Chapter 23: Rangers Go Hollywood
After a few hours of flying in a plane, the Rangers, with Courtney, David, and Matt, finally arrived in Hollywood, California. "Oh finally we are off the plane," Courtney said as she did a small stretch when she walked out of the gate.
"At least we rode in first class," Haley said as she and the others passed the gate.
"Shall we get our bags?" Chris asked. The group went to the baggage pickup and got their luggage that they brought for the trip.
Then head for the lobby to see a man holding a sign that said ' H. Crossen.' They approached the man and the man started to speak, "You must be Haley, the contest winner. And these must be your friends that you invited to come."
"That's correct," Haley replied.
"Well I am you limo driver," the man said, "I'll be taking you are to your hotel." The man then led the group outside to a black limo where they loaded their luggage and got into the limo and started to drive through Hollywood and passing though the landmarks in Hollywood.
Later the group arrived to their hotel room, and they amazed of how nice their room was. "Now this is something," Tyler said.
"I know, I'm surprised myself," David said.
"Well I hope you'll enjoy your stay here," the limo driver said, "And before I forget, tomorrow around 10 o'clock in the morning, I'll be stopping by to take you take you to the set where they are filming a few scenes of the Power Rangers movie."
"Why thank you," Haley said as the limo driver left.
"Well what should we do now?" Jon asked.
"How about after we settle in, let's go check out some of the sits?" Courtney suggested.
Everyone agreed on that idea and so they settled in then went out.
On the moon, Lord Zedd was looking for the Power Rangers. "Blast it where are those Rangers?!" he shouted.
Rita was looking though her telescope looking for the Rangers herself. "Why what do you know, the Power Dweebs are in Hollywood," Rita said.
"Really?" Zedd asked as he check out Hollywood and saw the Rangers.
"Oh boy Hollywood!" Squatt shouted in excitement, "I always wanted to go to Hollywood."
"It's the best placed for you to become a star," Baboo stated.
"Or for you to crash and burn," Scorpina said coldly.
"I wonder if we can get discovered?" Rito asked.
"With you they'll use you as a janitor," Goldar said.
"Ah yes Hollywood, the perfect place to become famous after we defeat the Power Rangers," Rita said.
"Don't worry my dear," Zedd said holding Rita's hand, "We will be beyond famous once we defeat the Power Rangers." The two walked over to the balcony that faced Earth, "We'll just wait for the perfect moment to strike."
The next day the limo driver did return around 10 o'clock like he said, and everyone was already ready to leave. After a short trip the group have finally arrived at the studio where they are filming a few scene of the movie.
As they exit the limo a woman came up to great them, "Hi, is one of you Haley?" she asked.
"That's me," Haley said.
"My name is Lizzie, and I'll be taking you to the set of the Power Rangers movie," Lizzie said as she started to lead the group to the set.
As they walked to the set, Z couldn't help but ask, "So who's playing the Power Rangers?"
"Are you guys familiar with High School Musical?" Lizzie replied with a question.
"Really? They're using the cast from High school Musical to play the Rangers?" Matt said.
"Well the director wanted to get the attention of teens and preteens," Lizzie said, "So he thought they will be perfect."
Lizzie continued walking as everyone else gave each other unsure looks.
Soon they arrived to the set, where it looked like a rocky cliff area and they also saw the cast sitting in their chairs. "Here we are," Lizzie said, "Make sure you don't touch anything and be quiet while they start performing a scene."
Everyone understood what Lizzie wanted them to do. So the group slowly approached the set where one of the actors spotted them, "So you guys must be the contest winners," Zac Efron said that made the rest of the actors turn to see the group. "Welcome to the set of the Power Rangers movie," he greeted.
"So which one of you wrote the essay?" Vanessa Hudgens asked.
Haley slowly raised her hand. "We were surprised at how well you knew the Power Rangers," Lucas Grabeel said.
"Well we do live in the town where Zedd and Rita attacks most of the time," Brittany said.
"Must be crazy have monsters attack almost all the time," Corbin Bleu said.
"You don't know the half of it," Emile replied.
"So who's playing who?" Tyler asked.
"I'm playing Jacob the Red Ranger," Zac said.
"Travis, the White Ranger," Lucas said.
"Colin, the Blue Ranger," Corbin said.
"Edward, the Green Ranger," Ryne Sanborn said.
"Pallas, the Orange Ranger,"Monique Coleman said.
"Heather, the Yellow Ranger," Vanessa said.
"Barbra, the Pink Ranger," Ashley Tisdale finished.
"So Lucas is playing the leader," Tyler said.
"No," Zac replied, "From what we heard from, the other Power Ranger teams, the Red Ranger is the leader."
"Wait, what about the Shadow Ranger?" Z asked about his character.
"And Ninjor," Paige added.
"Well the director thinks it's best to just have the seven Rangers," Monique replied.
"As for Ninjor, who cares for him?" Ryne said.
"So what's the story like?" Brittany asked.
"Well we agreed on making an extra script with some of the drawings of the villains," Ashley said as she picked up the script and held it out to the group.
Back on the moon, Zedd was overjoyed at this moment, "Yes with those humans in costumes the Rangers won't see the attack coming," Zedd thought out loud, "Send in the Tengas!"
Back at the set of the Power Rangers movie, the real Rangers were looking at the script, "These people made a lot of mistakes," Haley stated, "But it is creepy how they guess that the Rangers are actually teenagers."
"This is Hollywood for ya," Jon said.
Unknown to the Rangers, the Tengas were slowly approaching the set to attack. "Finally there you guys are," the director said. The Tengas turned to face him, "We were waiting for you guys so we can get this scene finished up. Follow me."
The Tengas looked at each other before the followed the director to the set. "Wow those Tengas look like the ones that attack back at home," David said.
On the set the director was instructing what to do, "Okay this is the scene where the Power Rangers are going to invade Lord Zedd's palace, when Zac says his line the Warrior Birds will attack." He turned to face the Tengas, "Get ready to be lifted into the air."
The Tengas looked at each other then they started to flab their arms and took flight.
The director run off the set, "Action!"
The actors were pretending that they were climbing a cliff, "Jacob, are you sure this is the way to Lord Zedd's palace?" Lucas asked.
"Of course," Zac replied.
"I wonder why Zedd set his palace onto of the Cliff of Despair?" Vanessa said.
"I have no clue myself," Monique said.
"Heads up guys I think Zedd was prepared for us!" Zac shouted as the others got ready to fight.
They waited in their stance, but nothing happened. "Cut!" the director shouted.
"Sorry we are late sir." The director turned to see the actors that were to play the Tengas, "We had a hard time getting into our costumes."
"Wait if you are here," the director turned to see the Tengas still flying, "Who are they?"
The Tengas landed on the set, "We are Lord Zedd's Tenga Warriors!" a Tenga shouted as they started to attack.
"We should of seen this coming," Chris said as the Rangers charged at the Tengas.
Chris did a running kick that knocked a few Tengas down.
They've got a feathered face,
They've got funny beak.
Tyler jumped over a Tenga and punched it to the ground.
IQ of under 10,
They're loud and noisy!
Haley was being chased be a Tenga on the set, she stepped on a prop rock and flipped over the Tenga.
They smell like spoiled fish on a hot, hot summer's day.
As she landed, she kicked the Tenga to the ground.
Cross-eyed crazy nuts who fly above us!
A Tenga lunged at Z, but Z ducked out of the way.
Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,
Another Tenga tried to punch him, but Z blocked and counter the attack.
Rangers gonna get you!
As two Tengas were chasing Zac and Corbin, Paige kicked one of them and gabbed the other one and tossed it to the ground.
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Tenga bye bye!
"How do you guys know how to fight?" Corbin asked.
"We're used to this happening," Paige replied as she went back to the fight.
A Tenga threw a prop rock at Bittany, but it was a fake, she caught it and attacked the Tenga.
Bir-bir-bir-bir-bird brain don't mess with me,
'cuz you ain't got a chance!
Emile was tripped by a Tenga's low kick, but Emile was able to kick the Tenga away.
We're gonna send you back to the bird sanctuary!
Courtney and David had a few Tengas coming at them, so they grabbed some of the actor's chairs to defend themselves.
Where you will spend your days,
Learning to basket weave.
Don't look now, you better run,
Why don't you just fly away?
"I thought we would be safe from all this," Matt said as he grabbed a rope with a pulley, and swung it at any Tenga that got close to him.
Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,
Rangers gonna get you!
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Tenga bye bye!
"Geez just what are these things?" Vanessa asked as two Tengas started to run at her.
Out of nowhere Jon and Emile did a jump kick that knocked the Tengas down. "They're Tengas!" Jon shouted.
The Rangers, with Courtney, David and Matt, were able to hold off the Tengas.
Lord Zedd, he ain't gonna help you,
Old Rito ain't gonna help you,
No Goldar ain't gonna help you,
We will make ya fly away!
"These guys are good," Ashley commented as the Tengas were driven back.
So you better learn a lesson,
Think about with whom you're messin'!
The other actors agreed as the Rangers got the Tengas near the large door.
Turn around in the other direction,
Listen here to what I say!
"We never expect them to do this!" a Tenga shouted.
Ugly ugly birdies in the sky,
"What do we do now!?" another Tenga shouted.
Rangers gonna get you!
"If you wish to live, fly for your lives!" a third Tenga shouted.
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Watch the Tenga,
Then all the Tengas flew off.
Tenga bye bye!
Back on the moon, Zedd was furious at the Tengas failure, "How dare those bird brains fail me!" Zedd shouted.
"Hey look everyone, the Tengas brought back a script of the movie," Rito said as he walked into the throne room.
"Let me see that!" Rita shouted as she grabbed the script and look at the cast list. "I'm not in this movie, It's just Zedd, Goldar, and Rito!"
"They just know what they are missing my dear," Zedd said as he walked over to Rita's side.
"And check out these drawings of us," Rito said as he held the two pictures that look like Goldar and Rito. Then Rito pulled out a drawing of a bird monster that is wearing a red robe and holding some sort of scepter, "I don't know who this is."
"Let me see," Zedd said as he looked at the drawing and saw 'Drawing of Lord Zedd' in the corner. Soon Zedd and the throne room started to glow red, "How dare they insult the great Lord Zedd, the Emperor of Evil! And I'll show them my might!" Zedd then raised his Z-staff, "Arise again Showbiz Monster!"
Back in Hollywood, they were able to finish part of the scene and the actors needed to get their Ranger costumes. But the real Rangers were outside the building worried at what Zedd could have planned.
"So what do you think Zedd is planning now?" Emile asked.
"Who know," Tyler replied, "But if Zedd see that drawing of himself, we might be in deep shit."
Soon a movie camera was being guided by lightning and stopped in front of the Rangers, "Looks like trouble found us," Jon said.
Then the camera transform into a mechanical monster called, the Showbiz Monster, "Greetings I am Showbiz Monster here to improve this movie," it said.
"Guys we need to get out of here and find a place to morph," Tyler said. The other Rangers agreed as started to run from the monster.
"Hey get back here!" Showbiz Monster shouted as it started to chase the Rangers.
Courtney, David, and Matt saw the monster chasing their friends, "Come on guys lets help them out," Courtney said as they started to give chase.
The Ranger passed many people as they ran with Showbiz Monster chasing them. The Rangers came up to the Power Rangers movie actors' trailers, they made a left turn.
Soon the Ranger actors got out trailer in the Ranger costumes, that almost look like the Rangers Power Suits only the White Ranger had no gold breastplate or shoulder pads and they don't have an animal designs on the helmets.
"Just how do the Power Rangers do this?" Ashley asked.
"I have no clue," Corbin replied.
Soon Showbiz Monster spotted the actors, "So you Rangers think you can morph to stop me," it said as it approach the actors, "But it won't work."
"What are you talking about?" Zac asked.
"Don't play dumb, it's over!" Showbiz Monster said, "Tie them up Putties!"
Putties appeared around the actors and stared to tie them up. Then they all disappeared.
With Courtney, David, and Matt were wondering what to do, "Now which way do we go?" David asked.
"Let's try this way," Matt suggested. They walked over to an ally between two buildings and saw their friend.
"Okay guys everything is clear," Tyler said, "It's Mophin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
"Okay guys let's do this!" Tyler said.
"Right!" the other Ranger said as they ran off to confront Showbiz Monster unknowingly leave surprised friends.
The Rangers tried to look for the monster, "Great now where did it go?" Haley said.
"There you all are!" the Rangers turned to see the director, "We need to continue the shooting."
"Sorry but I think you got the wrong Rangers," Tyler said.
"I highly doubt that," the director said.
Soon they heard the Communicator go off, "What is it Zordon?"
"Rangers come to the Command Center at once," Zordon said.
The Rangers nodded to each other and teleported away.
In a unknown area the actors appeared at a mouth of a cave with bars on the outside and some inside, to prevent them to go far into the cave. "What's going on?" Lucas asked.
Showbiz Monster appeared outside the bar, "Now it's time for your destruction," it said as there was a glow behind it and Zedd, Rita, Goldar, Rito, Scaorpina, Finster, Baboo, and Squatt appeared.
"We meet again Power Rang..." Zedd noticed that the Rangers weren't really the Rangers. "Who the hell are you?"
"We're the Power Rangers," Zac tried to sound convincing.
"You are not the Rangers!" Zedd shouted as he raised his Z-Staff, "Show me your faces!" Lightning fired and knocked the actors' helmets off. Zedd started to glow red as he turned to face Showbiz Monster, "How could you bring me a bunch of useless humans!?"
"I'm sorry my Lord. I thought they were the Rangers," Showbiz Monster pleaded.
"I already got a headache, and the Power Rangers didn't foil our plan yet," Rita complained.
"Hey you do you think you are calling us worthless!?" Vanessa shouted.
"I am Lord Zedd, the Emperor of Evil!" Zedd introduced himself.
"We thought you look like a bird," Monique stated.
"That's an insult to my power that is feared across the universe!" Zedd shouted.
"Shall I take them back?" Showbiz Monster asked.
"No," Zedd replied, "I got a better plan."
TO BE CONINUED...
A/N: I hope you liked it. I choose these actors because the movie was set to attract teens and preteens and I thought they'll be good.
