Chapter 5

An Armored Problem. Pt 1

Lan, Ribbita, Jasmine, Maylu and Rush sat around a new table, just big enough for the five of them. They were busy talking about Cutman's escape and that he said Master Shademan. "Lan do you think that means Shademan wasn't destroyed, that he just tricked you into thinking he was?" Maylu asked.

"That is a possiblility, when we fought Vineman he actually exploded. Well his data did anyways, no real fire from it except what was caused by Lan's attack!" Jasmine said as she gave him a hug.

"Now that I think about it, when we wer fighting Vineman a bat appeared infront of him and made him grow!" Lan said jumping up from the table as if he was going to go chase Shademan down. However that caused Jasmine to fall backwards, which caused Maylu to laugh.

"Lan, we don't know where he is. If we tried to search for him now he could easily destroy half of Electopia while we were off searching for him in the wrong places!" Ribbita said in order to get Lan not to run off for no real reason.

"She has a point lets just keep fighting off his minions until he decides to show himself again. Then when he does we can hit him with everything he's got!" Maylu said and Rush kinda backed away only for Maylu to grab his collar "Rush you aren't going any where right now."

"Yes it is a good idea to wait for him to show himself. But until then we must all stay alert. He will not stop his assault until he wins, until he has the control of the world!" Duo said trying to get the attention of his rangers.

"Ok, so we wait that gives him time to grow stronger doesn't it?" Lan asked.

"Yes but at the same time the more you fight the stronger you get. And the more of his minions you defeat the less backup he'll have when you do fight him again." Slur said before returning her attention to the moniters.

"Those kids may be tough but they will stand no chance against me the next time we meet!" Cutman said as he summoned a giant Satelite, and some normal sized ones. They started to smash into windows and cause general mayhem through out ElecTown.

"It looks as if the Demon Navi, Cutman is back. He is in Electown, you should morph and head down there immediately." Slur said the second her moniters displayed what was going on down in ElecTown.

"Right, Duo Blue!" Lan said after putting a few chips into his morpher.

"Duo White!" Jasmine said doing after doing the same as Lan.

Ribbita also did the same "Duo Green!"

"Rush, we have to go will you please change?" Maylu said trying to get Rush to turn merge with his Synchro Chip so she could morph. All rush did however was shake in head no. "The three of you should head down now, as soon as I can get Rush to change I'll be down there." Maylu said after realizing that Rush did not want to be in chip form at all.

"Ok just try not to take to much time." Ribbita said before Slur teleported them to earth.

"Hold it right there Cutman!" Lan said the instant he spotted Cutman.

"Just who I was waiting for, the Sour Rangers, you won't let me have any fun!" Cutman said when he noticed that the Giant Satelite virus was behind the rangers and about to slam into them. Of course Lan went to run foward and punch Cutman in the face, however when he went to take the step the Satelite slammed into their backs paralyzing them.

"Oh are you mad because I didn't tell you a giant virus was behind you?" Cutman said laughing before he made a couple of scissors appeared in his hands. "Cut Blades!" he said tossing the ones in his hands at Jasmine and Ribbita while he ran straight at Lan to slice him with his head scissors.

"Sonic Boom!" a voice echoed as the sonic boom hit the blades away from Jasmine, and Ribbita while knocking Cutman away from Lan. "You aren't going to be cutting anyone. Just look around you have no more viruses left. I deleted them all while you were gloating about paralyzing the Power Rangers." The voice said as it stepped into view.

"What is going on? You can't be here with out a..." Cutman said staring at the red figure before him with long white and black hair, along with a sword.

"I take it you didn't notice it materialize now did you? Well may we continue? Katana. Battlechip in! Download!" CF Protoman said as his sword arm became a Katana, he lept forward and started to clash with some of Cutman's hand held scissors.

After a few minutes the Paralasis wore of and the rangers were able to move again. "Variable Sword!" All three of them said in unison. Their Duo Busters turned into Variable Swords. "Sonic Boom!" They all shouted as the launched the attack.

As three Sonic Booms flew towards him and Cutman, CF Protoman quickly jumped out of the way and Cutman simply smirked. "Cut Armor!" Cutman shouted, his body started to glow and his entire body was suddenly covered in what appeared to be orange chain-mail. His Scissors became styled like teeth and he started to laugh, all the attacks slammed into his armor and were reflected back at the rangers.

The attack hit them all and knocked them back. "I doubt any of our chips can pierce that armor, all I have left is wood chips." Lan said as he slowly stood up.

"Same for me!" Ribbita and Jasmine said in unison as they stood up.

"Demon Cutters!" Cutman said as he started flinging scissors after scissors at the three of them.

"Drill Arm!" a voice said as a black hole oppend and a drill arm slammed into the center of the chestplate ripping it open. Duo Pink's head then popped out of the hole followed by the rest of her body.

"I'll finish him. Justice One! Battlechip in! Download!" CF Protoman said as his right hand changed from a sword to a giant fist. He swung his fist forward breaking a larger hole in the armor, and colliding with Cutman.

That is when a black bat appeared and flew into the large hole in the armor. It sealed the hole and Cutman started to grow when he yelled "Data Boost!.

"That doesn't look good." Maylu said staring upward.
