Power Rangers: Pirate Raid 5
"One, two, three..." a little boy counted, covering his brown eyes with his small, five-year-old hands as his friends hide, "four, five..."
It was the kid's play hour, and Delaney found the group 'most adorable'. So, she'd kindly asked if she could play, to which they accepted. Now she was ducked behind a tree, smiling as the boy counted to ten and raced to find them all. These children was so adorable...
"Your Play Hour is up!" a Scourmin barked, and Pirate Pink frowned as she looked at her little wrist watch.
"No, it is not," she sounded distressed, "it does not end for the next half hour. So may I ask to leave these children alone and obey the previously set rules?"
"You're one of those space pirates, aren't ya'?" the Scourmin snarled, swinging at her face, "I don't take orders from stupid pirates!"
Much to his surprise, she stopped his fist and smiled politley, curtsying a bit and letting it fall down, "I do not feel like we should be violent in front of children. Please leave before I am forced to call for back-up."
In response, he swung his fist again, making her duck and bit her lower lip gently, "How aggressive..."
"Timing," Lilliac grunted a bit as she stood from where she was sitting on the couch, "Joe and Chad are doing laundry." After laughing a moment with her sister figure, she promised that she would be there soon and hung up quickly.
"Delaney's in trouble?" Danny's question was innocent, and the fact he had big innocent brown eyes would've made any other coo.
But this was Pirate Yellow's little sister figure. Nothing would make her anything less than tough and nails. So she grabbed him by the nape of the neck, dragging him down to Earth. Nothing would break her now...
Well...at least for now...
Pirate Pink had managed alright on her own against a flury of Gourmin, but it was obvious she couldn't handle them all alone. Now she rushed to her big sister figure, standing between her two teammates and friends.
"Thank goodness you are here now," the girl with a high ponytail smiled, and the older smirked a little.
"We came running," she assured before taking out her Moterbite and Ranger Key, chorusing with the other two, "Pirate Raid: Go!"
Once they were in their suits, they charged forward almost as one, lifting their swords and guns for the battle ahead of them. Danny fired his gun rabidly, ducking from the Gourmin, sliding between their legs and banging them on the heads when they'd grab at him. Delaney was being more delicate, standing on the dead one's bodies and firing, slashing their throats when they'd close in on her. Lilliac was charging into them all quickly, slashing and firing at them in the eyes to damage the brain.
"Mr. Daniel, shall we finish this off?" the youngest of the team inquired, and the timid blonde nodded as he ducked under a Gourmin's kick, punching him in the face and crying out from pain.
"Ouch! Yes, we shall!" he rushed to her, dropping to his hands and knees so she could jump on his back, backflip and send her Final Wave at the rest of the metalheads, "good job!"
"Nice work, you two," Pirate Yellow smirked, "but Danny...get a little backbone, would ya? I mean, you can't expect to survive on your own with that kind of fighting style."
She chuckled a bit as she wrapped her arm her sister figure's shoulders, kissing her in a sisterly way on the temple of her head and leading of off. The youngest couldn't help but look back, feeling her heart go out for the poor blonde.
"Ms. Lilliac..." she stopped walking, turning around and running to his side, "please, Mr. Daniel...do not cry, it is alright."
And Pirate Yellow just stalked away.
I have to get stronger, that was the only thought of Pirate Green's mind as he headed out in the morning of the next day, I will find a place to make me strong, no matter what!
XXXXX
"I wonder where Mr. Daniel as gone," Delaney wondered aloud, and her older sister shrugged, like she didn't really care.
But deep down, she really, really felt guilty for upsetting him. Poor kid...
"Wow," Pirate Green was balancing on his toes as he leaned over the rail, watching a man with black hair that was somewhat slick backflip and demonstrate moves to a group of students before him, "he's amazing."
Then he noticed the sign that read: Pai Zu training class. Do not miss a week to try out training with the great former Power Ranger Jungle Fury Ranger, Theo! Payment is ten dollars a day, sign up lasts from July 18th through July July 20th. Training begins at 8 Am to noon each day, and the camp begins on July 22nd. Good luck, and hi-YA!
Today was the 22nd...he bit his lower lip before pulling out his wallet. Walking over, he offered a fold of bills to this Theo person.
"Um...can you please train me?" he was terrified of this past Ranger, but at the same time...he couldn't be that bad, could he?
"Did you sign up?" the older adult demanded to the twenty two year old, who flinched and shook his head, "then sorry, I can't help."
"I can pay you..." the timid blonde had heard money was one to man's heart, so maybe another bill would work...
And it did.
"Found him," Joe raised an eyebrow at the sight of his teammate training with quite a few kids who looked younger than him by about ten years.
"Oh my..." Delaney looked at her teammates, "I wonder what he is trying to acomplish."
"Yo, Danny!" Chad called down to the other blonde, and the one he called looked up in a bit of alarm, stopping throwing air punches with the others as he jogged up, "what're ya' doin'?"
"I...want to become strong, like you all," he looked down a bit, "so I..."
"Daniel!" Theo barked, and the younger adult flinched as he scurried back over, "get back over here!"
"Hm..." Delaney spoke as the other three started off, "I do believe I shall join him."
"D!" Lilliac said in alarm as her younger sister figure's head hit the edge of the table later that night, "are you okay?" She was instantly at her side, and Pirate Pink nodded weakly.
"I am just a bit tired..." she yawned, and she was instantly being led across the room, to the back wall where they could go to their own quarters.
"Poor Miss Delaney..." Danny was also quite tired, but he had to work on cleaning up after their diner before he could even think about hitting the hay.
"Don't strain yourself," Chad advised half-heardiley as he threw yet another dart at the board, standing beside his captain's chair.
"How are you guys so strong, huh?" Pirate Green suddenly inquired, "I mean...I know Joe does his work-outs and stuff, but what about you and Lilliac?"
"Tch," the confident blonde shrugged, sliding off a big metal gold bracelet he was always wearing onboard, "feel this."
The second the curly-haired blonde took it, he almost fell to the ground in surprise, dropping it on his foot and crying, "It's really heavy!"
"See?" the captain smirked, sliding it back on his wrist with ease and resuming his dart game, "and as for Lilliac..."
The two blondes glanced in her direction as she climbed the stairs to the lookout's nest, and the timid one quickly followed her, "Miss Lilliac, why are you always coming up here at night?"
She looked at him, looking slightly annoyed at having him as company, "I count ten shooting stars before I sleep. I've always done that...it helps me keep my eyes open during the battle, you know?"
It's like she knew what I was going to ask...he thought, going back down the steps in amazement.
They all had their own ways of doing training...maybe there was another way for the other two.
"Ha, huh, ha," the small princess grunted as she kept throwing air punches, feeling her muscles ache and groan their protest.
"Miss Delaney!" she was rather alarmed to see the timid run running up to her, and Theo looked up at him, slightly annoyed.
"You're late," he snarled, and he bit his lower lip, ringing his hands in front of him.
"Um...I find another way of training, if is alright with you," he looked down at the Blue Jungle Fury's Ranger steel gaze, "I was thinking something more like a sword training class..."
"Sword-training?" the older was almost yelling, and all in the class flinched now, "SWORD-TRAINING? What is wrong with karate?"
There were signs of a fight starting...but that's when other blasts fired at them.
It was the Scourmin from early, not looking amused. Speak of the devil, but he had a sword in his hands and was now slicing everything in sight as if it were butter. The two Pirates looked at each other, nodding once and rushing in. However, Theo rushed in with them, lunging onto his opponent.
He backflipped, kicking him in the stomach and twisted on his wrist. But the Scourmin countered, turning his body so that the former Ranger slammed to the ground. Theo got up at once, trying to keep his balance from the force the slam and swiping his foot at the Scourmin's own. He ended up just falling back, giving the enemy a chance to slice at his stomach. Though he was now bleeding, he jumped on his back, hooking his arms around the monster's neck and holding on.
"Oh my..." Delaney gasped, "Mr. Daniel, we must hurry and help him! Pirate Raid: Go!"
Once the two were morphed, Pirate Green held up another key, "How about we use this one?"
"Great idea!" she smiled, "Suit Change: Jungle Fury!" She was suddenly in the Jungle Fury Yellow suit as he was in the Purple one, and the two jumped into action.
Delaney twisted the Scourmin's wrist now, pulling it sharply behind his back as Danny pulled the former Ranger out of harm's way. Theo watched, kind of in a daze, as the two slashed his chest and rushed out of the way of the blasts sent at them.
"Call to the Beast inside!" they chorused.
"Unleash the Panther!" Delaney spoke now as Danny called, "Unleash the Wolf!"
As the animal spirits attacked their opponent, a heard of Gourmin backups headed for the two. As they stood back to back, the timid blonde looked all that more timid, they heard three voices cry out of the Gourmin's 'gors'.
"Call to the Beast Inside!" "Unleash the Lion!" "Unleash the Jaquer!" "Unleash the Rhino!"
They couldn't help but smile under their masks at their teammates now as the five stood together, all standing in sync with their arms spread apart, "Jungle Cannon!"
Joe and Delaney knelt down beside it, hands on tight as Chad held it from the back, and Lilliac sent a Panther attack to finish off the rest of Gourmin. As she did that, Danny charged in towards the Scourmin, slashing his face with his claws to stun him. Headlocking him, he tried to pull back but found him very heavy for his weak muscles.
That's when two other arms headlocked the enemy, "Need some help, kid?"
The two smiled at each other for the first time as Danny's teammates sent out their blast, and the former Ranger as well as one of the newest rolled out of the way just as he exploded.
"Taylor!" Primlily squealed to her friend, and the redhead rolled her eyes a bit.
"Relax," she picked up a gun on a wire that was attached to the wall, aiming towards Earth and clicking the trigger once.
"Guess it's time for Round Two," Chad smirked just a little as the Scourmin suddenly grew taller than serveral buildings as well as a few Gourmin. Pressing a few buttons on his MoterBite, he summonded The Ship as they transformed into a huge Battle Zord Combo.
Hmmmm...there not half bad, Theo couldn't help but think as they two sides did heavy, somewhat clumsy karate moves towards each other.
"Ha!" and then the space pirates were victorious with another call to the beast inside, and the former Ranger smiled.
Casey and Lily would certainly want to hear about this...
