DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own subplots and characters you don't recognize. Reference to "On Fins And Needles". There are some lines from the episode that had the Shark Cycles' debut (though I can't remember which ep it was).

"What's going on?" Tommy asked.

"Rita's sent forth another monster!" Alpha exclaimed as the scene came up on the viewing globe.

"That's the lake," Trini noted.

"Who are we fighting this time?" Katherine wondered.

"It is Speedtron," Zordon answered.

"I take it his name means he's incredibly fast," Adam surmised.

"Not only that, but he can evaporate the Earth's water supply in a matter of seconds and also has quite a poisonous sting," Alpha added. Adam blinked as Speedtron ran to the other end of the lake in half a second.

"He's faster than the Slippery Shark!" Jason gasped. This is not good! We could barely catch the Slippery Shark! There's no way we can catch this thing unless I used Lightning, he thought to himself.

"Aw man, how do we catch something like that?" Tommy wondered.

"I could use Lightning," Jason offered.

"No. You wouldn't want him to get hurt," Katherine protested.

"Fear not, Rangers. Alpha and I have a surprise for you outside," Zordon stated. Confused, the teens looked at their mentor as the robot pressed a few buttons on the console and then headed out, his friends right behind them. To the Rangers' surprise, ten sleek motorcycles in each of their colors came roaring up.

"Whoa!" the Rangers breathed.

"These are your new Shark Cycles made from the technology of a prehistoric shark. They are lightning fast and can fire lasers at your opponents if needed," they heard Zordon say. These are really cool, Tommy thought, his eyes glazing slightly as he stared at his green and white cycle. Seeing this, Jason bit down a chuckle as he elbowed his friend in the side. Tommy looked at Jason and shrugged, grinning sheepishly.

"All right, guys. Let's go fishing," Jason said.

"Yeah," the others agreed.

"It's morphin' time!" Jason shouted.

"Drago-Tigerzord!"

"Raptor!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" As soon as they were morphed, the Rangers leapt onto their motorcycles and headed for the lake. When they got there, Speedtron had just drained the lake dry. With a low growl, the Brown Ranger pressed a button on her motorcycle's handle bars and a beam shot out at the monster and struck him, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey! What gives?" Speedtron shouted. Then, "Ah! Rangers!" Without warning, his fingers became claws that became detachable.

"WATCH IT!" the Rangers swerved in different directions as the claws came at them. The Red and Green and White Rangers pulled out their swords and deflected the blasts. The Pink Ranger pulled out her Power Bow and fired, only to have Speedtron duck out of the way as the arrow landed harmlessly in the sand. Speedtron laughed and detracted his claws again. This time, the Rangers were hit and cried out in pain as they tumbled from their bikes. Man, it's like I'm on fire. I can't move, the Red Ranger thought to himself. Speedtron laughed and advanced on the Rangers as they tried to rise to their feet. Come on! Get up! the Purple Ranger encouraged herself. Speedtron shot at them again, resulting in pained cries as they were once again hit. On the moon, Rita laughed.

"YES! I LOVE IT! THE RANGERS ARE DOOMED!" she celebrated. "NOW TO CRUSH THEM! MAGIC WAND, MAKE MY MONSTER GROW!" The scepter came crashing down on the Earth. Electricity crackled and Speedtron roared as he felt himself become bigger. The Rangers looked at him in horror.

"This is not good," the Pink Ranger said. They all tried once again to rise to their feet, to no avail.
