Tommy sat up from his bed, rubbing his eyes as he wakes up. Rising from his bed, he got up and walked the familiar path to his door. However, he had forgotten that he was aboard the Gokai Galleon and smacked into a wall, stumbling back, looking around before he realized where he was. Heading up to the main room, he saw Kyle standing at the main console, typing away, apparently looking up the Stratigic Response Unit Amy Jo Johnson, aka Julianna "Jules" Callaghan belonged too.
"how long till we get to Toranto?" He asked as he sat on the couch. Kyle blinked and turned, having not heard him walk in, which made him smile. Kyle usually was the one sneaking around and spooking Tommy, it was nice to change things up.
"We arrived 3 hours ago. I figured you could use the sleep, so I hid us up in the clouds so we don't attract attention. I figure we'll use JetMan to fly down without being seen and scope around. Then we'll figure out how to find Jules." He said, pointing to some food on the table, which Tommy quickly ate. Standing on the deck of the Galleon, they took out their Mobirates and ranger keys.
Gokai Change Gokaiger
Pressing a thumb to their buckles, they took out the Ranger Keys they wanted and folded them up.
"One more time now." Tommy said.
Gokai Change JetMan
After becoming Jetman, they spread their wings and flew down to the ground, trying to avoid drawing as much attention as they could, and managed to succeed; demorphing once their feet was on solid ground. Placing his hands on the lapel of the large red jacket he had found in the wardrobe, Kyle looked around.
"So, how should we go about finding her? It's not like we read Canadianise." Kyle said with a grin. Tommy rolled his eyes, than got an idea.
"Hey, why don't we use MegaRanger? We could use them to track radio signals. A signal like SRU is bound to be frantic and high priority, so it should be easy to pin point." Tommy suggested. Kyle turned to look at him, thinking, than shook his head.
"No we can't, can't do that." Tommy blinked at his friend.
"Why not? Is it a bad plan? I don't think it's so bad."
"No, it's a bloody brilliant plan. But I don't like that I didn't think of it." Kyle said as he grinned and patted his friends back. "Ok, we'll start by looking for the police station, after that finding the SRU shouldn't be that hard. But if we can't find it then we'll go with your plan."
About half an hour later, they managed to find the police station, but found out that SRU was not located nearby and that there was a situation somewhere they had been called to. The two pirates went into an alley to get some privacy, where Tommy fished a Blue Ranger key out of his pocket, folding it up, but before he could slide it into the morbirate, Kyle stopped in, holding up a black key.
"If this plan of yours is going to work, you should use MegaBlack. He can track communications and transmissions. If that doesn't pan out, we'll rock-paper-scissors to find out who gives MegaPink a go." Tommy nodded and put his MegaBlue key back into his pocket, before taking the offered key and transforming into MegaBlack, scanning for the signals they were searching for.
"Got it, it looks like it heads downtown. Can't tell much from down here though, can we-whoa"
GoaRanger
Before he could finish his sentence, Kyle changed into GoaRed, wrapped an arm around him and climbed up to the top of the building.
"How's this?" Kyle asked as he let him go after reaching to top.
"Prefect, just give me a warning before you do that. I don't want to puke inside these helmets. It would not be cool at all." Looking around, he is able to pinpoint the source of the signals SRU are using. After informing Kyle, they made their way to an abandoned building, surrounded by police and media.
"Ok, it's either that abandoned office building across the street, or the yogurt shop next to it." Kyle said sarcastically. "I'll scope around a bit inside, let me know if you hear anything interesting." He added, before leaping across the roof, before going around and scaling the side of the building before slipping inside through an emergency exit.
"I've heard of cats climbing trees, but lions climbing buildings, that too funny." Tommy told himself as he kneeled down, trying to tap into the communications.
"What's up Sam?" Greg Parker asked as he noticed one of his men watching the building strangely.
"It's nothing boss, but….I swear I just saw a guy in a red jumpsuit climbing up the side of the building a moment ago." Sam told the veteran Sergeant.
"Red jumpsuit? Really? Ok guys, we can pack it in, Sam just saw Spider-Man go into the building." At that, the assembled team laughed as they readied up. No one noticed the fact Jules gave the building a second, thoughtful look.
Kyle carefully walked down a hallway, kneeling close to the ground before poking his head out into an intersection, glancing back and forth, before straightening. As he was about to make his way down the new hallway, his mobirate began to ring. Cursing, he quickly silenced it and answered.
"I'm here, what's the situation like?" he asked, walking back a bit, not wanting to be heard.
"Ok, I tapped into their communications. Sounds like a group of about 7 gunmen have hostages in that building, 3 adults and one infant. Their all on the 5th floor, and apparently pretty well armed. You have about 10 minutes before SRU is in position to storm in and rescue the hostages."
"Ok then, I'll head on up and organize a nice reception. Maybe take care of them all before they get here. "
"Roger. I'll do what I can do jam their communications, slow down SRU to buy you some time."
"It may not be Gormin, but we'll make a show of it anyway."
Ending the transmission, Kyle and made his way up the elevator shaft until he was one level below the hostage takers. Walking down the hall was simpler then he thought, it felt as though he was a lion on the prowl, ready to strike when his prey least expected it. Once he heard the sounds of boots against the floor, he crouched low and carefully made his way over to where a pair of the hostage takers were doing a patrol. He quickly launched himself and before they could react, drove his elbow into the stomach of one and backhanded another in the face.
And of course it was just after they were rendered unconscious that their radio began to squawk. Cursing, Kyle grabbed his moribite and told Tommy to head to the roof for a pincer movement. They didn't have time to mess around. He was also informed that S.R.U. was about to enter the bottom floor, so they had to move quickly if they wanted to be out before they were found. He quickly found where the rest of the hostages and their captors were. Pulling out a new Ranger Key, one of his favorites, he ran up behind the thugs.
J.A.K.Q.
Turning around in surprise, the thugs were unprepared for a man in red spandex pummeling them. Dropping low in a leg sweep, Kyle took one off his feet, and then did a jump spin back kick to another. Turning, he caught the fist of the third thug and flipped him over his shoulder, causing him to land hard with a thud. Spinning with a bit of a flourish, he struck a pose.
"Spade Ace!" As he struck his pose his elbow found its mark in the face of the goon he leg swept, knocking him all out. Turning, Kyle quickly realized something was wrong. "Wait, aren't there more? Where did they go?" The woman among the hostages quickly ran to him.
"They left just before you got here. They said they were on their way to the underground garage, they have a car there, please you have to stop them, and they have my baby." Nodding, Kyle grabbed his moribate and called Tommy.
"T, the last of the hostage takers are on their way to the garage below the complex, they have the infant with them." The red ranger immediately heard a strange whooshing sound, like helicopter blades.
"I'm on my way."
"Right, see you there." Closing his moribite, Kyle spun around, thinking, then ran to the window. "I should be able to reach the entrance of the garage before they leave. Wait here for help to arrive"
"How, they smashed the controls to all the lift controls except one?" Motioning for the three to step back, he smashed the window and turned around, jumping out.
"Simple, gravvitttyyyyy!"
Simon Grant and his sister, Susan Grant laughed as they headed for the exit of the parking. A few more meters and they were home free, they would get away and ransom the brat the sister currently held in her arms. Just before they cleared the garage, a man in what looked like blue armor and traffic lights all over him stepped in front of them, holding out his open palm as if to tell them to halt. Suddenly all of the traffic lights on his body went red and the SUV they were driving stopped.
"What are you doing? Run his ass over!" Susan screamed at her brother. She then realized he was pounding the gas pedal with no avail. She grabbed the door handle to try and get out and run, but found a tall silver armored man standing there, blocking her door from opening. Meanwhile, the blue guy walked over to the driver's side, waving his finger as though admonishing a naughty child. The silver man reached in and took the baby from her.
"This baby doesn't belong to you, and the way you're acting is a danger to the common health of the community" It spoke to her. The blue man nodded.
"Even worse, driving like that is a clear danger to traffic safety." Reaching in, he pulls Simon out of the car and flips him on top of the hood. "So why don't we just relax until the proper authorities get here." As is summoned by their mere mention, a dozen police officers appeared, pointing their guns at them, yelling for them to surrender. The silver hand calmly turned and gently handed the baby to an officer, than they both leapt, jumping over a wall and escaping.
"Boss, we're found the hostages. Someone was here before us, took out 5 of the targets. According to the hostages, it was one, maybe two guys. He was tall, in red clothes with a blue spade logo on his helmet. He jumped out the window when they told him that their baby was taken by the two that escaped." Ed Wood reported.
"I just got word from the police; they found the missing 2 targets at the underground parking garage. Apparently 2 men, one in blue armor and one in silver disabled their getaway vehicle and escaped. For now, you, Sam, and Jules get the hostages down here, and then we'll see about these armored guys."
"Gotcha Bossman, out." Wood said as he ended the transmission, ordering his team to help the people down to the lobby.
From their vantage point at the parking garage, Tommy and Kyle, still in their changes as Signalman and Gosei Knight, watched the people they helped rescue be escorted out of the building, both smiling as the woman was handed her baby. Kyle turned to Signalman, curious about something.
"So why did you use the Signalman key. I wanted to use that one." Tommy chuckled before changing back to Gokai Blue.
"Yeah, but this way I stopped you from singing "Stop in the name of Love"." Kyle turned back into Gokai Red.
"Do you honestly think I'd do that?" The visor of Gokai Blue stared at him until Kyle looked down: they both knew he would have done so in a second.
After work, Jules went back to her house. Today had been a very strange day. Sighing happily as she sat down, she blinked a few times as she heard tapping on her back door. Grabbing her gun she stepped over to the door, pointing her gun in front of her, then paused when she saw two very familiar yet different figures standing in her backyard. Working on instinct, she decided to holster her gun and open the door to let them in.
"I assume that the two of you were involved in that hostage situation earlier?" She asked, not letting them out of her sight as they walked in. The two looked around a bit, before turning their attention to the one they came all this way to see. After a few moments they demorphed in a respective flash of red and blue light. She was surprised at their youthful appearances. They appeared to be more or less the same age, early 20's, with a similar height and build.
"Amy Jo Johnson?" The one with the red jacket asked.
"I prefer to be called Jules Callahan now. I'd ask how you found me, but I get a strange feeling I already know the answer. What are your names?" She asked as she sat at the table, both sitting down across from her.
"I'm Kyle, Gokai Red. This is Tommy Gokai Blue. We need to talk to you. We need your help."
"You want the Ultimate Power of ZyuRanger, also known as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." She told them. She smiled slightly at the looks on their faces.
"Yeah, that's right, how did you know?" Tommy asked.
"Well, about the same time two Power Ranger like figures appeared; I suddenly became aware of a strange feeling just beneath the surface. I instinctively knew what it was as though I always had it, what it was and what it could do."
"Well, then could you give it to us?" Kyle asked.
"I can't. About an hour ago, the feeling vanished. I think one of the other remaining ZyuRanger era Mighty Morphin Rangers gave it away to someone already, but I don't know to whom." She could tell that wasn't the news they wanted to hear, and they weren't happy to have come all this way and leave empty handed. "I may not have an Ultimate Power, but I do have some advice. You two won't be able to form your MegaZord until you get all 5 of your team together. That's when your team's potential can be realized." The two looked at each other, and she got the feeling she was giving the neutral vote in an argument between the two. Before anything else could be said her radio went off, telling her about an attack by strange grey men in the central plaza. Grabbing her radio to confirm she was on her way, she turned to give the pirates directions, only to see them jumping over the fence in the backyard, followed by a red and blue flash of light.
As S.R.U. helped the police get civilians to safety from the gormin, Kyle and Tommy arrived launching an attack against the Zangyack force. Rolling out of the way of a rocket, Kyle swung his sword up, slashing a gormin away, then pointed his gun over his shoulder and shot at the gormin behind him before using the knuckle guard of the sword to punch one in the face and slash it. Tommy alternated between slashes and gunshots, the two working well and clearing up the Zangyack. Going back to back, they grabbed a little used ranger key out of their buckles and folded them up.
Gokai Change: FlashMan
Using the prism sword Kyle fought off his group, with Tommy using the prism ball and star darts to give him cover they were able to distract the gormin enough that the authorities were able to get all of the civilians to safety, allowing them to let loose on the Zangyack more. As they reached behind them for new keys they saw an action commander approaching, the one from the second episode: Bongan.
"Looks like we've got Ben 10's main villain here." Tommy said, making fun of the fact Bongan looked similar to Vilgax from the cartoon Ben 10. Running at the action commander, they slide the Ranger Keys into their Moribites and changed.
Gokai Change: GingaMan
Engaging in hand to hang combat for a bit, they held their own but were forced back, Kyle draw his starbeast sword while Tommy got the Kiba Claw out. Keeping Bongan off balanced the alternating their attacks, they grab one more key to finish him off with.
Gokai Change: Dynaman
Standing side by side, the two held out their arms and got ready to launch a big move.
"Super Dynamite!" Becoming a giant ball of fire they launched themselves at Bongan and struck him hard. Lacking the full power of all 5 Dynaman, the attack wasn't strong enough to destroy him, but enough to significantly weaken him. Changing back into Gokaiger, they grabbed their personal ranger keys and slide them into their swords.
Final Wave: Gokai Slash
Swinging their Gokai Sabre's at the action commander, the respective red and blue waves flew and struck it down and causing it to explode. After dispatching the remaining gormin, Kyle grabbed his moribite and summoned the Gokai Galleon, which dropped its lines and bringing the two pirates up to the deck of the ship. Heading down below, they went into the cockpit where Kyle turned the flying ship back towards home.
"you said you wanted to try and see about getting people to help us fight the Zangyack. Who did you have in mind?" Kyle asked after ten or so minutes. Tommy looked up in surprise at his friend, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"I hadn't given it that much thought. Tell you what, once we get back, we'll get some sleep and start thinking about who we should get. And also try and figure out who got the ZyuRanger ultimate power." Nodding, Kyle brought them into the clouds to avoid detection by any passing aircraft.
"Sounds like a plan. Why don't you go to the galley and make something to eat. I'm hungry." Chuckling, Tommy demorphed and opened the door, walking out and back to the main room.
I know no one has reviewed this but when I posted the first chapter it was 90% done, so I thought what they hell. If anyone's interested in a third chapter it will be in two parts, first part featuring the selection of a Yellow Ranger, and the second part will have a tribute to Jason David Frank: AKA Tommy Oliver.
