Power Rangers Thunder Force #6: intellivore
Zanek is working in a mobile lab that he has set up. He is working on a console looking for something.
The ghost appears next to him.
"My mentor. I have got a partial linkup with our moon base." Zanek says happy.
"Is it enough to transport there again?" The ghost asks.
"No. It's too badly damaged from the attack. I am trying to access anything I can that can help me and the
others." Zanek says.
"Good keep up at it." The ghost says.
Meanwhile in the sick bay of the explorer ship, a woman is standing over the unconscious body of Turok.
"Oh Turok. I wish you would wake up. This ship is out of control under the leadership of Thunder." The
woman says.
Suddenly Turlok's eyes snap open. Then he sits up quickly.
"Oh my god. You have come back to me." The woman says hugging Turlok.
Turlok throws her back and stands up. He walks out of the sick bay with a glowing inner light.
"What's wrong my love?" The woman asks worried.
Turlok enters the bridge and the officers all turn their weapons on him.
"Have you decided to help me?" Thunder asks.
"Yes I have." Turlok responds in Astayanax's voice.
"Astayanax? Is that you?" Thunder asks.
And now for episode 6…
Carlos is working at the local university. He is helping shelve books and other duties.
"I want to thank you for helping us. We have never had a very good person to do this job." A librarian
says.
"Hey no problem. I love books." Carlos says smiling.
A very well dressed man walks in and sits down with some professor books.
"Who is he?" Carlos asks.
"He is one of the greatest professors this university has. Before him we never really had any truly good
teachers. We hope to get more like him and become a very well known university." The librarian responds.
Carlos walks over to the professor.
"Hey. My name is Carlos." Carlos says extending a hand.
"Oh hello. Are you student here?" The professor asks.
"Heck no. I wish I could afford the tuition here." Carlos responds.
"Have you looked into any kind of scholarship?" The professor asks.
"No. I have been pretty busy lately." Carlos responds.
"Well if you do end up here ever, I hope to get you as a student." The professor says.
They shake hands and Carlos and goes back to his work. The whole scene is being watched on the view-
screen of the ship.
"Him. I want him to be my next subject." Astayanax says.
"But we can't wait another seven years." Thunder says.
"We won't have to this time. I have developed new kinds of spores. These act like viruses but they
enhance the immune system instead of attacking it. The stronger the immune system of the person, the
more powerful the monster is." Astayanax says.
"That sounds like a great idea." Thunder says.
"Just have your transporter officer transport the spore and it will seek out the subject." Astayanax says.
"You heard him. Do it." Thunder orders the transporter officer.
The transporter officer beams down the pod. The pod begins its search. Meanwhile Bulk and Skull are
standing near the hospital where the Dr. is in.
"I think maybe we should give him another chance." Bulk says.
"Are you mad? He was holding us against our will." Skull asks.
"Yeah but what if he's right? What if he can do what he says?" Bulk says.
Skull shrugs his shoulders and they enter the hospital. They go to the lab but find it all boarded up.
"Are you looking for Frankenstein?" A nurse asks.
"Yeah." Bulk responds.
"He moved out of the hospital to remake his lab somewhere else." The nurse says.
"Oh." Bulk says looking down.
"Oh wait. You wouldn't happen to be Bulk and Skull?" The nurse asks.
"Yeah that's us." Bulk responds.
"He left a message that if you returned to come to this address." The nurse says.
She gives them a piece of paper and they snatch it up.
"Cool. Let's go." Skull says.
They leave the hospital. Skull catches a glimpse of the flying spore.
"Hey Bulky. What is that orb like thing that's flying around?" Skull asks.
Bulk turns around but the spore has already turned the corner.
"I don't see anything. Now shut up and help me find this place. It seems to be on the outskirts of town."
Bulk says.
The spore finds its victim as the Professor is heading home. The Professor is startled when he sees the
flying orb. The orb burrows in his chest.
"Arghhh." The Professor yells.
Carlos is near by and hears him scream. He rushes to the location of the scream and is just in time to see
the Professor mutate into intellivore.
"Oh man this is bad. Force ranger, green." Carlos yells.
After he is clad in his armor, he calls the other rangers.
"Hey I need some help here. I just saw someone mutate into a monster right before my eyes." Carlos yells
into the communicator.
Soon after, three of the four remaining rangers appear.
"Hey where's Zanek?" T.J. wonders.
"I'm trying to get an up-link back with our moon base. Getting one could prove very useful. I will come if
you really need me." Zanek responds over the communicator.
"We'll see how we do for now." T.J. says.
They start blasting the monster with weapons but they don't seem to do much to him.
"Be careful. That's a human in there." Carlos says.
"Man I thought this was over." T.J. whines.
The monster just stands there taking the blows.
"Why isn't he attacking?" Ashley yells.
The monster answers by flinging brain like objects at the rangers that attach to their heads.
"What the?" Carlos yells.
The brain objects start to pulsate and seem to suck something out of the ranger's heads.
"Me feeling not very good." T.J. says in a stupid sounding voice.
"Hey you have more bad English." Carlos says.
"You speak for self." Ashley says.
"What happening to we?" Cassie asks weakly.
"Making we dumb." T.J. blurts out.
"Zanek need help we do." Carlos yells into communicator.
"What's wrong?" Zanek asks confused to Carlos's bad English.
"Monster making we dumb." Carlos says.
"Okay I am on my way." Zanek says.
He appears unmorphed but before he can morph the monster attaches another brain onto Zanek.
"Ranger red force." Zanek stumbles out.
Of course nothing happens since he didn't say it right.
"What on going with I?" Zanek says.
"No! We is doomed." Ashley yells.
Meanwhile in the mobile base, the computer has found something. The schematics of fighting mobile suits
and the word zords appear on the screen. The computer does a scan for Zanek and finds out that he may be
in trouble. The words Zord retrieval come on screen. On the moon deep beneath the surface, five suits that
have not been used for centuries come to life. On board the zords does a scan of the local area, looking for
Zanek or anyone with his power signature. Once they find it they fly out of the bay and into space. They
fly through the atmosphere of the planet.
"What that?" Carlos asks.
"Zords they are." Zanek responds.
The mobile suits land next to the rangers and open up their bays. The intellivore tries to latch a brain onto
the suits but they shock it off their surfaces. When the suits realize that their masters are too dumb to do
anything, they pick them up and put them inside the suits.
"Wow cool this." Carlos says.
The suits do a scan of their occupants and find the cause of their dumbness. One by one the brains are
extracted from the rangers and their intelligence's come back.
"Wow these are really cool." Ashley says.
"Cool so are we all back to normal?" Carlos says.
"Yep." Cassie says.
"Roger." T.J. says.
"Affirmative." Zanek says.
"Then let's finish this monster off." Carlos says.
"Computer. Scan monster and come up with an appropriate program to destroy the virus." Zanek says.
Suddenly a beam of energy strikes from above and intellivore becomes big.
"Computer. Mega size." Zanek says.
The mobile suits change configuration until they are standing upright and big. Suddenly the monster shoots
out another bigger brain. This time instead of trying to latch on, it starts firing lightning at the zords.
"Oh no. It's draining our energy." Carlos says.
"Not all of ours. Just mine. It must know that my zord is the one that is plotting on how to destroy it."
Zanek says.
Zanek's on board screen suddenly comes up with an insufficient power to continue process message.
"Darn it. He's drained too much energy for my system to continue." Zanek says.
"What can we do?" Carlos asks.
"We can join into one big zord. Share the energy. The system was almost done." Zanek says.
"That's cool. Well what are we waiting for?" Carlos says.
"Computer activate megazord transformation." Zanek says.
"Megazord transformation has begun." The computer says.
Outside the zords interlock with each other and form one big robot with a massive cannon on one hand and
a sword on the other. The rangers are all together in the cockpit now.
"Yeah now this is more like it." Carlos says.
"Megazord transformation complete. Continuing anti viral program." The computer says.
"We need to keep him from launching another brain. Computer fire paralyzing beam." Zanek says.
The cannon fires a beam that fills the entire monster with electricity and seems to stun him for now.
"Computer. Do you have enough power to monitor the monster's activity as well as continuing to do anti
viral program at same speed?" Zanek says.
"No. Insufficient power." The computer warns.
"Computer. Divert all power from the shields and tell if that gives enough power." Zanek orders.
"Yes that is sufficient. Power diverted to processor. Warning will not be able to repel another attachment
projectile." The computer warns.
After a minute the computer come to life again.
"Anti virus program completed. Warning detecting signs of life in monster again." The computer says.
"Fire the anti virus weapon." Zanek yells quickly.
The cannon fires again and the resulting hit seems to work. The monster disassembles and leaves just the
professor on the ground confused.
"All right." Carlos says high fiving the others.
The next day Carlos visits the Professor again to see if he's okay.
"Hey. I had the strangest dream last night. Well that's not important. What brings you here again?" The
professor asks.
"I have decided to try out for a scholarship." Carlos responds.
"That's great. I hope you get it." The professor says smiling.
"I hope so too." Carlos says.
On the surface of a nearby planet, the wreckage of the megaship is just cooling down. Andros, Karone and
Zhane crawl from the wreckage, badly hurt. Andros turns and looks at the wreckage.
"Deca! No." Andros yells getting on his knees.
Andros races towards the wreckage but Karone and Zhane hold him back.
"No. You will die if you go back into the wreckage." Zhane says.
"I don't care. I lost my ship and Deca." Andros says crying.
"I care. I just got you back again as my brother. I won't lose you." Karone says.
"Luckily the power vault is made of a very powerful substance. It will safe until we can get someone to
life it up." Zhane says.
The end.
Next week a new girl catches T.J.'s eye. But is she his type or nothing but trouble?
