Chapter 12: Return of Frenzy

Justin and Alpha spent all night working on ever-possible idea they could think trying to reverse the sphere's affect on nature. Justin wipes his forehead. He looks up at the clock on the wall. It was one am in the morning. "Justin I got it from here. Go to the Safe Compound be with your father." Alpha said pushing the boy away from the control.

"NO. I can't let you continue on this project while I'm resting." Justin said making his way back to the console.

"Justin I'm a robot I don't need rest. You do now please go to the holding camp. If not for yourself than for your father." Alpha pleads.

Justin places the handouts in front of him down. "Your right. He's probably worried sick. Ok I'll see you in a couple of hours." He said softly. He stretches his arms letting out a huge yawn; Alpha turns back to the console. Blue light reflects off his shiny armor as Justin teleports out of the chamber.

Justin enters the room that holds his father. Justin walks pass a series of cots that hold other parents with their children. Finally Justin finds his father's cot. A smile comes across his face he looks down seeing his father holding on to his picture. Almost like a little boy would clutch to a teddy bear. Justin takes the cot next to his father. "Night Love you dad," he whispers just before falling asleep.

Ashley walks out of the Safe Compound heading towards the ledge where TJ sits. She sits down next to him. Not saying anything at first. Just listening to the silence. He leans over to her. "I know the others think that I'm crazy. And I'm starting to think I might be as well." He said softly looking around.

"Really?" she said surprise at his conclusion of his current actions. "I never would have gone with crazy." She answers.

"Oh its crazy alright" he responds shaking his head. She chuckle to herself imagining him to be like Kramer from Seinfield. "And then there is us." He said. "Or not us" he ponders.

Divatox walks back on to the bridge of her ship. "Well how destroyed are the rangers?" she ask giggling from anticipation of the answers.

"How about not at all." Elgar answers. "But don't worry yet. There is one sphere left and they haven't manage to reverse the affects of the other spheres."

"And my monster?" she ask. Elgar becomes awfully quiet giving the answer she feared. "I really hate those rangers. I mean can't they just let me take over the work in peace." She asks. Posing the question as if it was reasonable for her to just take over the water and not expect the power rangers to foil her plans.

"I think our relationship is clouding my judgment. I was thinking back to the cavern. How I allowed the blast to hit everyone else except you. I don't know how Tommy, Kim, Kat, Adam, and Tanya handle their ranger duties while being in a relationship with one of their teammates?" TJ ask shaking his head.

"So what are you saying?" She breathes. She was getting defensive. To her she was getting the sense he was blaming her for some of his decision that wasn't too sound.

"There are a lot of things that I haven't dealt with. Becoming a ranger I had to put those issues aside. Not focusing on them as much as I wanted to and as much as I needed to. Getting into this non-relationship with you was just apart of adding one more thing that I might not be able to actively deal with. I'm sorry for that. Although we have a good time with each other and there are feelings between us. It doesn't necessary mean that I'm the one for you or you're the one for me." TJ said.

"I agree. That's what dating is all about. At this point I'm not looking exactly for a husband. But the relationships I have now will have a huge impact on the husband that I do choose. I'll know what I want from a man, what I don't want, what I can put with, what will be a deal breaker." She rambles.

"Here we are just sophomores and yet we are already talking about marriage. Not to each other but the thought of being married is already a factor in how we choose to date now. I wonder how much of being a ranger will affect those choices?" he asks lying on the ground.

"I never thought about it." She said lying beside him.

"Just think Tommy although not apart of the original five was apart of the first team. They debut in 93 and here it is near the end of 1997. We got out powers from her almost a couple of months ago. He started as a transfer student and ended up graduating as a Power Ranger. Those were four long years of fighting various monsters. It's no wonder that the rangers often fall for their teammates. Who else could understand their boyfriend or girlfriend always has to leave in the middle of their interactions." TJ explains.

"Think about how being a ranger puts everything into perspective. Your placing you lives out there on the line. You have to worry about trying to stop another evil scheme thought up by the main villain. For some reason you just can't deal with someone who has problems that are very small." Ashley adds.

"So are we cool as just hanging out?" he asks. She nods her head sitting up. "Always. You know this home skillet." She said. TJ gives her a weird look. He stands up helping her up and head back to the Safe Compound. "One thing I always notice about being a ranger is the convince of a lot of things." TJ said. "Who would have figure that we had a complex out in the desert that could house everyone in Angel Grove just for such an disaster?" he ask.

Although the spheres were gone their elements still remain intact. Green light shoots out of the storm clouds, out of the mountain connecting with the light forming in the water. The three beams of light enter inside the earth. In the park where he was defeated the monster known as frenzy was reborn once again. This time his power was greater. Carlos and Cassie had just teleported to the Power chamber.

"Rangers I'm glad you showed up. It would seem that Frenzy has return in the park. Intercept him while I contact the other rangers." Alpha said. "Right Shift into Turbo!" Carlos said. The Green and Pink Ranger lands in the park facing Frenzy once again. "Are we going through this again?" Green ranger asks. Frenzy rises up in the air he fires green energy blast from his hands. Both rangers land on the ground pain surging through their bodies.

Both rangers slowly rise to their feet. Pulling out their Turbo swords they attempt to slash at the monster. Frenzy shoots a beam into the ground causing a minor earthquake. The two rangers lose their balance as the ground continues to shake underneath them. Frenzy changes his form to a green lighting bolt. Striking the two rangers over and over in his new form. Each strike creates a series of small tears on the ranger's suit.

Their turbo swords drop to their side, the two rangers yank their blaster from their holsters. Hoping to a land a shot on the monster. The two rangers fire randomly at him. The lighting bolt dodges the attack changing its form once again to a green fireball. Shooting through them like the lights of Orion mode. A green explosion erupts around them sending the two rangers flying across the park. When they land their suits fade away from their bodies. Their civilian clothes are shred and torn for the battle. There are oblivious cuts and sores on their arms and legs.

Frenzy hovers over the two limp rangers; he smirks to himself. "That was easy," he said. A blue beam shoots into him, but with his new power it doesn't affect him. Storm Blaster rides up into the park. More blue beams head towards the monster, instead of allowing them to hit him. He smacks them back to their origin. Storm blaster stops trying to avoid the return blast but manages to takes some of its return fire, followed by a green bolt of lighting. Justin leaps out of car rolling on the ground.

Frenzy changes his form once again to the fireball. Aiming for the Blue Turbo Ranger. A series of red blasts bombard into fireball knocking him from his fireball state into his monster form. TJ drives up in Lighting Cruiser beside the three rangers.

Frenzy teleports himself out of the park leaving the ranger their to tend to their friends' wounds. The monster streaks across the sky heading out of the city into the desert area. TJ's communicator goes off he brings his lips close to the device. "Go head" he said.

"He's heading to the safe compound." Alpha said.

"Justin kept working on the spheres. He came from a sphere so maybe the other spheres can help us." TJ said hoping back in his car. He drives off after the monster taking to the air as soon as the water begins to get too deep for driving. Frenzy breaks through the roof of the safe compound. To his surprise he didn't find any of the humans as he has sense. Instead the Yellow Turbo Ranger leans against the wall of an empty room.

"I came to eat not fight," Frenzy said walking over to the left hallway. The yellow ranger race in front of him waving her finger, well I guess your biting off more than you can chew." She said in her head it didn't sound right and now that she had said it out loud it was even worse. She kicks the monster pushing him back some. He turbo sword already in hand she reflects his blast that he immediately retaliates with.

A red streak lands in the room on the other side of the room. "Mind if I cut in." Red Ranger said leg sweeping the monster off his feet. TJ rushes over to her side. "Thanks" she said. He bows before her. TJ, Ashley was thrown against the wall of the compound. They slid
down the wall to their feet. TJ looked over at Ashley with a concern
look on his face. "Ashley are you ok?" he strain to get those words
out. She was in so much pain that all she could do was nod yeah.
TJ look down at Frenzy's feet.

With the last of might TJ push himself off the wall, that he once
hung on like he was painting, and football tackle Frenzy off of
Tanya. Touching him full on TJ's suit sparked red and white with
each roll they took he position his right foot in such a way that
when he thrusted it forward Frenzy was flung over to his back onto
some crates.

Frenzy took the chance to attack them from behind. His left hand was almost on the back of TJ's neck when a white boot sent Frenzy sliding across the floor of the compound. Ashley landed in front of him almost out of breath. Frenzy smiled and wiped his mouth and began to chuckle.

TJ walks to a control panel he begins to type in an access code. The reinforce steel door closes around them. He ran up the hallway, as he got closer to Frenzy and Ashley he saw a color dance of green and yellow laser. A green beam whizzes by his head. He sat low to the ground and crouch into the area. If he had blink he would have miss most of the battle. Frenzy fires ten beams from his fingers at Ashley with a Matrix and cheerleading mixture of moves she manages to dodge all but two which both hit her in the left leg she does twist backwards returning what seems like a thousand blast but are nothing more than 15. Frenzy backwards some two lands on him but he seems unaffected. From where TJ squats at Frenzy is in the middle of area while Ashley is in the Northwest corner of the room.

She sees TJ near the door she fires a blast near him making him
jump back. She rolls on the ground dust flying up in the air firing
at control panel to the room all five doors slam down shut the one.
TJ jumps to his feet to open them seeing the system is fried he can
only look through the window of the door. He doesn't understand what
she's doing; she doesn't know what she is doing.

Then it comes clear to them both when she leaps in the air doing a back flip kick to Frenzy's back pushing him into the middle of the Northwest and South East corners. She fires her blaster upward at the light causing darkness to instantly appear. The Hazard light flashes on, but only given the room a small amount of light. "You think fighting in the dark will give you a upper hand?" Frenzy yelled. "NO I think this will," she yells as two yellow beams strikes an object in the
Northwest wall and Southeast wall. With little bit of light from the
hazard lights and just before the yellow beam hits the objects it
gives off light allowing TJ to see what her plan was. The object seems
to be in a barrel shape with the words CAUTION FLAMMABLE!

KABOOOMSH! The force inside the room pops the doors up like the tip
on a soda can pushing TJ back along with it. He rolls to side as the
door lands behind him to the right of him. Smoke and sult fills the
and a tremble is fell throughout the compound. Using the wall as leverage TJ pulls himself up. He sees a figure moving about the smoke out of the door he takes a stance in case it's Frenzy, stumbling out is Ashley she holds herself on the wall sliding down towards TJ she collapse in his arms demorph she looks up in his eyes hair covering her face. Tucking her hair behind her ears he smiles at her. "Did I do good?" she asks returning a smile back at him. "You did real good," he said and with that she goes out like a baby, he eases her down to ground. "But it wasn't enough" a voice said from the smoke TJ spun around and stood up in shock. "NO that was enough to take out any monster," he sputtered out.

"Haven't you realized yet that I'm not the average monster you rangers
have come across?" Frenzy said taking a step he finally began to look
weak for the first time he was panting and holding his chest. TJ
summoned the Turbo R.A.M using the power to push Frenzy out TJ pushed
the weapon forward pushing Frenzy slowly back. He stops the weapon
shortly and then with a full blast shot Frenzy through the hole the
explosion had cause to the outside.

TJ rushed outside to the mountainous area. Loose gravel slid under TJ's foot, he look around for Frenzy. Frenzy appears from no way tackling TJ like he had done to him earlier. "What are you trying to Prove ranger?" Frenzy asked.

Which was the question since all the rangers had join back together
he felt that he didn't shine out like the others. So he tried to
prove himself now. The two rolled to edge of the cliff.

"Watch that first step it's a doosey," TJ said flinging Frenzy off of him and over the cliff. TJ's left foot hung over the cliff just a bit, but he manage to hold himself up with his hands dug into the ground. He put his head back and let out a sigh, but that was a short one TJ was drag off the cliff he held on to a ledge only for his hand and it seem it was breaking.

He looked down to see Frenzy hanging with his left hand
on TJ's left leg and his right hand on a ledge he was hanging on.
With his free hand he summons a Turbo sword and sticks it on the
ledge where Frenzy's hand is on. Pulling the tab on the handle of
the Sword spins the coil on the sword letting it go the tab goes back
down charging up the sword and breaking the ledge apart, quick
grabbing auto blaster blasting Frenzy's hand he loses grip on both the
ranger and the ledge fallen to his demise.

TJ's ledge finally gives and he goes down with Frenzy with his last attempt to finish off the ranger blast above TJ causing rocks to tumble down after him. A series of red blast from out of the sky turns the rocks into dust. TJ is able to grab on to a small branch stopping him for the moment.

While Frenzy continues descend. TJ blacks out and demorphs fallen
after Frenzy Lighting Cruiser comes and catches him and zips off to
the entrance of the Safe Compound. Once the monster land into the ground his body shoots the five green lights out of his body heading back to their elements. The water in the city lowers, the storm cloud vanishes, the ground stops shaking. Then two spheres rises from the monsters as he fizzles away.

In the coming weeks the rangers using the technology from the Power chamber and the knowledge they use from the spheres. Were able to help the citizens of Angel Grove repair their city. Also they were able to gain their lost zords from the depths of the ocean, and the ones encase in the mud.

For a while it seem that Divatox had given up on any plans. She even refused any of her henchmen to step foot out of the sub craft. Just like always after a monster attack. Angel Grove was once again thriving. One-thing construction workers never head to worry about. Not having work. With the rangers and monster constantly fighting there was always something for them to do. And as in any situation this would seem like the calm before the storm.
