Super HERO TIME!!!
Hee, Stuff hits fan this chapter.
With Sugimori still mending, Can he defeat the monster who destroyed his morpher and the morale of his team?
Task 21: Part one: Take Flight
4 days later
Sugimori sat at the table, slowly eating a sandwich as he watched the news.
"This was the scene in Las Vegas, one week ago, as an immense explosion tore through the town, killing almost everyone, in the city at the time," the reporter said, "The President of the united states is meeting with world leaders today, as a monster calling himself Salinus has declared war on this planet."
"He's trying to get me into another fight," Sugimori said, "The bastard knows i'm weakened."
"He did a number on us all," Fran said, "Those psychotics were stronger than Drenacouloshan's."
"Kev," Dora said, slurping down some orange juice before continuing, "I checked what records the Black Knights have on Salinus..."
"Any way I can beat him?" Sugimori asked.
"Salinus has already destroyed 200 systems in this plane alone, Kev," Dora said, "He's not as powerful as Emrass, but he's powerful enough that... if my calculations are correct, not even a combination of the Tankers and the Spirit Zords would be powerful enough to defeat him."
"So we just wait for him to destroy us?" Sugimori asked, "Have the power rangers gotten so weak that we can't even protect our planet in its time of need?"
The gathered rangers gasped at what sugimori was saying.
"I won't have it," Sugimori said, slamming his fist down, "It's bad enough that he almost took me out of the game for good. But he's killed so many people.... and he's wanting to kill over 6 billion on this one. He CAN'T be allowed to do that."
Sugimori stood up and stormed up to his room, slamming the door behind him.
"I'm heading back to the tech room," Dora said, "if Kira's correct, we should be able to hold out for a little while before we totally get annihilated."
"Maybe kev's right," Lily said, "We're sitting here like we've just been stripped of our powers... We should try to stop the Salinus dude."
As the Klaxons blared, they heard sugimori run to the monitors, blurt out a string of expletives, run bak into his room, and grab something while knocking some breakables down. As sugimori sped out the door faster than he ever had, Dora just grimaced.
"Come back safe," Dora said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori ran as fast as he could, the buckle like device on the back of his belt flopping along as he ran towards the forest of Briar Vale, which was now on fire because of Salinus and his henchmen.
As sugimori made it to the outskirts of the forest, Sugimori's eyes widened as Kaiyala, the leader of Syleria's warriors, fell under the claws of Salinus himself, her skull deflating as the monster crushed it like styrofoam.
"NO!" Sugimori said, ramming into the first henchman he saw, crumbling it into dust as he sped through five more, "DAMN YOU SALINUS!"
"Ah, the wingless phoenix!" Salinus said, dropping the lifeless, and headless corpse of woman and turning towards the former phoenix ranger, "Come to further your demise?"
"Not likely!" Sugimori said, bringing the buckle in front of him, "Sentinel Morpher!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The rangers looked on back at JKP over the monitors as Sugimori raised the morpher, stylized after the original MMPR morphers, into the air.
"That's Suicide!" Kira said, "There's no Coin in there! He'll be using his lifeforce to supply the energy for the morph!"
"Kira, Let's finish the device, double time," RJ said, "Rangers, Go to the Briarvale forest and clear out the survivors, We'll make it when we can."
"OK!" The rangers said in unison.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"OverDrive, ACCELERATE!!" Sugimori said, Feeding his own energy into the transformation into the sentinel ranger.
"Hmmm, I'll just destroy this power of yours too," Salinus said.
"The Roaring Adventurer! Sentinel Ranger!!" Sugimori said, "Sentinel Buster!"
As sugimori and Salinus met in battle, Psychotics began falling left and right as the other Jungle Fury rangers, Minus Kira and RJ, stormed in, looking for survivors.
"You will die, Sugimori!" Salinus said, knocking sugimori back, only to be cut in the chest.
"Maybe, but i'll take you with me!" Sugimori said, Running forward, only to double over in pain as his morph forcefully left him.
"Doesn't Look like it," Salinus said, blasting sugimori with negative energy, "Any last words?" The monster said, an evil grin on his face.
"How about get the hell away from him?" Kadahj said, the rangers helping sugimori up, "Oh, don't try calling on your lackeys... they kinda got killed."
"You...."
"With the strength of a tiger, Jungle Fury Red Ranger!"
"With the Speed of the Cheetah, Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger!"
"With the Stealth of the Jaguar, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger!"
"With the Heart of the Fox, Jungle Fury Gold Ranger!"
"With the Rage of the Mandril, Jungle Fury Silver Ranger!"
"We Fight with the Spirit of the Beasts!" The Five said in unison, "Power Rangers! Jungle Fury!"
"Hee," Sugimori said, standing under his own power, "I guess it's time the tables turned a bit. SERENITY!"
Salinus' eyes bulged when he saw sugimori holding Serenity.
"Whaaat!!!" Salinus said, "That Sword!"
"East Arcadian Broadsword Style! Thunderblade Charge!" Sugimori said, Running at the Psychotic.
"Hyper Chucks! GekiBarrage!"
"Hyper Bo! Earthquake Swipe!"
"Hyper Tonfa! High Voltage!"
"Hyper Sweeper! Snakebite!"
"Jungle Spear! Needlepoint Salvo!"
Salinus cringed as each of the attacks hit him, not hurting him too badly, but making him regret running in foolishly. But it couldn't be helped.
As the area exploded, the rangers relaxed, only to hear the monster laughing.
"You did exemplary, this far at least.... However!" The Psychotic said, using dark magic to raise the morphed rangers into the air and throw them back down, demorphing and knocking them all unconscious, "I have been granted power by Drenacouloshan... I will not fail!"
"That has yet to be seen," a morphed Kira said, tossing a case to sugimori, "A present!"
Sugimori opened the case and found what looked to be a crimson flight stick with a stylized version of the PaiZhua logo, surrounded by a circle that had two wing like designs on either side, like a pilot's pin. Beside the flight stick was a black chip like thing with the same logo on it, and another chip with the shape of a phoenix.
"The one with the logo is the Morph soul, and the other chip is called the Phoenix Soul, and goes with another nice item, but first, morph."
"Die!" Salinus said, Firing a bold of energy at Sugimori, Kira, and a morphed RJ.
"Morph Soul Set!" Sugimori said, inserting the chip into the device, "Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!"
As sugimori felt the morph take hold, he raised his hands into the air, where his helmet materialized, "Helmet On!"
When the smoke dissapeared, A being who looked similar to the phoenix ranger stood in the place of sugimori. However, the Helmet now had the windshield of a Harrier jet as the visor, with what looked to be a beak at the top of the visor glass. The Suit had undergone changes as well. Instead of looking like one of the original suits, this one was more metallic in look, with wing like protrusions on the wrist parts of the gloves. Over the chest was a flight harness, with the same logo as the one on the belt and on the morph soul, albeit covering part of the chest.
As Sugimori looked at his new morphed form, he instinctively touched the belt, summoning a dagger to his hand.
"That's the Proto Dagger," Kira said, "It can combine with the Protomorpher you used to morph, but for now, I think you know what to do!"
Sugimori twisted the knob on the dagger to the powered on setting, and flicked the switch numbered 1.
"Mission One!" Sugimori said, "Burning Dagger!"
As the Flaming dagger hit the powerful Psychotic, Sugimori jumped back, switching the 1 switch back to its original spot and hitting the 2 switch.
"Mission 2, Freezing Dagger!"
As Salinus winced, Sugimori jumped into the air, flicking all 3 switches to the on position.
"It's Show time!" Sugimori Said, "Mission Six! Jet Dagger!"
Salinus looked on as Sugimori took flight, heading straight towards him.
As RJ and Kira looked on, Sugimori slammed into Salinus, causing massive damage to the monster.
"You will regret doing that," Salinus said, clambering up.
"They all say that," Sugimori said, pulling out his ProtoMorpher.
"Attention!" The newly repowered ranger said, "ProtoBooster! Phoenix Soul Set!"
"Target Acquired," a woman's voice said.
"Proto Booster, Boost UP!" Sugimori said.
"Three," A voice said, "Two, One!"
"FIRE!" Sugimori said, Firing the weapon into Salinus, knocking the monster down.
"I guess it's time," Salinus said, summoning a massive army of Psychotics as the rangers regained consciousness, before becoming giant himself.
"Make my.. ahem.. grow," Sugimori said, "So, how do I zord?"
Kira pulled the now shrunk Phoenix Harrier out of the case and pressed a button on the top, causing a section of the body of the plane portion to raise, "Soul goes in there."
"Alright!" Sugimori said, "I'm counting on you, Phoenix Harrier. Phoenix Soul, Set!"
"Aye," the Zord said as it awakened and started to grow.
As sugimori entered the Cockpit of his zord, he placed the Protomorpher where the obvious place for it was.
"Phoenix ranger, on board!"
"I guess I should unveil my zord," Kira said, "Tartarus, Lord of the Skies, Descend!"
As she said this, a large, Red Dragon based zord descended, taking its place flying next to the Phoenix Zord.
"Kev, It's time for Extreme Fusion."
"Combo of my Zord and yours?"
"And for one time only, RJ's!" Kira said, "Let's Do this, Extreme Fusion!"
"Or, as Japanese would say it, EXTREME GATTAI!" Sugimori said.
As Tartarus became legs and the lower torso, The Phoenix Harrier became the back, chest, arms, and the head. The helmet of the Phoenix Harrier landed on top of the head of the new zord, and a tri horned helmet attached to that.
"Tartarus Phoenix Megazord!" Sugimori and Kira said, "Extreme Armament!"
With that, The Wolf Spirit Zord combined, becoming the new left arm of the zord.
"Tartarus Phoenix Megazord with Wolf Power!" The three rangers said.
"Nice machine," Salinus said, "But People are dying, you shouldn't fight me!"
"Guys!" Naomi said over the comlink, "All the worlds armies are fighting the psychotics, and we're sending some help, Take care of spunky!"
"Let's do this," Sugimori said, "Full Throttle Cannonball!"
With that, the zord flew up into the air, launching itself at the monster.
As the monster began to recover, the three rangers began their finisher.
"The Last Corner is mine!" The rangers said in unison, "Sonic Firestorm!"
The mouth of the phoenix zord, which made up the chest, opened up, forming an arrow of fire. The Wolf zord's blade became like a bow, with the other arm drawing the "string".
"Fire!"
As the Arrow peirced the monster, Salinus cried out. As the arrow dissipated, He looked down, his body sparking as the energy started tearing him apart.
"You... You May HaVe WoN thE Battle... But EmRass Will... Win... the … WAAAAR!!" Salinus said, Exploding in a firestorm.
"Tartarus Phoenix Megazord, Touching Down!"
With that, the psychotics teleported away, their commander defeated.
Sugimori jumped down, taking off his helmet.
"Thank you guys," Sugimori said, "Without your help, I would have prolly succeeded in my suicide plan."
"We can't have that, can we?" Naomi said over the comms, "However, Not all the Psychotics got the message. Japan's under massive attack, also, half of Washington's in shambles."
"Well, that sucks, I like Obama too," Sugimori said, "Anyplace else?"
"Ok, this is bad," Dora said over the intercom, "Drenacouloshan's forcing our hands, "All seven continents are under attack."
"Call Tommy and have him activate Contingency plan GP." Sugimori said, "Joe, Tommy, and I have had this ready just in case... Prepare to see a lot of megazord signatures."
Part 2: The Battle for Earth.
As Psychotics began pouring into Angel Grove, the ground shook as Five bipedal zords stormed forward, going straight after the Renshi Beast that was heading the invasion.
"Let's Do This!" Rocky said, Billy, Kim, Aisha, and Adam all morphed and beside him, "The Space rangers are helping out on the ground, But i'm still worried."
"Valkasaurus Megazord to All other ranger teams. Renshi Beast in Reefside Destroyed, Switching to ground Operations!"
"Confirmed, Dino Thunder," Sugimori's voice said over the intercom, "Primal Tanker Megazord Defending against Renshi Beasts 220 and 249, Tartarus Phoenix Megazord Has engaged at Silver Hills."
"There's a lot of megazords, but there's too many beasts!" Tommy's voice said.
"I'm sending in All the Overdrive megazords!" Andrew Hartford's voice said.
"Naomi!" Sugimori said as the megazord tangled with what looked to be a hydra beast, " Do a bombing Run!"
"Bringing in Valkyrie for a bombing run!" Naomi's voice said, the Raptor Class Fighter swooping in and blasting the Renshi to kingdom come, "Jungle fury, how you Doing?"
"Ocean Bluff Secure!" RJ said, "But Dora's got reports that an even bigger monster is appearing... Oh my god! It... It's.... Huge!"
"All Available megazords, Double Time to Ocean Bluff!" Sugimori said after squashing the final Psychotic in the area, "JF, The Cavalry is on its way!!!!"
As the Tartarus Phoenix megazord made it to the area, Sugimori's eyes became huge.
"No.. It can't be!"
"He's like a troublesome bug," Kira said, "Kev, Dodge!"
The new monster launched a blast that busted up the formation and sent sugimori and his now small zord to the ground.
"Hmm, Salinus is still alive," Kira said, "Kev, take a rest and then get back in morph form!"
"Ok," Sugimori said, giving his zord a chance to rest before getting back to business, "ETA for the other zords that heeded the call?"
"2 minutes, "Kira said, "Remember, Your zord can only stay active for 20 minutes... Unfortunately, when I made it like that, that flaw decided to rear its ugly head.
"Ok," Sugimori said, "Back to Action!"
"You will not win!" Salinus said, "I am the ultimate evil! Salinus Omnis!"
"Guys," Kira said, "It's time, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, silver, Violet, and Maroon, and the main five Tankers.... It's time for the Mach 12 Formation!"
"Mach 12 Formation?" RJ said, "12 Zords?!"
"Yes," Kira said, "Let's do this!"
As the rangers called upon the five Jungle tankers, Tartarus became the torso, and part of the legs. From there, The Cheetah and Jaguar Zords became lower legs, with the Cheetah and Jaguar Tankers attaching to them and becoming armor for the legs and becoming feet. The Tiger Zord docked upon Tartarus, with the wolf and Tiger tankers becoming cannon like shoulder weapons. The Mandril Tanker became torso armor, and a the cab opened, allowing a helmet to disengage and go into the air. The wolf and Fox zords became the arms. Finally, The Mandrill Zord became back armor, its sharp arms folding over the helmet that locked in place over the tiger zord's humanoid mode's head.
"Jungle Pride Megazord, Mach 12 Formation! Tune UP!"
Sugimori looked at the zord and grinned as the phoenix harrier finished transforming to warrior mode.
"Nice zord!" Tommy said as the Valkasaurus Megazord made it on the scene, followed by the Shogun megazord, Mega Voyager, and Titan Megazord.
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are," Salinus said, "I will kill you all!!!"
"The Ancient King of Bushido! Shogun Megazord!"
"Soaring through Space at Mach speed, The king of space!, Mega Voyager!"
"Roaring through the Ages, The Dinosaur King! Valkasaurus Megazord!"
"The King of Magic! Titan Megazord!"
"The Dutiful Mach Speed Warrior, Engine Phoenix Harrier, Warrior Mode!"
"The Ultimate King of the Jungle! Jungle Pride Mach 12!"
"Standing Steadfast against Evil!"
"We Are... POWER RANGERS, ALL STARS!"
Ripping off Japan for 16 years, Power Rangers, ALL stars! More like it!!! Sugimori thought to himself, "Let's do this!"
Salinus backed up a moment before sneering.
Dai Shi and Camille looked on as Tiamat worked on something, "Drenacouloshan has been hiding something."
"Yeah," Tiamat said, "That's why you need to go help the rangers."
"Why" Dai Shi said.
"If Salinus has his way, with his current power, he'll destroy everything... even you, even Camille, even me. Go help Sugimori."
"What if Drenacouloshan finds out?"
"I'll take care of him," Tiamat said, "Be careful."
Dai Shi looked at Camille, who nodded, "Let's go."
As the megazords fought Salinus, he grinned, blasting each megazord down with one hit each.
"Aw, come on!" Sugimori said, "That the best you can do?"
"Cheeky!" Salinus said, grabbing Sugimori's zord with massive force.
"Die!"
"Uh, No." Sugimori said, making the zord nail the massive monster in the netherregions.
"Gh!" Salinus said, "You will pay!"
As salinus began to strike, the massive Lion Zord Slammed into him, knocking him down as the Chameleon zord struck as well.
"What the?" Sugimori asked.
"Sugimori," Dai Shi said, "Salinus can be beaten, but it will take more than just your animal spirits.... allow Camille and I to combine with your zord."
Sugimori looked to the other megazords, who nodded, "Let's do this."
The Lion Zord became the new torso and legs for the Megazord, the harrier zord now becoming wings and the back to the new Megazord, the Chameleon combining to become the new left arm.
"The King of Light and Darkness! Firestorm Megazord!"
"How Dare you, Dai Shi!"
"You can't be allowed to destroy this planet," Dai Shi said, nodding to sugimori.
"Oh, how I wish this could be a permanent thing," Sugimori said, chuckling under his helmet, "Chameleon Yo-YO!"
The Chameleon Zord latched onto Salinus flinging him around before slamming him to the ground.
"Hmm, Two minute left for fighting," Sugimori said, "Guys! Let's finish this!"
The zords nodded to each other before everyone said in unison "The Final Blow!!!!"
As each megazord went through its signature finisher, Salinus grimaced.
"Jungle Pride Mach 12! Mach Barrage!"
"Firestorm Megazord, Oblivion Slash!"
As the final attack hit salinus, he felt the energy around him coarse the energy only a sealing spell could do.
"Salinus!" Sugimori said, an aura of Crimson surrounding him, "I banish you to the realm of Souls, where you will be tormented by those you have killed!"
The Firestorm Megazord flew up into the air, hefting its massive sword before slamming down, obliterating the Psychotic Warrior for good!
"Mission Complete!"
"Firestorm Megazord, Touch Down!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tiamat grimaced as she ran for her life, her body sore, cuts still fresh from Drenacouloshan finding out her betrayal.
As she hid out in a cave, she shivered in fear.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at JKP.
"Man, I wish those two who helped us would have stayed," Rocky said, still a pig after all these years.
"Somehow I doubt that Dai Shi would have wanted pizza," Sugimori said, Annika and Syd sitting with Kim and the other Mighty Morphins.
"Man," Tommy said, "That was wicked... a 12 piece fusion... Even back in the day, I don't even think Zordon even thought that it would ever be possible."
Kira walked out of the back room, a box in her hand, "Here kev, Since you've kinda got a new suit, I thought you'd like an updated jacket.
As sugimori opened the box, he grinned as he saw the crimson bomber style jacket, with a patch with the Pai Zhua/pilot logo on the right side and a patch with his name and Phoenix Harrier on it in Japanese. On the back was the onomatopoeia of the sound that his zord made when not bugging him with advice, "Kiiiiiiun!!"
"Looks like the little bro finally has a jacket to go with the fact that he always has his head in the sky!" Rose said, "Man... when we went through the portal, I thought we'd gotten separated, but Mack and the others recognized me when we got back... it was weird though."
"Yeah," Mack said, "We remembered everything, but It was like things were done so we could keep our memories."
"I don't care really," Ronny said, "Zel's taking care of little Katrina."
Sugimori grinned, "Man, All these rangers in one place..."
"You're telling me," Dickson said, walking into the restaurant, "You wouldn't believe the look on Khiro's face when he saw that you guys offed Salinus... Congratulations guys."
"Ah," Sugimori said, "It was everyone's doing. "
The rangers looked to sugimori, who just grinned, "Without all of you, we wouldn't be here right now. I'm just glad that we were able to beat Salinus."
"We all are, bro," Tommy said, "But don't discount yourself. It takes a brave man to use his own energy to morph without an energy source in his morpher. That or a stupid man... but we all know you ain't stupid."
"A little bit suicidal," Dickson said, "But who would blame you? Really, you have me for a friend, and you happen to be somewhat romantically involved with my sister... Which, by the by, i'm still not proud about."
Kira stood up and put her hand on sugimori's shoulder, "Eh, Sparky's got a lot of things going against him, but he's got us."
"Eh," Sugimori said, "The way I see it, We're all in this together... But I do admit, I do wish I had my own 12 part fusion."
"Maybe someday the Zord fairies will grant your request," Kadahj said, before getting a thwack by Sugimori, "What? You never know!"
The rangers laughed.
"Come on, Kadahj," Kira said, tugging on the silver ranger's arm, "Since Sparky's back to normal, you owe me that date."
Sugimori grinned.
"Take care of her, Dahj," Sugimori said, "I'd hate to have to kill you."
Kadahj nodded, and walked out of JKP.
However, as the rangers relaxed, Drenacouloshan was brewing something most heinous.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Special Seminar!

Wow, Lots of kudos.
