The After and Provoked (Part 5)

The red ranger runs down the sidewalk in a hurry, bumping into civilians by accident in the process. He apologizes as much as he can on his way to find where the screaming was taking place. People were running in the opposite direction in, panicking to hide in a safer location. Troy stops to see them flash by and is panting in a standstill. He squints his eyes admist the crowd to spot destructive action. That is how he caught five soldiers sprinting his way to harm the residents of Harwood.
  Troy starts running again to meet them in the middle. Surely enough, they came for a fight, and he was prepared to give one. His foot did the talking when he plants one in the ribs of a female soldier, who falls back into another. The other three try to corner him, although ultimately fail, and they battle it out. One punch, ducking a couple of times, two more punches, and a blast from his weapon momentarily did the trick. Unfortunately, it eventually proved to be too much to handle alone. Two soldiers had him by the arms, holding him backwards and stopping him from attacking.
  To their surprise, in the nick of time, another Ranger appears to get rid of them. Troy ducks when he performs a double-air kick to the face. This helps the red ranger get back into the fight as he joins up with his fellow hero, "Thanks Ravi."

"No problem." The blue Beast Ranger replies and the two see the soldiers charge once more. They throw another a nod of confidence and begin to tussle with their enemies. Blast after blast and hit after hit, they decently hold up the group against them. Most of them go down, however, more continued to show to take them out, "Man do they never run out?!"

Troy kicks one to the floor, "It doesn't seem like it!"

"Hang on you guys!" Emma hollers. The team use their blasters to hit all of the enemies coming and recovering. Devon punched one into another as Orion knees one in the abdomen. The others meet up with Troy and Ravi in the middle of the stadium.

"Are you sure about this?" The dragon leader questions pertaining to their injuries.

"We're not hiding the fact that it hurts." Jake takes a jab at him for earlier, "But we can't let them capture anyone."

Disregarding the first part his comment, Troy nods and says, "Alright." He looks passed his friends, "Well, get ready."

All of them stand in a line and collectively shout, "It's Morphin Time! Go go Megaforce!"

Orion takes his turn to yell, "Gold silver fusion, activate!"

Ravi goes beside his team to lead their simultaneous morph, "Activate beast power!"

It takes one person to spark an idea, but it takes many more to make it a reality. The soldiers took on the two groups of Rangers head on. Both sides aim at the other to become the one left standing. Someone watches from the wings in waiting for the right moment to appear. He lets his comrades handle the heroes for a while, seeing how they perform versus the rest. Devon kicks a soldier to Emma, who blast him in the chest to stun him for the moment. Gia teams up with Ravi to take down three women as Orion and Zoey go for the other two men, "Hiyah!"

"Nice!" Orion high fives her. The two then jump out of the way when Carla throws a soldier over and Daniel slams another, "Gah!"

"...Woah." Zoey finds herself being shocked more and more.

Orion nods and they continue to fend off the threat. The person in the distance of the brawl slowly brings out his sword from the side of his leg and holds it steady. He is in his stance to run, and once he does, his next stop was to the floor. The two roll and tumble for a bit before reaching their feet. The guy growls, "Damn it!"

"You're not exactly slick Malcolm." His opponent taunts.

He scoffs, "I can be."

"That was hardly anything. Try not to poke your head out so much. Your head's so big I could stand thirty miles away and still see you." Another tease is laid out.

"And your hair doesn't make you stand out?" Malcolm claps back.

"Maybe." She gets in her stance, "But I'm just saying, there's a reason why I'm better than you."

Malcolm sneers at this and the two fight each other. In perfect synchronicity, they strike one another back and forth. Savannah goes down first, but recovers adequately, and nails him in the gut. He stumbles and nearly trips over himself, however fairs well. During this, the red ranger helps Jake handle four more soldiers. He has one cornered and beats the crap out of him to the best of his ability. The green ranger comes and finishes the job by kicking the side of his head. Troy smiles at his teammate, but quickly looks passed him to see Savannah wrangling with her opponent.
   Hesitation out of the equation, the dragon leader runs to her pronto. Jake must confront his next set of targets alone when he leaves. The two arrive out of nowhere, yet proved to be just like the others. He smirks at the challenge and starts battling the duo. Malcolm pins Savannah to the concrete floor, "It's fun seeing you struggle. It doesn't happen often." Savannah tries to wiggle out of his grip, but cannot, "Maybe I can change that."

A blast to the side of his stomach has him shout in pain and he rolls onto the floor. The redhead flips herself up and turns to see the red ranger holding his blaster like a gun, "Don't touch her."

Malcolm pushes himself back up and wipes the dirt from his knees, "Heh, what are you, her boyfriend?"

Troy derides, "Not right now." Savannah gives him a surprised glance, but holds back on commenting. Malcolm charges and the duo head in his direction to combat him. Devon uses his cheetah speed to knock out four soldiers at once. He triumphantly looms over them with a smile, but a soldier leaps and tackles him to the ground, "Oof!"

"Hold on Devon!" Zoey yells and quickly helps Emma with her opponent before running over. She blasts the female soldier off of him and pulls him up, "They're winding down."

Ravi utilizes his gorilla strength and punches a soldier back into the wall. Another comes for him and the blue ranger smirks. He crouches down fast and both Orion and Steel jump over him to attack with the super silver spear and the blaster. One slash across the chest, two for the stomach, one against the neck, and a blast in the rib cage makes the enemy crumble. The sixth addition to the team and half human robot grin. As fast as it came is as fast as it went however upon seeing ten more soldiers approaching onto the scene, "...That little-!"

The noise of the constant fighting drowns Orion's language. Malcolm faces a right hook to the jaw and a forceful kick to the stomach. He falls backwards and lays on the ground flat, punching the floor in frustration. The teens do move wisely so, waiting for his comeback. He pushes himself to his feet and his hands start to glow. Everyone's attention turns towards him and their eyes go wide. Savannah glances to her parents, who nod to her and then the Rangers. With a sharp eye on his targets, Malcolm fires, the spread of the attack going far and wide.
  As if in slow motion, the entire group runs in front, swords and blasters in hand. The River's and Troy into the air, flip, and spike themselves down to the floor to counter the attack. The equal amount of blasts made by the remaining heroes adds to their assault. The two opposing sets of power collides and crackles in the center of the stadium. Its strong force splits both ways, pushing everyone back who was involved. Each person hits the floor in a loud thud and the Rangers de-morph. Malcolm and the rest of the clan are whisked into the air until they crash land with harsh impact. Kent witnesses this from his ship monitor, spying on the fight, and patiently waits to see what will occur next. Nothing does for a few seconds, only quietude lingers.

"Rangers? Rangers?!" Gosei yelps through their morphers, "Rangers, come in!"

Jake was the first to show a sign of response. He grunts, using his hands to slowly press himself up to his knees. He examines every part surrounding him. His friends, including the Beast Morphers, were laying on the ground, unresponsive for the moment. He takes this time to catch his breath while holding his battered stomach. The wind blows in a whistle. Jake becomes concerned for everyone and warily begins to stand. A hand falls on his shoulder, making him look up with a, "huh?"
   He sees the redheaded risk-taker, calm as if she was there the entire time. The green ranger stares back as her hand soon slides off of his shoulder to extend in order to help him. Noah graciously takes the offer to be assisted in returning to his feet. The grunt of another catches their attention. The red Megaforce ranger stands next, shaking his head and wiping of the access grime. He takes a breath of his own and turns to see two of his friends standing. This puts a small smile on his face before walking over to help Carla and Gia.
   Savannah goes over to Ravi and Devon when Jake checks on Emma, Orion, and Zoey. Daniel is dazed, but is able to steadily rise on his own. Malcolm's head snaps to look at the opposing side. He silently watches them while his fleet gradually get to their knees. Half of them smile halfway, others smirks, and one places his hand on Malcolm's shoulder. The new second in command turns slightly his way, yet does not say a word. He faces back to the group and observes them gaining the strength they need to stand. Savannah cocks her eyebrow, grips her sword, but nothing comes of it since he and his crew flash away.

"...Um...maybe that move needed more work." Steel comments moments after.

"Yeah." Jake agrees and takes a look at the damage done, "...Where'd they go?"

The question lingers as no one had an answer.
