Power Rangers: Fusion

Episode V: If You're not Blue Like the Best, You'll Bleed Like the Rest Part 1

In the tall black castle that resided deep within the waters of Ronia, Andrix paced back and forth. It had been two weeks since Bloodspine attacked, far too long for Andrix's patience. The only reason he was waiting was the advice of his lead researcher, Arial who assured him that she had come up with a plan to terminate the rangers. Andrix decided to pay a visit to Arial. He walked down the halls of his castle. Other demons in the hall nailed themselves to the wall when he neared out of fear alone.

Andrix entered the research area of the castle to find Arial looking into a vial of boiling pink liquid. Arial was a female demon, one of the best looking around Andrix thought with her smooth brown shaded scales and small white horns on each temple.

"Arial, is your plan ready to take fruition?" Andrix asked.

"Yes, Andrix. The two demons I have created through genetic manipulation are over here. Follow me," she replied cooly.

Andrix followed Arial into another room where two dragon looking demons were sparring. One was orange and the other blue.

"And these are?" Andrix asked.

"The twin dragons. One controls fire and the other, ice. The rangers won't be able fight off both of them with their one megazord."

"And that's the plan? What about our pre-diamond supply?"

"Using the Gargantuan Gauntlet you can make Firis grow and attack Scale Harbor. Since all the rangers are needed for the megazord, they will all be fighting Firis. Meanwhile Icis will infiltrate the warehouse that Bloodspine attempted to and take all the pre-diamonds and then join his brother afterward."

"Are you confident this will work?"

"Yes unless the rangers are more than they appear even then, these two should be able to pull through for us."

"The rangers are always more than they appear to be. It is their nature."

"I don't have as much experience in that department."

"True. Let's hope that didn't affect your plan. Dragons! Come here!" Andrix commanded.

The two stopped their spar and bowed to each other before going over to Andrix. They then took a knee at Andrix's feet.

"Now listen here. I don't know what Arial has told you but I do not accept failure. You will kill the rangers or you will be killed. If not by them, then by me. Firis, you're with me and Icis, Arial will fill you in if she hasn't already. Firis stood up and followed Andrix out of the room.

Kira had decided that Scale Harbor was a magnificent city. She and Zeke were having a night on the town. They had already ate and now they were at the beach doing some midnight swimming. The water was ironically warm for this late at night. Zeke had told her it was due to the point that Ronia was so small the core of the planet kept the water temperatures higher than it would on any other planet.

"So how small is Ronia exactly?" Kira asked.

"Well, Scale Harbor is its biggest city," Zeke answered.

"No way."

Zeke simply nodded his head.

"This city is small compared to the cities we have on Earth."

"Yeah Andros was telling me he was even taken aback by the size of Earth's cities."

Kira swam over to Zeke and grabbed him giving him a kiss. They continued to kiss until an enormous flash of light swept over Scale Harbor followed by an explosion. They both looked up to see a giant orange dragon-like creature wreaking havoc on the city.

"Well, shit there goes a perfectly good night," Kira scowled.

"Yeah we better get the others."

"And to believe you'd be the first to suggest such a thing."

Zeke smiled. "Gotta have all of you for the megazord."

"Whatever you have to tell yourself."

They swam until they could stand up in the water. Kira opened her Fusion Morpher and pressed a button. "If Fusia hasn't told you already we've got issues and we need megazord power a-s-a-p."

"You ready?" Zeke asked.

"Ready."

"It's fusion time," Zeke shouted.

Kira and Zeke performed the Fusion Kata in unison.

"Wolf Fusion: Red!"

"Raven Fusion: White!"

Their morphing sequences took place and they were changed. They then performed the Zord Kata in unison.

"Red Wolf Fusion Zord!"

"White Raven Fusion Zord!"

Their armor left their bodies and formed into animal form. Red lightning struck Red Wolf turning it into its zord form and a white blizzard swept over White Raven turning it into its zord form. They opened up portals with their morphers.

"See you soon," Kira said before leaping into hers.

Zeke just smirked and went into his. When Red Wolf and White Raven arrived on the scene, Green Rhino and Black Ram showed up seconds after.

"Alright guys! Begin docking sequence," Zeke said over the comm.

Green Rhino turned into the body and legs. Black Ram and Red Wolf into the arms and White Raven as the head. They all materialized into a cylindric room and Zeke opened the door onto the bridge. They all took their places and Kira immediately got her key ready.

"Are we gonna need the Insectisword?" she asked.

"Yes," Zeke replied.

Kira put the key into the slot on her control panel and turned it. The Megazord put its arms on its chest and the power ball marked with the number one appeared and cracked open to reveal the Insectisword. The Megazord grabbed it and immediately attacked the dragon. The dragon made a sword of flame appear in his hands and parried the attack with it. The megazord went for a slash aimed at the dragon's legs. The orange dragon leaped into the air and fired a stream of fire at the megazord. The megazord backed off and then quickly advanced with a rolling slash that not only put a big cut into the orange dragon's leg but sent him to the ground as well. The megazord stood awaiting his next move.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the Fusion Temple another catastrophe had rose. Another monster, also a dragon-like demon except it was blue was busy attacking the same warehouse Bloodspine had attacked just two weeks earlier.

"Fusia," Master Fireseed said. "Did you contact him?"

"As soon as the attack on the warehouse occurred."

"Good then he should be here soon."

It was five minutes and Master Fireseed's patience had been broken long ago. Then suddenly, a blue portal opened and out stepped Tommy Oliver wearing black pants and a blue long-sleeved shirt.

"You called?" he said cooly.

"I'm sorry for bothering you so soon, Tommy but the city of Scale Harbor is in grave danger. One monster is at large and the rangers are handling him in the megazord as we speak however another monster is attacking a warehouse containing pre-diamonds, a mystic jewel they are attempting to use somehow."

"You've got it Fireseed. Anything to help a friend," Tommy replied.

"Excellent," Master Fireseed said as the blue seal on the floor rose into a pillar.

The seal split open revealing its contents, the Blue Fusion Morpher.

"You must understand, Tommy. The blue fusion powers are mine and I use them to stay alive. You must be back here and the morpher back in its pillar in one hour or I will die."

"I got you."

"Do you remember the Fusion Kata?" Master Fireseed asked.

Tommy simply nodded and performed it. "Pegasus Fusion: Blue!"

Out of a blue portal a metallic colored horse with metallic colored wings and a blue mane appeared. The fusion crystal from Tommy's morpher escaped its resting place and attached itself to the forehead of Blue Pegasus. Blue Pegasus split into swirling pieces of light and attached themselves to Tommy's chest, shoulders, forearms, back, head, thighs, shins, feet and the wings of Blue Pegasus attached to his back and disappeared for later summoning. Blue fire enveloped Tommy's body and when it subsided, blue spandex, black boots, a black belt with a blue pistol in its holster, blue gloves, and the bottom half of the helmet appeared.

"Your weapon, the Inferno Cannon is in Zeke's possession as the Inferno Pistol but you have the Fusion Saberpistol should you find the need for a weapon," Master Fireseed explained.

"It's alright. I won't need it."

"I figured as much. Good luck and may the power protect you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tommy came out of the blue portal and looked upon the warehouse. The place seemed empty but Tommy knew better. He slowly made his way toward the warehouse in question and peeked through the open door. Craigs as well as a blue dragon looking demon were throwing boxes around looking for the pre-diamonds. Tommy waited it out until the dragon's face lit up and he started to hand the two boxes he came for to a set of Craigs.

"Now," he said. "Andrix's master plan will see life."

Tommy saw that this was the perfect moment to butt in. "I don't think so, demon!"

"What! Who the hell said that? Show yourself!"

Tommy stepped into the doorway and revealed himself to the creature.

"Oh and you must be the blue ranger, how nice. Wait, there wasn't a blue one before, was there?"

"Now there is and that's all you need to know before you die, freak!"

"My name is Icis! And you will do well to remember it for it will be the name of your demise."

Tommy dropped into his attack stance. "Bring it on."

"Craigs! Attack!"

The four Craigs that Icis had with him attacked Tommy. Tommy leapt into the air and drop kicked one in the chest helping the Craig to the ground and then a quick kick to the throat causing a sick snap. With a shout he sent a strong kick to a Craig's head that caused it to cave in. One Craig charged at him and he reacted with a crouch and a jab through its stomach. With every Craig he killed he edged closer to Icis until the last one attacked and he sent that one screaming in flames with a blue fireball from his palm.

"So you harness the power of fire. You and my brother, Firis, would be an excellent match," Icis said with a sneer.

"Oh don't worry," Tommy said. "He's next."

"You won't get past me so it doesn't matter!"

Icis attacked forming a blade of ice in his hand and slashing Tommy with it. The blow landed on Tommy's armor. Tommy then flipped backward and drew his blue Fusion Saberpistol and converted it to saber mode. Icis was back on the warpath with a few quick strikes which Tommy parried with his saberpistol. Icis continued with an onslaught of sword swings. He started with a swing towards Tommy's head which was blocked, then a swing to Tommy's side which was blocked with a quick spin and swing downward from Tommy. Icis then spun around and swung his sword at Tommy's legs. Tommy leapt high into the air.

"Fire Saber!" Tommy shouted as his blade lit aflame.

Tommy came down from his jump blade first. Icis attempted to block but the blow shattered his ice sword and punctured his chest going all the way through. Icis' limp body slid off the blade and landed on the ground. The blue flame on Tommy's blade died down and he put the saberpistol back into its holster. He then picked up the two boxes of pre-diamonds and opened a blue portal back to the Fusion Temple.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The heated battle between the orange dragon and the Fusion Megazord continued. The fight was even so far, neither having the advantage over the other. The dragon swung his blade of fire and it was parried by the Insectisword. The megazord retaliated with a spin and a swing of its sword. The blow stopped at the blade of fire. Zeke fought with the controls to gain the upper hand but it was no use, this dragon was just too strong to muscle an attack, he would have to resort to finesse. Just as Zeke was about to back off and attack again the dragon's expression changed to one of shock and anger as if something had pissed him off to the point of no return.

The dragon stumbled backward. "Icis! No!" the dragon shouted as he disappeared in a flash of orange flame.

"What was that all about? I mean not that I'm complaining or anything but who else thought that was a little strange?" Andros commented.

"He's right Zeke. That was a little strange and who is Icis anyway?" Alyssa commented.

Zeke shrugged his shoulders and pressed the comm button on the control panel. "Master Fireseed, come in."

"I'm here what's going on?"

"Well, for some reason he decided to teleport away," Zeke replied.

"Leave the megazord assembled but park it outside the city and return to the Fusion Temple. I will explain everything."

"Right away master. Zeke out."

Zeke stood up piloted the megazord to the forest and parked it there. He stood up and opened a red portal and motioned for everyone to go through.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firis was enraged when he sensed his brother's death. They were created together so they had the ability to sense each other's condition. He arrived at his brother's location to find him bleeding his bright blue blood from a wound in his chest.

"Icis!" he growled as he knelt to his brother's side.

He was already long dead. Firis lifted his head and emitted a loud roar that could've been heard for several blocks. Firis summoned an orange flame that transported his dead brother and him to Arial's lab. He looked at Arial's shocked expression.

"Get me Andrix, now! Someone will pay for his death!" Firis ordered.

Arial immediately reacted by leaving the room. Firis cleared an area on a table and laid his brother's body on top of it.

"Do not worry, brother, your death will not be forgotten, I will avenge you."

It was at least another ten minutes when Andrix walked through the door. Firis was still hunched over his brother's body.

"Quit being weak, fool," Andrix commanded.

"Andrix, you will answer for his death!" Firis shouted.

"WHAT! The great Andrix answers to no one," Andrix boomed.

Firis remained stable and unafraid with the same hateful glare in his eyes. "You heard me Andrix."

"Maybe I won't revive your brother due to your insolence."

"What," Firis said with hope in his eyes. "You can bring him back?"

"Yes. But! With the way you just spoke to me I should destroy you and feed your brother's dead body to the Craigs!"

Firis hit the ground fast in a bow. "My lord, I apologize I was angry about my brother's death."

"You should be saving such behavior for the rangers!"

"I know my Lord. You may punish me anyway you see fit after me and my brother destroy the rangers."

"Now! That's more like it. Let us go to Scale Harbor."

A thick black goo emitted from Andrix and encompassed the whole room. When the light of day shined through the goo, Firis, Icis and Andrix were on top of a building in Scale Harbor. Firis couldn't help but smile as Andrix charged up the power in the Gargantuan Gauntlet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zeke was followed by the rest of the rangers as he came out of his red portal. Inside the control chamber was the normal scenery with the exception of another ranger, a blue one.

"Who's this!" Zeke said with doubt and anger.

"You say that like I'm not worthy," the blue ranger replied.

"I don't think you can handle it," Zeke said with challenge in his voice.

Zeke felt a tap on his shoulder and looked to see that it was Kira.

"Zeke," she said. "That's Dr. Oliver."

Zeke looked at Tommy and then at Kira and then again at Tommy. "Aw, shit."

Tommy pulled his helmet off showing a smile. "Don't worry about it, Zeke. You're forgiven."

"Now that Zeke has finished making a fool out of himself, we can move on," Master Fireseed said. "I called Tommy here for one reason, Firis, the orange dragon you fought has a brother named Icis who attacked the same warehouse Bloodspine did looking for the pre-diamonds."

"I retrieved the pre-diamonds so they wouldn't go back looking for them," Tommy said.

"You said that he just disappeared?"

"Yep," Alyssa said. "He shouted 'Icis' and disappeared."

"He probably sensed that I had killed Icis," Tommy suggested.

"No way, Dr. O, he only shouted his name," Kira said sarcastically.

Tommy smirked but Master Fireseed's expression went sour. "Kira! We don't have time for jokes."

"Sorry master. Of course," Kira apologized.

"We may have a bigger problem on our hands, Fireseed," Fusia said. "Firis and Icis have been enlarged and are attacking Scale Harbor."

"Damn! We have to work fast. Tommy, you'll have to stay here for awhile until I can get more power from the Blue Fusion Morpher. The rest of you have to get to the megazord and fend off the two dragons except for Alyssa."

"Me, master? What for?" she asked.

"In order to create the Fire Braid Megazord, Blue Pegasus needs an arm. The arm is Power Ball Three, the Gecko Zord. Lost in the final battle against the demons hundreds of years ago along with the other Power Balls. Zeke had to go on a quest to retrieve the Crab Gatling and managed to find the Insectisword on the way. Since this is your Power Ball you must find it."

"I understand," Alyssa said.

"Zeke, Kira, Andros. If things look grim, don't be afraid to call so I can get Tommy and Blue Pegasus into action."

The three simply nodded their heads. Zeke opened a red portal.

"Good luck, Alyssa and hurry," Zeke said.

"Be careful while you're at it," Andros said.

Kira shrugged. "They beat me to it, but you know what I'm saying."

She simply smiled. Zeke went through the portal followed by the others. On the other side they all took their seats at their control panels.

"Let's show these dragons what fusion power is all about!" Kira shouted enthusiastically.

Zeke smirked as he took hold of the controls.
