Chapter Fifteen: That's Gotta Hurt

Chris stood up and looked at the creature it was big, smelly, and ugly. Pure evil radiated from it Chris could have sworn that the area had dropped several degrees. The six rangers lined up and waited as the monster stood up to its full height. The creature defiantly towered over the Rangers. Chris hadn't seen such a scary monster since; well she was six and had nightmares. This creature smelt of blood the stench was old worn like a cologne Chris had to suppress a shudder. The green glowing eyes didn't make her feel better about the situation.

"Oh joy," she mumbled as she settled into a fighting stance.

"So you little ones are the Power Rangers" it well was technically said but the voice was that of what Chris truly considered a demon just out right threatening. This creature was old and much stronger than the other demons. For the first time in over five years Christal Zitana Steele worry about the fight she had stepped into. The creature charged and it was all the others could do to get out of the way of its claws, Chris simply vaulted over it. She bare had time to register that the creature had swung back its leg as she flipped and rolled dropping low as she came up. Keep on her haunches she began to move in a circle with the demon both moved slowly around each other. Suddenly it's large fist sailed at Ryan who hadn't realized until too late and ended up with a nasty cut on his face. Deciding what the best option was Chris spoke.

"Alright guys let's morph." Chris said and with that the six morphed and the monster began to slash, bash and generally kick the rangers asses. Even Chris was hard press to block its attacks she was probably the most nimble among them. Only a few minutes into the fight and they were all over black marks scattered all over they're uniforms.

Joel never in his life thought he'd be fighting demons. Nor did he ever think he'd become a Power Ranger. Then again he didn't think he'd be fighting anything, this demon was worse than Diabolico, Olympius, Vypra, and Loki not to mention Tri'ka. He was sore all over the monster had slashed, bashed, and tossed him and the others around like rag dolls. Joel was defiantly starting to have sympathy for toys more and more. Joel glanced up from where he was struggling to get on his feet. Chad was being hoisted up in the air and thrown at Kelsey and Dana, who barely could catch him since they were trying to rush the monster. Chris and Ryan were arguing about shooting while the others were in the way. The two barely moved before the monster plowed into them. Ryan managed to get out of the way but Chris didn't manage so well. The monster grabbed her by the neck as holster her up as he strangled her. Ryan converted his axe to blaster mode and prepared to fire but his shot wasn't clear nor was any of the other four. The monster looked at him and laughed and began to taunt him. Chris in the mean while pulled her self up and began to kick the monster up side the head literally. The creature took her and threw her across the field into a tree Chris contorted her body and flipped off the tree and in a few quick motions she flipped out her gun and shot him a few times. The monster had been in the mist of charging the other Rangers she had managed to catch him off guard. The monster howled angrily as she shot him a few more times and it started charging her again this time she was ready and converted her blaster to baton mode and struck the monster a twice more as she side stepped the attack.

"I will return know and fear the name Ars'kar Rangers." He said as he disappeared. Chris sagged against the nearest tree and turned to the others.

"Well shit" She said as she limped over together they demorphed and slowly made their way to the Rover all pilled in Kelsey and Dana taking pity on the others climbed in the back as Chad slowly sank into his seat. Chris sat beside him as Joel and Ryan climbed in front. Ryan took off and heard Chris mutter a few cuss words as she struggled with the seat belt. He had to agree to that and as far as agreeing with her that was the extent. Ryan drove to the base none of them really talked for it had been a long, long day.

As the lift finally stopped the Rangers solemnly climbed out of the Rover and all the techs stepped back giving them room.
