Welcome to the next chapter of the Deaf Ranger. I'm sorry it took a while, another project took a lot of time and well, there was the sad news of JDF passing away yesterday. That is going to make when I get to Tommy's appearance a lot more harder and sadder to write cause of the impact that JDF did and made for the series and for everyone, including me. But this show and series and everything that he was part of, that will help keep his memory alive and remember how amazing he was. -hugs Kimberly-

Thanks to everyone who liked and favorited this story. I wouldn't get the inspiration without you.

Disclaimer, I don't own Power Rangers, they belong to Hasbro. I only own the idea, Eliza, David, Ann, the Silver Ranger Power and the assoicated Dino Zord and Power Hammer along with a box set of the first three seasons.


Chapter 11 – No Clowning Around

Walking through a carnival that came to the city, Eliza looked for who her parents said would be helping her from a service. While she was walking, she heard Kimberly call to her.

"Eliza!" She shouted. "Over here!"

"What's going on?" She asked as she approached Kimberly, Jason, and Billy. Kimberly pointed to see Zack who was having a fun time, walking on stilts.

"Alright, heads up, everybody!" He said, smiling. "Witness the Zackman on stilts."

"Keep it up, man!" Jason cheered on. "You're doing great!"

"No way I can do that." Kimberly said, snacking on her cotton candy. "The only thing I can balance is shopping bags. You know, on my arms."

"Hey, remember to keep your center of gravity correctly proportioned, okay?" Billy called out to Zack.

Laughing, Eliza looked at her teammates and asked, "Have you guys seen David or a short haired girl?"

"No, who are you looking for?" Kimberly asked, looking at her.

"I don't know, my parents just said a interpreter from a official sign language service would be here at the carnival." Eliza said, looking around.

"Guys, check this out." Zack called out.

They looked as he tried to do dance moves while on the stilts, he did the moves until he suddenly began to lose balance and fell with Jason catching him.

"My big strong hero." Zack said, acting like a damsel.

Everyone laughed as a clown untied the stilts off his feet and the group left, not knowing the clown they were with was a Putty in disguise. As Trini arrived with her cousin, David found the group and there was another person looking for them. It was a young woman with short strawberry blond hair and teal green eyes, she had a scar on her left cheek and over her right eye.

She also wore a unique glove on her left hand while her right hand had a henna design of a blooming flower on her right. She was looking around, not seeing Bulk and Skull who had taken some cotton candy from some unsuspecting girls who saw the group. The group met up with Trini who brought her cousin while they were watching a clown juggle.

When he offered for one of the group to try, looking for Slyvia, Billy stepped up. While he was starting to try and juggle, Bulk and Skull came up to ruin their day.

"Didn't you guys see the sign out sign front?" Bulk said, attempting to taunt them like usual. At that moment, the woman saw the group and noticed Eliza, smiling but stood to see how she handled the situation. Bulk told them, " 'No geeks allowed.'"

"Better get out of here before this gets messy." Skull said, trying to be tough.

"Oh, it will get messy but not in the way you're thinking." Eliza said, smiling as Billy's juggling failed and the eggs he was juggling landed on the two.

Laughing, Kimberly said, "Looks like the only mess around here is you guys."

"Hey, you guys, they're doing gymantics over there." Jason told them, pointing to another attraction. "Lets go watch."

As they headed over, Trini reminded her young cousin that they needed to stay together when she asked to be with the clown. Approaching the group, the woman tried to speak up.

"Uh, e-excuse me!" She said, grabbing Eliza's sleeve, having the group look at her.

"You are…?" Kimberly asked.

Eliza gasped and pulled out her hearing aids, giving them to Kimberly and signing to her, David and Kimberly translating, "Are you the interperer who was assigned to me?"

Brightening up, she signed, "Yes, my name is Anna. But I prefer Ann. Sorry, I am so shy and not good with talking with other people."

"It's okay." Eliza signed. "My name is Eliza and I hope we can get along."

Ann nodded and walked with them, looking as Kimberly, Billy, Zack, Jason, David, and a clown tried to make a pyramid. Trini tried to join but she noticed as her cousin disappeared, the clown from before taking her away, all part of Rita's plan to defeat the Rangers. Trini found her cousin but before she could calmly take her back to the others, the clown turned Sylvia into a cardboard cutout.

Panicked and shocked, Trini took the cutout to her friends, as they were coming off a ride. While David went to comfort Ann as she was looking a little sick, Trini ran to the rest of the Rangers!"

"Guys!" She shouted.

"Trini, what's wrong?" Eliza asked, looking at her worried.

Trini showed the cutout of her cousin, explaining, "This fair must be one of Rita's traps. Look at what that clown did to Syliva!"

"She's been subatomically transduced into a two-dimensional state." Billy said, examining her.

"Guys, there's gotta be something we can do." Kimberly said, getting concerned.

"The quastironic molecular generator in my garage could be the answer." Billy offered, looking at the others.

"Trini, you take Slyvia to Billy's place." Jason told her, calming her down. "Have Alpha teleport down to help you. We're gonna warn everyone here."

Trini nodded, going with Billy to his home while Jason ran to a nearby volunteer and politely grabbed his megaphone.

"Attention, everyone!" Jason called out to everyone. "Get out! Rita's attacking the fair!"

Everyone helped direct all the attending visitors get out safely so there wouldn't be any casualties or unexpected witnesses as they prepared to face the clown Putties. Once the fair was cleared of the visitors, the clowns appeared and revealed their true Putty forms. Eliza breathed as they became surrounded by Putties and the clown that changed Syliva appeared, offering to lead them away.

Billy followed the clown while the others stayed behind and fought the Putties, using the rides and attractions around them to their advantage and their particular skill sets. Once they took care of the Putties, the Rangers got together and ran to face the clown.

"You're going down, clown." Jason said, looking at their opponent as Eliza readied herself.

"No…. more….. clowning….. around…." The clown told them, wagging his finger and looked like he was slowly deflating and laughing before he changed into a ugly looking pineapple looking monster.

"Man, that's one big pineapple." Zack noted, looking at the newest creation from Rita.

So the remaining Rangers transformed and began to fight more Putties, with Squatt and Baboo appearing to enjoy the fight from a distance. While they fought, the Rangers realized that the pineapple monster disappeared and Zack looked at the others.

"I think he headed for the park." He told them.

"Oh no!" Eliza gasped.

However as they headed to the park, they encountered Goldar and fought the golden armored general. Then the pineapple monster appeared, saying that the Rangers were his to defeat. He suddenly spread a powder to turn them into cardboard but as they and the monster discovered, the suits had a shield or some kind of protection that prevented them from turning into cutouts but the monster was ready to fight still.

It sent blasts at them and they were sent flying, then the monster was enlarged by Rita's staff. The Rangers tried to avoid getting stomped til Trini appeared and with the full team together, they summoned their respective Dino-zords. With Trini's help and direction, each Ranger used the respective power of their Zord to weaken the pineapple before forming the Megazord.

With that, they defeated the pineapple monster and there was a breath of relief. So the Rangers enjoyed the fair without worrying about Rita attacking again. Eliza sat with Ann and helped teach Jason sign language while Billy tried his own slits and Syliva apologized to Trini for wandering off. Everyone laughed as Zack joked with Billy.


Well, I don't know if I can walk on slits, I tried walking on heeled sandals once and my feet were so sore after that, so I just prefer to be on the ground and wear flat shoes. And well, I wonder how many people developed a fear of clowns after this episode and it ws heightened after media like IT and such. I don't fear clowns but this would have made me scared.

Next chapter, David and Ann discover Eliza's secret, Billy and Kimberly are turned into punks, Trini is sent to find a cure to help Billy and Kimberly, the Rangers fight a terrorizing toad monster. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I will see you in the next one. Please R & R.
