Guardians and Rangers.
Chapter 3
Feel the Storm.
A few days later.
"Those Lurdens ain't all that powerful, now Cogs and Piranhatrons they were strong." Justin spoke sitting on Jericho's bed.
"I'll have to take your word on that one, but I do agree that the Lurdens aren't that good but in numbers they dangerous." Jericho stated leaning back in his desk chair.
"Those girls or as we now no them The Guardians should be back to full power with in the next day or so." The dark haired teen said watching as Jericho was looking over his morpher for damage. "So should we tell them then or wait?"
"We'll tell them soon the next battle should be good." The light brown haired teen responded. "Or did Adam say we should wait till after we meet with him?"
"He said to go at our own discretion with that, but we should also beware of telling them at the same time as their enemy does not know who we are but knows their identities." Justin responded getting up as did Jericho.
"What about the help from Operation Overdrive?" Jericho inquired as they went out to Storm Blaster.
"Andrew Hartford will be sending Rose Ortiz and Tyzonn the Pink and Mercury Overdrive rangers to help us set up." Justin explained getting in his jeep.
"Meeting more rangers wonder what I can learn from them?" Jericho speculated as they left for the beach.
"Probably a lot seeing as Mr. Hartford is able to check up on the Universal Morphing Grid as well as some of the most powerful technology to date considering his sizable Zord fleet." Justin smirked at the gaping look on Jericho's face.
"Fleet as in more than one per ranger?" Jericho gasped.
"Yep, I think he has a land fleet, a sea fleet, the rescue runners for the Mercury ranger and I think ten or more that form up his multiple megazords." Justin stated listing the number of Zords he was told about during his meeting with Overdrive.
"Damn, you think he can help me reactivate the Dragon Zord?" Jericho asked as the drive continued.
"Probably but do you know how to use the Dragon Dagger to Summon it?" Justin inquired as they reached the park.
"When I morph I do. Why?" Jericho spoke as they parked and got their training equipment.
"So he can analyze the sound pattern and send the other rangers out with it to try and locate the Zord." Justin stated as they stopped in the middle of the beach near a cave.
"Ok got cha." Jericho grinned taking his stance as they both bowed.
With the Guardians.
"How are you girls feeling today?" The Oracle inquired as he met with the Guardians.
"Better now that we have been able to rest, but how did The blue and Green rangers know to go to those battle's?" Will asked as they were in guardian form sitting in their usual meeting room.
"That would be me." Yan Lin smiled joining the others.
"But how did you?" Hay Lin inquired sitting for once.
"A telepathic message with the location and enemy." The elder Lin spoke with a smile.
"I wish they would stay long enough for us to thank them though." Irma stated looking at Yan Lin.
"I wouldn't worry about that." The Oracle spoke as the girls turned towards him. "They know and they are getting extra help from more rangers to be more effective in protecting heather field, but I have a question I wanted to ask you if you girls would mind if we asked them to assist in defending the infinite dimensions?"
"I wouldn't any extra help would be welcomed." The earth guardian spoke
"I agree, with this new threat attacking both Meridian and Earth we need it." Taranee added.
"No complaints here." Irma smiled with a slight blush.
"How do you think they will react to finding out about Meridian?" Will asked grinning.
"Well grand daughter anything to say." Yan Lin inquired smiling at the furiously blushing Air guardian.
"N…n…no, we really need the help." Hay Lin got out turning redder.
"She's just nervous about meeting her unofficial boyfriend." Irma laughed.
"So you wanna get next to the Turbo Ranger as he is your unofficial boy toy." Cornelia smirked as it was Irma's turn to go red.
"Well then Guardians when they reveal their Identities to you we will ask them." The Oracle smiled as they got ready to leave.
"Thank you Oracle, I think by tomorrow we should be back to full strength." Will stated creating a fold to Shell Beach.
"Yes Orube the new keeper of the Aurameres said they were beginning to look normal again." The Oracle stated as the girls left.
Back at the Beach.
"Come on Justin your getting slow." Jericho taunted slightly winded.
"Lay off man not all of us are stamina freaks." Justin laughed breathing hard.
"Wanna call it a day then?" The light haired teen grinned extending his hand.
"Yeah burning ourselves out isn't smart not with this threat to earth." Justine laughed grabbing his hand.
"Hey isn't that the Guardians?" Jericho whispered as they saw they five girls walking out of the cave.
"Yep looks like they might have been meeting with who ever gave them their powers." Justin speculated.
"Could be." Jericho responded as they began to gather their equipment.
The Girls.
"Looks like the new guys enjoy working out." Taranee spoke as the had watched a little of their training.
"I know their both faster than I thought." Will stated awed at their training.
"And it seems they both study the same fighting style." Cornelia pointed out as they started to leave as the guys had finished and were packing up their gear.
"Hey didn't their stances seem familiar?" Hay Lin inquired.
"A little why you hoping one of them is the green ranger." Irma laughed at the red faced girl.
"Not now Irma, the way they fought looked just like the rangers." Hay Lin stated.
"They might know the same fighting style as the rangers because I think I have seen it used by others to, it looks like Kempo Karate." Taranee spoke as they continued walking down the beach.
"Well there is a school for that style not far from here so they might have joined." Irma stated.
"I doubt that their new to it, the way they move is seasoned and Hay Lin makes a good point we should keep an eye on them." Will said getting a nod of agreement from the others.
Later that day.
"Well so far it has been quite no more mental warnings about attacks." Jericho stated as they sat on the porch.
"That means that who ever is attacking them and us is biding their time the next attack could be bigger." Justin responded as a van pulled up.
"I though Overdrive wouldn't be here till tomorrow." Jericho inquired as a blonde woman got out and approached them.
"I'm looking for a Justin Stewart and Jericho Oliver. Know where I can find them?" The woman inquired.
"That depends on who's asking." Jericho spoke moving his hand to where the morpher was placed on the back of his waist. Under his long over shirt.
"Sorry, I'm Tori Hanson I have worked with Overdrive before and was asked to come before Rose and Tyzonn." The now named woman spoke.
"So you must be the Blue Wind Storm Ranger." Justin stated cautiously.
"Well that depends are you Justin and Jericho?" Tori inquired with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm Jericho, Green Dragon Ranger." Smiled the teen.
"I'm Justin, Blue Turbo Ranger." The dark haired teen spoke extending his as she took it.
"Then yes I'm the Blue Wind Ranger." Tori finished as they all went in.
"So why did you come, if I may ask? Jericho inquired.
"Sure, Adam asked me to drop by seeing as I am opening a Surf Shop here in Heather Field." Tori smiled.
"Well I think I know at least one person who will regular the place." Justin laughed.
"OH yeah Peter Cook man I think all he talked about at lunch was surfing." Jericho chuckled.
"What you two don't surf?" Tori inquired.
"Never tried it, but I might just have to give it a go." Jericho smirked.
"It's a rush." Tori laughed sitting around the kitchen table.
"Might as well could be good to take a break from training every day to train and surf." Justin grinned.
"All right stop by when it opens, but on to business." Tori spoke turning serious.
"Yeah what do you want to know?" Jericho spoke reverting to an expressionless look as did Justin.
"What do you know about the enemy, would be a good place to start." She said resting her forearms on the table.
"All right, so far we have engaged to different high power creatures that claim to be Generals for their new master their names are Frost and Tracker." Justin stated giving descriptions of both as Tori wrote it down.
"What about their leader?" She inquired.
"No clue they never give a name and he hasn't shown up yet." Jericho responded leaning back in his chair crossing his arms.
"Crap, who ever it is might be dangerous or is just a small fry with a lot of power." Tori speculated. "Anything else?"
"They have grunt troops called Lurdens." Jericho spoke giving their description. "Their not very strong but they seem to have an unlimited number of them."
"Any idea's about what they want?" Tori asked looking between the two.
"Well they have targeted five girls here on Heather Field." Justin stated.
"I see any idea why?"
"I think so, their not normal girls, they have magic powers." Jericho spoke telling Tori about the Guardians.
"I think contacting Xander might be a good idea about Magic." Tori said closing her note pad.
"Let me guess he's a ranger too." Jericho smirked.
"Yep, Green Mystic Ranger." Tori smiled. "we teamed up with him, Adam, Kira the Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger and a ranger from the future Bridge The Red SPD Ranger." She said telling them about the team up with Overdrive.
"That sounded like a hard fought battle." Justin spoke in shock at the shear number of rangers that were still active.
"Wow the ranger from the future sounds a little odd." Jericho stated watching for a reaction.
"Yeah he kinda was but he was also a great fighter." Tori stated. "Had a strange love of buttered toast as he always moved his fingers at his mouth and asked if it was buttery or offer you some and said it the same way." Tori laughed.
"Jeez that does sound strange, but I guess we all have our quirks." Justin laughed.
"Probably but I think we tend to keep our a little less obvious." Jericho joined in as a mental message arrived. "Great looks like were needed again a new General showed up with some new grunts." Jericho growled.
"Where at?" Justin inquired as they all went to Storm Blaster.
"The beach." Jericho stated climbing in after Tori.
"Well looks like I get to ranger up today." Tori spoke as Justin headed back to the beach.
The Beach.
"What are these things." Will shouted at the strange grey creatures that bounded around erratically.
"These Guardians are my masters soldiers Putties." Cedric laughed as Hay Lin hit the ground with a thud.
"Hay Hay are you ok." Irma shouted landing beside her friend.
"Why aren't the rangers here." Cornelia shouted landing also. "EARTH!!" she shouted sending a wall of stone at the Putties. Knocking them down but not stopping them.
"What does it take to bring these things down, FIRE!" Taranee shouted sending a swarm of fireballs at them knocking them back but they got back up.
"I don't think their coming." Will spoke helping Hay Lin back up.
"They will come." Hay Lin gasped holding her side.
"No they won't little guardian, they have abandoned you." Cedric laughed.
"Why would you say that." Jericho smirked kicking one of the Putties in the Z on it's chest destroying it.
"Jericho?! Why are you here." Hay Lin gasped.
"Was walking by when I saw the fight and thought I would help." Jericho laughed ducking a swing by a putty and slugging it in in the chest taking it out as Justin and Tori took a few out as well. "Am for the Z on their chest it will destroy them." Jericho shouted charging into the fight.
"You heard him girls lets take'em." Will grinned blasting five of them.
"Wow Jericho and Justin are taking it to those creeps." Irma laughed blasting a few with a torrent of water.
"Hiya!!" Tori grunted split kicking two in the chest. "Don't mess with this ninja girl." She smirked.
"EARTH!!!" Cornelia smiled using vines from the ground like whips taking out over half of the remaining Putties. "Wow knowing their weakness makes them really easy to take down.
"AIR!!!. Hay Lin shouted taking the rest of the Putties out with a vortex of winds. "How did those three know how to take these creatures down and why are they here?" Hay Lin thought regrouping with her friends and Jericho and his friends.
"Thanks for the help but you should leave the rest to us." Will smiled walking up to Jericho.
"Like I would let those interlopers get away." Cedric snarled.
"I thought you would be smart to leave when we beat your little friends." Tori smirked.
"Come on lets take this to the next level." Justin grinned.
"Well no time like the present." Jericho spoke reaching for his Morpher. "IT'S MORPHING TIME!!"
"SHIFT INTO TURBO!!"
"NINJA STORM RANGER FORM!!!" As a swirl of water surrounded her revealing her in her ranger suit.
"DRAGON ZORD!!!" Jericho shouted as the green lightning surrounded him before revealing him as the Green Ranger.
"MOUNTAIN BLASTER TURBO POWER!!" Justin bellowed as he suit formed up.
"POWER RANGERS!" Jericho shouted.
"TURBO!!" Justin shouted as well.
"NINJA STORM!!" Tori joined in.
"There the Power Rangers." Hay Lin gasped and Blushed at the same time.
"Ready you two." Tori shouted. "Ninja Sword."
"Yep." Justin said. "Turbo Sword."
"Always." Jericho responded. "Dragon Dagger."
"So you're the power rangers that Frost and Tracker lost to, but don't now mistake me for those bumbling idiots I am the master most powerful General." Cedric laughed.
"And your point?" Justin stated getting a firm grip on his sword.
"My point is that you can't not win here." The snake man snarled.
"I think your delusional, we have you out number eight to one" Justin laughed. "TURBO SLASH!!" the turbo ranger shouted slashing Cedric across the chest
"Hey you use water right?" Tori asked looking at Irma.
"Yeah, why." The Water guardian asked.
"Easy, my main ninja element is Water now come on and lets teach this monster how the we do it. Water Style! WATER BLAST!!" Tori shouted
"WATER!!" Irma joined in hitting Cedric with a double blast of Water.
"All right Jericho light it up." Tori shouted.
"Will lets give him a taste of lightning." Jericho chuckled. "DRAGON THUNDER BLAST!!"
"QUINTESSENCE!!" The red head shouted as Cedric was blasted back into a heap on the ground.
"Let's finish this." Justin shouted as he and Jericho charged only to be blasted back towards the guardians.
"What tha..?" Jericho growled as a man that looked like ha had no skin and had silver plates of armor on his chest arms legs and head with a metal grating over his mouth appeared. (AN: Think lord Zedd from the power rangers.)
"Puny rangers you and the guardians will bow before me." the man bellowed.
"So you must be their master." Tori spoke still holding her ninja sword.
"I am Lord Dread, master of darkness and all that is vile." The now named Dread spoke. (AN: Corny I know.)
"Why are you after us." Will asked still standing next to The Ninja Ranger.
"Why , because you hold one of the most powerful magical artifacts in existence and when I have it I will rule all." Dread Laughed manically.
"Not as long as were able to fight you won't!" Jericho growled getting up to his feet.
"Got that right." Justin stated standing as well.
"We shall see little rangers we shall see." Dread continued laughing as he teleported Cedric and himself away.
"Is every one alright?" Hay Lin inquired as they all stood on opposite sides as the guardians all confirmed their state.
"I'm good what about you Justin." Tori said turning to her left.
"Fine just a little irked about this turn of events. What about you Jer." Justin spoke looking to his left but not getting a response. "Jer you alright?" Justin inquired a little worried.
"Huh yeah fine." Jericho mumbled. "I think I have read a description of that guy in my ancestors journal." Jericho stated turning to his friend and teammate.
"Really then you think their might be some info on his weakness or strength?" Justin spoke.
"Maybe but we need to go." Jericho stated turning to leave.
"Jericho wait!" Hay Lin shouted running up to him. "Is that it, no explanation to why you didn't tell us sooner?"
"Sorry but right now but right now we need to get this info to the other rangers we know so they can be on alert for him." Jericho spoke. "But I will tell you later promise." Jericho finished bring his hand to her cheek eliciting a blush from the Asian girl.
"Come on man we need to go you can kiss your girlfriend later." Justin laughed running off with a angry green ranger after him.
"Well Hay Hay looks like you now know who he is and that he does still like you." Cornelia smiled.
"Yeah, I told you their styles were the same." Hay Lin smiled.
"What do you think finding out Justin is the Turbo ranger?" Will grinned.
"Well his definitely good looking and smart." Irma blushed.
"I wonder how many rangers there are, they said the other rangers right." Taranee inquired.
"Yeah he did, he might mean the Overdrive Rangers as they have been on the news a lot." Will stated as they returned to their normal look.
"Hey we forgot that we need to ask them to come with us to see the Oracle." Hay Lin stated looking down.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will help us." Cornelia spoke putting her arm around her friend.
"Cornelia's right Hay Lin don't worry." Will smiled as they went home.
Jericho's house.
"Well we now have a name to go with that report for Mr. Hartford." Jericho sighed sitting at the table again.
"Man that guy was powerful." Justin spoke rubbing his chest where he was hit.
"I informed Cam and he is sending it over to Overdrive now." Tori stated walking back in.
"Good tomorrow we head to Angel Grove to see Adam and let Alpha check the dragon morpher and coin out." Justin spoke getting up. "See ya then man." he finished walking out.
"I need to get back to my new shop and see how things are progressing." Tori smiled leaving as well.
"See ya." Jericho said as they both left.
"Who ever you are Dread I won't let you hurt Hay Lin." Jericho growled walking to his room.
AN: Well didn't think I would have a new chapter done this fast. Thanks to XV-Dragon for the review and next time on guardians and rangers the Black ranger is back. Peace Out.
