[IC] Power Rangers: Dragon Fury II

[vancexentan]

After a brief fist fight with the monster left Heath a bit out of breath, and a bit bruised he couldn't help but feel like this was all some sort of elaborate prank, or if things were really this weird? There was no way this was a dream too much pain made that clear, and on top of that the weird guy talking to them like they had been brought here and this wasn't just some weird ass exploration day out to explore some of Angel Grove was just icing on the cake. Even if he had been waiting for them why rough them up? Talking solves some shit you know. For Heath the moment he gave up rationalizing anything came when the nanobots helped him out, and even eased some of his notable pains from previous football related incidents. Fucking A man what the hell was even going on? "Look I'll follow you since anybody looking to actually hurt us wouldn't have healed us up so...i'll trust you. For now. I hope the explanation was worth the little scuffle though." Heath said as he made his way towards the ship initially ignoring the comment by Sa'cha. "Look I'm good and I appreciate the concern. but I don't want to risk keeping the guy with freaking alien body guards waiting. Come on we gotta go." Heath said as he made his way forward towards the ship.

On later reflection, Bruce thought it would be nice if he had done something cool, or at least cursed at the monster or something. Instead, his first reaction was a kind of wordless scream of shock and fear, as Helia jumped in front of him.

His screaming evolved into a lot of "Got dang," and "Whoa man!" as he picked up rocks from the ground, and began to hurl them over-hand at the guard creatures. He made a point to aim over Helia's shoulder, but he was a good deal taller than her and this wasn't difficult.

After the first two rocks, Bruce realized that he was hiding from alien monsters behind his friend, and that there were two possible outcomes. One: they die, and the aliens kill Helia first to get to him. Two: they live, and he has to relive his cowardice when they discuss the event later. Both situations were just the pits, so Bruce, with a renewal of his wordless scream, threw one last rock at one of the aliens, and bolted to the side, scooping up a particularly large stone on his way.

As he ran, he saw that the creature was following him, as he had hoped/feared, and with a mighty(sort of) yell, he charged it, and brought the stone down on it. He aimed for the head, but it managed to dodge around and take the blow on the shoulder. It was then that the chime sounded, and the creature, completely ignoring its wound and assailant, turned and left.

Bruce very nearly threw the last rock at the being who later identified itself as Zordon, but by then he was confused enough to wait for it(him, he thought) to finish speaking.

When it had gone, Bruce finally dropped the rock.

"'M alive," he mumbled in response to Sa'Cha. "Dunno when Heath got here, but I reckon he's got a point. And in any case it ain't like we're leaving the cave any direction but this one, right?"

“OMG, Heath, you made it!” Finn clapped his hands excitedly at the sight of one of his friends on the football team.

And then some creepy alien things marched off the ship, and started lunging towards the group, and soon a fight broke out. Finn looked to the left, and looked to the right. He was only a novice fighter, but he was a cheerleader!

So, he let out a high pitched scream, ran towards one of the aliens, did a handspring, and managed to kick one of the aliens in the face. “Yay! I did it! Finn clapped his hands excitedly.

But while Finn was celebrating, and alien unfurled it’s claws, and slashed Finn on his side causing a bloody gash on Finn’s side. ”Ow! That hurt!” He managed to land a punch on that alien’s face, but he was now clutching his side and wincing painfully.

Then, the aliens suddenly stopped their assault, and what appeared to be a bald headed man stepped off the ship. He explained that this was all a test, and then sent out a bunch of nanites to fix whatever wounds they sustained during the fight, including Finn’s own wound. “Neat! Finn exclaimed. Although Finn really wanted to know what they were being tested for.

He then invited the group on to the ship where he would explain everything. This was becoming more and more like the cartoons Finn watched by the second, and Finn was actually excited about it.

“Yeah, I’m fine now. But that alien scratchy thing hurt at the time… Anyway, OMG guys! We’re gonna become superheroes. Let’s gooooooooooooooo!” Finn happily started skipping up the stairs leading onto the ship as if this was a perfectly normal thing to happen.

ACCEPT THE POWER, ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY!

Sa’Cha listened as everyone responded to how they were feeling. It was safe to say that today couldn’t get any more crazy. They’d just found a ship, been attacked by aliens, and now they were being invited into the ship by some being who healed them of their wounds using some sort of advanced technology. It wasn’t strange to Sa’Cha as he hailed from a world of magic and beyond, but he was sure the others were on high alert after what had just happened and knew that he was in hot water once all of this was over. He sighed as they all seemed to move in unison towards the ship. He kept thinking about Tommy and what he would have done in this situation. He probably would have tried to help them all and protect them, but he was surprised how everyone held their own against the threat.

“I need to contact my grandma,” Sa’Cha thought out loud as he was the last to enter the ship.

There wasn’t time. As soon as they entered, the stairs began to pull into the ship and the door soon closed as they moved further into the bowels of the ship. Zordon led them to a large open area with six cylindrical vessels that housed what looked to be a rather interesting power suit. Each had a beautiful insignia on it representing the dragon that corresponded with the color. Zordon smiled as he turned to face them.

“This is the command center. What if I told you that the world as you see it is not the truth? What if I told you that beyond the veil is a completely different world, a world full of danger, and what if I told you that you are the next in line to protect the world from threats both near and far. Through the years there have been different protectors, sworn to uphold justice and do what is necessary for the good of the universe, and I do believe it has finally time to choose again.”

Zordon looked at each of them and nodded his head.

“I am sure each of you has many questions, so please, one at a time. Whoever would like to go first, please step forward.”

Bruce climbed the steps and almost fell behind Sa'Cha as he watched the ramp rise and the hatch close. He thought vaguely that he should be concerned about that, but was too busy wondering what sort of mechanism did the work, as he couldn't see any pistons or motors(at least not the sort he recognized).

“I need to contact my grandma,” Sa’Cha didn't seem to be speaking to anyone in particular.

"To get her permission to climb up in a alien ship?" Bruce asked, incredulous.

Zordon basically told them that they were going to be super heroes, and kindly gave an opportunity to ask him questions. Presumably about their schedule, pay and benefits for the job he was offering.

"How does your ship work?"

"Well for one is this some kind of chosen destiny shit right here? Because I literally got here at the last second before all this was about to go down? Also what's with the aliens? I can take the whole alien spaceship underground stuff, and even our apparent casting as the next world saviors but I'd like to at least know why, and how things got to this point. I'm not signing up to fight for a side I don't know about." Heath said rather calmly despite all that had happened in quick succession it didn't feel right to Heath that this was suddenly being thrown into their court. "Well if you are the good guys I imagine that you'll give us a proper choice in the matter. No one likes having the fate of the world just heaved into their arms after all." Heath said he knew he could make some good as a power ranger but he also knew the danger. He wanted to make sure this at least made some lick of sense despite Finn's excitement.
