A/N: I wrote this on short notice, and so far I wasn't very impressed with it. I wanted to update really bad this week for you guys.
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers, and the creators own their Ranger.
More snow had begun to cover the California cost-line city, covering now a good three inches of the dead grass. The small quiet town, sans the monster attacks, was already in the Christmas spirit. Many lights decorated the city, and a large tree had been set up in the downtown historic part.
Lew sat on the snow covered bench, as he watched his fellow Rangers skate around on the ice rink. As soon as the other had discovered that Nathalie had never been ice skating, they quickly took advantage of their day off. Lew and Kennedi had opted to sit out this activity. Kennedi had left in search of something warm to drink, and promised to bring something back for Lew.
Lew himself was not much of a skater. Although he was one for getting down and dirty, the result of growing up on a farm, Lew much less didn't enjoy the feeling of falling on his butt on the cold ice. Nathalie didn't blame him, she found out quickly how hard it was. Lew laughed, as the fearless Red Ranger fell for the umpteenth time, as Jet skated circles around her. Nathalie reached over and grabbed her hockey stick, tripping the Black Ranger. Lew couldn't help but smile, as he watched his friends skate around, making fools of themselves.
The Blue Ranger sighed, shaking his head, as he turned his attention back to the book he was reading. He was determined to finish it before winter break, because he didn't want to spend his vacation reading, rather helping his father in the large auto shop he owned. Lew and his family were originally from Wales, but moved here when a rich businessman offered his father a higher-paying job here in the United States. So, the family packed up what they owned, and moved to the California city.
"Hey Lew, how's it been," A small brunette boy asked, taking the seat next to Lew. The boy was no older than twelve tops, and had a large black coat covering his body. He was covered from top to bottom in snow gear. "I haven't seen much of you lately, where'd you been?"
"I've been busy with school," Lew said, looking off towards his fellow teammates. He was starting to get cold, wondering where Kennedi was with his hot drink.
"School?" The boy asked, scrunching his nose. "Yuck! Oh, you'll never believe it! I saw the Power Rangers the other day, they are so cool! I've wanted to tell you that. They are just like the ones in all of the comic books. Have you ever seen them in action?" Lew's head snapped at the younger boy's comment.
"A few times," Lew said, shrugging. "Which one is your favorite?"
"The black one dah," The boy said, laughing, His cheeks were rosy and red. "Well the red one's a girl, so that rules her out. But, I also like the blue. He seems really smart, kind of like you."
"You think so," Lew asked, raising an eye brow. He kicked a patch of snow with his black boot, and shook his head to get some of the access snow off. It fell off of his blue hat, onto the little boy. The boy groaned, brushing the snow off.
"I think he could be your twin. You know, I want to be a Ranger someday!" The boy said, jumping up and down. Suddenly the two turned around at the sound of screaming citizens. There, six Rangers walked through downtown, destroying anything in their path. To the normal human eye, they looked like exact replicas of the Olympian Ranger. But, to the true Rangers, there were plenty of differences. The Olympian Ranger's suits colors where brighter, while these had an almost black tint to them. Also, the Olympian Rangers had white accents, while they had black.
"Jack, Get down!" Lew shouted, pushing the boy down under the bench. The boy didn't budge, only to instead move around Lew to get a closer look at the Rangers.
"What are they doing?" Jack yelled, upset. "They're the Rangers! They're to save us, not hurt us."
"Jack, get down!" Lew shouted again, pushing the twelve-year-old behind him. The other Rangers on the ice had seen the commotion, and were quickly trying to shed their ice skates. Kennedi choose now to show up, dropping the two cups of hot chocolate to the ground, staining the snow brown. Lew's stomach growled as he got a whiff of the sweet aroma of hot chocolate.
"So this is Olympia Heights," the black evil Ranger said, laughing as he swung his sword around. "Pathetic!"
"Stop right there!" Jet yelled, running towards the evil Rangers. He made quick work of his skates and boots, and was the first one done. The others weren't too far behind him.
"Is it safe to morph?" Kennedi asked, jogging up beside Nathalie and the others. Lew was still occupied with getting Jack to safety. Nathalie quickly looked around, searching for any stray civilians who could see them morph. Most had already evacuated the area or had gone into hiding. Nathalie nodded to Kennedi, and she brought her morpher up to her chest.
"Olympian Force, Protectors of Earth!" the five Rangers shouted morphing.
"Ah, Rangers. So good oh you to join us," the orange evil Ranger said, while flipping her daggers around in her hands.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but, there's only enough room for one team of Rangers here!" Jet shouted, drawing his Olympian Sword.
"That's why we're here," the yellow Ranger shouted. "We are the Roman Rangers, the true Rangers."
Jet ran forwards towards the Black Ranger, his sword clashing with the evil Ranger's. Roundhouse kicking the evil Ranger, Jet managed to kick the other Ranger's sword away. The evil Ranger lunged, reaching for his sword. Rolling to the ground, he grabbed the sword and flipped back up onto his feet. Making quick work, he hit Jet twice in the stomach, sending the Olympian Ranger through a shop window.
The Orange Roman Ranger threw her dagger towards Kennedi. Jumping up, Kennedi just barely missed the attack. The dagger skimmed her left leg, leaving a slight tear in Kennedi's Ranger suit. Kennedi crouched down onto the ground and placed her hand onto the cement. Suddenly, a group of thick green vines busted up, throwing cement in all directions. Before they could reach the Roman Ranger, more vines busted through the cement. They easily pushed Kennedi's vines aside, and found their way around Kennedi's waist. They smashed the Olympian Ranger into the ground.
Nathalie ducked, dodging another punch. On the ground, she tried sweep kick the Red Roman Rangers feet from out from under her. The Roman Ranger knew the attack was coming, and quickly jumped up. She grabbed an arrow from her belt and lunged at Nathalie. The Roman Ranger pinned Nathalie down. She tried to stab Nathalie, but the Olympian Ranger moved her head just in time for the arrow to instead break through the cement.
"Hi-ya!" Charley shouted, as she kicked at the Yellow Roman Ranger. The Roman Ranger caught Charley's foot, and then flipped Charley over. Charley landed with a thud onto the cement. Groaning, she quickly flipped herself up just in time to avoid the lunging Roman Ranger. The Roman Ranger's fist flew into the cement, leaving a small dent. Quickly, the Roman Ranger reached into her utility belt, and grabbed her blaster. She turned herself around and fired at Charley. Charley flew backwards onto a patch of ice, and slipped, falling to her back.
Bryce quickly jumped away as another blast of white light flew towards him. The blast just missed Bryce, and instead flew into the tree behind him. Bryce quickly sent a blast of white light back towards the Green Roman Ranger. The Roman Ranger jumped, and the light instead hit Jet in the back. Jet groaned and fell forward onto his knees, demorphing along the way. Bryce quickly tried to make his way to his fallen teammate, momentarily forgetting about the evil Ranger. With Bryce occupied, the Roman Ranger jumped at the Olympian Ranger. The two rolled to the ground, the Roman Ranger on top. The Roman Ranger made quick work of his sword, and placed it on Bryce's neck.
"I spy with my little eye, an umorphed Blue Ranger," The Blue Roman Ranger said, as he quickly tracked down Lew and Jack. Jack looked at Lew confused, but Lew only responded by pushing Jack behind him.
"Leave him out of this!" Lew shouted. Not thinking clearly, he jumped towards the Roman Ranger. "Run!" He shouted, towards Jack, who hadn't moved. Lew struggled with the Roman Ranger. The two were each trying to overpower the other with their strength. The Roman Ranger quickly over powered Lew though, and pushed Lew to the ground. The Roman Ranger stepped over Lew, and straddled the Olympian Ranger.
"Olympian Force! Protectors of Earth!" Lew shouted, bringing his free hand up to his chest. A bright blue light surround him, and pushed the Roman Ranger off. The Roman Ranger teleported himself over to Jack though, before Lew finished morphering. Lew quickly drew his Olympian Hammer.
"One move and the boy dies," He said, his arms wrapped tightly around Jack's head. Lew threw his hands into the air, and tossed the Roman Ranger his hammer. "Good Ranger," The Roman Ranger looked over to his fellow Rangers, who had all finished up with their respective opposite. "Time to go, I got what we came for, leverage." The Ranger teleported away, taking Jack with him.
"No!" Lew shouted, demorphing. He ran towards the spot where Jack once was. Frustrated, he punched the ground. He grabbed his head with his two hands and let out a frustrated groan, before kicking the bench next to him.
The Rangers sat around Olympian Ops, each nursing their injuries. Lew was the least hurt, and was busy trying to track down Jack. He was using both the computers and his advanced ability, but nothing was being picked up. Lew pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt a headache coming.
While Lew worked on searching for Jack, Nathalie worked on healing the other Rangers. So far, Charley's back and Kennedi's leg both had been healed. She was currently working on Jet burns from Bryce.
"Ouch!" Jet yelled, pushing Nathalie away. His leg was scorched with burns, and he was in a lot of pain. Bryce repeatedly said sorry to him, guilty of what had happened.
"Sorry," Nathalie mumbled, readjusting her hand on his arm. She herself was still injured, but was waiting until Jet's burns were healed before she moved onto herself.
"Woo! What's going on here?" Lew panicked, as his screen went completely back. "No, no, no, no!" He quickly typed on the key board but nothing came up. Frustrated, he banged down on the key board, repeatedly pushing down on one key. The computer beeped back at him, with each button he pushed.
"What happened?" Charley asked, as she took the seat next to Lew. She tried to log on, but had no luck. Everything was shut down, and not turning back on.
"Someone just hacked me," Lew said, angry. He grabbed the main system and started to shake it. "This isn't possible, no. I can not be hacked!" He stood up, causing his chair sliding across the floor.
"Calm down, we can fix this," Charley said, trying to get the agitated Blue Ranger to sit back down. Suddenly, up on the main screen, the six Roman Rangers popped up. They were all still morphed.
"Hello Rangers," The red female said. They appeared to be in a cave of some sort, and in the background, the Blue Roman Ranger could be seen with Jack. Jacks hands and feet were bided, and duck tape covered his mouth. "I am Diana, the Roman Goddess of the hunt."
"Ya, well we didn't appreciate the civilian you took with you," Jet sneered, rubbing his burns.
"Give us Jack back, and no harm will be done to you guys," Nathalie, negotiated. She walked up next to Lew, whose hands tightly gripped the table.
"Ah, you see it isn't that easy," Diana said, pretending to file her fingers. "I believe a trade is in deal. We'll give you the boy back, but you must hand over one Ranger. You have one hour." The screens quickly blacken, and Lew had full control of the computer again.
"What are we going to do?" Charley asked, looking at the others.
Trivia: The Roman Rangers are a future generation of the Psycho Rangers. Unlike the Psycho Rangers, the Roman Rangers are created more obedient and to work together. They are programed to learn the Olympian's fighting way, and were created in the Underworld by Hades, who stole the idea from Astronema.
