Things started off so well. Apparently Zedd was going to take a special nap to rejuvenate his evil energies, which meant even if they were away from Angel Grove, the skinless bastard wouldn't be able to do anything. Then apparently Rita Repulsa reappeared and got him to marry her. Yeah, they didn't understand it but the two of them were annoying to deal with on their own, the two together would be a nightmare.
Well, they brought back a Monster army to attend their wedding and then sicked the monsters on them. And had hijacked Alpha 5 with a virus which they luckily managed to purge. Now everything was back to normal aside from the fact there were still a whole wedding's worth of monsters surrounding them.
The six Rangers had morphed and were ready for action, any action. They were in the quarry where somehow most of their fights ended up happening. And all of these monsters had their attention on them. "You think we can handle them all at once?" Kimberly asked.
"We have beaten groups of monsters before, though admittingly not this many at once." Adam pointed out.
"I notice they are weaker when they are brought in at mass…When Zedd created the Tube Monster and brought back all those fish monsters, I was able to handle them. I think the more monster they create at once, the weaker they are. Quantity over quality. Finster's machine and Zedd's magic take a lot of power." Billy noted.
"Then their only advantage is their numbers. It comes down to skill…and we all have more training, more skill and more experience. We can handle them." Tommy said.
"Then, let's kick their butts, I'd say." Rocky noted.
"Do your worst, uglies!" Aisha taunted the monsters.
"Destroy them! Tear them to pieces! Grind them to paste! Obliterate! Destroy!" Rhinoblaster said in rage. He scraped his foot across the floor and charged, his fellow monsters following suit.
Kimberly immediately was accousted by Spitflower, whom spat his life-draining biting flowers at her, but with her gymnast agility she avoided them. She pulled out her Blade Blaster and shot them from the air as she avoided them. "Stand still!" the Showbiz monster said as he created film reel for tendrils to reach for Kimberly. Her legs were tied up and she was dragged towards them. Showbiz pulled out his sword as Spitflower drooled. Kim put her Blade Blaster in Blade mode and cut the film reel. She then put it back in Blaster mode, hitting them and knocking them back. She then heard buzzing as she had to dove aside as Peckster and Grumblebee came from the sky, firing stingers and sharp feathers.
Kimberly grabbed her Power Bow and aimed, firing at the oversized bird and bee. Peckster avoided the arrows, but Grumblebee was hit in one of his wings and flew out of control. "Buzz, buzz! Mayday, I'm going down!" he said as he crashed into the ground, dazed.
Spitflower fired more of his biting flowers, as Media Magician fired energy beams from his oversized camera eye. Kimberly did a few sideway flips to avoid them, loaded her arrows and fired them. Spitflower ducked away but Showbiz wasn't as lucky as the arrow pierced his eye. "Ah! I'm blind!" he said as she shot his film real tendrils everywhere.
"Just wait until I get my claw on that girl, I'll show…" Grumblebee had just gotten up but a misfired shot from Showbiz caused him to be wrapped up. "Oh, come on!"
"I'll get her!" Spitflower said as he fired more flowers at her. Kimberly had the pragmatic thought of rushing at Showbiz and grabbing him, putting him in front of the attack and now the biting flowers attached to him.
"Ah! You overgrown pitcher plant! Not me!" Showbiz moaned.
"I'm still here!" Peckster said as he threw more feather knives, but Kim also blocked that with Showbiz' body. "Oops, sorry!"
"You call this sorry? I have knives in my chest and these flowers are sucking me dry and…now I start to feel light headed…" Showbiz monster said as he collapsed. Unfortunately he fell forward and the knives were still in his chest. Not to mention the flowers continued sucking him dry.
"Ah, there goes your shield! Try to hit me now! I am all the way up here. You can't fly but I can…and I should use that more often when fighting you, why do us monsters based on flying creatures keep ourselves grounded like…" Peckster said as he saw Kimberly jump up in the sky and flying around. "You can fly?"
"Pterodactyl!" Kimberly replied as she fired her arrows, and in the sky had a bigger chance of hitting him.
Peckster panicked in the sky as he avoided the arrows. "Spitflower, you oversized geranium! Shoot her out of the sky!"
"I can't aim my flowers that high up!" Spitflower explained.
"You're an useless weed!" Peckster said as he threw feather daggers at Kim, whom spun her bow in front of her to use as a shield, before dashing in and grabbing Peckster, making him fly around erratically in the sky. "Ah! Let go of me, you will make us both crash!"
"Oh, she's getting closer, now I can aim!" Spitflower said.
"No, I'm still in your way. I don't want to be plant food like camera guy!" Peckster said, remembering how Showbiz monster is probably dead now.
"You two need to make up, how about you get a littler closer!" Kimberly said as she slashed at the wings of Peckster, and kicked him off her, sending him spiraling towards the ground, right for Spitflower. Whom made the mistake of opening his mouth to shoot more flowers, only for Peckster to shoot right into it, lodging into Spitflower's throat. Spitflower could only make gagging sounds as Peckster flailed wildly in a panic, and the two couldn't get loose. Soon both choked and Spitflower fell down, the unmoving Peckster still in his mouth. "Whoa, that's one heck of an ending." Kimberly said.
Adam dodged aside as he avoided the Knasty Knight's swiped. Adam grabbed his power axe and clashed with the knight's sword and shield. The Knight held his attention. Adam couldn't help but hear some giggling as he dove aside to avoid Skelerana, whom crashed into Knasty Knight. He got up, turned around and aimed himself at Adam again. "You are pathetic, little black Ranger. I'm laughing at how sad you are!" the skeletal hyena said, constantly laughing.
"You are no prize yourself, you runaway museum exhibit!" Adam said. Skelerana dashed towards him, swiping with his claws, Adam blocking the swipes with his Axe. Skelerana knocked him on his back though. He pounched at the downed Ranger but Adam planted his feet in Skelerena's chest and kicked him away.
"Coming through!" a curled up Soccadillo rolled at Adam like an oversized boulder form Indiana Jones, with Adam having to jump aside to avoid it. Luckily Soccadilla couldn't stop as easily in this form and kept going. Adam readied himself again as suddenly he felt something on his back, tugging at him. He looked up to see the Spidertron monster, webs from his mouth as he dragged Adam in, ready to, if he has spider biology, suck Adam dry like a yoghurt drink. Adam grabbed his Blade Blaster and fired at the spider, hitting him in all eight of its eyes. It shrieked as it stopped reeling in Adam.
Adam saw Soccadillo finally turned around and was ready to roll over Adam again. Adam tugged at the webs on his back, dragging Spidertron along and throwing him in the path of Soccadillo, where the Spider was flattened by his teammates. "Ew, I rolled into something!" Soccadillo noted as he slowed down a bit. Adam took the chance, charging up his power axe, slamming it into the ground to create a shockwave when Soccadillo was close enough, him being flung into the air, uncurling and crashing into the ground.
Knasty Knight charged in again, trading blows with his sword and Adam's weapon once again. This time Adam was ready and caught the sword with his axe in such a way that when he twisted his wrist just right, disarmed him readily. He caught the sword and used it against Knasty Knight, whom blocked with his shield. And then Adam brought his axe down on the Knight's head. It cleaved his head in two and he dropped down lifelessly.
Adam heard the giggling again, then he thrusts the sword of the Knasty Knight under backwards, impaling Skelerena in the chest. "You should stop laughing so hard, I can hear you coming from a mile away." Adam said as he let go, leaving Skelerena to explode alongside the Knight's sword.
Aisha rushed across the battlefield, Power Daggers in hand. She headed for the Chunky Chicken, whom had his hedgeclippers in front, snapping forward to cut her head clean off, but she ducked underneath and slashed at his chest. The chicken monster squawked out in pain and lashed with his hedgeclippers, knocking Aisha back. She dug her daggers in the ground to prevent herself from being knocked back too much.
Aisha had to jump aside as Rhinoblaster jumped in, and nearly crushed him under his weight, and then he starts charging at her. Aisha ran for it, the Sabertooth tiger power coin giving her great speed. She started to make twists and turns, with Rhinoblaster having far less grip when turning and going off-course and crash into a wall.
Then the Gatekeeper came in. Aisha didn't remember him, as he was only seen at the Monster Graveyard, locking it down. But the fact it had an oversized key-like sword that could slice through rocks, made sure Aisha stayed clear. After it missed its swiped, it pulled out some smaller keys, which it threw like throwing daggers. Aisha avoided them and threw her own daggers. Gatekeeper blocked with his sword, but Aisha quickly drew her Blade Blaster and fired at the Gatekeeper, whom didn't have time to block the shots.
The Invenusable Flytrap came in next and she opened her chest, an energy beam coming out, ready to trap her inside. However, Aisha, dodged, grabbed her daggers and threw them at the plant creature's chest on the inside, having left herself wide open as the busted through her chest, out of her back. Plant sap ran down her mouth like blood, as she collapsed and exploded.
Rhinoblaster came charging back in, finally gotten up, horn forward. The key monster and Chunky Chicken also came in with their weapons. Aisha did a backwards jump as she landed on the back of a charging Rhinoblaster, planting her daggers in the thick skin of his back. Rhinoblaster roared in pain, as Aisha pulled at the daggers, to make him go certain directions. This resulted in the Gatekeeper being sent flying when the rhino monster wildly trashed with his arms; Then she forced him forward, causing him to impale the Chunky Chicken on his horn. "Ewww!" Rhinoblaster aid as he now had an oversized dead chicken on his horn. Aisha let go before she could be thrown off as she looked comically at the scene of Rhinoblaster trying to get the chicken off.
"Beamcaster here, back on air!" the microphone-faced, samurai monster said as he waved his fishing rod weapon around. He fired several waves from it, but Billy dodged. He was not the best fighter, but he was the smartest. He avoided several shots, before having to dive aside before the Dramole monsters dove from the ground and rammed into him. Billy grabbed his Power Lance, planted it in the ground to prevent from being sent flying further, and then swung off it to launch a flying kick to send Dramole flying and knock out some of his teeth.
Then he found something wrap around him, looking back to see the Evil Bookala with his long tongue wrapped around him. Billy slashed his tongue with his lance. "Ouch, why use my tongue as weapon I must do?" he said in his broken Yoda-like speak.
"You are still an insult to the real Bookala, you phony!" Billy said as he came in with his Power Lance. He was then blasted by something and knocked down. He looked up to see Eye Guy. "Not you!"
"Nice to see you again. You look tired, blue Ranger. You should get some shut-eye. Forever!" he fired more beams form his main eye, Billy dodging. He then found that Beamcaster sent out more Z-waves. Billy would be on the ropes if he didn't act fast. However, he had a good idea in that big brain of his. He kept dodging and dodging until he managed to have Beamcaster zap Eye Guy with his beams. All of Eye Guy's eyes dulled as he had his hands in front of him. "Hail Lord Zedd!" he ranted.
"You already are serving him you mutated optic nerve." Beamcaster said. "Blast him!"
"Hail Lord Zedd!" the near-mindless Eye Guy said as he fired. But it was less focused, he just fired. He was no longer at his A-game when he was brainless.
"I have him!" Dramole said as he shot from the ground at Billy. Billy held his power lance in front of him. He split it into two. He threw one at the Dramole, whom was hit in the snout, and he cried out in pain. The mole exploded promptly. The other one shot at Beamcaster, whose fishing rod weapon was splintered.
"Oh darn!" Beamcaster said. "Say, weirdeye! Care to help us?"
"My tongue too much hurt!" Evil Bookala whined.
"Urgh! That's it, I'm going to rock and roll you out of here, blue Ranger!" Beamcaster said as he pulled out his sword. Billy has managed to reassemble his lance and clashed with Beamcaster. "Eye Guy! Kind of could use some assistance."
"All hail…" Eye Guy said.
"And stop saying that!" Beamcaster said annoyed. Eye Guy fired eye beams, but he was not careful where he was looking as Beamcaster was still too close to Billy. "Argh! Not me! You have a hundred eyes and you can't hit the broadside of a barn. Never mind, I'll go for some old fashioned explosives!" Beamcaster pulled out a potato-like bomb with a fuse.
Billy knew what to do and imitated an old trick of Tommy's. "I think this belongs to you!" he threw it back.
"Oh no, not going through that again, you take it!" Beamcaster threw it back.
"It's for you!"
"For you!" and it turned into a literal game of hot potato.
"For you!"
"For you!"
"For me!"
"It's mine and that's it…oh drat!" Beamcaster said as he fell for Billy's Looney tune routine and it blew up in his face, knocking him down.
As he was downed, Billy grabbed his weapons. "Thunder Slinger!" he pulled out a weapon they hadn't used in a long time, combined it with Blade Blaster and then zapped Beamcaster with it, him going up in a glorious explosion. "I wonder why we don't use these things more often…".
"Out of here, I think I should go…" Fake Bookala said. Billy just aimed his Thunder Slinger and let out a second shot, blowing up the pitiful copy. This left just Dramole and Eye Guy, and the two didn't like their chances.
"Frankie smash puny Ranger!" the recreated Frankenstein monster raised his massive fists as Rocky avoided them being smashed by the horror movie monster come to life. Barely. The Frankenstein monster then pulled the bolts from his neck to turn them into makeshift nun-chucks. He roared as he used them as weighted flails.
The Frankenstein monster was slow though. But that couldn't be said about the arrows fired by Snizzard. "I'm turning you into a Ranger pincushion!" Snizzard hissed. Rocky pulled out the Power sword and slashed the arrows before they could reach him.
Snizzard then spat snakes at him, which Rocky sliced apart. "This thing is cool, should use it more often." He then rushed at Snizzard with it, whom kept firing arrows which Rocky continued to slice apart. However, a wall of flame blocked his path.
"I'm turning up the heat!" Saliguana said as he came onto the scene. He spat more fire at the hero, with Rocky doing his best to dodge them all. But coupled with that and the arrows, he had trouble doing it.
"You're doomed, Ranger!" Doomstone suddenly bursted in, ramming Rocky with his gravestone head. Rocky was knocked to the ground.
Frankenstein loomed over Rocky, fists raised. Rocky barely regained consciousness, rolling aside as Frankie barely didn't pulverize him. Rocky had enough and jumped up, stood behind Saliguana, held him into a grip and forced him to belch out fire at the Frankenstein monster, whom lit up like a flame. "Fire bad! Fire bad!" Frankie trashed around in a panic.
"Er…we should put him out." Snizzard commented.
"None of us have power over water!" Doomstone shouted. However, a trashing Frankie grabbed Doomstone in a panic. "Hey, what gives!"
"Fire bad! Help Frankie!"
"I can't unless you let me go, you big palooka! We'll both get torched." Then Frankenstein succumbed to his injuried, the flaming giant collapsing on top of Doomstone, whom flailed in panic as he was pinned under a giant flaming corpse, cut off form air or escape from the flames.
"Whoa…what a way to go. Snizzard gulped. It was then that Rocky used the distraction to grab his Blade blaster and shoot the apple on Snizzard's head. "Oh crud!" Snizzard said before he went up in an explosion. Why did he have such an obvious weak spot?
Tommy was exchanging blows with Robogoat and the Fourhead monster, whom lashed with their staff weapons at him, the White Ranger doing his best to parry the blows, but he was outnumbered two to one. So he jumped up and did a split kick to knock them back to create some distance between them.
Then Lizzinator charged in. "I'll crush you, white Ranger." Tommy lashed with saba, but it bounced off his armor. "You have forgotten my metal hide? I bet you also forgot my breath weapon!" he sprayed a white mist, which hit Tommy and knocked him back.
"Lemme have a piece of him too!" Shellshock said as he retracted his head and fired it like a cannon. It missed Tommy, but there was the shockwave that knocked him through the air.
Fourhead and Robogoat's weapons glowed and they fired energy blasts at the heroes. Tommy charged his sword and batted the energy blasts aside. He then charged in, jumped at Lizzinator and slashed with his blade.
"Didn't you learn, I have strong armor that you can't…ARGH!" Lizzinator had to eat his words.
"Your armor is strong, but all armor has joints, otherwise you can't move!" Tommy had slashed at several joints in between the armor, forcing him onto his knees.
Tommy then dove at the Fourhead monster but she shot him out of the eye. "You can't stop me!" it boasted.
"I beg to differ!" Tommy aimed Saba and it fired his eye lasers, knocking the Four-headed monster back.
"Strike one!" Shellshock had summoned a baseball bat and fired several baseballs at the hero, but Tommy jumped away. "Stand still. Oh wait, traffic light!" He fired a beam from the red light. Only he missed and hit Lizzinator.
"You…Fool!" Lizzinator said before he was frozen into place.
"Whoops. Nevermind, I'll try the green light!" He fired again, but Tommy jumped aside and Fourhead was hit.
"Watch where you're blasting…Oh no, I can't stop running!" Fourhead said as she darted across the battlefield, forced into non-stop running."
"Dude, you're embaaaaarassing yourself; I'll take care of it!" Robotgoat said as he struck at Tommy with his rod. Tommy blocked the blows with Saba, before he got an opening in and kicked Robogoat in the chest, sending him flying.
"I am hooked on a feeling. The sweet feeling of murder!" Shellshock has swapped into his hook hand and swiped at Tommy, not hitting him. Tommy then slashed with Saba and the traffic light on his back was cut off.
"That was part of my body!" Shellshock said as he shouted out in pain. "Now you're going to get it!" he retracted his head, and it turned into a cannon once more. Tommy took the traffic light he cut off and rammed it inside the cannon's muzzle. "Uh-oh!" With the cannon blocked, it blew up, alongside Shellshock himself.
"I can move again!" Lizzinator said.
"I am glad I can stop moving!" Fourhead said. She panted after being forced to run like crazy. But then Tommy threw Saba, blade forward, impaling Fourhead, whom was too tired to dodge. "I have four heads, why didn't I see that coming?" she then blew up.
The surviving monsters huddled together, as the Rangers came together. "We are whittling them down!" Aisha said.
"Let's finish the rest of them. Let' bring them together!" Rocky suggested.
"Right!" all the Rangers said.
"Power Axe!" Adam converted the Power Axe in Blaster mode and threw it upwards.
"Power Bow!" Kimberly threw her bow, which attached to the Axe.
"Power Daggers!" Aisha threw the daggers, which attached to the Blaster.
"Power Lance!" Billy split his lance in two and added it to the combination.
"Power Sword!" Rocky jumped up, grabbed the blaster, and put the sword on top of it.
"Power Rangers!"
"But we're not done. I summon the Power Cannon!" Tommy said. Rocky held the Power Blaster as the other Rangers grabbed the Power Cannon. Though each Ranger held a ball of energy in their respective color. "White Charge!"
"Black Charge!"
"Pink Charge!"
"Yellow Charge!"
"Blue Charge!"
"Red Charge!"
Then they locked in the swords that came with the Power Cannon. Aisha, Billy, Kimberly and Adam now carried the massive weapon.
"Saba, think you got enough firepower left?" Tommy asked his sword.
"Plenty!" Saba said as his eyes glowed as Tommy aimed him at the monsters.
"Not good!" Gatekeeper said.
"Fire!" The Power Cannon's charge, Saba's eye lasers and the Power Blaster's energy beam fired away.
The Power Cannon's burst hit Rhinoblaster. The laser eyes of Saba hit the Gatekeeper. The Power Blaster hit Lizzinator. The three fell down and exploded. Leaving only six monsters left: Soccadillo, Eye Guy, Grumblebee, Dramole, Saliguana and Robogoat, whom gulped.
"Now it's your turn!" Tommy said as he aimed with Saba at them.
However, on one of the monster's faces, their look of fear melted away. "We're not done yet…" Eye Guy said as he pointed upwards. The heroes saw six grey spherical things heading towards Earth. Zedd's growth bombs.
There was going to be a round two…Just another day in the life of a Ranger.
TO BE CONTINUED
The first oneshot I do, will end up a two shot with a reimagined zord fighting scene
Season two was plagued by a lot of production issues. Mashed up Dairanger/Zyu2 footage, they didn't have a lot of the Dairanger suits outside of footage, and there was a lot of recycling.
While I love Mighty Morhin' still...what in the wedding the heroes had an all out non-spliced mashup footage fight against the monsters (I added a few of my personal fav from first two seasons among their number). That and a solid Zord fight comes up.
I haven't written an actual Power Ranger story before, but I loved writing this first snippet, as I love writing insane and over the top fight scenes. I may enjoy writing this series more in the future.
