Power Rangers: Lion Force Episode 18 "The Coming Of Green: Part 2: The Sixth" by DinoBot Setting: SpaceDollar Cafe In the city of Terra Venture, at a restaurant known as SpaceDollar. It is rather early in the morning, but a good many people are already there, most of them eating their breakfast. Among the people there are Leo and Damon, who are seated at the bar, talking to themselves. Leo: Man, this is a really cool place to eat, huh? Damon yawns: Yeah. It's a nice hangout, like Central Perk in Friends Maya walks up to them and places a small, grey device on the table in front of them. The device is the size of a TV remote. Maya: I just received this message from RaptorCon She presses a flashing button on the device and a holographic image of RaptorCon appears. RaptorCon: Rangers, I'm going on an off-world mission and I need a volunteer to come with me, any takers? Kai: Well I can't come, I have duties to attend to, as does Daimon Leo: And I have to stay here, in case Kendrix goes into labour Maya: Wait, I'll go with you RaptorCon... RaptorCon: Fine, get to the colony entrance in 2 and a half hours.... The image of RaptorCon crackles and fades away. Kai and Leo turn to face Maya. Kai: So, you're going to help RaptorCon. Leo: You'll be all alone with him, in space... Daimon: Are you sure he won't try to eat you? Leo; He's ok, but he never stops eating, and if he gets VERY hungry, he might just decide to have roast Miranite for lunch Setting: Terra Venture - Entrance - 2 hours 30 minutes later The bridge to Terra Venture is guarded by armed GSA troopers. Occasionally, a Venture vehicle or transport vehicle will enter or leave. A venture vehicle drives out, and drives a short distance away from the colony entrance. Maya climbs out. She waits by the vehicle for a few moments, before she is engulfed in a flash of pink energy and teleported away. Setting: Starship Bridge Maya is teleported onto the bridge. She looks around in amazement. Maya: Wow... RaptorCon: Take a seat, we're about to lift off... Maya sits down and RaptorCon presses a button on the console in front of him and metal restraints fly into position around her waist and shoulders. Seatbelts. RaptorCon: And away we go.... Setting: Lake Okaboege The glassy calm of the lake is suddenly disturbed. The water begins bubbling and erupting. The next instant, a massive geyser of water erupts and out flies the Lion Star. Five time as big as the Astro MegaShip, it bears a resemblance to the MegaShip crossed with the Delta MegaShip. Setting: LionStar - Bridge RaptorCon grips the controls tightly as the Lion Star is buffeted by turbulence as it rockets through the sky and into space. RaptorCon: YEHAAA He looks across at Maya, who is not looking well at all. RaptorCon: What's the matter, don't like flying? RaptorCon smiles as Maya does her best not to throw up. A few seconds later, the turbulence ceases. RaptorCon: Are you unwell?. If you're unwell, then you have to go to the medical quarters as you'll be no good to me if you're puking all the time... Maya: I'm fine, it's just the turbulence made me queasy is all RaptorCon taps a few buttons on the console and sits back in his chair, putting his feet up on the console. Computer: Auto-pilot engaged. Course locked in for Sector 843 Maya: Where are we going? RaptorCon: Sector 843 Maya: Why? RaptorCon: To retrieve something, and before you ask what, I'll tell you when we get there... Setting: Sector 843 - 4 Hours Later The LionStar rockets into Sector 843, then slowly comes into orbit around a green/blue world. Setting: LionStar - Bridge RaptorCon: Ok, we're here... Maya: Now will you tell me what you're here to retrieve? RaptorCon: Of course, I'm here to retrieve the prototype morphers that were used to create the Lion Force powers Setting: Planet Caldron RaptorCon and Maya teleport down to the surface of the world, which is surprisingly Earth like. RaptorCon and Maya are standing on the edge of a huge, blue lake. Maya: How did those powers get all the way out here? And shouldn't we tell the others about this? RaptorCon: FireStorm will be filling them in, and as for how they got here, it's simple RaptorCon takes out the scanning device and studies the display. RaptorCon: When the Lion Force powers were created, SEVEN Rangers were planned, the sixth morphers have been lost for over a thousand years while the seventh set of powers, the prototype powers, were placed here, on the planet Caldron RaptorCon walks off, with Maya following next to him. Setting: Space - Caldron Orbit A teleportation beam silently slices through space and slams into Caldron. Setting: Somewhere on Caldron RaptorCon and Maya stop by the edge of a huge grassy plain. In the middle of the plain is a rocky outcropping, and resting on it are the prototype morphers for the Lion Force powers. RaptorCon: Ok, you wait here, I'll go get the Morphers Before Maya can object, RaptorCon is running across the plain at full pelt. He is almost at the rocky outcropping when a green teleport beam slams into the ground just in-front of him, sending him crashing backwards. RaptorCon: Ok, that was SO RUDE The teleportation beam coalesces into a humanoid form. RaptorCon: Oh not you... The teleportation beam fades away, revealing the Emerald Herald. The shimmering around him stops and we get our first look at him. He's not much to look at as he's wearing a long, flowing green hooded robe and green gloves. Emerald Herald: Halt monster, you will go no further Pink Lion Force Ranger flies up and stands between them. Pink Lion Force Ranger: NO. RaptorCon is a friend RaptorCon: It's ok Maya, I can handle this... Pink Lion Force Ranger backs away, but stays within earshot. RaptorCon: Answer me this herald, if you're here, what about your test? How can you conduct this test while you're here with me? Emerald Herald: The test must be even, you are about to tilt the balance of power in your favour RaptorCon: Of course I am, I work for the good guys RaptorCon takes out the scanning device and keys in a command, then shows it to Emerald Herald. He Herald takes the scanning device and studies the display. RaptorCon: Conundrum The scanning device lets out a massive burst of power that wraps around the Emerald Herald, shocking him into unconsciousness. RaptorCon: That was easy RaptorCon walks up to the rocks and grabs the morphers, then returns to Maya, who has powered down. RaptorCon: Ok then, now we can head back to Miranoi The two of them are then enveloped in the soft glow of the teleporter beam as they are snatched from the surface of Caldron. Setting: LionStar - Power Vault The Power Vault is exactly like the one on the Astro Megaship. RaptorCon places the Morphers on the brackets then leaves. He turns the wheel, shutting the door, then enters a 7 digit code. Computer: Door locked and sealed Setting: LionStar - Bridge Maya is already strapped in as RaptorCon walks onto the bridge and takes up his place at the helm. RaptorCon: I suppose you want to know who the Emerald Herald is? Maya: I wouldn't mind RaptorCon: As I said earlier, there were SEVEN Lion Force Rangers planned, but only six sets powers built. The Green Lion Force Ranger morphers were lost in a battle a 1000 years ago. It was tried to make another ranger out of the prototype morphers, but the power was to unstable. So we placed the prototype morphers on Caldron. Maya: But where does the Emerald Herald come into it? RaptorCon: Legend has it that the Green Lion Force Morphers fell into the hands of an Eltarian, who goes around the galaxy, determining who would be the best choice for the powers Setting: Terra Venture - Entrance The bridge to Terra Venture is guarded by armed GSA troopers. Occasionally, a Venture vehicle or transport vehicle will enter or leave. An explosion knocks the troopers away as a new monster appears. The monster is a vehicular monster, with wheels instead of legs. To cut it short, he his half monster, half car. HotWheels: Put the pedal to the metal... With a screeching of tires, HotWheels shoots off into the forest. Setting: Downtown Terra Venture The three remaining Lion Force Rangers and Kendrix are seated under a tree when Leo's Lion Morpher's begin beeping. FireStorm's voice filters out of the hidden speakers built into them. FireStorm: Rangers, haul ass to the forest, a monster has appeared. I'll join you later Leo: There he goes, giving orders yet again... Kai: Let's go and stop the monster. We can deal with FireStorm's bossiness later... Setting: Outside Maya's Village HotWheels: Let's burn rubber.... HotWheels races into the village, crashing through several huts and scattering the Miranites. The three Lion Force Rangers descend down from the sky and land in front of the vehicular monsters. HotWheels: More competitors, LET'S RACE HotWheels races off, crashing through more huts and running over several Miranites. Black Lion Force Ranger: Contact Command, organise medical aid for the injuries Yellow Lion Force Ranger: Understood.... Black Lion Force Ranger: The rest of you, let's go stop that loony tune car before he kills MORE people... The two Rangers take to the sky and fly after HotWheels while Yellow Lion Force Ranger uses her Morpher to call for help. Yellow Lion Force Ranger: This is the Yellow Lion Force Ranger to Terra Venture Command, I need medical assistance in the Miranite village, 20 miles south of the colony entrance... Setting: Terra Venture - Industrial Sector Strikning teleports in and looks around. Seeing no-one else is present, he smiles evilly. Strikning: Great, no one is around. Now I can get on with my treachery... He cackles madly and heads to a pile of rubble and discarded machine parts and he begins to sift through them. Setting: LionStar - Bridge The alarms blare out and the viewscreen activates, giving us a split screen of Strikning assembling something in the industrial sector and two of the Rangers chasing HotWheels. RaptorCon activates the communications system RaptorCon: Rangers, I'll go help the Miranites, you go after HotWheels He turns to face Maya. RaptorCon: Get going Maya, I'll make sure your people are ok Maya(Smiling): Thank you Setting: Angel Falls HotWheels skids to a halt at the edge of the falls and realises he is cornered. He turns to face the four Lion Force Rangers HotWheels: You wanna play, ok, WE'LL PLAY HotWheels' lower half glows as he grows legs. The hubcaps on his wheels become shoulder armour. He draws a tailpipe sword from his back, and stands ready to fight the Rangers. Black Lion Force Ranger: Ok you gear head, we're here to tow you to the breakers yard Pink Lion Force Ranger: You can't run, and we have you outnumbered, so why not surrender HotWheels: You don't get it, do you? What you're up against is bigger than you. Bigger than me and a hell of a lot bigger than this mudball of a backwards planet. Right now, you and me, we've got one thing in common. Pink Lion Force Ranger: What's that? HotWheels: You're both dead. You just don't know it yet. Suddenly he reaches for the back of one of his hands and before anyone can stop him he snaps it back sharply. A mechanism inside is activated with the snap, and with a pulsation it begins powering up. Yellow Lion Force Ranger: Bomb! Evacuate the area, right now! Move it, move it, move it! With the bomb powering up almost all the way, the Rangers jet away, high into the sky. And a few seconds later, a massive fireball consumes HotWheels. Black Lion Force Ranger: Well, that was different, - a monster that blows itself up? Blue Lion Force Ranger: And where's Drax? We haven't seen him in almost a day? As if on cue, Red Lion Force Ranger pulls himself up over the edge of the cliff, his armour is battered and parts of it are smoking. Red Lion Force Ranger: Oh GOD my head hurts Dameacon: A lot more than your head will hurt Red Ranger, oh YES Dameacon, Dragantis and 2 dozen Tank Drones teleport in. Dragantis: With you out of the way, the emerald Herald will belong to Dameacon, and so will the powers of the Green Lion Force Ranger... A massive explosion erupts between the two sides, sending them both crashing back down and knocking Red Lion Ranger back over the edge of the waterfall. He shakily flies back up and watches as a warp hole forms. From out of the warp hole steps a figure, clad in green light. Red Lion Ranger: No way, it's can't be... Green Lion Force Ranger: Oh but it is Red Ranger... The light fades away, revealing the Green Lion Force Ranger. He has the same armour as the others, but it has bigger shoulder armour and had a different belt buckle. The Green Lion Force Ranger also knee pads and green ovals on the back of his gloves. Green Lion Force Ranger: The day shall not be yours Dameacon He summons his Fire Saber and fires directly at Dameacon. TO BE CONTINUED...
