DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon and that includes any weapons you recognize. I only own the characters you don't recognize, the subplots, the monster, and its powers.
"We need Thunderzord Power now!"
"Drago-Tigerzord!"
"Raptor Thunderzord Power!"
"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord Power!"
"Pterodactyl-Firebird Thunderzord Power!"
"Drago Thunderzord Power!"
"Stega Thunderzord Power!"
"Brachio Thunderzord Power!"
"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"
"Saber-toothed Tiger-Griffin Thunderzord Power!"
"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!" As soon as the zords appeared, the Rangers jumped into the machines.
"Rangers, combine!" Immediately, they put in the command and the zords came together. Razorback roared and lashed out with a punch. The Rangers retaliated with a kick. With another roar, Razorback charged at them. Then, he opened his mouth and chomped on the zord's arm. Sparks flew as the Rangers struggled to free themselves from the hold.
"I've had enough of this creep!" the Red Ranger exclaimed, and with that, he had the zord unsheathe the Thunder saber. Razorback yelled in pained surprise as the zord shook him off and then slammed the sword on his snout. The monster yelled in pain. It charged at the Rangers. Electricity crackled from the Saber as the zord reared back an arm. Then, it struck. Razorback gave out a final roar before it fell to the ground and exploded.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rita shrieked. She growled. "I'VE GOT SUCH A HEADAAAAAAAAAACHE!" In his chambers, Zedd groaned. There's something wrong. I have been growing steadily weaker, and I must find out why, he thought to himself. His eyes shone with determination. He would find out what happening to him, and then put a stop to it. Several minutes later, the Rangers except for Rocky and their friends except for Bulk and Skull were gathered at two tables that had been pushed together.
"I'm glad we were able to stop that Razorback before it got a chance to do too much damage," Jason said quietly.
"Boy, I'll say," Aisha agreed. "It was really weird when I couldn't move," she continued with a slight shudder.
"I noticed you were pretty angry," Katherine commented, turning to Jason.
"Sorry if I scared you," Jason apologized sheepishly. Man, that's the last thing I wanted to. I've just never been good at being helpless, he thought.
"You didn't scare me," she assured.
"Oh, hey. That reminds me, what did that phrase mean?" Kimberly queried.
"Phrase?" Katherine echoed. What's she talking about? she wondered.
"You said that Jason was mad as a cut snake," Kimberly answered.
"Oh, it means he was very angry. I guess it just slipped out," Katherine answered. Just then, Rocky, Mr. Haley, and Alan ran up to them.
"Guess what? Alan doesn't have to quit the team!" Rocky said happily.
"Hey, that's awesome," Tommy said, slapping the boy five. "So, what happened?" he asked.
"I told Mr. Haley about my problems in school and he did the rest," Alan answered as Lt. Stone, Bulk, Skull, and Tyler entered the café.
"Problem? What problem?" Bulk asked.
"What's going on?" Skull added.
"I had a slight academic problem," Alan answered.
"Which sounded a lot like mine, so I took him to the school's resource center to be tested," Mr. Haley answered.
"Turns out I have dyslexia," Alan answered.
"What's that?" Skull asked.
"A learning disability in which numbers and letters get turned around, especially when the person is under stress," Billy explained.
"Well, the center said that a lot of people have it," Alan continued.
"I have it as well, which is how I recognized what Alan was talking about," Mr. Haley told them. "Unfortunately, it's not always recognized," he continued.
"But now that we know what's going on, Mr. Wilton said there are ways he can help me and my grades will improve," Alan added.
"All right," the others said. Then, Mr. Haley turned to the officers.
"Lt. Stone, I'd really like to thank you for sending such competent officers to guard me,"
"It was my pleasure," Lt. Stone answered.
"Uh, Mr. Haley, now that the assignment's over, would you mind giving us an autograph?" Bulk queried.
"Not at all," Mr. Haley answered, and the two officers each pulled out a piece of paper and handed them to the man.
"Wow. I guess the assignment went well," Katherine commented as Ernie came out to take orders from some of the customers.
"Yes. You can definitely say that," Tyler responded, turning to the girl. Whoa! She is hot! he thought to himself. "Hi. I'm Tyler," he introduced himself.
"Katherine," she stated, giving a polite smile.
"Nice to meet you, Katherine," he said, holding out his hand.
"Likewise," Katherine said, keeping up the polite smile as she took his hand and gave a polite shake. However, it soon became clear that Tyler wasn't going to release her hand any time soon. The smile became strained and Katherine quickly pulled her hand away.
"I'll be seeing you again soon," he stated and then walked away.
"Wow," Kimberly said with a short, disbelieving laugh. I haven't seen anyone be that forward since Skull stopped hitting on me, she thought to herself.
"He's a rather forward bloke, isn't he?" Katherine asked.
"I'll say," Rocky agreed.
"That's definitely going to get on my nerves," Katherine declared and everyone laughed.
