The Passion of Red and Yellow "Of Noodles and Wind Ninjas" A/N the nickname Conboy was made up by Makuku (that I know of), so I credit him with that. Makuku also came up with the character Makuku Oliver. Also for everyone's sake the Dino Thunder morph call is written like this, While the Ninja Storm calls shall be written like this. I know I use like a couple words a lot ....I'lll leave it as is now, I got to dig out my theraus (or however you spell it) and change it later.
Kira sighed as she worked over an oven of boiling water. Why did Conner have to get hurt? Now she was the one assigned to "take care of him". Why did it have to be her, other than the fact she now lived in the same house than him? It had to be because she was a girl, and supposed to be able to cook and clean.
After staring at the pot of water, convinced it would never boil, she walked into the living room and started vacuuming, trying to clean up for Conner. As she pushed the vacuum back and forth, she couldn't help but wonder why Conner had took those two blows meant for her. She snapped back into reality when Hunter came into the room. He took a big sniff and noticed something was off.
"Kira, why do I smell something burning?" Kira went wide-eyed and dropped the vacuum, running into the kitchen, seeing a small fire. She quickly threw a towel full of grease and tried to thwack it out, only to make the problem worse. She then grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on the leaking rag watching even more of the floor catch on fire. Hunter sighed as he grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed it at the base of the fire, knocking them out.
Kira sighed as she walked back into the living room, her face suddenly meeting with a huge cloud of dust. She winced, suddenly remembering that she hadn't turned the vacuum off. She walked through the dust and turned off the vacuum, which some how had been switched to reverse. Hunter walked in and sighed, seeing the dirtiest room is not going to like this..." Kira sighed and nodded. How could she do this to Conner? He saved her life, and she ruins his house. Sighing, she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a remarkably unharmed pack of ramen noodles. As she went to leave the kitchen, Conner's "daughter", Sakura, walked in, looking at the strange new marking on the floor.
"Mommy why is there a big black spot on the ground?" Sakura asked. Kira sighed, she didn't want to look like an idiot in front of her biggest fan, so she decided to tell a little white lie.
"Oh that, I was just testing the Thundermax Saber gun mode to see how big of booms I could make..." Sakura laughed as she looked over into the living room.
"So what happened in the living room, did you test your awesome daggers?" Sakura asked.
"No that was a stupid mistake on the vacuum," Kira sighed as Sakura started laughing again. Kira just sighed as she walked up to Conner's room, not caring if she looked like she had been dragged through the biggest mud puddle in the world. As she walked into Conner's room, she saw his eyes go wide. She went to go speak as she was interrupted by Conner.
"What happened, Kira? I smelled something burning." Conner said.
"I burned the boiling water, Conner, and it spread to your kitchen floor," Kira sighed.
Conner just laughed. "How it is possible to burn water? Geez, you no longer have license to call me an idiot." Suddenly Conner winced, he had forgotten about his wounds. He silently cursed his brother. Kira sighed, wishing she could go over and help, but that wasn't a wise idea while he was still trying to heal his open wounds, and she was, well, covered in dirt...literally.
"Well, Conner, I have to hit the shower..." she said, blushing a little bit. Conner nodded as Hunter walked in.
"Hey, man, I re-vacuumed your living room. Now I remember why Aunt and Uncle Ford never let Kira do any house work..." Hunter said with a smirk, causing him to get punched in the arm by Kira, who had a hurt look on her face. He sighed and looked to Conner. "Ready to go, man? That Dr. Oliver wants to make sure that sword didn't have any toxins in it. Sakura's already buckled up."
Conner nodded as Hunter came over to help him up. Kira took this as the perfect time to head for the shower. By the time Kira had entered the shower, Hunter had helped Conner down the stairs, reaching the newly cleaned living room couch. Conner walked a few steps in complete pain. Wincing in pain, he dropped down on the couch.
"Sorry man, I just can't make it. I'm in too much pain." Hunter nodded and ran over to the phone. He quickly dialed the Black Ranger's phone number. After a few rings, the good doctor answered the phone.
"Hello this is Dr. Thomas Oliver. Let me guess Conner can't make it..." Dr. O smirked. He loved Caller ID.
"Yeah, but you said you wanted to talk to me and Sakura anyway. Should I still come?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah, it's really important that you two show up. Meet me and Ethan here in an half hour," Dr. Oliver replied before hanging up.
"Yo, Conboy, I'm heading to Dr. O with Sakura, he want to talk to about something." Hunter looked over to see if it was okay with Conner. Sakura was his daughter, after all.
"Sure man, just be careful." Conner stated. Hunter quickly ran out the door, and into Conner's Car, driving toward Dr. O's house. When he got there, he quickly walked up to the door, holding Sakura's hand. Sakura looked up, a bit confused.
"Uncle Hunter?" Sakura looked up, her eyes wide with confusion. Hunter regretted looking down at her. No wonder Kira caved into having Sakura call her Mommy. She was just so darn cute.
"Yes, Sakura?"
"Why are we here without daddy?" Hunter laughed, the same question was running through his mind, expect he preferred to call Conner anything but Daddy.
"No clue, Sakura, but hopefully we will find out," he said smiling. He then quickly knocked on the door. To his surprise, instead of Dr. Oliver or Hayley answering the door, there was a teenage boy not much older than Kira standing there. He had long brown hair, with a pair of googles on his face. His attire made up of a blue jean jacket and pants, with a white shirt.
"Let me guess, you're here to see Uncle Tommy. He's downstairs." The teen pointed to the revealed stairs down to the Dino base. Hunter shrugged and walked down them with Sakura, to see Ethan and Dr. Thomas Oliver talking.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do, Dr. O? I don't want to face Kira's wrath..." Ethan said with a lot of worry in his voice, not knowing that Kira's cousin was right behind him.
"Do I want to know what you're planning, or should I fill this under "This is a Dustin Plan" section?" Hunter smirked as he looked at two confused rangers and a giggling girl.
"Actually we were discussing on ways to hook up Conner and your cousin, Hunter." Dr. Oliver said calmly. Ethan turned around, wincing.
"Must you be so blunt Dr. O?" Ethan sighed. Kira's wrath alone was one thing, but both Kira and Hunter... I'm too young to die! I haven't even filled out a will. Hunter looked at Ethan's face and laughed.
"Hey don't worry! I have to admit, except for the fact that Conner's brother is trying to kill Kira, those two are made for each other." Hunter laughed. "And also, I don't really trust that Trent..."
"Right...But we need a plan." Dr. Oliver sighed. This was going to be harder than any thing they faced before.
"Oh, oh, oh, I got a plan to bring Mommy and Daddy together..." Sakura said, waving her arm motioning for the boys to lean down. They listened carefully as Sakura whispered the plan to them. It was crazy, but it was better than locking them in a closet until one of them made a move.
"So are we going with that plan?" Ethan said standing up, looking to the other two rangers.
"Of course, Ethan. Now Hunter, Sakura I think it's time you head home. Remember, you can't let anyone know about this plan," Dr. O stated. Hunter and Sakura nodded and left toward the McKnight residence.
At the McKnight residence...
Kira Ford had just exited the shower, stepping out of the bathroom in her black lace bra and panties, walking down the stairs. She figured that the others would be at Dr. O's so she could freely walk to her room. As she walked down the stairs, she froze when she saw Conner McKnight sitting on the couch, looking in her direction.
Conner looked up and stared at Kira for what seemed like minutes. [I] This definitely makes up for that Boxer incident.[/I] They just stood there until when suddenly, Hunter and Sakura walked in the front door. Hunter quickly took one look at the scene in front of him.
"CONNER MCKNIGHT, STOP STARING AT MY COUSIN'S..."
"MELONS, GET YOUR MELONS RIGHT HERE!" A fruit vendor at the heart of Reefside Park yelled. Suddenly Dustin Brooks walked up to the vendor, along with a stunning look-alike.
"Yeah dude, we'll take two melons each." Dustin said, passing over the money, while the vendor passed him and the look-alike the melons. They walked over to Shane Clark, Tori Hanson, and two Wind Students, Tally and Marah. The Former Wind Rangers and their students just looked at the two boys shaking there heads. The Boys had their melons held up so it looked wrong.
"Dustin, Dan, what are we ever going to do with you?" Shane said, sighing. There was no hope for those two.
"What did we do?" Dan said with an angry look. He looked over to the girls, who just pointed to their chests. Dustin and Dan looked down to see what they were doing.
"Dude, that's just wrong..." Dustin said to Dan, throwing his melons in a bag.
"Whatever you say Sensei Brooks..." Dan sighed. "What exactly are we doing here again?"
"Remember Eric? Apparently he has killed the Thunder Ninja Academy's Sensei's aunt and uncle. We are here to banish him to space. Hunter said we might need backup, and that's why you three students are here." Everyone nodded and started walking toward the McKnight house.
"Oh, you only wish to banish me..." Eric said as he appeared behind the group of teens along with the White Dino Ranger and a group of Tyrannodrones, "...for today...you will all die...T-drones, attack!" The T-Drones charged, and were soon fighting the Wind Rangers and students...
At the McKnight residence...
Kira Ford stepped out of her room, dressed in a new pair of clothes, her face still burning from what happened. She quickly stepped into the living room to apologize to Conner, when her morpher went off. She grumbled a few choice words and brought her morpher to her mouth.
"Kira here, what's up?" Kira sighed. She knew it had something to do with Eric.
"Eric and the White Ranger are attacking what seems to be a bunch of Wind Ninjas." Kira face went sour at the mention of Wind Ninjas.
"Let them take care of themselves they don't need our help, the murderous bastards." Hunter glared at Kira and brought up his morpher, which Hayley modified so he could communicate with the Dino Thunder rangers and herself.
"We're on our way. I assume Dr. Oliver and Ethan are going to met us there?" Hunter asked.
"No there just going send you out there to die...OF COURSE THEY'RE HEADING OUT THERE...just go..." Hayley screamed, causing Hunter and Kira to blink. From what Kira told him, Hayley was pretty sweet, so why was she acting like a stick in the mud? He just sighed as he got ready to morph. Kira had already willed her crystal to expose the morpher. They just looked at each other and got ready to morph.
"DINO THUNDER STORM POWER UP RANGER FORM HA!" The two rangers called out, allowing the Crimson and Yellow energy to encompass their bodies transforming them into the Yellow Dino Thunder and Crimson Thunder Power Rangers. They immediately started running to the park to help Hunter's friends.
By the time they had reached there, Hunter noticed that Marah and some kid that looked like Dustin had already been knocked unconscious. Rage filling his mind, he quickly pulled out his Thunder Staff and started attacking the T-drones watching, them send themselves to their doom, one by one. The Three Wind Rangers looked up to see the Crimson Thunder Ranger fighting. One thought ran through their mind: How the heck did Hunter get his powers back? And who was that Yellow Ranger fighting with them?
Suddenly, they felt themselves being knocked to the ground by the White Dino Ranger. Groaning in pain, they struggled to get up, suddenly noticing that Tally had disappeared. Unexpectedly they heard the laughter of Eric McKnight.
"You fools! Do you really think just because your friend got his power back, that you're going to get yours? Sorry, but I'm the one with the Power now! It's Morphin' time! Dragonzord!" Eric raised the morpher and called out the name willingly, transforming himself into the Green Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger. The three Wind Rangers went wide-eyed at what their former pupil had just done, it's couldn't be...Eric couldn't be a power ranger!
"Dude...did you just see what I just think I saw?" Dustin asked, even more confused than than he normally was.
"Gee, you think, Dustin?" Tori sighed with a hint of frustration and sarcasm. This was not their day, and from the looks of it, The Yellow Ranger and Hunter were too busy keeping the white one at bay now. The three ninja's quickly got into a battle ready position, and charged the Green Ranger.
Dustin first swept the Green Ranger off his feet, while Shane quickly ninja-streaked over and kicked the falling ranger back, while Tori quickly jumped up and landed right on his gut. Eric grunted in pain for a quick second, before throwing Tori into Shane, and brought his boot harshly into Dustin's face, knocking him out. Cackling, he turned to the two Wind Rangers struggling to get up.
"What do you want Eric?" Shane yelled, furious that one of their first students would end up like this.
"Same thing everybody else wants. Power..." Eric sneered. "I want to be known as the one who finally defeated the Power Rangers..."
Suddenly a blast came from nowhere. Eric looked behind him to see the Red and White Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. He sneered. Where the hell did they come from? He quickly pulled out the Dragon Dagger and charged them.
Meanwhile...
Kira wasn't having much luck fighting the White Dino Ranger with Hunter. She could already feel the pain reeling through her body. She got up off of her kneeling position to receive one of the White Ranger's kicks to her gut. She flew back into a tree, demorphing, but smiling as Dr. Oliver and Ethan James arrived at the scene.
"Sorry, we had Zeltrax problems," Ethan chuckled as he helped Hunter slash the ranger to Dr. Oliver, who proceeded to spin-kick to the White Dino Ranger's helmet, knocking him back. The Ranger growled as he got up Damn, the element of surprise got him.
"You may have won the battle, but you will lose the war." The White Ranger threatened, retreating into an Invisi-portal. The Dino Thunder Rangers looked over to see the Green Ranger fighting the Red and White Mighty Morphin' Rangers...and Elsa sneaking up on the Wind Rangers. Kira got furious. If it was anyone who was going to kill the Wind Rangers, it was her.
She went to Ptera-scream, but instead of the Ptera-scream, she ended up singing that strange song again, this time three beams of light exiting her—Blue, red, and yellow. The lights flew into the Wind Rangers, the energy encompassing them once again, transforming them into the Wind Power Rangers. Tori and Shane just looked down at their bodies, seeing that they were once again Power Rangers, but that didn't save them from being slashed across the back by Elsa.
Shane growled as he hit the ground. "What's her problem?" He asked as he pulled himself off the ground.
"I have no clue Shane, but she needs to learn how to accessorize." Tori quipped as tried to pull herself off the ground with the help of her ninja sword. Elsa stared at them, sneering, and then fired a blast from her sword, knocking them down.
"When will you rangers ever learn to shut your pathetic traps?" Elsa sneered at the two conscious Wind Rangers as a blast was fired at her feet. She looked up to see the Pink Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger standing there with her Power Bow.
"Geez, even Rita could dress better than that, talk about tacky!" The pink ranger quipped, hoping to anger Elsa. It worked like a charm. Elsa fired a high-powered blast toward the Pink Ranger, hoping to bring her to her knees, but the Pink Ranger jumped and flipped forward, dodging the blast entirely. The Pink Ranger brought her foot forward as she brought herself back into an upright position, hitting Elsa in the chest and sending her flying back. "Man, she's as dumb as she is ugly!"
Meanwhile, at the McKnight household....
Conner McKnight sat up on the couch, ignoring the pain of his wounds. He knew the others were fighting his brother, and he couldn't stand for it. He was the one who told Eric their secret, so he should be the one to stop him. He slowly brought his bracelet to his lips.
"Hayley, I'm going after Eric..."
"Don't you dare McKnight! I will get Tommy to take your morpher away!"
"You know I hope the next nine months are very quick, for our sakes..." Conner smirked. He had realized who Dr. O's "Fiance" was while lying down, trying to heal his wounds.
"Well, Conner, I guess you should know since you found out... I only have 3 months left to go..."
"Okay that was more information than I needed... Anyway I'm going, whether you like it or not." Conner quickly brought down his morpher and ran out the door. Ignoring the pain that was spreading through out his body, Conner was soon running at an inhuman speed, thanks to his Dino Gem. Hayley just sighed as communication went dead. She figured Conner would do something like this. She just hoped the rest of the world was ready for his wrath.
Conner reached the battleground to see a White and Red Ranger holding off his brother, soon joined by Dr. Oliver and Ethan. He then saw a Pink Ranger fighting Elsa with Hunter soon joining the fray as well. Next thing he knew, he was on the ground, gasping for air. He looked up to see the Red and Blue Wind Rangers holding their swords to his neck, a bead of blood dripping down it. He sighed, figuring it was the end, when suddenly a loud scratching noise sent the two rangers flying back, scratching the back of his neck slightly. He got up and grinned at Kira, who glared at him.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE CONNER?" She yelled, more out of concern than anger, to her surprise.
"Eric's my brother. If it's going to be anyone to bring him down, it's me," he said with a surprisingly calm face. Kira nodded. It made sense in a way.
"Guess we should morph," Kira said, getting her arm ready.
"DINO THUN.....Huh?" Conner and Kira started to yell doing their morph procedure, when the looked down. For some reason, their morphers wouldn't come out. Suddenly the Red and Blue Wind Rangers walked over ignoring the rest of the battles for a moment.
"So you're not a ninja clone of Eric are you?" Shane said under his helmet. Conner sighed, so that was why he was attacked.
"No I'm his twin brother..." Conner sighed as he noticed the Pink Ranger and Hunter defeating Elsa, causing her to retreat. He looked up to see the Red and White Rangers along with Dr. O and Ethan blasting the heck out of his brother, only to see them fall to the ground in pain.
"Come on, brother, do you think all of these Rangers will keep me from killing your girlfriend? Guess again..." Eric laughed charging the small group, knocking down the Pink Ranger and Hunter as he ran toward them. Shane and Tori charged toward their student, hoping to stop him. Shane swung his sword down only to have it deflected by the Dragon Dagger. Tori tried to sweep him, only for Eric to jump up and land on top of her, kicking her head. Conner ran toward his brother furiously bringing his leg up to his brother's head, hoping to knock him down.
Suddenly, Conner heard a thwack and was instantly pleased as his brother started to fall to the ground. But Conner soon saw that his brother was trying to stab his Dragon Dagger into him. Again. But suddenly, Eric went flying back, demorphing, as Conner saw a blur of yellow come out of the ground.
"Dude don't play with pointy objects! You could poke out an eye," Dustin smirked with his arm raised in the air, making it clear that he gave Eric a massive uppercut from the ground.
"You haven't seen the last of me Sensei Brooks." Eric called out traveling through an Invisi-portal as the other rangers got up and walked over to the others.
"Conner, what are you doing here?" Dr. Oliver demanded.
"Dr. O, he's bound and determined to defeat Eric." Kira sighed. The Red and Pink Rangers laughed.
"DR. OLIVER, Tommy this is nuts...And I thought making Conner a Red Ranger was nuts!" The Red Ranger laughed, demorphing to reveal Jason Scott. The Pink Ranger followed suit, revealing Kimberly Hart. Conner went wide as he saw his cousin and Kim were past Power Rangers. The Wind Rangers, Ethan, and Hunter followed suit. Then everyone looked toward the White Ranger. Who was he? The White Ranger sighed and demorphed, revealing himself. Hunter recognized him to be the boy who had answered the door at Dr. Oliver's earlier that day.
"Guys this is Makuku Oliver, my nephew." Tommy said, demorphing. "He's here to help us fight Eric and Mesogog." Conner quickly sighed and asked the burning question.
"Dr, O you told us that the power coins for those suits were broken. How are they working again?"
"Well, Cous, apparently when Tommy made your powers he studied and inadvertly recreated the morphing grid. Billy repaired Kim and Tommy's old coins, and this one was never damaged," Jason explained, challenging Billy.
"Well, let's go to my place and figure this out." The group nodded, waking up the two fallen students and following Tommy. Conner started to follow when his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello McKnight." Conner knew instantly it was the Evil White Dino Ranger.
"What do you want?" Conner growled.
"I want to finish our little duel—without your brother interfering. Meet me at the school parking lot early tomorrow morning...or else." Conner heard the phone line go dead, intent on finishing the rivalry he and the White Ranger had once and for all.
To be continued...
