Angel Grove
A/N: This is part 2 of the pilot. What will happen now that Rita is free? Will Lin and Johnny be able to stop them? I don't own any music that will be played in the seasons to come. I don't own the Power Rangers franchise, nor the certain characters that are in this fanfiction. I own the concept of the story and the main five original characters. This story is mostly rated M for use of adult language.
Episode Two: Pilot, Part 2
Drake Cave
"Yeah! I live again!" Rita exclaims as the sky grows darker and teal lighting fills the sky. Lin and Johnny are laying on the ground shocked. "She is real..." Lin whispered, " We have to stop her!" She gets up along with Johnny and walks towards Rita. "Hey Rita!" Rita stops gloating and sees the two humans staring a hole at her. "Goldar, who are these creatures?" Goldar rises up and says, "They are less than nothing...just like this planet you will conquer." Lin taking offense to Goldar's comment, "I wouldn't be so confident, if I were you, you will address your new problem." Lin says as she and Johnny lifts up the bracelets around their left wrists. Rita astonished to see those bracelets again, flips her lid. "You think that you both are chosen...you think that you will lock me back in that tomb? I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL!" Rita yells as she summons putties. "KILL THE PRETENDERS!"
Lin looks at Johnny as putties surround them, "Hey do you still know Tae-kwon-do?" Johnny scoffs as he answers, "I was just waiting for a reason to bust it out." Lin chuckles, "Well now is a good time." As the putties get ready to pounce, Lin and Johnny gets into their attack stance. As they begin fighting, they realized just how easily the putties can be defeated, however after as least three minutes, they realized how arduous the task is as Rita keeps replicating more putties. "Damn! Lin, this doesn't look good at all." Johnny states as they become overwhelmed. Rita laughs as it becomes obvious that they are swarmed. "So called heroes...this will be your grave tonight!" After that was said, something strange is happening to Lin, as she gets angry, her eyes are glowing fire red. "No...the fuck...it will...NOT!" Lin breaks free and breathes fire, burning the majority of the putties. Afterwards, Lin just stares in astonishment, as Johnny looks at her, also bewildered. "How in the hell did you do that?" Lin gets up and stares at her glowing, now fading bracelet. "I don't know...this is news to me..."
Goldar and Lavus advances towards Lin, clearly seeing her as a threat. Johnny slides in front of Lin with hands in front saying, "Back off!" Producing a powerful Sonar Wave that pushes them far back. "This is insane...we both have powers..." he says while staring at his bracelet. The cave rumbles as Rita's lightning is striking down everywhere causing chaos in the streets. Goldar runs to the Empress, "My Empress, it's not safe to be here, let's formulate a plan for another day." Rita touches Goldar's face and says, "Yes, next time...you rangers will die another day, I promise you that." With that all three disappeared into smoke. "Get back here!" Lin yells as Johnny is pulling her from the cave. "Come on, it's not safe here! We have to go!" he exclaims as they run out of the cave, they are dodging lightning strikes as they run to their perspective cars, as they run Lin sees that her car is obliterated. "Shit!" Johnny rides in his car and calls out for Lin. " Lin! In here quick!" He says as Lin jumps in the passenger seat of his car. "Gun it!" Lin says, and Johnny floors the motor, driving as fast as he can to avoid the random lightning strikes. "This is crazy, Rita is real! Worst of all, she's alive. Does this mean that we are..." Before he could finish his statement, Lin interrupts by saying, "I don't know, but I think that it would be better if we make it out alive first and foremost!" As they are driving, Johnny went through a terrible realization as the lightning is moving faster. "Is it me, or is the lightning only try to hit-" Before that question gets asked, the lightning hits the back of Johnny's car, tumbling it over, as they flip upside down, Johnny and Lin slowly blackout as the lightning ceases...
Random Place, Unknown Time
Lin wakes up in a strange place slowly her eyes are re-acclimating to the excessive bright lights in what looks to be a laboratory. "Ugh...where the hell am I?" As she tries to get up, her head starts ringing and her vision is blurred, then she sees flashes of the same red dragon she saw in the cave. "No, this has to be a dream..." As she continues to sit up, a voice moves towards her as her vision becomes clear. Lin takes a good look at the figure, she was short, petite no less than five foot two, with an ensemble of a schoolgirl uniform covered by a lab coat. Features are innocent, with black hair cut in a bob with green eyes. Her aura was that of cold and calculating, which can sum up as distrusting. "Who the hell are you? You better answer me..." Lin demands as she gets into her Taekwondo stance. The woman stares at Lin with a deadpan expression. "Do you actually want an answer, Lin Watanabe, or do you want to fight?" The woman says as she enters another room. Lin very shocked that she knows her name, follows her into the room where she sees a weary Johnny sitting in a chair.
"Oh shit, J! Are you alright?" Johnny nods his head as he get his bearings. "Yeah, I'm fine. Last thing I remember..." The woman interrupts by saying, "You damn near died in a fatal car accident." As both Lin and Johnny turn back to the woman, she continued. "My name is Dr. K, you're in my special lab and safe house outside of Angel Grove." Lin helps Johnny to his feet while she asks another question. "Doctor, how did we survive that?"
"The answer is on your wrist, Lin..." They both looked at their bracelets before Doctor K continued. "The stones on your bracelets came from a asteroid full of cosmic energy, the different rays of energy pertains to a different power or supernatural ability, it also reflects on that person's spirit animal." Doctor K walks towards them both. "The Red Dragon for you, Lin...and The Blue Bat for you, Mr. Drake...I'm here to be your mentor and I provide the technology to help you fight Rita Repulsa." She pulls out a small case with 5 wrist morphers. Johnny is now getting excited, "So are you telling me...yes! I knew it, they are real, Lin!" Lin sits down as she takes it all in. "I don't know what to actually say about this." Doctor K turns to Lin. "This is likely the very last thing you wanted, Miss Watanabe, however, this is all bigger than that. You are chosen to lead this team, as Angel Grove's red ranger."
Lin unsure of what's to come, puts on a brave face. "What do we do?" Doctor K picks up the red and blue morphers and walks towards them. "Let the bracelets bond with the morphers, as they attach to your wrists, I can develop technology for weapons and zords. When ready to morph, spin the disc on the morpher and say, 'Ranger Aura, Initiate!' The power is yours." As they touch the morphers, the bracelets turned into energy and fused with the devices. "Amazing..." Johnny says as they secure the morphers around their wrists. "For now live your lives, I will call if needed. There will be more worthy individuals that the stone will find, they will eventually join our operations and because of that, you will all need to work together. Lin looks at Johnny. "J, I'm not ready to be a ranger, I'm not ready to be a leader, but Rita is a menace and I'm not going to let her roam free." "I hear you...but we can do this...I'll do what you think is right." Johnny says. Lin breathes a sigh of relief. "Thanks, J." Alarms sound in the lab and Doctor K checks her supercomputer. "It's Rita, go!" Johnny and Lin flee to the city to intercept Rita.
Times Square, Angel Grove
Rita, Goldar & Lavus reappear in the middle of the city. Rita holds evil growth seeds that will create new creatures in her sick imagination. "This city is mine then I will conquer the world...arise Cyclonus and Dasani!" Out of those seeds, came two figures. One was a creature made of motorcycle parts, he was hyper and ready to destroy. The other one was a water based creature that have high amounts of poisonous elements in her body. Lin and Johnny arrives right on time before anything happens. "RITA REPULSA!" Lin yells as Rita and her legion turns around and sees them both. "Ah yes! The chosen warriors! How lovely would it be to destroy you, Cyclonus, Dasani, destroy them! Then destroy Angel Grove." With that, Rita, Goldar and Lavus disappeared. Cyclonus turns to Lin and Johnny, "I'm raring to go, goodbye humans!" he says as he charges towards them both. Lin and Johnny lifts their bracelets and they turn into morphers. "Ready?" Lin calls. "Ready."Johnny says as both spin the discs on their morphers. "Ranger Aura, initiate!" They transform as the auras of the dragon and bat engulf them in new uniforms. "Oh, shit..." Johnny says as looks at his ranger suit, silver belt, full blue suit with a bat emblem in the middle, white gloves with the morpher attached, white boots and a blue bat helmet. Lin has a similar suit but in red, with the dragon emblem, and she has a white sash wrapped around her indicating her as a leader, with a red dragon helmet.
"Whoa! This is so cool!" Johnny exclaims. Lin notices Doctor K's voice in her helmet. "Lin, can you hear me?!" Lin press the button on the side of the helmet. "Loud and clear Doctor. What?" Lin lets go of the button. "The cosmic stone will protect you both from harm. Press the button on your belt to deploy your weapons." Doctor K explains. "Okay." Both of them pressed the middle button and weapons came out. "Dragon Bo Staff!" Lin calls out. "Sonar Cannon!" Johnny calls out. Lin turns to Johnny. "You take chop shop over there, I'll handle piss water." Dasani hears this and gets upset, "Piss water...you disrespectful little bitch!" she says as she charges towards Lin. Johnny uses his martial arts to hold his own when Cyclonus charges at him. "You're dead, bat boy!" he says charges at him. "You're wrong Sonar Cannon, full blast, fire!" As Johnny uses the cannon, Cyclonus shattered in multiple cycle parts then exploded. Meanwhile, Lin dodges poisonous icicles of water, and blocks most of them with her staff. "Poison Mist!" Dasani spits out towards Lin, but Lin's helmet de-materializes and uses her dragon fire breath to combat the poison mist, her eyes glow red as the power of the red dragon flows within her body. With that, the fire gets stronger and Dasani yells as she evaporates. Johnny and Lin look at each other with astonishment. "Whoo-hoo!"Johnny yells out in relief meanwhile, Lin smiles but inside she is thinking about defeating Rita. 'I will defeat you Rita...best believe that.'
Doctor K's Facility
On the roof of the small facility outside of Angel Grove, as she plays music on her speaker, Lin thinks about how in the last 24 hours her life has changed, not sure if it's for the better or for worse. There were many things to consider, her living situation, her job at The High Life, she wishes that her parents didn't disown her for choosing her own life path, she could use solid advice.
[Chorus x2]
You know you can call me
When nobody picking up
When it feel like don't nobody in the world give a fuck
Call Me
I'll be there to pick you up
5-6-4-4-2 hit me up
As the music plays, Lin makes a promise to herself, "I will be clear, I will be focused, I will be the leader everyone deserves. There will be new rangers on this team in the future, and I will give them everything until Angel Grove will be safe again..."
A/N: Episode 2 is done! It will pick up with new additions to the team and a few surprises as well. Stay tuned for Episode 3: Strong As a Boar. The chorus of the music is from "Call Me" by Logic. It's a wonderful song, but I don't own it. Nor the Power Rangers franchise. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!
