THE OTHER RANGER
Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers or otherwise the Disney ones would be as long as the Saban ones.
This is going to be a chapter about my character, a chance for everyone to get to know about his past and such, but not too much. And according to the poll, the weapons are going to be upgrades, but more permanent, unlike the way they did the Thunderzords.
It is now a Saturday and Will was spending part of it at the Command Center, working at a desk where the Power Weapons are on. From left to right were the Power Ax, Power Daggers, Power Sword, Power Lance and Power Bow. Alpha was right by his side, giving him a hand since he had more experience with them.
Zordon was watching the whole thing, "So tell me, Will, how are you coming along with upgrading the Power Weapons?" He asked.
Will held a small device in his hand while he went over the Power Bow. "Almost done Zordon." He answered, "Right now I just have to finish recalibrating the bow and then we will start the process of infusing the power of thunder into the weapons."
"That's good to hear since it has been taking you over a week to get them done." Zordon said, "And you were right to state the one main flaw of the Power Cannon."
"Yeah, it would have trouble against monsters that are capable of dodging it and reloading it might be more then enough to plant a bull's eye on each of us." Will said, before taking a step back, "Okay Alpha, time to put in the finishing touch."
"Roger, Will." Alpha said, before heading towards one of the consoles, flicking a few switches, "Sending the power of thunder now."
Five bolts of lightning came from out of nowhere and struck the weapons on the table. Each weapon gave a small glow before a bright, blinding flash gave off, causing Will to cover his eyes with his arm as the objects on the table started to change. When the light died down, Will put down his arm to notice that in the place of the Power Weapons were now five 8-foot red rods, each with a different type of blade on the top: a naginata, a bladed sasumata, a monk's spade, a rodarrow and a bladed monk's cudgel. All of them had small bolts of electricity appearing all over.
"Zordon, I give you the Thunder Rods." Will said. (Lightning Rods would have been pushing it a bit.)
"Indeed, and by calling upon the powers of thunder, then the rangers should be able to unlock the full potential of these powerful weapons." Zordon said.
"Speaking of the others," Will said, while checking his watch, "I better get going. Me and the others are going to be spending the rest of the day together and I don't want to be too late."
"Very well, Will," Zordon said, "Go and have some fun."
"Oh we will." Will reply before he teleported out of the Command Center.
Angel Grove
The seven rangers are at the Youth Center, sitting down to a nice lunch, or rather six of them ordered something light or light enough, while they watched Rocky who decided to order one of his famous bigger then his own head burgers. "How can you eat all that and still stay in shape?" Will asked, while taking a bite out of his cheeseburger.
"Actually it's not really a question of how, but rather if he can actually get to eat one?" Adam said, being the one who has known Rocky the longest, along with Aisha, "Every time he orders something that big, he barely gets a chance to take a bite out of it because something always comes up."
"You mean this has been going on before Zedd?" Kimberly asked, while taking a bite out of her salad.
"Way before." Aisha said, while grabbing a fry, "Rocky always tries for the biggest thing only to be interrupted in the process."
"Shh, don't jinx it for me." Rocky said, causing the others to give a little laugh.
At the entrance, a dark haired girl came walking in, looking around the place until her eyes came upon a table with seven teenagers, one of them she recognized right away. With a smirk that would make even Zedd nervous, she walked up to them. "My, my, my, I knew my eyes weren't playing tricks on me when I caught sight of you here the other week, Will Walker." She said, with a hint of really bad mischief in her voice, "I see that you have managed to recover just fine from that little 'incident.'"
Will turned around, "Oh hello Violet, you mean the one where people found out about your true colors and decided to make sure that you take full responsibilities for your action?" He asked, catching her off guard, "And like I told you before, I refuse to bow down to anybody, especially a cowardly snake like you."
Violet was starting to sputter, "You . . . You mean after all this time, and you still haven't learned your lesson back at Ruby Ridge?" She yelled out, "Like I said before, I'm going to make your life really unbearable." She then walked out.
Bulk and Skull watched the whole thing from the next table over, and as soon as she was out the door, "Wow, she's scary Bulk." Skull said.
"I know Skull." Bulk said, while reaching for a donut on the table, among the many sweets that were on it, "As much as I don't like those dweebs, I know that I don't want to find out what that incident was."
"Yeah, don't need to know." Skull said, while reaching for a piece of licorice.
"What was that about, Will?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like that girl has some serious beef with you." Tommy said.
Will gave a small sigh, "It goes beyond that." He explained, "Back in Ruby Ridge, life was not much different then from here, I had friends to hang out with, good grades so that I can keep doing some of my extracurricular stuff, including the martial arts and my family was going through the same thing."
"And let me guess, it wasn't until she showed up that things went from bad to worse." Aisha said.
"You got it." Will said.
"And what is this 'incident' she mentioned?" Rocky asked.
"Well, when she first arrived, she had a pretty good act going to where she managed to get really friendly, except for me." Will said, "While she might have seemed nice on the outside, I could pick up something that didn't feel right on the inside."
"You mean like she had an ulterior in mind." Kimberly said.
"Exactly." Will said, "When she tried to warm up to me, as it turns out, she makes deals on promises, like for instance improve a person's image just for being her friend."
"And when she said learned your lesson, I'm guessing you shot her down before." Aisha said, while finishing her chicken burger.
"You got that right," Will said, "When she offered to help me in so many ways, I told her I rather do things on my own, she tried to be persuasive, and after telling her no a few more times, that's when her true colors came to light."
"And that incident is the reason why you're in Angel Grove right?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, about a week later, she had somebody give her a little beating and started to spread rumors that I assaulted her in more ways then one, which started my social downfall in Ruby Ridge." Will explained, before a sip of his juice, "And it didn't take long for most of the town to believe in the lie that most of them did everything they could to drive us out of town, from death threats to you name it, and if it wasn't for what I learned in the martial arts, I wouldn't be here right now."
"Wait, you mean they actually tried to attack you?" Adam asked.
"Not just me, they went after my family as well." Will said, "It was about the end of the week when we came home to find a good portion of the house vandalized that my parents decided to get out while we still can."
"That's terrible." Kimberly said.
"Yeah, well, when I went to get my things, I was able to get the last laugh before I left." Will said, getting their attention, "You see, a small crowd was gathering, getting ready to give me a messy farewell, so I made sure to have them go back to using their brains again by asking them a couple of questions."
"And what were they?" Billy asked.
"Well, the day she said she was assaulted, I was at a martial arts demonstration in Los Angeles, and everybody knew that, so I asked them how I could have possibly do all of those things if I was about almost entire day away from the town at the time." Will explained, "And just before I stepped out, I made sure to ask them if I had somehow deceived them during all the times we grew up together."
"And did you ever find out what happened afterwards?" Rocky asked.
"Yeah one of her ex-lieutenants contacted me about a week after I've got the coin that everyone was looking for forgiveness towards me and my family." Will said, "And as it turns out, Violet doesn't have a single loyal bone in her body because she tried to manipulate people into doing things they don't want to do and everybody started to demand retribution for everything they were tricked into doing it."
"And from the sounds of things, she's out for blood." Rocky said, with his burger still not being touched because he was too interested about his friend's past.
"Yeah, and my advice to you is to be cautious around her because she doesn't take the word 'no' lightly." Will said, before getting back onto his feet, "Anyway, I need some alone time."
"Okay, just don't be gone too long Will." Billy said.
"Yeah and remember, we're here for you buddy." Tommy said.
"Thanks guys." Will said, before picking up his trash.
Zedd's Palace
Zedd was watching the whole thing, "My, my, so the almighty Green Ranger has a past he wants to remain buried." He said, "Maybe I should let history repeat itself."
"What do you have in mind master?" Goldar asked.
"Bring me Scorpina. I believe she deserves one more little chance." Zedd said.
"As you wish, milord." Goldar said, before leaving.
Earth
After leaving his friends, he decided to take a little walk in the park to help clear his head. About a couple of months ago, he was rushed into getting a new life started, from starting school at Angel Grove High, a couple of days later, he became the new Green Ranger, and after spending the next few days trying to get used to everything, his past shows up and now he has to be ready for just about anything all over again.
After coming across a lake, he looked around to see that he was alone, so he sat down and decided to do a little meditation to help collect his thoughts.
A few feet away, an angry teen was sending him dangerous glares. Violet was a person who always had her way and yet this one person had the nerve to tell her otherwise, and this time it was not going to be easy because now he has a small group of friends who would stand by him to the very end.
After getting tired of watching him sit still for about five minutes, she left trying to think of a way to destroy his life here. It wasn't until she got out of the clearing when she encountered Bulk and Skull walking around.
"We need to find way to find out who the Power Rangers are." Bulk said.
"Yeah, but how are we going to do that?" Skull said.
Bulk opened his mouth, not once, but twice to come up with an answer only to come up short. "Good question." He said.
"I might be of some help with that." The duo turned to be greeted by a smirking Violet.
Moon
Zedd was watching the whole conversation, "I don't know why, but I just have to help that human girl." He said, "But first I need to see how well the Green Ranger can fight on his own."
Angel Grove Park
After hearing what the girl had to offer, "So wait, in return of finding out the identity of the Power Rangers, you want us to gather information on somebody?" Bulk asked.
"Exactly, so do we have a deal?" Violet said.
Bulk didn't even need a second to come up with an answer. "Deal." He said.
"Yeah, deal." Skull said.
"So who is this person you want information on?" Bulk asked.
"Do you know Will Walker?" Violet asked.
"Oh that dweeb." Bulk said, "Yeah, just about everybody knows him because he is always hanging out with those other dweebs, practicing, helping out and all of that goody-goody stuff."
Before they could continue, Skull yelled out "Monsters!" While pointing towards the back of Violet.
Bulk looked and fear took over his body, "Well it was nice talking you, miss." He said before looking towards his best friend, "Let's go Skull!"
Violet turned around to watch as Will was fighting a total of twenty strange beings that looked like masked monks with a vest containing some kind of plate with a Z on it. She growled as she watched the boy sweep five of them off of their feet with a kick and following it up with a jump kick onto another one, "I will have my revenge, Walker." She said before deciding to leave as well.
Will was just stepping out of the forest when he spotted Violet talking to Bulk and Skull. While they might be considered the village idiots, even he would never want to have them agree to any of Violet's deals. Just before he could take a step towards them, he found himself surround by putties. "Just when I though this day wouldn't stop rolling downhill." He said, before doing a sweep kick to knock five of them flat onto their backs. He jumped towards one and kicked it in the chest. He ducked from one punch and back flipped to avoid a sweep kick, following it up with a quick hand stand as he kicked both putties before recovering back onto his feet. He kicked one, sending it up flying upwards before Will gave it a hard punch in the chest, sending it to collide with three more putties, taking them out on the process.
Just as putty went for a sneak attack, Will sent it flying with a strong side kick. "Why do I get the feeling that Zedd is just warming up?" He asked himself.
Zedd's Palace
"Oh you guessed right, Green Ranger." Zedd said, before turning toward the only female warrior he has, "Scorpina, I want you to keep him busy while I have my monster turn his friends against him."
"With pleasure, Lord Zedd." Scorpina said.
Earth
Will just finished off the last two putties, feeling a bit winded, "Okay, as much as I hate to ask that stupid question, but what now?" He asked only to roll out of the way just in time to avoid a kick. When he recovered, he looked to noticed who it was that attacked him, "I had to ask."
Scorpina gave a small laugh, before flicking her sword, "So Green Ranger, are you ready to pay for what you did during our last battle?" She asked.
"I don't know let me get dressed up for the occasion." Will said, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Dragonzord!"
After becoming the Green Ranger, "Now I'm ready." Will said, "Shall we dance?"
Moon
"Now Sirena, go down there and put the other rangers under your spell." Zedd ordered, before turning towards what looked like the Venus de Milo statue after being struck by the extremely ugly stick, and what looked like an evening gown made of seashells.
"Right away master." Sirena said, before disappearing in a flash of water.
Angel Grove
The other six rangers are walking through the parking, looking for their friend. "Man I thought today was going to be a good day." Rocky said who never got a chance to eat half of his burger because he lost his appetite from finding out about the reason why his friend moved to Angel Grove.
"I know, just when you thought you had it bad, you find out that somebody had it worse then you." Adam said.
"I know what he's going through." Tommy said, not saying anything more since he started to remember how he started out as the Green Ranger.
"And now you're going to help me make things even worse for him." The group turned to be greeted by Sirena.
"And how are we going to do that?" Aisha asked.
"Simple, you'll become his worst enemies once I get you under my spell." Sirena said, before taking fire, to which all six were able to dodge, none of them noticing that somebody got knocked out by the blast.
"Okay guys, its Morphin Time." Tommy yelled out, as they all got into position.
"Tigerzord!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-Tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
The six remaining Power Rangers are now ready for battle.
Command Center
Zordon and Alpha were watching both battles going on the viewing globe. At one instance, they showed the Green Ranger duck from a slash from Scorpina, while giving her a punch in the gut, and the next, they watched as the rest were able to hold their own against Sirena.
"Ay-yi-yi Zordon, what do we do?" Alpha said, "Zedd is attacking the rangers at different areas."
"I know Alpha, and while Will appears to have things under control." Zordon said, "So quickly scan Zedd's new monster because I get the feeling that it's just trying to weaken the rangers first."
"Scanning now Zordon," Alpha said, before grabbing the readout, "Ay-yi-yi, scans indicate that this monster uses sound as its weapon."
"So that is Zedd's plan, he is going to try and get the other rangers to turn on Will." Zordon said, "Contact Will right away that the others are going to need his help right away."
"Contacting now, Zordon." Alpha said, while pushing through buttons.
Park
Back at the battle between Scorpina and the Green Ranger, Will pulled out the Dragon Dagger to help make things more interesting. Just as Scorpina was coming in for the attack, Will's communicator went off, so he quickly ducked the attack and sent her flying back with a strong slash from his dagger. He placed his arm in front of his helmet, "What is it?" He asked, before having to throw Scorpina over his shoulder after spinning around to avoid another attack.
"Will, the other rangers are fighting a monster that could become their downfall." Alpha said, "You need to help them as soon as possible."
"On my way." Will said, before placing the dagger back into his holster. Deciding to end this fight for now, just as Scorpina was doing a jump slash, "Until next time." He said, before placing his hands onto his belt buckle and teleported away.
Just as her opponent vanished, "Until next time Green Ranger," Scorpina said, "You well fall by my hands."
At the other battle, Sirena looked like she was about to fall after being on the receiving end of one of the White Ranger's strong kicks. "Do you yield?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, because it looks like you are about to lose big time." Rocky said.
"You think so huh?" Sirena said, "Take this!" She shouted before launching an attack.
Just before the attack can reach its target, "Dragon Shield power now!" The Green Ranger showed up just in the nick of time, his Dragon Shield lighting up to take the brunt of the attack and send it back to its owner.
After being knocked off of its feet, it jumped back onto them, "I'm leaving, and I already have what I came for." Sirena said, before leaving in a splash of water."
"What do you think she meant by that?" Kimberly asked.
"I don't know," Tommy said, "Maybe we can find out at the Command Center."
After the seven rangers left in multi-colors of light, a person walks out of the shadows, revealing Violet, with her eyes giving off a brief red glow and an evil grin.
Here is the latest chapter. Sorry it isn't much, coming up with an original episode is a real pain in the butt. I'm curtain looking for a beta reader to help out with the fight scenes, someone who knows enough about martial arts. Read and Review.
