Go for the Green
Date of Scene: 25 May 2015
Location: Corinth
Synopsis: In Corinth, some Power Rangers encounters Tenaya 7
Thanks to: Dillon, for running Tenaya 7 and General
Cast of Characters: Ziggy Grover, 549, 776, 786


Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Hey, pull out whatever you want from the fridge, if it's something you recognize. If it's some sort of mixed gunk, though, don't touch it, it might be detonating putty," Ziggy proclaims, motioning to the kitchen in the Garage.

Although Dr. K was rather touchy about having a -getting to know you- party, that Ziggy had talked her into dragging some of the known Rangers into the multiverse, as he put it, was a borderline miracle. He'd even enlisted help in cooking and in gathering up groceries. For the moment, at least, Dr. K and most of the other rangers were in the lab, looking up things.

"And make sure the training programs are off, will you, Doc?" Ziggy calls out into the lab.

Dr. K did not even dignify that with a response.

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
"Your base is so cool, Ziggy." Kimberly marvels excitedly, having been intrigued during their little walk through the Ranger Operators' headquarters. "And I can't believe you all live in a big dome, that's amazing. I mean.. not amazing why you do, but.. You know what I mean." She smiles and rubs the back of her neck, looking a bit apologetic for bringing that fact up. It kinda sucks living in a post-apocalyptic world, in a sense.

"So where's the rest of your team? I figured they'd be around to say hello." She's a bit disheartened at that fact, really wanting to get to know the other Operators.

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy Oliver is hanging somewhat close to Kimberly as they check out the place. Although, he's looking for an area to maybe be able to do his karate. He throws his hands into his pockets and leans on the nearest thing that he's pretty sure isn't going to explode. Or cause the building to fall down. "Yeah. Sorry about what happened... out there." Tommy seems genuinely upset about things. He doesn't like it when things aren't handled the way they should be. Or when the good guys don't win. "If we had known..." Tommy wishes there was time travel. So he could go back and help save this world. Maybe this meet and greet would've been less depressing in Angel Grove.

Dillon (549) has posed:
"Yeah, that would be good," Dillon says from the actual garage part of the garage. "No refrigerator guns today please."

He's got his head stuck under the hood of his car. He's avoiding the lab area because he had to use his Invulnerable Shield yesterday and he got knocked on his backside because he didn't expect that the giant zord version of Splat Bot would actually KICK him.

Meanwhile. At a storm drain not too far from the Wall, a young woman in a very slinky purple-black bodysuit (NOT SPANDEX) emerges from behind a grate, and speaks into a communication device build into her face mask.

"Lord Venjix. My remote is in their lab. I'm watching the visitors now."

"IS IT TRUE?"

"Yes, My Lord. They appear to be operatives like the Rangers. Their morphers are not fastened to their bodies, though."

"BRING ME THOSE MORPHERS."

In the lab, from the top of a cabinet, a disembodied hand peers through its front fingertip at the visitors. Magnetic lenses focus in tight on the belt-clipped morphers.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Oh, Alpha and some of your other teammates arrived earlier, they're in the lab right now," Ziggy comments, motioning towards the area. "We're just not allowed to bring food into -there-. Something about not wanting to contaminate Dr. K's work space. Which is weird, considering that I'd swear she -eats- in there."

Motioning out there, Ziggy shrugs. "Hey, we're beating them back, little by little. Having the Union around means we can take the fight to them. We just have to hope they don't get in here."

Falling in step next to Kimberly, Ziggy motions towards the fruit spread. "I got those myself. Pulled a few strings here, there, so we got fresh fruit. And I promise, these are better than anything you've had." Putting fingers to his lips, Ziggy makes a smacking sound not unlike an Italian chef crooning over pasta. "And definitely better than detonating putty. Or we can put together a smoothie if that's the way you like it."

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
Kimberly Hart nods to Tommy in agreement. She wouldn't have hesitated in the slightest if she'd known this world was in danger way back when. But that's what happens when you live in two different worlds. Then Ziggy introduces them to some snacks that have been laid out, Kim's brows raising in surprise. "Oh! Thanks, Ziggy. You didn't have to do that, really." She smiles appreciatively and, not wanting to be rude, plucks a cube of melon from the platter and pops it in her mouth. "Just like this is great, thank you."

Apparently she didn't get a full look of the room because Dillon speaking up surprises her a bit. Craning her head a little towards the other ranger, Kim smirks and offers a raise of her hand in greeting if he ever looks their way. "Oh, hey there. Heh, I was afraid I wouldn't get to meet anyone else right away. Name's Kimberly, good to meet you."

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy offers a smile in the direction of Dillon and a nod of the head. "Tommy." That's the greeting and introduction that comes from the ponytail in green. He takes a gander at Dillon's car, from a distance, and moves over towards the snacks. There's just a small appreciative nod given at the car and he's back to paying attention to the food. "Well, anytime you need us, just give us a shout. We'll be here. Ready to fight alongside you guys. We might not be able to stop what happened here, but we can make sure it doesn't happen again. Or to anyone else."

Tommy might be trying to eat a grape but he keeps getting his eyes sent off in the direction of that car.

Dillon (549) has posed:
The wandering hand points at a small instrument panel, and fires a small dart into it, PFFT!

In the lab, an emergency lockdown klaxon sounds, and the doors become un-open-able, as the viral load attempts to take over the base... again. This trick never works -- but it doesn't have to.

"OW!" Dillon rubs his head as he pulls back out from his car, and he yells, "TURN IT," the klaxon dies, "OFF! Zig, what's going on?"

He seems a bit surprised to see the others here. Then again he did get kicked halfway across the dome yesterday. He's still healing up. Repairing. Whatever.

Mouthing "bring me those morphers" with a sullen-teenager expression, Tenaya, several blocks away, begins moving closer to the garage, now that she's locked the ever-annoying Doctor K and some of her silly rangers in the lab. Of course, they'll get out soon enough, so she needs to get there. Dillon will be easy enough to take out, he'll be too busy trying to keep the green buffoon alive. Perfect.

"You better get moving," the General In Ashes says as he stalks beside her. Yet another bone-and-graves themed lackey for Venjix, yay. Tenaya gives him a dirty look.

"I _know_ that," she growls.

Back in the lab, the remote-animated hand gives the digital finger to another security system, PTHWIP, and then hops down from the top of the cabinet to scurry along the floor, screeching to a halt when Dillon appears in the middle of the scanner.

"ZIG! The hand! It's back!"

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Well, we did, of course...!" Ziggy beams. "It's not often we get -company- here, except for the occasional moments when Venjix's henchmen comes in..."

The klaxion goes off, and then Ziggy holds up a finger, motioning towards the alarm. "... like that. Please, please tell me this is just a drill..."

And then Dillon's shouting, and Ziggy palms his face with both hands. "I told you not to tell me that," he sighs... before it sinks in. "THE HAND?!"

Both of his hands automatically goes for the seat of his pants, lifting them up to prevent a wedgie, as he looks frantically about. "Okay, I don't want to cause any panic," he says to the visitors. "But be very, very careful. And if anything smacks you in the rear end, it's not me."

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
Well then. So much for an uneventful visit! Out of nowhere an alarm goes off and the entire base is in lockdown. Kimberly instantly looks on edge and confused, having no idea what to do. ...Until she sees the hand. "What the heck is that??" She almost shrieks in surprise as seeing a HAND skittering across the floor like a spider.

It's obviously not a good thing, proven by the others' yelling, so she knows exactly what to do, and that's get into action! "Tommy, go that way and try to cut it off!" She motions to her green partner while attempting to corner the hand and catch it. "Ziggy, don't just stand there! Get it!"

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy's instincts send him right into an epic karate pose. He heard an alarm and so he's already stepping into a fighting formation. He's definitely wanting to kick something in the face if there's going to be some villains attacking, then he's going to be ready to kick them all the way into the next episode. "A hand?" Tommy's eyes immediately look for anything small and anything that's moving without being attached to anything. His ranger instincts are kicking in.

Tommy dives onto the pool table, flipping over it and dropping down off the other side. In both of his hands, afterwards, are a pair of pool balls. They should work a bit better than grabbing the pool stick or something. "I'd say that's weird but... I've been through weirder." He hurls the 8 Ball off in the direction of what may or may not be that hand!

Dillon (549) has posed:
Eight ball? Hand slap! It careens off, bouncing off the window of the red street racer and towards the black Thunderbird. But before it can hurt his baby, Dillon catches the eight-ball. "Thanks!" It will come in handy ... er, useful. Yeah. The hand dives under the blue-painted troop-carrier. It waits, lurking, peering at the fellow with the green clothes and the pony tail, leaping up at the last moment to grab onto the hem of his shirt.

Tenaya says, "Hurry UP!" and the Grinder platoon following her and the General In Ashes goes into double-time: HupHupHupHup... they're a half-block away, and Tenaya directs them to start attacking civilians.

"Ranger Operator Series Green, Ranger Operator Series Black, there's a grinder attack very close to this location. We are locked down for ten minutes and fifteen seconds, so you will have to stop whatever plan Venjix has this time, before they get here!" That would be the voice of Doctor K, who sounds a bit like a sixteen year old girl who spends too much time in the library.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
Trying to find the hand was proving to be a tricky thing, considering it was a black gloved hand and it could fit into tiny spots like...

"Stay away from anything that it can hide in...!" Ziggy exclaims, as he brings his morpher into play. "RPM, GET IN... ACK!"

That might have been a punch to the solar plexus, and as Ziggy keels over, the hand skitters away, and ducks underneath the pool table.

Dillon (549) has posed:
"Ranger Operator Series Green, you know that's not the correct activation sequence," Doctor K's voice says over the speakers.

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
That hand did /not/ just grab Tommy! That's it, time to get serious, especially now that they know enemy troops are on the way. "This hand's gotta learn to keep to itself!" Kim growls and pulls a pool cue from the table.

"How is a single, disembodied hand this tricky anyway!" Kim is going straight for it, no hesitation, and is already on her knees and ducking under the pool table to jab at the hand with her cue like a pest. "Get out from under there, you!"

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy barely has time to register that the hand is on his shirt now. He's got the other ball in his hand but the dang thing is moving so fast that it's going to be hard to get a clear hit or shot at it. Tommy ends up scrambling around, trying to see over his shoulder and around his own sides to see if he can't get a better view of this thing.

"Guys! Over here!" Tommy sends this vocal signal out to the others that are nearby so they know where to pay attention. He's found the hand!

Yeah, the hand that has scurried beneath his shirt and attached itself to the back of his belt...?

Dillon (549) has posed:
If you've ever seen a squirrel in action, you know that they can move with incredible swiftness and agility. Now, turn that squirrel into a ninja, and make it evil. Or more evil, if you know what squirrels are really like.

The hand moves like that squirrel only WISHES it could. Really, it shouldn't be able to reverse direction in midair like that.

"NO!" Dillon yells, throwing the eight ball. It misses, because the hand has run around to the front, and now, it's leaped for the pool cue that Kimberly is waving and thrusting about like a fencing foil. It rides the tip of the cue for a moment before it escapes through the door, vanishing.

The eight ball may or may not hit Ziggy, but either way it lands in the bowl of guacamole. Dillon ignores the culinary disaster, heading for the door. He may or may not have said "RPM GET IN GEAR" -- if he did he didn't yell it very loud -- and he's moving rather fast and his Ranger uniform materializes around him before he's outside. There's a _vroom vroom_ noise from his feet as he kicks into high.

Grinders are a lot like Puttis, but also not. They seem to actually know how to fight, but they don't take a punch any better; they have no actual faces, but they do, sometimes, show hints of personality (which may be because they _might_ be humans who were experimentally turned into disposable robot grunts.)

Tenaya is waiting in the midst of the swarm of Grinders, who are terrifying people by doing generically mean things in the background. The General in Ashes is standing behind her, as smugly as a skeleton-themed robot destructoid can smug.

"TENAYA!" Dillon yells.

"Ranger Black," she smirks. "I have my prize. You're too late again." She shows off the morpher she stole from Tommy as she re-attaches her hand.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
Whimpering as he gets up slowly, Ziggy just stares at the speaker for a moment. "You -try- getting in gear when something's punching you!"

Unable to find it, Ziggy takes the chance to... *THUMP*

Going cross-eyed for a moment as the eight-ball bounces away, Ziggy staggers, clutching his morpher. "Ok, that does it... RPM, GET IN GEAR!"

One alloy-form suit later (It's NOT SPANDEX!), Ranger Green whips out his axe. "Okay, hold still... don't worry, I'm using the flat end!"

Except the hand takes off, and Ranger Green only gets in one swat, before he spins off after it. "Hey, get back here...!"

Following Ranger Black out, Ranger Green whimpers at the sight of the grinders. "How many this time...?"

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
Kimberly Hart does her best to stab at the offending hand, but to no avail as it goes running off with a very familiar belt buckle. "Crap! Tommy, your morpher!" This isn't good at all, they have to get it back! And so, without hesitating, Kimberly follows the others out the door with Tommy, still in her civilian attire.

Down the block they all finally come across exactly who the hand belongs to, Tenaya, as well as a group of lackey enemies and some weird bone guy. Tenaya's taunt in particular is what sets Kim off, feeling thoroughly pissed. "/Your/ prize? Listen here! I don't know who you are, but you're giving that back whether you want to or not!"

In a single movement she's unclipping her morpher from her belt and holding it in front of her as she shouts out, "It's Morphin' Time! Pterodactyl!" And in a flash her Pink Ranger armor envelops her while encasing her head in her signature, pterodactyl shaped helmet. "Hyah!!" Dillon and Ziggy may have a way of doing stuff in their world, but Kim doesn't have time for that while her friend's power morpher is in danger! And so, without even waiting for the others, she's leaping into the fray of Grinders, ready to punch and kick her way through.

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy notices the moment his morpher is gone and he's already giving chase. It is extremely difficult to keep up with a super fast and super agile hand, but he tries. A couple of wild reaches have him looking pretty stupid but he ends up skidding to halt once they make it outside and he sees everything else that's going on.

Also, he spots Tenaya. Holding his morpher.

Tommy immediately frowns, forming one stylishly poster worthy karate pose as he stares off in Tenaya's direction. He only has a moment where he watches the Pink Ranger jump into the fray and there's just a hint of a smile that happens as she does this. That hesitation fades just as quickly as it appeared and he's rushing off, civilian clothes and all, into the squad of Grinders. He takes to the sky and extends a leg, aiming to kick his way right into the battle. If Kim's going for his Morpher, he'll make sure to keep those Grinders away from her!

"Sik-HA!"

Dillon (549) has posed:
This is Tenaya 7, simply trying to get her gloat on a little before skipping back down the secret tunnel to the secret exit and then off to Venjix's nearest Assault Base, when some Pretty In Pink in a _skirt_ comes after her.

"I don't _think_ so," she says archly, letting the disposables get between her and the outsider Rangers. She turns and finds herself face-to-bony-chest with the General In Ashes.

"WELL? GET THEM!" she yells. The General draws a sword (of bones, naturally) and cuts an arc between himself and Tenaya, and the interlopers. The usual eruption and explosion bursts throw the grinders and possibly the rangers backwards, but before he can do his own monologue, Ranger Black is there with his own laser sword, striking hard, SLAM WHAM SLAM, spinning the old bones around. Clearly the battle will turn around at least twice but she expects him to die. Venjix considers his generals disposable, after all. So, Tenaya starts to make her way out. The Rangers will make quick work of the grinders, especially with that doltish bonehead doing more damage than the enemy. She needs to get to the tunnel.

At least one of the grinders seems to be staring up the Pink Ranger's skirt. The noises it makes are not the usual electronic grinding, more like questioning sounds. Yes, _that_ grinder is in this batch.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
While Pink Ranger was going straight for Tenaya, Ranger Green has a moment to reflect. "Wow... she goes right for the jugular, doesn't she? What happened to going through the swarm...?"

Smacking about with his Power Axe, Ranger Green sidesteps his way through the fallen grinders. Most of them were grinding away electronically, -except- for the one beeping grinder that seemed to be going '???... causing Ranger Green to slow down for a moment, and peer downwards. "Hey, aren't you the one that was lifting Flynn's kilt during the fight? Because I got to let you know, I'm pretty sure -she-'s wearing something underneath that skirt..."

And then Ranger Green is reminded to keep on fighting as a grinder gives him the bum's rush... literally, as Ranger Green is whacked onto his butt and dragged along until he manages to free himself with a flailing kick, and then tumbles upwards and onwards, swinging his axe furiously, with only a moment to rub at his butt. "Ow."

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
So Tenaya thinks she can run off? Not on Pink Ranger's watch. Like a whirlwind she flips, rolls, and dives through the swarm of Grinders, punching and kicking those that go for her, though once those in the immediate area are down she stands there, glaring at the fleeing enemy. ..At least until an odd beeping near her feet gets her attention.

Looking down, she notes the curiously perverted Grinder flat on its back trying to get a look, making the ranger huff angrily and kick it in the head before continuing on. "You're not going anywhere!" She calls after Tenaya and summons her bow and takes a proper stance while nocking her single arrow and drawing it back.

Pull back.. line up the shot.. breathe.. and release! Hoping her shot it true, the arrow sings through the air like a bullet directly at Tenaya's back where it explodes in a wash of flame and sparks upon impact.

Dillon (549) has posed:
Tenaya is not expecting to be shot in the back. She really has no reason to think that the Rangers are going to be Lawful Stupid Honorable, but for some reason she has that idea. So she's slightly outraged when she hears the SHREE of the arrow. She manages to do a twisting backflip, and thus, is not shot in the back ... but the arrow does hit the bottom of one of her boots.

The explosion sends her tumbling through the air, and the morpher arcs up and back, just out of her reach as she tries to catch it again...

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Tommy is in the middle of a squad of Grinders. He ducks a swipe and comes around with a heel to the chest of the Grinder. From there his foot heads in the direction of the next closest one, which gets sent twirling through the air and smashing into the ground from another one of Tommy's masterful kicks. He plants both feet on the ground and turns quickly to see another pair of Grinders headed in his direction.

Tommy smiles as he catches Tenaya getting arrow'd out the corner of his eye. He looks at the Grinders in front of him and runs straight at them. He leaps and plants both feet on their shoulders, sending himself into the air, "Thanks for the boost!" Tommy twists into a somersault, reaching out to grab the Power Morpher that's sailing through the air. "I'll take that!" Tommy's quips are all done in the air as he drops himself down to the ground. He looks at his communicator like its a watch. "Y'know what? I think..." Tommy takes a second to look at the Fourth Wall.

"It's Morphin' Time!"

Tommy gets overtaken by the Morphin' Grid and when the transformation ends he's decked out in his green and gold. Yeah, maybe his is spandex but it works for him. The Dragon Dagger gets spun around in his hand and he leaps once again to land right next to the Pink Ranger. "Thanks for the assist. Maybe you should go out for football." Time to fight! Cue music!

Dillon (549) has posed:
The General in Ashes is spinning around and stunned, and Dillon yells over to Ziggy, "Turbo Launcher time!"

He snaps his laser sword into its Rocket Blaster configuration, and with the Wolf Cruiser engine cell chip, he's ready -- if Ziggy gets here with his axe!

Ziggy Grover has posed:
With the minions out of the way, Ranger Green grabs his axe, leaping next to Ranger Black and slapping the axe in place.

With his Tail Spinner engine cell chip, snapping in place, Ziggy poses. "TURBO PLASMA LAUNCHER!"

BOOM!

A blast that oddly resembles the Wolf Cruiser blasts off, streaking towards the general in a howl.

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
Naturally, the Pink Ranger poses when her green partner lands beside her. "Lookin' good, Green!" She compliments, a smirk to her tone. Turning back to the battle, she sets her gaze on the General now that Tenaya is out of the way for the moment. "Now let's help these guys out and send this boneface packing! Power up!"

A second arrow materializes out of nowhere in her hand and she swiftly draws it back, training on the General as both bow and arrow begin to glow pink for a charged attack. And once Green gives the ready she let's it fly, only this time with a little more kick thanks to what Tommy's going to add!

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
Green Ranger is right behind the Pink Ranger when she launches that arrow. He takes a swing of his Dragon Dagger and sends a beam of green light to swarm all around the arrow. "Time to take out the trash!" The Green Ranger's Dragon Dagger beam looks almost like a Dragon's Maw as it bites down on the arrow and the swirling colors of pink and green look totally awesome (and powerful) together! This doesn't mean anything more than what it looks like though. Really. It's not an allusion to the Green and Pink Rangers at all!

It isn't!

Dillon (549) has posed:
The two combined power attacks strike the General In Ashes, spinning around him like a biting dog taking down a fleeing perp, or like a totally innocent arrow filled with dragons striking him in the chest.

He explodes, of course. It's what they do.

Dillon is still apprehensive. He looks over at where Tenaya had been blown up, and she's taken advantage of the moment to escape into one of the thousands of side-alleys, hidey-holes, and so forth, that fill the city.

Meanwhile, some miles away...

"YOUR FAILURE HAS BEEN NOTED, TENAYA 7. NOW. GENERAL IN ASHES, UPLOAD!"

Viral energy is suddenly pumped into the fallen robot's body and it begins to grow, almost like a balloon being inflated, _with evil._

"Doctor K? Are our zords online?" Ranger Black asks.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Affirmative, Ranger Operator Black," is Dr. K's terse response.

Bringing his hand up, Ranger Green whistles. "TAIL SPINNER ZORD!" he calls out, even as Ranger Black calls -his- zord.

"And now we're calling _ValueMax_ Zord configuration."

"It's VALVEMAX!"

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
"Bullseye!" Pink Ranger cheers and pumps her fist in victory, only to slowly lower it when the General starts to grow bigger and bigger and.. "Aw man, they do that here, too? Ugh, now I'm thinking of Rita." Turning to Green, she nods. "Guess we're following their lead. Good thing Alpha brought the zords along." She then extends her hand to the sky and shouts, "Pterodactyl Zord, let's go!"

A few moments later the pterodactyl-shaped jet will be seen lifting off from one of the Garage's hangars and screaming low through the air right towards them. At the last moment, Pink Ranger leaps with surprising acrobatics and somehow lands in the cockpit, strapping in and piloting her zord in an aerial swoop past the General, lighting him up with laserfire.

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
"I hope there's room for one more!"

Green Ranger takes a flying leap off to the side as monsters start to grow. He doesn't waste any more time and brings the Dragon Dagger up to the helmet and starts up his flute playing. Which is weird because he shouldn't be able to do that. But it happens anyway.

There's ground rumbling and water splashing as the Dragonzord shows up. It takes a few moments before it arrives but the huge Dragonzord of GREEN JUSTICE stomps onto the scene. ROAR!

"Dragonzord! Alright!" The Green Ranger is hyyyyyyype!

Dillon (549) has posed:
The bright orange Croc Carrier comes rumbling up out of _somewhere_ as Dillon leaps into his Wolf Cruiser. There is a confusing and somewhat scary moment while the Ranger Operative Series Green's Tail Spinner flies apart, along with the Croc Carrier splitting into several pieces, and then somehow there's arms, legs, a head, your classic armored giant robot. The Valve Max Megazord is here! And it's a good thing because the General In Ashes, Supersize, is swinging his Sword of Dead Bones at the Pterodactyl ... and it's already cut through a building - an abandoned skyscraper, apparently - and the building is now transformed into crumbling bones, collapsing in a heap.

"Woah!" That's Dillon's extremely profound and analytical take on the upgraded power of the enemy.

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"I have -no- idea why you even call this a -Valve Max-, Doc," Ranger Green complains, just before he calls out, "Look out!" at the Pterodactyl Zord. And then...

"Well, uh... they're counting on us, Dillon. So, um... you know, let's just take this guy down. Preferably before he cuts -us- into ribbons."

Lifting up the Tail spinner arm, Valve Max Zord swings, tail meeting sword and setting off sparks.

"Ready anytime you are...!"

Kimberly Hart (786) has posed:
The pterodactyl zord veers out of the way of the General's sword just as Ziggy exclaims that, the ranger within smirking confidently under her helmet. "Don't you guys worry about me! You three just get to blasting him while I've got him distracted!" Another pass sees to more laserfire scoring the enemy, though she's quick to barrel roll away when he takes another swing and turns yet another building to bones. This is what the pterodactyl is made for, pure speed, so it's perfect for buzzing around the General and keeping him busy for a moment.

Tommy Oliver (776) has posed:
The Green Ranger isn't even in his Zord. He's still on the ground with his Dragon Dagger. "Alright! Let's see if we can't send this guy on a trip!" The Green Ranger brings that dagger back up for some more flute action. Another joyful tune is played and the Dragonzord's chestplate lights up. The Dragonzord lets out a roar and stomps off in the direction of the General In Ashes, his body turning and swinging that huge tail at him! The end of the Dragonzord's tail spins rapidly!

Down below, the Green Ranger raises a gloved fist!

Dillon (549) has posed:
You'd think it would take a long time to take out the freshly empowered General In Ashes, but the pterodactyl is keeping it busy while the Dragonzord drills it, and a triple-power blast (three engine circuit boards producing a three-way enery spiral of Wolf, Shark and Croc) takes it from the back... the General explodes into a spray of fine bone powder that rains down on the city below.

"GREAT WORK, GUYS!" Dillon calls out. The enemy is defeated -- for now.

The process of de-zording and returning to the stature of mere mortals is handled off-screen; Ranger Black enters the garage, with the others close at hand, in time to see the other Rangers, plus Alpha and Doctor K, who defeated the viral lockdown and are now demolishing the spread of food.
