Dissidia: Power Rangers
Episode 7: Two on one!!!??? The Rhino Ranger demonstrates the skills of the Animal Spirits!!!
"Lumis, you are currently losing"-said Umbra.
"Nothing more than a minor setback,"-replied Lumis.
"Five of your warriors have perished. I have lost but two. You call that a minor setback?"-asked Umbra.
"I call that a good chance for a comeback,"-she said
Meanwhile…
Dominic faced down Lothor and Zen-Aku. His eyes are focused, his teeth are clenched, the grip o his Rhino Blade is strong. He dons his Ranger suit, but if one were capable of looking through the visor, they would see a fiery gaze, like one from a War vet.
Dominic places one foot in front of the other, his left arm is behind him, forming a fist, whilst his right arm holds the Rhino Blade in front of him. Lothor smirks, clutching his katanas whilst Zen-Aku prepares for a strike using his Lunar Saber.
"Piss off"-says Dominic- "Both of you."
Lothor does not like the use of vulgarity.
"Boy! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth!!!???"-he says in a rage. Zen-Aku, however, just stands there, battle ready.
"Lothor, stay on your guard,"-he warns.
"Young man, I do not appreciate such language! Now, retract what you have said, or else I shall hand you a spanking!"-says Lothor. Dominic just stands there, ready for battle.
"So, I guess even evil has some standards. Still… look at him. This is my friend, Trent. He just died, killed by my enemy. And here I was, MOURNING him, and you two come up all over my face!!!"-a green surge of energy suddenly exits Dominic's body. Only Zen-Aku notices, but he is not worried.
"Well now, I see you've been given a second Animal Spirit,"-says Zen-Aku- "Course, that will do you no good. You need to train yourself before you can ever even comprehend its use. Right now, you are just like a scrub that's been given a Hatori Hanzo Sword."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!"-Dominic lunges forward. He swings his Rhino Blade, charging up some chi so that he may create a slicing wind attack. Lothor, however, jumps up, and lands a knee kick square at his back. Dominic is pinned to the ground, creating a small indent in his shape on the stone ground. Zen-Aku places his boot on top of his head.
"I told you, I do not like foul language!!!!"-Lothor says angrily.
"Ha ha ha, it is just as I said. You are nothing but a scrub,"-says Zen-Aku- "Look at you. All that talk, all those stink eyes. All for nothing."
Dominic, beyond angry, summons his chi and creates a miniature explosion around him. Lothor and Zen-Aku are sent flying back a bit, Lothor himself suffering a singed leg.
"Ow! Darn it… so, the foul mouthed boy has a trick or two up his sleeve, huh?"-says Lothor- "this is over!"
He takes his katanas. He rushes toward Dominic. Suddenly, he is flanked by two copies of himself. Dominic, however, is unimpressed. He charges his Rhino Blade, and creates a slicing wave of chi, which he fires at Lothor and his copies. As the real Lothor is rescued by Zen-Aku, his copies are sliced in half by the chi wave.
"Where is all this chi coming from? His attacks are far too advanced…"-says Zen-Aku- "It takes a Master to create such an advanced technique. And its level of power is far too great. His Rhino spirit could not be that powerful…"
Dominic's body is now surrounded by a green wave of energy. As green lightning bolts cackle around him, a surge of green chi emits from his back.
"My goodness… he could not have… he has…"-says Zen-Aku- "He has mastered the Green Falcon spirit. Who the hell are we dealing with here?"
Dominic's body is surrounded by green chi waves. He sees Lothor and Zen-Aku. He lunges towards them, his Rhino Blade in hand. However, the green chi afforded to him by the Green Falcon gives him an extra surge of power. So, even when Lothor and Zen-Aku manage to evade his powerful slicing attack, the force of his landing sends a massive shock wave. So massive, in fact, that the plateau now sports a large crack in it's surface over nine inches wide.
"He is now far too powerful for us… Lothor, go find the other Warriors of Umbra, and tell them the Rangers have a new secret weapon,"-says Zen-Aku- "I believe that, with some planning, we can still win this war."
Dominic sees them once more. His chi is beginning to focus on his left hand. Suddenly, a massive green crossbow in the shape of a falcon materializes in his hand.
"Find the warrior called Diabolico. He'll know what to do,"-says- Zen-Aku, saber in hand.
"Shoot. Listen, Zen. I take orders from no one. I'll do this…as a favor,"-says Lothor. He leaves. Zen-Aku smirks.
"He might have been a fool… but at least he's dependable,"-says Zen-Aku.
Dominic looks at the crossbow in his hand. His body, however was still emanating green energy. It was beginning to mix with his White chi from the Rhino spirit. He looks at Zen-Aku, who is rushing towards him. Dominic takes the crossbow, aims for Zen-Aku.
The crossbow fires its feather shaped bolt at blinding speed. The bolt creates a highly unpleasant sound as it streaks through the air. As the bolt pierces Zen-Aku's heart, he lets out a small grunt. As it travels through his insides, he stops in his tracks. As it pierces his lungs, he begins to regurgitate green blood. As it exits his body, he falls back.
Dominic stood over the fallen warrior's body. Though his eyes are full of hate, fixating on his thirst for revenge, he cannot help but notice that the fallen warrior's body was changing. Now, instead of the wolf org, he was now a young man.
As Merrick draws his last breath, Dominic's eyes abandon their hate, their bloodlust, their thirst for revenge. They have now only regret. Dominic clutches his new crossbow, the instrument he used to murder a young man.
"No… bro, I'm sorry…"-he says, as tears escape his ducts…
Meanwhile…
"Look, Umbra. Another of your warriors has been struck down. Further, it appears that one of mine has acquired a massive power,"-says Lumis, quite pleased with herself.
"Yes, he has an amazing power at his disposal. He also has an emotional burden in his heart,"-says Umbra…
