Episode 2 - Where Winds Cross Part 2
After being rescued by Avias, the 5 are asked to become Power Rangers. And they may need to accept as the three Jinn Generals have infected a metal baseball bat for the first of many Jinn Bruisers
Last Time on Power Rangers Avian Strike
"Now no one will get in my way…"
"We got trouble Avias!"
"Alert the Avian Spirits! We may need some extra help…"
"What the heck was that?!"
"WHAT?! WHERE DID THEY GO?!"
"Drake, Leni, Jordan, Lincoln and Shade...Welcome to the Sky Temple."
Did we eat something bad? That was the current thoughts currently going through the heads of the five as they looked at the large tengu spreading his arms. It didn't exactly help that he somehow knew their names.
Avias soon spoke in a tone filled with wisdom.
"Now I assume that you all have questions."
Shade was the first to snap out of his shock.
"Yeah! Like, who are you? What is this place? What were those things? And did I get hit on the head too hard?"
He chuckled in a low tone.
"Follow me and you shall get your answers" He replied and he floated to the entrance, the five youths looking on and deciding that following him was probably the only choice they had.
Once inside, they took a good look at their surroundings. It was pretty spacious, with a large computer screen at the front with a control pad. On the left and right there were two doors which lead to two different rooms. The walls had pictures of various birds and winged creatures as well as a vault filled with feathers that seemed to have blacked out, except for five.
"Where are we?" Leni asked in awe.
"You are in the command base."
"Command base" Drake asked in a skeptical manner.
"I see you need some clarification."
Raising his staff, Avias let out a white wisp of mana, allowing it to split into five bits and then they touched their foreheads.
They then began to witness Avias's past.
It was a thousand years ago. Nature was prosperous. The four beast guards watched over our world and made sure that the balance wasn't altered. Animals and plants thrived in the world
"Wow…It looks like a place untouched by factories…" Lincoln spoke in awe.
"You can just feel the beauty coming from this place." Drake agreed
Terras, a tall anthro lion dressed in red armor and had a large claymore strapped to his back with a pair of clawed gauntlets, looked over the land from his home on the rocky cliffs.
"Guess Richard the Lionheart has become someone in human form." Jordan couldn't help but comment.
Aquarius, a being with a shark biting his head and mouthguard, dressed in a blue overcoat over a whote shirt and black pants plus webbed feet. His waist had two gun holster which held a pair of flintlock pistols as he sat on his coral throne.
"Why do I get One Piece vibes from him?" Lincoln said.
"He does look like a fishman." Jordan agreed
Solara, A female dressed in a green dress, who had bronze skin, covered by a green mask, with a spear strapped to her back, stood over the tallest of trees as she looked over the forest
"Wow! I love that dress!" Leni said with joy.
And finally me, the sky guardian, Avias, a white tengu, dressed in a black gi, with two ninjato blades strapped to his waist, soared the skies as he looked over the world.
"So you were a part of these…beast guards?" Drake questioned.
"Yes I was." Avias said with a slight sad undertone
Things were wonderful. That was until HE arrived.
A Jinn of malevolent purple arrived. Hair dark as brimstone, eyes yellow which showed malice and sadism and a glaive with a red handle and shard silver glaive. He had a very stocky build and was shirtless with only a strong of buddha beads around his neck. He only wore black hakama pants. Purple magic was seeping out his body, which approached many objects, turning them into terrifying monsters, along with an army of bipedal beings, pitch black with gis and full face masks with red kanji spelling "Infect", all holding daggers in their hands
"OK…I do not want to meet him in a dark alley." Shade spoke with a slight edge in his voice.
"Forget that, look at the army!" Drake added in slight fear
"Believe me. He and his army of Jinns are dangerous." Avias said with cold rage.
But it wasn't just him and the armies that was with the Jinn's side.
Soon three more beings appeared alongside the jinn. One was a male with blue skin and red eyes. He had a lithe build and a skull mask wielding two revolvers and had a sniper rifle like weapon attached to his back. He was dressed in a black vest and had on a pair of red boots with a cowboy hat on his head. His mouth was covered by a red mask.
"Shadowshot. His right hand man and a quick shot on the field." Avias introduced.
"Ok, that hat is not doing him any favors." Leni critiqued
The second was another male but he was larger than the other. Standing at 6ft 9 and had the build of a truck, he looked like he could show no mercy. He had on a hunter's poncho with a belt filled with tools for hunting and a shotgun behind his back. His face resembles that of a wolf with crimson eyes.
"HUGE!" Drake said as he saw the size of him.
The final was a woman with a toned body dressed in a black spandex suit with a belt filled with many kunais and throwing knives. Her hair was styled like a black tornado and had a face mask to cover her lips but showed her red eyes. Strapped on her back were two katanas.
"Why do I feel like she is the definition of a 'femme fatale?" Lincoln spoke as he felt a shiver go down his spine
"She better not come close to you…" Jordan growled.
This was the war between Infection and Purification
The four demons laid waste to the land but the four beast guards managed to hold them off. The war was long and bloody, but they managed to defeat the jinn.
However, during the war, the beast guards suffered from heavy losses: The guardians of the Sea, land and forest all perished, leaving me to deal the final blow. In despair, Avias sealed away the jinn and his goons, then retreated back to the sky temple to mourn.
It seemed the war was over but a pyrrhic victory was achieved
"That's the price of war." Drake said.
"How do you?" Shade asked but Drake answered for him
"Went to a military academy. Was taught the tragedy of wars."
But good things never last that long.
The seal used began to weaken and the jinn plus his goons awoken again but his power was weakened. But that didn't stop his army of soldiers to go out and cause havoc to produce fear and negativity in order to refuel his magic.
"That Jinn's name? Infectora. The Devil of Infection." He concluded.
Coming out of the trance, the five soon began to relay the events in their heads.
"That was mental" Drake mumbled out
"You actually battled that thing?" Jordan looked at the tengu in respect.
"It wasn't easy. I lost sight of my allies after sealing Infectora away, so I assumed the worst"
"But why did you transport us? I mean you could've faced them and annihilate them." Shade asked.
"If I could, I would. My power has been drained to do only basic tasks like teleportation and wind spells. And for your question. Let me ask you this. Have you heard of the Power Rangers?"
Lincoln's eyes shot open.
"WAIT, YOU MEAN THE POWER RANGERS ARE REAL?! I-I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS!"
Leni looked at her brother in surprise.
"Wait, Power what?
Lincoln looked at the rest in eagerness.
"They were a group of five, bestowed with power by different forces to fight off evil. They were usually in colorful costumes and wielded crazy weapons. But the greatest thing was that they also piloted giant mechs called zords, whenever the monsters become gigantic! I mean you could only have rescued us if-!"
Lincoln suddenly paused as suddenly he worked out why.
"Oh my god…" He spoke in a soft tone as he shook in excitement, grinning wildly
"Seems your young friend has the idea." Avias spoke in amusement.
It soon clicked with the rest of the group.
"No way!" Shade seemed to voice all of their thoughts.
"That's right. I need you to become Power Rangers."
Silence. That was the only thing that could come out of their mouths. This guy wanted them to become Power Rangers and to try and save the world? There was only one intelligent response they could come up with.
"Eh?" Leni said
Waggling a finger in his ear, Drake wanted to clarify. "Wait...so you want us five to become Power Rangers?"
Avias nodded. "That's right. When I learnt that Infectora was free, I sent some of my avian spirits to see if anyone was worthy of the power. Naturally, five of them chose wisely from the havoc I saw."
"Drake. You took on the role as a leader when it happened, giving necessary orders and allowing the civilians to get to safety. The Hawk spirit was right to choose you as the Red Ranger" Avias stated as a red aura surrounded his body
"Seriously?"
"Leni. During the crisis, You were able to move with grace and balance, flowing out of obstacles with care. That is what attracted the Swan spirit, thus making you the Teal Ranger"
"Wow…"
"Jordan, you are as fast as an arrow and as agile as the wind. The Falcon spirit had decided you were worthy to be his host. You will be the Yellow Ranger."
"Aw sweet!"
"Lincoln, the Sparrow spirit wanted you for a long time. Your scrappiness and quick wits show you are able to use what you can in a pressured situation. Especially with your lady friend"
Lincoln flushed red at the memory but Leni had to answer
"Wait. What do you mean?" She asked with a wide grin.
"No don't!"
Lincoln tried to stop them but soon Avias played a memory.
Lincoln was busy walking down the street after a gaming session at Gus's Games 'n' Grub. He managed to get a high score on the Dance Dance Revolution game when suddenly he saw Jordan on the road and a car driving towards her.
Lincoln had a slight crush on her but he thought it would never happen as they were from two different backgrounds. But he wasn't going to let her become roadkill.
Thinking quickly, Lincoln found a long piece of rope, which he turned into a lasso. Before he could swing it, he called out to her.
"Jordan!
Jordan then turned to see the car zooming at high speeds. Before she could scream, Lincoln caught her with the rope, taking her out of the traffic. But he misjudged his strength and the two fell into a heap.
"You OK?" He asked
"Thanks but…" Jordan said but she was blushing. Lincoln looked down and saw why.
Lincoln was on top of her, pinning her down by the shoulders. Blushing red like a tomato, he got off her, apologising like a mad man.
When the memory ended, Leni let out a squeal.
"OOOOOHHHHH! THAT'S HOW YOU GOT TOGETHER! YOU LITTLE HERO YOU!" She squealed, hugging Lincoln from behind.
"Close to second base. Nice" Shade smirked
Lincoln and Jordan were red in the face from that memory until Avias tapped his staff on the ground.
"You are the Orange Ranger, young child." He said as he moved to Shade.
"Now then...Shade. Your ability to blend into the shadows and sneak away without anyone noticing. The Raven spirit had chosen you as his wielder, making you the Black Ranger".
Shade just raised an eyebrow in interest.
"Those five spirits chose you not out of coincidence but rather because of your qualities that resonated with those avian spirits. And right now, I need your help to wipe out Infectora and his goons for good. So tell me, will you assist me?"
All five looked at each other, unsure about what to do.
Meanwhile, Shadowshot, Hunterror and Umbra were currently sitting by one of the tables by a nearby cafe that had been abandoned due to the attack by them and the Jynxers.
Right now, they were discussing what to do next and the events that transpired a few minutes ago. Shadowshoti was deep in thought while Hunterror was sharpening his blades. Umbra was currently looking around the area for any sign of confrontation. A group of Jynxers were close by in case they need to attack
"All clear," Umbra said in clarification, confirming that they were alone in the carnage.
"OK. Let's confirm a few things. One: We led the Jynxers on a successful attack and the humans ran like scared mice." Shadowshot recounted.
"Right" Hunterror confirmed
"However, five pieces of flesh decided to try and play a game of hero."
"Correct" Umbra replied.
"And just as we were about to tear them to bits, some tornado comes and makes them disappear."
"We saw that" both confirmed
"Good. So, who sent that hurricane?"
Hunterror hummed in thought. "That is a good-"
"HEY!"
Hunterror's question was interrupted by the sound of a yell.
Responding to the yell, they noticed a group of six males, dressed in leather all armed with weapons such as a weighted chain, a lead pipe, a switchblade, a sledgehammer and a meat cleaver. The lead male with the blonde mohawk had a baseball bat over his shoulder. To the human man, they were a feared gang that would hurt you should you piss them off.
To the generals, however? If they had faces, they would look unimpressed
The leader stood forward, with an intimidating glare.
"Ya know where you are?"
Shadowshot looked on with an apathetic stare, but he also eyed the bat over his shoulder.
"Hmmm...looks strong and sturdy…"
His thoughts were interrupted by the mohawk guy.
"This is our turf!"
Soon the one with the hammer spoke.
"Yeah, our turf and you are in it, you circus freaks!"
The one with the pipe then opened his mouth
"So unless you want to live, I suggest that you crawl out of the Devil Sharks' turf right now!"
Hunterror soon began to chuckle as he stood up to his full height.
"So. The punks want to fight huh? Let's see if you are worthy of a hunt!"
He soon got up and delivered a strong left cross to the one with the pipe, sending him sprawling onto his back. The rest looked at the body in shock, then turned to Hunterror, who was taunting them to attack.
With rage, they began their assault. The one with the switchblade, flicked the blade open and made several attempts to stab Hunterror, but on the third attempt, he simply grabbed the hand, snatched the blade, kicked him several times and threw him into a nearby bin.
"Thank you for the trophy!" He said as he teleported it away back to the dark dimension.
The cleaver user tried an overhead strike, but it was blocked by an armoured arm. The result was getting punched in the stomach then a hammer fist to the head, knocking him out. Soon the sledgehammer man tried his turn, swinging the hammer like a mad man while the chain user swung his weapon to Hunterror. When Hunterror grabbed the hammer, he was about to rag doll the guy, when the chain wrapped around his left arm. Feeling the slight tug, he turned with an unimpressed glare to the user.
"Mercy?" he asked with an uneasy smile
"Out of mercy!" Was the answer, bringing his arm, causing him to fly into the hammer user, leaving them in a pathetic heap.
The pipe user tried to smash his head, however Hunterror just grabbed the piece of metal and wrenched it out of his hands. Bending it in half, the user looked on with terror and ran off, the scent of dung in the air.
Soon, the leader was now looking very frightened as Hunterror approached him, a menacing aura surrounding him.
"Now then, would you like to be battered or chopped?" He snarled, cracking his knuckles.
Just as he was about to strike, a pop rang through the air as a dart struck the bat user on the head and he collapsed, unconscious. Hunterror turned around and saw Shadowshot pointing one of his revolvers at him.
"REALLY?! THAT WAS MY PREY!" Hunterror roared.
Shadowshot just looked calm as he grabbed the bat that was on the floor.
"OK, why are you holding that?" Umbra asked.
Shadowshot just looked with a knowing eye-smile.
"Let me show you"
Pulling out the pentagram, Umbra and Hunterror saw and widened their eyes. They knew that magic was coming from it.
"Wait. Are you going to form...?" Umbra asked.
"Why yes, I am," Shadowshot responded, placing the pentagram on the head of the bat, it getting absorbed into the weapon.
Soon a larger set of pentagrams formed around the bat as wisps of purple magic surrounded the bat.
The bat floated into the air and soon it became a purple orb.
What came out was a creature with an extremely thin body, much like an enlarged baseball bat, with a red baseball helmet and a black eye in the middle, giving the impression of it being a cyclops. His arms were extremely thin like pipes coloured red and they were joined by a pair of spheres shaped like baseballs. Its legs were blue but the ankles were covered in a black material with white boots. Attached to the back were two smaller bats and it was holding a large baseball bat.
"Stepping up to the plate! Battertrasher!" He yelled in a high-pitched voice.
"The boss gave you a way to create a Jinn Bruiser?" Umbra said in an excited tone.
"Yes. And we can use him to gather more Nega energy for him to regain his strength. Unfortunately, it is only limited to one bruiser so we have to be wise about what to infect."
Turning to Battertrasher, he gave his orders.
"Take some Jynxers, my Jinn and cause havoc!"
"On it Boss!"
And Battertrasher began to swing his bat, sending a large potted plant into a building.
Soon, an alarm went off and the silver haired male came in with a frantic look.
"Avias! They did it! They formed a Jinn Bruiser!" Soon the screen lit up and a picture of the Bat wielding Jinn came onto the screen.
"What is that?!" Leni squealed in fear
"A jinn bruiser! They are created through Infectora's magic! I know you have a lot of questions but save them for later! Do you accept the role?"
They all looked at each other unsure about what to do. However, Drake stepped forward
"I accept. My dad always said you don't abandon your country or in this case, world. I am gonna fight for it and make sure they don't turn it into a wasteland."
It was then soon followed by Lincoln.
"I'm in! This is like Ace Savvy come to life! I can save the world like a superhero!"
Leni and Jordan stepped forward next
"If you are gonna fight, then as your sister, I'll fight with you! You are my only brother and I don't want you getting hurt.
"And you're my man. I'll fight with you for as long as it takes."
They all looked at Shade, who hadn't moved.
After a few seconds, he just shrugged and stepped forward.
"What the heck, I wanted some excitement anyways."
Avias smiled, as he pressed a button on the control pad and a case with five bird-like wristbands elevated from it.
"Take these. They are your Avian Strike morphers. Whenever you need to morph, yell out "Avian Strike! It's Time To Fly!"
"...Really?" Shade deadpanned.
"Look I didn't come up with it."
They all took the morphers and attached them onto their wrists. Avias soon teleported them back down to earth
Meanwhile back on Earth, the populus was running in fear as an army of Jynxers began to chase down random civilians as Battertrasher trailed behind them, waving his bat in a loose hand without a care in the world. Gripping his bat, he performed a mighty swing, smashing it into a car, causing it to slide into a random building.
"HA HA HA! Come on you puny dustrags! Who wants to step up to the plate?!" He yelled, as he summoned a small orb of energy in his hands. He then sent it to a group of running stragglers, which exploded.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps running towards him. Turning around, he saw the five humans on the other side.
"Well, looks like we got some all-stars ready to play ball." The Jinn cackled.
"You better be ready. You are not causing any more damage" Drake declared
"Hah! That's a laugh! Let's see you face off against my team of Jynxers!" He said as the Jynxers surrounded Battertrasher.
Shade decided to comment. "Well, let's step up to the plate. Shall we, fearless leader?"
Drake nodded and made the declaration.
"Let's do it!"
Bringing the wristbands to their face, the wristbands soon formed a bird head-shaped piece of metal. Pressing the eye, two wings shot from the sides as they flashed their colours. They soon made an X with their arms in front of them, getting ready to morph.
"AVIAN STRIKE…"
They then brought them down, then shot two fingers into the air.
"IT'S TIME TO FLY!"
(Morph Sequence: Drake)
The morpher shot to the sky, turning the sky red.
Drake then made an X with his arms before uncrossing them as a pair of wings shot from behind him. He then flew into the through the red clouds, which outfitted him in a red wingsuit with a lightning bolt on the chest, white coves with golden claws and a pair of white boots before diving back to the ground
When he landed, he stood up as a red hawk landed behind his head, forming a red helmet with bird like eyes and a pointed beak with three feathers wrapped around his head. A black visor then covers his eyes.
Sending his right fist to the lower left, he then brings it into the form of a salute with his left foot behind his right.
"Red Ranger! Ready for take off!"
(Morph Sequence: Leni)
The morpher shot to the sky, turning the sky teal
Leni then made an X with her arms before uncrossing them as a pair of wings shot from behind her. He then flew through the teal clouds, which outfitted him in a teal wingsuit with a lightning bolt on the chest, white gloves with golden claws and a pair of white boots before diving back to the ground.
When she landed, she stood up as a teal swan landed behind her head, forming a teal helmet with bird like eyes and a flat beak with three feathers wrapped around her head. A black visor then covers her eyes.
Slamming her palms together, she then swung them below her before bringing them full circle with her palms facing in the opposite direction.
"Teal Ranger! Ready for Take off!"
(Morph Sequence: Jordan)
The morpher shot to the sky, turning the sky yellow
Jordan then made an X with her arms before uncrossing them as a pair of wings shot from behind her. He then flew through the yellow clouds, which outfitted her in a yellow wingsuit with a lightning bolt on the chest, white gloves with golden claws and a pair of white boots before diving back to the ground
When she landed, she stood up as a yellow falcon landed behind her head, forming a yellow helmet with bird like eyes and a drill-like beak with three feathers wrapped around her head. A black visor then covers her eyes.
Crouching down, she then goes into a low sweep clockwise, before front flipping to her before scratching twice and baring her clawed gloves.
"Yellow Ranger! Ready for Take off!"
(Morph Sequence: Lincoln)
The morpher shot to the sky, turning the sky orange.
Lincoln then made an X with his arms before uncrossing them as a pair of wings shot from behind him. He then flew through the orange clouds, which outfitted him in an orange wingsuit with a lightning bolt on the chest, white gloves with golden claws and a pair of white boots before diving back to the ground
When he landed, he stood up as an orange sparrow landed behind his head, forming a red helmet with bird like eyes and a needle-like beak with three feathers wrapped around his head. A black visor then covers his eyes.
He then points his fingers in opposite directions into the top corners then swung them down before getting into a basic karate stance. (Think Miguel's stance from Cobra Kai)
"Orange Ranger! Ready for take off!"
(Morph Sequence: Shade)
The morpher shot to the sky, turning the sky black, the cloud then turning white.
Shade then made an X with his arms before uncrossing them as a pair of wings shot from behind him. He then flew through the black clouds, which outfitted him in a black wingsuit with a lightning bolt on the chest, white gloves with golden claws and a pair of white boots before diving back to the ground
When he landed, he stood up as a black raven landed behind his head, forming a red helmet with bird like eyes and a pointed beak with three feathers wrapped around his head. A black visor then covers his eyes.
He then slams a fist into his palm and cracks his neck before getting into a southpaw stance.
"Black Ranger! Ready for take off!"
As the lights died down, there stood the five newly minted rangers. They soon began to look over their uniforms
"WOAH! THIS IS AMAZING!" Lincoln said as he felt his helmet
"OM Gosh! Does this have to be spandex?" Leni spoke, feeling the material
"I Can breathe in this thing!" Jordan said as she twisted her body
"These claws are real?" Shade asked as he looked at them
"This suit is amazing!" Drake exclaimed, rolling his arms
While they were busy admiring, Battertrasher roared out in irritation.
"POWER RANGERS?! NOT IN THIS GAME! JYNXERS! ATTACK!"
Soon all of the Jynxers charged at the rangers, bringing their attention to the fight.
Drake grabbed a jynxer preparing to stab him, throwing him to the side as he roundhoused another. Another tried to grab him from behind and hold him in place but instead he brought his head back, headbutting him, knocking him off his arms as he whipped around and push-kicked him into a pile of crates.
"Man these powers are phenomenal!" Drake said in awe as he went to shoulder charge a trio of Jynxers.
Leni was currently surrounded by a group of Jynxers and on instinct, gave a swift kick to one in the pelvic area as it crumpled down in pain. When another tried to grab her shoulder she smacked it, sending it to the floor then pushed another one onto the fallen Jynxer, tripping it over.
"This is going to take some time to get used to…" She muttered as another tried a front attack to which she responded by uppercutting it.
Lincoln on the other hand was having the time of his life. He was going full force against the Jynxers, punching one in the chest then sweeping another. One tried to grab him but Lincoln grabbed a wooden plank and used it to slam the Jynxer over its head, disorienting it then doing a high kick, causing it to land on its back. He then proceeded to throw another one into an incoming group, causing them to pile up.
"I AM LOVING THIS!" He cheered as he then threw the broken bit of wood at another Jynxer, causing it to collapse.
Jordan was busy weaving her way through the pillars, causing the Jynxers to waste energy chasing her. Running to the wall, she leapt off of it, performing a double step kick, knocking them out.
"Got a real bounce in my step" Jordan couldn't help but pun before running to attack more Jynxers, by drop kicking two of them
Several Jynxers surrounded Shade as he eyed them circling around.
"Five on one huh? Such bad odds." Shade muttered as one tried to slash him but instead Shade shot his foot out to his stomach just as one coming from his left tried it's luck. It got a left cross to the chest and Shade grabbed it, flinging it to the other side. Two more tried to attack him from both sides, but Shade just stepped back, causing them to run into each other. Shade then banged their heads together, causing them to fall. The final one tried to rush him but Shade just kicked him in the uprights before knocking him back with an uppercut.
"Shame I been doing this for a long time" Shade finished as he ran off to join the rest of the rangers, but not before clotheslining one.
Suddenly, the Bat-wielding Jinn came on the attack, swinging his bat like a crazy person.
Drake tried to throw a punch but Battertrasher blocked it with his bat before kicking him out of the way. Leni came from the side but got a bat to the torso. Shade tried to ambush him by grabbing him from behind but the jinn just jammed the handle into his stomach as he broke free and ran off.
"Later Rangers! I'm not gonna be out yet!" He cackled.
"C'mon let's get him!" Drake ordered as the other Rangers chased after him.
Making their way to a wide area near the High School, the Rangers stood in front of Battertrasher, wielding his bat.
"It's the final inning! I'm ready to knock you out of the park!" he yelled.
"Does he HAVE to make baseball puns?" Jordan groaned.
"More importantly, do we have any weapons?" Drake asked, as they began to search for any weapons. They soon felt a holster on their belts pulling out a weird shaped pistol with a cuboid shaped muzzle and a turbine near the back. There was also a trigger with a rubber grip.
"We got pistols!" Shade said as soon they began to take aim at the bat, blasting it into little pieces.
"MY BAT! DARN YOU!" Battertrasher yelled in fury.
"These things pack a punch!" Leni spoke in awe as well as slight fear.
"They're as strong as a wild tornado!" Jordan commented.
"Perhaps we should call them our Tornado blasters?" Lincoln asked
Battertrasher was still enraged but then he calmed down, bringing out two smaller bats. "Good thing, I came prepared!" He yelled, as he began to charge two fireballs then striking them, sending them towards the rangers.
"Incoming fastballs!" Lincoln said as they all dived for cover
Soon, the rangers began firing, each blast being blocked by the smaller bats.
"Aw nuts, he's coming closer! Any close range weapons?" Shade asked Drake.
Quickly searching, he found a thin dagger-like weapon shaped like a goose quill.
"Found them! Quick pull them out!" Drake orders as the rangers pull out their daggers.
"What should we call these?" Leni asked.
"Worry about that later! We need to take this monster down!" Drake said as soon they began to rush the bat-wielding jinn.
Each one began launching a variety of slashes to the Jinn but they were avoided or blocked by the tinier bats in his hands. And each time, Battertrasher countered with hits from his bats.
Battertrasher then struck each one with his bats, causing sparks to fly from their suits
Soon, the rangers began to retreat a bit, both sides looking exhausted.
"We need to find a way to remove those bats." Muttered Drake
"Yeah, but how? He won't let go." Answered Leni.
Lincoln however was silent.
"Guys. I got a plan."
The rest of the rangers looked at Lincoln as he began whispering it into their ears.
"OK. Let's try it" Drake said. They all nodded and drew their daggers out and charged
Battertrasher saw this and got his bats ready.
"Back for the second inning, huh? Bring it on!"
Drake ran forward with an overhead slash to which was blocked by the two bats in an X-formation. Both were struggling to overpower the other.
"HA HA! STRIKE ONE, RANGER! YOU'LL NEVER OVERPOWER ME!" He crowed but Drake remained silent.
Soon Shade and Leni came from both sides and struck his wrists with all their might, causing Battertrasher to yell in agony as he flung his bats into the air. Soon Jordan and Lincoln took their blasters, blasting the bats into pieces.
"NO, MY BATS!" He cried out.
"No more weapons. No more chances." Lincoln said, pointing his blaster. Soon, all the rangers gathered together, Tornado Blasters pointed.
"You're about to be knocked out of the park" Jordan finished.
"Oh, this is gonna hurt…" Battertrasher muttered as they all aimed.
"TORNADO BLASTERS! FIRE!" They all yelled, firing off their blasters. The lasers made contact with his body as he began to spark.
"THREE STRIKES! I'M OUT OF THE GAME!" The jinn yelled as he collapsed then exploded.
Soon the rangers collapsed, exhausted.
"Did we really do that?" Shade had to ask.
"Oh yeah." Drake answered. Soon, a tornado appeared and teleported the rangers back to the temple
On top of a building, Shadowshot, Hunterror and Umbra were looking on in shock and disdain.
"Power Rangers?!" roared Hunterror
"Then that means we know who sent that hurricane" mused Shadowshot.
"We need to let the boss know." Umbra replied. "He's not gonna like this…"
Soon a black portal opened on the ground as they leapt into it.
Back at the temple all of the new Rangers were talking with their helmets off but still in their suite
"That was insane!" Lincoln spoke as he collapsed on one of the mats.
"And to think we agreed to this." Leni mumbled from her position of her lying on her back facing the sky.
"I know it's difficult. But with the right training and experience, you can become phenomenal rangers, much like the rest of the ranger teams from the other dimensions." Avias spoke to them
All five looked at him with awe and determination. Soon they saw the two other residents of the temple.
"Oh right, I forgot. I would like to meet two of my trusted allies: This is Motrix' He said, presenting the grey haired male in the green jumpsuit. 'He is the mechanic and tech expert. He helped craft your morphers and weapons."
In a jumpy voice. "I also have been crafting something rather special for you guys should the time come. And with that Jinn now free, I think we need them soon."
And to the black Tengu in the gi. "This is Windform. He'll be training your bodies making you combat ready."
In a gruff voice, he spoke. "You got lucky this time, but you may face off against an enemy with a better fighting style. I'll help you develop your styles in the fight against the Jinn army."
Avias soon faced the rangers. "I know that the road to saving the world will be difficult, but if you feel like you're not up to it. I won't force you into a war you're not comfortable with."
"Hey, we already took down one Jinn. We may as well see this all the way through." Drake said.
All of the Rangers agreed and soon Avias teleported them back down to Earth, with a few words left in their ears.
"When you need to get to the temple, just call. I'll bring you up."
After a few seconds of silence, Lincoln decided to speak.
"So we're Power Rangers, huh? I think this may be one crazy adventure."
Everyone murmured in agreement.
"But we cannot tell anyone. Those guys may use them against us." Drake said as he looked at his new team.
They all agreed.
"So, you guys ready to blow some Jinn away?" He said with a smirk.
Everyone also smile as they held their hands out.
"Either day or night! Power Rangers will take flight!" They yelled, throwing their hands into the air.
"Man that was so corny." Shade said with a chuckle which was shared with everyone else.
In Infectora's temple, the head Jinn was currently simmering in fury. His generals had told them the news and they left as soon as he began to build up dark energy.
"So Avias is alive? And he recruited POWER RANGERS?!" He growled. He then stood up, grabbing his glaive.
"No Matter…Avias, your little soldiers may have one this time. But I WILL break free and this whole world will become my personal Kingdom" He then let out a loud bellowing laugh, which could be heard throughout the temple.
