Chapter 16: Celebrate with Fireworks

It was Fourth of July in Boardman and their different groups of people were getting ready for to set off their fireworks into the air. At Z's house, Z's older brother, Derrick, invited friends from both Columbus and Boardman to celebrate this holiday.

The sun was already setting and Derrick and his friends decided to set off a few bottle rockets.

At this time Z walked out of the house to see his brother lighting a few bottle rockets in a empty beer bottle, "Is it already time to launch the rockets?" Z asked.

"Of course Chris," Derrick replied not noticing that his foot knocked over the bottle with the lit bottle rockets, "Pull up a chair and watch."

"Sorry Derrick, But I'm going to hang out with some..." before Z could finish his sentence the bottle firework went off and flew towards Z, but luckily Z was able to get out of the way.

Everyone was silent until they started to laugh, even Z was laughing. "Okay like I was saying, I'm going to hang out with some of my friends," Z said, "Almost all the high school students are going to be at Boardman Park for a fireworks display."

"Alright have fun," Derrick said, "And be safe."

Z got in his car and started to pull out, "You too!" Z shouted.

Then Z started to drive. "Aren't I always?" Derrick asked as he lit a spinner. He tossed the lit spinner at his friend's foot and shouted "Dance puppet! Dance!"

Z soon arrived at the park and hurried over to an open meadow were the large group of high school students were gathered. Z then wondered around and saw some his friends from BHS, and soon ended up running into the other Rangers, "Hey guys," he greeted.

"Hey Z," Paige was the first one to greet Z.

"How's it going?" Emile asked.

"It's going alright," Z replied, "Just got out of the house before my brother and his friends start lighting their fireworks."

"Are you sure that you wanted to be here then celebrating this with your brother?" Haley asked.

"I'm sure," Z replied, "I'm going to be in Poland for two weeks. I rather hang with my friends till I leave." Then noticed that Chris wasn't around, "Chris still doing the thing for Alpha?"

"Yeah, but we're hoping that he'll make it back before the fireworks start," Tyler said.

Chris was at the research center at the bottom of the Atlantian Sea, Chris, in his power suit and helmet off, was pacing around waiting for the information from the research center to upload to a device that Alpha gave him.

"Out of all the Rangers, I ended up as the one with a aquatic Zord," Chris said to himself as he looked at the screen again to see that it needed more time. "Damn."

On the moon Zedd and Rita looked down at Earth with confusion. "Just what are those humans doing?" Rita asked.

"What's going on?" Rito asked.

"Those humans are gathering in places an watching fireworks going off," Zedd explained.

"It must be the 4th of July," Goldar answered.

"The day that America became a free nation," Scorpina added.

"Freedom," Rita said with disgust, "Humans don't deserve freedom! They should be bowing to us by now! But no Zordon and his Power Rangers won't let us!"

"I agree sis," Rito said, "But you have to admit that the fireworks are fun." Then Rito pulled out a roman candle, "Check out what happens with this little thing," Rito said as he lit it. Soon a red flare flew out and passed near Zedd and Rita. "Sorry!" then with careless aiming the colored flares flew in different directions.

When it was over, Rita let out a screech, "Rito you idiot, what the he..."

"That's it!" Zedd interrupted.

"What? We already know that Rito's an idiot," Rita stated.

"I mean that little firework flew around and did small damages," Zedd explained, "With a rocket we can do some real damage to the Power Rangers!"

"Oh yes Zeddy I love it," Rita said, "And with all those rockets the Rangers won't know what hit them."

"How about we use set of fireworks to make a monster?" Zedd said, "And the Shadow Ranger's older brother won't mind."

Zedd then pointed his Z-staff at Earth and a lightning bolt fired and snatched half of Darrick's fireworks.

"Um Derrick," Derrick's friend, Bobby, started, "Where are most of the fireworks?"

"What do you mean?" Derrick asked.

"Half the fireworks went missing," Bobby pointed out.

Derrick was confused, "How do fireworks disappear?"

"Maybe Lord Ed used them to make a monster," Bobby mocked.

At the Command Center, the alarms were going off, "Ayeyaiyai! Zedd unleashed another monster!" Alpha said.

"Alpha, put it on the viewing globe at once," Zordon said.

Soon on the viewing globe it displayed a monster made of boxes of Phantom Fireworks and its head was a tube for mortars. "Oh no, Zedd made a monster out of fireworks!" Alpha pointed out.

"Quick Alpha contact the Power Rangers," Zordon commanded.

Back in the park, the new monster walked up to the men who were getting ready to launch the fireworks. "Hey guys," it said, "Need some help?"

The men turn to see the monster and ran off, "Cowards!" it shouted, "Oh well, I think the people will enjoy my fireworks display."

On the other side of the park where the Rangers were at, their Communicators went off. The Rangers wondered away from the crowd of people to answer, "What is it?" Tyler asked.

"Rangers, Zedd had unleashed a monster and it heading your way!" Alpha said.

"Greetings humans!" the monster shouted, "I am Firecracker, you entertainment for the evening!"

"We see it," Tyler said to his Communicator, "It's Mophin Time!"

"Shadow!"

"Turtle!"

"Phoenix!"

"Serpent!"

"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"

"Lion!"

"Dragon!"

People were running out the meadow, until they saw the Power Rangers had arrive, "It's the Power Rangers!" a person shouted.

"Listen Firecracker, we all know that you were send by Lord Zedd to defeat us, but it's best for you to retreat," Tyler explained.

"Oh you pitiful Rangers I'm not like the other monsters. Watch this," Firecracker said as he pointed his arm at the Rangers.

Then bottle rockets flew out and towards the Rangers.

Are you ready?
Time to make your move..

Luckily the Rangers were able to dodge the attack.

Come and get me..
You'll fall, that will prove.

Emile and Haley got back up and tackled Firecracker.

And ya think you're gonna knock us out?
Well we know what you're all about,

Emile and Haley were holding Firecracker back, Paige took this chance to kick it.

I say you better just look out,
Cuz we're..coming for you..today..

Firecracker the shook Emile and Haley off of it.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
It's time to rock 'n roll!

Then it fired roman candles at the two Rangers, making them fall down.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
Everybody rock 'n roll!

Jon and Brittany jumped into the air and tried to kick Firecracker.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
It's time to rock 'n roll!

But Firecracker caught them and tossed them to the ground.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
Everybody rock 'n roll!

"Try this Rangers!" Firecracker shouted as it leaned forward and fired a mortar.

Do you want to take our world by force?

The mortar landed near the Rangers and made a purple explosion that knocked the Rangers down.

We won't let you complete that evil course.

Soon Firecracker was kicked from behind, knocking it down to the ground.

And ya think you're gonna take us out?
Hey hey! Ya got it all figured out!

"You guys miss me?" Chris asked.

I say ya better just look out,

"Good to have you back," Tyler said as Firecracker got back up.

Cuz we're...gonna stop you...today...

"That's cheating!" Firecracker shouted. Then Z charged in and punched it.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
It's time to rock 'n roll!

Tyler did a low kick that tripped Firecracker.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
Everybody rock 'n roll!

Then the Rangers jumped into the air to deliver the final blow.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
It's time to rock 'n roll!

But Firecracker was able to get out of the before the Rangers could finish it off.

C'mon and let's rock 'n roll!
Everybody rock 'n roll!

"Sorry to leave you like this Rangers, but I think it's time to 'restock' with an old friend," Firecracker said as it teleported away.

With the monster gone, the citizens of Boardman were coming out and were trying to get close to the Rangers.

"Zordon, Firecracker got away!" Tyler said.

"I know Tyler," Zordon said, "Alpha is tracking the monster right now."

"Ayeyaiyai! Z the monster is heading for your brother and his friends!" Alpha said.

"Come on guys, we need to hurry!" Z shouted as the teleported away.

Back at Z's house, Derrick and his friends were launching fireworks. "You had a nice collection of fireworks." Everyone turned to see Firecracker.

"What the hell is that?" one of Derrick friends asked.

"I think that's a monster sent by Zedd," Derrick replied.

"Well actually I was made from half of your collection of fireworks," Firecracker said.

Soon the Rangers appeared in front of Firecracker, with their Power Weapons ready, "Get back!" Tyler shouted, "We'll handle this monster."

"You think you can stop me?" Firecracker said as it picked up a unused rocket, "You can't stop this!" Firecracker tossed the now lit rocket at the Rangers. Chris was able to deflect the rocket and knocked into the air.

"Nice try," Chris said as the Rangers got ready to fight Firecracker again.

"You can't defeat me!" Firecracker shouted as it charged at the Rangers.

Jon fired his guns while Brittany fired an arrow at Firecracker, hitting it.

Paige then lashed her whip as well as Haley who tossed one of her daggers to Firecracker.

Emile and Chris then jumped into the air and stroke Firecracker with their weapons.

Then Tyler and Z charged at Firecracker and stabbed it with their swords, making it fall backwards.

"I'm not finished yet Rangers!" Firecracker shouted as it got back up. Unknown to anyone the rocket that Chris deflected fell back down and landed in Firecracker's head. "What was that?" it asked. Soon the rocket went off and destroyed Firecracker's head.

"Okay guys let's finish this thing off!" Tyler said.

"Right!" the other Rangers agreed.

"Power Axe!" Emile tossed his axe in the air.

"Power Bow!" Brittany tossed her bow and it became one with the Power Axe.

"Power Whip!" Paige tossed her whip and it attached to the bottom of the Power Axe

Go Go Power Rangers!

"Power Lance!" Chris broke his lance into two smaller ones that attached to the bottom of the Power Bow.

"Power Daggers!" Haley tossed the Dagger that attached next the Power Lance.

Go Go Power Rangers!

"Power Guns!" Jon tossed his guns and they attached to the top of the Power Bow.

"Power Sword!" Tyler jumped up and grabbed the blaster and placed his sword on the top. When he landed the other Ranger lined up by his side

Go Go Power Rangers!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

Z charged at Firecracker, "For safety," he said as he punched Firecracker high into the air.

"Power Rangers fire!" they shouted as they fired seven beams in their seven colors at Firecracker.

Go Go Power Rangers!

The beam hit Firecracker head on.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Firercracker's explosion turned out to become a very stunning fireworks display

Go Go Power Rangers!

You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

"Wow, that was amazing," Derrick said, then he turned to the Ranger, "Thank you Power Rangers."

"No problem," Tyler said, "It's what we do."

Then the Rangers teleported away. "Boy Chris might get upset when I tell him that the Rangers were here," Derrick said to himself.

"How did my monster fail?!" Zedd shouted.

"You just gave it a hollowed head!" Rita stated.

"Hey you do need to admit that it's explosion was cool," Rito pointed out.

"Shut up!" Zedd and Rita shouted.

Back at Boardman Park, the fireworks display was going great, even if they were behind schedule.

"So Chris learned something from the data you got for Zordon and Alpha?" Brittany asked.

"Well the only thing I learned about the Dawn Ranger that there were five of them and each one was from a different world. There was Dolphie the Blue Ranger from Aquitar, Canry the Pink Ranger from Mirinoi, Crono the Yellow Ranger from a world known as KO-35, Mecha the Green Ranger from Triforia, but then they had no information on their leader, the Red Ranger," Chris explained.

"I wonder why?" Jon asked.

"Who knows," Tyler said, "But one day we might know who the Red Dawn Ranger was."

A/N: I know it's December, but I'm sticking with the time line in the story, so a Christmas chapter won't come in until later. So how do you think of the four Dawn Rangers names and words.
