Chapter Five- Deploy the Lightspeed Solarzord!

At the Lightspeed Aquabase, Captain Mitchell and Miss Fairweather were standing by the sensor station. They were both looking at the monitors which displayed a giant Bouldermont with one touch melt almost an entire skyscraper.
Ensign Corbett was working the controls at the sensor station like there was no tomorrow. "Captain, sensors say Bouldermont's body is seven thousand degrees and rising!"
"He's like a volcano," commented the female officer manning the station along with Corbett. "He's causing a heat wave all over the city!"
"We have to act now," said Captain Mitchell. "Miss Fairweather, deploy the Omega Megazord and the Max Solarzord."
Usually Miss Fairweather would obey the captain's orders, but she had a better idea, "Captain, I think we should deploy the Lightspeed Solarzord."
"Miss Fairweather that is out of the question. The Lightspeed Megazord was decommissioned from combat duty." The Lightspeed Megazord was immediately decommissioned after it was toppled by two very powerful monsters. The five components of the Megazord---Pyro Rescue One, Hydro Rescue Two, Aero Rescue Three, Haz Rescue Four, and MedRescue Five--- were only used in emergency situations.
"But sir, the Lightspeed Solarzord can use the heat to increase its strength and power to destroy Bouldermont, at least in theory."
Before Captain Mitchell could speak the communications officer spoke, "Captain, Lightspeed Red is on the comm. requesting the deployment of a Megazord, a.s.a.p."
Mitchell looked at Fairweather, and reluctantly said, "Deploy the Lightspeed Solarzord."
Miss Fairweather smiled as she walked across the Aquabase's high tech control room.

The train hangar rose from the underwater base. All five giant train cars, called Rail Rescues by Miss Fairweather and her team of engineers, were deployed. They linked up with each other forming one train and rolled down the train tracks. From the top of the train hanger, a blue space shuttle with solar panels was launched.

In Mariner Bay, Pyro Rescue One, Hydro Rescue Two, Aero Rescue Three, HazRescue Four, and MedRescue Five combined to form the Lightspeed Megazord. In the upper regions of Earth's atmosphere, the space shuttle soaked up heat from the Sun with its solar panels. The shuttle transformed into the Max Solarzord. Using maneuvering thrusters the gigantic combat robot began to descend into the lower atmosphere. It landed in Mariner Bay next to the Lightspeed Megazord.
Carter, Chad, Dana, Joel, and Kelsey boarded the Lightspeed Megazord, while Ryan boarded the Max Solarzord. Before either Megazord could move Miss Fairweather spoke over the comm. units in both of the giant robots, "Rangers, you have to act quickly to destroy Bouldermont, he is causing a heat wave all over the city."
"I think you know that," said Kelsey, the Yellow Ranger, who was profusely sweating.
Carter, the Red Ranger, ignored Kelsey's comment even though he too was sweating like there was no tomorrow, "Miss Fairweather, do you have a plan?"
"Yes, combine the zords to form the Lightspeed Solarzord. After that use the solar panels to absorb the heat emitted by Bouldermont, then defect that heat back at Bouldermont along with the Megazord's power."
"Understood," said Carter.
Dana, the Pink Ranger, spoke, "Can that plan actually work?"
Miss Fairweather had no time to explain her calculations, so she got to the point, "There is a fifty-fifty chance of success."
Most of the Rangers, except Chad, were shocked by Miss Fairweather's revelation. On their face they wore fear.
Chad, the Blue Ranger, who was usually silent, finally spoke, "Guys, we have been in worst situations, but at the end we have always saved the day, so how can this be any different?"
The Rangers thought about what Chad said, and they all knew he was right. Joel, the Green Ranger expressed what all the Power Rangers felt by saying, "Lets get this show on the road!"

The Lightspeed Megazord and the Max Solarzord combined to form the Lightspeed Solarzord. The battle robot approached Bouldermont.
"Ryan, can you put the solar panels on standby?" asked Carter.
Ryan, the Titanium Ranger, replied, "Yes, but I hope they don't overload."
"So, you are back again with your toys, Power Pukes," said Bouldermont.
The Rangers saw through the windshield of the cockpit of the Lightspeed Solarzord that the monster was approaching them. Bouldermont threw a left punch, miraculously the Rangers piloted the Megazord out of harm's way.
"We can't touch Bouldermont or we'll melt," said Ryan.
Bouldermont tried to punch the Lightspeed Solarzord twice. Twice the Power Rangers were able to maneuver the Megazord out of harm's way.
Bouldermont became angry when he wasn't able three consecutive times to land a punch on the Lightspeed Solarzord. He put his hands to gather.
"Temperatures are off the chart!" exclaimed Chad as he read the sensor readouts on his computer.
"He's going to use an energy blast!" exclaimed Kelsey.
"Ryan," said Carter. "The panels." Quickly the Titanium Ranger put the solar panels on-line.
Bouldermont unleashed a fireball of intense heat.
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" shouted Dana as she held on tightly to her computer console for support. Her fellow teammates did the same. The Lightspeed Solarzord shook violently when the energy attack made contact. The Power Rangers were knocked off their chairs as the inner circuitry of the Megazord short-circuited around them.
Ryan got back to his computer station, "Carter, we absorbed the power, our energy storage tanks are at maximum capacity."
"Our structural integrity is down to sixty percent," reported Chad. "Anything we do could be harmful to ourselves."
"Do you Power Pukes have nine lives!" said an enraged Bouldermont. "DIE!" He approached the Lightspeed Solarzord.
"Ryan," said Carter with urgency. "Combine the energy in the tanks with all of our emergency power, now!"
Ryan got to work. All of the laser cannons on the combat robot became bright red. All the cannons on the Megazord emitted a powerful red laser beam. All the lasers struck Bouldermont. The rock monster collapsed and exploded.
"We saved the day!" exclaimed a jubilant Chad.
"Another monster down," said Kelsey. "YAHOO!"
"Another monster closer to Queen Bansheera and her goons," added Dana.
"It will never be over until she is stopped," commented Ryan.
"I know I will stop the demon queen all by myself," said Joel.
Carter, Chad, Dana, Kelsey, and Ryan looked at Joel.
"Okay, okay," said Joel. "With your help, though."
"Rangers," said the voice of Captain Mitchell over the comm. unit in the cockpit. "All of you did a great job. Now return to base. Also, Joel you are due in my office for pushups."
All of the Power Rangers, except Joel, laughed.
"I hope you can muster one hundred pushups, Joel," said Carter.
"Would you like to do one-hundred, Carter? It can be arranged."
The Rangers laughed, while Carter smiled.
