Power Rangers: Ninja Storm

Episode 32: "Savage Storm, Part 3"

After "Savage Storm, Part 2," and before "The Wild Wipeout."

Cole, Taylor, Max, and Danny rushed from the cave in search of a sign of Alyssa.

"Where could she be?" Taylor wondered.

No sooner had she asked did she and the wind rangers come running around a bend.

"Guys!" Alyssa shouted.

"Alyssa!" they returned, greeting her running form with open arms.

Tori, Shane, and Dustin stopped short and watched the reunion.

"What happened to Princess Shayla?" Alyssa asked.

"We think she used too much of her power, or either she's been off the Animarium too long. Who knows?" Max said.

"I would say leave her here, but I don't want her to get captured," suggested Taylor.

"We can have Cyber Cam teleport her to Ninja Ops," Shane blurted out.

"Wind Rangers…we can't thank you enough. Thank you so much," Cole said.

"Well, it's not over yet," Shane replied.

"And we plan on helping you with that," Taylor added.

Just then, an explosion became audible, and the Thunder Rangers and Cam became visible in flailing, multi-colored objects.

"Oh no!" Tori gasped.

"Let's go!" Shane ordered as they took off.

On their way, Shane contacted his cyber friend and had Shayla teleported, though the system was still a bit off.

—Thunder and Samurai Rangers—

Hunter, Cam, and Blake landed painfully and demorphed, their smoking bodies left vulnerable by the imposter Wild Rangers.

Shimazu's annoying laugh broke the sound of their gasps for breath.

"Oh this is just too much fun," he said.

"Guys!" Tori exerted her worry.

"They're just too powerful…" Blake said.

"Hey…look…it's the real Wild Force Rangers," Hunter breathed out slowly.

"Give us back our growl phones!" Cole demanded doing his signature "hand command."

Zurgane laughed, "That's funny. I was almost tempted to give it you!"

"Let's get 'em!" Cole ordered.

The Wild Force Rangers ran forward, but were shot back by a clap of Motodrone's hands.

"Hahaha, the end of the Power Rangers is near!" Toxica said, coming out of nowhere.

"I never thought I'd see this day…it even brings tears to my eyes," Jindrax commented.

The rangers began to push themselves up, but Motodrone had other plans.

"Falcon Summoner!" he shouted, and then shot at all 11 rangers.

Another maniacal laugh broke out among the villains until a streak of silver slashed across them, followed by a black shadow.

"What the—" began Jindrax.

"It's Merrick!" Toxica said with distaste.

"Merrick!" Alyssa enthused happily.

"You five have improperly used the Spirits of the Wild Zords, and for that, you will feel their fury!" he threatened.

He held his hand to the sky, after which the howl of the Wolf was audible and then his three animal crystals appeared, forming his Lunar Caller.

"Wild Zords, hear me! Return your powers to the proper guardians!"

Red Lion's roar echoed throughout the Animarium, along with a roar from the White Tiger, Black Bison, and Blue shark, and a screech from the Yellow Eagle.

In shining colors, the Growl Phones Lothor's team possessed lit up, and their powers left them painfully. The Growl Phones floated above the imposters, and then flew to their rightful owners.

"Yeah!" shouted Cole.

The rangers smirked as they stood, facing their opponents.

"And now for you two," Merrick said.

He held his hand out, and closed his eyes, causing a very familiar wind of Animus to blow over Toxica and Jindrax.

The two duke orgs shook their heads and looked around, "Wha…what's going on?" Toxica wondered aloud, her horn turning from black to it's signature red.

"How did you know they were being controlled?" Cole asked the Lunar Ranger.

"Their Horns are black. Jindrax' is normally white, and Toxica's is red. When they're black, that means there's some outside force affecting it," said a shadowy figure.

"Zen-Aku!" Cole noticed.

"Calm yourself ranger, I am only with a friend," his low growl came.

Zurgane pushed Jindrax and Toxica over toward the rangers, where they stumbled to meet them.

"Are you guys okay?" Alyssa asked kindly.

"I think so…just a little dizzy," Jindrax replied.

Toxica stuck her head up high and said, "I'm fine."

"Not for long you won't be," shot Shimazu.

"Let's show them some ranger power," Cam said.

"Not so fast," came a familiar dual voice.

"No way!" chorused the Wild Rangers.

"Mandilok!" noticed Alyssa.

"And Nayzor!" said Max.

"Retinaxe!" Taylor pointed.

"Onikage!" cried Danny.

"And it looks like Chizubo's summoned three monsters from the past, along with Choobo!"

"Isn't that Boparoo?" Shane asked.

"Yeah, and look, there's Toxipod!" said Tori.

"And he brought Madtropolis!" Dustin warned.

"And Zen-Aku!" Merrick said, "But how can that be?"

"He is in spirit of the Dark Wild Zords," said the real Zen-Aku, glaring at his shadowy counter-part.

"Well we have the spirit of the Earth, and we're not gonna let some pushovers take us down!" Cole said.

"Right!" Shane agreed.

"Let's bring this storm!" ordered Hunter as the rangers stood side by side, right foot forward.

"Ready!" Cole commanded.

"Ready!"

"Wild Access!"

"Ninja Storm!" called Shane, Tori, and Dustin.

"Thunder Storm!" Hunter and Blake shouted.

"Samurai Storm!" Cam followed suit.

"Ranger Form!" the Ninja Storm team yelled together.

"HAH!" all the rangers chorused.

Each Ranger entered their morphing sequence, then the Ninja Storm Rangers began.

"Ninja Ranger Power!"

The rangers stood in a line of 12, their colors varying like an assortment of candies. The rangers then began their role call.

"Blazing Lion!"

"Soaring Eagle!"

"Surging Shark!"

"Iron Bison!"

"Noble Tiger!"

"Howling Wolf!"

"United we Roar!" Cole began.

"Power Rangers—Wild Force!" they announced in unison.

"Power of Air!"

"Power of Water!"

"Power of Earth!"

"Crimson Thunder!"

"Navy Thunder!"

"Samurai Power!"

"Ninja Storm!" they finished.

"Power Rangers—Spirits of the Earth!"

A giant explosion let off behind them in colored smoke, and a roar could be heard all the way from the Animarium as they posed.

—SS—

Back at Ninja Ops, Princess Shayla suddenly awoke.

"Are you okay?" Sensei asked.

"I'm fine," Princess Shayla said, "The rangers must've reclaimed their morphers!"

"Indeed they have. They make an impeccable team," Sensei Watanabe commented.

Princess Shayla had the feeling she was in good company, so without panicking, she came to the computer screen near Cyber Cam and Sensei to watch.

—SS—

Shane and Cole were making quick work of Retinaxe and Zurgane with their respective blades. Finally, Cole pulled out the Lion Fang and gave Retinaxe a super charged "Blazing Lion, Spirit of the Earth" smash. Shane took his cue and powered up his Ninja Sword to Gold to give Zurgane an Air Blade slash.

"Ready to smoke 'em?" Shane asked.

"You betcha!"

"Hawk Blaster!"

"Lion Blaster, Gatling mode!"

"FIRE!" Cole and Shane said as one.

The impact destroyed Retinaxe and sent Zurgane flying.

—SS—

Taylor back-flipped away from a blast shot by Choobo, then drew her Golden Eagle Sword.

"Ready to take these two?"

"Totally!" Dustin agreed.

Taylor jumped into the air and spread her wings. Gracefully, she flew by Onikage several times, slicing him in the process, and then grabbed him. She slammed him into a mountain several times, then tossed him down to Dustin, who slammed him flying with his Lion Hammer.

"Nice!" Taylor Commented.

"Hey, I got an idea!" Dustin said.

He whispered where her ear would be inside her helmet, then Taylor laughed, "That should work!"

Dustin gave Taylor his Ninja Sword, which she wielded with her Golden Eagle Sword. She then called the Armadillo Puck and gave it to Dustin.

Taylor then ran and fought Choobo, making him look foolish with both her swords. When she got him into range, Dustin tossed the Armadillo Puck into the air, then slammed it with his Lion Hammer in a supercharged "Spirit of the Earth: Lion and Armadillo" attack.

The Puck hit Choobo right in his butt, sending him flying into a pile of rocks, followed by an explosion.

"Yeah!"

—SS—

"Blue Shark Fighting Fins!" Max summoned as he slashed at Nayzor.

Blake did a few back handsprings over to Shimazu, then grabbed him with his Navy Antlers.

"Go for a spin?" he asked, holding him in the air and rotating his antler.

Electricity surged through Shimazu, and Blake threw him into Nayzor, shocking both of them.

"Ready to finish them?"

"Yeah!" Max affirmed.

Blake combined his Navy Antlers with his Thunder Staff, and Max called on his Sword of Pardolis.

"Power of Thunder!" Blake shouted, jumping up and flipping off Max's outstretched shoulders and arms, and then slashing Shimazu.

Max then jumped off Blake's outstretched Navy Antler Thunder Staff and shouted "Sword of Pardolis!" and slashed Nayzor with the Giraffe's spirit of the Earth.

—SS—

Mandilok crashed into Danny, but the Iron Bison Ranger judo flipped him to the ground.

"Gotcha!"

"I think it's time for some Super Samurai Mode!" Cam said.

He threw his heavy vest off, then spun his visor and was ready for action.

"Samurai Saber…full power strike!"

He slashed Chizubo right down the middle, and then slashed his staff in half.

"Ah! My staff! You broke my staff!"

"That's not the only thing I'm gonna break!" Cam threatened as he double kicked Chizubo into Mandilok's back.

"Hey, watch where your going!" Mandilok said grumpily.

"Think we should finish this?" Danny asked.

"With pleasure," Cam nodded.

Danny pulled out his Rhino Shooter, on which Cam laid his Samurai Saber on top.

The two held the blaster, and Cam and Danny announced, "Rhino Shooter: Samurai Spear Mode!"

"FIRE!"

The saber shot forth covered in black energy and impacted on the two villains, causing a large explosion.

"Yea-heah!" Cam said as he and Danny jumped for joy.

—SS—

"Boparoo, watch this!" Kapri said as she punched Alyssa, then kicked her backward.

"Did you see what I did?" Marah asked the busy Boparoo, who was fighting Toxica.

"That was delectably dastardly and devious my dear destructive diva!" he spluttered.

Marah and Kapri smirked, but were then kicked by Tori and Alyssa.

"Let's take these lady's down, shall we?" Alyssa asked.

"Let's."

Tori jumped up and slashed Marah several times with her ninja sword, then Alyssa bopped Kapri on the head with her baton before giving her a power attack with the spirit of the earth.

The sisters danced in pain and fell into the regrouping defeated villains.

—SS—

Merrick sped by Motodrone's veering bike and passed Hunter on his Tsunami Cycle.

"Wolf Cycle, laser fire, now!" Merrick demanded. Out of the mouth cam several blasts that made Motodrone swerve.

Merrick then took his Lunar Cue, switched it to laser mode, and sniped Motodrone off his bike.

However, the bronze terror jumped onto Hunter's bike.

"Hey, didn't your mom ever tell you not to ride with strangers?" Hunter said as he struggled to get him off.

"You're no stranger to me Crimson Ranger!"

"Yeah, well, this is your stop!" Hunter said, slamming on his breaks, then quickly throwing his Thunder Staff Ninja Star at him.

"Hunter, watch out for Madtropolis!" Merrick called.

Before the Crimson Thunder brother could react, Merrick had blasted him from the sky, then remounted his bike. Both bikers then fired their lasers at the city-headed alien, destroying him.

—SS—

Both Zen-Akus were going at it like savages, neither faltering from what wounds they acquired.

Finally, the good Zen-Aku got a side kick in that caused his opponent to drop his guard. Then, the good Zen-Aku let out a flurry of Crescent Waves, sending the baddie off the cliff.

Toxica tripped Boparoo with her staff, then shot several blasts from its crystal, sending Boparoo backward, but not off the cliff.

"By golly this great grandma is grating and grinding my gears! I'll have to turn tenacity into treachery to top this tramp" he babbled.

"What? Did you just call me a grandma!"

"If the giga golden gloves fit!" he laughed.

Toxica's eyes narrowed as she screamed, "Speak English you twit!"

She slammed her staff into his stomach and flipped him over her head, tossing him into the grass. Then, she made a full circle with her staff and sent a huge blast at him, blowing him to pieces.

"Superfluously spectacular!" she laughed.

Jindrax flipped over Toxica, dodging Toxipod's attacks.

"You'll have to do better than that if you wanna catch the Master of Blades," Jindrax teased, putting his hands on hips.

"I'll show you!" Toxipod yelled, charging the small Duke Org.

Jindrax did a cartwheel around his attack, then drew several daggers, throwing them at him and pinning him to the rock. Then, he charged up hordes of energy daggers and skewered the mollusk of an alien.

—SS—

The heroes met back up on the lower ground, jumping into a defensive stance. On one side were the Ninja Rangers, on the other were the Wild Rangers, on the third side were the Duke Orgs, and the other side was a wall. The villains were trapped.

The only villains remaining were Zurgane, Choobo, Shimazu, Chizubo, Marah, Kapri, Motodrone, and the evil Zen-Aku.

"Nowhere to run!" Cole said.

"Who said anything about running?" Chizubo asked.

Motodrone called on his bike and took off to try to avoid being charbroiled by the more than powerful rangers. When he pressed several buttons, two hideously, malformed wings sprouted from the side and he was airborne.

"I'll get him!" Hunter said.

"I'll help!" said Cole.

"We'll take care of the others," said Shane.

Hunter called on the Ninja Glider bike and Cole called on the Wild Force Rider. Both red-hued rangers flew off to follow Motodrone.

Despite their attractions to each other, they were focused on their mission and said almost nothing other than "There he is!"

Hunter and Cole both fired blasts that combined into one and impacted on Motodrone, destroying his bike and sending him crashing below.

—SS—

Below, Cam, Merrick, and good Zen-Aku fought Choobo and evil Zen-Aku. Merrick waited for Cam to use his special technique of using an extended laser beam of the Samurai Saber, and then Merrick said: "Lunar Cue, Break Mode!"

He then blasted Choobo and Zen Aku with Laser Pool, along with the beneficial Zen-Aku's Crescent Wave.

Marah and Kapri retreated and let Shimazu get injured by the Wind Rangers' shadow battle. Afterwards, Danny tossed Max through the air like a torpedo, then Taylor joined Max mid air, both slashing through Zurgane.

The rangers regrouped, then surrounded them, this time pulling forth their specialty weapons.

"Bison, Eagle, Lion, Shark, Tiger," the Wild Rangers said respectively, holding their weapons out to form the Savage Sword, which Cole held alone.

The other rangers formed the Jungle Blaster with Merrick in Cole's position.

"Thunder Storm Cannon!" the Ninja Storm Rangers announced as they moved into position.

"Ready," Shane said.

"Aim," continued Cole.

"Fire!" shouted Merrick.

"Crescent Wave!" yelled good Zen-Aku, who's blast combined with Jindrax and Toxica's blasts and also Cam's Energy Blade.

The aliens and org were caught in the blast and exploded. Unfortunately for the rangers, Lothor's cronies managed to escape, leaving Zen-Aku for dead. Chizubo stayed however, and grew because of the Scroll of Empowerment he clutched.

"Wild Zords, descend!" Cole called.

"Cyber Cam, we need the zords!" said Cam.

"On their way," said his cybernetic counterpart.

All 14 zords came onto the scene, and each ranger boarded their zord to form their megazords.

"Wild Force Megazord, Sword and Sheild mode!"

"Predazord, ready!"

"Storm Megazord, ready!"

"Thunder Megazord, ready!"

"Samurai Star Megazord, ready!'

"I hope you don't mind rangers, I brought along a few friends," said Chizubo as he threw his stamps into the air. Out of them materialized Madtropolis, Boparoo, and Toxipod.

"Let's take 'em!"

The megazords made quick work of them the majority of the time, but then, Chizubo joined powers with his two remaining monsters and sent out an energy wave, crippling the rangers. Even the Thunderstorm Megazord that the rangers were piloting lost one of its arms. The Wild Force Megazord disengaged, and the Samurai Star had been damaged.

"Blake, are you okay?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah, fine," said Blake whose Zord had just been severely damaged.

"Is everyone alright?" Dustin asked.

"Yeah," said Tori, "I think so."

"Shane! Are you okay?" Dustin asked.

Shane was holding an injured arm, but he seemed okay.

"Yeah…just got hit hard by some shrapnel."

Chizubo laughed at the injured Megazord and began to slash mercilessly at it.

"We can't take much more of this!" Tori said.

Cole looked on in horror from the flying Soul Bird when he heard Red Lion speaking to him.

You want me to tell them to combine our zords with theirs…

Red Lion roared.

Alright.

"Guys, Red Lion says we should use the Shark and Tiger Wild Zords to help the rangers.

"Yeah!" Danny said.

"It's worth a shot," Taylor said.

The Soul Bird merged with the back of the Thunderstorm Mega, then the rangers ran to different cockpits. Merrick apparently joined Cam in the Samurai Star.

"Shane, listen to me. You've got to combine with our zords," Cole said.

"Let's see what we can do," Shane said.

"White Tiger!" Alyssa called.

"Blue Shark!" Max copied.

The Wild Zords replaced the fallen arm and the present arm, then Alyssa called the Elephant Zord to form:

"Thunderstorm Megazord: Sword and Shield Mode!"

"Hurricane Pachyderm Crusher!" all the rangers chorused.

The Elephant's sword crushed Chizubo and his monsters, destroying him for good.

—SS—

Back at Ninja Ops, the rangers rejoiced, sharing hobbies. Max, Dustin, Danny, and Shane went to eat. Tori, Alyssa, and Taylor went shopping at the mall. Hunter showed Cole a little more about bikes…and the two became pretty good friends. Merrick left, but Cam stayed home and explained computers to Princess Shayla…unfortunately, she got a little eager when Cam left the room and crashed the entire system…that Princess Shayla…

When their day was over, and they all met back at Ninja Ops, each ranger faced another, shook hands, and promised each other that they would work together once more in the future.

Wow…really long chapter, but I finished it. Love it? Hate it? Whatever, let me know! Thanks for your previous reviews!
