Adam and Tyzonn
by
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
Adam groaned as he applied the heating pad to his back. Veteran Ranger indeed! How Tommy and Jason were able to get through their Red Ranger mission in one piece was beyond him. He didn't know that both former Red Rangers had ended up in the same hospital room in traction the very next day.
Adam frowned. Speaking of Red Rangers no one gave him credit for bringing Alpha Back. No, they just kept praising that Red Ranger of theirs for getting some stupid sword that turned their ghost knight into a Machine Empire reject. What was it about Red Rangers and their ability to get all the glory? No wonder Billy had gotten fed up enough to run to another planet.
"Hey!" called Tyzonn as he peeked into the room Adam had been using during his stay at the Hartford mansion. "The others are almost ready to go. We're all going to gather in one room in about ten minutes so we can pretend to be sad you're all leaving when in reality we have a major...uh...bash planned to celebrate getting our powers back from you ...uh...what was it Rose said? Oh, 'Power Purloiners'." Tyzonn had yet to learn when honesty really wasn't the best policy.
"Oh, really?" asked Adam as he shoved the heating pad under a pillow. "Tyzonn, is it? And you're from Mercury?"
"No."
"Isn't it very hot being so near the sun? How do you keep from being burnt to a crisp? Well, aside from your burned out brain that is."
Tyzonn's face darkened. "I...am...not...from...Mercury!" he shouted emphatically. "I am from Mercurion. How many times do I have to tell you stupid Earthers that?" There was no way he was going to spend another three hours explaining where he came from like he had to do with Dax...then Ronny...then Will...then Mr. Hartford.
Adam stared at the now-seething alien. "Wow, I haven't seen a freaked out space man since Trey of Courage and Trey of Wisdom had played this prank on Trey of Heart that somehow ended with him popping up in the middle of our last Ranger Reunion naked with a gigantic gold 3 painted on his chest." He narrowed his eyes. "Wait, were just telling me that you ingrates think we stole your Powers?"
Tyzonn grinned innocently. "Oh, no, not me. I'm just an alien, new to your ways. They're the ones who..."
"Drop that act, Buddy," snapped Adam. "You said 'we'. Besides, Billy told me all about that innocent alien pose. Did you know that Cestro is actually the boss of Aquitar's version of the Mafia?"
Tyzonn dropped the fake grin. "Fine, yes we are happy to see your thieving asses out of here."
Adam jumped up from the bed he had been sitting on. "Yeeeeooowww!" he yelled as he jarred his already sore back.
"Oh, is that an Earthen war cry then?" challenged Tyzonn. "Well, two can play at that game!" He began to jump around in circles, wave his arms, and howl in a high- pitched voice: "Doodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodee
doodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodee
doodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodeedoodee...!"
"Knock that off, you lunatic!" shouted the usually calm Adam. "We came here to help on the request of some invisible knight. I had to leave my precious dojo in the hands of a guy who spends half his time chasing skirts and the other half saying he can't work because of his old back injury. Never mind that I saw him doing back flips to impress yet another girl just the other day."
Tyzonn shrugged disinterestedly. "Yeah, well, we all found out how you five bribed the Sentinel Knight to cause our powers to disconnect from the grid after our next loss so you could...what did Sentinel quote Bridge as saying? Oh so you could 'Eventually rule the Universe both in the present and future and finally make toast that didn't burn.' Amazing what one can accomplish with the threat of a welding torch."
"No, way..."
"But, I did find it odd that it only took a marshmallow, peanut butter, and anchovy pizza to bribe him, or that Xander knew what to bribe him with."
"Oh, please, are you really going to believe some rust bucket over honorable Rangers?" Adam asked desperately. Darn, now he was out five bucks for his share of that disgusting pizza.
"Rust bucket!" came another voice. Alpha entered into the room. "Ayiyiyiyi, Adam! I thought you liked me better than that!" The robot began to cry.
"No, Alpha," began Adam. "I wasn't talking about you, I....Yeeeeoooowww!" he screamed as Alpha head butted him in the middle of his back.
"Forget about me going with you to be a stunt double for R2D2! I'm going to go to the Megaship to give Andros a piece of my mind for jamming me into that crate after the Red Ranger mission! No, better yet! I'll go resurrect that Frax guy and get him to help me lead a robot revolution against you unappreciative jerks!" With that, he wobbled out of the room and slammed the door shut.
"Ohhhhhhhh," moaned Adam. And to think he had once thought it funny to place all of Rocky's snacks out of reach when his back was bad.
Tyzonn held back a smirk. "Well, I'd better go get ready for that..." he sniffed the air. "Fire!" he yelled as he spotted the smoking pillow.
"Oh!" cried Adam realizing that he had forgotten about the heating pad. "I'd better go unplug..."
"Fire! Fire! Fire!!!" Tyzonn ran to the door and jiggled it, only to realize that the angry droid had jammed it closed when had slammed it. "We're trapped!" he wailed. "Help! Help! Help! Help!" Tyzonn shouted over and over again, unaware that Dax had started the loud party music prematurely so that no one could hear his cries.
Adam sighed as he finished smothering the smoking pillow. "It's alright. I put it..."
"The fire's going to melt me! Oh wait, I can already melt. I can slide right under that door!" With that, Tyzonn turned into his mercury form and flowed towards the door. THHHHWWWWPPPP! "What the...Hey! Get me out of here!" he shouted.
Adam studied the jar he had scooped the other Ranger into. "No, I'm going to just leave you on the shelf here. Or maybe I'll just mail you to the nearest experimental lab. You'll be one less in the way of us getting to take over the Universe both in the present and future!" With that, Adam strode out the door jar in hand.
AN-Yeah the ending sucks again. Oh, well.
