I do not own the Power Rangers, Saban and Bandai do. However, I do own the
Solar Rangers and all related to it.
Thanks to Holder of the Great Power for comments. The layout has already

Fear the Scorpion Part 1
'As you should all know, the scorpion is a deadly insect. The venom in its tail is sometimes fatal to animals and in some cases, even humans.' Explained the teacher as he took out a small cage. Beneath the yellow sand, there was clearly a gigantic scorpion inside. 'Agh! Gross!' exclaimed Peter as he peered into the cage, everyone giggled. 'In the next few lessons, we will be doing research on this scorpion. Don't worry, everyone will get a chance to examine it up close and personal.' The teacher assured as he shooed the class back to their seats. After Class 'I can't wait to examine that scorpion!' Exclaimed Jacky, 'It's always been my dream to touch one.' 'Well, I won't want that. Just imagine what would happen if it suddenly stung me? Or if those disgusting pincers ripped a big chunk of flesh outta me?' joked Peter, as he pretended to swing an invisible pincer away. 'Derek, you okay? You're awfully quiet!' asked Milton suddenly when he saw Derek staring into thin air. 'Derek? DEREK!' he screamed into his ear. 'Wha? What's the matter?' growled Derek as he snapped back to reality. 'Are you sick or something?' questioned Jacky, 'Maybe you should see a doctor.' 'Or. maybe we should get Kelly over here.' Grinned Peter. He then put up a phony girl voice. 'Oh, Derek, are you ok? Just let me see! Hahaha!' That was enough for Derek. 'Fine, I'll tell you what the problem is, I'm afraid of the scorpion. Are you satisfied yet?' 'Why? You're always so tough, how could you be scared of a small insect?' Derek took a deep breath, as if finally having to tell someone a deadly secret. 'It all happened when I was about four years old. I was having a picnic with my family, my mom even brought my teddy bear for the trip. While we were eating, I picked up the toy. Then I felt something moving from the bear to my arm, I looked down and saw a scorpion. I tried to swap it away, but it suddenly stung me. That sting got me lying in hospital for almost a whole week. I still have the marks.' 'he sighed as he pulled up his shirt. For real, there was a small wound on his arm. 'So this scorpion encounter you had freaked you out? Now you're scared of scorpions?' laughed Jacky. 'Our macho man has a soft spot!' 'Haha!' fake laughed Derek. 'Very funny!' While they were talking, none of them noticed a small fly-like insect hovering above them, listening clearly to everything they said. Down at the underground chamber, Astroda and his henchmen gathered together as they planned their next move. 'So, the Crescent Ranger has scorpion-phobia.' Astroda said. 'This might be a chance to destroy the Solar Rangers once and for all!' 'A very good plan master.' Agreed Kapalar. 'With their leader out of the way, it won't be hard to finish off the others.' 'Shut up! I did not ask for your comments!' yelled Astroda. 'Now, let's get that scorpion.' The evil maniac stood up from his throne and walked over to the entrance of the chamber. With a wave of his staff, surges of energy instantly shot over the town and directly at the scorpion. The insect grew larger and larger until it broke out of its cage. Pincers clicking menacingly, tail swinging with force, the humanoid scorpion smashed the door open, and headed out of the school. 'Must destroy all rangers!' it reminded itself. Meanwhile, the four boys were playing football at the school fields, unaware of the danger that lied ahead. 'Alright, try to catch my new super Z ball!' boasted Peter as he threw the ball at Jacky! 'Careful there, it's really hard to catch!' The ball dived forward, but to everyone's surprise, didn't even make it to Jacky. It landed on the ground with a loud thump! 'Hahaha! You really are a wonderful player!' grinned Jacky sarcastically as he ran over to pick up the ball. Suddenly, the Solarizers on their wrists started to beep. Looking at Derek, the four of them headed over to the changing rooms. Checking that no one was inside, Derek pressed the answer button. 'What's up Axlar?' he asked. From the other side, the voice of their mentor emerged. 'Rangers, there is a monster near your area. I want you to stop it before anyone gets hurt.' 'We're on it! But what about Kelly and Rachel?' asked Milton. 'I'll contact them to assist you as soon as possible. The four of you better hold off the monster first.' Said Axlar. 'No problem.' Derek turned to the others, 'You guys ready? Solarize!' 'Crescent Powers Now!' 'Sun Powers Now!' Uranus Powers Now!' Venus Powers Now!' Meanwhile, Scorpinox was heading over to a small restaurant, the people all ran at the sight of the monster. It picked a man up with it's sharp pincers, and lowered its head. 'Where are the rangers?' it rasped. Filled with fear, the man's whole body trembled. 'I-I don't know. Please don't hurt me.' He pleaded. 'I won't hurt you, I'll just kill you!' roared Scorpionx. As it arched back its tail, something slammed the monster onto the ground, making it let go of the man. 'Stop right there!' cried the Sun Ranger as he stood up. The three other rangers joined him. 'Rangers, kill, destroy!' howled Scorpinox as it charged full speed at the rangers. All of them ducked, except Derek. He was glued to the spot. In a swift motion, it knocked him away with such force that he flew back! 'Derek, you okay?' asked Milton as he helped him up. 'Alright guys. This thing is tough, be careful! Let's go!' The three rangers ran forward, but were stunned to see their leader cowering backwards. 'Hey, what's wrong with you man?' cried Peter angrily, 'We've got to defeat him together!' Ignoring his fellow rangers, the Crescent Ranger continued to back off. 'That's a scorpion. I am not going to defeat it.' He trembled. With no choice left, the three tried to seize Scorpionox, but it was way too powerful, there was no way they could defeat it alone. Suddenly, Scorpionox fired it's tail directly at the Venus Ranger. In an instant, he fell down unconscious. Dragging him back, the Sun Ranger and the Uranus Ranger turned backwards. 'Hey! Need some help?' cried the Neptune Ranger as she and the Mars ranger headed over to their friends. 'What took you girls so long? Anyway, be careful. Watch out for the tail. Look what happened to Jacky.' Warned Peter. 'Where's Derek?' asked Kelly. 'He isn't hurt is he?' 'Forget about him. He is scared of the scorpion and is hiding somewhere.' Said Milton. 'Finished talking yet?' roared Scorpionox as he advanced on the rangers. One by one, the rangers scattered as Scorpionx started to attack. Even with their Solar Sabers, they were still overpowered by it. Scorpionox was too quick, carefully, it aimed its tail and struck at each of the rangers. Soon, none of them were standing. 'Now, only one more left.' Purred Scorpinox as he headed towards the cowering Crescent Ranger. 'Say goodbye!'
