A/N: Sorry for the delay. But I got distracted with my other Kaylee stories. Now that RPM is airing, I can start writing that ( I can't wait till you guys read it), and I was redoing the Once A Ranger team up, which will be coming up soon. But Once a Ranger is being a real pain. It's writing itself and all, but because of Kaylee's ties to a huge majority of the seven Rangers coming back, I had to add a lot of stuff. It started out as a three parter, but then grew to four. When I realised that four parts wasn't going to be enough, I decided to add five. The stupid me forgot that the Overdrive Rangers needed to get the sword, and that the Retros had to get Alpha to fix the grid, so I had to add two more parts. So now Once A Ranger is a seven parter and will not be found in this story. I'm going to make a new story just for it, so look out for it!
But the real reason I haven't updated, is because I'm not a fan of this little Tyzonn arc, so I was not motivated. But I decided not to keep you guys waiting, and I kicked my own ass to write. Turns out, this was actually kinda fun to write. So hopefully once I'm done posting I'll work on the next chapter.
Anyways, if you guys want more information about the Kaylee series, check out my profile. It's got a little information on all the main stories, posted in chronological order. Now I'm going to shut up and let you get on with the reading.
Read and Review!
After saying goodbye to Dustin, Kaylee was in the game room with Ronny, Dax and Will, listening to Mack talk about his new sonic streaker, which his dad was finishing up for him in the lab downstairs.
"And did I tell you it can reach Mach 2 in less than thirty seconds?"
"Only about thirty times," Will whined, hiding his head in his pillow.
"Oh, lemme guess, the superthruster boost the speed to Mach 3 in less than a minute?" Ronny asked, pretending to be excited, but the boredom was evident in her voice. Mack nodded happily.
"How did you guess?" he asked.
"It just came to me," Ronny frowned. "About thirty times."
"They're just jealous, Mack," Dax smiled, putting his arm around Mack's shoulder. "I think the sonic streaker sounds slamming!"
Rose walked into the room, holding a parchment in her hand and a smile on her face.
"Good news, team. I think I made some progress in figuring out how to read this parchment!"
"Don't tell me," Ronny smiled. "You looked it up in the alien-to-english dictionary?"
"No," Rose smirked. "But I called a colleague at the university, professor Ryan. He's a total genius when it comes to languages and codes. I'm going to take him the parchment to see if he can figure any of it out."
"Sweet, can I come along?" Dax asked enthusiastically. "I've never been to jolly old England!"
Rose looked up at Dax and smiled.
"Sure."
"Hey, why don't you take your boyfriend along too?" Will suggested. "He can tell you all about the sonic streaker!"
"Great idea!" Mack smiled, wrapping his arm around him girlfriend's waist, unknowingly holding her captive as he started talking about his pride and joy. "Check it out, the main turbines can generate over one thousand horsepower, oh, depending on the altitude and air density..."
As Mack and Dax lead Rose away, Ronny and Kaylee exchanged high fives with Will.
"Finally, some peace and quiet!" Will smiled, leaning back on the couch to get some sleep.
VROOM!
BEEEEEEEEEEEP!
"You're going down, sunshine!" Kaylee yelled.
Will opened one eye and saw Ronny and Kaylee had set up the game station to race. He groaned as he got up and went to his room.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
Mack, Rose and Dax returned home from England, but unfortunately, professor Ryan could not help them with the code on the map. But that couldn't dull Mack's spirits.
"GUYS! You'll never guess what I just remember about the sonic streaker!" Mack called excitedly as he walked into the game room. He saw Ronny and Kaylee were playing a game, so he tried to shut it off. But Kaylee, never taking her eyes off the game, picked up Karly from her pillow and gave her to Mack.
"Talk to the cat," she said. "Nascar over here is kicking my tail!"
"But..."
"Cat, or I kill you because you turned off the game," Ronny threatened.
"Hey Karly, you understand Mach speeds, right?" Mack asked the cat. Karly looked up at him, insulted that he would disturb her sleep. She hissed at the red Ranger and jumped out of his arms. "Alright, we can talk on the couch..."
MEOW!
"Nevermind..." Mack frowned, backing away from the angry kitty.
"DUDE! Moltor ruined the game!" Kaylee frowned as the TV turned into a monitor, showing the Rangers that Moltor had unleashed a monster in the city.
"Power Rangers, there will be more destruction if you don't bring up the parchment. I suggest you do it before anyone gets hurt."
"More destruction?" Kaylee asked. "He's attacked us before? I don't remember him."
"In England, we had a little run in with the Bull," Mack explained.
"No one has to tell me twice," Ronny smiled. "Anyone mind if I take the Transtek?"
Ronny looked around the room and smiled when she saw no one object, granted only Kaylee and Mack were in the room, but it was good enough for her.
"Go for it, Ronny," Kaylee smiled. "I'll alert the others. C'mon twinkle toes," Kaylee called after Mack.
"Twinkle... what?"
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
As the Rangers arrived in the middle of the city, they tried assisting the civilians out of danger. Bullox was destroying everything in sight, but what was really strange was that his monster friend was trying to stop him.
"This way!" Rose called, helping a man up and showing him the path to safety. "Come on!"
The two monsters laughed when they saw a woman trip and fall. The second monster looked up and saw a mass of concrete falling from the building above her. He ran forward, hoping to get to her in time.
"NO!" he yelled, reaching his hand out. The woman looked up at him in fear and screamed for help. For her, it was either be captured by the ugly monster, or squished by falling cement.
She was saved when a mechanical arm reached out and grabbed the cement, right above her head.
"That was a close one," Ronny, in the Trantek, sighed.
The monster reached out to the woman and grabbed her shoulder.
"Hurry!" he warned her. "Get out of here!"
He noticed the woman was screaming for help, and tried to calm her down.
"Hey, it's okay, I won't-"
"Get away from her!" Ronny yelled. The monster looked up and saw the yellow Ranger was aiming her blasters at him. He let go of the woman, allowing her to run away, before seeing Ronny had her blasters charged up. The yellow Ranger waited until the woman was out of sight before blasting the alien.
The monster was thrown back by the blast, and landed a few feet away from Bullox. Bullox walked up to him and helped him up.
"Enough, Rangers!" he called. "You know what we're here for!"
He pointed to Kaylee, who was holding the parchment in her belt.
"Give it to me!"
"Say please!" Kaylee smiled, holding out the parchment.
"Tyzonn!" Bullox yelled to his friend. "Get it from her!"
The second monster, Tyzonn, nodded as he walked forward.
"Give me the parchment," he asked, but it didn't sound like he actually wanted it. To Kaylee, and Mack, his words sounded forced. Like he was being pressured to do something he didn't want to do.
"You have to say please, first," Kaylee told him.
"What?"
"Say please. You have to be polite for people to do stuff for you. So you won't get the parchment until I hear a please and a thank you."
"Tyzonn, grab the parchment!" Bullox yelled.
"Ah, what do you say?" Kaylee frowned.
"Give it to me!" Tyzonn yelled.
"No, you forgot your manners; it's please and thank you. Do you need help?"
Kaylee grabbed Tyzonn around the mouth and moved his jaw.
"Please and thank you," she made the monster say. "See just like that."
"Enough of this!" Bullox yelled, running forward, lowering his head so his horns would hit his target.
"NO!" Tyzonn yelled, jumping in front of Kaylee and taking the hit from Bullox. The evil alien flew through the air before landing on the ground, clutching his arm, which was oozing green blood. Tyzonn looked down at his arm before getting up and running into the large forest.
Mack looked from Tyzonn's shrinking form, to Kaylee and the two leaders nodded before running after him.
Ronny saw her two friends follow the alien and frowned.
"Dax, where are they going?" she asked the blue Ranger.
"I don't know, Ronny," Dax frowned.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
"Hey, Tyzonn!" Mack called as he and Kaylee reached the river, where they saw Tyzonn cleaning out the cut on his arm. The Red Ranger reached out and touched Tyzonn's shoulder, causing the monster to jump up in fear, bringing his arms up defensively. "Whoa... hey, listen, we're not going to hurt you."
"And I don't think you want to hurt us, right?" Kaylee asked. "You tried to save that woman, I saw you! And you jumped in front of your own ally to save me... you don't want to hurt people, do you?"
"It doesn't matter," Tyzonn frowned. "If Moltor finds out I don't have the whole parchment, I will be eliminated!"
Kaylee looked down at the parchment in her hands. She felt bad for the alien; he seemed genuinely friendly, just misguided. But she had seen her fair share of betrayal. She knew better than to trust monsters.
"So, we both need the whole parchment, but neither of us are willing to budge," she said softly. "So we both lose."
"Ronny's not going to be happy," Mack smiled, lightening the mood. Kaylee giggled as she looked up at the Red Ranger.
"What is this document?" Tyzonn asked, pointing to the parchment, "Why does everyone seek it?"
"Wait, you mean you don't know?" Mack frowned, looking down at Kaylee, confused.
"It leads to a jewel of the Corona Aurora," Kaylee explained.
"The Corona Aurora has been found?" Tyzonn asked, raising his voice in shock.
"Yeah, here on Earth," Mack smiled. "Now Moltor, and every other evil thug in the galaxy are coming after it!"
"But if Moltor gets the jewels... he'll use them to crush everything that's good on all planets!" Tyzonn said.
"Not if we can stop him," Kaylee said, reaching out and touching Tyzonn's scales. The alien looked a little startled at her touch, but didn't pull away. "If you're really not like those other freaks, then give me the rest of the parchment. Please."
"I... I can't," Tyzonn sighed. "Moltor would have my head... he'd-"
"We'll protect you from Moltor!" Kaylee promised. "Please. Our friends are fighting Bullox, we can't play tug-a-war with you all day. I promise you, in our hands, the parchment is safe."
"Your friends are no match for Bullox," Tyzonn told the two.
"Which is why we need to go!" Mack said.
"Please, Tyzonn..." Kaylee looked into the monster's eyes and smiled. She wasn't afraid of him, like everyone else Tyzonn had met on earth. The way she smiled, made Tyzonn feel normal again. It felt like she could see through the scales and right to his heart.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
"AH!"Dax and Ronny yelled as they too landed on the ground, beside Will and Rose. Bullox smiled as he approached the fallen Rangers.
"That was easier than I thought!" he laughed. "Moltor will be pleased when I eliminate you!"
"STOP!"
The four Rangers looked up and saw Tyzonn jumping out from the forest, only to stand in front of them protectively.
"Don't hurt them anymore!" Tyzonn yelled.
"Tyzonn, what are you doing here?" Bullox asked, ignoring Tyzonn's pleas for peace. "Do you have the rest of the parchment?"
Ronny looked around, noticing that Kaylee and Mack were both missing. She felt a lump in her throat when she imagined them dead in the forest. Her stomach turned when she saw Tyzonn reach for something in his little bag.
"No," Tyzonn bowed his head as he held up his small piece of the parchment. "And I won't get it for you!"
"What?" Bullox frowned.
"I won't get it!" Tyzonn repeated, with more passion and confidence. "I can't be a part of this anymore. I've made a big mistake."
Tyzonn fell to his knees as he slowly realised what he's done.
"Yes, you have."
Tyzonn looked up and saw Moltor materialized before him. Tyzonn stood back up, so he was face to face with Moltor.
"Moltor, this destruction has to stop!" Tyzonn yelled. "I don't care about our deal! I won't help you anymore!"
"I see," Moltor frowned. "Well, here's what happens to traitors!"
Moltor grabbed Tyzonn's injured arm, his fingers digging into the cut as he pulled down, ripping open. The Rangers finally noticed the green blood dripping from his arm, something they have never seen a monster do before. Tyzonn screamed in pain before the Red and Green Rangers appeared and kicked Moltor away.
"Drive defender!" Mack called, bringing out his sword, slashing at Moltor while Kaylee pulled Tyzonn away.
"You okay?" she asked. Tyzonn nodded, turning back to the fight.
"Forget Moltor," Kaylee told him, grabbing his head with her hand and turning it so he was looking at her. "We have to get you out of here!"
"O-okay," Tyzonn nodded, following Kaylee into the forest. Mack noticed the two leaving and pulled off his helmet, he smiled to his team before following Kaylee and Tyzonn.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
Tyzonn sat down on a boulder, holding his arm as he and Kaylee waited for Mack to join. Kaylee noticed he was in pain and remember her new powers. Healing. Maybe she could help him.
"Tyzonn, we heard you scream from the forest," Mack called, approaching the two. "Are you okay?"
"It seems even with these hideous scales, I'm vulnerable to injury. Moltor would have finished me off if you hadn't saved me. I owe you my thanks."
"I'm Mack," Mack smiled, shaking Tyzonn's hand. Though the scales hurt, Mack didn't let it show. "And this is Kaylee."
Kaylee smiled.
"Who are you, Tyzonn?" she asked. "How did you get here?"
"I was once called Tyzonn," Tyzonn explained. "But I don't deserve a name... I've brought shame to my planet by bowing to Moltor's will."
"Hey, we all make mistakes," Mack smiled.
"Yeah, like setting up my sister and Blake," Kaylee frowned, shuddering at the thought. "I don't know why I thought that was a good idea."
Tyzonn looked over at the blonde in confusion. Mack caught it and laughed.
"It's a long story," he laughed. "Don't worry about it."
Tyzonn nodded, rubbing his cut. Mack noticed and ripped off a piece of his shirt, then wrapped it around Tyzonn's arm.
"Thanks," Tyzonn smiled. "Now, if you'll trust me, I'd like to make amends for the harm I've done. Moltor must be stopped."
Tyzonn pulled out his piece of the parchment, that he had stolen from Rose, Mack and Dax when they were in England, and gave it to Kaylee.
"Alright!" Kaylee smiled, putting the two pieces together as they magically join together.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
Moltor and Bullox had run into the forest not long after Mack had left, allowing the Rangers to examine the blood from the monster.
Will got down on his knees and put some of the green blood on his fingers.
"Is this stuff alien blood?"
Dax touched some of it, to get it on his fingers. He smelt it and cringed, flicking it off his finger.
"Yep, it's alien blood alright," he said. "It smells rank."
"I don't get it," Will frowned. "Why would Moltor be fighting one of his own?"
"I don't know," Rose sighed. "But that thing could be even more dangerous now that it's injured..."
Will put a comforting hand on Rose's shoulder as the pink Ranger thought of one of her best friends, and her boyfriend, alone in the forest with the alien.
"Okay, we've got to find Mack and Kaylee and get them away from it," Ronny ordered. The others nodded, following her lead. With both Mack and Kaylee gone, someone needed to take charge.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
"Can you read these symbols?" Kaylee asked, showing the map to Tyzonn.
"No. This language is unfamiliar to me," Tyzonn sighed.
"Then I guess we should head back to the base," Mack suggested. He turned around, hoping to head home, but saw a group of lava lizards walk out from behind the tree.
Kaylee noticed the little monsters as well, in front of her, beside her and behind her.
"Or, we kick lizard ass, then go home!" she smirked.
