Learning More about the First Horse
"Cyrus! Why did you bring us back?" Rory asked.
"Maybe because you were going to die." Cyrus informed.
"We were fine." Chase sighed rubbing his head.
"No ya weren't. Famine still had some more arrows he was going to use on all of you." Cyrus told them.
"So? We could've beaten him. We would've found a way." Shaun replied.
"No, you're wrong again. You guys were forced to de-morph after a single arrow. In your de-morphed forms how long do you think you'd all last?"
"Not too long when you put it like that." Zan sighed.
"Exactly. You guys stand no chance against Famine without a game plan." Cyrus told them.
"So have you found anything on how to defeat him?" Megan asked.
"I didn't discover anything new, but I did make an observation." He replied.
"Which would be what?" Chase asked.
"His arrows. His strongest weapon is his greatest weakness."
"What do you mean? Last time I checked those arrows forced us to de-morph. Remember? You just said it yourself too." Zan pointed out.
"I know, as strong as they are they come in numbers. Just like everything else. Everything comes in numbers you guys. Don't you get it?"
"Get what exactly?" Megan asked.
"If a gun can run out of bullets then a bow can run out of arrows." Cyrus told them.
"Okay I get it." Chase nodded, "You're saying he can't shoot us down forever."
"Exactly!"
"Meaning that when he runs out we can take him on one on one." Shaun nodded.
"Or more like one on five." Megan corrected.
"Which is exactly what we need!" Said Rory.
"If we can get that close to him then we might be able to pull it off." Zan nodded.
"Problem though." Shaun sighed, "With his speed it's nearly impossible to dodge all his arrows. I mean we tried to destroy as many as we could, but it was amazing how many there were. We don't know the limit to his arrows."
"Which is our major disadvantage." Chase agreed.
"So how do we find out how many he has?" Megan asked.
"Somebody would have to take the fall." Cyrus pointed out.
"Meaning what?" Rory asked.
"Meaning that someone owuld have to be bait for his arrows. One of you guys is going to have to draw his attention and take on all of his arrows while the others prepare to take him on. This is going to take an immense amount of endurance."
"Unless we are able to dodge his arrows." Zan pointed out.
"Which, like I said, is nearly impossible." Shaun replied.
"Maybe as a group since we all move as one. If one of us goes it alone and draws his focus out then maybe it might be easier to dodge." Zan told them.
"Makes no sense, it'd be easier to dodge them all as a group." Rory informed him.
"Rory's got ya there Zan." Chase agreed.
"Then at the same time it just might work." Cyrus told the Rangers, "As crazy as it is, crazy can work. You are the Psycho Rangers after all."
"Wow...good one." Chase chuckled.
"Thanks, but yeah Zan. Sounds like a plan, now we just need to find out who's fast enough for that." Cyrus told him.
"I am." Zan replied, "In my Werewolf mode then I can increase my speed and avoid his arrows. Then you guys can come in when he finally runs out."
"But what happens if he forces you to de-morph?" Rory asked.
"Easy.." Zan smiled, "I morph up again."
"Which will take alot out of you. Meaning everytime he hits you you'll have to re-morph." Cyrus explained, "And so far it appears Famine never misses."
"Which sucks big time. He can also shoot multiple arrows at a single time." Shaun nodded in dissapproval.
"So what?" Zan shrugged, "I can handle them all. I mean how fast can the monster be? His hands are no faster than my feet."
"You sound mighty confident about this Zan." Megan sighed.
"Yeah, I'm positive about this. So you guys down for this?" He asked.
"Your guys call." Cyrus sighed looking at the other Rangers.
"I think it's too risky." Rory nodded.
"I agree." Shaun nodded.
"Me too." Megan told them.
"What? Are you guys serious? Don't you trust me?" Zan asked.
"We do Zan, it's just we don't want you to risk your life for this one Reaper. We'll find a way to beat him down as group." Shaun replied.
"That could take forever. This seems to be the fastest way! Come on, just let me try it!" Zan begged.
"No." Shaun replied.
"Sorry Zan." Rory told him.
"Not happening." Said Megan.
"Chase?" Zan looked at Chase, and so did the other Rangers.
"What?"
"It's your final decision I'm waiting on." Zan told him.
"Why? Seems like everyone's already made their decision about what they think is best for you."
"Then why aren't you in this?" Zan asked.
"Because I don't believe that you need me to tell you yes or no. Whatever you want to do Zan is fine with me. I'm not going to stop you. If it means killing off this stupid arrow shooting walking garbage lifeless walking dead Reaper I'm okay with it."
"Really? So you're giving me the okay with this plan?" Zan asked.
"I'm giving you the I don't care." Was the Red Ranger's response.
"Well then what do we do?" Megan asked.
"Whatever it is you better think fast." Cyrus told them, "Famine is looking for you guys and is not happy with your recent escape act."
"That's technically your fault." Shaun told him.
"And you're welcome that you're still breathing." Cyrus replied.
"So what's the plan?" Rory asked as she turned to Chase.
"Zan...you're on. Do as you wish. I'll follow your lead."
"Right." Zan nodded, "Thanks."
"It's no problem. Alright you guys..." Chase looked at his fellow Rangers and smiled, "time to get crazy."
Next Time: Time for round two with Famine! Will the Rangers plan go through? Will they be able to defeat their first Reaper?
