Chapter 12: Episode 10

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers.

The rangers and Addy are now in the park on a Saturday.

"Tell me again why we going to clean the park on Saturday?" asked James.

"Cause our school volunteered to do so and we got this part of the park," said Nia.

James then looked over to Addy, "And you don't even go to our school, plus you're still in middle school?"

"What, they didn't say I couldn't and I want to help out," she said.

James sighed, "Fine let's just get this over with."

Since it wasn't fall and still warm, they all were wearing gym shorts and the guys were wearing sleeveless shirts while the girls were wearing tank tops.

"Vaya, why is there so much trash?!" asked Damien as two plastic bottles in the trash bag he was carrying.

"You'd bee surprised how lazy some people can be," said Trevor.

"Uh guys looked what I just found," said Carson.

They all turned and saw a newspaper in a tree. They looked at it with wide eyes.

"How did someone get it up there?" asked Addy.

"I want to know why," Nia said as she facepalmed.

"Anyway, we'll have to get it down," said Trevor.

"Don't worry I got it," said James as he began to climb the tree.

"Are you sure?" asked Damien.

"Yea he did this a lot when he was little," said Carson.

James was slowly making his way up the tree and when he was within arm's reach a wasp flew in front of him. James' eyes widen and quickly brought his arm back and fell out the tree.

"James!" Trevor screamed.

James landed on his back and the others ran over to him.

"Are you ok?" asked Addy worriedly.

"Yea I'm fine," he said.

"What happen up there?" Damien asked.

"I saw a wasp and got scared," James said.

Everyone except Carson and Trevor had a confused look on their faces.

"Oh really, I thought you'd be over that by now," Carson said as he helped his brother up.

"Shut up," said James.

The brothers then noticed the confused look on everyone's face.

"What?" asked James.

"You're scared of wasps?" asked Addy.

"Yea he had a bad experience with one," said Trevor.

"Really, what happened," asked Damien.

"I don't really want to talk about it," said James.

"Oh well ok then but we should get back to cleaning," said Nia.

The others nodded and went back to cleaning.

In space

Incisor was in the control room, watching all the fights with the rangers trying to find a weakness. Destructor walked into the room.

"Master I believe I know the perfect monster that can defeat the rangers," he said.

"Oh really, take me to him," said Incisor.

Incisor and Destructor walked into the into the prison and Destructor lead to a cage with an alien who looked like a humanoid wasp except the string was its left hand.

"What do you to want?" the alien asked.

Incisor walked up to the cell, "I have a job for you,"

"What is it?" the alien asked.

Destructor walked up and pressed a button on his watch and then a picture of the rangers appeared.

"We want you to destroy them," said Destructor.

The alien cocked an eyebrow, "What's in it for me?"

"Simple, you defeat them, you get your freedom," Incisor said.

"Really, fine then I, Wasp, will destroy the rangers for you," Wasp said as he stood up.

Incisor smirked, "Excellent!"

Destructor opened the cage and Wasp walked out.

Incisor looked at them, "So Wasp what can you do?"

Wasp then pointed at his stinger, "My stinger contains a poison that can paralyze anything that touches it."

"Good now you and Destructor will take the ingots with you, try to affect the rangers with your poison," said Incisor.

They nodded and left for Earth.

With the rangers

"Add that should do it," said Trevor.

The rangers had just finished cleaning up the park and were now cooling off.

"I've never thought the park could get so dirty," Nia said.

"Yea, I mean hasn't anybody heard of recycling?" Carson asked.

"Oh, they have, it's just most probably don't care, as long as they get rid of their trash," said Nia.

They then heard a beep. The rangers looked around and made sure they were alone. They gathered around Trevor.

"Go ahead Chronos," he said.

"Rangers, I have detected monsters just outside the city, and one of them is Destructor," he said.

"How about the other?" asked Trevor.

"His name is Wasp and be careful of his stinger, it can paralyze you." Chronos explained.

James began to shake after he heard that name, and Addy noticed it.

"You ok James?" she asked.

"Yea, yea I'm fine don't worry," he said but Addy wasn't convinced.

"Alright, we'll take care of it," said Trevor.

"Ok good luck and be careful," said Chronos.

Trevor ended the call and turned to Addy.

"Addy go to the cave, it'll be safe there," he said.

Addy nodded, "Ok be careful."

Trevor nodded as Addy pressed a button on her own watch and teleported to the cave.

"Let do it guys!" said Trevor.

"Right!" the others said.

"It's morphin' time!" said Trevor as he and the others summoned their morphers.

"Beast Force Awaken!" they all said.

Morphing Sequence

"Red Falcon!"

"Yellow Lion!"

"Blue Dolphin!"

"Black Bison!"

"Green Rhino!"

End Sequence

The rangers then teleported to the battle site. When they got there, they saw Destructor and Wasp with some ingots. The aliens turned towards the rangers.

"Rangers!" said Destructor.

"So, these are the rangers?" asked Wasp.

"What are you two up to?" asked Trevor.

"Just know you will be destroyed, attack!" said Destructor.

The two aliens and the ingots ran, and the rangers got their beast sabers ready and they ran at the aliens.

As the fight began, Wasp noticed James wasn't coming near him. He grinned and ran up at him.

James noticed and ducked down and slowly backed away.

"What's wrong ranger scared?" he asked.

"G-get back!" said James, "Stay away for me!"

Wasp brought his stringer back and shot at James, but he rolled out the way and changed his sword into a gun.

"Don't come any closer," said James as he began to shake as Wasp was getting closer to him.

The other was fighting some ingots and Destructor when they noticed James was shaking and he that he was getting backed a wall.

"What's going on with James?" asked Nia.

Carson's and Trevor's eyes widen.

"His phobia of wasps," said Trevor.

"And we're up against a wasp-like alien," said Carson.

Trevor punched an ingot and turned towards Carson, "Go help him."

Carson nodded and ran over to James.

James was backing away with his gun pointed at Wasp.

"Stay away from me!" he screamed as he fired his gun.

Wasp deflected the shot and was face to face with James.

"Aw the little ranger's scared of me, well this is going to be easy," said Wasp as he picked up James and shot a laser from his stinger at James and James landed on the ground and demorphed.

"Well this is the end for you ranger," said Wasp as he got ready to stick James.

James closed his eyes and braced himself. But he didn't feel anything. James slowly opened his eyes and saw…

"Carson?" he asked shocked.

Carson was standing in front of him and took the stringer.

Carson looked down at James and demorphed and gave him a pained smile and fell to the ground.

"Carson!" screamed Nia as she ran over to them.

"Uh oh," the others said, and Trevor also ran over to them.

Damien kicked Destructor in the stomach and ran over to the brothers. They all gather around Carson. They saw that his feet were turning into stone.

"We've got to get him back to Chronos," said Trevor and the others nodded.

"Oh no you don't!" said Wasp as he was charging up his stinger.

"Addy get teleport us out of here!" said Damien int his communicator.

The rangers were quickly teleported out and Wasp sighed.

"They got away," said Wasp.

"Don't worry they'll be back," said Destructor.

At the cave

After the rangers got back to the cave, Carson was placed on a bed with Nia and James by his side"Af.

"Is there anyway we can stop it?" asked Trevor as now Carson's shins were now becoming stone.

"I'm afraid the only way to save him is to defeat Wasp," said Chronos.

James then got up, "It's all my fault."

Damien put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't blame yourself, it's no one's fault."

James shook off his hand, "But it is my fault, if I didn't freeze up like that then he wouldn't be like this."

Trevor walked over to James, "James I think it's time you tell them what happen."

James looked at Trevor then at Carson and nodded, "Alright."

Flashback

"It happened when I was 9," said James.

James was playing in a park with a 10-year-old Carson and an 11-year-old Trevor. They were currently throwing a frisbee to one another.

"Here it comes Trev!" James shouted as he threw it to him.

"I got it!" Trevor said as he jumped to catch it, but it went over his head and into a tree.

They all ran over to the tree and saw that their frisbee had landed next to a wasps' nest.

"Good job James, we lost the only frisbee we had," said Carson.

"Sorry look I'll go get ok," he said as ran to the tree.

"But it's near a wasp's nest," said Trevor.

"Don't worry I won't bother it," said James as he began to climb the tree.

Eventually, James was able to get the frisbee. He stood on the tree branch and waved the frisbee at them.

"See I got it!" he shouted at them.

"Ok now get back down before our parents get worried," said Carson.

"Yea and be careful," Trevor said.

But then…

*WHACK*

…the frisbee hit the wasps' nest.

All their eyes widen, as wasp started to come out and went towards James.

The wasps strung James and caused him to fall out the tree.

Flashback End

"After that I ended up in the hospital and the doctors said that I was lucky that Trevor and Carson were there and that if I landed wrong I could've died," James said.

Everyone looked at him with sympathy.

"No wonder you're scared of them," said Addy.

"Yea, now every time I see one, I think back to when it happened," said James.

Then the alarm went off. Addy and Chronos ran over to the computer and saw Destructor and Wasp attacking the city.

"They're back!" said Addy.

"Rangers go!" said Chronos.

They nodded and got ready to go. They summoned their morphers but James couldn't.

"Huh what's going on?" he asked.

"I don't know, but Trevor you and the others go!" said Chronos.

Nia looked worried over at Carson.

"Don't worry Nia we'll take care of him," said Addy.

She nodded and went over to the others.

"Let's go guys!" said Trevor.

"Beast Force Awaken!" they said.

Morphing Sequence

"Yellow Lion!"

"Blue Dolphin!"

End Sequence

In the city

Trevor and the other confronted Destructor and Wasp.

"Rangers!" said Destructor.

"Finally, I was getting bored," said Wasp.

"Well we're here and you gonna pay for what you did to our friend," said Nia.

"Don't worry you'll join him soon," said Wasp.

Back in the cave

James sitting next to Carson as Chronos and Addy were examining his morpher.

"Have you guys found anything yet?" he asked.

"I believe we have," said Chronos.

James got up and walked over to them, "Really?"

Addy looked over at him, "The crystal that gives you your powers doesn't seem to be reacting to you anymore."

"Huh, why?" he asked.

"That's what we're trying to figure that out," said Chronos.

They heard a scream and hey looked at the computer ad saw Trevor and the others get taken down by Wasp and Destructor.

Addy turned to James, "James you have to go and help them."

James began to shake at Wasp.

"James?" she asked.

James grabbed the sides of his head, "No! No! I can't I'm too scared."

"James you have to get over it," said Addy.

"I can't! I just can't! What if I freeze up again and the others end up like Carson, I'd never be able to live with myself," he said.

"James,"

They all turned to Carson who was trying to get up, but his waist was now stone.

"Carson!" James said as they ran over to him, "You shouldn't try to move."

"Don't worry about it, but you have to help the others," he said.

"But, I can't I'm too scared," said James.

"James it doesn't matter if your scared, we all are but we're still going to fight," Carson said.

"But…" James started.

"But nothing!" Carson shouted, "The world needs us James, and we need a full team. It's either you face your fear and save the city or give in to your fear and it's about time that you got over your fear."

James put his head down and began to think after a few minutes he raised his head with a determined smile.

"Carson you're right, we have to work together, and I should just face my fear," he said .

Carson smiled and nodded. James' morpher glowed and flew back on his wrist.

"What happened?" asked Chronos.

"No idea but if going to help," said James.

"Be careful out there James," said Addy.

"Beast Force Awaken!" James said.

"Green Rhino!"

In the city

The rangers, now demorphed, were laying on the ground as Wasp and Destructor were walking towards them.

"This was too easy," said Destructor.

Wasp walked over to them and pointed his stringer at them, "Any last words rangers?"

Wasp was then shot back, and they looked and saw James with his beast blaster pointed at Wasp.

"Did someone call an exterminator?" James asked jokily.

The other got up and ran over to him.

"James, what are you doing here?" asked Damien.

"I'm here help you guys," he said.

"But what about your fear?" Trevor asked.

"I couldn't just stand by and let the city be attack just because of a fear. I'm going face my fear and fight!" James declared, and the others smiled and nodded.

The other rangers then turned towards the aliens.

"We'll help you out, too. Let's go guys!" said Trevor.

"Alright!" the other two rangers as they summoned their morphers.

"Beast Force Awaken!" they said.

"BEAST FORCE!" they all said.

"I'll take Wasp, you guys take Destructor!" said James and the other nodded.

The rangers brought out their swords and ran at their targets.

Wasp brought his stinger down and James blocked it with his sword. James move the stringer to the side and kicked Wasp. Wasp sent to the ground he jumped up and shot at James. James was able to dodge the shot and changed his sword into a gun and fired at Wasp and he landed on his back. Wasp slowly got up and glared at James. He spread his wings and flew in the air and brought his stinger at James. James rolled out the way and Wasp's stinger was planted in the ground. Wasp tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge. James fired at him again which cause Wasp's stinger to be freed.

"Rhino Boomerangs!"

James summoned his weapons and ran at Wasp. Wasp ran at him and he tried to stab James, but he used one of his weapons to block his stinger. Wasp threw a punch, but James used the other weapon to smack the hand away. Wasp kicked James back and James slashed Wasp. James then kicked Wasp back and Wasp shot at James. James' weapons glowed, and he used to block his shots. With his weapons still glowing, James brought them back and threw him at Wasp. The boomerangs hit Wasp in an X shape on his chest and Wasp feel to the ground and was destroyed.

Destructor was kicked back by the other rangers and saw that Wasp was defeated. He then pressed on his communicator.

"Wasp is down, fire the laser," he said into it.

Back in space

An ingot pressed the button. The cannon then fired the laser at Wasp.

In the city

The laser hit where Wasp was destroyed, and he came back as a giant.

"Later rangers," said Destructor as he left.

"We need megazord power NOW!" said the rangers.

"Falcon zord power up!" said Trevor.

"Lion zord power up!" said Damien.

"Dolphin zord power up!" said Nia.

Their zords arrived and the rangers jumped into them and the zords combine into the megazord.

"Beast Force Megazord power up!" said the rangers.

The megazord kicked at Wasp but he blocked it and punched the megazord back. He then used his stinger and slashed the megazord he then stabbed the megazord's arms and kicked the megazord down.

James was looking at the fight with worry.

"There's gotta be something I can do," he said.

"James, we have a present for you," said Addy.

"Really what is it?" he asked.

He then heard a rumbling sound and turn around.

"Your new rhino zord!" said Addy.

The rhino zord had the head of a rhino connected to white and green missile truck with 2 white missile pods on the back.

"Cool!" James said.

"We have been working on this for some time, now go James and help your friends," said Chronos.

"Right!" James nodded.

He then jumped into his zord.

"Rhino zord power up!" James said.

He drove his zord over to the others.

"This is the end for you rangers!" Wasp said as he brought his stinger down.

"I don't think so! Missiles fire!" said James.

His zord fired at Wasp and he fell to the ground and the ranger slowly got up.

"Nice zord James," said Trevor.

"Thanks," he said.

Chronos then came in though the communicators, "Ranger you can combine with James' zord."

Their eyes widen.

"Really Chronos?" asked Nia.

"Well why don't we try it out," said Damien.

"Alright, let's do it guys!" exclaimed Trevor.

"Beast Force Megazord!" the rangers said.

"Rhino zord!" James said.

"Combine!" all of them said.

The rhino zord's head and missile pods came of the truck part separated and went onto the megazord's arms. The bottom of the green part folded near the wheels and slid up the white parts and revealed hands. The rhino head then attached to the megazord's right shoulder. James was sent the cockpit with the other rangers.

"Beast Force Megazord with Rhino power, ready!" the rangers said.

"You think that's going to stop me?!" Wasp asked.

Wasp ran at the megazord and threw his stinger at the megazod but the megazord used its arms to block it and the stinger was destroyed.

"Impossible!" Wasp screamed.

"Very possible, rhino punch," said James.

The fists of the megazord glowed and it punched Wasp back. The rangers summoned the missile pod and pointed them at Wasp as he got up.

"Rhino missiles fire!" the ranger said.

The missiles hit Wasp and he was destroyed. The rangers cheer and back int the cave Carson's body was back to normal.

In space

Destructor was thrown into a wall.

"Master forgive me!" he pleaded.

"You have failed me, and now you shall be punished," Incisor said.

Back on Earth

"I'm so proud of you," Addy said as she hugged James.

He blushed, "Well I let my fear distract me from being a ranger."

"Well I'm glad you were able to get over it," Trevor said.

"Yea no wasp scares me now," James said.

"Oh, look out James there's a wasp behind you," said Damien.

James turned around and saw a wasp flying at him. He paled and ran away from it. The other began to laugh.

"I guess he's not completely over it yet," said Nia.

"Yea but he will eventually," said Carson.
