Chapter 7
Grimjor Strikes Back
"Come on out and face me Rangers." Grimjor said on the monitor.
"If it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he gets. Come on B-Squad." Said Jack.
"I'm coming with you." Said Zek.
"Be careful Rangers, we do not know what he's capable of." Said Doggie.
"We'll take our chances." Said Jack as and the rest of the team left the command center.
Doggie touched his chin with his finger and thumb.
"Do you it's a good idea to send them out there?" asked Kat.
"I don't know." Said Cruger.
A while later the Power Rangers arrived in the city amidst the chaos of citizens running for their lives. The Rangers took their fighting stances as Grimjor approached them.
"Well if it isn't the mighty Power Rangers." He said.
"We're here to take you in." said Sky.
Grimjor smirked and told them. "Give it your best shot."
"Ready!" Jack yelled taking out his morpher.
"Ready!" his team yelled.
Zek took his morpher from his shoulder. Grimjor fired a blast at the Rangers
"S.P.D.Emergency!"
"Alpha Power!"
The blast detonated in the background as the Rangers stood without flinching. Jack flipped open his morpher the SPD badge lit up and shot out of the morpher in bright red. A flurry of flames surrounded the Rangers each in their respective color. The flames spun around the team as the morphed into the Power Rangers as their helmets came together and their visors flipped down covering their faces. The Rangers jumped high in the air out of the firestorm and dropped in to attack Grimjor. The Troobian prince was ready for them with his scythe drawn the Rangers they dropped in on him from all sides with their swords and blasters drawn and attack him all at once. Grimjor with a swing of his scythe knocked them all back and went to take on Jack by himself. The Red Ranger was ready for him with his Delta Blasters drawn he blocked Grimjor's scythe with the underside of his blaster and punched the Troobian prince in the side sparks flew as he staggered back. Jack did a side kick knocking him back even further. Sky and Bridge attacked him with swords drawn. Grimjor struck Sky's midsection with his scythe. Bridge jumped over him and fired an energy blade from his DeltaMax Saber. The emerald energy wave hit the ground in front of Grimjor sent him tumbling across the floor.
Jack launched himself into the air over Sky's shoulder and fired his laser pistols at Grimjor. By this time Grimjor had enough and deflected the beams with his scythe and sent them back at Jack knocking him out of the air. The girls got in on it and tag teamed Grimjor with their swords. Grimjor blocked the blades with his scythe and swung knocking both Syd and Z to the ground. Zek jumped over them and swung his Silverizing taking Grimjor on all on his own. The Troobian blocked the weapon and got Zek across the chest with his scythe. Zek staggered back a bit. But it wasn't enough to stop him as he got back in there only to be struck again by Grimjor. He came after him a third time Grimjor grabbed his blade and his armor picked him up and threw Zek over his shoulder. The Kayoian landed with a thud as he struggled to get up. Grimjor lifted up his foot to step on Zek only to have him roll away to safety. Grimjor's foot smashed the concrete where the Silver Ranger once lay. Zek got to one knee but was kicked in the chest by Grimjor. He flew for several yards before crashing into some potted plants that lay against a stone wall next to a staircase. Grimjor fired a blast from his scythe; Zek scurried to get out of the way barely dodging the laser blast that destroyed the wall. Grimjor powered up his scythe dark purple energy flowed through the blade. Grimjor swung and struck the ground with his scythe that cracked the pavement and sent out a crushing energy wave towards Zek with little time to react. The balcony gave and with it sent Zek crashing to the ground several stories below.
"Zek!" yelled Jack.
"No!" yelled Z.
Jack held out his arms and in a flash of blinding red light RIC appeared in cannon mode. Grimjor turned around in time to see Jack fire at him. The blast caught him off guard but did nothing more than throw him off balance. Jack fired again and sent Grimjor flying through the air. While this was happening Z and Sky went down to check on Zek. The Blue and Yellow Rangers jumped off what was left of the balcony and landed to find him lying on a pile of rubble.
"Zek are you all right?" Z asked.
The Silver Ranger groaned as they helped him up. He rolled over and landed face down. Sky and Z squat down to help him up.
"I've had better. Did anybody get the number of that truck?" he replied.
Zek dropped to his knees once again exhausted his teammates caught him.
"He's going to pay for that! Stay here, I'm going after Grimjor." said Sky.
"OK." Said Z.
The Blue Ranger jumped to the top of the balcony to rejoin the battle. Jack still had the Canine Cannon aimed at Grimjor and was moving in on him. Grimjor fired an energy blast from his hand at Jack throwing the Canine Cannon in the air. Grimjor sprung to his feet and raced towards Jack with blinding speed slashing the Red Ranger repeatedly across the chest and back as he raced past him. Jack dropped to his knees the Canine Cannon dropped out of the sky and into Grimjor's hands.
"No!" yelled Jack.
"Now let's see how you like it!" he said firing the rifle.
Sky raced to save Jack but they were both caught up in the blast and propelled through the air. Grimjor held the cannon at his side as Syd and Bridge jumped in. Grimjor flipped the cannon backwards across his shoulder and fired without even looking Syd and Bridge were caught in the blast and knocked flat. Grimjor turned around to see them lying on the ground and taunted him as he carried the rifle.
"Leave…them…alone." growled Zek.
Grimjor turned to see the Yellow Ranger holding up the Silver Ranger.
"And what are you going to do about it?" he asked.
"You ready?" Zek asked Z.
"Oh yeah!" she yelled.
"Do it!" he yelled.
Z ran towards Grimjor like she was the fastest woman alive. Grimjor aimed but did a back flip kicking the cannon out of his hands. The cannon flipped through the air distracting him long enough. Zek fired his blaster at Grimjor nailing him in the chest. Zek then ran towards him and flipped through the air with a skull smashing roundhouse kick smashing his right ankle into Grimjor's brow knocking him flat on his back. Zek dropped and Z landed beside each other. The Canine Cannon landed 20 feet away from Grimjor without sustaining any damage.
"Nice one Zek!" said Z.
"Thanks Z!" he said.
By this time the rest of the team had regrouped around Zek and Z.
"Good job." Said Jack.
"Great job Zek!" yelled Syd.
"Nicely done!" said Bridge.
Sky stepped in front of the other Rangers to face Grimjor. The cracks on his skull were beginning to heal.
"You're coming with us!" Sky pointed and took out his morpher to judge Grimjor.
"Don't count me out just yet Blue Ranger." He said.
Sky stepped forward undeterred by his comment and activated his morpher.
"Judgment!" he said.
The badge flipped open and went into Judgment Mode, a giant timer ticked down as an "X" and a "O" flashed back and forth scanning the Troobian prince and judging him for the crimes he committed. Buying Grimjor the ample time he needed to recover from his injuries when the scanner finally flashed "X" Grimjor saw his opportunity to strike. Sky went to activate the morpher's containment function. As it sent out a plasmatic blast Grimjor picked up his scythe and blocked it sending it right back at Sky and found himself captured within his own card.
"Sky!" yelled Syd.
"Hey! What the?! Let me out of here!" Sky yelled.
"I don't believe it!" said Jack.
Grimjor blasted the card with his scythe and sent it flying high into the air with Sky screaming. The Rangers looked on as he flew helplessly through the air.
"I got him!" Yelled Jack.
The Red Ranger jumped up to grab him, but Grimjor intercepted him and took him out. Grabbing Sky's card and taunted the Rangers. Zek grabbed him from behind and tried prying it from out of his hands. But at the same time was close to ripping Sky's card in half and could be heard screaming as they tried to pry it out of each other's hands.
"Hey! Hey! Guys take it easy! Ahh! Your killing me! You're going to rip me in half!" he yelled.
"Sorry Sky!" Zek said.
"Sorry? I'm going to show you sorry when I get out of here I'm going to kick your…ow! Hey! Ow!" Sky yelled.
"That's enough!" Jack said reaching for his morpher.
"S.P.D. Battlyzer!" he cried.
RIC reactivated and resumed his canine form launching the Magna Morpher from the compartment in his back.
"Cyber Mode!" Jack said pressing a button.
The stage one Battlyzer armor responded covering everything but his chest. And I mean everything. Jack swung his sword with the SPD lettering in the background.
The Red Ranger ran towards Grimjor and Zek energizing his sword and striking Grimjor in the back. The Troobian Prince staggered a bit but maintained his grip on Sky's card. Jack swung his sword repeatedly striking him in the back and sides many times before he finally wrangled lose the card.
"No!" yelled Zek.
Jack jumped in the air delivering a powerful kick in the chest. Knocking Grimjor back several steps. Jack spun sideways in the air with his sword drawn and came close to striking Grimjor a second time but was met with a spinning kick and was cartwheeled to the ground. Jack got up refusing to give up. He went after him again. Grimjor fired an energy blast from his hand. Jack counters it with his sword before casting it off to the side. While they were both distracted Bridge flipped through the air and snatched the card out of Grimjor's hand thrusting himself off the Troobian's shoulder and landed safely behind him to the Grimjor's shock.
"Nice one Bridge!" yelled Jack.
Grimjor stretched out his arms and fired energy blasts at both of them sending both Rangers to the ground. Bridge took out his morpher and freed Sky from his containment card. Sky was restored to normal height in his civilian form.
"Thanks Bridge. Now I know how they feel." Sky said.
"Anytime." Replied the Green Ranger.
Sky then turned his attention to Grimjor his face drew up into a scowl.
"This one's all mine." He said reaching for his morpher.
"S.P.D Emergency!" he called.
The morpher flipped open revealing his bright blue badge turning him into the Blue Ranger. The morpher activated once more as he converted to SWAT Mode.
"You honestly think you stand a chance against me?" Grimjor asked.
"Guess we'll to find out. DeltaMax Saber V2!" Sky said calling upon his weapon.
Pointing his sword at the Troobian Prince the Blue SWAT Ranger charged Grimjor at breakneck speed. Grimjor fired a bolt of lightning from his hand hitting Sky in the chest. And was swept off his feet and hit the ground hard.
"Sky!" yelled Syd.
The Red Ranger got to his feet.
"All right I've had enough of this. Its time to finish it!" said Jack.
RIC was once again at Jack's side as they ran towards Grimjor. The Red Ranger and the robot canine rocketed into the air as they entered the second stage of the Battlyzer. The robot canine transformed into a heavier suit of armor that fitted over Jack's chest and legs while the head and backbone formed the giant red sword the Battlyzer's primary weapon. With the transformation complete Jack spun around showcasing the armor.
"Sonic Mode!" yelled Jack.
Wasting no time Jack powered up his saber. His sword and visor glowed bright red and swung his weapon bringing it to full power.
"Fire!" he yelled.
Jack spun and launched himself into the air. RIC barked as they flew up. Coming out of the turn he held the sword over his left shoulder and swung the blade releasing all of its energy on Grimjor. The atomic energy blade flew out of the sword bombarding Grimjor with all of its might. A second wave decended upon him but it didn't work. The energy blades hit the ground triggering a massive explosion behind him but Grimjor came out of it unscathed. Jack dropped out of the sky and brought his massive blade down on Grimjor, but the Troobian prince caught the sword with his hands and kicked Jack in the chest breaking the sword in half and fired a concentrated energy blast at close range. Jack was thrown back by the powerful blast having breached the armor and triggering a massive explosion giving Jack no chance of escape. The massive fireball swallowed him whole as his team looked on in shock. Surprisingly their leader survived but his Ranger powers were completely destroyed as the remnants of his Ranger costume were held by his ruined cadet uniform underneath, the entire left side of his Ranger suit was sheered off and supported by the right shoulder with his ripped shirt and tattered jacket underneath with large rips in the knees of both costumes. The Red Ranger crawled with the last of his vanishing strength. His Ranger helmet was cast aside. Half of the mask had been destroyed and a small section of it was on fire. The rest of the B-Squad quickly gathered around him in order to protect him from Grimjor.
"We have to get out of here." Sky took out his morpher.
"Commander teleport us now!" he yelled.
The 6 Rangers became beams of light and flew back to the Command Center. Materializing inside the base Kat quickly attended to Jack laying on the floor.
"What happened to him?" she asked.
"Grimjor destroyed the Battlyzer." Said Sky.
"My God I've never seen anyone like this!" she said.
"We have to get him to the infirmary." Said Sky.
A few hours later Jack lay in a hospital bed on oxygen. Finding it hard to breathe Jack removed his mask and breathed freely.
"Hey welcome back to the land of the living." Said Sky.
Jack looked up and saw his team standing around him.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Grimjor destroyed the Battlyzer and nearly destroyed you. He fried your Ranger powers as well." Z explained.
"Its good to have you back." Said Doggie.
"Good to be back. What do you mean he fried my powers?" he asked.
"When you were hit by the blast your Ranger costume was completely destroyed." Explained Cruger.
"Lucky for you we have several backup morphers should something like this ever happen." Said Kat.
"Like the time I was kidnapped." Added Bridge.
"What about RIC?" asked Jack.
"Boom is in the process of rebuilding him. His repairs are 90 complete." Replied Cruger.
"Kat and Boom have worked round the clock putting him back together. I helped some." Remarked Bridge.
"You going to give him another upgrade?" asked Jack.
"Of course, what's the point of rebuilding him if we weren't going to give him another upgrade?" asked Bridge.
Jack chuckled at his friend's remark. Doggie rested a hand the Red Ranger's shoulder.
"Get some rest, you'll need It." He said.
"Thanks Commander." Said Jack.
Author's Note: Due to an apparent lack of reviews the last chapter. I'm guessing its because I didnt include an author's note at the beginning and end. I decided to update this fic again over the weekend, I have to say I had a lot of fun writing this new chapter which sets the stage for what I have planned in the next chapter. Let me know what you think guys, please I really appreciate everyone's input on this. You may notice that the A-Squad didnt appear in this chapter which is not something I really planned. So I'm asking you, what should become of the A-Squad. What did you think of this chapter over all? Come on guys, I really want to hear what you think.
