Power Rangers: Steam Force
Ch 1: Divided as one: part 2
A bright light surrounded the six rangers as they began to morph.
[morphing sequence]
Each ranger found themselves going through a tunnel with train tracks under their feet. The white suit was replaced by a colour coded version. A rail like silver belt appeared around their waist that was connected with a buckle that resembled a train platform. White gloves with silver cuffs appeared on their hands. Coloured boots with white cuffs formed on their feet. A barred furnace hatch appeared on the chest of each ranger. Silver cow catcher style pauldrons formed on their shoulders before tracks formed across their eyes and energy surrounded the rest of their head. It solidified, forming a helmet with a rail inspired visor, a grey number on the left side of the helmet ranging from one to six. On the back of the helmet, there was a steam valve. Each morphed ranger stopped in the tunnel as the morphing sequence completed.
[morphing sequence]
The bright light was replaced by a cloud of steam that dispersed as the fully morphed rangers stood ready to fight.
"Red hot just like an engine, steam force red!"
"Cold and refreshing, water in the tank, steam force blue!"
"The glorious green of a carriage, steam force green!"
"Putting on the golden touch, steam force yellow!"
"Powering ahead with industrial fuel, steam force black!"
"Pure colour, rising high to the sky, steam force white!"
"Power Rangers! Steam Force!" They all shouted out, taking various poses as an explosion occurred behind them, followed by several plumes of steam that correlated with their ranger colour. "Rangers? Ha, It will only be a simple matter. We defeated the last one easily. Bring it spandex squad!" Galvan taunted.
Lloyd ran in and slugged Galvan in the head before letting the black and green rangers kick him back. TJ provided a jump boost to Alex who performed a spiralling kick as she descended. Ayana missed Galvan's head with a powerful swing but struck his pincer and wounded him. "Rangers, this it Lohan. You have him on the retreat. I'm still working on the program to make it more functional but it'll be fine for now. Enter the code 1-0-1 to activate the pipe blades. When you've worn him down, enter the code 0-3-4 good luck. Lohan out." The general informed him.
"Everyone ready?" Lloyd asked. Giving nods, each entered the code into their morpher.
1-0-1 - shipping ... pipe blade ... arriving
Steam formed in each ranger's hand, quickly dispersing and revealing a long pipe that looked like a sword with a crossbar. "Cool toys." Alex commented. "You're right there, looks like it's time to hit something." Lucas joked. Each ranger took up an offensive stance as they brandished their new toys.
The Rangers pelted Galvan as he attempted to block their attacks. Eventually, he was able to grasp hold of Mia's blade and throw her into the others. "Damn it this guy is tough." She groaned as she got back up. TJ and Lucas were still holding him off. Until he blasted his beetles at them. Regrouping, the rangers stood in a line. "We've gotta use the other weapon if we want to stop this." They all shouted. Since they were in agreement, they all shared a smirk under their helmets.
0-3-4 ... shipping ... rail cannon ... arriving
A large cannon appeared in front of the group. Looking like a rail gun attached to a push action railway cart. The red and white rangers held the front, blue and green at the bolt action trigger, and the black and yellow rangers at the loading end.
"Loading compression shell." Mia and Ayana called.
"Aiming rail cannon!" Lloyd and Alex told them.
"Locked and loaded. Ready when you are TJ." Lucas said from his side.
"Firing rail cannon!" TJ announced as he and Lucas pulled back the bolt trigger.
With a powering up sound, the rail gun came alive as it shot multicoloured beams of light at the Terrasoid. The light turned into a red steam engine, tugging along several other carts that were the same colour as the ranger's suits. With a scream, Galvan exploded and was vaporised. As the blast died down, spores hit the ground where he once stood.
With a thunderclap, the spores recreated Galvan, but this time he was a towering giant. "I'm back rangers, and I'm bigger than ever!" His voice boomed. He shot a beam of beetles at the rangers as they dived out of the way. "Lohan we need help. Preferably something big enough to take on an at least 50ft monster." Lloyd called in. "Gotchya, I'm readying the depot now. The rail riders should be on their way any second now." He replied.
[steam force]
In an abandoned train yard on the outskirts of Vicdon. Bright lights turned on and a large storage door opened with a rusty screech. Five others like it opened. A rail turntable rose from the ground and turned onto each door to release each zord. After travelling on the tracks, steam jets made them rise into the sky as they travelled to the rangers. The red rail rider was an old time express train chugging along at the front. The white was a monorail with its carts, the blue was a high speed train which was similar to the monorail. The green rider was a tram and the yellow was a rail bus. The final rider was a black passenger train.
"Let's get to work." Lloyd said to himself. Each ranger jumped into their zords as they passed over.
"Red express rider engaged!"
"White mono rider engaged!"
"Blue speed rider engaged!"
"Green tram rider engaged!"
"Yellow bus rider engaged!"
"Black passenger rider engaged!"
"Coupling zords! Steam Titan Megazord engage!"
Each ranger pulled down a lever in their zord. The mono rider and speed rider's back half folded to the back then attached to the other carts and the control cars flipped up to create legs. The express rider split in two, putting the back end vertically up and placing it on top to the front part. It then connected to the other two riders. Next, the passenger rider split down the middle and folded to create shoulders which attached and then dropped down the upper arm when connected. The tram and bus split in half but had a metal beam keeping them loose but attached. The attached to the upper arm to create the full arm and the fists. Finally a head emerged from the central rider. It had a rail mouth guard, shining green eyes, and had a metal conductors hat with steampunk goggles on top of the hat.
"Steam Titan Megazord ready!"
Galvan sized up the robot standing before him. "It doesn't matter what you rangers throw at me, you'll never stop my mistress!" He said with confidence. "We'll see about that you oversized beetle!" TJ taunted. "Let's get him" Ayana enthused. The others gave a nod.
TJ pressed some controls. "High speed train arriving at your gut" He joked as the Megazord kicked Galvan in the stomach, knocking him back. "Cheap shot ranger. Feel my beetle blast!" He fired his beam, only for it to be blocked by the two arms. This gave him time to pick the Megazord up and throw it. Getting back up the Megazord hit its fists together. "I think it's about time we crushed this insect." Lucas told the others. Giving a nod the Rangers hit the controls and made the Megazord hit the giant in the head a few times. He was severely injured. "Let's wrap this up."
"Max speed! Collision strike!"
The Megazord ran at blur speed holding its fists out, it levelled out horizontal and was propelled by jets of steam. It hit the Terrasoid straight in the middle of the chest and caused an explosion. The Megazord turned away as Galvan was vaporised. He yelled his last words before disintegrating "This isn't happening!" The rangers cheered "rangers, looks like we squashed a bug." Lloyd announced triumphantly as the others cheered.

Stinger burst through a door into the chamber. He let out an annoyed buzz before bowing to the queen. "My queen, Galvan has been destroyed by six warriors similar to the one you slew. What are your orders?" She looked at him for a moment. "Nothing. Let them have their victory today. I shall hatch a new Terrasoid to deal with them soon enough. Now leave!" She snapped. He ran out of the room in fear of her.
Once the room was empty, she forced an organic cradle to rise from the ground. "No matter how many of them they defeat. They will be nothing compared to you my child. I have made you to bring them down. When you grow up, you will be ready. My little Kivo, destroyer of mankind." She gave a dark smile as she played with the hand of an infant. Although a newborn, he seemed to be at least a year old. A yellow glow surrounded the eye of the child as he played with his mother.

That was steam force part 2 of chapter 1. Meaning chapter 2 is coming up next. This was primarily a fight chapter with a reveal of a 'bad guy' he's gonna be a really interesting character in how he is incorporated into the story. This was a planned event from the beginning and he's gonna be involved in a lot of the story. For now though, my main focus is the conflict between rangers, mainly Ayana and about half of the team since she hates the upper class.
Quick mention. I started martial strike and have an OC contest for that, but it's mostly black rangers. Similar to what happened here with the OC's it's not a bad thing, but I'm mentioning here to just say it'll be easier for your character to be picked if they weren't a black ranger as there's only one submission for a different colour. Don't be discouraged from doing a black ranger, just make it as best you can if you do. Anyone who already submitted can resubmit if they want but they don't have to. Anyway, this wasn't really that quick, and I've been Stormasius, see you next time in whichever story I'm writing for next.
Next chapter: chapter 2: a conflict of interest
Synopsis: For some life is hard. Others not so hard. When TJ admits to being the heir to a rich family, how will some react because of his upbringing, will they sort it out or will it fall into anarchy. With the problem at hand, can they even defeat the latest Terrasoid attack? Find out next time on Power Rangers: Steam Force.
