Power Rangers: Fusion
Episode VI: If You're not Blue Like the Best, You'll Bleed Like the Rest Part 2
Alyssa watched as her friends disappeared into the red portal. She then turned to Master Fireseed.
"Alright, where's this Gecko Zord?" Alyssa asked.
"The Gecko Zord was swallowed by the earth due to an earthquake created by one of Andrix's monsters hundreds of years ago. The key to get it started is here."
A compartment on one of the computer terminals near Master Fireseed's tank opened to reveal three silver cylinders. Alyssa walked over and took the one with the number three etched on it. She put it into her belt buckle like she saw Kira and Zeke do.
"Fusia, upload the coordinates of the sight to Alyssa's Fusion Morpher."
Alyssa opened her morpher and looked on the display screen that had a message that confirmed the upload. She pointed her morpher and a black portal opened. She stepped through it and came out in a vastly forested area.
Well damn this is a lot of area to cover.
She searched around the forested area when she neared an underpass. She looked over to see a pile of boulders.
A cave maybe?
She walked up to it and searched around it. She saw that there was a crack in the boulders. When she looked through she could tell there was an open area behind it. She stood to the side of the pile of boulders and extended her hands. She concentrated and summoned the power of the black wind. The wind came and swept the boulders out of the way. She opened her morpher and scrolled through the menus until she came to what she was looking for. She pressed the button and the eyes of the Ram on her helmet shined brightly, lighting her way through the dark cave. As she continued through the cave all seemed well until she heard a strange sound.
What was that?
She decided to ignore it and continue through the cave until she heard it again but this time it was closer. She started to become worried now. She pulled her Saberpistol out and gripped it tightly. The sound came again but this time she knew from where. With her Ram Speed she turned around and ran behind the seven foot tall lizard man and kicked it a few times in the back sending it to the ground. She then hopped over it and continued to run through the cave corridors.
"Master Fireseed, come in."
"Yes," Master Fireseed replied.
"There are these big ass lizard creatures in this cave."
"Be careful, they're carnivorous."
"What are they?"
"Oversized subterranean lizards. Not too uncommon in the caves of Ronia."
"Well, shit. Alyssa out."
Alyssa continued through the corridors. She wasn't too far in when she realized the lizard men were tracking her. She didn't care. All that mattered to her was getting to the Gecko Zord in order to help her friends. She only hoped she wouldn't be too late.

Zeke was having one hell of a time in Scale Harbor against Firis and Icis. In its right hand, the Insectisword and in its left, the Crab Gatling. Zeke jumped back a step and opened a hail of fire from the Crab Gatling into the two dragons. Even though the blasts were successful, they seemed to do very little. The two dragons attacked in unison. Zeke managed to bring the Insectisword up for a block just in time. The sword of fire and ice were pushing down on the Insectisword while Zeke struggled to maintain control.
"The hydraulics in the arm are taking too much strain, Zeke. You gotta do something," Andros warned with unease in his voice.
"I'm trying, Andros, I'm trying," Zeke replied.
Zeke brought up the other arm with the Crab Gatling and opened fire getting the two dragons and the megazord some space.
"Better, Andros?" Zeke asked.
"Affirmative."
Firis with a swift swing sent the megazord a couple steps back and then a blast from Icis immobilized it for a strong kick from Firis that sent it into the water.
"Let's have a little fun brother, you go get them. You know how much I hate the water," Firis said.
Icis smiled and shook his head. Icis leapt into the water and immediately swung his ice blade toward the megazord. The blow was narrowly parried by the still partially frozen megazord. A quick kick from Icis solved the problem as the remaining ice shattered. Zeke jammed the controls forward causing the megazord to lunge toward Icis. A quick snap back created a feint that Icis fell for. The megazord swung around, the insectisword with it and tripped Icis with a slice into his legs. Icis fell to the watery surface and as he tried to roll away he caught the insectisword's blade in his side. As soon as the blow landed a ball of fire struck the megazord sending it to the water with Icis.
"Dammit! I can take Icis but if Firis is just gonna sit there and shoot me!" Zeke said aloud.
"I'll see if I can get Dr. O to help," Kira said as she pressed the comm button. "Dr. O, we really need you."
"Yeah, maybe he can send Firis into the water," Andros said excitedly.
"You here that, doc?" Kira asked.
"Over and out," Tommy responded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy walked away from the comm panel as the blue pillar came from the ground in front of Master Fireseed.
"Are you sure?" Tommy asked.
"Yes, Tommy, I'm sure. I'll live just come back when I tell you to," Master Fireseed said.
Tommy nodded as he strapped the Fusion Morpher to his wrist. "It's fusion time," Tommy shouted as he performed the Fusion Kata. "Pegasus Fusion: Blue!"
In seconds he was morphed and opened a blue portal that lead him to a building in the city. He looked out and saw Firis standing there watching the Fusion Megazord fight Icis.
Surprise!
"Blue Pegasus Fusion Zord!" Tommy shouted as he performed the Zord Kata.
The armor that protected him left his body and formed Blue Pegasus. Then, an inferno of blue flame surrounded Blue Pegasus and it transformed into a giant and more blue version of itself. Tommy opened a portal that lead him into the cockpit. He moved the controls and Blue Pegasus galloped towards Firis.
Tommy backed the controls and Blue Pegasus took flight. Upon reaching Firis, Blue Pegasus dropped the back portion of its body and delivered a fly-by kick to Firis' back sending him straight into the ocean.
"Alright!" Kira's voice screamed through the comm.
Firis screamed in agony as he struggled to free himself of the ocean. When he reached dry land he created another fire sword and aimed it at Blue Pegasus.
"You'll pay for that!" he screamed and charged toward Blue Pegasus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alyssa had been wandering down these caves fighting off the huge lizards along the way for at least half an hour and was growing restless until she turned a corner and found torches lining the walls. Her eyebrow perked as she continued through the caves with caution.
Alyssa slowly and quietly pulled her Ram Head Staff from her back and extended it. She felt safer with it in her hands. It reminded her of her Tiger Baton when she was the White Wild Force Ranger. The feeling brought back the memories and it was those memories that caused her to agree to Tommy's proposition. She knew that if he had gone to Danny, Merrick, Cole, Max, or even Taylor, they would've done it, no questions asked so she agreed.
At this particular moment she wished she hadn't because even though the cave didn't scare her one bit, the fact that they have torches lining these walls did. There were one of two outcomes to this scenario that she could think of, they worship the Gecko Zord and it's this way or this is the way to their home and she won't be so lucky when she gets there.
As she continued through the cave she wasn't attacked, as a matter of fact she hadn't even heard any of the lizard men tracking her anymore. This made her feel a little awkward. Then she took a turn and there it was, the Gecko Zord. The Gecko Zord was black with yellow diamonds starting at its head an continued to its tail. It was in a massive cavern. She was right when she thought that they worshiped it because the zord was surrounded by altars and shrines and such. The bad thing was that she was also right about this being their home. It was as if the perfume she was wearing had escaped her body and covered the entire cavern because every lizard man in sight turned to look at her.
"I hope it wasn't something I said?" she said sarcastically.
With that said the lizard men screeched and charged at her.
Damn! Didn't want this to get bloody but they insisted.
Alyssa used her Ram Speed and met their charge with her own. Through her eyes they were moving slow and she was moving normally. She ran up to one of the lizard men and thrust her staff into its gut sending him flying back. Then a spin and another blow to another one's gut with the other end. She swung the head of the staff upward and clocked one in the jaw sending him to the ground spitting blood. The others grew more cautious and circled her. Inch by inch they moved closer and she waited. When they got close she went into a low crouch. She gripped her staff toward the bottom with one hand.
"Tornado Staff!" she shouted as a black tornado formed beneath her and sent her body spinning into the air.
The Ram Head Staff she now clutched with two hands, smacked into all of the lizard men sending them into the ground. When she landed she flipped open her morpher.
"Master Fireseed! I found it now how do I get it started," she said urgently as more lizard men began to emerge.
"There should be a control panel on its head. When you reach it, call back for further instructions," Master Fireseed replied.
"Easier said than done," she said as she closed her morpher.
More lizard men were surrounding her. She quickly looked around scanning the area. She noticed a ladder leading to the top of the zord on its left side. But the surrounding lizard men were blocking her path.
Cake.
She charged, this time not using her Ram Speed. She dove toward one, twisted her body around so her back was facing the ground, then as she just about landed jammed the staff into the lizard man's crouch. The lizard man shrilled in pain as she rolled to her feet. She delivered a kick to its head and he collapsed. Two more approached quickly on both her sides. She leapt toward one giving it a kick into the face and then swung her staff backward and smacking the other one in the face as well. They both hit the ground.
She ran to the ladder and began climbing it. The lizard men gave chase and followed her up the ladder as well. Having a head start she got to the top unscathed. Upon reaching the top she stood with triumph on her face.
"If you guy's had half a brain, you'd know what was coming next."
She jammed the butt end of her staff between the zord and the ladder and used it as a lever to tip it over. The ladder shattered upon impact and the lizard men let out sounds of lost breath. Alyssa couldn't help but smirk. She rushed over to the head of the Gecko Zord while collapsing her staff and attaching it to her back. The control panel was covered by a white plate that wasn't labeled but she knew that this had to be it. She opened the panel and then flipped her morpher open.
"Alright, master, I'm here," she said into the comm.
"There should be a screen, turn it on," he instructed.
She did as she was told and a message came up that read; 'Self repairs completed 378 years ago, hydraulic fluid and oil servicing required for operation.'
"It says that the self repairs were completed it just needs hydraulic fluid and oil."
"Excellent. I'll get Fusia to open a large portal that'll bring you and the zord back here just don't go anywhere and hold on to something."
"You got it master."
A few seconds later the floor of the cavern lit with a black light. The lizard men, confused ran away from it.
At least they won't be coming too.
Then suddenly the zord fell through the floor and landed in the forest outside of the Fusion Temple. She looked down to see the familiar sight of the robo-drones. They had two different trucks and they went to work right away pumping the necessary fluids into the zord.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle between the zords and the dragons took a turn for the worst. Blue Pegasus couldn't handle the strength of Firis and was losing terribly. The Fusion Megazord was holding its own against Icis until Blue Pegasus needed its help. Even though Zeke was holding off the two dragons, the megazord was damaged significantly.
"Zeke, I don't know if we can handle this," Tommy said over the comm.
"We can't retreat, Scale Harbor depends on us!" Zeke shouted back, disturbing the trickles of sweat that settled in his face.
"We might just have to, Zeke! Some of the hydraulic systems are ready to burst!" Andros shot back.
"Yeah and the engines are overheating as well. What good are we if we make it so we can't defend the city at all?" Kira said in agreement.
"NO! Dammit! We're not giving up!" Zeke shouted in frustration. "You hear me, Tommy, we're not giving up!"
"Who's talking about giving up? No faith, no faith at all," a familiar voice said over the comm.
"Alyssa!" Tommy, Zeke, Andros, and Kira all said at once.
"That's right and I got the Gecko Zord! Tommy, prepare to create the Fire Braid Megazord!"
"You got it Alyssa! Fire Braid Megazord docking sequence engage!" Tommy shouted as his zord went at full gallop toward the oncoming Gecko Zord. Blue Pegasus took to the air and its back split to form the thighs of the legs. Upon landing, one of Blue Pegasus' two front legs swivelled over to the other side and joined with the other one forming the right arm. The Gecko Zord leapt into the air while its jaw retracted and a fist came from the empty space. The Gecko Zord's four legs folded into its body and it split to form the elbow. The head of Blue Pegasus folded down to form the chest plate revealing another head where the horse's head once was.
"Alright! Let's show these dragons what we're about," Alyssa said as she came through a black portal onto the bridge of the Fusion Megazord. Her presence brought a smile to everyone's face even Zeke's. Zeke was surprised he let such emotion escape his face but he was happy that this was going to be over shortly.
"Let's rock! Tommy, take Icis since he can't take the heat, I'll cool down Firis," Zeke said.
"You got it!"
Zeke immediately opened fire with the Crab Gatling knocking Firis toward the beach. He then leapt towards him and drop kicked him moving him more toward the beach.
"Zeke, the meters are sky-rocketing, you can't push the megazord like this!" Alyssa exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I got a handle on it," Zeke said with confidence.
It was the kind of confidence that allowed everyone to feel more at ease and stop focusing on the meters and trust in his abilities.
Zeke continued his onslaught with a couple of sword slashes and then a roundhouse that sent Firis into the ocean once again struggling to escape its grasp but his time, he didn't have Icis to help. The megazord leapt into the ocean and grabbed Firis by the shoulders holding him while the water began to break down his molecular structure.
"Zeke! It's working!" Andros said excitedly.
Zeke simply looked back at him with a cocky expression. "Of course it is, I thought of it."
In seconds Firis had completely dissolved in a cloud of gray smoke.
"Tommy, the Fusion Megazord is pretty damaged, can you handle Icis?" Zeke asked over the comm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, yeah, his ass is mine," Tommy responded cooly.
Tommy moved the controls quickly and grabbed Icis by the shoulders giving him a quick head butt. Then Tommy activated the flamethrowers equipped to the mouth of the Fire Braid. Icis screamed and grabbed his melting face as blue flame rubbed against it. Tommy then extended the arm that belonged to Blue Pegasus and fired the big flamethrower from it. He didn't stop until Icis managed to stumble away from its radius. Partially melted he attempted to fire a blast of ice at the Fire Braid and missed. The Fire Braid took to the sky and came down fist first. The fist penetrated Icis' chest and then he completely melted around its arm.
"Woohoo! That's color number five and still kicking ass and taking names!" Tommy shouted in victory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's a damn shame that Tommy had to leave again," Zeke said swirling his straw around in his milk shake.
The Fusion Rangers decided it was time for some much needed R and R. Although Kira had to almost literally drag Zeke along but it ended well. They were sitting at a table outside of a drive-thru fast food restaurant.
"I'm just glad those two are gone," Alyssa said.
"Seriously, I hope we never get double teamed again," Andros said in agreement.
"I wouldn't mind, Tommy's the greatest," Zeke said entranced by the swirling milkshake.
Zeke felt a smack on his hand that interrupted his swirling. "Hello, anyone home?" Kira asked.
The others laughed at the site while Zeke put on his sour face. He was never much for humor, he figured he hasn't needed it for the last twenty years, why now? But something inside of him turned his sour face into a smile and he began to laugh.
THE END
