara ordered.

The Kuros surprisingly attacked the heroes and kicked them between the legs. They groaned, but bared with it. The Kuros continued attacking with everything they had

The heroes fought back and defeated the first wave only for a wave of Shadowkhan from the Ninja tribe to appear and the strange thing was that they surrounded the heroes but didn't attack yet.

"Why aren't they attacking?" Camille wondered.

"Look." Ava pointed and the group saw that the Ninja tribe of Shadowkhan broke ranks to allow Zetto, Jack Spicer, and Prince Talon to enter.

"Hey, losers." Jack greeted.

"Get a life you mama's boy." Carol replied, as Jack frowned.

"You left yourself open for that insult, Jack." Zetto noted. Jack frowned as Wheeler spoke to Zetto.

"Who are you?"

"I am Zetto."

Camille gasped, "Oh, no."

"You know this guy?" Jethro asked.

"Unfortunately. Zetto is leader of the Shadow Line and cousins with Talon Hun, and Oakley. He's seriously bad news."

"Why thank you." Zetto smiled.

"What is it that you want?" Ava asked.

"A chance to join my cousin and others in spreading some destruction."

"And we're also here to free Clara" Talon added.

Jethro spoke, "Forget about this, this brat deserves to be locked away from all civilization and animal kind."

Red added, "As a Dragon Elder I'm so proud of you for that speech."

"Had to be said." Jethro answered.

"Ava, get your daughter and let's get to the reform school fast." Lavender ordered.

"I don't think so." Zetto began to attack the heroes and he did massive damage to them while Talon went to work trying to reverse the spell that kept Clara trapped in the cage

"Get me out of here, I'm getting a cramp!"

Talon spoke, "Calm down, Clara. Zetto is giving Camille a run for her money and attacking her and her group but Camille's magic is very strong. It's gonna take some time for me to free you."

"Well, hurry."

Jack spoke, "I scanned the cage and all we have to do Clara is let Zetto defeat Camille in battle. That will weaken the cage enough for Talon to destroy it."

"You heard the boy genius, cousin. Kick Camille's ass." Talon ordered. So Zetto began to so just that.

"When you said he was tough you weren't kidding, Camille." Alicia noted.

"Told ya!"

"Camille, what do we do?" Alice asked.

"We keep fighting." And so they continued to fight back.

Zetto spoke, "You have strong lights in each of you but now its time to end this. Dark Magic Strike." Zetto swung his sword doing massive damage to the heroes and injuring them heavily. The cage that held Clara began to return to its normal size which was a sign that Zetto defeated Camille in battle.

"Come on, we have to pull it together!" Elroy called.

Lavender agreed, "Elroy is right. We have to do this." They struggled back to their feet. Zetto powered up another dark magic strike.

"Now while he's powering up!" Alicia called.

The team attempted to attack but Zetto was faster and this time he knocked them all out and injured the Dragons heavily while leaving Ava on her feet. That in turn allowed talon to destroy the cage holding Clara.

"There you go, Clara."

"Finally."

Jack spoke, "We still have some Shadowkhan ready. Want talon to get them to give your mom a spanking harder than the ones she gave you?"

"Yes, please." Clara answered.

Talon ordered the Shadowkhan, "You heard Clara. Give Ava a spanking. Harder than the ones you gave the enforcers and the ones Ava gave Clara."

The Shadowkhan grabbed Ava and started spanking her. The woman cried in pain while feeling humiliated.

"Rip Ava's dress off and paddle her bare bottom." Talon ordered. The Shadowkhan started, as the spirit warriors turned away not wanting to see such a sight. Red used his wings to shield his nieces from that sight as Clara was enjoying the sight before her while taunting Ava.

"How do you like that mom?!"

"This is so humiliating!"

"That's exactly how I felt!" Clara called.

"Well, it served you right Clara especially since Lavender Saphira and Ruby were the ones who told me and then I told Ava!" Wheeler mocked.

That was the last straw for Clara and she finally had enough of the insults, "Talon! Make the Shadowkhan drag that 4 legged red dragon and the three young female dragons down to the underworld now!"

"Very well." More shadowkhan appeared and got ready to do just that.

"Wheeler, get Lavender, Saphira, and Ruby out of here right away. I will hold the ninjas off." Red gave his order.

"I'm on it!" Wheeler answered.

"Astral, get Ava and the others to Sodor right away. They will be safer there." Red ordered.

Astral nodded and hurried. Once Wheeler and Astral got the others to safety red then fended off the Shadowkhan before vanishing in a cloud of ice.

Clara threw a tantrum, "No no no! They got away!"

"Oh, don't complain you've already got enough animals on the list." Talon replied.

"You're right. Let's go get them." Clara said. So the four left to go get the animals that Clara wanted thinking nothing could stop them.
