Power Rangers: Pirate Raid 6
"What in the...?" Joe raised an eyebrow as he did situps in the early morning in the main room like he always did. There was a form slowly growing larger on the carpet near the front door that led from the main room to their personal quarters, and now he rose from where he was working out slowly, cautiously.
"Don't shoot," a somewhat familiar voice whispered, and the first mate had to roll his dark eyes a bit.
"Why would I?" he replied just as softly, "you're just sneaking on our ship at 5 AM, that's all."
"Anyway..." the other male was no doubt rolling his eyes before he clasped the younger's shoulder, having to reach up a bit to do so, since he was tall, "I want you all to come with me to the Pai Zu temple. My former teammates insisted on meeting you infamous space pirates,"
"Don't tell me that you're allies with the Zangyack," Pirate Blue scowled a bit, and the former Jungle Fury Blue did the same in return.
"Who the hell do you think I am?" he shoved a map into his hands and turned on his heel, ready to get off of this ship that he didn't want to get on in the first place.
"Well...you're name's Theo, right?" the younger smirked, and the older scowled a bit deeper.
"Just be there,"
Chad groaned once again as he pressed a button to lower the anchor on ship. He was not amused being woken up past his usual quota (11 AM and no earlier), but Joe had forced him out of the bed and thrust him in front of the wheel, shoving the map in front of his face. So now he was reluctantly steering them to the Pai Zu temple while his crew talked about it excitedly.
"I am sure it will be a lovely place," Delaney was being as cheerful and optimistic as ever, but Danny didn't seem to agree.
"But what if his teammates are like him?" he knew that they couldn't be that bad, but until he'd warmed up to Pirate Green, Theo had been pretty darn cold to them all.
"Who knows?" Lilliac held up a ruby ring to light, "and who cares? Let's just get this over with."
"Do not tell me that you really feel this way," the smaller girl bit her lower lip in a delicate way, and the older shrugged.
"I agree," Joe sat beside the lookout, "let's just meet them and get this over with already."
"There they are!" Lily pointed up to the flying pirate ship in the sky, exclaiming this just as Casey was doing a sideways air spin for a demonstration for their students.
"Excellent," he grinned, "students, morning training is over."
As the excited young pupils filled out, relieved of the exercises they were all so devoted to each day for now, the former Jungle Fury Red Ranger sat on the low stone wall and swigged his water bottle. It was amazing being able to teach like this and be a former Power Ranger, but it was exhausting, none the less. His former teammates joined him, wiping her forehead and lying back a bit.
"Here they are," Theo was stilled obviously still not eager about having them here, but he was, none the less, leading them in.
"Too bad the others aren't here to see this," Casey whispered to the former Jungle Fury Yellow, referring to the former Purple and White Jungle Fury Rangers, Domonic and RJ.
"Hi, I'm Lily," the girl smiled broadly, extending her hand towards the Pirate Captain, "former Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger."
"I am Captain Chad," he smirked cooly, accepting the handshake with a solid pump, "what do you three want with us?"
While Theo scowled, Casey replied, "We heard you could morph into our former Ranger suits. We were intersted...it obviously it has some concern of us."
"Not really," Joe crossed his arms over his chest casually, turning at an angle as he stood so that his back with facing his captain's halfway, just as Pirate Red was doing the same to him.
"We're looking for the greatest treasure in the universe, and your keys are helping us do it," Lilliac put her hands casually on her hips, "that's all."
"But you're also protecting Earth," Casey pointed out, rising himself and standing between his two former teammates, "of course we're concerned."
"Not really," Danny shook his head, trying to copy the first mate and captain and having arms fall awkwardly to his sides.
"We are more concerned with the treasure, honestly," Delaney stood beside her older sister figure, speaking it a tone that said she wanted them to understand, but she meant what she said, "we just tend to run in with the Zangyzack."
Lily and Casey exchanged knowing smiles at these arguments. Both of them had a feeling that they didn't mean that completley, even though they said they did. However, Theo didn't approve of their responses.
At all.
"If you're not going to handle owning our 'keys' seriously..." he didn't hiesatate to get in the captain's face, "give them back."
Chad just smirked before pushing him off easily, sending him to the sand on his rear before he started to stride off, "Tch. Seeya!"
"Theo," Lily was at her boyfriend's heels after he stalked off from the scene of the mini-clash, "Theo, wait!"
"Hmph," he turned at the sound of her voice was a scowl on his face, "those stupid pirates...I'll get our keys back, one way or another."
"Give them a chance!" she was once again trying to get him to stop him so they could talk eye to eye, "they can't be that bad! They stopped the Zangyack from killing you, didn't they?"
He paused for a just a moment before shaking his head, "I could've handled it myself."
She just stood there in place after that, in total shock and disbelief as he vanished into the woods.
"Was that really nessacary?" Joe inquired to his best friend as the two of them sat together on a log, waiting for the rest of the team to catch up. Danny and Lilliac had decided to go after Theo and Lily, and Delaney had somehow fallen behind them while the captain was stalking out.
"Who knows?" the cocky blonde shrugged, resting his back to one tree and propping his legs on the log, making his friend scoot over a bit to avoid them.
In all truthfulness, all the former Jungle Fury Blue Ranger had done was make him angry by getting in his face. If you acted boldly in front of the cocky blonde, he was just fine with knocking the fire out of you. He didn't care if he was a former Power Ranger...he was a current one.
Joe just shook his head and did the same. He didn't really care what fights his buddy got into with these past protectors of this planet...as long as he didn't get himself killed.
Delaney grunted a bit as she tripped over a root. Looking at her leg, she found it slightly bloody and sighed. That was just nice...
"Whoah!" the former Jungle Fury Red Ranger was going after her, having nothing else to do and finding her cute, "are you alright?"
"I am alright, Mr. Casey," but before she could get all the way up, he was at her side, checking her leg and frowning when he saw the blood on her stocking.
"C'mon...let's get a bandage on that, at least," he gave her a small, gentle smile, and she couldn't turn him down.
"Dude!" Lilliac barked sharply as she rushed after the Jungle Fury Blue, "DUDE! Ugh, you're being a jerk, you know that?"
That's when the older male fell, thanks to Danny's leg being stuck out in his path ahead of him.
He growled in his throat as he started to get up, finding it hard because of his stinging knees. No doubt they'd busted on the hard roots, and he shot an evil glare to the timid blonde younger male. This was unlike Pirate Yellow, who gave her friend a pat on the shoulder of thanks as she passed him to offer her hand to the other.
"Need a hand?" she smirked a bit, a smirk that was matter-of-fact, and he just scowled as he reluctantly accepted.
"There you go," the former Red Jungle Fury Ranger smiled again to Pirate Pink as he rose from treating her leg with some acohaul and a bandage wrap.
"Thank you, Mr. Casey, but...it wasn't really nessasary..." she smiled back weakly, rising on her own, "I must be finding Mr. Chad and Mr. Joe..."
"Wait!" he took her shoulder before his brain registered what he was doing, "don't go!...I mean...uh...why don't you just wait here? I'm sure they'll show up."
"Well..." she had to smile at his red face, "alright then. Would you happen to have any puzzles?"
"You shouldn't have been agressive to Chad..." Danny spoke as the three of them sat on a log together, Theo still reluctant.
"I don't really give a..." the former Ranger instantly started to jump up to tower over the timid blonde, but the female grabbed his shoulder and yanked him back down with so much force, he almost backflipped off the log.
"We don't care if you're angry," she was glaring now, protectiveness kicking in inside her and instant anger firing up for his yelling, "but if you're looking for a fight, you'll find the one of your life with me."
Both of them were suddenly in each other's faces, glaring bitterly with their fists clenched at their sides. Pirate Green just inched back, knowing not to mess with them when they were angry, and deciding to go find Delaney before they started to swinging.
"Where are they?" Chad groaned impatiently, opening his Cell and starting to call Lilliac. No sooner had he dialed the first number did the Scourmin show up.
"This is quite fun," Delaney smiled as she inserted another piece in the puzzle with Casey. She'd always gotten joy out of simple things like this, and he certainly didn't seem to mind.
"I agree," he smiled back, touching her hand briefly, almost longingly as he put in another piece with the one she just inserted, "I can't believe your a pirate."
"I know," he was about ready to slap himself after blurting that out, so he was grateful she understood, "I am not like the others. But still...Mr. Chad is a good man, and they are good people. This is why...despite the circumstances...I am one of them."
"Circumstances?" the older inquired, and her small became a sad one.
"Well...I am a former princess," she brushed a loose strand of hair from her eyes, "I...have actually encountered the Zangyack previously. They have destroyed my planet...and I fled alone. Mr. Chad found me with the others, and they made me one of them. I want to find the treasure...in order to restore my planet. The reward of it is greater than the entire universe."
"I see..." he nodded slowly, pitying the small girl instantly, "but...you seem like a strong fighter."
"Not really," she chuckled, getting a bit flustered now, "I mean...I am trying to keep up with them all, but it is hard. In the beginning...I was good at nothing. I couldn't fire a gun straight, or lift a sword...or anything like this. And yet they didn't leave me. This is why...I know that they are good people."
The former Red smiled and patted her shoulder, "Delaney..."
"Delaney!" Danny suddenly burst in, "the Zangyack are here!"
"How annoying," Pirate Blue grunted as he slashed at the second Scourmin with his buddy, "why are they here?"
"Who knows?" the cocky blonde kicked 'his' down as Lilliac, Danny, and Delaney rushed onto the scene, beginning to fight the enemy.
Suddenly, there was a bright blue flash that didn't belong to the first mate. Everyone, even the Scourmin, looked to see Theo standing there in his Jungle Fury suit. Lilliac gasped first, glaring deadly at him and kicking 'her' Scourmin away easily.
"How the heck did you get that?!" she demanded, and he smirked a bit.
"You let your guard down," he held up the Red and Yellow Jungle Fury keys, and she felt her back pocket, anger instantly overcoming her.
"You better take that back!" Pirate Yellow swung at his face, and the former Jungle Fury Blue ducked to avoid it and did a sideways spin to get behind her.
She backflipped and caught him in the jaw, but not before he grabbed the keys without her realizing it. Before she could notice, Danny came back with Delaney, telling them they were under attack.
"You little..." she instantly lost interst in the Zangyack and tackled him.
"Fight the Zangyack, you idiot!" he hissed, pushing her off and starting for the Scourmin she'd abanded on the ground.
"Idiot?!" she pulled out her key now, eyes fired up with pure rage, "Pirate Raid: Go!"
She was instantly clad in her pirate suit, and she pulled out her sword, slashing for his back and getting a direct hit. Rolling over from where he was on the ground, he kicked her feet out from under her and accepted her silent challenge for a battle.
"What are you doing, Lilliac?!" Joe groaned loudly, noticing the two going at each other's necks when they were supposed to kill off these stupid Scourmin and leave, "ugh, never mind."
Telling her to calm down was like telling fire not to be hot...
"What did they ever do to you?" suddenly, a form came down, being transported from a ship...no, it was two forms.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Chad demanded, having them all already finished off the Scourmin and now the only battle going on was the one between Lilliac and Theo.
"I am Taylor and she is Primlily," the redhead smirked evilly, "and we are here to show you stupid pirates who's boss."
Primlily just smirked as two green power orbs formed in her hands, "Hey, sis! Pay attention!" She hurled the two power balls at Lilliac, and the two's equal, pointless battle ended then.
"What did you just call me?" the older girl demanded, gripping her sword and gun and aiming both at the young evil girl.
"Don't you remember?" and that's when it hit Pirate Yellow.
"You...you can't just leave us here!" Lilliac barked angerily towards her older brother...not that she would ever refer to him as such if he did what she thought he was about to do.
"Sure I can. Besides...it doesn't matter. You can take care of her on your own," he shrugged, opening the door and putting his middle and pointer finger together, resting them on the side of his forehead to wave goodbye easily and cooly, like leaving his family didn't faze him at all.
"Get back here!" she barked, starting to after him before her little sister's wail reached her ears from where she was hiding under the table.
The middle child sighed loudly and rushed to her younger sibling, glaring as the person she used to love left them behind for good.
"No way..." the older female whispered, dropping her weapons in surprise, "Primlily?"
And that's when the the power orbs exploded at either side of her.
Author Note: Oh no! Poor Lilliac :( There just may be more to Primlily than we expected...
R and R, and I'll update faster! Promise!
