Chapter 5:
Different Drum

It has been a good two days since Gary Lee Scott beat the bench press record, and everyone now was enjoying all that the Angel Grove Juice Bar had to offer. “Three, and the next one we’re going to turn. And turn.” Misty said to a group that were exercising on blocks. Just like with Gary and Aya she enjoyed helping people with a workout plan when ever they visited the juice bar. Speaking of those two they were currently arm wrestling with one another.

“Come on. Come on.” Brock said as he watched as his two fellow Rangers in the middle of their strength match.

“Keep goin`.” The instructor with long orange hair said to her class. “And one more time, and turn.” She instructed while demonstrating turning to be on the other side of her exercise stand which the others did as well. Wattson, who decided to best to get some towels to his customers couldn’t help but hop to the music that was playing. “How’s everybody feeling?” Misty asked the others while having her arms in ‘T’ form and moving her lower arms to her shoulders and back out while stepping. “I can’t here you.” She said after several people cheered. “I still can’t here you.” She said which made the group cheer louder. “And turn.” She said and the others followed her lead.

‘I believe that was just an accident.’ Bill, who was one of Misty’s students as well, thought after being body checked by Wattson who stopped for a moment and really danced to the music. Being a good man, and one that didn’t want to interrupt class Bill Cranston went back to his spot.

“How’s everybody doin?” Misty questioned to her students, totally oblivious to what happened to her fellow Ranger. As they were answering Misty’s question Bill tried to return to his spot, but tripped on his equipment, landed on the cart the bar owner had been pushing, and started causing chaos by driving all over the place. His friends watched as the blue warrior flailed his arms wildly while the cart drove all over the place scaring everyone.

‘I hope Misty will forgive me.’ The genius thought after seeing through his waving arms that he had interrupted her class, and after several turns saw that he was heading for the locker room.

‘What was that?’ Misty thought. She had been so far into her teachings that she failed to realize that all but one had stopped. When she turned to look at the sight she saw her friend bulleting out of the locker room and coming right at her - with a big pile of others clothing on top of him. ‘Oh, that’s why they stopped.’ She thought before jumping out of the way.

“Ooooh.” Brock groaned after seeing the egghead’s ride stop at the small ledge that Misty was using to teach her students.

‘I wonder if Brock knows of personal space.’ Aya thought as she called a tie for Gary’s arm wrestle match to see the show, but at the moment she found it a bit unnerving that the black Ranger was practically leaning his chin on her shoulder. The gymnist walked back over to the somewhat clutsy teenager to see if he was okay, and to give him some advice.

“Bill, let me in`cha on a little secret: this is not the way to meet girls.” She said before walking off. The blue overalls wearer was left to groan over his plight. Out of their atmosphere Jessie was once again watching the planet through her telescope.

“Ugh, I hate all that kid music!” The faded red head shouted while viewing the earth. The scope that she was looking through allowed her to see and hear the location that she was viewing, and right now her sights was on the juice bar. “All right, I’m gonna back at those Power Brats with music.” She said after getting an idea from her own comment.

“Bill, what happened?” Aya questioned as she helped her fellow teammate who had been groaning and crawling over to the juice bar half ever since his crash. She knew of the sight of why he was groaning, but she wanted to know how it all started. “Are you okay?” She questioned after helping up to the bar floor, and was conserned that he was still groaning while standing straight up.

“Yo, main brain, what’s up?” Brock questioned to his groaning friend while he and the other two were trying not to laugh as they remember the whole cart problem. With the help of Aya Bill was able to reach the bar, so he would be out of the walkers way.

“Well, I’m intrigued by the rhythmic modulation yet daunted by the coordinating movement of the appendages.” Bill answered while still feeling a little dizzy because of his incident.

“Say what?” The dancer questioned to his big brained friend since he understood rhythmic, coordinating, and movement, but the other part not so much.

“He can’t dance.” The female Martial Artist simplified for her friend.

“Precisely.” He said to her before he and the others watched the class was back on track, but this time without the stepping block.

“Ready, okay.” Misty said with a clap and then added, “Spin.” She performed the motion as did the others. “And spin.” She told them while spinning in the other direction, and they did as well. “Spin.” She instructed and went back around, which the others did, but one seemed to be having a little trouble. “Spin.” Misty said and went back around not knowing that one was having problems until she heard an outburst.

“Hey.” One of the students shouted as she bumped into one of her fellow classmates. “You almost knocked me over.” The collider accused the other in anger while the others were following Misty’s lead. The young orange haired beauty saw the disagreement, and as the others were doing the routine she showed them; the teacher saw that the one who was being yelled at ran off.

“You guys, take a break for a sec, okay.” Hart said to the others while stopping the music, and grabbing her towel. She walked over to the one that walked out on the class and was sitting on the steps that led to or away from the bar. “What happened?” The pink clothed athlete questioned after sitting on the blocks, and did a few hand motions.

“You didn’t step sideways, and backed right into you.” Misty said as the girl did hand motions explaining what had happened to the teacher.

“I’m sorry. I forgot to sign the moves. It’s my fault.” Misty said back to the blonde haired female while making motions explaining herself to the other.

“You think it was your fault because your different.” Hart said as she saw the motions from her student.

“You’re a very good dancer.” Misty sighned back to her friend since she did not want anyone to feel like a freak. She then looked at the workout floor, and saw that her friend was at it again. “And even hearing people make mistakes.” She signed and then pointed over to what she meant. The two looked at the book smart boy was trying the moves out.

“Left, right, spin.” Bill said while doing the motions. “Maybe it’s the other way, no.” He added as he was thinking if he had goofed. The two girls looked at one another and shared a quiet laugh at his expense. Back at the evil base the henchmen did not truly understand their mistress’ plan.

“Using music to trick the Power Rangers?” Munuatt questioned aloud to her, and then his more muscular friend put his two cents in.

“It sounds a bit risky.” She ignored their comments and decided to see the craftsman of the team.

“Nanba. Oh, Nanba.” She said, but when she did not get an answer right away she walked into the back.

“Yes. Oh, nasty one, I’m working on a marvelous monster that eats cars and smells like a fish.” The orange haired elder said while putting the final details.
“Never mind that!” She bellowed while stomping into the shop. “Make me a musical monster that will mesmerize those pathetic Power Rangers and bring them to their knees.” She said to him and then simplified it for him, “Like the Pied Piper, only meaner.” The craftsman knew what she meant, but he has had experience with those sorts before.

“Oh, my queen, that plan is absolute brilliance!” Nanba said to her with enthusiasm: believing that buttering her up will ease her fury of what he was about to tell her. “However musical monsters aren’t very reliable.” He informed her and added, “Wouldn’t you rather have a nice fire breathing hedgehog instead?” He felt terrible that his earlier work was simply waiting on the shelves; he wanted them to show her that they could do anything his latest creations could do.

“NOOOOOOOO!” She shouted back to her maker in anger.

“Oh, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.” Nanba said in fear as he saw that she was truly angry for his comment.

“Either get my monster or I’ll turn you into a Sipian Slug.” Jessie shouted out to him before storming off. Back at the juice bar Misty was starting her class up one more time.

“Okay, everyone, let’s do one more song and then we’ll call it a day.” Hart signed and said to the others. The yeller saw this and looked at the person she bumped into, who was beside her, and knew the cause of what happened before.

“I’m sorry.” The yeller said calmly after tapping the student’s shoulder to get her attention. The other signed to her that the yeller could gather meant - it’s okay.

“Okay. Is everybody ready?” Misty said to her students after seeing the two make up from the earlier incident. “And left. And right. And left.” Hart said to the others, doing the steps slowly not knowing that the distractions were in the building.

‘Okay, bad idea.’ Jack thought after punching his friend’s arm, who had stepped on his foot, but got a ticked look on Morey’s face. The two left the doorway and took a look around, and after passing the bar the bulky bully spotted something to mock, and it involved one of their main female targets.

‘What do those two want now?’ Gary thought as they passed him and mocked Misty’s class.

“Look at all the rappin ballerinas.” Morey mocked as he got a good look at the group as a whole. He heard a single laugh from his friend, but he ignored it.

“Spin.” Misty said easily ignoring the two in question. Jack got a good look at what was going on and decided to inform his old pal about what they were doing.

“Not even ballerinas. Stuff they’re doing is too easy.” Jackson said since he knew of that style of dance when his mom signed him up for it when he was six. Thinking that he was in the clear of the punch from earlier he leaned on his friend’s right shoulder, but he got a ticked look, so he stood straight up.

“You think so, huh?” Brock questioned from behind the two of them. This was one thing that the five loved to do when they were not in uniform - humiliate the bullies. “I’d like to see you try.” He continued when the two of them turned to face the dancer.

‘All right, he’s on.’ Morey thought and took a few steps away from the ledge, turned to face the gym, and copied their footwork.

“One. Two. Three.” Morey said following the first two steps, but for his third he kicked the seat Gary was sitting on from under him; thankfully the male Martial Artist didn’t fall. Brock saw the anger in his friend’s eyes and as soon as Lee Scott went to show him that that stunt was a bad idea Brock Taylor got in between them.

“You can get those steps, but can you get with these.” Brock challenged when he saw that his leader had calmed down. That said he began to show the bully a routine of his own, and after that small feat was done there was some cheering.

‘Okay, he’s good.’ Gary thought as he leaned on the bar with Aya, who went over to them when she saw that her leader was about to hurt someone, in front of him. The cheering crowd always loved to see the dancer move, and couldn’t wait to see if the challenger could match him.

“No problem.” Morey said to his friend after he saw that Jackson seemed nervous for him. The moves at best were comical, but not at all like Brock’s handy work. After his performance the crowd only laughed at his effort.

“Here we go. Hold on.” The pro said and then spun around five times, did the splits, and pulled himself up. The crowd cheered even louder this time than the last.

“Yo, Brock.” Aya said while clapping her hands for her friends show. She and Gary high fived him on his way back to the bar, and just like last time the pro watched the competition.

“Good work.” Gary added to his friend.
“Piece a cake.” Morey said trying not to show that he was a little bit nervous of that display. Morey was able to spin one and a half times, tried to do the splits, but only ended up splitting his pants. The whole roared with laughter after seeing the bully’s boxers a second time, or at the very least hearing his seam burst again.

‘Oh, crap.’ Jackson thought after quickly stopping his laughing fit when he realized that the more experienced bully was glaring at him.

“Come here.” Morey commanded and Jack followed. Once he helped his friend get back to his feet and onto the sidelines Brock started his third routine.

‘This ought to do the trick.’ The dancer thought after realizing that Gary had this same problem during his class. The day he and four others became Power Rangers. “Check this out.” He said to the competition while moving away from the bar. He then walked back, put his hands on the top, and said, “Let’s have some fun.” Before doing a perfect handstand on the bar top.

‘This is gonna get messy.’ Jackson thought after Brock got off the table and the crowd cheered for his feat.

“Ok.” Morey said while getting some distance, and after a growl of effort he charged the bar. Unfortunletley, for him, he slid right over it and crashed into the various supplies behind it, and just like last time everyone was laughing at the outcome.

‘I will not laugh. I will not laugh. I will not laugh.’ The skinny teen thought as he saw his friend fall down even though the urge was hard to ignore. They saw the bully’s hands and then the rest of them. Brock saw that Morey had something in his lips, and decided to poke fun about that.

“You can have it. I wasn’t hungry anyways.” He then heard the crowd laughed over what the dancer said when they saw that Morey had old fly tape on his lips.

“Okay, that was a great class.” Misty said, returning to her students after the show which she was grateful that she was able to finish it before the one on one match. After some clapping from her students the tricera and ptera holders headed to the others.

“We better bail, or we’ll miss the movie.” Brock said after he was finished laughing over what he pulled.

“Yeah, you better bail fast cause nobody tricks me.” Morey said with settled anger to the victor.

“Really? Looks like we already did.” Brock said after hearing the threat. The five of them left and the two bullies ate something that Morey picked up after his fall.
‘This stuff might be bad, but at least it’s free.’ Jack thought as he popped a white wad into his mouth.

“Well, do you have my monster yet! The wait is putting a strain on my natural beauty!” Jessie Repulsa said to her henchman once she returned to his workshop. The sculpter on the other hand was all the way done, but he decided to wait before bringing it to life.

“Yes. I call him Gnarly Gnome. He is a wonderfully ugly creature who plays a hypnotic accordian. The plan is to hypnotize a few kids and hold them, when the Power Rangers show up to the rescue, he’ll use the music to put them in your power.” Nanba said and he prayed that she was not too angry with him that he had already come up with a plan.

“Okay, let’s get `em.” Jessie said, liking the plan. The craftsman then put his creation on a tray, placed tray on machine, and brought the latest beast to life. “This time it had better work, Nanba.” She shouted to her grunt, and as soon as the beast landed on their concrete floor Jessie sent it onto earth - right at the doors of the juice bar.

“Whoa, what a trip, ha. Now I got to get this thing to work right.” The gnome said after landing by the chosen building and took out his hypno-weapon. “I’ll just warm it up a bit.” He said with a laugh and proceeded to work with it, and inside a couple of students were discussing their next stop.

“Do you want to go down to the mall? I heard they’re having a really big sale.” The brown haired one that had a disagreement with the blonde questioned. The other knew a few things about reading lips so she signed that she was all for it. “Hey, you guys, come on. See you later, Wattson.” The inviter said before getting off the bar stool.

“See you later kids. Have a good time.” The owner said and gave high fives to the three others that were joining the other two. The five female teens left the local gym/bar and were about to head to the mall, but something went wrong.

“Mind if we stop home first? I gotta tell my mom.” The girl that made the offer said, but before her friends could answer her something over came them since as soon as they heard laughter and the noise of accordian they lost sense of themselves.

‘I can’t believe that I’m going to the mall with new friends.’ The unique one thought until she saw that her latest four have stopped dead in their tracks. ‘What’s wrong with them?’ She thought with worry.

“Come with me, my pretties. Jessie wants to play.” The evil armored red head said to the girls not knowing that one was not swinging to his song.

‘What’s up with them?’ The unaffected one thought while doing hand signs to get their attention. When her efforts failed the young woman played the role of scout as she fell to the back of the pack, and followed them. The latest monster led them out to one of the mountain areas near the city.

“Come on, you can’t resist, and neither will the Power Rangers.” The flightless, freaky looking fairy said to the captive audience. Before the six was a small cave entrance with three putties guarding it. “Once the Power Rangers hear my magic tune, they will totally be in my power. So, come my beauties. Come and dance, and seal the Power Rangers fate.” He said when they neared the hidey-hole.

‘The Power Rangers fight these gray guys, so this guy is against the Rangers.’ The fifth one thought, as she was grateful that her parents put the closed captioned on the television for her.

“Follow me. Follow me. Rita’s waiting.” He said to the four, and as soon as the five passed the doorway to the cave a net blocked the immune female from going any further. “Follow me.” He said again to the other four.

‘Okay, now I know this means trouble.’ The outside girl thought as she tried to follow the sight of her friends, but when she could no longer see them she ran all the way back to the juice bar for help. ‘Him. That’s one of Misty’s friends.’ She thought and ran over to the far side of the cresent shaped bar.

“Seems like she wants something.” Gary said after seeing a waving hand in front of him, so he rested a free weight on his leg, and watched the hand signs. “Do you understand sign language, Wattson?” Gary questioned, hoping that the older man would know of what she was showing to them.

“I don’t.” He answered his loyal customer bluntly. The two of them watch her continue to explain what had just happed to her friends.

“What? What?” The male athlete questioned with a desperate tone since he did not like not helping when someone needed help. The young woman saw that they were not returning her hails so she used a different tactic. She saw Wattson’s bill pad, and a pen, so she used that.

“’Help, my friends are in danger.’” Gary said, repeating what the teen had just written. “Come on, we’re going to get your friends. We’re going to help you, alright?” The tyrano holder said while grabbing his jacket from the back of his chair. He lightly took the girl’s arm, and led her to the door, so she can show him what she meant. Back at the cave there was a preselebrated party in progress.

“Dance everyone! Let’s celebrate our coming victory! Dance for me my beauties for tomorrow you shall dance for our empress Jessie after I finish off the Power Rangers.” Gnarly Gnome shouted in excitement to the patrollers around his preset table, and to the four that were dancing in the corner. “Food! I grow hungry!” The creature bellowed with a boastful laugh.

“Hmm! Get’s a little bossy, doesn’t he?” Ba-Choke questioned who was acting as the cook for the new guy complete with hat and apron. “I sure hope this plan works.” He added as he placed some form of casserole into the old fashioned oven.

“Forget the plan, this guy throws a great party.” Munuatt said to his friend as he stoked the fire for the oven. The gnome kept playing on the accordian so the captives would still be under his control.

“Dance with the girls putties, I want to see a show.” He ordered to the foot soldiers of Jessie. “You’re dancing with putties now, but soon you will be dancing with Power Rangers.” He told the entranced teens when the grunts of the grunts made it over to the corner. As that was happening he started to smell a delicious scent in the cave forcing him to ask, “Uh, where’s the food?” The chef who was doing all of that work did not like to be rushed.

“It’s cooking so just back off buck-o.” The muscular grunt said to the Gnarley one with a seving ban and stirring stick in hand. The new monster laughed about his comment, but didn’t say anything. “I just have to add my secret ingredient and…presto!” The chief said after walking to a stovetop while putting large multi colored pieces of rock candy.

“Gee, I’m so hungry I could eat a bug.” The glutton said and then recalled one of his objects in his bag making him add, “Hey not a bad idea.” The pointy eared one dove into his bag and after a little while he came across a small red box. “I was saving this for a special occation, but too bad.” He said after taking off the lid which showed a black earthworm, and then he ate without a second thought.

“Ah, that hit the spot, and now it’s time for a little-little snooze.” The armored one said before lounging on the chair he was sitting on. The other two: Ba-Choke and Munuatt saw this and did the same, but instead of chairs they used rocks.

“They should be ready.” Jessie shouted before looking through her scope, and when she did she saw half of her total plan. “Huh?” She said after seeing the cave entrance and than used the manual zoom in function of her scope causing her to add, “There are the hostages, but where’s everybody else - sleeping on the job, I suppose.” Without a visual on her lackies she got angry. “I just hate those pathetic pinheads.” She shouted in anger.

‘This is a nice nap.’ Ba-Choke thought as he slept, until…

“GET UP! Who told you, you could rest! The Power Rangers could be there any minute, and you dolts aren’t ready. I ought to turn you all into Octavian Slime Toads. Get to work - NOW!!!” Jessie shouted to the grunts who woke up from their nap in a panic. The gnome was so nervous that he couldn’t put his boots on, which have been knocked off his sleep during his nap, so he disappeard while still sitting there.

“Hey wait a second. You’re not getting out that easy.” The muscular grunt said with his lower left fist going into his lower right palm after he saw that the table shook a bit.

“Yeah. Yeah. Keep your wings on.” The new guy said after going back to his seat.

“Hurry.” Ba-Choke said after glancing at the mouth of the cave.

“Don’t worry I’ve got it all under control.” The latest creature said while making visible; showing them that he was figiting with his boots. “There. I smell Power Rangers coming. Could someone tie my shoes?” He said and questioned to the two.

“They’re all yours gnome we’re outta here.” The taller one said before he and the other ran for it. The Gnraly one then looked and saw a few foot soldiers coming over to him.

“Could you guys give me a hand?” He questioned/ordered, and the did, but as that was going on the fiver were following the scout from earlier to the cave.

“They’re in there?” Gary questioned after the young woman stopped him and his friends. The six saw the cave before them, and knew that something wicked was happening within.

“Okay.” Misty said while grabbing the girl’s arm to get her friend’s attention and the added through sign, “Okay, I want you to hide here, and wait for me okay. Go behind those bushes, hurry.” When Gary saw that the sixth was safe he turned his attention to saving the other girls.

“Alright guys, it’s Morphin Time.” The red haired leader said to the others. As they were going to the cave they raised their morphers up and started.

“Mastodon!” Brock said first.

“Pretadactyle!” Misty said after him.

“Triceratops!” Bill said after both of them.
“Saber-tooth Tiger!” Aya said after all three.

“Tyrannosaurus!” Gary announced while bringing up the rear.

“Power Rangers!” They all said with their weapons drawn. They watched as the new door gave way and Gnarley Gnome attacked with what seemed to be a rake. The attack from said garden tool gave off multi-blasts which the other dodge by jumping up, or rolling to the left and right. Aya and Misty once they were done rolling leapt up and threw one dagger and one arrow which each scored clean hits.

“Let’s follow their lead.” Brock said one he and Bill stopped rolling. With a nod as the answer the two also leapt up and with one axe and one two as one lance which also scored a clean hit.

“Alright ugly, release the girls.” Gary shouted out while showing his sword before leaping up and giving the enemy a good slash. Even though that the attacks were all around his chest region the beast was still standing, so they attacked again. Bill and Brock, Gary, and ending with Aya and Misty. After the second round of attacks they saw that he was still getting on his feet. “Lock `em up.” Gary said to the others after they touched their weapons together.

“Cosmic Canon!” Brock shouted out making a mental note, ‘Sure it sounds good, but it just doesn’t fit for me.’ He threw his axe into the air, and the waited it for the others.

“Battle Bow!” Misty shouted and just like the first also decided to go with a different name.

“Dino Daggers!” The yellow themed feline warrior shouted and thought, ‘Good, but not great of a name for my weapon.’

“Mighty Lance!” Bill shouted after separating them and threw them up with the others.

“Power Sword!” Gary shouted and leapt up to their gun, placed his sword on top, and then took it down with him. “Power Blaster!” Gary said before he felt gravity kick in.

“Ready?” The other four shouted while each putting their hand on the gun - tricera, ptera, tyrano, tiger, and mastodon.

“Uh-Oh.” The hypnotist said while staring at the wrong end of the blaster. The fired the shot which caused him to be destroyed, or so they thought.

“Think you beat him! We’ll see about that!” Repulsa shouted out and with a grunt of effort sent her staff to earth to aid her monster. When the device was in the earth it’s mystic properties broght their foe to giant height.

“I call on the power of the mighty Dino-Zords!” Gary announced which signaled their robots to be brought out of hiding. The team saw them coming at their giant of a threat. “Let’s do it!” Gary said to the others when the five dinosaurs were close enough.

“Right.” Yellow and pink said to him, and leapt.

“Morphin!” Black and blue added and also leapt skyward.

“Ranger’s log on.” Gary said after sitting down in his cockpit.

“Brock here, all systems go.” The black ranger said once inside his machine.

“This is Bill, I’m nominal.” The brainiac said after sitting down.

“Aya here, ready to rock.” The fourth said once inside.

“I just love this part.” Misty said after sitting down, and what she said was true since battling with her machine was one of her favorite things right now.

“Let’s show him some Megazord power.” Gary said to the others and pressed on the two main controllers, but then remembered the encounter with King Sphinx. “Power up your crystals, we’re going to tank mode.” He said to them after taking his coin out of his morphed and created the red crystal.

“Power up.” The other four said after doing as he did, and had their crystals ready to go.

“Rangers’ synch up.” Their leader said before putting his crystal into it’s slot.

“Two, one, mark.” The others said and did as he did.

“All right, I feel a rescue coming on.” Gary said and pushed the red crystal forward. With that done the five big machines were slowly brought together.

‘So, that’s the tank?” Gnarly Gnome thought after he saw it, but before another thought could come to him five sets of beams hit him hard which he countered with his rake blasts.

“Switching to battle mode - now.” The head hero said to the others after a group ‘whoa’ due to the lawn ornament’s attack.
“Megazord sequence has been initiated.” The onboard computer said aloud, and just like always the tank rose to giant level, got a new head and chest. “Megazord activated.” The computer said when it was done.

‘That I can hit.’ The enemy thought before charging at it. The first thing that occurred was that it tried to attack with the rake, but the Megazord took a firm grip of the enemy tool, and forced the owner to let go by flinging him off. When the first tool was gone he countered with the same device that worked the first time. “Listen to my music. Fall into my power.” The maniacal man said to the five in the machine.

‘He’s using a different trick. One that the girls didn’t have to deal with.’ Bill thought as he saw through the eyes of their machine and could have sworn that he saw that they were in the city.

‘They’re so confused that not even the Megazord can save them.’ He thought while laughing and running toward them. He could only guess that he must look like one of their usual sky scrappers. The evil elf creature was able to score a clean hit on the human piloted robot’s chest.

‘Not this time.’ Brock thought while seeing a boulder coming at them, but every once in a while he saw they’re target as the rock, so with what little focus he had at the moment was able to have the Megazord block the punch with it’s left arm. Followed by a quick punch with the right fist. The attack caused him to release his second weapon, and that set the others free completely.

“Oh, man.” The five of them said when they felt the senses come back to them.

“Time for the Power Sword!” Gary shouted to the heavens which it came directly into the right hand.

‘I won’t be defeated.’ The gnome thought in anger after seeing the sword. The monster attacked with a beam blast through his horns on his helmet, but the attack was neutralized by the Power Sword.

“Strike three! Your out!” The five of them shouted while motioning for the Megazord to strike with the sword. Once the monster was blown apart a second time there was cheering in the cockpit for what they had done.

“All right Power Rangers, let’s go down there and get the girls out of the cave and take them home.” Their leader said to the others. After leaping out of the Megazord, which disassembled and hid, and de-morphing, the five headed to the cave with the sixth in toe.

“You should have seen the Power Rangers, Misty, they were great.” One of the students said even though the only thing she saw was the Megazord standing tall.

“So, like, what happened?” Another student questioned, wondering how exactly they were in a cave all this time.

“Mellisa ran for help when the mega, mondo, monster hypnotized you, and trapped you in a cave.” The gymnist said to the others over what had happened and let the others imaginations fill in on the missing pieces.

“So, like, without her and the Power Rangers…” Brock started to say to them allowing them to see where he was going with this.

“Then we would have been trapped forever.” One of them exclaimed, catching onto what the dancer was trying to get at in a hurry.

“Mm-hmm.” Misty said, agreeing with what she saw was right.

“Hey, we owe you big time.” The former yeller said and gave the handi-capable one a big hug. The others around the two liked what they saw, and one of them knew how to celebrate.

“Oh, yeah. All right.” Brock started to say when the others were liking Melissa, and then added, “Hey, let’s go get some ice cream, huh?” The whole group then headed back into town, and right into Wattson’s shop.

“Why can’t I depend on you, you dweeb?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!” Jessie shouted at Ba-Choke when he and the other teleported back home. She then turned to the vertically challenged member and decided to shout at him too. “And you too, you over grown blueberry!!” She then looked at the three that were on the balcony with her and shouted one final thing. “WHY DO I KEEP THESE FOOLS?! THEY DRIVE ME TOTALLY NUTS!!!” For the rest of the day she didn’t care about the Rangers who had just gotten to the Juice Bar.

Hey, kids, soda’s on the house.” Wattson said to the peaceful group of teens with a serving tray filled with tall glasses of soda which he set down at the usual table.

“Wattson’s the man.” Gary shouted and the deliverer of drinks heard other praise, which he appreciated, but he had others to serve. “And to our guest of honor.” Gary said after they each had their soda, that they ordered the minute they came into the door, while standing up.

“To Mellissa.” Aya added to the earlier comment.

“Alright Mellissa.” Brock added to the earlier add-on. The whole lot of them saw that the girl in question signed them for the praise, and Gary tried the same, but got a laugh out of Misty and Mellissa.

“What? What?” He questioned to the two, wondering what he had done to make them laugh like that.

“You just told her your dog smells.” Misty informed which gave all of the others a reason to laugh.

“Good work, buddy.” Brock said to him while laughing at the comment.

“I just have to work on it.” Gary said to the others while trying to slide off their laughter, but he was still embarrassed of what he said. The guest of honor then looked up at the poliete man in blue overalls, and spoke to him.

“What did she say?” Bill questioned after sipping at his soda.

“She’s wondering if you’d like to dance.” Misty answered his question while also asking her friend’s question for her.

Oh, no. No thank you.” The genius said while shaking his head in the ‘no’ position. She did not take that as an answer as she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the gym half while the others were goading him on. The two made it to the other dancers and the duo began dancing.

“You know Brock. When you do it right sign language isn’t that hard to learn.” Gary informed his friend both saving himself from earlier and saying a basic fact.

“Aw, man, it’s a whole new world of rappin`. Check this out - there’s a lot we can learn from Mellissa.” The dancer, who for a moment lost himself to the music on the gym, said and then pointed over to the duo who was doing a great job.

“Ya know I used to think Mellissa was pretty happy at school, then she saved her friends and now….” Misty said to them, but stopped at they watched and saw Bill doing brake dance moves perfectly, and ended with him in a lying pose. “She’s a miracle worker.” She finished her comment after seeing that dancing display.

‘Looks like I may have some competition.’ Brock thought after seeing his big brained friend’s moves.
