Disclaimer: Power Rangers belongs to SABAN!!!! Unlike when I started this back when Disney technically owned it but had abandoned it. The characters, places, and powers, however, are my own creation. If anyone wants play in this universe, I encourage it! But please do let me know so that I can read it and please credit and link back to me. :) Thank you!
A/N: Power Rangers Stellar Force, Chapter 1: First Impressions, Part 1 can be found
here on DW and
here on LJ. You definitely have to read that one first. I originally started writing this when Disney announced they would not be making a new season of PR, so I figured I'd start my own. As I recall, chapter 1 got a pretty good response, and with Morphicon making me want ALL THE POWER RANGERS, I figured I'd work on this. ^_^ Hope you guys enjoy.
Summary:This is an Original Team Power Rangers fic. Halfway through the school year, a new student enrolls in Rush Academy boarding school.
Power Rangers Stellar Force, Chapter 2: First Impressions, Part 2
“What do we do?” Marcus asked, just as another shower of lasers came down.
“We run!” Carson said.
“No!” Jase told them, staring determinately at the ship. “We fight.”
“What?!” Marcus asked in disbelief.
“Didn’t you hear what he said?” Jase said, turning towards them.
“I was really paying more attention to not getting my head blown off,” Marcus countered.
She ignored him, Morphers.”
“So?” Carson asked, his eyes, fixed on the ship.
“What, you’ve never heard of the Power Rangers? Don’t you know what these are?”
“Power Rangers?” Marcus asked, suddenly putting the pieces together.
“Oh no!” Carson objected, backing away.
“Carson-” Jase started.
“No! I don’t want to be a Power Ranger. I don’t want to have anything to do with this.”
“Do you think it’s what I had in mind? It doesn’t change anything.” Jase held up the device she had picked up, “These are ours now.”
Carson looked at the one he was holding. “No,” he said, tossing the object to Marcus, “They’re yours. I’m out.”
“Carson!” Jase called after him, as he turned, running towards the building.
“Looks like it’s just the two of us,” Marcus said, looking at the two devices he was holding.
The courtyard was still chaos, and at some point during their argument, Jarek had teleported back off the ship. Except this time he wasn’t alone. Surrounding him where a dozen identical black and orange creatures.
“Drones, find my morphers! And bring me those who have stolen them!” Jarek shouted loud enough to be heard across the courtyard.
“Yeah, against an army,” Jase said, answering Marcus’s comment, as she strapped the device to her wrist. Marcus looked between the two he was holding. He shoved Carson’s into his pocket, putting on the other.
“So, how do these things work?” Jase asked, looking at her wrist.
Marcus blinked, “You’re asking me?”
“Well you’re the one who figured out the teleportation thing, and the one who got us out of that cell.”
“Yeah, but...” he looked up to see two of the creatures running straight at them. “Damn it!”
“Guess we’ll have to figure it out,” Jase said falling into a defensive stance.
One of the Drones lunged at her, but she managed to duck out of the way. It recovered faster than she had expected, hitting her in the stomach. She groaned, falling backwards into another one of the Drones. She spun away from it, kicking it square in the chest.
Marcus had blocked the first two punches one of the Drones threw at him, but the third landed hard. A second Drone promptly took advantage of the situation, kicking him in the gut. He stumbled, supporting himself on a lamp post while he caught his breath. He didn’t have long to recover as both Drones came after him. He lunged forward, striking one in the shoulder, then he managed to shove it into the other.
The people in the courtyard had managed to clear out by now, and the Drones had realized that Jase and Marcus where the ones in possession of the morphers.
One of the Drones had grabbed Jase from behind, but she used his hold to kick another with both feet, throwing her, and the Drone holding her backwards to the ground. It released it’s grip and she rolled out of the way. She managed to hit two of the drones before another grabbed her wrist, and threw her to the ground.
Marcus hit the ground hard, landing far to close to another Drone. He scrambled to his feet, just to have both his arms grabbed by another one. He dropped to his knees, kicking the legs out from under the first Drone, then the second. He barely had time to stand up before a blow from behind send him flying.
He landed just a few feet from Jase. “You all right?” she asked as she helped him to his feet.
“Yeah,” he groaned. “But I’m starting to think this was a really bad idea.”
The Drones in front of them started forward. “I don’t suppose you’ve figured these things out, have you?” Jase asked.
“Oh you mean in all my spare time in between getting thrown around the courtyard like a football?”
Suddenly, something flew through the air, knocking the lead Drone to the ground.
“Carson!” Jase and Marcus called in unison, running up to him as he stood up.
“You came back!” Jase exclaimed.
“Yeah, well I couldn’t very well leave you here to get your butts kicked. Where’s my morpher?” he asked.
Marcus pulled the device out of his pocket and handed it to him. Carson turned it over once before strapping it to his wrist, “So what now?”
But even as he asked it, as the three of them stood there, outnumbered more than four to one, they knew exactly what to do. Jase stepped between Carson and Marcus, “Ready guys?” She asked, holding her wrist out in front of her chest.
“Ready,” they agreed in unison, mimicking her gesture.
“Stellar Force, illuminate!” all three of them called at once. They spun the dial on each of their morphers, first pulling their arms back, crossing them over their head, and finally bringing them forward, hitting the activation on their morphers as they did so. In a bright flash of Yellow, Red, and Blue light, the three teenagers morphed into the Yellow, Red, and Blue Stellar Force Rangers.
“Whoa,” Carson said, looking at his newly yellow clad arms.
“That,” Marcus grinned, now the Blue Stellar Force Ranger, “was awesome.”
“That was beyond awesome!” Jase laughed in amazement, as she examined her new red suit.
“YOU!” A voice suddenly screamed from behind the Drones. Jarek shoved them aside, storming forward. The rangers fell into a defensive stance in unison. “Those belong to me!” he shouted.
“I don’t think so,” Jase said.
“You will give me those morphers back, or I will take them by force!”
“Go ahead and try,” Carson, dared, pointing at him.
“Drones, attack!” Jarek yelled.
The rangers raced forwards, running to meet the approaching Drones. Jase hit the first one in the face, then spun around kicking another in the chest, flipping another over her when it grabbed her by the arm.
Carson struck two of them in the chest at once, then used the hunched over Drones as support to kick a third with both feet.
Marcus landed three hard blows to one Drone, then dropping to the ground, he spun around, kicking the legs out from the three that surrounded him.
Carson pushed of the wall, to send him flying feet first into a crowd of the creatures, taking three down as he plowed into them. One grabbed him before he regained his balance, but he used the opportunity to kick down another one, then used his weight to flip the first over his head,throwing it to the ground.
Jase threw a roundhouse kick to one of the Drones. She ducked out of the way as two of them ran for her from opposite sides, and used a lamppost to spin around, kicking one into the other.
The three rangers regrouped as the Drones struggled to pick themselves up. When they did, they ran straight for their ship, disappearing into a flash of green, leaving Jarek alone to face the three Power Rangers.
He let out a low growl, “This isn’t over, rangers!” he spat out the word. “When I’m through with you and your pathetic planet, you’ll wish you had never stood up against me!” he shouted, before vanishing into a beam of green light. Moments later, the giant ship over the mall courtyard lifted up, and in the blink of an eye, flew out of site.
“Power down!” Jase called, throwing her arms down. Marcus and Carson did the same, their suits vanishing into a yellow, red and blue light.
Carson let out a laugh, “We did it. I can’t believe it.”
“That was incredible! We’re Power Rangers!” Jase exclaimed.
“It’s unreal,” Marcus said, examining his morpher. “Tyler and Brian are never gonna believe this.”
“Wait, you’re not gonna go around telling everyone about this,” Carson said.
“Of course not. It’s just Tyler and Brian.”
“No!”
“Carson’s right,” Jase agreed. “We can’t tell anyone.”
Marcus looked back down at his morpher, “Yeah,” he said slowly, as he realized the true implications of what had just happened. “I guess you’re right. So, what are we supposed to do now?”
“I’ve got to go find Melanie, you two do what you want,” Carson told them, taking off before they could argue.
“Wait!” Jase called after him anyway. She sighed, “Well he’s gonna be the dependable one.”
“We should get back to the school. We’ll meet tomorrow to talk?” Marcus asked.
Jase nodded.
“Ok, you need a ride?”
“No, I’ve got my bike.”
“Lunch at the west courtyard? You know where it is?”
“I’ll find it.
***
Jase sighed, “Did you tell Carson what time?”
“Yes.”
“Well where is he? We where supposed to meet 20 minutes ago.”
Marcus ignored her, eating another fry.
“Hey!” she said slapping his hand away, “Get your own.”
“Well you’re not eating them.”
“All right, let’s make this fast,” Carson said, coming up to the table.
“There you are. We where supposed to meet at noon,” Jase told him.
“I was busy.”
“Busy? You don’t think this is a little more important?” she demanded.
“Yeah? Who made you the boss?” Carson asked, sitting down.
“I am the Red Ranger,” Jase said.
“Yeah, why is that?” Marcus asked.
“What?”
“Well, isn’t the Red Ranger usually a guy?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Marcus shrugged, “I’m just saying.”
Carson snickered.
“Yeah, really funny, guys.”
“Hey, looked what I figured out,” Marcus said. He pressed a button on the side of his morpher. At the same time, both Carson and Jase’s morpher’s beeped.
“What is is?” Jase looked, pressing the same button.
“A communicator,” Marcus said into his morpher. His voice came in through her morpher, “We can talk to each other if we need to.”
“You couldn’t have mentioned this 20 minutes ago?” Jase asked, eyeing Carson.
“I told you, I was busy.”
“Well you’d better get whatever you where doing out of your system fast. That monster’s gonna be back, and I doubt he’s going to wait around till it’s convenient for you, to attack,” she told him.
Carson stared at the morpher on his wrist. He still didn’t like this whole thing. Melanie had apparently totally freaked out when she had heard about the attack, and, as annoying as she could be at times, she was his cousin, and it was his job to protect her.
But, he looked up at Jase and Marcus, the planet was under attack by aliens. This, he looked back down at the morpher, might be the only way to protect her. And everyone else. “All right,” he said finally, “I’m in.”
