The Orange Galaxy Ranger Chapter 2
As Temura opened her dual colored eyes, she noticed something quite off. The park wasn't as quiet and peaceful now as it was before her fateful meeting with Nefia. She saw there were more people at the park than normal, but they were running away from something. But from what or whom and why?
"Why are they running away?" She asked herself quietly.
Her question was answered when a silhouette came into view. She squinted her eyes to get a better look. The silhouette looked like a humanoid monster with green horns and wore a bit of silver armor. The brunette grabbed the Quasar Saber laying on the bench at her side, then got up and walked over to an elderly woman to see if she was ok. When the woman nodded that's when the thing spotted her.
"Hey, Girlie! Hand over dat Quasar Saber if ya know what's good fer ya and nobody gets hurt!" It talked in a masculine voice with an accent.
'So this is what Her Grace meant when She said something or someone invaded Tempurnia,' she thought as she slightly narrowed her eyes at the monster in suspicion. "Who are you?" She asked the being.
"Da name's Silvax, Orange stuff, and I'm here fer dat Saber yer holdin'. Dat's all ya need to know, lady, so hand it over already or ya won't like what'll happen if ya don't!" Silvax replied hotly as his patience was wearing thin.
The Tempurnian shook her head at him not wanting to relinquish the weapon after having been entrusted to her by the patron deity of her planet to someone she didn't know, and by the way he acted fueled Temura's distaste for him. Having been fed up enough by the female's insolence for not complying with him, Silvax aimed his sword at both women in the hopes of teaching them a lesson.
Temura seeing what was about to happen, conjured up the thickest wall of ice she could to block the attack. The wall successfully absorbed the beam emitted from Silvax's weapon. She turned to the woman and reached out her hand, "Can you stand?" The senior citizen nodded then took the the brunette's hand and stood up.
"Do you think you can make it back with the others?"
"What about you, dearie? Will you be alright?"
"I'll be fine it's me he wants anyway."
"Please be careful, dearie, he looks very dangerous."
After making sure the lady departed to safety, Temura set her sights on the ice wall and dispelled it with her flames. The only people who remained in the park was the brunette and the monster. Her face twisted into the most wickedest death glare so much that it put even the best ones to shame, it sent chills down Silvax's spine. Temura was already suffering enough from the death of her mother, her father cutting her off from her relatives either on Tempurnia, Yallis or Palliere and using her as a bargaining chip for more cash.
She had a lot on her plate to deal with, but to have someone come to Tempurnia and attack innocent civilians over a mystical sword they had little to no knowledge about? Now that did it. The brunette grit her teeth, drew her weapon and silently charged.
Silvax didn't have time to register what was going on until before a brown, orange and white tri-colored blur rushed at him, knocking him to the ground and became helpless of the vicious onslaught that rained down upon him. Though normally a polite, quiet, humble and mild-mannered person, Temura never liked fighting or watch others do it as it broke her heart to see people act that way in front of her. She normally never snapped like this, but this was the final straw that broke the camel's back for her.
All that was left to her older Pallierian cousin Cresana Morvey who was generally protective of her like a mother to a child. The two girls were only children growing up and developed a sisterly bond over the years the cousins spent together. Cresana despite being older, had to be the tougher one of the both of them since her little cousin was a pacifist(still is) as she often got bullied. The Pallierian told Temura that she wouldn't always be there if the brunette got unintentionally dragged into a fix and had to get herself out alone. The words felt like a slap to the face but Cresana was right. In the situation Temura was in now, she had to get out in this case, by herself as well as staying alive.
Her stress at max, Temura began venting out everything she kept bottled up within her being at Silvax; her sadness and grief for missing her mother Tsuyuki, her anger and frustration at her father Halbin for trying to marry the 23-year-old off to someone who wouldn't love her and possibly treat the girl like dirt. She continued to senselessly smack him until she felt her rage was sated by nearly beating the guy up to an almost near bloody pulp.
"Alright! Alright already! Uncle! Uncle! J-Just please don't hit me anymore, lady! I quit!" The horned monster pleaded helplessly just as Temura was about to bonk him once more with her blade.
"What makes you think you can show up to someone else's planet and bully them into giving you whatever you want?!" She hissed angrily as tears flowed down her face. "Then if they don't comply you attack them without warning! I DESPISE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!"
She backed away and raised her Saber to the sky while uttering the words "Go Galactic!" as if the young woman knew their meaning. A morpher appeared on her wrist then started glowing, thus signaling a transformation.
After transforming, Temura was covered head-to-toe in a spandex suit the same color as her vest. The torso part of the suit was white with a black zigzaggy stripe going across the front, while her hands and feet were covered with matching gloves and boots with the same aforementioned colored stripe at the cuffs. A white belt with a golden V shaped buckle was fastened securely around her waist over her skirt and her helmet had motifs reminiscent of a fox.
'So this is what it feels like to be a Power Ranger. I feel a bit stronger than normal and I have a lot more energy,' she thought inwardly while inspecting herself.
"Aw crap. So much fer gettin' dat Saber for da boss now that some Power Ranger's done threw a wrench in da plans. Time to do it da old fashioned way," Silvax muttered disdainfully. With that, he readied his weapon again intent on blasting the girl to oblivion so he could claim what he came for from Temura's corpse.
A/N: This is my first fight scene so I'm still experimenting with this. I probably won't be very descriptive about it but I'll do my best. :)
Temura wasted no time withdrawing her Saber from her belt and charged again while dodging the energy beams as if she truly had the speed and agility of an actual fox. The two clashed their weapons repeatedly while locked in the tide of combat. She kicked him in the gut causing the armored fiend to stagger back a few feet.
"Not bad, Orange stuff," if Silvax had a mouth, he'd be smirking right now at the newly clad Orange Ranger's combat skills. "Somebody done taught ya well."
Temura said nothing as Silvax met her halfway again in their dance of blades before slashing her across the chest. She rolled away while suppressing a growl in retaliation as she then pulled out her Transdagger and shot a volley of blasts at the horned creature. Some of the shots fired missed their intended target while others connected.
"Ow! Dis is da thanks I get fer goin' easy on ya?!" He protested while clutching his side.
"You weren't even trying, you slacker!" The Orange Ranger countered fiercely.
It seemed the young woman struck a nerve or two or as Silvax now riled up, rushed her way bent on putting Temura in her place.
"Why ya little-! Dat's it! No more Mr. Nice Guy! Nobody calls me a slacker and gets away with it! From now on, I'm goin' all out."
"You never were nice to begin with in the first place."
After that remark, his attacks became more aggressive but unfortunately for Silvax however, this was good news for the brunette as she predicted his moves and knew exactly when and how to counter them. Having had enough, the Orange Ranger sent a flame infused, white gloved fist in his solar plexus sending the armored humanoid reeling away from her and crashing to the ground. She then used her Transdagger's Lance form and performed a jump attack to finish the job. Temura landed several feet away as soon as she touched the ground.
Silvax chuckled as he went down knowing full well what would happen to him should he fall in battle. This caught Temura's attention as she wanted to know why he was laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing about, you silver demon?!"
"Heh heh well I guess I better tell ya, Girlie. Should somethin' happen to me, my body's rigged with a device dat creates a wormhole and pulls whoever beat me in it to some unknown place. Thing can't be diffused once da switch's been flipped. No one's ever beat me before so yer da first to do it."
Temura's eyes widened with horror underneath her helmet as well as her body tensing up when she heard this. "So in other words: you're a walking time bomb just waiting to be defeated!" She yelled only to get a nod as a reply. The brunette gripped her lance so tightly she could feel her fingernails digging in her palm on the verge of drawing blood and her knuckles turning white through the glove, but she didn't care about that right now. Temura seethed as she grit her teeth again.
"Sorry, kid. Been real nice fightin' with ya, Orange Ranger, even though I lost and didn't get what I came here fer. Time fer me to head to da stars." With that, Silvax flipped the switch before his body exploded. True to his last words, a wormhole appeared and swallowed Temura, demorphing and sending the Orange Ranger to whatever awaited her on the other side.
