Chapter 5: When Demons Are Away, The Bounty Hunter Will Play
Back on his spaceship, Onslaught planned the next location he would target. He remembered hearing about a place once full of much evil. A place called Mariner Bay. It was likely he would run into something interesting in this area. Setting his coordinates to that specific area, he quickly looked back at his earlier catch. The four rangers stood in a glass prison located behind Onslaught, unconscious and unaware of what was happening.
Mariner Bay was a beautiful place to be during the hot summers. It was this location that Jason decided to spend his vacation. He had asked all of his old friends to come along with him, but it seemed like they all had plans of their own. Kat was the only one who decided to go. She had nothing planned for the summer and decided to do something interesting in her presently boring life.
Jason and Kat stood in the center of the city where a festival was taking place, their cameras flashing as they took several of pictures of all the excitement happening around them.
All this was interrupted by a massive object blocking out the sunlight. It looked like an aircraft used for space travel and it was very dark in color. Two large guns were located on its side, ready to fire at any given time. Citizens panicked and ran all over the place, trying to escape its path.
As the area cleared completely of citizens, save for Jason and Kat, the shipped stopped right above the two. As the ship stood there, unmoving, a white flash of light exited the ship and landed on the ground where Kat and Jason stood. Just as the light appeared so did a man, cloaked in black. The two jumped back assuming a fighting stance, ready to defend if necessary.
"Show me this great power within you!" he demanded from them. He didn't know for sure that they were power rangers, but he sensed great power from within them. These two would certainly help him make a lot of money in the galactic black market. His gun lie upon his hand pointed at his two new targets. He was ready to fire at them if they ever became hostile.
A siren blared through the air and a yellow jeep came speeding through the streets. Inside the jeep sat a man covered in a light, red jacket. He stopped his vehicle beside the two tourists and jumped out. "You might want to get out of here," he told them. His expression was one of seriousness and concern. "I'll take care of this."
"Who are you?" Kat questioned the young man. She was already prepared to fight the threat that stood before her. "Don't mess around kid."
"I'm Carter Grayson, Lightspeed Rescue, Red Ranger," Carter introduced himself. He revealed his morpher to further prove his claim.
"You're a ranger?" Kat said slightly amused. Her accent could barely be noticed and she was unconvinced at this young boys claim to be a power ranger. She thought he was joking. He certainly didn't look like a power ranger. Much less the red ranger. "This is really not a time to mess around. We can handle this!"
"Indeed it isn't" he replied to the somewhat insulting comments. He then yelled "Lightspeed Rescue" as he activated his morpher. A red energy field engulfed Carter's body as he turned from a regular human to the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger.
Jason and Kat stood there, amazed that this kid turned out to be an actual power ranger. They briefly nodded at each other and prepared themselves. "Come on Kat," Jason reached for his golden staff. "It's morphin time!"
"Zeo Ranger One! Pink!" Kat yelled as she put one wrist over another to activate her morpher. She combined the first half of her morpher with the other then a sudden flash of pink filled the area. In a matter of seconds the pink Zeo ranger appeared.
It was Jason's turn to morph. A sudden feeling of excitement began to build up within him at the thought of being able to use his powers once again. "Gold Ranger Power!" This time golden waves of energy surrounded his body turning him into the legendary gold ranger. Soon the gold ranger was back in action once again.
The three rangers stood by each others side looking confident in their ability to take out this new threat.
"What do you want with us?" Jason demanded to know.
The dark man was speechless and answered with a blast from his weapon. As the shots fired a great battle between the dark figure and the protectors of the earth ensued.
