A special upload for the anniversary of Power Rangers! This series and I are the same age, albeit I was born in June and this series aired a few months later, so that's pretty much why I hold it so close to my heart, that and I grew up watching it. I wanted to make sure to upload this chapter for today before it ended so it might seem a bit rushed, I am so sorry. -bows- Also, I wanted to show what weapon I had picked for my OC in the story as a Ranger, which may or may not surprise you, I don't know.
Thanks to all the new people who are following or Favorited this story. I really hope you can enjoy it as well don't mind that I don't make each chapter into a direct copy of the intended episode.
Disclaimer, I own nothing of this. Power Rangers belongs to Hasbro and I only own my OC, Eliza, her power as the Silver Ranger and her associated powers and Zord.
Chapter 3 - Teamwork
Stepping out of her apartment and locking the door, Eliza put her key in her pocket and pulled out a map, following it to her location. While she walked, Jason came up behind her and tapped her on her shoulder lightly. That was enough to make her jump and looked behind her. Seeing it was one of her friends and fellow Rangers, Eliza breathed, touching her chest.
"Geez, Jason, you nearly gave me a heart attack." She said, catching her breath.
"Sorry," Jason said, smiling and looked at her. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, can you help me find the high school?" Eliza said, looking at him, embarrassed. "I am not used to traveling in the city."
"Sure, I can give you a tour as well." Jason said, looking at the map in her hands.
So, Jason walked with her, telling and showing the direction to head to the high school. The two also talked quietly about their feelings about being Rangers, admiring their new communicators and their thoughts on their unique leader, Zordon, with his assistant, Alpha. Eliza smiled and told Jason about her thoughts on the other Rangers and how she felt accepted by them since she had a feeling that they knew that she was different in a certain way, but they weren't asking her about it til both side felt ready, so she was grateful that they weren't forcing her to talk about her life. While they were talking, they arrived at the school.
"Welcome to Angel Grove High," Jason said, smiling. Eliza smiled and nodded, folding the map and putting it in her bag.
Jason directed her to the principal's office and she headed to the office, registering as a new student in the school as she had explained to the principal that she had talked to him on the phone and things were prepared for her, getting a schedule and a combination to a empty locker. Bowing politely, she left the office and Jason offered to give a tour of the school. As it turned out, she had her locker next to Jason's, Eliza smiled and opened her locker, putting her books in and breathed. She walked with Jason, exploring the school. The two were joined by Billy and Zach who helped her navigate the school as well.
While walking, the four Rangers found Kimberly and Trini asking for the passing students to sign a petition about shutting down a dump site. Seeing them, Eliza waved and walked up with the boys.
"Hey, girls." She said, smiling. They smiled and waved back.
"Hey, ladies." Zach said, "What's up?"
"Looks like you're attracting a crowd." Jason added.
"You conducting a campaign of some kind?" Billy asked, looking curious.
"We're going to deliver these petitions to the dump site owners today." Trini said, looking at them. Eliza nodded, smiling at their noble efforts.
Kimberly nodded, saying, "Yeah, maybe we can convince them to clean up the mess. You guys wants to sign?"
"Sure." Eliza said, getting given a clipboard and signing her name, Jason, Billy, and Zach followed, doing the same and Eliza gave her the clipboard back.
"Come with us this afternoon, you guys." Trini asked, looking hopeful. Suddenly, the rest of the Rangers looked embarrassed and awkward.
"I'd love to but I have a karate class that I have to teach later and, I mean, it's a great cause but..." Jason said, looking embarrassed, "I can't bug out on my students."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but I have to back out too." Eliza said, rubbing her hair and smiling nervously. "I am gonna be part of his class, so I can't ditch on my first karate class."
"I also must decline." Billy admitted. "See, I'm president of the science fair committee and today is our first meeting."
"Uh, I'd love to, ladies," Zach said, looking at them with a nervous smile. "But, Alpha... He said he had something super important to talk to about, right away. I promised to meet him. Sorry."
"It's okay." Kimberly said, as she and Trini looked unimpressed with their friends' excuses.
Trini added, "Kimberly and I will go alone then. But it would be a lot more impressive if we acted as a team."
"Right." Eliza said, touching her communicator and looking embarrassed.
"Sorry, girls." Jason said, looking down.
But understanding it, Trini said, "But thanks for signing the petitions, you guys."
"Yeah, thanks." Kimberly said. Jason, Billy, and Zach walked off while Eliza decided to stay behind to ask Kimberly for the best route from the school to the Juice Bar.
Before she could ask, there was a belch and she looked behind her, groaning as she saw the oh-so-wonderful duo of Bulk and Skull, being their usual selves with a girl who tried to look like a punk with them.
'How in the world are these two in high school?' Eliza thought to herself, running a hand through her hair and sighed, crossing her arms as she recalled the two in her past encounters with them.
"Hey, miss Earth," Bulk said, trying to insult them. He dropped a soda can, and said, "Recycle that."
"Get a life, Bulk." Kimberly said, not looking impressed with the two female Rangers.
"Why don't you take this to the dump with you, miss clean?" Skull said, taking his can and crushing it. He tried to toss it at them but Eliza quickly caught it and looked at them, the two shocked and surprised at how quick she caught it.
However, a passing student came by and put one of the cans in the recycling bin. Needless to say, Bulk and Skull weren't happy and decided to dump the trash on them. Not taking their bullies, Trini was the first to speak out.
"Okay, that does it!" Trini said, looking at them. "You're way out of line!"
Seeing as they had forgotten their first beating by Eliza and thinking that they, as tough strong male punks, were smarter and could outwit three seemingly weak and dumb girls, Bulk had his female punk kick the recycling bin, but luckily Kimberly flipped it and Eliza stopped the bin from crushing into the protest display. Seeing Kimberly's skills, Skulk crossed his arms and looked at her.
"Guess you finally flipped over me." He said, sarcastically.
"Come on, let's get it!" Bulk said, angry at her for dodging their move.
Eliza smiled as Kimberly back-flipped, causing Bulk and Skulk hit each other in a accidental hug, which made them scream. Laughing with Trini, Eliza watched them push away from each other and falling into trash cans. She walked up to Bulk with Trini and crossed her arms, smiling at his own embarrassment and shook her head at him.
"Well, it looks like it's time to take out the trash." Kimberly joked, looking at him.
"And deliver these petitions." Trini added, smiling.
The three female Rangers left Bulk and Skull stuck in the cans, and Eliza finally asked Kimberly how to get to the Juice Bar from the high school. Kimberly and Trini told her the best route and wished that she could come with them, Eliza smiled, looking down and waved at them and headed to the Juice Bar. She headed into the changing room and changed into her karate gi, her mind staying on Kimberly and Trini, worried about them going alone considering who they were fighting against and despite them being able to beat her, she kept coming back up.
She stepped onto the mat for the class, but Jason noticed her mind was still on the two other girls of their team, he also worried about them and just taught his class, not wanting to worry the rest of his students.
Meanwhile, Kimberly and Trini made it to the dump site, the two girls felt disgusted and sicken by the sight of the dump site. Kimberly covered her mouth as not to vomit at the sights of the dump site, Trini rubbed her back and looked around for any sign of the owners. Though unsure why, she had felt that something was not right here and began to guess a certain sorceress was at work, not liking the uneasy silence that surrounded them.
"This is gross." Kimberly said, shaking.
"What do you suppose that stuff is?" Trini asked, looking at a puddle of dark brown water.
"I don't think I want to know." Kimberly told her.
As they began to walk through the empty dump site, Kimberly began to get the same feeling. She tightly held the clipboard and walked with Trini, looking for someone to hand the petitions to. But there was no one who could be given the petitions, and the silence made the girls feel scared and uneasy.
"Well, it doesn't look like there's anybody here to give these petitions to." Kimberly said, looking around.
"Then why does it feel like we're being watched?" Trini said, looking with her.
Suddenly, a group of Putties appeared, confirming their worries and suspicions why the area was so quiet. Kimberly and Trini got ready to fight, but a new person appeared, a young man with a bo staff, swinging it and attacking the Putties. Seeing as their new ally was fighting the Putties, Kimberly and Trini began to fight the clay formed minions of the space witch that they were fighting, luckily the new ally seem to realize that the Putties weren't the brightest so he was able to use that to fight them.
Rita had seen the the girls were fighting and ignoring the new person who was fighting the Putties, she suggested to send the monster down with them distracted. However, the Command Center was able to pick up on the alert that Kimberly and Trini were in trouble and Zach was alerted since he was already there to teach Alpha how to dance.
"Zachary, Alpha," Zordon spoke, appearing in his tube. "The girls are in trouble. The Putties have them outnumbered at the waste dump."
"Oh, no!" Alpha said, sounding worried. "Girls in trouble, girls in trouble! What are we going to do, Zordon?!"
"Bring the rest of the team here to help." Zordon said, calmly. Then he called them on their communicators, "Jason, Eliza, Billy, teleport here immediately. It's urgret."
The three appeared in their respective colors, Eliza looked at the imprisoned sage as Jason asked, "What's up?"
"Kimberly and Trini are in trouble." Zordon explained.
"Fellas, take a look." Zach said, leading them to the Viewing Globe to see Kimberly and Trini fighting against the Putties with their unknown ally. Eliza seemed to recognized the unknown person, Zach said, "We got to help them."
"There is no time to lose." Zordon said. "Get to the dump site immediately... Wait, Rita has sent down a monster. You'd better deal with him first. I'll monitor the girls from here."
"It's a menacing Minotaur." Billy said, surprised. Eliza sighed and rolled her shoulders, getting ready for the fight.
"It's Morphin Time!" Jason said, the four of them changing into their Ranger forms to face the Minotaur. Billy and Zach tried to attack, but the Minotaur used its shield to block, Eliza pulled out a grenade and tossed it after removing the pin. Covering when it exploded, the smoke disappeared to see the Minotaur was still standing.
'Damn, this thing is tougher than the last two that she sent.' She thought, looking at the Minotaur.
Back with the girls and their new friends, the boy looked around and gasped for air as the girls finished the remaining Putties and looked at the person who helped them in fighting the Putties. The unique thing they found about him was he had heterochromia in his eyes, he had a right amber eye and a left gray eye. He spun his bo staff and collapsed it into a sizable stick that hung on his belt.
"Uh, thanks for all your help." Kimberly said, the boy nodded and walked off.
After he left, Alpha contacted them, saying that Eliza, Jason, Zach, and Billy were fighting a Minotaur and to make matters extra worse, Goldar had been sent down, so they needed to morph and join up with the others in order to work together as a team and defeat the Minotaur as well as Goldar. After they changed, Kimberly and Trini were sent to where Goldar was with another troop of Putties.
The two girls worked together, showing the golden armored warrior that they could take out the Putties. But suddenly, Goldar began to attack Kimberly.
"Kim, call the others!" Trini shouted, holding Goldar back from attacking her. "Get help!"
"Right!" Kimberly said, nodding and calling the others while Trini was left to fight Goldar.
However, watching the two groups fighting their separate enemies, Alpha was worried cause they still had their hands full. Zordon accepted, realizing that this was the toughest situation that they had faced so far. Deciding to tell them the secrets of their power weapons, Zordon was going to call them back. The four fighting the Minotaur had a tough time as the two other grunts were tossing boulders from above.
'You have got to be kidding me!' Eliza thought, facepalming as the Minotaur was turned into a giant. Its giant form alerted the girls to the others and it was agreed that everyone called on their DinoZords, using each of their Zords' unique weapons to finish off the Putties and fight Goldar and the Minotaur as Goldar retreated to his headquarters. Eliza used the hammer-like tail of her Ankylosaurus DinoZord to hit the Minotaur while Billy had used the hooks to hold it back.
Then the Zords were brought together to form the Megazord, however even its power wasn't enough to defeat the Minotaur so they were called back to the Command Center for new instructions.
"Your questions will be answered in due time." Zordon explained. "Your Zords have been returned to their hiding places and I will now reveal new powers and weapons. Behold."
Billy was given a three bladed two sided lance with the symbol of the Triceratops, Zordon said, "Billy, this is your Power Lance - A weapon of great power and range."
Kimberly received a white bow with red markings along with a quiver of arrows, Zordon told her, "Kimberly, behold your Power Bow - Accurate and strong."
To Jason, he was given a broadsword with a red guard and golden markings along with the symbol of the Tyrannosaurus, Zordon said, "Jason, this is your Power Sword - Key to all the weapons' powers."
Zach looked as he got a ax colored in black and yellow, the emblem of the Mastodon near the top, Zordon said, "Zachary, behold the Power Ax - Lighting quick and hard as diamond."
Trini held her hands to obtain a pair of short bladed daggers in yellow with the emblem of the Saber-toothed Tiger, Zordon said, "Trini, your Power Daggers are feather-light and true as arrows."
Lastly, Eliza looked as a silver hammer with the emblem of the Ankylosaurus at the hilt appeared in her hands, Zordon told her, "Eliza, behold the Power Hammer - Hard as rock and able to crack the very earth in half."
"Use these weapons together and you will be unstoppable." Zordon said, hoping to encourage them to work together and defeat the monster.
"That Minotaur is history!" Jason said, holding his new weapon in his hands as they headed back to the battlefield. As they headed back, he gave his plan, "We give the Minotaur a taste of our weapons. If that doesn't work, we'll bring them together and give him a blast of our megapower." Everyone agreed and landed at the battlefield.
When they arrived, they summoned their weapons. Eliza ran up and swung her hammer, hitting the Minotaur with Jason as they each attacked. Each pair of attack was able to send the Minotaur flying to the ground and suddenly their weapons started to glow and Zordon's voice was heard.
"Rangers, the time is right to about these weapons together." He said, "Act together as one."
"Let's do it!" Jason said, everyone nodded in agreement as they placed their weapons in the right position. First Zach formed the base with his Power Ax, changing it from a ax to a blaster, next Kimberly had her bow placed horizontally on the Ax, then Trini added her Daggers on the bow, splitting his Lance, Billy added his weapon and next Eliza added her Hammer which added a shoulder rest and lastly, Jason added the Power Sword, forming the new weapon as a crossbow.
Standing together with the new weapon, the Rangers fired it at the Minotaur, finally defeating it for good. Eliza smiled and wondered where the strange man who helped Kimberly and Trini went. After some time, the Rangers headed back to the school and Eliza smiled, walking with the others.
"Things sure work out when we work as a team, huh?" Trini said, smiling.
"Maybe with a little teamwork, we'll get the dump site closed yet." Billy said, looking at her and Kimberly. Eliza hugged Kimberly who smiled and hugged her back. Just then the principal appeared and saw the mess from the incident from earlier with Bulk and Skull. Seeing the Rangers being the only ones in the hall, he assumed it was them but he was called away before he could deliver his punishment. The six Rangers nodded and cleaned up the mess.
When the principal returned, the six students acted like there wasn't a mess and he was surprised, so he left and Zordon called them, leaving Zach embarrassed as he told them that Alpha was practicing his dancing and thus hitting the control panels, making a bit unstable to talk through the communicator. Eliza laughed and hugged Zach with a arm.
Like I said, it's probably not a surprise that Eliza has a hammer for her weapon since well, the dino she has with her form as a Ranger, I was thinking of having small bumps on the hammer to further represent the Ankylosaurus' tail or even a button to give the hammer spikes, but thought against it and made it a simple hammer to use. As for the new character, he won't become a Ranger, he'll know the secret, just won't become one since I can't think of what his color and dino would be. I promise to spend more time on the next chapter.
Speaking of, in the next chapter, Jason struggles to admit he needs help, Eliza meets up with the mysterious man, a new monster appears to attack the Rangers, Eliza helps Jason try to break a record. This has been WhiteRose-Aki, see you all in the next chapter. Please, R&R if you enjoyed it.
