Guardians And Rangers
Chapter 4
Always A Ranger.
"Hey Justin, I read about the creature we saw yesterday." Jericho spoke as they were on the road to Angel Grove.
"Was their anything useful?" His friend inquired as they went down the road in the early morning.
"Yeah the one I read about isn't the same one as the one we faced." The teen stated leaning back a little.
"So who was the one in the book?" the perplexed driver asked.
"He was called Lord Zedd, and seeing as they look so much a like I would venture a guess that their related some how." The passenger went on.
"So anything you had in the journal will more than likely not be useable against this one?" Justin questioned.
"I wouldn't say that I haven't read the entire thing so their may be more later on, but I won't rely on it either. We've felt his power first hand already this guy is the one in charge." Jericho growled thinking back to the battle.
"Smart move, Adam can contact Billy on Aquitar to see if they have heard anything about this Lord Dread." Justin said as they arrived at the city limits of Angel Grove. "Even thought it hasn't been all that long ago I have still missed this place." Justin smiled heading on to Adam's Dojo.
"I know might have to stop of at The Juice Bar before we head home." Jericho grinned.
"Muscle head." Justin snorted.
"Book worm." Jericho laughed as they continued on.
Adam's Dojo.
"Justin, Jericho it's good to see ya guys." Adam smiled letting his two former pupils in.
"Same here Sensei." Jericho grinned as they sat in his living room.
"Ay, yi, yi, yi Justin, Jericho how ya been." A humanoid sized robot asked walking into the room.
"Alpha six." Justin laughed getting up and hugging the robot.
"Good to see you too." The robot spoke in a friendly voice. "Well Jericho may I see the Morpher?"
"Sure." Jericho responded retrieving it from behind him. "Here." He smiled handing it over.
"This might take awhile but just from the outer look I doubt it has been damaged." Alpha stated before leaving.
"So how's life in Heather Field?" Adam inquired.
"Was normal." Jericho spoke as he and Justin laughed slightly.
"I see but such is the life of a Ranger." Adam stated looking as the two got serious again. "Anything new to report?" The older ranger inquired.
"We now know the name of their leader." Justin spoke as Adam looked interested.
"That's good." Adam stated.
"Kind of, but what ever he is, he's strong." Jericho spoke leaning back and closing his eye's. "Called him self Lord Dread. Think he might be related you're your old adversary Lord Zedd.?" Jericho finished looking back at his teacher.
"Could be, what did he look like?" Adam asked as Jericho and Justin began to give the details of the fight new general and Dread him self.
"From what you said he looked like he has to be related to Zedd and I'll take the suggestion of Contacting Billy to see if the Aquitar rangers have heard of him." Adam sighed not liking the news. "How are those girls doing in now that they have had time to rest?
"Better their actually quite strong." Justin said telling about the last fight they had.
"That's good to know I got a call for Overdrive there going to be delayed one day." Adam said as Alpha returned.
"Well Jericho the Morpher and coin are in great shape no damage." Alpha stated handing it back to him.
"Thanks Alpha." Jericho smiled placing the morpher back in it's place.
"No problem Green ranger." Alpha spoke returning to his duties.
"So Adam what happened another monster attack for Overdrive?" Justin inquired.
"Yeah, that and they have new information on a jewel." Adam said as their was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"
"Come on Adam open up." Said the familiar male voice as the door was opened.
"Jason good to see you." Adam laughed shaking his friends hand. "What do I owe the pleasure?" He asked as they walked in.
"This." Jason stated handing Adam his old morpher which was now brand new looking and the coin was in tact.
"So the Sentinel Knight restored your power too?" Adam asked in shock.
"Yeah said something about needing as many rangers as possible to fight a new threat." Jason stated as he walked in to find Jericho and Justin. "Long time guys." Jason smiled hi fiving them both.
"You too." Justin laughed.
"Jason good to have you back." The robot spoke walking in.
"Good to be back alpha." Jason chuckled sitting down with the others. "Hey is it alright for Jericho to know were rangers?" He whispered to his friend.
"Yeah he is the Green Ranger after all." Adam smirked looking at the dumb founded Jason.
"How I thought the powers of the green ranger were lost forever?" Jason gasped looking at the grinning Jericho.
"Only to Tommy it seems any one else could use the coin to is full power." Adam stated as they began the explanation of the recent events.
"I see so their attacks so far are centered on these five girls called the Guardians in Heather Field and the one leading them is possibly lord Zedd's brother who also freed some of the Guardians former enemies to serve him." Jason stated as the others nodded. "Well then after Alpha finishes my Morpher tests I think I'll hang around Heather Field for awhile to provide back up for you two." Jason stated as the robot confirmed his powers were restored.
"Before you go I added a weapon for Jericho to use in battle it may only be a copy of the Red rangers power sword in green but it is still just as strong." Alpha stated.
"Alpha keep an eye on the place I should be back in two days." Adam stated grabbing a bag as the four of them went to the Storm Blaster.
"This is way past cool." Jericho smirked as they were on the road back to Heather Field.
The Girls.
"I haven't seen them any where?" Irma spoke jogging up to the meeting place they agreed on as the others arrived.
"Their not at the beach." Taranee stated.
"Or The New Surf Shop." Hay Lin added.
"Where could they be?" Cornelia huffed leaning against the wall they were near.
"Does any one know where they live?" Will asked looking at her friends.
"No but we could always ask Martin he can find out for us." Irma smirked.
"My brother might know seeing as he is friends with them both." Taranee said as she received a mental message. "Great Frost and Tracker are here with more of the putties." Taranee sighed as she gave the location.
"Great lets go were back to full strength we need to be able to fight with out relying on the rangers." Will sighed pulling out the Heart. "GUARDIANS UNITE!" The red head shouted as they took off for battle.
Back with the Guys.
"Welcome to Heather Field." Justin smiled glad to be home.
"Nice place here." Jason spoke taking a deep breath.
"I know I might have to come here more often to train." Adam smirked as Jericho held his head. "What's wrong?" Adam spoke worried about his friend.
"Battle time guys." Jericho growled.
"Where to?" Justin inquired slowing down a little as Jericho gave directions.
The battle.
"WATER!!!" the brunette shouted firing thin streams of compressed water taking out putty after putty. "There's no end to them!"
"FIRE!" Taranee growled sending a swarm of fireballs out at the putties taking half a dozen down. "It seems the more we destroy the more that come back." the fire guardian spoke catching her breath.
"I'll take care of them. EARTH!" Cornelia howled as she summoned vines, boulders, and other earthly projectiles taking out over half of them again.
"We can do this. QUINTESSENCE!!" The red head shouted raining lighting bolts down from the Sky taking more of them out.
"You little sluts can try all you want but Lord Dread will simple send more." Frost smirked darkly at the girls as more putties arrived.
"Frost is right, guardians surrender the heart and we may spare you." Tracker stated in his snake like voice.
"Forget it creeps!" Hay Lin shouted after taking down more putties.
"Then we will take it and you will be my personal playthings." Frost grinned manically a he got up and approached them.
"Keep your hands of Hay Lin." came the angry growl of some one familiar as he flipped over them and was in front of Hay Lin eye's narrowed at frost.
"Jericho?" Hay Lin gasped.
"The one and only." Jericho looked back slightly to see her blush. "Damn she's cute."
"Don't forget about me." Justin stated walking into sight as did to others.
"More rangers? How many more fucking rangers are their?!" Frost snarled.
"Keep the language in check pervert." Adam shouted standing with his former students.
"Jeez you weren't joking when you said that thing was warped." Jason spoke looking at the two. "Crap that's a lot of putties." He added.
"No joke." Jericho stated reaching for his morpher. "Hey Jas wanna get us started." Jericho smirked looking at the former Ranger leader.
"Why not, IT'S MORPHING TIME!!" Jason shouted as he Adam and Jericho grabbed their Morphers.
"SHIFT INTO TURBO!! MOUNTAIN BLASTER TURBO POWER!!" Justin shouted as his suit formed up.
"DRAGON ZORD!!" Jericho growled as the green lighting covered over him and left to reveal the Green Ranger.
"MASTODON!!!!" Adam shouted as the black lightning did the same as Jericho's.
"TYRANNOSAURUS!!!" Jason joined in as the lightning faded from them to reveal the power ranger.
"Wow we have seen five rangers so far." Hay Lin gasped looking at the two rangers that had similar armor as Jericho. "They must be Zordon's rangers."
"Must be." Will said smiling as they now had more help.
"You five ready?" The black ranger spoke looking back.
"Yeah, lets teach these freaks a lesson." Irma shouted pumping her fist.
"Frost is mine." Jericho snarled. POWER SWORD!!"
"Alright Tracker is mine then." Justin stated. "TURBO SWORD!!"
"I guess we get to help take care of the Putties." Jason stated. "POWER SWORD!"
"Looks that way then again seeing as he is crushing on the Air Guardian it is understandable." Adam chuckled looking at the furiously blushing girl. "POWER AX!"
"Well then when I beat you I will make you watch my fun." Frost growled staring down the Green ranger.
"Only when I am cold and dead bitch!" Jericho growled as the battles all began. "I'm gonna send you back in pieces freak." The Green rangers snarled as Frost's ax and his sword created sparks from trading blows.
"Well Tracker lets dance." Justin stated as Tracker sent his spiked ball at him only to have it deflected letting Justin charge him. "Bad move!" The Turbo ranger shouted kicking Tracker in the chest.
"Been a long time since we got to fight like this." Adam spoke as he and Jason were back to back.
"I know to be honest I missed this." Jason stated holding his sword with both hands as Adam was holding his ax in one. "Lets take'em." The red ranger shouted as he and the black ranger began to take the putties out one after another.
"Come on girls we can't let them have all the fun." Cornelia smirked attacking the putties with renew vigor.
"FIRE!!" Taranee growled sending more and more fire balls out. "Look their numbers are dwindling." she grinned.
"AIR!!" Hay Lin grinned watching as the putties were shredded by the vortexes of air. " Jericho be careful." She thought turning to see Frost slash him across the chest. "JERICHO!!" She shouted flying to where he landed.
"Hay Lin?" He said as she helped him up.
"Shouldn't you be bleeding from a hit like that?" Hay Lin inquired placing a hand where he was hit seeing only a scratch mark on the golden chest armor.
"Not really beautiful the power suit protects me." Jericho responded as she turned red. "Come on lets take this freak." He said grabbing his sword back off the ground.
"Yeah." Hay Lin smirked as they got ready.
"All right blast him!" Jericho growled charging forward dragging the tip of the blade across the ground as Hay Lin took to the air send waves of razor sharp air at Frost throwing him off as Jericho charged energy into the sword. "DRAGON SLASH!!" Jericho bellowed hitting frost dead center knocking him back into Tracker knocking them both out.
"Hey I thought he was mine." Justin laughed looking at the two defeated generals.
"Jeez the putties are stronger than Zedd's." Jason stated as he finished off his last two and joined them as Adam finished his off as well the guardians.
"Wow you five are great." Adam stated joining the others.
"Thanks you guys aren't so bad your selves." Irma smirked looking at a certain blue ranger as he turned red under his helmet.
"Sorry bro didn't think Frost had a glass jaw." Jericho laughed walking up holding the hand of a certain Air guardian.
"Well look at this." Taranee grinned looking at the two walk up.
"What she's cute." Jericho spoke rubbing the back of his helmet and Hay Lin turned bright crimson.
"We can torment later what do we do about those two?" Will stated pointing at the defeated generals.
"Take them back to Meridian for Elyon to place in prison again." Cornelia stated.
"Destroy them." Jason spoke readying his blaster and Adam turned his Ax to blaster mode and Justin got the Turbo Blasters ready.
"They might not be human but were not to pass judgment on them." Hay Lin shouted as Jericho joined the others drawing his own blaster. "Jericho don't please." the air guardian pleaded place her hands on his trying lower the blaster.
"This how the rangers insured peace Guardians." Jason stated looking back at them."
"I don't approve of killing but they have done nothing but destroy and cause problems." Adam added still pointing his blaster at them.
"They may be monsters here but they come from another world where the Queen has ordered them to be placed into prison for ever." Will shouted.
"Hey Jason maybe we should just let them take'em back." Justin sighed lowering his blasters.
"Why so Dread can free them again." Jason spoke looking at the monsters again.
"I doubt he will Jas, they failed and even Zedd wasn't tolerant of Failure." Adam responded lowering his as well.
"ON THE CONTRAY RANGERS I CAN STILL USE THEM!!!" Came the booming voice of Dread as he appeared and stood in front of them. "UNLIKE MY BROTHER I DON'T THROW AWAY USEFUL MATERIALS." Dread laughed darkly.
"Get'em!" Jericho growled as he charged.
"IMPUDENT BOY!" Dread snarled sending a massive lighting bolt blasting him back past the others.
"JERICHO!!" They shouted running flying to him.
"DAMN IT!!" Jericho growled getting up to one knee.
"TILL NEXT TIME RANGERS!" Dread bellowed leavening with his generals.
"COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT!" Jericho snarled.
"Clam down please." Hay Lin cried hugging him from behind.
"She's right Jer we'll get our chance at him soon." Justin stated placing his hand on his friends shoulder.
"Yeah, I heard ya." Jericho sighed relaxing. "Thanks Hay Lin." He said softly.
"No problem." Hay Lin smiled turning red again but not moving.
"Well now that your not running off after the fight, The Oracle would like to speak with you." Will stated making a fold.
"Is he the one that gave you five your powers?" Adam inquired.
"Yes with this new threat he has been attacking earth and another world called Meridian." Cornelia stated as they all went through.
Kandracar.
"Guardians good to see you are well." A bald man spoke as they all arrived.
"With out their help we might not have been." Irma grinned standing next to Justin as the Rangers all removed their helmets
"You wanted to meet us?" Adam stated standing next to Jason as the all looked at the man.
"Yes I am the Oracle." He started. "I have seen that this Lord Dread is more powerful than my Guardians and it seems you as well." He finished
"I see and you want us too." Jason spoke.
"I wanted to ask you to join in and help defend the infinite dimensions." The Oracle stated.
"I see, wasn't Zordon's ideal to protect those in need and seeing as he is Zedd's brother wouldn't fall to us to help finish the job?" Jericho stated looking at his fellow rangers.
"It was, so I am in." Justin stated with a smile as he placed his hand out open palm down. and the Guardians sighed in relief.
"If Dread has that much power is wouldn't be smart to leave him unchallenged." Jason spoke. "So I'll help as well." Jason finished placing his hand on top of Justin's.
"No way I'm missing out on this." Jericho laughed joining Justin and Jason.
"I won't be around as much as these three but I'll help as best I can." Adam smirked doing as the others did.
"Well then one more time for old times and new times sake?" Jason said looking at this fellow rangers.
"Why not you two in?" Adam spoke.
"Been awhile since we did this Adam." Justin grinned looking as the green ranger.
"Hell yeah." Jericho smiled.
"1, 2, 3, POWER RANGERS" The four shouted throwing their hands up.
"GUARDIANS!" The girls shouted as well.
"I have an extra communicator for you Jericho and I'll have Alpha get the others ready and send them to your house too." Adam stated handing him the Green wrist communicator.
"You mean we all get one?" Hay Lin grinned looking as the device Jericho had.
"Yes that way you can all stay in touch with out cell phones and these will work where cell phones won't." Jason stated looking at the girls.
"Cool does this mean were honorary rangers?" Irma inquired.
"I guess so." Adam laughed.
"COOL!" Hay Lin laughed flying around.
"Good luck with her." Jason whispered as Jericho turned red.
"Yeah, yeah and tell Justin good luck with the Water Guardian." Jericho spoke loud enough for him and her to hear and turn red.
"Jericho you better run!" The shouted as they turned at him.
"Crap send he back to earth." Jericho shouted as the Oracle created a fold and he ducked through it.
"GET BACK HERE GREEN RANGER!" Justin growled with Irma hot on his heels.
"Good luck with him." Adam laughed turning to the Air Guardian.
"I think I like him that way." She grinned as they all went back to earth to save the Green ranger.
AN: Well a new chapter and two new rangers that now work with the Guardians. And thanks to XV-Dragon for suggesting the return of Jason and for his reviews. Peace Out.
