Chapter Seven
Chad, the Blue Ranger, stumbled backwards as electrical sparks sprang from his blue uniform. He, along with his teammates had not been expecting such a move. Then again, who would have expected to fight demonic activity first thing in the morning? He finally landed on his back. A Batling quickly approached the fallen Ranger. The marauder motioned with its sharp sword to stab Chad in the abdomen. The Blue Ranger instinctually reached for his Rescue Blaster. He was about to draw it, when energy blasts ruptured on the skin of the black demon. It stumbled side wards and onto the floor twitching in unbearable pain. Chad turned to see the Titanium Ranger with his Titanium Laser in hand. The gray and gold clad Ranger offered his hand to his teammate. Chad ignored the gesture. He jumped onto his feet and ran into the foray.
What was that for? thought Titanium Ranger as he followed his teammate into battle.
Dana and Kelsey, respectively the Pink and Yellow Rangers, were fighting off a horde of Batlings. The two were standing almost back to back. The demon troopers had nearly surrounded them. Dana, a long time officer of Lightspeed held her Rescue Blaster in hand with deadly accuracy. Kelsey, an extreme athlete and video game, had reconfigured her blaster to take shape of sword-like baton. She held it like she was Link from the Zelda series of Nintendo games. A number of Batlings surrounded the two women. As if she were on a target range, the Pink Ranger pulled her weapon's trigger repeatedly. A number of Batlings were reeling backwards onto the concrete pavement. The Yellow Rangers lunged forwards towards her approaching enemies. She moved her baton in swift upward and downward motion. She also performed sharp spins. Bright electric sparks ruptured like grenade explosives off the Batlings' skins as they reeled from Kelsey's masterful swordsmanship.
The Pink Ranger rushed to her friend's side, "You made mince meat me out of them." Kelsey smiled, as she and Dana battled the minor villians with relative ease.
The Red Ranger, Carter, had his sights set on Voltor. However, at the moment, he was fighting off Batlings. He was joined by Joel, the Green Ranger, in his fight. Chad and Ryan were not too far off. He had opted not for his handy Rescue Blaster, but his dual blaster and sword, V-Lancer. He spun himself around with his V-Lancer, in tow, slashing many of the Batlings. A few Batlings approached him. He nearly slashed them when of them locked their sword with the blade of his V-Lancer. He had to act quickly. He pulled the trigger on the base of his weapon. A laser blast struck the upper body of the enemy, stunning it. However, before the leader of the team could act was slashed in the back by one Batling. He lunged forward without any direction falling to the ground. Carter tried to position himself to get a line of fire. However, the monster was stunned by the fire of Joel's blaster.
"Need a hand, Carter?" asked Joel running with his hand outstretched. Carter nodded. He reached out for Joel's hand was pulled onto his feet.
"I hope you didn't forget me," said Voltor. The ground shoke just as sudden as the monster spoke. The Power Rangers and the remaining Batlings began to lose their balance. Electric current erupted from beneath their feet. They were all thrown off their feet friend and foe. When the Rangers landed, they moaned in pain. "What happened Rangers you no longer want to battle? Well, I just have to destroy the lot of you."
"Carter,we have gotta do something!" exclaimed Joel.
Carter in his pain lifted his head to get a clear sight of his teammates. The situation was looking bleek.
