Chapter Ten: It's not Picnic in the Park
Divatox and Elgar dripping wet returns to their sub craft. Porto walks up to them holding a towel. "Don't ask call me when the rangers are destroyed." Divatox said snatching the towel heading off to her room. Elgar grabs the towel wiping him off.
The five rangers run into the park. "Alpha said everything around here was going chaotic except for the park." TJ said stopping on top of a hill. "So whatever is the source of all these disasters must be here." Justin adds. TJ waves his finger at him. "Exactly. Now to find this source." TJ said walking down the hill.
Piranatrons jump out of the ground posing before the rangers. "Well we must be close." Cassie said leading the assault on the piranatrons. She front flips over a piranatron landing directly behind the fish creature. The Pink ranger elbows the creature in the back of the head. Knocking the piranatron off its feet.
"What tipped you off?" Carlos asks side kicking a piranatron in its side. Sending the creature over a bench. The same bench that the Yellow ranger back flips on avoiding an attack from two piranatrons' hammers. "Don't you guys know how to play friendly?" she asks back flip off the bench pulling out her blaster. She fires on the two piranatrons before she lands.
The Red and Blue rangers attempt to kick the same piranatron, but find their attack foiled by a shock attack from the storm cloud looming above them. Red and Blue hit the ground at the same time, their suits smoking from the shock. "Justin" Pink ranger said tripping two piranatrons. "TJ" Yellow ranger said running over to both rangers' side. A gust of wind picks the Yellow ranger up in the air spinning her around and around. "I'm not one to get motion sickness but I don't think Alpha's going to like cleaning this suit." She yells up in the air.
The piranatrons retreat leaving the rangers to deal with the forces of nature, the ground opens up behind the green ranger. Fire erupts from the crack sending the ranger flying up in the air. He crashes into the spinning yellow ranger. They both land on the sidewalk. "Hold on guys." Pink ranger said running to them. She trips over her foot slamming into the ground. After taking a second to deal with the pain she looks down. A green vine was sinking back into the ground. "That was weird," she said pushing her up.
"Carlos gets off of me." The irritated Yellow ranger said pushing the Green ranger to the side. "Sorry. Next time I'll let you spin around up in the air." Carlos said.
"I saw the fire push you up in the air. Don't even try to take credit for that fluke." She said standing on her feet. Frenzy walks up to the rangers. "So now that you see the power that I hold I think it's best you give this rescue mission up. Your city is pretty much water logged now." Frenzy said. Blue and Red Turbo Rangers at this time were back on their feet helping the Pink ranger up to her feet. "Check out the Captain Planet reject Justin" TJ jokes. The Blue points and laughs at Frenzy. "You dare laugh at the one who has complete control over nature?" Frenzy roars. He fires a lighting bolt at the three rangers. Pink and Red manage to avoid the attack, but the Blue ranger isn't as lucky. He is sent flying across the area landing at the bottom of the hill. "I'm through playing with you rangers." He said.
"Good we're not having that much fun." Green Ranger said firing his auto blaster on Frenzy's back side. A yellow streak knocks the monster into a tree. Ashley lands beside the Green Ranger with his smoking blaster. TJ rushes at the monster jabbing him with his right fist then kneeing the monster in the stomach. When Frenzy bends down the Red ranger grabs him by the shoulders tossing him aside. "Everybody now." TJ said firing his blaster on the monster. Combine with the other four blasts Frenzy is stunned by the attack. But not defeated.
"Time to change the rules of the game." Frenzy grunts. His body begins to be consumes by a green energy shell. When the shell breaks Frenzy stands tall over the rangers. Moving his foot back the giant size monster kicks the five rangers out of the park into the water.
"Alpha teleport the rangers into the Turbo Megazord." Dimitria said. Alpha walks over to the center console. He turns a dial then presses a button. In the water the fiver rangers swim towards each other. The form a circle in the middle of the water, Yellow ranger points up. The rangers make their way up to the top of the water. Each time it seem the rangers were heading out of the water, level would rise another feet. The rangers were running out of air, when it seem they weren't going to make it. The five rangers were teleport from the water into an already form Turbo Megazord. "Activate the Jet systems." TJ said. The megazord cock itself forward as it sped through the water heading into the park.
The storm cloud in the sky fired a series of lighting bolts at the megazord. The tire shield appears in the left hand of zord. Upon the red ranger's command the shield is lifted in the air. Blocking the lighting blast from the storm cloud. Frenzy charges at the Megazord his fist flaming. He extends his fist out to the zord releasing a series of fireballs. The tire shield lowers to block the attack of the monster. "You rangers really need to chill" Frenzy said blowing his breath. The shield slowly becomes encase in ice. "TJ we have to drop the shield or else the zord will be one big Popsicle." Green ranger said placing his hand on the Red ranger's shoulder.
The Megazord tosses the shield in the head of the monster. Stun momentarily Frenzy stops short of his next attack. The light blasters on the chest of the megazord fires on Frenzy, smoke builds around the monster as the rangers continue to fire Frenzy. "Turbo Kick" Ashley said pulling back on a lever beside her. The megazord leaps up in the air. For about five seconds the Megazord hovers in the air. When the smoke clears from Frenzy the megazord spins around with a yellow charge foot striking the monster. Frenzy falls on the ground then dissolves into it.
"Well that was certainly a new one." Green Ranger said puzzle by their defeat over the monster.
Later in the power chamber the rangers watch on the monitor as the disasters continue. "It would seem Frenzy wasn't in control at all. It was the orbs that Elgar release on to Angel Grove." Dimitria said from her tube.
"Then we have to figure out how to reverse their effects on the city." TJ said facing the female mentor. "The question isn't so much of how to reverse it. It is how are we going to get close enough to them to reverse the effects?" Cassie asks looking at her fellow rangers.
"Between the storm cloud shooting out lighting, the earth quakes, the flood, and the mudslide. We're not going to get close to the orbs." Justin said looking at the readings from the computer unit."
"We have to extract them from their elements. Once you remove the orb from their location, the effect will stop." Dimitria said.
"We don't need it to stop we need it do the opposite of what's its doing." Ashley said.
"Right now stopping is the only option we have." TJ said. "Especially dealing with the flood and the random lighting shots. Alpha how well can the Turbo Megazord function underwater?" TJ ask. Alpha not sure himself ran a probability scan on the Megazord and its ability to run smoothly in the water. "From the readings I'm looking over. Once in the water Megazord will work at seventy-five percent at best. And will decrease at an increasing rate." Alpha reports.
"Then we have to move fast." TJ said ready to morph. "Shift" he said.
"Wait" Justin interrupts getting the last reading from the computer. "According to this handout. Touching the spheres would mean our immediate demise; even with out ranger powers we are not protected. Even the megazord will be severly damage in holding on to the spheres." Justin explains.
"Well then that counts out the megazord. It's the only thing we have left to fight off any of Divatox's monsters, since our zords got sealed up in the mud." Carlos said.
"Wait Wind Rescue and Fire Tamer are still active." Cassie said speaking out. TJ snaps his fingers at her. "Right. Ok guys I'm going in. Wish me luck." TJ said. His four friends place their hands on his shoulders nodding their head at him. "Be careful" Ashley whisper in his ear. "I will" he replies.
Seconds later the Lighting Fire Tamer in high stance mode dives into the water. "I'm in." The Red Ranger said. "Now to find this thing." The Red ranger said to himself. He flips a switch on the console panel to his left. In the left hand corner of the screen in front of the ranger, a green radar system appears.
"So the Red Ranger think he can stop the spheres." Elgar said looking through his Aunts periscope. "We should send a monster to stop him." Rygog said walking to the index of monsters on call. "No not this time." Elgar said.
"TJ. Alpha and Justin are almost finished on completing a special holding tank for the sphere. Once your zord has a lock on the sphere, we will be able to teleport from your location into the tank for observation." Dimitria said.
"Right. I think I'm getting close to the sphere as we speak." TJ replies. What he thought was a sphere was just a rock. He shakes his head following it with a laugh. "Ok" he adds. After what seemed like hours TJ came across the sphere. The water around it was green. "I'm sure that's it." TJ said. His foot pushes the accelerator to the floor. Speeding towards the sphere, with each inch the zord moves in on the sphere the brighter the sphere becomes.
Green energy flares around the sphere almost like a burning fireball in the bottom of the water. "Ok Tamer let's get this over with." TJ said to his zord. Speaking to it as if the zord could actually hear and respond to him.
Somehow the rangers in the Power Chamber were able to see the Lighting Fire Tamer Rescue Zord swim right near the green sphere. They watch as the arm grab on to the sphere, holding it between its two robotic hands. The zord begins going through power surges. "Can we get a move on teleporting the sphere. So my zord doesn't have a complete melt down?" TJ ask watching the systems drop all around him.
"Right on it." Justin said already at work with uploading the data from the zord to the systems in the Power Chamber. The green sphere leaves the hands of the zord and enters into the special holding tank in the Power Chamber. "Got it," Justin said over the communication link to TJ's zord. As soon as the sphere left the water area, the water level in the city slowly stops rising.
"Good" TJ said slumping in his chair. "I'm returning to the chamber as soon as I can." He adds. The zord swims upwards. The storm cloud looms over the Red Ranger's location. The storm cloud shoots a lighting bolt into the water. The charge is conducted throughout the water. Shocking the zord and the red ranger inside of it. "Systems at ten percent and dropping" a female computer voice reports to the red ranger pilot.
"Unngh" TJ moans. Another lighting bolt enters into the water. The zord is shock once again. "System failure" echoes inside the cockpit of the zord. The Red Ranger unbuckles himself from his seat. "I'll be back for you buddy." He said tapping his hand on the dashboard. He presses a button on his communicator teleporting from his zord back into the power chamber.
"That's right run little red ranger. Things are just getting started." Elgar growls still watching the events unfold.
