Hi guys! So so sorry for the long update but my Internet really sucks. Thank you so much for the reviews and for the great ideas! I'll definetaly use them some point in the series! Anyway, here's Chapter 5! Enjoy! :D
Chapter 5
Fighting's No Game
The Red, Blue, Pink and Yellow Energy Rangers stared at the Green Energy Ranger as he just stood there in front of the charging alien mutant.
"What does he think he's doing?" exclaimed Zoe.
Callum shook his head. "I don't know but I'm going after him," he said, running after the alien.
Behind his green helmet, Jason grinned as the alien pulled out some super sharp claws. 'That's it,' he thought to himself mischievously. 'Come a little closer . . .'
The alien roared and prepared to slash at Jason. Jason grinned even wider and prepared to dodge out of the way . . .
"Lightning Saber!"
Before either of them could react, Callum had slashed the alien from behind. The alien screamed and then exploded.
Jason stared at Callum, annoyed. "What did you do that for?"
"Why do you think I did that?" said Callum, demorphing. "You could've gotten hurt real bad."
"I was only having some fun with the alien," said Jason.
"Yeah, you've said exactly the same thing for the last FIVE monsters!" scolded Zoe. She and the others had walked up to Jason and demorphed too. "This whole Power Rangers stuff isn't just one big game you know! We're PROTECTING people here!"
"Yeah, Zoe's right," agreed Callum. "I mean, all you're doing is messing with the aliens instead of actually fighting them."
Alex nodded. "Yeah, you're becoming cockier than-"
Zoe flashed him a warning look which shut the yellow ranger up. "Sorry," he muttered.
"I think what the others are trying to say is that you're just not taking this Power Ranger business as seriously as you should be," said Olivia.
"Aw come on! You're taking this Power Ranger Business TOO seriously! I mean, look at all the presidents and policemen. They like to have fun too!" Jason laughed, ignoring the serious looks on his teammates' faces.
"Yeah but being Power Rangers is a million times for serious!" said Zoe. "We're protecting people all the time! We're protecting the world."
Jason snorted.
"Do you really think this is a laughing matter?" Zoe snapped.
"Sorry." Jason cleared his throat.
"Let's just go back to the lab," sighed Callum, running off, closely followed by Alex and Olivia. Zoe glared at Jason before the two of them ran off too. Nevertheless, the green ranger shrugged and ran after them.
"Master Paine?"
"What do you want now Ernestine? I am sick and tired of you tagging along! All you do is whine and waste my time!" he snarled.
Ernestine backed away a step before finally replying "I think I've found a way to get rid of the Power Rangers."
"And what are you going to do then? All of your plans have failed me so far!" said Master Paine.
"Not this one," chuckled Ernestine. "I've noticed that the majority of males in the world are into what they call 'video games.' I've been thinking . . . if we can somehow trap the three male Power Rangers into a video game and then destroy the females . . ."
Master Paine sat up in his throne. "The Sports Energy will be ours! Brilliant, Ernestine!"
Ernestine grinned. It wasn't every day her hard work was appreciated.
Suddenly Master Paine's face dropped. He sank back down into his throne. "But . . . the Rangers probably aren't into video games!"
Enertine chuckled again. "Master Paine, you'll never know . . ."
"JASON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Oh . . . hi Zoe," muttered Jason, not looking up from his video game.
"I asked you, what are you doing?!" Zoe yelled angrily.
Jason ignored her and continued with his game. "Yes . . . yes . . . yes . . . ah, no! I nearly had 'em!"
Zoe stormed up to him and stood in front of the TV screen,
"Hey! You're blocking my view!" cried Jason, shifting left and right, trying to get a good look at his beloved video game.
"You're supposed to be training with me," scolded Zoe.
"Oh . . . yeah . . . can't you do it with somebody else?" muttered Jason.
"Alex and Olivia are training against each other and there's no point in training against Callum because he'll only beat me- AGAIN!" Zoe complained.
Jason's eyes widened. "Ohhh, so you're afraid of getting beaten up by Callum, are you?" he grinned.
"DON'T you start too, Jason!" Zoe snapped. "I mean it! You've been sitting around like that since we got back! YOU NEED TO DO YOUR TRAINING!"
The green ranger sighed but paused the game and got up. When Zoe meant business, she meant business. "Fine. I'll go put my shoes on."
"Hurry up!"
"Okay, I will," said Jason calmly, heading out.
As soon as he was gone, Callum, Alex and Olivia headed into the chill-out room.
"So you finally got him to move off his butt," said Olivia.
Zoe groaned. "I just can't believe him. He didn't even bother to switch off the game properly."
Olivia picked up the game box and read it aloud: "'Dragon Slayer 3.' Contains strong violence." She shuddered. "Well no wonder he never takes fighting crime seriosuly."
"He's got 'Dragon Slayer 3? Awesome!" smiled Alex.
Everyone stared at him.
"What? It IS a cool game," said Alex.
"Are you for real?" snapped Zoe. "You've seen what a slacker Jason is. He needs to learn how to WORK!"
"Hey, take it easy on them. You need to learn how to relax," said Callum.
Zoe glared at him. "I'm perfectly relaxed, thank you very much! You should see me on ice!"
"Well you DO take this whole Power Ranger business a little too seriously. You've got to learn to loosen up a bit. My dad once told me that it's not about winning, it's about taking part and having fun," Callum explained.
Zoe just shrugged. "Whatever." She started fidgeting with the controls. "How do you turn this thing off?"
"The 'off' button's right there," said Callum, pointing.
"Oh yeah. Thanks," murmured Zoe.
She was about to press the 'off' button but before any of them could react, the TV and the controls began to glow violently and some sort of wind began to pull at the Rangers.
"What's happening?" shrieked Olivia.
"We're getting dragged in!" yelled Alex.
"Try and grab something!" shouted Callum.
But they couldn't. Either the items in the room were out of reach or not strong enough to support their body weight. And the TV dragged the four Rangers inside.
"THIS IS ALL JASON'S FAULT!" Zoe screamed as they disappeared inside the TV screen.
A few secconds later, Jason came in with his shoes on, ready to start the training fight. "Hey Zoe, I'm ready to-" He paused when he saw that there was no one there. The green ranger shrugged "Weird."
In a seemingly medieval town, a portal appeared out of nowhere and Callum, Zoe, Olivia and Alex flew out and crash-landed on the dirt.
"Ugh . . . what happened?" moaned Callum, rubbing his head.
The Rangers sat up and took a moment to take in their surroundings.
"Where are we?" gasped Olivia.
"Forget that! How do we get out!" yelled Zoe, jumping to her feet and whipping around only to see that the portal they had fallen out of had disappeared. "What are we gonna do know?"
Alex was taking a good look around him. "Guys . . ." he said hesitantly. "I think I know we are . . ."
"Well where are we then?" snapped Zoe.
The yellow ranger took a deep breath before finally announcing "We're inside Jason's video game!"
Callum, Zoe and Olivia stared at him.
"WHAT?" shrieked Zoe.
"Are you kidding?" said Callum.
Alex shook his head.
"Then what'll we do?" cried Olivia.
Callum thought for a moment. "I'm guessing . . . maybe we have to somehow beat the game. Then we should be able to get back!"
"Oh Callum, you make it sound so easy," sighed Alex.
"How come?" asked Callum, staring at him.
"There are like five levels we have to get through. And I'm stuck on level three."
Zoe groaned. "Well that's just perfect!" she said sarcastically.
All of a sudden, the town became filled with shrieks and screams from the peasants and they dropped their baskets of food or clothing and made a run for it.
"THE BLACK DRAGON IS COMING!" a woman screamed at the Rangers. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"Did she just say 'Black Dragon?'" said Olivia.
"I think she did," said Alex. "And I think that's him up there!" he added pointing at the monster himself towering over the terrified citizens. Smoke curled out of it's nostrils and it's red eyes glared over the town, looking for a meal.
Alex turned to his teammates. "I think it's time for us to play along!"
"Agreed," Callum nodded as he and the others pulled out their Energy Morphers. "It's Morphin' Time! Ready?"
"Ready!" Zoe, Olivia and Alex chanted.
"Sports Energy, Suit Up!"
Obviously the morphing sequence caught the Black Dragon's attention and it swooped down over the Rangers who all dodged out of the way. The Black Dragon turned around again and exhaled flames from it's mouth.
"Ice Blade!"
The Blue Energy Ranger shielded off the flames with her sword, preventing them from doing any damage. The Black Dragon shot more flames at her again, this time a bit stronger. Again, Zoe shielded them off but stumbled backwards under the strength of the flames.
"How are we supposed to defeat it?" cried Olivia.
"I don't know!" exclaimed Callum. "The only think I was think of is blowing it up! But Jason's in charge of doing stuff like that!"
"How about we activate the MegaZord?" suggested Alex.
"Yeah, IF ONLY THE MEGAZORD COULD WALK WITHOUT LEGS!" shouted Zoe, ducking to avoid being snatched by the swooping dragon. "Am I the only non-slacker here? DO SOMETHING!"
"We've got your back!" Callum called at her as Olivia charged at the dragon who was swooping down for another shot.
"Energy Vault!"
The Pink Energy Ranger used the pole to leap into the air and stuck it upwards into the Black Dragon's mouth, preventing it from closing it's mouth so it couldn't snap at anyone or exhale flames.
"Hock Hammer!"
The Yellow Energy Ranger ran up to the Black Dragon and struck it's head with his weapon, knocking it to the ground and it skidded across the ground.
"Lightning Saber!"
Just to be on the safe side, the Red Energy Ranger struck the dragon with his weapon.
"Um . . . Callum . . . what are you doing?" said Zoe, staring at him.
"You can never be too safe," he replied, slashing the dragon again. He struck the dragon one last time before it disappeared.
The Rangers stared at it, wondering what just happened. Nevertheless, they demorphed as an old woman who looked like she was a peasant ran up to them.
"You slayed the dragon," she gasped.
"It was nothing," said Callum, blushing a little.
The old woman was looking at them up and down. "You don't look like knights to me."
"We- well- it's . . . complicated," Alex stuttered. Olivia and Callum nodded, playing along. Obviously they were not convincing the old woman.
Zoe smacked Alex in the arm.
"What?" Alex stared at her.
"She's from a video game! She's not real! We can tell her the truth!" hissed Zoe. She cleared her throat and spoke in a tone that was so polite, it sounded fake. "No, we aren't exactly knights. We come from a completely different world altogether."
"Then what are you?" asked the woman.
Zoe put on the most pleasant smile she could manage. "We're Po-"
"Energy Warriors!" Alex suddenly interrupted. Zoe's face dropped and she glared at the yellow ranger but Alex ignored her.
"Energy Warriors?" the woman repeated.
"Ye- yeah," said Olivia hesitantly. "We're Energy Warriors all right!"
"Energy Warriors From the Future!" Callum joined in.
Zoe slapped her face with her palm and groaned in frustration. If she had to spend one more hour with her so-called "teammates", she would completely lose it.
"Dr. Sparks, have you seen the others?" asked Jason, heading into the lab. "I've checked all over the HQ and they're not there."
The scientist looked up from his experiment. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Zoe insisted that I do training with her and when I came back, she and the others were just gone!"
That caught Dr. Sparks' attention. He got up and ran over to the computer screen and pressed a few keys.
"It's a good thing that you found out now because it turns out that your teammates aren't the only ones! Thousands of other people have been reported missing around the world too!" explained the Dr. Sparks.
"I'll go check it out," said Jason, racing off.
A few moments later, Jason wandered around the city in search of any human or alien activity. It was very quiet. Jason groaned and kicked a can around. Behind him, he failed to notice Ernestine holding a silver ball. "Let's play a little game, shall we?" And she threw the ball into the air, an army of FlunkBots appearing out of it.
The snarling noises coming from the aliens caught Jason's attention and he immediately began to fight. He jumped on top of a car and two FlunkBots jumped onto it on either side of him. Seeing that they were about to attack him from each sides, Jason performed a three backflips to avoid getting punched before leaping up and sticking out his legs to kick the two FlunkBots in the chest, knocking them over. He then front-flipped off the car to pummel his feet into a third FlunkBot before running over to a wall, flipping off it and knocking out the final few FlunkBots.
Over in her hiding place, Ernestine grumbled and retreated.
"I have never heard of Energy Warriors from the future," said the old woman. "I've heard of Dragon Slayers but never in all my days would I have heard of Energy Warriors."
"We're different," said Zoe before whispering in Callum's ear "Why can't we just tell her the truth?"
"We can't trust her. We don't know her well enough," Callum replied.
Zoe made a grunting noise and rested her head on her hand, obviously fed up. 'Why are my teammates so stupid?' she thought to herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a crashing noise and the sound of panic filled the air. The Rangers looked up and saw a seccond dragon. This one was red with golden eyes and a golden horn on it's head and looked much more aggressive than the last dragon.
"Okay . . . who has plans for this one?" said Olivia, gulping.
"I know this one! You have to cut off it's horn!" said Alex.
"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" said Zoe.
Callum shook his head. "I'm not sure. But we're definetaly going have to work as a team. Let's Ranger up!"
The teens pulled out their Energy Morphers and morphed up quickly. The dragon let out a roar and swooped down over them. The Energy Rangers ducked, only just avoiding his claws.
"We've got to find a way to get on top of his head so we can cut off his horn!" exlaimed Olivia.
"It's all about timing," said Callum calmly. He was waiting for the dragon to swoop down again.
The dragon was flying in circles, waiting for the moment to dive down at the Rangers again. It struck electricity from it's horn and the Rangers dived out of the way. The dragon then swooped down at them, about to make a grab for the nearest citizen when the Red Energy Ranger raced up and grabbed it's tail. The dragon roared and waved it's tail around but Callum held on tight and flipped over onto the dragon's back. The dragon roared again and flipped around but Callum clung onto the scaly skin like a spider and climbed up towards the dragon's head.
"Lightning Saber!"
The Red Energy Ranger struck at the dragon's horn but both the horn and Callum's weapon were made of electricity and the Lighting Saber didn't make a dent.
Seeing this, the Blue Energy Ranger ran up under the dragon and pulled out her Ice Blade sword. "Callum! Catch!" she called up and threw her sword upwards for Callum to grab. The dragon didn't stand a chance now and Callum successfully cut his horn off. This caused the dragon to screech in pain before it's golden eyes blackened, it stopped flying and crash-landed on the ground with Callum on top of it.
The other Rangers ran up to him.
"You okay?" asked Zoe.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he panted before turning to Alex. "That's the seccond dragon. But you said that you're stuck on the third one. What makes him so hard?"
"You have create something to blast into it's heart. But it takes you ages. A you can only make so much . . . whatever you have to make. I haven't completed that part yet," explained Alex.
"It doesn't matter about that," said Zoe. "Where can we find the dragon?"
As if on queue, a third dragon appeared out of nowhere. This one was a bronze colour with green eyes and a green area on it's chest.
'Me and my big mouth!' Zoe thought to herself.
"That looks like where we have to blast," said Callum, pointing at the green area on the dragon's chest.
"Well then what are we waiting for? LET'S CREATE THAT THINGY WE HAVE TO BLAST IT WITH!" yelled Zoe.
"I'm trying to think!" snapped Alex. But the only thing that he could think of was was- "Racket Blaster . . ."
"Any luck?" said Jason, rushing into the lab.
"I think so," said Dr. Sparks, peering at the computer screen closely. "This may sound ridiculous but your teammates are INSIDE the television. I have no idea how they got there. Some sort of negatively charged energy power?"
Jason cocked his head. "Now that I think of it . . . I'm pretty sure that that my video game was turned off when they disappeared."
He ran into the chill-out room, closely followed by Dr. Sparks and turned on the TV.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Jason exclaimed when he saw that his teammates had been trapped inside his own video game all along. He quickly poked the TV screen with his finger but the screen shocked his fingertip with electricity. "I bet I could get in there," he said "but the TV screen would only force me out."
"I thought so," said Dr. Sparks. "I have an idea. Follow me."
Jason followed the scientist into some sort of garage where there were five large shapes covered in blankets. Dr. Sparks whipped off one of the blankets and Jason's eyes opened wide in excitement when he saw what was in front of them.
"I knew you'd like it," Dr. Sparks smiled.
For once, Jason was speechless.
"What are you waiting for? It's time for you to join in the fun," the scientist grinned.
"Don't move, Livvy! Give me a chance to strike him!" yelled Alex.
The dragon had snatched the Pink Energy Ranger and was using her like a shield, squeezing her close to the green area on it's chest so the others couldn't strike it.
"ANY DAY NOW!" Olivia shrieked.
"I'm coming! Hock Hammer!"
The Yellow Energy Ranger ran up to the draggon and slammer the hammer on the dragon's foot. The dragon roared in pain and dropped Olivia who used her Energy Vault to land more softly.
"Okay, who else has got plans? Because our attacks are CLEARLY not working!" said Callum.
"Don't be so negative! I'm going in!" shouted Zoe, charging at the dragon, ignoring Callum's orders for her not to do this.
"Ice Blade!"
The Blue Energy Ranger attempted to slash the dragon with her sword but the Dragon opened it's mouth and shot a green beam out of it's mouth. The beam exploded in front of Zoe and she was sent flying backwards and crashing into a fruit stand.
"Okay . . ." she gasped as she climbed out. "Maybe he is too strong."
"Then what do we do? We're cornered!" said Olivia.
She was right. The Rangers were stuck between a wall the the monsterous dragon. The dragon snarled and opened it's mouth, ready to strike . . .
"Yep, this is definetaly all Jason's fault," Zoe muttered quietly.
Suddenly the dragon let out a roar of pain as something exploded from behind it. It bent over and the Rangers saw something gliding over it's back. It looked . . . the Green Energy Ranger? And he was riding a motorcycle!
"Jason!" beamed Olivia.
"Pefect timing," grinned Alex.
Callum nodded happily. "Good to see you."
Zoe said nothing but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cool motorcycle!" said Callum, walking up to admire the green vehicle. "Where did you get it?"
"Dr. Sparks has a stack of 'em in the garage," said Jason cooly.
"We all have motorcycles?" said Alex, an excited tone in his voice.
"Yup. Here they come now!" said Jason, pointing.
The Callum, Zoe, Olivia and Alex looked up and sure enough, there were four more motorcycles waiting for them behind the dragon, all of their colours.
"Awesome!" laughed Callum, jumping up on the red motorcycle.
"This is actually pretty cool," smiled Zoe, boarding the blue one.
"I could get used to performing stunts on this," said Olivia, sitting down in her pink motorcycle.
"Now let's beat this game!" cheered Alex, all ready to roll on his yellow motorcycle.
"Energy Cycles GO!" shouted Callum and immediately the five motorcycles began to drive forwards with the cheering Rangers on top of them. As the dragon came too and stood up, it saw the motorcycles racing around it. It roared aggressively and tried to grab the Rangers around it but the motorcycles were too speedy. The dragon spun around, trying to keep track of the motorcycles, making it dizzy.
"Energy Ring Strike!" the Rangers chanted and the energy from the motorcycles began to connect together, forming a large ring than spun around the dragon and began to rise up around the green area in it's chest. The Rangers shot beams from their motorbikes which exploded into the dragon and made it roar in pain and frustration.
"Racket Blaster!" Jason hollered and he struck the bullets into the green area in it's chest. The dragon let out a roar that shook the tiny town before it's eyes blackened and it collapsed and disappeared.
Meanwhile below it, the Rangers landed their motorcycles and jumped off.
"How did you know we were inside the game?" said Callum.
"Because I'm smart like that," smirked Jason.
Zoe snorted.
"I'm guessing that there should be another dragon coming soon?" said Alex.
Jason waited for a seccond before calmly saying "Yup. He should be here right about . . . now!"
The town was filled with the loudest roar ever and a gigantic golden dragon appeared out of nowhere. It's blue eyes glared over the town and drool poured from it's mouth.
"Ew!" squealed Olivia. "It's drooling all over the place!"
"It doesn't matter about that," said Callum. He turned to look at Jason. "How do we defeat this one?"
"You just have to keep attacking it till it's health level drops," said Jason, calmly.
"Alright," grinned Callum. "Let's see it try pick on someone it's own size!"
The Rangers all pulled out their Energy Morphers. "Zord Energy Unleash!"
The dragon cocked it's head in confusion as five different attackers approached it. Nevertheless, it let out a roar and swiped at the Zords with it's claws.
"Guys, this one looks really aggressive!" Olivia pointed out.
"Well then let's give it a taste of it's own medicine!" said Zoe. And with that, the Blade Skater glided towards the dragon and slashed at it with the blades around her arms. The dragon was taken aback by this attack but not much and it began to growl.
"I've got this," said Alex. The Fisticuff Knight stomped up to the growling dragon and punched it in the stomach, knocking it onto it's back and causing it to skid backwards. Again, it took the dragon by the surprise but not much and the attack agrovated it.
"Check this out!" said Olivia. The Tumble Glider leapt into the air and tumbled so much and so fast that she became almost like a giant pink ball and she smacked into the dragon's face. That affected it a good bit and it stumbled backwards.
"I'm gonna leave you in a spin!" said the Overspin Striker. He began to spin like a tornado and spun up to the dragon, striking it with his fists. The dragon screeched and tried to smack Jason away but he was too speedy.
"I'm going in!" said Callum. The Bullet Dasher began to speed back and forth, striking the dragon as he did so. By now the dragon was completely dazed but still standing strong.
"It's time for the big conclusion!" announced Jason.
His teammates nodded in agreement before they chanted in unison: "Sports Energy of the Zords, Unite!"
The dragon stared in horror as the Overspin Striker, the Fisticuff Knight, the Tumble Glider, the Blade Skater and the Bullet Dasher detatched certain body parts to form an even bigger warrior and the remaining parts of the Zords turned into the Rangers who all jumped inside the MegaZord and into their seats.
"Sports Energy MegaZord!"
"Let's try out these: Combat Boxers!" shouted Jason.
The MegaZord stretched out it's arms and a pair of giant boxing gloves appeared in it's hands. It stomped up to the dragon and began to form a series of speed punches at the now seemingly helpless dragon. It stumbled back again.
Suddenly the dragon roared and sank it's teeth into one of the MegeZord's hands and began to shake it back and forth, jerking the Rangers around violently in the cockpit.
"JASON! You never told us THIS would happen!" shrieked Zoe angrily.
"Well what would you expect? A game isn't a game without a twist!" the Green Energy Ranger replied.
"Then what do we do?" shouted Alex.
"I've got an idea," said Callum. "Wok Club!" And a giant golf club appeared in the MegaZord's free hand and it whacked the dragon's head, making the dragon let go. Next thing, a giant golf ball appeared in front of the MegaZord. The MegaZord whacked the ball with the Wok Club and it slammed into the dragon's mouth.
"Hole In One!" cheered Jason.
"Thanks," smiled Callum. "Now let's finish this game!"
"Mega Energy Blaster!" the Rangers chanted in unison and the giant laser gun appeared in the MegaZord's hands and the MegaZord aimed the blaster at the dragon.
"FIRE!" yelled Jason and the Energy Blaster charged up the five energy beams before firing them at the dragon. The dragon screeced as the beams pummelled into it's stomach. Sparks came shooting out of it and it stumbled backwards before finally letting out a moaning sound and collapsing where it disappeared into nothing.
"Game Over," grinned Jason.
Alex stared at him. "I thought there were five levels?"
"Guess again," the Green Energy Ranger smirked.
"I'm just glad it's over," Olivia sighed happily.
"Yeah, I'm relieved and all that but HOW TO WE GET BACK TO HQ?" yelled Zoe.
As if on queue, a blinding flash suddenly filled the Ranger's eyes and they appeared in Dr. Sparks' lab where the scientist was waiting for them.
"Power Down," the Rangers said in unison, demorphing.
"So do you know if it's safe to use technology again?" said Jason to Dr. Sparks.
"As a matter of fact, it is!" exclaimed the scientist, surprised but happy. "It seems that when you defeated the last dragon, you destroyed the negative energy! So now everyone can play video games happy and safe!"
"Everyone?" Callum had a mischievous grin on his face.
"You have failed me yet again," groaned Master Paine, obviously not surprised.
"I'm sorry," Ernestine whispered.
"Sorry is not good enough!" snapped Master Paine, sitting up. "For the last week you have been nothing but useless! You leave me no choice!"
Ernestine cringed. "You're not going to destroy me, are you?" she squeaked.
"No I'm not. I'm going to do something quite different," snarled Master Paine, an evil grin on his face . . .
"What are you doing?" Jason stared at Callum, Zoe, Olivia and Alex. Callum and Zoe were playing some sort of game while Olivia and Alex were cheering them on.
"We're playing Wii Sports Resort," said Callum, waving his Wii Remote around like a crazy person.
Jason's jaw dropped. "But I thought we were meant to be training?" he said to Zoe.
"Well we're not," said Zoe, her eyes glued to the screen. "I'm playing Alex afterwards."
"Really?" Callum smirked.
Zoe glared at him competitively. "Yeah! Because I'm so going to beat you!"
"Oh really?" Callum's smirk grew even wider. He thrust down his remote and Zoe's character toppled into the water.
Zoe's eyes widened in horror. "I wasn't ready!" she protested.
"Well I still win! Two rounds in a row! I'm playing Alex next!" beamed Callum.
Zoe glared at him. "I hate you, you know that?"
And then she swung her remote around, making it purposely smack Callum in the face. The red ranger stumbled backwards into the couch.
"That's enough video games for one day. I'm going training," said Zoe, thrusting the remote into Alex before storming out of the chill-out room.
The other Rangers smirked.
"Sore loser," laughed Jason.
