Power Rangers: Dragon Fury II

The fry bet was a bust; Helia beat Bruce spectacularly, and he ended up buying both of their fries. On the bright side, he hadn't eaten yet and was feeling a good deal better with some food in his belly. With his burst of energy, he set about helping with renewed vigor, carrying twice what the similar-sized Bulk did, and taking half again as many trips to and from the truck.

Soon all the manual labor was done, and Bruce was basically on standby, so he took a trip on over to Finn's bake sale stall.

"Hey, Finny, how much for a brownie?"

While he was inquiring after a sweet treat, he heard Helia's foolhardy suggestion.

"You guys want to go explore a bit when we're done here? I heard there are caves with prehistoric paintings here, and a bunch of them probably still undiscovered. Want your name in the history books anyone?"

"You sure we oughta be poking around undiscovered caves?"

Biography

Despite his father’s best efforts, Bruce was born in the same town his parents were raised in. A small town in Appalachia without much going for it. His mother, Charlene, worked herself to the bone to put his father, Henry through college, and Henry was away at school when Bruce was born. As far as Henry was concerned, all of her efforts paid off, as he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, and found himself a decent job.

Henry’s work ethic was every bit as stringent as Charlene’s, and it soon became apparent that his job didn’t leave much energy for a wife and child. Charlene had been under the impression, as she slaved away years before, that the end result would be a happy family with good prospects. She got the family with good prospects right, but she was hardly happy, as she found being a stay at home mom stifling. When Henry got a job offer in Los Angeles, working in the design department of a major auto manufacturer, she simply didn’t go with him. Bruce was nine at this time.

Bruce had to become self sufficient at a young age, as his father barely even seemed to notice that Charlene wasn’t still around to take care of their child. He tried taking an interest in his father’s work, to try to get attention from him, and spent a lot of time on the internet learning about how cars function. By twelve, he had an impressive knowledge of vehicle maintenance and repair, as well as a love of cars that would last the rest of his life. And it worked, after a fashion. Henry had as little time as ever for his family, but when he was home, he started talking shop, and was happy to find that his son could follow along most of the time.

At seventeen, Bruce was an ace student of Angel Grove High’s auto shop(and took every other class with “shop” in the name, too), though often a below average student in subjects he was less interested in. His refusal to apply himself, along with his faint Appalachian accent, has led to him being seen by most of his classmates as a dullard. Even the ones in his best classes assume his skill with making and repairing things to be a fluke, or merely a savant-like affinity.

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

I like a discord.

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

Yeah, I could be down for that. I had an idea for a more mundane "antagonist" plot. Basically, Bruce is messing around with alien technology, and someone who's not in on the secret gets their hands on it(he puts some in his car, which gets impounded, for example).

Now the rangers need to get it back before someone discovers it, but they probably can't use their powers, or they'd further risk exposure.

EDIT: or, of course, they're seen as heroes and don't want to ruin their reputation by being caught breaking into an impound lot.

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

Yes, I'm still here for this.

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

I was gonna say sorry for the delay, but then I realized we're like twelve posts in within five days, and that's pretty good honestly.

Great job everyone!

Conversation that should happen

Bruce: I don't really care about dinosaurs

Helia: Then what have you been keeping in your garage, zing!

Also, someone(right now I'm thinking Finn) should just inexplicably already know that Sa'Cha is magical.

Sa'Cha: I have a great secret that I have no choice but to reveal now *does magic*

Everyone else: holy shit, wtf?

Finn, eagerly: cool, what's the secret though?

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

Bruce let most people go by before expending the effort to unwedge and unfold himself from the little bus seat. There was a reason he had driven himself to and from school ever since he had been allowed. Getting his license was blessedly around the same time he had become simply too big to fit on a school bus.

Despite being one of the last off, Bruce was one of the first to reach to truck to begin unloading, blowing past the reluctant Bulk and Skull. He took more than his share in his arms and started to follow along to the tents where the real action would be.

"I tell ya, I won't mind if it's all lugging stuff back and forth. Can do that half asleep and wake up feeling fine."

All too soon, the lugging was over and while some other volunteers set up shop, the students were taken on a nice tour. Bruce looked on politely, but dinosaurs weren't really his thing, and when they reached the restaurant, it was the "Cafe" bit that interested him, not the "Dino Bite."

Oz issued a general challenge to eat the Cafe's largest offering, and Helia had already vocally accepted.

"Well, I ain't about to let myself get out eaten, so you're both on."

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

I'm definitely cool with Bruce being adapted for your fanfic, so have at it.

Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

I goofed, I went to fix the color tag and hit quote instead of edit.
