Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers.

A/N: Look! I finally updated! The idea for this chapter has gone through so many changes in my head...but I'm happy with this one, and hopefully it'll turn out alright. Because I completely understand this is going to be a hit or miss. This one will play out a bit like a typical PR episode...except with a twist you'll never see in the shows.

-Billy-

Jason squinted his eyes, looking over the small Brazilian village from atop a two story church. The sun out here was killing him. He took off his red bandanna for a second, just to wipe the sweat off his face. After doing so, he replaced it and looked down at his blue jeans and red tank top. Although, with all the dirt covering them, they looked just as brown as his work boots. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and he'd been working on this building since first light. He looked down at the street in front of the church and smiled when he saw Kimberly and several other girls were playing with some young children.

Jason, Billy, and Kimberly were with a local volunteer group, helping out a needy village in northern Brazil. The group was split up and doing construction, errands, entertaining the children, and anything else that could make these people's lives better. It was something they had wanted to do for a long time, but were only recently able to gather up the funds for the trip. Tommy and Zack had been unable to go due to a martial arts tournament they'd signed up for awhile ago, and Trini's parents didn't like the idea at all, so she had to stay home. So it was just the three of them. It was probably a good thing, though. No telling what crazy scheme Rita would hatch with three Rangers in another hemisphere.

"Hey! Jason!" Mr. Green's voice suddenly caught his attention, snapping him back to reality.

"Yea! Sorry!" Jason quickly apologized, not used to zoning out like that.

Mr. Green was one of the adults that had agreed to go on this trip, and a construction worker back home. The two of them had been working on the second story ever since the group had arrived in the country, with plenty of scattered help from everyone else, and they were just about done. Although a good bit had been completed before they arrived, both of them had sort of taken over the project as soon as they saw it. Jason looked down to see that Mr. Green was standing on a ladder, holding a large sign and was trying to hand it up to him. Jason crouched down and grabbed the top end, and the two of them held it against the wall while Billy climbed up another ladder, with his hammer and nails in hand.

"We get this up, we're done here," Mr. Green said as he made sure the sign wasn't crooked or anything.

"Actually, I don't like the look of some of these shingles," Jason said, keeping a firm grip on the top of sign while allowing Mr. Green to adjust it as he saw fit. "I might as well replace them while I'm up here."

"We just put them up. Are you sure?" Mr. Green responded, shaking his head in annoyance. The addition of the second story had gone alright, but their biggest problem had been material quality. If the shingles didn't look good on a second glance...what else would be wrong?

"Yea," Jason simply replied, looking back over the roof. They would work...but they weren't perfect, and when it came to stuff like this, he preferred perfect.

"Are you ready, Mr. Green?" Billy asked, holding his tools ready.

"I think we're good. Go for it, Billy," the adult supervisor said with a nod.

Billy tapped a nail into position so it wouldn't fall, then held his hammer back for an actual hit. Before he could swing though...the sound of two communicators beeping broke the silence. All three of them froze instantly.

"What was that?" Mr. Green asked, looking around for the source of that strange sound.

Billy knew what he had to do. Jason was opening his mouth to say something, but it was too late. Billy swung that hammer as hard as he could, slamming it right into Jason's thumb. The Red Ranger instantly let out a scream of pain as he lost his grip on the sign, which Mr. Green managed to save.

"Jason, I'm so sorry!!!" Billy quickly apologized while Jason clutched his finger tightly.

"Are you alright!?" Mr. Green asked, trying to get a look for himself, but the giant sign he was holding wouldn't permit that.

"It hurts...it really, really hurts!" Jason answered, waving it frantically in the air now.

"Forget this, we'll put the sign up later," Mr. Green decided. "Jason, go to the medical tent and have them take a look at it."

"I'll go with him," Billy quickly said. "I just feel so bad..."

"Alright, go on boys," Mr. Green said. "I'll take care of this thing."

Jason nodded, then quickly stood up and ran down the roof. There was a downwards, wooden ramp on the other end that lead to the ground, which was how he had carried some of the extremely heavy materials up earlier that day. He quickly ran down it, making eye contact with Kimberly as he did. The two of them took off down the streets, joined by Billy just a few seconds later. They spotted an empty alleyway, and slid into it.

"Nice one, Billy," Jason said, still shaking his hand.

"You didn't...!" the wide-eyed Pink Ranger said, looking at Jason's thumb.

"I really am sorry, Jason," Billy said again. "There just wasn't any other way."

"Yea, yea..." Jason said, rolling his eyes while holding his communicator to his mouth. "We read you Zordon."

"Rangers!" Zordon's booming voice shot through the communicator. "Rita has-"

There was a large explosion just a few blocks down from them, but it was enough to cause all three of them to drop to the ground in surprise. Quickly they stood back up, realizing how little time there was.

"What powers does it have!?" Jason said a little louder than he should, just trying to hurry this part along. They were needed.

"It is the Moltenator," Zordon quickly explained. "It specializes in fire techniques. Be careful, and may the power protect you, Rangers."

"It would attack a village made mostly of wood," Kimberly dryly commented while rolling her eyes. Things could never be easy with Rita.

"It's morphin' time!" Jason shouted while he and Billy reached for their morphers. Kimberly jumped and pulled hers out as well, and the three of them quickly activated them.

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

Once the morph was complete, Jason gave his two teammates a quick nod, and they ran around the corner and down the street. The Moltenator was made almost entirely of black rocks, held together by the flames creeping out from the gaps. As soon as the monster saw them, though, it ran away. Jason moved to follow it, but Kimberly grabbed him by the arm.

"Those houses are on fire!" she screamed, pointing over to three flaming homes.

"You take care of them," Jason responded, being careful not to use her name due to all the people now filling the streets in panic. "We'll deal with that thing!"

"Alright," the Pink Ranger responded, running towards the houses.

Jason just nodded to Billy, and the two of them sprinted in the direction of the monster.

A little bit outside the village, the Moltenator stepped onto a small hill overlooking a large crop field. It turned around to see the Red and Blue Rangers charging at him full speed...and quickly leaped into the tall crops.

"You can't run from us!!!" Jason yelled as he stopped on the edge of the hill, looking down at the plants. Whatever they were, they were really tall, and the monster was using them as cover.

"Where is he!?" Billy frantically asked, looking down at the field while forming his lance in his hand.

"Split up!" Jason ordered, forming his sword. "Yell if you find him!"

Billy nodded, and he and Jason leaped into different sections of the field. The Blue Ranger instantly made his way through the crops, pushing them aside while searching for the monster. All of a sudden, things got really hot. Instinctively, he ducked to the ground, and a massive ball of flame shot straight over his head, tearing through all the plants.

The Moltenator grunted in annoyance, preparing to fire another fireball at the downed Ranger, when a laser blast slammed into his back. He stumbled forwards, and turned to see the Red Ranger hacking his way through the plants with his sword in one hand, and getting ready to take another shot with the blade blaster in his other hand. That was all the Moltenator needed to see, and quickly fled into the plants once again.

"Billy!" Jason yelled, noticing his friend hadn't gotten back up. He quickly ran over to the Blue Ranger, waving his way through the smoke. "Billy! Are you alright!?"

"...Jason?" Billy asked, causing Jason to frown beneath his helmet.

And that's when he noticed the smell.

The smell of marijuana.

They were in a damned marijuana field.

Jason pulled Billy to his feet, keeping an arm around his shoulder. The smell...the smoke...it was getting to him, too. They needed to end this, fast. Of course, he looked up just in time to see the Moltenator growing to a gigantic size.

Jason groaned as he let go of Billy, who stumbled aside. After that, he raised his right hand to the sky. "We need Dinozord power, NOW!"

After a minute, the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops charged into the area, and the two Rangers leaped into their Zords.

"Log on!" Jason ordered, activating all the wrong switches before catching himself and fixing things.

"Hey...Jason..." Billy spoke through the communication systems.

"Yea?" Jason answered, closing his eyes for a moment as he shook his head. Everything was just so blurry...

"Did you know that the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops are the only actual dinosaurs in the fleet?" Billy said, immediately going to his technical tone of voice. "The Mastodon and Saber-tooth Tiger are actually mammals. Pterodactyls are incorrectly regarded as dinosaurs as well, since dinosaurs are standing reptiles. And of course, Dragons such as the Dragonzord are entirely mythological."

It was quiet for only a moment. After that, Jason burst into a fit of laughter, slamming his head onto his control console. Over in the other Zord, Billy was laughing just as hard now, grabbing his side and falling out of his seat. Jason leaned all the way back in his chair after a bit, calming down somewhat. At the same time, Billy managed to get back into his seat, taking a deep breath.

"Alright..." Jason said, slowly, reaching towards his belt.. "Power up your crystals! Get ready for Megazord power!"

"Jason!" Billy quickly interjected. "There's only two of us."

Once again, Jason exploded into laughter, followed again by Billy. After another minute of laughing, Jason looked outside to see the monster watching them, a bit confused.

"Jason!" Billy yelled into the radio. "I'm going to get him!"

The Moltenator braced itself as the Triceratops finally began to move, but could only stare in shock when it's chains fired out and wrapped tightly around the Tyrannosaurus.

"I'm hit!!! I'm HIT!!!" Jason screamed, frantically working at his controls.

"Negative, you are not hit!" Billy shouted back at him, trying to disengage the cables, but the struggling Tyrannosaurus made it too difficult. "You are NOT hit!"

"I am hit!" Jason cried out, engaging his emergency power source. He then jerked all the controls in a hard right, causing his Zord to begin spinning. The Triceratops was jerked right off the ground, spinning in circles around the Tyrannosaurus at the end of the horn chains.

"They've got me, Jason!!!" Billy cried out, burying his face in his hands. "They've got me! It's all up to you! Don't let us down!"

"Hold on, Billy!" Jason yelled back. "Just hold on! I'm gonna rescue you as soon as I deal with this guy!!!"

The Moltenator took a few steps backwards as the spinning Tyrannosaurus and it's temporary Triceratops extension began walking around. The fiery monster stopped at the edge of a lake, realizing it was trapped. Deciding to just go for it, the monster turned and prepared to launch a fireball at the dysfunctional Zord combo. All it saw, however, was the Triceratops flying right at it. It tried to hold it's arms out to block, but the Zord ran into the monster with so much force that it was thrown all the way into the lake. The Moltenator screamed in pain as the water covered him, and soon disintegrated into nothing. At the same time, the chain finally released, throwing Billy and his Zord to the other side of the lake.

"...We did it!" Billy yelled after a moment of silence, holding his hands up victoriously.

"I don't believe it..." Jason said slowly. "Billy...we're superheroes! We're wearing spandex and piloting giant robots!!!"

Once again, the two Rangers collapsed into a fit of laughter.

"Are you guys okay?" Kimberly asked that night, watching in awe as her two teammates were devouring their sixth serving of dinner. She was sitting next to Jason at an outdoor picnic table, across from Billy. All the tables were under an outdoor canopy, with buffet style tables set up under another one nearby.

"Fine!" Billy said through a mouthful of food as he reached over, grabbing a handful of Kimberly's mashed potatoes. The Pink Ranger's eyes widened as Billy just shoved the potatoes into his already full mouth, and went back to work on his own plate.

"What happened out there today?" Kimberly almost demanded, looking to her leader instead.

"Big fight, big monster, big Zords," Jason explained, waving his hand dismissively while chewing a mouthful of food. "We won."

"Uh huh..." Kimberly slowly said, picking up her tray. "I'm going to eat with Heather and them...alright?"

The two boys just nodded, and watched as Kimberly slowly got up and left. With his main target gone, Billy reached across to Jason's plate instead. The Red Ranger's hand snapped up and grabbed Billy's wrist, all while he shot him a lethal glare. The Blue Ranger just grunted as he pulled his arm away, and went back to work on his own food.

"You know...it's not like we'd get in trouble or anything..." Billy commented as soon as he had some enough room in his mouth to talk.

"That's not the point!" Jason whispered, although a bit loudly. "We can't tell the other Rangers we got high while saving the world! We piloted Zords like that, for crying out loud."

"Well our judgment wasn't exactly up to par..." Billy mused.

"That's the point," Jason said. "We're just...not telling anyone about this. There's no point, it never happened. Alright?"

Billy just nodded, sighing. Then...he turned around and saw something that caught his attention. "The desert table is set up."

There was a brief silence before Billy jumped out of his seat and ran towards it, while Jason climbed onto the table and vaulted himself after him. Over from another table, Kimberly just shook her head as she watched her teammates' antics. They were always up to strange things...and she figured this would just be another story she'd never hear.

A/N: It just occured to me as I'm posting this that it's 4/20. I swear its a coincidence, because I've been working on this chapter for at least a week and just happened to be finished and fully satisfied with it tonight. Anyways, please leave a review!
