Chapter 7 Intern
The mystery voice echoed off the empty wall in the exhibit and into the temple. The second the sound hit the ears of the five they froze in there tracks. The professor was the first to unfreeze he then proceeded to the portal and stick his head out. Seeing that it was a young man looking at the artifacts in the cases he quickly jumped out and cleared his throat.
"Can I help you?" Professor Carson asked and the young man nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Uhh… Yes there is I'm here to give you my application for your internship." the young man said while wiping his hands off on his pants and extending his hand. "My names David Garret and sir it is just an honor." he said while Professor Carson shook his hand and took his resume.
"Hmm…."the prof said while examining the resume. "Well it seems you have quite the bit of experience with digs and I hope you don't mind me asking. Just how old are you?" He said as he pushed his glasses back on to his face.
"Yeah its hard to believe it but I'm 21." He said as he was rubbing the back of his neck. "My Uncle Isaac always took me on his digs since I was a little child. I was holding a brush before I could walk."
"OK looks like every thing is in order." Professor Carson then pulled out a pad of paper from his lad coat and wrote down on a piece of paper and address. "This I my office on my computer there are files of artifacts I want you to organize them but there Carbon Date and there location. I would do it my self but I am just horrible with computer." he handed the paper to the young man.
"Thank you sir you won't regret this." David said as he ran out of the exhibit.
As the professor enters the portal again he found Jake standing in front of him with puppy dog eyes.
"You had an internship and you didn't even tell me." Jake said in a very whinny voice.
"You can't blame him while he was talking to him you almost knocked over that statue." Dwight said as he crossed his arms.
"And let's not forget that scroll you almost destroyed." Anne said leaning against the wall.
"And he already stuck his neck out for you in order to come in here. Remember were all his assistants." Mia said doing air quotes.
"Fine!" he shouted as he sat down. "And Kenta if you have anything to say now the time to say it since this is Rip on Jake day." he said as he began to pout.
"OK I was going to tell you in private but you asked for it. You should really remember to zip up your fly." Kenta said as the other began to laugh.
Weeks have passed and the rangers have been able to keep Lord Voltair's forces at bay. But in the darkness of space the evil master hatches a plan.
"Ahhhhh! Those miserable humans they beat all of my minions why can't you worthless creatures do your job." Voltair yelled still stuck in the solid rock. "Not a one is worth me releasing! But one is not strong enough then lets try two!" he then conjured up two minions and combined there ashes to create a new general. "Ah a powerful and loyal warrior! But the question what to call you. Since I used the remains of Ballistic and Gamatron. You shall be called Gamabomb."
"Thank you master." He said as the metallic creature his body was combined with metal parts and organic. "I will succeed where my fallen brothers have failed." he then bowed to his master. "I shall embark to earth immediately!" unlike the others his body had reformed completely due to the fact of his increased strength.
The five teen were in the temple which was there new hang out. There was trash every where and modern conveniences and computers set up to make it easier for the professor's research. Suddenly the alarm began to ring indicating an attack.
"Guys lets do it." Jake yelled as the five got into a line.
"Ion Sphere Energize!" they yelled as there suits appeared on there body in there respected colors and there helmets coved there heads and there symbols appeared on there chest. "Ok guys lets beat down this freak." Jake said waiting for the portal. "Uhh how are we supposed to get to the monster if you don't make the portal?" Jake asked.
"I have to conserve my energy and besides I found a better way for you to get to a battle." he said as five dirt bikes appeared in the same room as the zord totems. Each had there animal on the handle bars and there symbol on the side and the same five yellow lines converging on them giving the look of a comet. "I give you the Ion Charger Cycles." Dario said as the five jumped on and revved there engines and fly out the cave entrance.
The five entered the part of the city that the monster was attacking. "Fire lasers!" Jake shouted firing a blast from the cannons on the side but it only bounced off of him. "Guys we have to hit him at the same time!" Jake said over the comlink. The five aimed there lasers at the new villain only to have it do little damage.
"Ha ha ha ha! From the way my master went on I thought that you rangers would be at least a challenge." the monster then attacked them by firing his own laser blasts from the cannons on his shoulders. Soon all five were blasted off there newly acquired cycles. Gamabomb then began to attack the five by throwing them around and smacking them against each other and against cars. "Ha ha ha ha! Come on rangers fight me!" he taunted the rangers as they fell back to regroup.
"Guys were getting thrashed our only hope is the matrix cannon." Jake said as the five nodded.
"Ok Combustion Cannon, Hydro Shield, Wind Blades, Thermal Flamethrower, and Solar Striker." the five teens called out to form the large cannon. "Ion Matrix Cannon! Aim! Fire!" They all shouted only not to destroy him only injured him.
"Looks like you going to have to try harder than that little pea-shooter!" he said as he brushed him self off.
Back at the temple. "How can they beat some one who just brushes off here most powerful attack like its nothing." asked the prof. "I don't know?" Dario turned to the remaining part of the Ion Matrix crystal the part that held the ion spheres now just sat on a pedestal. "If only we could find away to harness it dormant power?" Dario thought tuning his attention back to the viewing glass.
"Uhh Professor Carson." David was silent for he thought his ears were playing tricks on him but he keep walking closer to the sound of voices but they were coming from the wall ad he got closer to put his ear against the wall only to have it go thru it. "Whaaa!" he cried out in shock. But he continued to walk thru until he saw Professor Carson looking at large piece of glass floating in mid air. "Just what is going on Professor!" the shocked intern asked. Just the five points of the crystal converged to resemble a lighting bolt and shattered the display case and latch on to the young man's wrist. "What in the world!" he yelled as the crystal became a morpher.
