Jason and Tori

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

"Almost there," groaned Jason as he yanked on the final piece of the skintight outfit. "Oh, yes!" he exclaimed as he pulled the helmet over his head. Sure, it had been over forty years but he was determined to relive his glory days...well glory day to be exact. Jason jumped into the ocean and proceeded to search for any sign of a submarine or any ship that would capture him and feed him to a volcanic monster. He missed the power he had as Maligore's vessel. With it he had been able to give that Zord-crushing rainbow-colored Tommy the pounding he deserved. Best of all, no one blamed him even though he had actually come to his senses five minutes into the fight on Muranthias.

Tori marched determinedly down the beach with her surfboard slung over her shoulder. How dare Blake tell her she was too old to surf! She'd show jerk. Just because he had turned his motorbike in for one of those power chairs, didn't mean she was elderly as well. She was going to hit the waves. After all, it had only been about forty years or so since she last surfed.

Tori put her toes in the water. Then her watch alarm went off. She grumbled as she took her fiber supplement and arthritis meds. She then placed the board on the water and laid flat on it. She paddled over to the waves.

Jason was so focused on getting recaptured that he didn't watch where he was snorkeling. He looked up and saw a longish shape above him. "Finally!" he cried as he popped out of the water. "Are you here to throw me into a pit and make me stronger with a diabolical spell?"

"Aaaahhh!" screamed Tori as she was knocked off her board. "A sea monster!" A large wave knocked them both to shore.

"Ninja Storm Ranger Form!" shouted Tori. "Die, you evil sea creature!" she cried as she blasted at the strange rubber suited being with her sonic fin.

"Hey!" shouted Jason as he finally yanked his head out of the sand. "Will you cut that out? I'm not a monster." He yanked off his scuba helmet.

"Whoops," said Tori, "sorry about that." She demorphed. "It's just that you look like a manatee stuffed inside that outfit like that. How'd you squeeze into it anyway?"

Jason sighed. Not another one. Just because he had gotten a bit lax about his workouts and Emily had inherited that bakery, everyone kept making stupid comments like that. Billy and Zack had even given him a trophy for out-bulking Bulk.

Tori frowned as she examined her surfboard. "I had to give up six months of Bingo money to buy this. If I find any cracks in it you're going to pay."

"For what? Keeping an old lady from breaking her hip on that thing?" asked Jason sarcastically.

"No, for snorkeling where people surf. Since when do people do that in Blue Bay Harbor?"

"Since they banned it in Angel Grove in order to devote the whole area to the Shrine of the Dragonzord of the Great Green Ranger," replied Jason in disgust. "What about my poor Red Dragon? Why doesn't he ever get worshipped? At least he never tried to destroy the abandoned warehouse district."

"What kind of insane city has a district just for abandoned buildings?" asked Tori.

"The same kind that has empty rock quarries that no one uses," retorted Jason.

"Well, there doesn't seem to be any damage," mumbled Tori. "I guess I can let it go this time. But the next time you decide to play Aquaman, please do so far away from here." She grabbed her board and headed back towards the water.

"That was a Ranger outfit!" cried Jason as something finally clicked in his mind. "You're the Blue Ninja Storm Ranger!" A look of confusion came over his face. "Wait, Adam told me the Sentinel Knight took your powers back after you helped the Overdrive Rangers."

"I got him to let me keep mine. I just had to do a little favor for him." Tori grinned. "He may be all metal but he's still fully functioning." Little did she know a certain redhead had figured out how to make an awesome robot knight costume that would allow him to score with hot chicks. Tori looked back at Jason. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some surfing to get back to."

"I've got a better idea," said Jason. He held his old morpher in front if his chest. "It's Morphing Time!" Zzzzzaaaaapppp! "Ow!" he cried as he dropped the sparking dinosaur morpher on the sand.

"Hey! They don't allow bonfires on the beach," stated Tori. She raised her hands and swished a wave of water over the burning morpher.

"It's not fair!" whined Jason as he stared at his ruined morpher. "Why was Adam able to use his morpher again? Why were you guys invited to help those Overdrive Rangers but not me?" He stepped in and grabbed Tori by the arm. "Didn't that stupid knight realize he was leaving out the best fighter the Rangers ever had?"

"Well, yeah," replied Tori. "But I heard from Kira that Dr. O. had his hands full with that polygamy case. You'd think he'd know better than to try to marry Kim, Kat, Aisha, and Cassie at the same time."

Jason scowled. "I'll show them all who's a great hero. They'll put up a statue of me up in the park."

"They already have statues of the original Rangers in Angel Grove," said Tori. "How egotistical are you guys going to get?"

"Can I help it if we were better than all the other teams combined?" asked Jason.

"Better my ass!" retorted Tori. "I know all about how you let citizens ride in the Zords and pose for pictures with you guys morphed without your helmets. I don't know how your mentor never caught on."

Jason smiled at this. "A nice head massage can be very distracting."

"Especially when it came from Kim," boomed Zordon as his head suddenly appeared. "But, that darn Kat kept forgetting to retract her claws. I always wondered why you all had developed a sudden fetish for my bald head."

Tori backed up with a gasp. "I thought having a rodent as a sensei was weird. No one told me your mentor was a decapitated head."

"Zordon!" cried Jason. "How are you? You're looking good for a rotting head corpse."

"Flattery will get you nowhere," replied Zordon. "You all broke the rule about using your powers for personal gain."

"Big deal," said Jason with a yawn. "I already lost my powers. What else can you do to me?"

"This," replied Zordon. He zapped Jason with his eyes.

"Ayyyyiiiiiiiii," screamed Jason. He gasped as Zordon pulled a mirror out of thin air. "Aw, come on, Zordon!" he whined.

"You're going to wear that for the next month," said Zordon with a chuckle as he disappeared.

Tori stared at Jason as he tried to scratch off the 'Tommy is the Best Ranger Ever' tattoo Zordon had burned onto his forehead. Then she shrugged and picked up her board to head back into the ocean.

"Not so fast," came another, but more familiar voice.

"Sensei," Tori exclaimed as a floating hamster ghost appeared before her. She had been surprised when he had decided that he missed running in his hamster wheel and had begged his son to find a way to turn him back. She had been even more shocked when Dustin had decided to practice his freestyle skills inside of Ninja Ops and had landed his bike directly on the hamster cage. But then again, the Yellow Ninja Storm Ranger had been pretty pissed about Sensei setti1ng Marah up with Cyber Cam on a blind date.

"You morphed with no monster present," said the rodent ghost.

"But I thought he was…'

"And I heard all about how you managed to keep those powers."

"Who told you?"

"Looks like I'll have to punish you as…." Whaaaaaaaaappppp!

"Sorry, Sensei," apologized Tori as she scraped the flattened hamster ghost off her surfboard. "But, I still have some surfing to do." With that, she headed into the waves. Little did she know, the angry ghost of a hamster ghost floated after her. Zaaaaaaaaappppp!

The other members of the Blue Bay Senior Center spent a month laughing at Tori who had her surfboard melded to her butt.

AN: This is the first story I did on my new android. It really helped with my writer's block. But I still had to edit it on my laptop to get the spelling and punctuation right. I hope this story came out okay.
