Hello there.
Welcome my fellow Rangers to the next chapter of Power Rangers Legacy II: Dino Hope.
I hope your going to enjoy it and now to the review.
johnnyescamilla5: Happy you liked it. And I feel like someone should say it, but it's Ms. Morgan.
And now on to the story.
Henry was woken up on Saturday morning when his alarm went off. Sitting up in his king size bed, he rubbed a hand through his messy bed hair as with the other he took his phone from the nightstand. Putting on some music which could be heard through the entire apartment through its smart system before he kicked off his yellow blankets as he went about his morning routine.
Once out of bed, he immediately fell face first to the floor, falling into a push up position as he went for his usual set of a 100 push-ups, followed by rolling on his back before doing a 100 sit-ups before he went to the treadmill in his room where he went for a 10 kilometer run.
Once that was finished, he went for a refreshing showed. Drying himself of, he put on a pair of briefs as he stood in front of the mirror displaying his fit body, as he began to brush his teeth.
On his clothes laying on the counter next to him, his phone vibrated and the music stopped as he was getting a call. Spitting out the tooth paste, he looked at the screen showing that the caller was 'Unknown'.
He accepted the call, "Henry here." he said, putting the device to his ear.
"Morning Morgenstern, it's me Ms. Morgan." the voice of Kendall said on the other side of the line, "Are you in the bathroom?"
"No, I'm at the subway. Of course, I'm in the bathroom." Henry said, "How did you get my number?" He didn't recall giving his contact information out to anyone.
"From your personal file." Kendall said, "One we have of all our employees."
"Oh, right." he said, "So what's up?"
"I need you to come to the Command Lab." she told him, "The others are already on the way."
"Sure, be there soon." Henry said before getting a grin, "So is this your privet number or... She hung up."
Pulling into his privet parking lot of the Dinosaur Museum in his dark yellow BMW M8 Cabrio. He just closed the roof when he spotted a purple Audi RS3 Sportback pull up next to him and to his surprise it was driven by Kendall.
"I'm surprised you can look over the steering wheel." Henry said playfully as she got out of her car, "Good morning Kendall."
"Glad you can at least show up on time." Kendall said, locking her car behind her, "And it's Ms. Morgan."
"It seems we're both German car enjoyers. Very nice." Henry said approvingly looking at her car before he noticed she already started to walk. "So what did you need me for on this fine Saturday morning?" he quickly caught up.
"Well your office is ready. Not sure who will get the unenviable task, but you should know where it is before you start on Monday." Kendall said as they entered the museum, "And I need you to go over something."
"Alright, sound simple enough." Henry said before he greeted the receptionist he had seen the previous day, giving her a charming smile something the woman appreciated.
He had spotted the disapproving look Kendall gave him before she rolled her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Henry said, "I'm just being nice."
"Right." Kendall said as she led him up the stairs and into her office where the elevator to the Command Lab was located, "Guys like you are always just being nice."
"What's that suppose to me? Well I can't help it if women find me charming." Henry said as they stepped into the elevator which began to move down, "Which is kind of weird. You don't look at me with calming fascination. Are you immune to my charms?"
"Your charms? Calling them that is a bit of a stretch." Kendall scoffed, "Truth be told, I find you repulsive." as the elevator reach the bottom.
Inside the lab, Tyler, Chase, Riley and Shelby were already there. Riley was practicing his sword moves using a tennis ball launcher, while Chase was working on his skateboard. Tyler, now being a busboy at the Dino Café and wearing the appropriate uniform was talking to Shelby.
Walking up to each other, Henry and Tyler fist bumped. "Please Chase." Kendall said as she moved to remove Chase's skateboard from the table, "This is a sterile laboratory, not a garage."
"Could have fooled me." Henry said when Shelby turned to him.
"Hey, Henry. Why is Tyler dressed like that?" Shelby said, "We're rangers now, you know? Busy saving the world."
But before he could answer, Kendall cut him off. "Sometimes your busy saving the world and sometimes your busy flipping burgers. Today it's burgers."
"Yeah, that. Your still going to need money right? And this way, we have an excuse if we need to disappear to fight some aliens." Henry said crossing his arms, "Burgers though? I'm more in the mood for curry. But my grandparent's place isn't exactly around the corner and any other curry is just gross by comparison. Oh, we should really go there some day. They run this small restaurant in Harwood County."
"Hey, I think I read about it." Riley said, "It's famous for it's curry right?"
"I see your a man of taste, Riley. Yes, that is them." Henry said with a grin, "It's one of the reasons I loved sleeping over at grandpa Light and grandma Mia."
"Your grandpa's name is Light?" Chase said.
"I know, a bit weird." Henry said, "I think my great grandma was a bit of a hippy or something." just as he heard a yawn from behind.
It was a shirtless Koda, wearing a pair of black short showing off his muscular upper body. "Damn son." Henry said impressed, "You make me feel out of shape."
"I heard something about... food?" Koda said with a big grin.
"Koda, do you..." Tyler said, gesturing to the entrance he had come from, "Do you sleep in that cave?"
"Yes." Koda said with a nod and a grin, "My home."
"I prefer my home with AC." Henry said, "But you do you."
"Koda found the blue Energem a hundred thousand years ago. During the Pleistocene era." Kendall informed them, "So unlike you Morgenstern, Koda is an actual caveman."
"How is that possible?" Riley said confused.
"Once he bonded to an Energem, he stopped aging." Kendall said, "None of you will age when you're bonded to an Energem."
"So I'll stay 18?" Shelby said with a smile, "This job got some great benefits."
"And I will always look like this." Chase said with a grin.
"But I don't want to outlive my twin." Henry whined, "Me and Ana are like fish and chips. Salt and pepper. Hipsters and condescension!"
"I guess there's some negatives too..." Shelby admitted.
"But we are not just here to speak of Energems." Henry said, leaning against the table, "I believe you wanted to go over something."
"Yes, it's about what happened at the restaurant yesterday." Kendall said, typing something at her console, pulling up camera feed of the Dino Café.
It showed Henry entering the Café and Shelby slipping over the spilled soda. As if the feed skipped a frame, Henry moved out of the doorway and caught Shelby before catching the order.
"I know, that was very cool." he said pointing to where he caught the order with the trey, "So, what's wrong with it?"
"Well how did you move from the door way half way across the café and caught Shelby?" Kendall said, as she repeated that particular piece of the video.
"Yeah, that's impossible." Riley said, having looked at the footage with them.
"Riley, nothing is impossible." Henry said with a grin, "When your Henry Morgenstern!"
Suddenly an alarm went off and a display of Earth showed up above the central table. The Rangers and Kendall gathered around to see five red squares flying towards the planet.
"Several objects entered Earth's atmosphere." Kendall said.
"Oh, interesting." Henry said, "Hope they come in peace." as he and the Rangers where off.
In the forest surrounding Amber Beach's North side, the Rangers came across a group of aliens, a pink one with hearts around her, a blue mechanical looking one and one with grip claws for hands. They where accompanied by several white and green humanoid aliens with heads covered in bronze.
"If it isn't the Ranger's." the pink one said.
"What are you?" Tyler said, "A walking lollipop?"
"Well, it's lovely to meet you too... Not!" the pink one said, "Allow me to introduce the most magnificent, intergalactic bounty hunter in the universe..."
"Samus Aran!?" Henry said excited and with a big smile.
"What?" the Pink one said confused, "No!"
"Boba Fett?" Henry said still excited but his smile dropping but going by how the alien reacted it wasn't him, "Jango Fett?"
But instead, a hulking green alien in spiky rusty armor and glowing red eyes comes flying out of the sky with his jetpack.
"The one and only, my future husband." the pink one said, wrapping an arm around him, "Sledge!"
"My disappointment is immeasurable." Henry said, "And my day is ruined."
"I'll be ruining more than just your day, Ranger." Sledge said, "Your the one who stole my Energems."
He suddenly heard Koda sniff the air before letting out a low growl, "Fury." he said, looking up in the direction of a hill. Henry glanced to the side, and looking down on them was some sort of large bipedal red and yellow alien creature.
"That's him..." Tyler muttered.
But a swirl of red mist came into view before it formed into keeper, someone Sledge seemed to recognize.
"Keeper, my dear old friend." Sledge said, "You thought blowing up my ship would stop me? Think again. Now I will destroy you and leave this planet with the Energems."
"The Energems belong to no one. Especially not to you." Keeper said, "The Rangers posses the powers of the Energems and the strength of ancient dinosaurs. If you try to take the Energems, it is you who will be destroyed."
Sledge growled as Keeper disappeared as quickly as he came in the same mist.
"Thanks for the help!" Henry said sarcastically, "Bastard orange Yoda."
The Rangers picked up their Morphers, but before they could transform, Sledge unleashed a barrage of green energy blasts from his hand cannon, covering the Rangers in a fiery explosion as the following thick smoke covered the area.
Sledge chuckled as the pink one laughed with childlike glee at the apparent destruction of the Rangers.
"So..." A voice said next to Sledge, "Think you got them?"
"Yeah, I did." Sledge said looking to his left to see the Yellow Ranger leaning against his shoulder with his arms crossed. At once, Sledge aimed for his head and took the shot but in that split second, Yellow Ranger appeared on his other side.
"Seriously?" Yellow Ranger said, using his Dino Charge Blaster to gun down a few of the foot soldiers, "Why don't you just mail me the lasers?"
"Don't hug all the fun!" Red Ranger said as he joined in the fight against Sledge, while the others took on the foot soldiers and the two lieutenants, though the pink one had made her escape..
Sledge attacked, firing a laser from his canon, though the Rangers expertly dodged. Red Ranger went on the offensive, pressing Sledge back. But as he threw another punch, Sledge caught it in his own, pulling Red Ranger forward to knee him in the stomach. Red hunched over, trying to catch his breath, only to have his chest meet Sledge's fist sending him flying as well as demorphing him.
Looking over his shoulder, Yellow Ranger saw that the rest of his team where knocked back and now laid demorphed on the ground.
"Last warning, Rangers!" Sledge said, "Hand over the Energems in one hour, or I'll blow this planet into pieces!"
And with that the bounty hunter and his henchmen teleported away. The Yellow Ranger demorphed as the other Rangers got back on their feet.
"One hour." Koda said, "How long is that."
"Sixty minutes." Henry said, "But what the hell guys and girl! That wasn't a very good showing."
"Yeah." Riley said with a nod, "We need to come up with a plan to take him down together."
"Right, so anyone got any idea's?" Henry said, looking around the group but he saw that Tyler was distracted, "Yo, T. Want to chip in?"
"Something is not right." Tyler said, looking in the direction where Fury had gone off to, "I'm gonna follow him."
He was about to put, Shelby place a hand on his shoulder. "I know you want answers about your dad but..." she said.
"It's not about my dad." Tyler said, "Fury was signaling him. I got a hunch."
"Forget your hunch, we're a team now." Chase said, "We got to work together or we don't stand a chance."
"And that's why I'm going with Tyler." Henry said, nodding to the Red Ranger before the two were off, "See you guys back at the base!"
Sticking to the trees, Henry and Tyler followed after Fury. It wasn't long until they come to an open spot with large stone littered through out. Fury suddenly comes to a stop as he began to sniff the air. Henry gestured that they needed to hide and so they did.
Taking cover behind separate rocks, the alien turned around, "That stench... It smells almost like human." he growled as he turned around and walked back.
From his hiding spot, Henry heard the footsteps come closer, not knowing which one Fury was approaching, he readied his blaster.
But before shot's could have been fired, the voice of Sledge called Fury over.
"Master Sledge." Fury said, "Is your plan on schedule?"
"So far, the Rangers took the bait and leading Scrapper right to their base." Sledge said, "Once he tells me the location, we'll scourge the place. And finally the Energems will be mine!"
Footsteps led away from their place, the two waited with bathed breath until they were certain the aliens had left. Making absolutely sure the coast was clear, Henry walked over to Tyler.
"They are going to destroy the base." Tyler said, taking out his Communicator, he attempted to contact the others but it had been broken by the previous battle.
"Okay, this isn't working." Henry said, making a quick decision, "I guess it's the only way."
He moved next to Tyler, taking a hold of his arm and placing a hand against his neck.
"What are you doing?" Tyler said confused.
"I'm holding your neck so you don't get whiplash." Henry said, as if stating the obvious.
From Henry's point of view, time seemed to slow down to a crawl before he rushed through the forest and back to the city, taking Tyler with him. From Tyler's point of view, he was in the forest one moment before they appeared in front of the museum.
"What..." Tyler said but he suddenly felt his stomach act up and he had to try his best to keep his lunch down.
"Your good." Henry said patting him on the back, "It will pass, it happens with everyone."
He turned around just to see the other Rangers running towards them, each of them surprised to see them already there.
"Henry? Tyler? How are you two..." Shelby said before noticing Tyler, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Tyler said, "Guys, Sledge wasn't going to give us one hour. He send an alien to follow you back to the base. He was going to tell Sledge where it is, so he could get the Energems."
"Sounds about right." Henry said before noticing a strange claw swinging from various objects. Pulling out his blaster, he took aim and hit it in mid-air, forcing it to return into its full Alien form, "And that's Scrapper, who was suppose to tell the location."
"Nice shot, mate." Chase said impressed.
"It's nothing, all in the wrist." Henry said, twirling the blaster in his hand, "Now then. Let's finish this."
The Rangers morphed once again as Scrapper called forth more of the foot soldiers, who where called Vivix and the two sides charged at each other.
Black Ranger dodging one of the alien's attack with a shoulder role, using his blaster to gun a few down. The Green Ranger used his sword to deflect the Vivix attack and roll to the side, readying himself for their next move. One managed to intercept the attack, before tossing him to the side as he struggles to break free.
While fighting another group, Blue Ranger grabs two by the throat, lifting them off the ground and slamming them down so hard that they bounced up and left a small crater.
Yellow Ranger notices the Vivix holding up their weapons, ready to fire. The world slowed down around him as he destroyed the group punching them so fast their head's caved in.
The Vivix went flying and hit the pavement from the force.
Without looking he blocked a behind attack from behind from Scrapper. "Sneaky." Yellow Ranger taunted, blocking the strike with his sword, he unleashed a rapid series of attacks against Scrapper, and was driving them back in a steady offensive march.
Red, Pink and Blue continue to fight more Vivix with their weapons, when a group of them was destroyed by Black Ranger using his Blaster. Several Vivix have lined up to fire their weapons at them, when Green Ranger flies through the air and sliced them to pieces.
"Your slow, Ranger." Scrapper taunted, "Your blade skills need some work!"
"I'm not the best with a sword, yes." Yellow Ranger said, swatting him aside before aiming his blaster at his face part, "So how about a kiss from this?", landing a point blank headshot with his blaster. The ground shook as multiple Vivix pilled on each other and began to melt together as they grew to giant size.
"Oh, that's not good." Yellow Ranger noted, but the ground shook once again.
A roar echoed through the skies, the reason for the shaking ground. The Rangers looked up to see a pair of red glowing eyes from behind the clouds.
Diving down from them, the red eyes belonged to a large mechanized yellow dragon Zord with three heads and massive wings come flying down.
"Is that my Zord?" Yellow Ranger said awed, "Please let Ghidorah be my Zord."
The Zord swooped down, slamming the Vivizord into the ground. Two of its heads dig into the Vivizord's arms as they chomped down into them.
With a painful roar, the Zord ripped it's arms off. Tossing the arms aside which began to disintegrate into dust. The Zord's two arms gripped the massive jaws of the Vivizord, prying it open as the Zord shot a massive beam of white energy down it's throat.
It began to disintegrate as the Zord turned it's attention to Scrapper.
It's left head reached down and managed to catch it in it's jaws. Shaking it around, the Zord's jaw closed down, crushing the alien into a fine paste.
With a great wingbeat, the Zord took back off to the sky. He had entered, killed a giant alien, didn't explain anything, and left.
"You know if I got a dollar for every time a Zord came out of nowhere and saved the day, I would now have two dollars." Yellow Ranger said to the other Rangers, "Which isn't a lot but it's strange it happened twice."
There you go, end of the chapter, hope you enjoyed. I originally was going to have Henry's Zord be a serpetine dragon, like the Red Ranger's Thunderzord but then I thought, no let's do Ghidorah seeing as the Dragonzord already reminds me of Godzilla.
Many thanks to everyone who reads, reviews, favorite or follows this story, you beauties. For now I wish you all a fantastic day and I hope to see you ladies and gents next time.
May the Power protect you.
