Power Rangers: Ninja Storm

Episode 31: "Savage Storm, Part 2"

After "Savage Storm, Part 1" and before "Savage Storm, Part 3."

Back in the cave where the real wild force rangers were being held, they gasped as they saw Chizubo enter the cave.

"Well, well, well, Wild Force Rangers. Looks like you're not so tough without your morphers? And it seems your little perky friend has escaped," the large blue alien taunted.

Cole grunted as he tugged on his ropes. "You'll never get away with this! Even right now, Alyssa's stopped your plan," he said with a grin.

Chizubo slapped him with his pointed spear, "Silence ranger!"

"Cole!" Princess Shayla panicked.

Cole glared at the fat alien as he mumbled off.

--Ninja Ops—

Sensei sat patiently near Cam's computer while the 6 rangers listened intently to Alyssa's story.

"We were all coming back from our trips around the world, but no one had heard word of Merrick. We were all so glad to hear that Princess Shayla had awakened that we forgot she only awoke when evil orgs had returned…We were tricked; Chizubo had us outnumbered, and he took our growl phones after he kidnapped us and Princess Shayla. We tried to call Merrick…but Chizubo had our growl phones.

Then, Chizubo took us to a cave and put these stamps on our necks," she stopped and pointed to her neck before continuing. "These stamps give him the ability to electrocute us whenever he's near…

When Chizubo left, Princess Shayla used the last bit of energy she had and set me free since I was the smallest. I…I haven't seen them since…and now our Growl Phones are in their possession."

Hunter folded his arms while she was talking, taking everything into account, "Wait. You said Princess Shayla only woke up when there was an org…where are the orgs?"

--The Cave—

"Damn it…" Cole swore as he laid back against the wall Chizubo had chained them to "We're never gonna get out of here…"

"That's not true," Danny said, looking up, "Remember…we have to have faith in Alyssa. The Ninja Rangers will be here, and we'll get out of this."

Cole nodded, but insincerely. Just try and think about something else…like maybe that dark red ranger I saw on that screen…

He mentally slapped himself, No…gotta stay focused on positive, non-sexual thoughts.

"Ha-ha, we'll see…once my evil Wild Rangers meet the ninja rangers in battle again, they'll be destroyed. How does that strike you?" Chizubo snickered as his belt flashed, causing the stamps on the rangers necks to electrocute them.

"Agh!"

--Ninja Ops—

"Rangers, you must not hesitate to fight the enemy this next time. They may carry ranger powers, but you have no choice but to destroy them…once their power is acquired you can give it back to the Wild Force Rangers. We must defeat the enemy first, then rescue the Wild Rangers," Sensei spoke to them, his whiskers twitching some.

Hunter's eyes widened, "So…that means…Lothor's goons are the ones using the morphers! There's no spell involved!"

"Exactly," Shane concluded, "I knew something was off! Don't worry Sensei, we'll take care of 'em."

"Yeah, Alyssa, we'll get your Growl Phones back, and your friends," Tori said with a smile.

Alyssa nodded, beaming, "Thank you Ninja Rangers!"

"Alright…so this is the plan," Shane began, "Thunder Rangers, you guys go in first and—"

"Wait," Hunter interrupted, "Even if we find the Growl Phones and get them, the Wild Force Rangers will still be in Chizubo's possession and he'll use them as bargaining tools or just destroy them. We have to find that cave first…and I have an idea."

--The Cave—

"Well Wild Force Rangers…you've begun to bore me, and I promised some old friends of mine I'd let them have a go at you," Chizubo said, "They've got a real score to settle with you."

"What?" Cole wondered.

"Orgs!" Taylor summed up, her fears coming true.

"Hello rangers," a familiar voice came.

"Toxica! And—and Jindrax! What are you doing?" Taylor demanded.

"Well, we were in the neighborhood and we figured we'd pay you a visit to show you what a real org can do…" Jindrax said cockily, placing his hands on hips.

With a snap of his fingers, Chizubo made the rangers chains fall off, then turned to Jindrax and Toxica, "Do as you see fit, I have unfinished business to take care of."

"Certainly," Toxica replied evilly.

--Ninja Ops—

"Alright, those fake Wild Rangers are goin' down!" Shane said, standing.

"Right! We're gonna take them down Ninja Style!" commented Dustin.

"Alyssa, this is dangerous, but if you want to come, I understand…after all, you are the noble Tiger," Tori laughed.

Alyssa agreed with a smile and nod, "Wild Force never gives up!"

--The Cave—

Jindrax slammed a giant foot down on Danny's bruised chest, the black ranger crying out in pain.

"Let him go!" Max shouted pitifully, jumping on the duke Org's back.

Toxica pulled Max off Jindrax's back, then tossed him to the ground, "I thought you were the Surging Shark…right now you seem more like a waterless guppy," Toxica laughed.

Max groaned in pain as a response.

Taylor roundhouse kicked at Jindrax, then gave him a one two punch, only to be kneed and then tossed into a wall.

"Taylor!" Cole sputtered as Toxica punched the Red Wild Force ranger in the jaw, then proceeded to snap kick him in the stomach.

"Rangers!" Shayla yelled over the commotion. She couldn't bare to see them like that. "Stop it you evil hag! You lied to us! You told us you were finding yourselves! Don't you remember, the human-Org war is over!"

Toxica turned quickly and glared at Shayla, "It's not over until we say it's over! And it's back with a vengeance!"

--Ninja Rangers—

Shane, Tori, Dustin, Hunter, Blake, and Alyssa ran as fast as they could through the rock quarry, unmorphed, and knowing the Wild Rangers were looking for them.

Sure enough, demorphed, they stepped in their way, "Ah!" they gasped as they came to a stop.

"You again. Why don't you be a good white kitty and turn yourself in!" the evil Alyssa mocked.

"Why don't you find your own wild zords and outfits!" Alyssa fired back.

"Good one," Tori said quickly.

"Tell us where the Wild Force rangers are!" Shane demanded.

At first, the fake wild force rangers only looked at each other, the began to sputter in laughter.

"Are you blind or just crazy? You must have a mental problem, because we're right here," the evil Cole said obviously.

Max smiled, looking at Tori, "See Danny, I told you she was smoking. Female blue ranger of water…how's about I give you a free kiss, a very rare occasion."

Tori didn't have time to reply.

"It should be fun to watch them suffer at the power of the real spirits of the earth," Danny mused.

"Ninja Rangers, when are you going to learn you just can't beat us? Even with that useless, washed up pussy-cat ranger," Alyssa's clone said shrewdly.

"It's done, they know who we are…so let's show them who we really are," Taylor said.

"You love to rain on our parade, don't you?" Fake Alyssa asked.

"It matters not, we'll destroy them anyway," Danny said in a slobbery voice not quite like his own.

"I know that voice!" Shane noticed.

"Zurgane!" Dustin called.

With a cruel laugh, the Fake Wild Rangers dissipated in their colors, leaving Shimazu in Max's place, Zurgane in Danny's, Motodrone in Cole's, Mara in Alyssa's place, and Kapri in Taylor's place.

"I knew it!" Tori said, "Ew! Shimazu was hitting on me!"

"Later Tor, now we've gotta take on these posers," Shane said.

"It's time for us to take care of them, once and for all," Hunter said.

"I agree Hunter! It's time to end this!"

"You'll never use the power of the Real Guardians of the Earth!" Alyssa insulted.

"Would you like your phone back?" Marah asked in a fake voice, "Because I can always destroy the rangers first, and then give you your phone in full payback!"

"It's time to take them out, once and for all," Motodrone said, "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Wild Access!"

Each villain went into the wild rangers custom morph, their wild zord creating their helmet until it was complete.

"Soaring Eagle! Wild Force Yellow…sheah!" Kapri shouted.

"Surging Shark! Wild Force Blue…hah!" said Shimazu.

"Iron Bison! Wild Force Black…tada!" Zurgane called.

"Noble Tiger! Wild Force White! Meow!" Marah mimicked.

"Blazing Lion! Wi-hi-hi-hi-uld" Motodrone sputtered, a slight dribble of black liquid seeping through his mouth; "Ugh I need an oil change…Wild Force Red!"

"Ah…" Blake sighed in wonder, "What…was that…?"

"Destroyers of the Earth…United, we roar! Power Rangers…" Motodrone said, changing some lines.

"Wild Force!" they chorused.

"Shane, take the others, remember the plan! Get the Wild Force Rangers!" Hunter commanded.

"Hurry, we'll hold them off!" Blake said.

"Be careful!" Shane said.

"Just a moment!" a familiar voice called, coming in a green ninja streak, sparking up the Wild Rangers.

"Cam!" Dustin said excitedly.

"That's the name! Listen guys, we don't have much time! You've got to go and get the Wild Rangers. Go! Hurry!"

"We'll be right back Cam, promise!" Shane said as they began to run off.

"No! No! Hey come back!" Motodrone shouted after them.

"Agh…it's no use," Shimazu said, "They'll never win. What will four washed up rangers get them?"

Motodrone nodded, "Good point…let's take care of these guys first."

Somehow, Zurgane was able to summon his blades from his arms, as were the others able to summon their weapons. Marah had her staff, Kapri her Katana, Shimazu his fan blade and spike staff, and Motodrone his sword.

"You're going down, rangers!" they yelled as they charged forward.

--Wind Rangers—

Dustin jumped, grappled a Kelzak, and threw him into another, then elbowed another, punched it in its face plate, and kicked another in the stomach. Tori was gracefully knocking Kelzaks around with high jump kicks and low sweeps. Shane was of course handling as many as he could, quickly disposing of the group with punches, kicks, and aerial flips. As he landed however, a large blue hand grabbed him and tossed him flying.

Shane landed barely, and looked up to see Chizubo.

"Rangers! You are the ones who tried to kill my brother, and now you will pay!" Chizubo ordered.

"That's Chizubo?" Dustin asked.

"Looks like Choobo enough to me," Tori said.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Chizubo said as he charged with his jagged spear weapon.

--Thunder and Samurai Rangers—

Kapri slashed down Hunter's chest with the Golden Eagle Sword she'd switched to, then kicked him while he was down. He landed near Shimazu, who somehow enlarged himself as the Blue ranger. His foot was in front of Hunter, while his head appeared behind him. Suddenly, his finger came out of nowhere in the shape of a gun, and shot Hunter flying.

Zurgane grabbed Blake's head and introduced it to his knee, then kicked him in the stomach, and then in the jaw, making the Navy ranger spin out and hit the ground coughing.

Motodrone clapped Cam's head with the Lion Fang, then slammed him on the head with it. In reflex, Cam rolled, then jumped up to slice him, but was shot when Marah flicked her hand at him, making sparks blast him out of the air.

"Gotcha!" she laughed wickedly.

--The Cave—

Cole was thrown into a rock brutally, his back slamming a rough spot.

"So easy…" Jindrax said as he dusted his hand off, "In fact, it was almost too easy with those Stamps draining their energy."

"I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped…but it still settled," Toxica agreed.

Princess Shayla looked at them in pity, "Jindrax…Toxica…what happened to you? When we last parted ways, you were good to humans…why are you so different now?"

"It doesn't matter, you're finished…and soon…the Ninja Rangers will be too," Toxica said before breaking into a sadistic laugh.

"We're not…beaten…yet…you'll have to come up with something else…Toxica…" Cole strained.

"That's right…Jindrax…this rivalry…is far…from over," Taylor said as she slowly stood.

"Yeah! That's right! Never give up! Remember Danny! Never give up!"

"Oh…oh yeah…Never Give up!" Danny stuttered as he pushed himself off the ground.

--Out in the desert—

A man in a turban and cloak walked silently, his footsteps erased by the ever blowing wind.

"I sense something is not right," a horned beast said.

"I agree my friend…something is terribly wrong…I can feel Princess Shayla's presence…she's awake!"

The turbaned figure began to run off when his bestial comrade stopped him; "Orgs…that's what made her wake up; evil orgs."

The figure stopped, sighing "Guess it's time to head back then."

"Right with you," the creature said as they began to run off.

--Wind Rangers—

The Morphed Wind Rangers flew through the air, an explosion hot on their tail.

"Rangers!" Alyssa yelled, "Are you okay?"

Chizubo's laugh interrupted her, "Haha…don't worry my pretty…I've got some for you too!"

His belt flashed red as the electricity surged from Alyssa's neck all around her body.

"Alyssa!" Tori called to her friend.

Dustin stood, looking at Chizubo's belt, "The belt…Shane, his belt!"

"Huh? Right! Good call Dustin! Tori, stay here. Dustin, you ready to show him some Wind Power?"

"All the way, bro!"

Dustin and Shane clasped hands before Dustin flew through the air, then right back within less than a second, then out of nowhere, he cross kicked Chizubo in the face.

"Ninja Air Attack!" Shane summoned, stomping his feet.

He glided toward Chizubo in a rush, spinning around the blue alien with his sword cutting him, then finally stabbing the belt.

Amazingly, the stamp on Alyssa's neck fell easily off.

She gasped as it landed lightly on the ground near her hand.

"Alyssa, it's gone! Do you feel okay?" Tori asked.

Alyssa nodded.

"Curses!" Chizubo said as he disappeared.

--The Cave—

Somehow, the stamps on their necks fell off lifelessly.

"Jindrax, look!" Toxica said, pointing at the fallen stamps.

"Oh no! The stamps are gone!"

"I've had it!" Cole said, slamming his fist in the dirt, "We may not have our animal crystals, or our growl phones, but we're always connected to our Wild Zords!"

"He's right, let's show 'em what we're made of!" Taylor said.

"Blazing Lion! Yah!" Cole yelled, striking his pose.

"Soaring Eagle!" Taylor said.

"Surging Shark!" added Max.

"Iron Bison!" Danny concluded.

"Guardian's of the Earth! United, we Roar! Power Rangers:"

"WILD FORCE!"

In nothing short of a miracle, energy flowed around the rangers, giving them new confidence.

"Toxica…I think now would be a good time to run!"

Toxica nodded and the two took off.

"Rangers you did it…you've become one with your wild…wild…"

Princess Shayla couldn't finish her sentence and she fainted, falling asleep in the rope she was tied to a post with.

"Princess Shayla!" the rangers called, running over to her.

"I can't feel her pulse…" Taylor said sadly…

--Far Off in Turtle Cove--

Chizubo found the site he was looking for, then planted his staff and began chanting a spell.

"I knew I'd find you here," Lothor's drawl came.

Chizubo didn't break his concentration, "Here…lemme help you," Lothor said, sending a powerful energy wave into Chizubo, which then went through his fingers in a Taoist position and struck an area in the rubble.

"Yes…the five most powerful Orgs ever…" Lothor said.

"Nayzor, Mandilok, Retinaxe, Onikage, and the Evil Zen-Aku…the ranger's defeat is finally at hand…"

To Be Continued…

Sorry this chapter took so long. Thank you for the reviews I did manage to get, but feedback is most appreciated. I realize these are long, but I tried to make them similar to episodes…hope I did that okay…
