Hello everyone, I am deeply sorry at how long it has taken me to get this done. Hopefully it's worth for some of you. I've been dealing with family issues and have recently started a YouTube channel called Gokai Doctor where I react to Kamen Rider and Super Sentai! I hope you guys can understand and enjoy! By the way, this chapter was changed dramatically from the summary in the last chapter. I think it changed for the better.


Power Rangers Zeo #8 Cloudy with a Chance for Love

"Alright guys, Ze-oh!" Jayce commands as we all get ready to Morph.

"Zeo Ranger 1, Pink!"

"Zeo Ranger 2, Yellow!"

"Zeo Ranger 3, Blue!"

"Zeo Ranger 4, Green!"

"Zeo Ranger 5, Black!"

"Zeo Ranger 6, Red!"

"Your fiendish plan to turn squirrels into monsters is over!" Madison declares as we jump into action with Jayce leading the charge. Jayce and Madison kick the robot away from us while we deal with the Cogs. I grab my sidearm blasting a couple in the chest before getting sliced by one of the Cogs. Brandon realizing that I'm in trouble runs over and tackles the Cog to the ground.

"Connor, let's use that technique we've been talking about." Britt remarks to me to which I nod in agreement.

"Zeo Power Disc!"

"Zeo Power Blaster!"

"Everyone get down!" I shout before blasting Britt's disc bouncing the beam of energy off it and into the Cogs destroying them.

"Nice one guys!" Josiah exclaims excitedly standing back up.

"Only one last guy to worry about." Brandon retorts as we all line up with the monster in our sights.

"Can we talk about this?" The monster asks fearfully.

"No. Zeo Megaweapon, Activate!" Jayce commands as everyone else summons their weapons and combine them together. "Fire!"

A massive blast of energy is then shot out of the Megaweapon destroying the monster completely.

"Booya! That's another one down!" I shout excited.

Meanwhile…

"Sire, would you like me to send down a mech?" Orbus asks politely, but is brushed away by the in-thought King.

"Why bother? They'll just call out their Megazord and destroy another precious resource. No, I think it's time we start leveling the playing field." King Mondo remarks methodically as he stands up from the thrown.

"What do you mean Father?" Prince Sprocket asks curiously.

"It is time to give a visit to Rita and Zed's old tech. We need to figure out how to grow our machines!" King Mondo explains excitedly as he begins laughing evilly.

Meanwhile…

"I guess it's back to England for us. Have a good day at school guys!" Madison remarks as her and Brandon both teleport back to the Power Chamber.

"That's right we have school today." Josiah remarks walking off.

"What's so weird about that?" Jayce asks curiously chuckling to himself a bit.

"Nothing, it's just we keep doing all this Power Ranger stuff and it's a wonder we're still in school is all." Josiah comments as both him and Jayce teleport towards the school.

"Are you alright Connor?" Britt asks me noticing I had frozen at the talk of school.

"Yeah, it's just a bunch of new students are coming today and it feels weird." I remark slightly lying.

"C'mon, we'll have fun with the new people." Britt assures me teleporting away as well.

"In all truth, today is my Dad's birthday and I just can't help but feel bad that we're not all that close." I say to myself to aloud before also teleporting as well.

Meanwhile…

"Madison, Brandon, I need to talk to both of you for a second." Zordon interrupts just as Madison and Brandon had started talking.

"Yes Zordon?" Brandon asks with a sigh in his tone.

"I wanted to ask if you noticed anything strange about Jayce and Britt?" Zordon asks curiously realizing something might be up.

"Nothing unusual, but they have been talking a lot. More than usual anyways." Madison remarks now curious as well when suddenly a message appears on the monitors.

"Power Rangers! You said to message if anything happened with Rita and Lord Zed's wreckage. We're under attack and we think they're here for some of their tech!" A man shouts on the other side of the message.

"Rangers, it is imperative that you stop the Machine Empire from getting their hands on the tech that Rita had." Zordon explains to Madison and Brandon who nod.

"Ze-oh!" Madison commands as her and Brandon both prepare to Morph.

"Zeo Ranger 2, Yellow!"

"Zeo Ranger 3, Blue!"

"The other Rangers will be with you shortly." Zordon tells them as they both teleport to the military base where the wreckage is kept.

Meanwhile…

"Connor, you know if you like her you can just go ask her out." Jayce whispers to me noticing that I've been looking at one of the new students frequently.

"Don't be an idiot Jayce, I don't even know her name." I remark when suddenly our Morphers start beeping loudly. "Yes, Zordon?"

"The Machine Empire are attacking a military outpost. Brandon and Madison need your help!" Zordon explains to me and Jayce. However, as soon as we get up to leave the school a lightning strike lights up the sky followed by a storm.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Britt asks running up to us.

"That this storm is a bit too coincidental?" I ask to which she nods.

"Connor, I'm trusting you with a lot here. Josiah, Britt and I are gonna go help Madison and Brandon. I need you stop this storm." Jayce explains to me to which I nod in agreement.

"Your trust is well placed. I won't let you down Jayce." I assure as he and Britt run off to find Josiah.

Meanwhile…

"We got to hold here. They cannot get past here!" A military general shouts as he and his men all start unloading on the Cogs and monsters.

"Zeo Power Clubs!"

"Zeo Power Dagger!"

"General, our friends are nearly here." Brandon tells him excitedly as the gunfire rings in both his and Madison's ears.

"We might finally have a chance at holding this point!" The general shouts as he unloads another clip into the hoard of Cogs. On cue the other Rangers teleport in already morphed to conceal their identities.

"Zeo Power Disc!"

"Zeo Power Axe!"

"Zeo Power Sword!"

"I'm sorry Rangers, but this isn't going to be that easy." A voice sounds off as a skeletal like warrior walks out of the shadows deflecting bullets.

"Who are you!?" Jayce demands curiously keeping his sword ready for an attack.

"Someone who will soon show you the meaning of the word power." The man remarks vaguely charging at us quickly dispatching the soldiers with a massive red and white sword. Jayce charges at the man locking swords with him while the other four Rangers fend off the Cogs.

"In case you forgot, we're called the Power Rangers. We already know power." Jayce retorts confidently as he draws his sidearm blasting the monster in the stomach. However, to everyone's surprise it had no effect.

"Hmph, after I'm done with you, there will be no Power Rangers." He remarks slicing Jayce to the floor preparing to stab him in the heart when all of a sudden Brandon blocks his sword. However, the man slices Brandon quickly dispatching him and the other Rangers leaving them unconscious. "Leave them, get the tech from the wreckage. Your day will come soon Power Rangers."

Meanwhile…

"I came to see my Dad." I proclaim to the nurse who had stopped me at the elevator where my father works.

"I'll go see if he can see you right now." She replies running off into my father's office.

"Connor, I need to inform you that I have lost contact with the other Rangers. I assume that they are heavily injured." Zordon informs me through his telepathic powers.

"I'm still working on that storm. But, if King Mondo has really gotten a hold of the tech needed to grow his monsters, then we are in serious trouble." I remark in my head hoping Zordon can hear me.

"We would teleport you to see if they are all right, but I'm afraid the interference from the storm is jamming the teleporter. Whatever you are going to do, do it fast." Zordon explains with me nodding before realizing that he can't hear my nod.

"I'm working on it. My Dad used to be a meteorologist. He might be able to track the source of the storm." I tell Zordon mentally before I see my Dad start walking toward me with a little kid rushing past me. "Hey Dad."

"Connor, how are you doing?" He asks sincerely as we both start walking towards his office.

"Good, I guess."

"I guess this isn't a birthday visit for your old man." He remarks kind of hurt as we go into his office.

"No, my friends are in trouble and this storm is interfering with the teleporter. I need to find the source and stop it." I explain to him with him nodding running over to his computer.

"I thought you were done being a Power Ranger." He comments continuing to type.

"Duty calls and all that." I retort as his face lights up with worry. "Find something?"

"I did and I'm not telling you were it is." He replies defiantly.

"Dad! My friends could be dead! This is not the time for you get all overprotective!" I shout harshly before realizing that I had maybe gone too far.

"The wind speeds where the source is, is so intense it'd rip apart metal. I don't think your powers would be able to protect you from that kind of force." He explains to me.

"I have to try Dad, please." I plead as a piece of paper is placed in my hand by him.

"Those are the coordinates, but please don't go. I can't lose you."

"Dad, I'm a Power Ranger. It's my job to risk my life for others." I tell him before walking out of the office.

"Connor! Connor, please wait!" I hear him shout before getting in the elevator and pressing the button to confirm that I want to go to the roof.

"Ze-oh!" I shout clicking my wrists together morphing.

"Zeo Ranger 4, Green!"

"Zordon, if you can still hear me. I've got the coordinates for the source of the storm. Can you send my Zord to come pick me up?" I ask readily as the elevator stops letting me out onto the roof. I stop for a second realizing that a funnel cloud is forming in the horizon and is easily big enough to destroy the city. "Forget about me Zordon. A tornado is headed this way, but the Zords might be able to stop it. I'll figure out a way to get to the source on my own."

"Be careful Connor, you are on your own right now and there is never a more dangerous time for a Ranger than to be separated." Zordon warns me sincerely. I get back to the ground floor running past all the amazed doctors and patients who look at me confused as to why a Power Ranger is in their hospital.

"This might be an odd request, but I need a vehicle! It's urgent!" I explain to a police officer.

"Hop in shotgun, I'll get you where you need to go." He replies as we both jump into a car. "Where are we headed?"

"Right here." I tell him showing him the coordinates. "Drop me further away, you won't be able to survive the wind."

"Yes sir." He replies starting his car and driving in the direction of the coordinates. "So, like are you guys really aliens?"

"No, we're not aliens." I reply chuckling. "We do have some alien friends though."

"Cool. I just want to say thanks for all you guys have been doing. It means a lot to everyone on the force that we don't have to go up against those robots." The police officer tells me as the wind starts getting more and more intense.

"It's our pleasure. This'll be all sir, thank you." I thank him getting out of the car realizing that the wind was starting to rip apart the outer of the patrol vehicle.

"Zeo Power Blaster!"

"A concentrated blast of energy should be able to destabilize this storm almost instantly before it gets any worse." I think to myself when I'm suddenly blasted from behind dropping my gun. I look behind and see 10 quickly Cogs surrounding me. "I don't have time for this."

I quickly draw my sidearm shooting two of the Cogs. After that I stand up getting in a defensive position blocking attacks from three of the Cogs. I jump backwards kicking one of the Cogs trying to attack me from behind before blasting the three Cogs I had been blocking. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hits me straight in the chest throwing me closer to my blaster.

"Itsy bitsy Ranger trying to take down my storm, down came the lightning and fried the poor soul out." A monster sings walking closer to me with his hands having visible electricity flowing around them. I reach over grabbing my blaster aiming it at the storm, but before I can fire the monster starts to electrocute me making me drop it again. "Is that all you have? I would've expected something more out of the Rangers who beat Master Vile! It seems you Rangers aren't as powerful as I thought."

"That's were you're wrong. We are strong, but it's our bonds and our friendship that has gotten us this far. I'm not going to fail them because Jayce believed in me! He trusted me with this mission!" I shout grabbing my blaster again while being electrocuted and firing it into the massive storm. The storm immediately begins dissipating and I lay on my side feeling accomplished.

"Connor, I got back into contact with the other Rangers. They're headed your way. Just hold on!" Zordon informs me mentally as everything starts going black.

"Get away him!" Jayce exclaims kicking the monster away from me letting me regain my senses.

"Jayce?" I say still regaining my thoughts as everything still feels fuzzy.

"Yeah, it's me buddy. Let's finish this guy together." He retorts as Madison helps me onto my feet. "Ze-oh!"

"Zeo Ranger 1, Pink!"

"Zeo Ranger 2, Yellow!"

"Zeo Ranger 3, Blue!"

"Zeo Ranger 4, Green!"

"Zeo Ranger 5, Black!"

"Zeo Ranger 6, Red!"

"Let's show this fool how to really be shocked." Josiah jokes as we all grab our sidearms and begin blasting him dodging his bolts of lightning.

"Zeo Power Sword!"

Jayce charges forward while we continue blasting the monster giving him the cover he needs to get close and attack. He then swipes upwards throwing the monster into the air.

"Zeo Power Axe!"

Josiah then jumps up smacking him with his axe sending him into the ground. Britt and Madison then flip over the monster shooting him repeatedly in the chest.

"Zeo Megaweapon, Activate!" Brandon commands as we all put our weapons together forming the Megaweapon. "Fire!"

The monster explodes in a spectacular fashion with us feeling the full effect of the heat on our bodies.

"Connor!" A voice cries out when we all un-morph. I look towards the sound of the voice and see my Dad running towards us.

"Dad!" I shout excitedly wrapping my arms around him in a hug. "Thanks for helping."

"It was the least I could do for my son and for a hero." He replies hugging me tighter.

"I love you dad."

Meanwhile…

"Is the tech we stole from that pile of wreck integrated with our ship yet?" King Mondo asks running out of patience.

"No sir. It'll take us at least a week in order to sync up Rita's tech with ours. I am deeply sorry sire." Orbus apologizes before running off.

"You'll get your turn Rangers, and when you do, it'll be time to play all my cards." King Mondo talks to himself before laugh maniacally.


Next time on Power Rangers Zeo! The Rangers are called directly by the UN wanting to put the Power Rangers on trial to answer for their crimes! Madison is put undercover to stop a bomb threat that could kill every world leader. (Go check out Kamen Rider Ex-aid! It takes place in the same universe as this and Connor's Dad is a supporting character for the protagonist in case you wanted to see more of him!)
