Trackstar Sentai AcceleRanger
Chapter 2
Trackstar Sentai: Start Up!
"So the Alien Force has teamed up with the Neodians, this can be very problematic. What do we know of them?" the Forever King asked.
"Sir, according to our sources the Neodians have been working on perfecting powerful weapons the likes of which we haven't seen." A Forever Knight said.
"I have heard of these devices from television broadcasts on Earth, I believe they were called Morphers." Albedo told them.
"You mean like Power Rangers?" Sir Morton said after that several of his men started to laugh.
"Tis a joke, everyone knows the Power Rangers don't exist!" Sir Morton said wiping a team from his eye.
"Even so we cannot risk underestimating them. If you what you say is true then we may be in very deep trouble." The Forever King said. Albedo snorted.
"You must be joking! You really expect they wield weapons from a logically vapid children's show?!" he spat.
"As I have said before, never underestimate the impossible." The Forever King advised.
Back on Neodai the General introduced the team to their zords, each of which resembled a certain Muscle Car. Before the team stood a red next generation 2010 Chevy Corvette. Beside it was a blue '00s Ford Mustang, after that was a green Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, followed by a black 70s Chevy Chevelle SS and finally a pink '05 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The headlights on the four racing zords shined brightly in the holding bay. The four teens stared in wonder at the magnificent machines.
"These are your Nitrozords. Advanced racing machines gleaned from your Earth vehicles. Each Zord has it's own special technique and mode of attack, when combined they will form the Nitro Rush Megazord. Capable of surviving the harshness of Space they are some of the fastest vehicles in the Galaxy." The General said.
"Their incredible!" said Ben.
"It's likely the Negative 10 may possess similar vehicles. That's why we're giving you the best our planet has to offer." The General told them.
"All right then let's move! The longer we stay here talking, the closer they are to finding the Omnitrix." Kevin said getting on board. The others nodded and made their way over to the star cruiser.
"Thanks for all your help." Ben said.
"Promise me that you'll stop them." the General said.
"We will, those guys won't know what hit them." he smiled.
The alien nodded as the hatch closed on the ship and started to take off. After strapping themselves in Kevin hit the throttle and launched the ship through the hanger at high speed. As they neared the exit, the space cruiser raced skyward and then went into warp drive once they were above planet Neodai. Thrown back into they're chairs the team hung on for dear life as the ship entered the warp gate.
"You think we're ready for this?" Gwen asked.
"We have to be." Replied Kevin.
"Initiating Warp Gate Launch!" he said taking over the manual controls.
The ship began to stretch as it entered the silver ring of alien technology shooting into the blue liquid-esk field; a subsonic boom was heard as they entered the gate. As they sailed through the wormhole the fluid-like matter swirled around the ship as they made their way through. Ben, Julie and Gwen stared out the windows in awe while Kevin remained focused on the job at hand. Even Julie's pet alien seemed impressed by the strange surroundings, as the little being pressed its face and 'paws' against the window.
"We're now exiting jump gate, prepare for reentry into tangible space." Kevin said.
The team felt a sudden jerk as the ship approached the opposing warp gate.
"What was that?" Gwen asked.
"Just some turbulence, it usually happens when going through a trans-dimensional field." he said calmly.
"You've done this before haven't you?" Ben yelled.
Kevin only smirked.
"There's a lot about me you don't know Tennyson." He answered.
"Look out!" Julie said pointing forward.
Kevin veered the ship sideways to avoid hitting another cruiser, missing it by just inches.
"We have just completed jump gate reemergence." Kevin said casually as though nothing ever happened.
"You almost hit that other space ship!" Ben yelled.
"Hey he wasn't watching where I was going." He shrugged. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"What's that space station we're coming up to?" she asked.
"Don't know, never really been in this part of the galaxy before." he said.
"We better check it out, maybe from there we can figure out where the Negative 10 are headed." said Ben.
"Your the boss." Kevin said as he directed the ship towards the satellite.
A few minutes later they touched down on the double ringed satellite known as Abarex-4. As they explored the space station they soon realized that there wasn't a soul around.
"What is this place?" Kevin asked.
"And where are all the people?" asked Ben.
The team walked down what appeared to be the food court of an alien-shopping district and saw one store after another seemed to be abandoned.
"What happened here?" whispered Gwen.
"I don't know but its giving me the creeps." Replied Julie.
As they explored the shopping center further, a lone figure watched them from the walkway above. The group made their way underneath the walkway as the figure silently turned and continued to watch them. Another one watched around the corner on the ground floor. Gwen felt increasingly uncomfortable as they made their way through the mall, and stopped dead in her tracks.
"What is it?" her cousin asked. The mysterious figure darted back behind the wall.
"I don't know, I thought I saw something." She told him.
"Something tells me we're not alone." Kevin said getting infront of Gwen.
At that moment a robed figured jumped off the walkway and attacked Julie grabbing her shoulders. Julie screamed and turned to see her attacker, without even thinking Ben jumped in and placed a kick to the figure's stomach knocking him back a step. The others got into defensive stance and formed a circle as more of them started to appear.
"Its an ambush!" Kevin yelled.
"Spread out!" yelled Ben.
The Alien Force soon scattered as the room filled with more and more robed figures. Ben was about ready to use his Omnitrix only to remember that he had his morpher instead. One of the robed figures kicked Ben in the chest while he was distracted knocking him to the floor. Meanwhile Kevin got next to a concrete pillar and absorbed its properties and punched a guy in the face, before elbowing a second guy with his opposing arm; and kicking a third guy in the chest all of whom went down fairly easily.
On the far side Gwen did a series of backflips to get away from her aggressors, coming out of the flip she fired a series of energy at the men and struck them down. Another guy grabbed her from behind. The Anadite struggled and thrust her heel into the man's crotch. Once free she delivered a roundhouse kick to his face. More guys rushed her, Gwen hurled herself in the air and fired off more energy beams at the crew.
Julie did a back flip as one guy came at her. Instinctively Julie grabbed him by the shirt and wrist and threw him over her shoulder. The robed figure landed with a thud against a pillar on his head. Another one grabbed her from behind and linked her wrists behind her back.
"Julie!" Ben yelled as he fought off several guys.
Julie threw her weight around spinning to her side and drove her foot into the guy's hipbone breaking free. The blow was great enough to propel herself away from the man and skidded backwards on the soles of her sneakers. Julie was in a defensive position with her body low to the ground. Ben slipped his hand free and punched a guy in the face revealing the creature to have a grotesque black and yellow striped head with dark featureless eyes. Kevin elbowed another guy in the nose, and drove his foot into another one's face. Grabbing a wastebasket behind him Kevin threw it at the guy infront of him and went into a roundhouse kick nailing the basket and throwing the creature to the ground.
"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Kevin asked.
One of the cloaked menaces launched himself over the heads of his comrades and dropkicked Kevin in the chest. The teen hit with a thud against the pillar as another one pulled a laser on him and blasted the young boy in the chest. Kevin groaned as his cement form shattered while another dive kicked him in the side of the head.
"Kevin!" Gwen yelled and hurled an energy whip at the group tearing them away from him.
"Ben?" Julie asked.
"Definitely, let's see what these babies can do…anyone know the morphing call?" he asked.
"Just make something up!" she told him dodging a punch. She whirled around and kicked the creature in the jaw knocking him back.
"Right." he said.
"Trackstar Start Up!" he yelled pressing a button but nothing happened.
"Well that's not good. Must have said it wrong." He said.
"What about these things sticking out of the morphers?" she asked pointing to the black tab on the bottom.
"Its worth a shot." He said taking it out of the morpher.
"It looks like a Bluetooth." He said as another guy rushed towards him.
"Put it in!" she yelled.
The cloaked fiend came at him with a flying kick. Ben dodged the creature at the last minute and placed the Bluetooth in his ear at that exact same moment the morpher and Bluetooth synchronized with a responsive beep as both devices flashed.
Ben pulled back his fist while shielding it with his open right hand and turned his back inward.
"Trackstar Accelerate!" he yelled pushing his fist out, his fingers brushed the wheel at the top of the morpher as it went past. Pressing a button on the bottom left corner of the morpher the wheel started to turn and produced green streams of light that swirled around it. The headset lit up and created a green energy visor shielding Ben's eyes as an orange energy platform shot past him with a green background. The visor ran various schematics as beams of light raced through the morpher's circuitry. Ben pointed the morpher forward as his visor fired a holographic image of his Ranger form with its back turned to him. The image shattered as emerald rays of light raced towards him and enveloped him in his Ranger suit. The energy visor then expanded and formed the basis of his helmet transforming him into the Green Trackstar Ranger.
The attackers recoiled in fear, as he stood infront of them, all at once they ceased their attacks on the others as Kevin, Gwen and Julie each looked up at the neophyte Ranger as he got into a fighting stance. Ben's uniform was a medium shade of green and had sort of a bright tint to it. The upper half of his uniform was white around the pecs and had a thin black outline of his chest, with a gold belt-like sash that wrapped around the left side of his body like a seatbelt and was attached to his gold multi-purpose belt. The gloves and boots were white with gold bands accenting the tips. On his right bicep was an elongated diamond lying on its side with a checkered flag waving in the midst of the logo. His left patch sported an upward triangle with a stylized #3 in the bracket. His helmet resembled an eagle with crystal clear headlamps replacing the eyes, a gold beak projected over the triangular shaped visor.
"Not so tough now are you?" he asked as his headlamps flared.
"Care to join me guys?" he asked his team. Kevin and Gwen smiled as they got to their feet and went to join Ben and Julie.
"Hold the trolley for a minute." A figure said stepping out from behind the other beings.
This one seemed similar to the other hooded monsters. The exception being that he had what appeared to be a devil's tail that spiraled upwards around his head and seemed to be the one in charge of the group.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Kevin asked.
"The name's Drayzar. And you are trespassing on our property." He said as he patted the flat side of a sword in the palm of his hand.
"We thought this place was abandoned until these guys came along." Ben said being the diplomatic one of the group.
"So you decide that putting on a fancy costume will even the score." Drayzar said making his way to the front of the group.
"To be fair we didn't want to escalate, but your men attacked us first we had to defend ourselves." Ben said.
"Oh really and who might I ask is behind that freakish costume?" he said pointing his sword at Ben.
"Your one to talk." quipped Kevin.
"Kevin." Gwen scorned pushing her back against him.
"Your Earthlings aren't you?" Drayzar cocked his head at the pair.
"Yes, I recognize the way you carry yourself. Humans always have been so sure of their talents." He said disgusted.
"Well I've got plenty of It." he said.
"Your not helping." Gwen told him.
"What? I'm just calling his bluff." He shrugged.
"Listen, Drayzar we came here because we thought someone might help us in locating something." Ben said still in costume.
"What sort of something?" Drayzar said raising an eyebrow.
"Well, that's sort of a secret but…"
"If your not willing to tell us what you are searching for, then I don't see the point in you being here." He said sharply and pointed his sword at him for the second time.
"Please let's not resort to anymore fighting if we can help it." Ben said removing his helmet.
"We're looking for an important item and we're trying to beat a rival group called the Negative 10 to it. It's…an Omnitrix." He said regretfully.
"The Omnitrix?" he asked.
"It's a device that allows me to turn into 10 aliens we need to retrieve it before the Negative 10 can use it for evil." he told him.
Drayzar placed his finger and thumb around his chin while holding the dagger and thought about their predicament.
"I am afraid I don't know anything about this Omnitrix or where its whereabouts might be. I am sorry." He said to him respectfully.
"Its all right we'll find it on our own. Come on guys." he said.
"Very well, I wish you luck on your mission." Drayzar told them. Gwen and Kevin gave the monsters discerning looks as they followed Ben out. As soon as they were out of earshot Drayzar whispered to a nearby creature.
"Druxzor alert the Negative 10 about this development. Tell them they have the Ranger powers." He instructed.
"Yes General." Druxzor bowed and quickly exited.
"I don't like the way he sent us off. He let us go too easy." Kevin said as they walked through the space station.
"Although I hate to say it. Kevin's right, something about this doesn't feel right." said Gwen.
"Ben?" Julie asked.
"I know but for now we'll just have to take him at his word. Who knows we may even get out of this in one piece." Ben smirked.
As they rounded the corner their suspicions would soon be answered.
"Oh yeah no trouble at all." Kevin said as a group of creatures stood between them and the ship.
"It's a good thing I stayed in costume." Ben said as an even larger creature with yellow and red folds of what appeared to be an exoskeleton and large claws walked into view.
"Then let's bust these puppies out. Ready?" Kevin yelled.
"Ready!" the girls yelled as all three of them took out their Bluetooths and placed them in their ear.
"Trackstar Accelerate!" they yelled.
The wheels on their morphers spun shooting out streams of colors. Blue, Pink and Violet energy visors shot out of their Bluetooths and ran schematics while rays of light shot through the morphers. The visors then projected holograms of their Ranger forms and brought them to them converting them into Ranger mode. The visors then enveloped their heads creating their helmets completing the transformation.
Blue, Pink and Black Power Rangers stood before the monster with Ben standing next to them as the Green Ranger. Gwen wore a light to medium Blue Ranger outfit with a skirt extension and had markings similar to Ben's costume, with a gold trim around the bottom of her skirt. Her helmet resembled a mountain lion and had gold headlights for eyes with a #2 on her left arm and the Trackstar logo on her right. Kevin wore a Black Ranger costume with a wolf shaped helmet and had crystal clear slanted headlamps for eyes along with a V shaped visor and wore a #4 on his left arm. While Julie wore a Pink Ranger outfit with trimmings similar to Gwen's and wore a bear shaped helmet.
"All right now this is more like it. Gwen your Blue?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah I guess I am." she said looking at her arm and then the rest of her costume.
"I'm Pink, I'm not sure if I should be suprised or not." Julie said.
"At least they put me in a decent color." said Kevin.
"Guys in case your forgetting we got more pressing matters to deal with." reminded Ben as the monster came towards them.
"Oh right." Kevin said as they got into fighting stance.
"Let's see what this bad boy's got." he said as the monster shot laser blasts from its claws.
The team ducked at the last second as the scarlet laser beams flew over head and struck a wall behind them.
"Whoa! Okay that was descent. Now its my turn!" Kevin said.
The Black Ranger hurled himself in the air and tackled the monster with a roll and toss. The alien crustasian rolled across the ground and got up as Kevin approached the monster and produced a sword from his belt.
"Formula Saber!" he said drawing a long sleek blade and pointing it towards him.
The monster growled and gurled in an alien dialect and rushed him.
Kevin slashed at the monster's chest in two quick sweeps and jumped aside. But the alien surpised him and launched it tounge at Kevin's wrist electrifying the Black Ranger. Sparks flew from his chest and body as the current ran through him and thew him on his back. The monster withdrew its tounge and made its way over to him as a weakened Kevin pointed his blade at the space demon.
"Hey ugly!" Gwen yelled as she launched herself in the air and fired off laser blasts from a bow-like weapon.
The monster staggered back but wasnt enough to stun it as she landed next to Kevin. Ben and Gwen soon rushed over to his side as well and defended him.
"You think that will stop me?" the monster growled.
"Maybe this will. AcceleAxe!" Ben yelled pulling out a green fireman's axe and hurled himself at the monster slashing him back and forth across the chest.
"And how about these? Turbo Tonfas!" Julie cried pulling out a pair of metal billyclubs.
The monster's claws glowed and sent out energy blades at Ben and Julie. The first one got Ben across the chest. Julie leaped over the second one and fired energy blasts out the end of her clubs. The monster staggered back as Julie landed beside Ben to see he was alright. By that time Kevin and Gwen had rejoined the battle as the monster began replicating.
"Well that's not good." said Kevin.
Author's Note: Ugh, yeah I know I hate to leave you guys on a cliffhanger. But I've been beating my brains out trying to come up with something good. I didnt intend for this chapter to stretch out this far. But oh well. At least we got some of the basics out of the way and you now know what the Rangers outfits are like and such. Hope you liked it. Let me know what you think.
Please review,
Green Gallant.
