A Long Bus Ride
Tom and Phil arrive at the bus station 5 minute after the last bus that was going there direction left. The next bus was not leaving till 6 a.m. so they had some time in there hands. Tom kept his head down he did not want to be recognize again. They spent the rest of the night in a corner away from people. Tom try to get some sleep but Phil kept talking to him about anything and everything, Tom just smile polity and let him go on. 6 a.m. did not came fast enough, they made into the bus and found there seat. 6:15 and the bus still had not left Tom was getting impatience he was about to get up and ask what was the hold up when the bus started moving. Phil was about to open his mouth but before he could Tom said.
"Hey listen buddy you have to let me get some sleep I had a very long day yesterday and even a longer night and I bet I have another long day ahead of me so if you don't mind keeping yourself entertain for the reminder of this bus ride."
A big goofy smiled appear on Phil face, "sure buddy you need your rest, you are a super hero now," Phil said as he laugh.
Tom roll his eye and got comfterble as quickly felt asleep.
Tom dream were plague with nightmares. In his dream he was fighting a never ending pack of scabs as the red defender ranger. Every time he got rid of one, two more would take it place but he was determine. The odds were against him but he was never going to give up. As he fought the scabs he heard a familiar voice called his name he look around but saw no one, but the voice got louder and louder, that when he saw her. His heart stop as the scene unfolded in front of him. Across the room Stood Lord Karma he was holding Amber and he had a rusty knife across her neck. Tom scream and started running toward her. Karma laugh his laughter filled the room the scabs started chasing Tom, but Tom started glowing he had a red aurora that cover his suit and every time a scab would try to attack him it disenagrated. He ran faster and faster but no matter how fast he ran he could not reach them. Then the unthinkable happen Lord Karma slit amber throat she felt to the floor and pool of blood slowly start forming under her. Tom scream in anger he bend down next to amber and hug her he sob as he rock her back and forth. He could hear Karma laughter and it made him angry he gently put Amber lifeless corpse on the ground. He got up and glare at Karma he did not stop laughing. The aurora around him got stronger, Tom walk over to Karma. Karma try kicking him but Tom never flinch. Tom roundhouse kick Karma sending him flying as he did his aurora got stronger. He made his way to were Karma landed he could see he was bleeding from some cuts on his face. Karma got up and try fighting Tom but Tom block every attack. He grab Karma by his troth and lifted him of the floor, Karma just laugh and laugh but his laughter was stop when Tom snap his neck and drop him on the floor. Tom smiled under his helmet, he suddenly started feeling weak he felt his body shutting down on him he try to scream but could not find his voice...
Tom woke with a loud gasp no one around him seem to notice he was sweating, for a split second he forgot where he was, but everything quickly came back to him. He notice Phil next to him his finger were flying across his keyboard then he notice his TM was not strap on wrist but hook to Phil computer.
"How did you unstrap that you were not supposed to be able to do that." Tom said.
"What can I say I have a gift." Phil plainly said and continue with his work.
Tom glare at him
"Oh sorry you probably wants this back am done with it." Phil unhook the TM from his laptop and handed to Tom. Tom grab and put it back on his wrist it snap shut.
"So what have you been up to anyway?"' Tom ask
"A lot." Phil said
Tom look at Phil but he did not say anything else
"Like what?" Tom ask annoyed.
"Well, I learn something about your TM and the crystal." Phil said.
"How so?" Tom ask.
Well, first I manage to tune my wrist communicator to the frequency your TM uses so that way if we get separated we could still keep in contact. You know in case of emergency," Phil said.
"Sounds cool," Tom said.
"Well, also what power up your TM is a small crystal similar to the one in your pocket, the only difference is the one in the TM is much smaller and is red instead of purple. First I thought of combing the crystal to give you a boost of power but quickly abandon that idea combing the energy could be very dangerous."
"How so?" Tom ask.
"Well, for starter to much energy is fatal combining both crystal is very dangerous your body would not be able to handle all the power and all your major organ would shut down." Phil answer.
"That is not good." Tom said
"No is not, beside that your TM is specifically engineer to give your morphing ability as well as power up your TM. The other crystal it is specifically engineer to be use as some kind of power source, for it to be able to be use the way the crystal in your TM is used, it has to be change engineer to be use that way. I mean this is very interesting your TM is amazing who ever design this thought of everything I would love to be able to talk to the creator of this thing take this apart and put it back together."
"Well, let not do that just yet I still need it," Tom said. "There something that been bugging me I mean how is that I can do what I do? I mean fight and stuff I was no even morph back at that Denny's and I was still able to use some of my ability."
"Well, the TM give the user the ability, that what it was design to do even if you never had any kind of training. See when your morph there are small microwave that are being transmitted into your brain that give you the ability to fight use weapon or whatever else you need, you don't notice, you don't even think about it you just do it. This ability are left behind once you dimorph so even if you don't have your armor on the fighting ability will still be with you because they were downloaded into your brain?" Phil said.
Tom was about to say something when the bus driver suddenly hit the brake hard. The bus screech as it came to a stop.
"El Diablo he has come to take us all," the bus driver yell, there was a scream that came from the front of the bus.
"El Diablo?" Tom said.
"Yeah that Spanish for the devil, apparently the devil had come to take us all." Phil answer.
"Yeeeeeeah I don't think that it let me go take a look." Tom said
Tom made his way to the front of the bus and saw what was causing all the commotion. In front of the bus stood a seven foot creature he was read and look like he was half horse and half man he had to giant horn sticking out of his forehead and a tail. If Tom did know better he would have thought it was the devil as well.
"Come out come out where ever you are Tom." The creature outside said.
"Holy Jesus," was all Tom could say. He made his way back to the Phil.
"What is it?" Phil ask
"Does not look good man," Tom said. He got up and kick the emergency exit open. "OK everybody out now!" He yell at the crowd. They did as he said and soon the bus was empty.
"OK Phil your next go," Tom said.
"What about you?"
Tom lifted up his hand revealing his TM "I got this ill be fine there is no use for you to get hurt."
Phil nodded.
"Listen Phil if anything happen to me i want you to run and hide don't trust anyone do you understand"
Phil nodded and exited the bus.
The monster notice that Tom was still on the bus and smile he pick up the giant bus over his head and growl before he threw it. The bus landed with a loud boom and it screech as it slide in the pavement before it finally came to a stop. The crowd scream Phil stare at the bus.
"Come on Tom please be OK," Phil said.
"That was easy," the monster growl.
Suddenly the side of the bus exploded open and Tom emerge morph he landed in front of the monster and grab him by the horn and sent him flying. He got out his defender blaster and blast him a couple of times before he hit the ground. The monster got up and charge at Tom but Tom stood his ground there was a big explosion as the monster and Tom collided and the whole scene was cover in smoke. The whole crowd gasp Phil never took the eye from the smoke. The smoke started the clear and two figure started coming into focus. Tom had the monster by the horn the monster was franticly trying to get free but could not Tom had a strong grip on him. The monster grab Tom leg and pulled it them toward him making Tom fall on his back then he grab his leg and started swinging him around before he release him Tom when flying and landed in top of a near by car. His suit protected him from any kind of injury but it still hurt and Tom let out a loud scream when he landed. He manage to get back up and jump at the monster with a kick but the monster wimp him whit his tail and Tom was sent back to the car this time he went threw the door and landed inside.
"How you doing Tom" Phil ask.
"Phil? Phil where are you?" Tom saw the monster charging toward him so he got out his blaster and blasted him a few time sending him flying back this gave enough time for Tom to get out of the car he saw the monster charging at him again he barley had time to dodge him.
"Am communication using the communication system instal in your helmet remember I told you I mange to tune my wrist communicator with your TM." Phil answer.
The monster try cutting Tom whit his sharp claws that he could extend at will but Tom kept avoiding it "That all fascinating at all but this is really not the time man kind of busy," he said as he avoided another deadly slash to his chest.
"Maybe there something I can do to help," Phil said.
"Am open to suggestion," Tom said as he took out his blaster and blasted the monster a few more times.
"OK give me a second." Phil said.
"No problem just hurry," Tom said as he engage the monster in hand to hand combat.
Phil open up his laptop and started typing away he had downloaded hidden files from Tom TM that had description about Creature and he was sure he saw this guy while he was browsing threw it earlier. "I know I saw him, a face like that is hard to forget," Phil said to himself. He kept on clicking till he finally came across him. There he is I knew I seen his ugly mug before, Horns that original." He kept on reading and his eye wide. "That it," he yell "Tom come in I got it."
Tom never flinch and continue to block blow after blow from the monster "Yeah am hear hit me."
"His horns! Is the source of his strength get rid of those?" Phil said.
"Right," Tom did a back flip and jump as far away from him as he could. The monster look confuse.
"What give up already I was just starting to have fun."
Tom did not pay attention to this remark, I need a weapon he said in his mind. Suddenly the left side of his helmet became alive and list of weapon appear in front of him. This one look perfect.
"Defender Sword!" Tom yell. In his hand a long blade materialize in his hand.
"Ha do you think that scare me," the monster taunted.
Tom did not say a word but simply charge at him he jump in the air but the monster got ready to wipe him with his tail.
"No not going to fall for that again," Tom said. When he swung his tail Tom swung his sword slicing the monster tail of.
"My tail! You are going to pay for that."
Before he had time to react Tom swung his sword again and slash the monster horns of the horn felt on the ground in front of him.
"No, my horns!" the monster yell.
"Defender sword strike ignite!" Tom yell. The sword in his hand started glowing red he swung the glowing sword at the monster. The monster try to block it but it was no use he was slice in half and exploded. Tom stood still he was breathing heavily inside his suit the only person that came up to him was Phil.
"Wow, Tom you were awesome." Phil said.
"Could not have done it without you."
Tom notice everybody around him was starting at him there were not coming up to him but just staring he felt comfterble to dimorph in front of all this people. He was not sure if he was supposed to have a secret identity but he felt awkward doing in it while all this people watch.
"Come Phil let get out of hear before Warner and his men show up."
Phil follow Tom luckily non of the people follow him this was a relief for Tom because he was not sure what he would have don't if they did.
