Power Rangers Thunder Force #13: Power of the mind.
Bulk and Skull are in Frankenstein's lab watching him run around doing his experiments.
"Uh is there anything we can do for you right now?" Bulk asks.
Frankenstein doesn't answer at first and keeps on running around. Finally he stops and looks around
scratching his head. He nearly jumps out of his skin when he sees Bulk and Skull.
"Oh sorry. Forgot you were here. I have developed vaccines in the past but I have never had subjects to
test them on." Frankenstein says.
"Uh subjects?" Bulk asks backing away.
"Yeah don't you need to infect people with the vaccine to see if it works?" Skull asks.
"Well I do have an assortment of diseases. None of them fatal of course. I was hoping you could let me
infect you with one of them then try out my vaccine." Frankenstein responds.
"Uh okay. I just remembered that the professor told us to be home early today." Bulk says.
"No he didn't." Skull says.
Bulk hits Skull and pulls him towards the exit.
"I need you. You may end up being heroes. I have done some studies on the progression of virus
infections. They are growing in number and in strength. There is a big one coming and without my
vaccine, we don't stand a chance." Frankenstein says.
"Yeah but I am allergic to being sick. Besides, what if you vaccine doesn't work?" Bulk asks.
"Nothing I will infect you with will be fatal. But it will tell me how greatly it will work or won't work
against fatal diseases." Frankenstein says.
"Okay I guess." Bulk says.
The doctor without saying anything rushes over and injects Bulk with one needle and Skull with another.
And now for episode 13…
"I am proud to introduce the amazing Fredini." A voice says.
A huge spotlight lights up the stage and reveals a guy in a funny looking uniform. He takes a bow and
stands up. He frowns when he sees the almost nobody is in the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen I will astound you tonight with the wonders of my incredible mind." Fredini says.
Nobody claps. Not even the few people in the audience.
"Okay. First of all I will make this ball float from the table right in front of your eyes." Fredini says.
He closes his eyes and concentrates really hard. After a few seconds the ball lifts up and flies around the
table. After a minute the ball comes to rest on the table.
"Uh thank you thank you." Fredini says even though nobody is applauding.
He looks around with anger.
"Okay fine. Next I will make my lovely assistant levitate off of the stage." Fredini says.
A man walks on stage and whispers in Fredini's ear.
"What do you mean she quit?" Fredini asks a bit too loudly.
"Ah okay never mind on that last one. Uh I will make this guy float above the stage." Fredini says.
The guy waves his hands and says no. But Fredini does it anyway. He succeeds and makes the guy float
above the stage. Suddenly the lights go out and that startles Fredini. He drops the guy into the seating area
with quite a crash.
"What's going on here?" Fredini asks.
"It's your show being canceled. I'm sorry but you just don't draw audiences anymore." A voice says.
The house lights come back on and a couple of guys lead Fredini off the stage. Finally the small audience
claps. Later on Fredini is in the office of the manager of the theater.
"What is up with canceling my show?" Fredini asks angry.
"Shows get canceled when there is almost no interest left in them. You were great at first but people got
tired of your old routines. If you want to make it in this business, you have to change your act around a
bit." The manager responds.
"What do you mean? In England I used the same routine all the time and I was a hit." Fredini says getting
angrier by the minute.
"Well that was England. Here in the U.S. we like variety. I'm sorry but you're fired." The manager says.
"You can't do this to me. I will sue." Fredini yells.
The manager pushes a button and two big guys come in and start dragging Fredini out.
"Hey if you need a reference. Look somewhere else." The manager says chuckling.
Later on Fred is back in his apartment. He is trying to think up new acts. But he can't come up with
anything.
"Damn it. Fire me will you. So I don't have enough variety do I?" Fred asks.
His face turns red.
"I'll show you variety." Fred yells.
Suddenly his mirror and every bit of glass in his house break. But he doesn't seem to notice it. He just
storms out of his house. The scene is being watched on the view-screen of the explorer ship.
"He has a very strong potential to be a strong mind user." Thunder says.
"Yes he does. I sense power in his mind. Power that even he doesn't know he has. But he will."
Astayanax says.
"You know what to do." Thunder says to Xtlc.
Xtlc nods and disappears.
Meanwhile Fred breaks into the theater with his powers and finds the bedroom of the manager. Using his
powers he keeps the manager asleep while he pulls him onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Fredini yells.
The manager wakes up with a start. He yelps when he finds himself tied to a chair on the stage of his own
theater.
"I have been informed by my manager that I have been fired. So this is my final performance." Fredini
says.
"Fred. Are you crazy? Let me go and I promise I won't press any charges." The manager says struggling
with his bonds.
"Oh I'm sorry but you need a little bit more of a variety in your lies. You are fired." Fredini says laughing.
Fred appears next to the manager and concentrates. Suddenly the curtains go up in flames. The ropes
around the curtains unwind and the flaming curtain falls and lands next to the manager.
"Arghhh. Please. I'm serious. I will do anything you want me to do. I'll give you your job back." The
manager yells desperately.
"Nice offer but there won't be a theater for me to perform here much longer. Neither will you be around
much longer to give me that job back." Fredini says now heading towards the exit.
Outside Janus is walking around that evening and sees smoke coming out of the window of the old theater.
"Oh my god." Janus gasps.
She runs to the nearest pay phone and calls the fire fighters. Meanwhile Xtlc has caught up with Fred.
"Hello friend." Xtlc says.
"Who are you? Did you see what I did?" Fred asks.
"Yes I did. But I won't turn you in. In fact I can help you. I can grant you any wish you want." Xtlc says.
"Then I wish I would have true power and be able to wow anybody." Fred yells laughing madly.
"You asked for it." Xtlc says with a smirk.
He snaps his fingers and disappears. A spore merges with Fred and his body starts to change. His head
becomes bigger.
"Hum. That fire isn't big enough. Want a light?" Fred yells.
His hands burst with flames and he envelops the building with his flames. The building outside easily goes
up in flames with the old wood.
"Yeah burn baby burn." Fred yells.
The sound of sirens breaks the silence of the night.
"Ah isn't is just like the party to be ruined by some crashers?" Fred asks.
He disappears and reappears in front of the trucks. The drivers slam on the breaks.
"Sorry boys but this is one fire you aren't gonna put out." Fred says.
Zanek appears.
"There is someone in that building. I don't know how. I just know. I am gonna go and save him." Janus
says.
"No. Are you mad?" Zanek says.
"Then join me." Janus says.
Zanek nods. They rush in the building and hear a man screaming. They rush onto the stage and begin to
free him as the flames lick all around them.
"Thank god you are here. For some reason the flames didn't get me before now." The manager says.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Zanek says.
Suddenly in a loud explosion, the flames grow near and the shock wave knocks out Zanek.
"Zanek!" Janus yells.
The rangers appear outside the theater, having heard the call for the fire rescue over the radio. Carlos pulls
out a scanner and scans the building for any life signs.
"Zanek is in there." Carlos yells over the din of the fire.
"We have to rescue him." Karone yells.
"But first you are gonna have to rescue yourselves." Fred says with a blast of fire.
The rangers barely escape the fire blast.
"You are too hot to handle buddy. Water power." Karone yells.
Her sword fires a stream of strong water that envelops Fred. That seems to put out his fire.
"Oh. I'm am so defeated. I've lost." Fred says.
With a blast of mental energy, he throws Karone back against the wall violently.
"NOT!" Fred yells.
Carlos suddenly tightens up and his face turns a different color.
"Can't breathe. He's crushing wind pipe." Carlos gasps out.
Inside the theater, Janus starts to scream and change. She quickly becomes the gray warrior. She easily
picks up Zanek and the manager and carries them outside. She deposits them on the ground on the other
side of the street then runs towards the main battle.
"Okay whoever you are. I won't let you destroy such good heroes such as these." Grey says.
Carlos collapses when Fred releases him. Fred then focuses his power on Grey. At first Grey flies
backwards but she gets control and stands her ground.
"Oh. Someone that is equal to me." Fred says.
"No. Better than you for I will be more powerful than any monster that anyone can throw at me." Janus
says.
Fred starts to sweat with exertion. Meanwhile Zanek wakes up and sees what's going on. He pulls out his
computer.
"Computer. Scan monster and develop an anti virus." Zanek says.
He rushes towards the battle but instead stands back as he sees the other rangers are doing badly.
"Better stay back and let the gray warrior do it for now." Zanek says to himself.
Grey starts getting a bloody nose but still holds her ground.
"Ah. It looks like I am doing some damage to you after all." Fred says.
Grey collapses after a minute but before Fred can turn his attention to the others, a needle strikes him.
"Matter wins over mind this time." Zanek says.
Fred turns back to normal. Later on the police take Fred away. The rangers can't do anything since he did
try to kill the manager before he was turned.
"He is himself again. But why can't I get the feeling that we didn't do him any good after all?" Janus says.
"We did him plenty good. Don't you forget it." Zanek says.
Meanwhile the battle with Grey is being re-watched on the view-screen.
"Her. She is the one I want. She has the most incredible mind power I have ever seen." Astayanax says.
"But sir. We can't get her unless she's in civilian form and we don't know who she is." An officer says.
"Don't worry. I have ways to find that out." Thunder says.
The end…
Next time a monster is created to find out who the gray ranger is. Will he find out?
Bulk and Skull are in Frankenstein's lab watching him run around doing his experiments.
"Uh is there anything we can do for you right now?" Bulk asks.
