Chapter 5
Backup (following Leo)
"Rangers series red and green, series gold and pink are in trouble," Dr. K said through the communicator. Leo and Joel abruptly shifted from their leisurely patrol pace to the adrenalin heavy run into battle when they heard the call from Dr. K. The two rangers ran up to the scene of Jason wriggling around on the ground holding his arm trying to stop the bleeding, and Jen in battle ready power suit trying to fight the darkest monster Leo had ever seen. Leo looked to Joel, they gave each other an unspoken go ahead to morph up and join the battle. "Ready!" Leo said lifting his wrist to expose his morpher. "Ready!" Joel excitingly responded. Their choreographed motions lined up with the voice activation: "Maximizing the power of micro!"
"Series red, ready!"
"Series green, ready!"
The respectively colored suits of morphtastic proportions engulfed the muscular frames of the rangers. Energy waves surged through Joel and Leo's bodies as the nanites bonded the material with the bio hardware. Ah, the feeling of being in a suit again is so wonderful. I missed this. Too bad it has to be in such dreadful circumstances. These things are powerful though. I have never been in a suit like this, Leo thought.
Joel rushed over to Jason to block the monster from the injured ranger. Jen kicked the monster forcefully back while Leo rushed up to help her out. Jen, Leo, and Joel fought the monster off valiantly. They worked together like one kick ass machine. Joel would swing a punch and Leo would slam a foot into the monster as it lashed back. One after another the rangers took their turns striking the monster. It barely had time to attack before someone else would put another hit in. Just then the monster set out a burst of energy causing the rangers to go flying in all different directions. Leo looked at the rest of his team, and then back at Jason still on the ground. He knew it was time to end this monster it was time to call out the weapons. However, before he could call out his weapon Jen had beat him to it.
"Summoning lightning staff!" Jen yelled as a metal rod with a pink hande appeared in her hand buzzing with pink electricity around it. Leo looked at it thinking I guess Dr. K is a fan of Star Wars because that looks like a pink lightsaber. Leo called for his lightning staff, which looked just like Jen's except with red buzzing all around. Jen and Leo slashed and zapped the monster with everything they could, but it didn't seem to be having any effect on the ugly. Jen was knocked to the ground and the monster was about to step on Jen, but Joel swooped in with his lightning staff knocking the monster over. Joel zapped the monster while he was down and that is the last thing any of them remember as everything went black.
Leo woke up in a dark room, hands chained above his head, and a familiar voice calling out to him. He blinked his eyes rapidly to adjust to the dim lighting. He felt dizzy and had a headache like the worst hangover in history. He could hear the voice calling to him, but was so distracted by the pain in his head and throughout his whole body that he couldn't focus hard enough to figure out who it was let alone what they were saying.
"Leo! Leo! Are you awake? Leo!" the voice cried out
"Jason? Is that you?" another more feminine voice responded.
"Jen! Can you see Joel? I can only see Leo." Jason asked.
" Yes, I can see Joel and Leo, but I can't see you" Jen responded
"Can you two be quiet? I am trying to get over this massive hangover" Joel said agitatedly.
"Joel! You're awake!'' Jen said.
"Good to hear your voice buddy" Jason added
"Yeah yeah. What happened where are we?" Joel asked"
"I don't know. I don't remember anything past you zapping that monster." Jen replied.
"Well either we are in serious trouble or we are gonna be" said Joel.
"Can anyone get out of these chains?" Leo said
The four rangers struggled at their chains grunting, pulling, tugging screaming out of frustration and pain. By the time they stopped struggling their wrists were bloody, and still chained. They had all basically given up trying to break free when they heard footsteps. It sounded like they were coming closer. The footsteps echoed in the dark room and only got louder as time went by. "Everyone stay quiet, whoever it is they want us alive. Do not tell them anything not matter what happens" Leo commanded. They could hear the keys jingle and thunk of several large locks being shifted to make way for the man behind the footsteps. The door slid open and bright lights flooded through the dark room blinding the rangers till their eyes adjusted.
"Hello rangers, nice to see you again" A familiar voice said
"What is happening?" Leo said timidly
"Well look at your wrists, they are all beat up. I think we should bandage them up before they get infected" the voice said gently, 'Amebas! Help our ranger friends."
Quick Author's note:
I know it has been a long time with updates but hopefully I can get back to writing consistently. I will be making small editing changes to the chapters that are already up so hopefully there won't be anymore grammatical or spelling errors.
