On Fins And Needles - Page Five
Jason and Tommy land in back of the group, but they push their way towards the front. Tommy pushes Alpha 5 out of the way. Alpha 5 tells him to slow down. There's plenty of room for everybody. No need to push. Zordon informs them, we're attempting to track Rita's latest monster. Behold the viewing globe. Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and Trini turn around and face the viewing globe. Jason and Tommy glare at each other before turning around and facing the viewing globe. The viewing globe is showing images of Rita's latest monster. Zordon continues, this is Rita's Slippery Shark. It's extremely elusive and hard to pin point with our equipment. Trini is impressed with it's speed. Wow, look at it go. Zordon adds, not only can it fly through the air at incredible velocity, but it's able to travel underground with it's exposed fin tearing into anything in it's path. Zack comments, man, talk about a nightmare for a dentist. Look at those teeth. Billy adds, I'm certainly glad I got over my fear of fish. Tommy tells Jason, you might as well forget it. This is too much for you to handle. Jason responds, man, why don't you give it up? You don't stand a chance because you're too slow. Tommy asks, who're you calling slow? Before Jason can respond, Zordon interrupts them. He tells them they must listen to him very carefully. Your anger is not real. Rita has used the shark's special powers to cast a spell on the two of you. Turning you against one another. Billy adds, of course. Now that Jason and Tommy are enemies, Rita is using that power struggle to destroy our team spirit. Kimberly asks if there is any way to break the spell? Zordon responds, there is only one way to reverse the effect of the shark's evil power. Jason and Tommy must put aside how they feel about each other right now and work together to capture this dangerous creature. Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and Trini exchange skeptical looks. Trini asks, isn't there anything the rest of us can do? Zordon replies, unfortunately no Trini. You and the other Rangers must stand by. This is not the answer Kimberly, Billy, Zack, and Trini wanted to hear. Zordon adds, ultimately it will take all of you to destroy this monster. Tommy tells Jason, I will take care of this part. Jason quickly replies, don't even think about it. Eager to prove who is better, Jason and Tommy morph and teleport out as their friends can only shake their heads.
Red Ranger and Green Ranger arrive in the area. Green Ranger suggests they make things interesting. If I destroy the shark, I take over as leader of the Power Rangers. Red Ranger adds, and if I get it first, you turn in your power coin! Green Ranger agrees. Red Ranger and Green Ranger storm off in opposite directions. Slippery Shark travels underneath the ground at first, and then leaps through the area. He is laughing as he moves along with ease. Red Ranger stops in an area and demands that Slippery Shark show itself. Red Ranger spots Slippery Shark's fin just in front of him and goes after it. Slippery Shark leaps through the air to get away. Slippery Shark flies by Red Ranger and knocks him to the ground. Red Ranger rolls onto the ground, but quickly recovers. Red Ranger comments, talk about fast! Slippery Shark goes beneath the ground once more. Red Ranger pulls out his Blade Blaster and fires at Slippery Shark's fin. It doesn't faze Slippery Shark at all. Slippery Shark heads straight for Red Ranger. Red Ranger quickly gets up and tells Slippery Shark to back off. Red Ranger leaps out of the way as Slippery Shark goes past him. Slippery Shark breaks through the ground and continues on it's way. Red Ranger races after it. Green Ranger is searching a different area. Green Ranger pauses for a moment and then notices Slippery Shark's fin coming towards him. Slippery Shark's fin knocks Green Ranger off his feet. Slippery Shark keeps going after Green Ranger. Green Ranger tries to stay out of the way but is knocked off his feet once more. Green Ranger gets back up on his feet. Slippery Shark breaks through the ground and strikes Green Ranger. Green Ranger is knocked off his feet and rolls onto the ground. Slippery Shark disappears beneath the ground and then uses it's fin to knock Green Ranger off his feet once more. Green Ranger chases after Slippery Shark. Soon he runs into Red Ranger.
