Declaimer: Harry Potter is owned by J.K Rowling and Power Rangers are owned by Saban/Disney
Chapter 4: Combined Society
Today the Rangers were at the base house. With the two new Rangers, the trio helped their friends adjust to this. Thanks to Nicolas, they added two extra beds for the boys' room and the girls' room. And thanks to Dobby, they all had their trunks again. Max even set up an owl house outside for Hedwig.
Right now, Ron was watching TV with Harry with him explaining him a few things, Hermione and Neville were in the library studying about some spells, while Luna was outside with Hedwig. Nicolas came from the basement. "Harry," he called to the boy-who-lived.
"Yes Nicolas?" Harry replied.
"Can you get Hermione and Neville here?" Nicolas said, "I have something to return."
"Sure," Harry left the living room and went upstairs to get his friends.
Nicolas went to the back door to get Luna. Soon the five teens were in kitchen and saw that Nicolas was holding their wands. "Well I finally took the tracers charms off of your wands," Nicolas said as he held the wands towards the wizards, "Sorry it took some time but now you can perform magic without the ministry knowing." The young wizards took their wands back but Nicolas had something else to say, "Neville, is this really your wand?"
Neville looked a bit nervous and started to ramble, "Well…you see…it is my father's wand and my grandmother said I should use it…"
"That can explain some thing," Nicolas said, "I think you can reach you full potential if you had a wand that was yours."
"But where can we get a new wand?" Harry asked.
"There is a plaza that has a shop that makes wands," Nicolas told them, "I'll get Max." Nicolas left the teens to go to the basement and in a few moments Nicolas returned with Max.
"Hey, Nic just told me what he wanted to do and I think it about we show you what American wizards are like," Max said.
"So how are we going to get there?" Hermione asked, "Floo network? Portkey?"
Max walked pass the kitchen and opened the far door, "We go by car." The teens walked towards the door to see two cars in the garage. "Harry, Hermione, and Ron you'll come with me in my car, Luna and Neville you'll go with Nicolas in his car."
"Nicolas can drive these?" Ron asked.
"Of course," Nicolas said as he walked past them, already in muggle clothing, "It is always a good idea to learn a few things in a new culture. Come on."
Everyone got in the cars and they started to drive. This was the first time the British wizards saw American wizard culture. They saw some of the kids in the neighborhood either flying on brooms or riding bikes. "As you can see this town is one of the few places in America where wizards and no-majs live together," Max told the three teens.
"No-majs?" Harry said.
"Muggles," Max replied, "We call muggles here no-majs."
"Hey, what is there to make sure a wizard doesn't use magic on muggles?" Hermione asked.
"Well some of the local wizards try to make sure other wizards don't try to manipulate the no-majs with their magic," Max explained, "But there are also charm shops to help those who can't use magic. For a small fee, they will charm something of yours to protect you. Occlumency is extra though."
Hermione had more questions but she noticed that the car was pulling into a parking spot. The four exit the car and saw Nicolas and the other teen wizards exit the car Nicolas drove.
"Welcome to our local shops," Nicolas said before turning to Max, "Max why don't you take the others to check out the shops while I take Neville to get a new wand."
"Okay," Max replied, "Send me a text when you're done and we'll meet up at a sports bar and have lunch there."
Nicolas nodded in agreement and took Neville to the wand shop and Max started lead the other wizards the other direction. As they started to walk the strip of shops, a police officer came up to them. "Hey why are these kids doing out of school?" he said.
"Sorry officer, but these students are studying abroad with Mr. Forrester," Max told the officer.
"Mr. Forrester?" the officer said before smiling, "You four are quite lucky to study under a great man like Nicolas. Have a good day."
When the officer left, Luna said, "So Nicolas has a cover name."
"Yeah, Nicolas is well known here in America as well, so he needed to make a false name," Max explained, "Come on, let's enjoy ourselves."
The wizards walked down the plaza and the first store that they entered was a bookstore, because of Hermione. Inside they saw the small store full of books. They all went around checking out the store, but Luna went to the store clerk and asked, "Excuse me, but do you have The Quibbler?"
"The what?" the clerk asked confused.
"It's a British Wizarding magazine," Max told the clerk.
"We don't have I here, but there could be a chance that the magazine cold be in another store," the clerk said.
"By the way," Ron started, "How are we to pay for this? We don't have Galleons or muggle currency."
"We only accept Dragot or U.S. bills," the clerk pointed out.
Max thought about it and said, "Well I can pay for some of these things until Nicolas and I figure something." Max also got another thought and turned to Harry, "Harry do you have a vault?"
"Yes," Harry replied.
"Okay, you and me are going a Gringrotts branch after lunch to get this," Max pulled out his wallet and soon a green card with the Gringrotts' seal on it, "A Gringrotts Card."
"A what?" Hermione asked.
"Gringrotts made their own credit cards," Max said and can tell the Ron and Luna didn't know what he was talking about, "We'll explain later."
Hermione found a few books and Max paid for it and they continued to walk down the plaza, where they saw more shops either it was muggle or wizard. They also saw billboards ads for different things like 'Glamorize your wands' or something for potions.
Soon Ron noticed a shop and had to go in with the others fallowing him. It was a small electronic shop that had smart phones and laptops. He walked to the display with the smart phones. "What are these?" he asked.
"They're smartphones," Harry told his friend.
"Ah, you must be British wizards," they turn to see a store clerk, "Not every day I see a wizard amazed at a phone."
"So, what makes these phones smart?" Ron asked.
"There are like portable computers," Harry said, "You can find almost any information and other programs."
"Any information?" Luna asked.
"Well some wizard stuffed had been added to the internet," Max said.
"I still don't see the big deal about it," Ron said.
"Trust me dear, wizards, like me, find these more useful," a female costumer told them.
Before Ron can say something, there was a strange beeping and Max pulled his smartphone from his pocket and looked at it. "Good news, Nicolas and Neville are done and will meet us at the sports bar," he told the group, "Come on, it's not far from here, we can walk."
After a ten-minute walk, they arrived to a sports bar and saw people inside, some were watching something on TV, some were having conversations with one another. They saw Nicolas and Neville already sitting at the table with drinks. Neville waved them down to come on over.
"Hey guys," Neville greeted as the groups sat at the table, "How do you think of this place?"
"It's different," Ron said and soon asked, "So did you get a wand."
"Oh yeah," Neville said as he pulled out a new wand.
"What is it?" Luna asked.
"It 13" Cherrywood with a unicorn hair core," Neville replied, "It feels so much better than my father's wand."
"So now that we are back together, let's get some lunch and maybe we can go to the mall to get some muggle clothing for you five," Nicolas said.
"Well I was think about taking Harry to Gringrotts to get a card for him," Max pointed out.
"Good idea," Nicolas said, "Maybe I'll take the others to mall to get a few more muggle clothing."
The group were given menus and both Nicolas and Max answered a few things about the muggle society.
Elsewhere in town, Hacker was roaming around the town's park. "Wizards and muggles, living together in harmony," Hacker let out a chuckle before saying, "A lot of those Purebloods in Britain will vomit at the sight of this. Might as well let those Rangers know that I'm here."
Hacker walked to the edge of the park where a man was on a motorcycle, trying to impress a woman. "Yeah babe, this bike is custom made," he said, "Want to hop on." Hacker the man off the bike, "What the Hell man!"
"I need this bike more then you," Hacker said as he pulled out a Virus Card and place it on the motorcycle, "Virus Card install!"
The Virus Card was absorbed into the bike. It started to reconfigure itself into a Metaroid, repeating the word 'Bikeroid.' The Metaroid was taller than Hacker, it had a black upper body and light blue legs. Its body mimic what a stereotypical bicker looks like. It head was a chrome skull with sharp teeth and bike handles coming out of its head. Bikeroid was holding a long chin in its hands. "Oh yeah, Bikeroid is here!" it shouted scaring the people around them.
"Bikeroid go and create havoc around here," Hacker told the robot.
"Yes master," Bikeroid said as it left Hacker, who also summoned a bunch of Bugs.
Back at the home of the Ranger, Steel Beak started to screeching, "Metaroid! Metaroid!" But no one can hear it.
At the mall, Ron and Neville were tired being dragged around from store to store check out the different clothes. "Seriously why do girls need to go to different stores to find something," Ron complained, "Come on let's go someplace else."
Ron pulled Neville another direction. The looked at the different stores that interest them. They passed a broom shop, next to it was a Gamestop displaying games. "What are these things?" Neville asked.
From what Harry said, they're called video games," Ron told Neville, "They are some sort of entertainment for muggles."
The screens in the shop was showing an upcoming M-rated game. "Looks violent," Neville stated.
Yet Ron looked amazed at it, "It looks bloody wicked!"
"And it is a waste of time," They turned to see Hermione and Luna, "It's a dead-end hobby."
"Not entirely true," the woman behind the counter said, "If you see some of those guys on Let's Play guys on YouTube, they make a living with playing games."
"Well you two shouldn't wonder around," Hermione said, "Come on let's go." Hermione was about to lead the group, but Luna saw another upcoming game were that had odd looking creatures. "Come on!" Hermione said as she dragged Luna out of there.
The four foreign wizards continued down the mall stopping at a shop that sold ingredient and supplies for potions. In the front the shop was a book entitled 'Potion Making for No-Maj Beginner.'
"A book for muggles to make potions," Hermione said as she took a copy, "Can muggles really make potion?"
"Of course," an older man passing by said, "Hell they are much batter and much cheaper than the medicine the pharmacy companies trying to make us pay an arm and a leg for."
Unknown to them, Bikeroid was approaching the mall with Bugs behind it. "Ah the mall, with plenty of people to wreak havoc on," it said with a chuckle.
Nicolas was an electronic store, placing a few items in his bag, that was charmed to hold whatever goes in it. "Man, no matter how many times I've magic like that, I can never get used to it," the clerk said.
Nicolas smiled and said, "It takes time, I wish you a good day." Nicolas took the last box and walked out of the store. Once out he heard a familiar noise, he looked up to see Steel Beak screeching "Metaroid!" Nicolas apparated out of there.
At Gringotts, Max and Harry were waiting in line. "Sorry about this Harry," Max said, "There are never lines here."
Nicolas walked into the bank and found the two. "Maxwell, Harry," he got their attention, "We got a problem."
Max knew what it meant and said, "Alright take Harry, I'll return home."
The three got out of the bank where Nicolas and Harry apparated while Max had to hide and use the Buster Morpher to teleport out of there.
At the mall, Bikeroid slammed the chains on ground making it ground shake and cracking the floor. Nicolas and Harry arrived and saw the four wizards getting ready to fight the Metaroid. "Stop it the fur of you!" Nicolas shouted as he and Harry ran up to the group, who stopped, "You five need to your identities a secret. There should be a hall behind that door that you can transform."
The teens nodded and ran to the door and into an empty hallway. "Wizard Magic enhance!" the five wizards transformed into their ranger form and ran right back out.
The Bugs and Metaroid were in the food court, destroying everything. Bikeroid soon spotted the Rangers. "The Power Rangers, here at last," it said.
The people who were still around, were amazed to see the Power Rangers and started to whisper, "Power Rangers here?"
"Power Rangers in the middle of Virginia?"
The five charged in and started to fight. Harry did a leg sweep to knock a Bug to the ground, then he punched another Bug in the chest. But another Bug slashed him with its claw.
Bugs were firing lasers at Ron, who was dodging the shots, but he quickly noticed people behind him. He got his wand out, "Protego!" A shield appeared in front of him and it reflected the lasers back at the Bugs.
"They're wizards!" someone said.
"Stupefy!" Hermoine shouted hit the Bugs, "Expulso!" The same Bugs exploded to bits.
"They're Power Rangers Wizards!" another person said.
Bugs were slashing their claws at Neville, who was back up to dodge the attack until he tripped on something. A Bug was about to stab Neville, when he grabbed his sword and blocked the attack. He kicked it away and got back up.
Neville was ready for the next one, before Luna slashed her sword at it. "Need a hand?" she said.
"Didn't know you can fight," Neville said.
"There is more to me then you know," Luna said.
Bikeroid lashed the chain it had like a whip hitting Luna in the back. "Alright you two, let's fight!" it shouted. It lashed its chain at the two, who dove to the sides. Bikeroid was taking its aim at Luna as it continued to lash its chain at her. Luna used her sword to catch the chain, "Hey let go!" it shouted.
Neville stabbed the Metaroid with his sword and slashed it. Neville pulled out his wand, "Stupefy!" the spell knocked Bikeroid back.
Bikeroid looked around itself and saw a woman near it. The Metaroid quickly got up and wrapped its chain around the woman's neck, "Surrender your weapons Power Rangers, or I'll take this woman's life!"
The Rangers saw the robot holding a hostage, they were considering to toss their weapons aside. From the sidelines, Nicolas pulled out his wand and aimed at Bikeroid. "Confundus!"
When the charm hit Bikeroid, it let go of the woman. Neville and Luna looked at each other and nodded. They got their wands and cast another spell, "Flipendo!" The force of the spell was strong enough to send the Metaroid flying backwards through the glass the leads to the parking lot.
"You two deal with that Metaroid, we'll take of the Bugs!" Harry told the two before kicking a Bug away.
"But…" Neville started but Luna stopped him.
"Come on we can do it!" Luna said as she dragged Neville outside where Bikeroid.
"This is why I hate magic," Bikeroid started, "You wizards use it to cheat and control others. That's why my master wants your kind destroyed, after what you done to him."
"What do you mean?" Neville asked.
Bikeroid didn't replied, it started to lash its chain at the two wizards. Luna was able to dodge the attack, but Neville got hit by it.
Luna charged in with her sword hitting the Metaroid a few times. Bikeriod grabbed Luna and tossed her into a car.
"Leave her alone!" Neville shouted as he stabbed Bikeroid.
"Fine!" Bikeroid said as it turned to Neville "I'll kill you first."
Bikeroid opened its mouth and fire spewed out towards Neville, who started to dodge it. He soon pulled out his wand and pointed it at the Metaroid, "Aguamenti!" water fired from the tip of his wand and hit the flames. It was holding the flames back. Luna saw this and got an idea, she took her sword and used it to slam the Metaroid's mouth shut. Bikeroid let out a muffle scream as liquid metal drop from its face. It used its hands to cover its face, only to have them stuck.
"Alright you two," Max said in their helmets, "This is your chance to finish the Metaroid. Place the tip of your wand on the hilt of the sword and once the blade glows in your color, swing it towards the Metaroid."
"Do we need to say a spell?" Neville asked.
"No, this spell just needs strong magic from wizards like you," Max replied, "Now do it!"
Neville and Luna did what Max told them and placed the tip of their wands on the hilts. The blades glowed in their color, then the two swung their swords at Bikeroid, creating two blade beam flying towards the Metaroid.
When the beams hit Bikeroid, it let out a muffled scream as electricity surged through it and explode, leaving pieces of itself all around.
"You did it!" the two turned to see Harry, Hermione, and Ron coming out of the mall, "Great job you two!" Harry said.
Off to the distance, Hacker was annoyed at what happen before saying, "Release the repair drones!"
The repair drones flew in, not surprising the Rangers, and started to fix Bikeroid in matter of seconds. "Aha, time to teach you not to melt someone's face!" it shouted.
"Begin the download!"
The repair drones inserted themselves into Bikeroid and their energy made the robot into a giant.
"Alright guys time for round two," Max told them, "Neville it's time for you to take control of your Zord."
"But I cannot…" Neville was interrupted when his friends placed their hands on his shoulder.
"Don't worry mate, we're here for you," Ron said.
"It seems scary at first, but you'll be a natural at it in no time" Hermione said.
"Thanks guys," Neville said, "Let's go."
"Launching Zords!"
The Rangers' Zords appeared along with a new fifth Zord, the Griffon Zord. The Griffon Zord had a green head, legs and wings were green, while the rest of its body was white.
The Rangers teleported to their Zords' cockpit. "Okay, Neville, Luna, do you see a slot with the colors red, blue, yellow, green, and white around it?" Harry asked.
"Yeah."
"Insert your wands into it," Harry told them.
The rangers placed their wands in the slot and Zords went into auto-pilot.
The Phoenix, Unicorn, and Wyvern Zords came together to form the Megazord. The Mermaid Zord's upper body folded 180 degrees and its arms wrapped around its tail. The Griffon Zord's legs folded into its body and the wings fully expand out to look like a fan. The Megazord inserted its arms into the Zord, giving it new arms, the Mermaid Zord on the right and Griffon Zord on the left, and armaments. And the Wizard Spear was resting in the wings of the Phoenix Zord.
"Wizard Megazord Complete!" the team shouted as they were taken to the cockpit of the Megazord.
Bikeroid charged at the Megazord, swinging its chain around, trying to hit the Megazord. "Is this all it has?" Ron asked as the Megazord easily dodged that attacks. The Megazord swung its right arm, using the Mermaid Zord's tail as a sword, hitting Bikeroid back.
"Oh yeah, try this!" Bikeroid shouted as it opened its mouth and flames spewed out towards the Megazord. The Megazord started to flap its left arm and the wings of the Griffon Zord started to create a gust of wind the blew the flame right back to the Metaroid. "Are you serious!" it shouted before the Megazord got in close and kicked Bikeroid.
"Hey Harry, shall we finish this fight?" Neville asked.
"We shall," Harry replied.
The arms of the Megazord started to glow and the wings on its back were covered in fire. It swung its right arm first followed by its left arm hitting Bikeroid. Then the fire flew from the Megazord's wings and at Bikeroid. Bikeroid screamed as it fell forward and explode on impact.
From the explosion, a blue light was flying to the sky and they heard Bikeroid saying, "Stupid goody-two-shoe wizards and their dumb Megazord!" The blue light soon burst into blue sparks.
On the ground, Hacker let out a scuff as he started to glow orange. "Oh well," he said, "I have bigger fish to fry." And Hacker teleported out of there.
The Rangers returned to the base's gym, quite pleased with the battle. "I can't believe we can use five Zord now," Hermione said, "With five of us, Hacker stands no chance against us."
Luna looked around and noticed something, "Hey where's Max?"
"In here!" Max called out from the Control Room.
The young wizards wondered over to the Control Room to see, Max on a computer that has wires connected to Steel Beak, "What's going on?" Hermione asked.
"Well Nicolas told me that since no one was here when the Metaroid appeared, Steel Beak had to come find either me or Nicolas," Max answered back, "So I'm adding a program that if no one is here Steel Beak will get the location of the Metaroid and send it to our phones."
Before anyone can say anything else, Nicolas walked into the basement, "Well done today everyone," he said as he placed a bag on a nearby table, "Today you demonstrated the power of the completed Wizard Megazord."
"Thanks Nicolas," Harry said before noticing the bag, "What with the bag?"
Nicolas smiled and said, "Well, since the five of you are going to be here, I thought it was time to get you all these." Nicolas reach into the bag and pulled out five large rectangular boxes with five small boxes. "I got every one of you a personal laptop and smart phone."
The teens were excited to hear that and were about to grabbed the boxes when Max shouted. "Hey Nic!" getting everyone's attention, "We forgot our cars again."
Nicolas sighed and said, "We have to stop doing that." Nicolas walked over to Max where he apparated him and Max to get the cars.
At Hogwarts, Augusta Longbottom was sitting in the Headmaster's office glaring at Dumbledore and the head of Gryffindor house, Minerva McGonagall. "What do you mean my grandson disappeared?!" she said.
"Well it's as we said," Dumbledore said.
"But how can five students disappear?" Augusta demanded to know, "Hogwarts is declared to be the safest place and how can that be if you have five students go missing!"
"We are trying to find them," McGonagall said.
"Well I hope you find them soon or I'll let the Board of Governers know about this," Augusta said before leaving.
Dumbledore was rubbing his temples, nothing was going to plan this year. First Harry Potter goes missing, a man with robots attacks, and there are colored wizards that muggle-borns would prefer trusting over him. He need to work hard to set things back to the way he wants it as his Greater Good depends on it.
