TROY

Page Nine

Troy and his friends were at the park sparring.  Noah had teamed up with Emma. Troy and Jake in another group.  Gia gives Jake a winning smile as he does well against Troy.  The sparring ends.  Troy:  "Good job today guys."  Jake goes over to high five with Gia, but misses as Gia quickly turns around when her morpher goes off.  Gia holds up her morpher and everyone can hear Tensou:  "Monster attack!  Roth park!  Robo Knight is already there!"  Troy:  "Let's move!"  Troy and his friends morph as they race through the park.  All:  "Go Go Megaforce!"  When Red Ranger and the rest of the Rangers arrive, Robo Knight is already facing down Shadow Serpent.  Red Ranger:  "Hold it right there monster!"  Robo Knight:  "Stop.  Go back into the shade or he will eat your shadows."  Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black Ranger took a few steps backwards.  Black Ranger:  "Fine.  We'll stay a stone's throw away."  Black Ranger pulled out a power card.  "Rock rush card!  Activate!"  Two large rocks went flying towards Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent:  "Let's play rock, paper, shadow!"  Shadow Serpent's tongue quickly gobble up the rocks' shadows and they fell to the ground.  Red Ranger grabbed a hold of Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger.  Red Ranger:  "Let's head for the shade!"  Shadow Serpent:  "Ha!  Too late!"  Shadow Serpent whipped his tail at the five Rangers.  They were hit hard and fell to the ground.  Shadow Serpent stepped closer.  "Time for another tongue lashing."  Red Ranger and the rest quickly get back up and tried to avoid being hit by Shadow Serpent's tongue.  Red Ranger:  "Quick!  Under that tree!"  Yellow Ranger:  "Right!"  Blue Ranger:  "Right!"  Black Ranger:  "Right!"  Pink Ranger:  "Right!"  They raced towards a tree and stayed in it's shade.  Shadow Serpent is pleased.  "Excellent.  Bunch up like that, so I can take you all down with one strike."  Shadow Serpent uses it's tail and strikes the five Rangers beneath the tree.  Red Ranger and the rest hit the ground once more.  Robo Knight steps forward with his Robo Blaster.  "Target located."  Red Ranger gets up and grabs a hold of Shadow Serpent.  He has his Dragon Sword at the ready.  Pink Ranger:  "Troy!"  Red Ranger:  "Guys, find some more shade while you can!"  Robo Knight:  "I have a shot.  Red Ranger, move."  Shadow Serpent:  "Get off of me and move to where I can steal your shadow!"  Shadow Serpent shakes off Red Ranger.  He lands close to Robo Knight.  Robo Knight:  "You interfered.  The monster was in my sights and you jumped in the way."  Clouds arrived and covered the sun.  Shadow Serpent:  "Oh, too bad.  The sun's away, so no more play.  But next time, I'll eat you for breakfast."  Shadow Serpent vanished.  Red Ranger gets back up.  Red Ranger:  "He's gone!  Come on!  Let's regroup!"  Yellow Ranger:  "Right!  That's a good idea!"  Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger get up and run after Red Ranger.  The teens demorph as they run.  Troy stops for a moment, as he is in a great deal of pain.  Noah:  "Troy!"  Troy answers quietly.  "Yeah."  Gia:  "I can't believe how easy that guy took us down."  Robo Knight walks up to them.  Robo Knight:  "You got in the way.  The problem is not your opponent, it was you."  Jake gets very angry and steps forward.  "Hey!  Troy was just trying to defend us so that we all could retreat to the shade."  Emma is angry too.  "He did it to protect us."  It doesn't matter to Robo Knight.  "Therein lies the problem with humans.  You worry too much about each other.  If you hadn't interfere, I would have finished him."  Robo Knight walks away.  Only Gia is impressed with Robo Knight.  "What a machine."  Jake:  "What a jerk!"  Noah puts his hand on Troy's shoulder.  "I'm glad you figured it out in time.  You saved us."  Emma:  "He'll be back though."  Troy:  "I know.  This one will be hard to beat."  Later, Troy finds Robo Knight on top of a building.  He makes his presence known.  Troy:  "Robo Knight!"  Troy walks towards Robo Knight as he talks to him.  Robo Knight kept his back towards Troy.  Troy:  "About what you said earlier at the park.  I've been thinking about how to defeat Shadow Serpent.  Well, it gave me an idea.  Like you, the monster thinks working as a team is a weakness.  And that's how we get him.  I noticed that he opens himself up to attack when he steals shadows.  If we work together, we can act as bait, and you can make the surprise attack."  Robo Knight turned his head slightly.  Robo Knight:  "You mean you will risk yourselves, so I can attack him?"  Troy:  "Yes."  Robo Knight turns around and walks towards Troy.  He stands face to face with Troy.  Robo Knight:  "It is illogical for you to take such a risk.  We will work together, but separately.  And I will surely beat the monster."  Troy:  "It's a good plan Robo Knight."  Robo Knight:  "I'm a machine.  I do not plan.  I attack.  You think like a human.  You take risks.  Too much risks.  I will defeat him alone."  Robo Knight turned around and had his back facing Troy once more.  Troy started to walk away, but then paused for a moment.  Troy:  "Well, think about it.  We'll see you on the battlefield."  Troy walked away.  Robo Knight:  "That you will."  Troy went to Ernie's Brain Freeze.  Troy was sitting at the counter when Emma joined him.  She asks, did you convince Robo Knight to work with us?  Troy replies, no.  That robot is stubborn.  Why can't he see that we're fighting on the same side?  Emma is confident that Robo Knight will come around.  No one can resist that call of the Red Ranger for long.  Troy grins and tells her, that's what I like about you Emma.  You're always so positive.  If only everything could be that easy.   The next day, Shadow Serpent is back and ready to gobble up the shadows of a train and all onboard.  Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Black Ranger, and Pink Ranger arrive and immediately fire their Mega Blasters at Shadow Serpent's tongue.  Shadow Serpent's tongue quickly returns.  Shadow Serpent isn't too fazed.  Fine, I'll settle on snacking on your shadows instead.  Black Ranger responds, sorry for spoiling your appetite, but those shadows you took, we're taking them back!  Shadow Serpent uses it's tail and strikes the five Rangers hard, knocking them off their feet.  Robo Knight leaps in and lands by the Rangers.  He tells them to take cover.  Just stay back.  I will handle this.  Shadow Serpent points out that they are threatening him in a place with no shade.  It's like you didn't even think about it.  Look, if you're not even going to try, then neither am I.  Red Ranger tells him, we have a plan.  Let's go!  Robo Knight watches as Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger activate their mega quake.  Thousands of small pieces of earth fly up into the sky.  Blue Ranger activates his sea shower.  Tons of water shoots into the sky, breaking up the pieces of earth and causing a large cloud.  Red Ranger and Pink Ranger activated their twist tornado.  With the tornado, the skies became completely dark.  Shadow Serpent is not impressed.  Ha!  That was your plan to stop me!  Shadow Serpent uses his power to break up the dark skies.   Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black Ranger fall to the ground as the skies turn sunny once more.  Yellow Ranger notes, the serpent sure twist things around.  Robo Knight tells them their scattered efforts are not effective.  Stay back.  You had your chance.  Now I'll deal with this monster.  Shadow Serpent responds, don't be so sure Robo Knight.  Shadow Serpent shoots his power at Robo Knight.  Robo Knight quickly fires his Robo Blaster and then jumps out of the way, landing behind Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent admits, that's pretty good for a robot.  Shadow Serpent quickly turns around and uses it's tongue to attack Robo Knight.  Robo Knight gets into the tall foliage but Shadow Serpent's tongue wraps itself around Robo Knight.  Shadow Serpent uses it's tongue to whip Robo Knight out of the foliage and then releases him into the sky.  Red Ranger notes Robo Knight is in big trouble, let's move!  The five Rangers take off running.  Robo Knight lands on the ground, but quickly gets back up.  Shadow Serpent shoots fire out of it's mouth at Robo Knight.  Robo Knight tries to avoid getting hit by the fire while at the same time firing his Robo Blaster at Shadow Serpent.  But it becomes too much and Robo Knight is engulfed in flames and then falls to the ground.  Shadow Serpent notes, monster beats machine.  Now back to eating every human shadow I find.  The rest of the Rangers arrive with their mega weapons drawn.  They gathered around the fallen Robo Knight.  Robo Knight tells them to forget him.  Get Shadow Serpent.  Red Ranger tells Robo Knight that he is one of them.  We can take care of our own and find a way to stop this guy.  Robo Knight struggles to get up as he tells them no, not logical.  Shadow Serpent thinks the Rangers have another half baked plan and fires at the Rangers.  The five Rangers charge towards Shadow Serpent with their mega weapons.  Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger leap into the air and strike Shadow Serpent with the Shark Bowgun and Phoenix Shot.  Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger fight Shadow Serpent with the Dragon Sword, Tiger Claw, and Snake Ax.  Shadow Serpent tells them they are lucky it's cloudy here.  Blue Ranger and Pink Ranger join the fighting with their mega weapons.  Blue Ranger is knocked off his feet and he lands close by Robo Knight.  Blue Ranger tells Robo Knight that he is wrong about them.  We have emotions, but that's not a weakness.  Blue Ranger charges back into the fight with his Shark Bowgun.  As he fights, Black Ranger tells Robo Knight, feelings are what motives us.  Yellow Ranger adds, we're just as committed to the mission as you.  We do it as a team.  Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger are knocked off their feet.  Pink Ranger quickly hurries over and blocks Shadow Serpent's blow with her Phoenix Shot.  Pink Ranger tells Robo Knight, if we can't protect each other, then how can we protect the world?!  Pink Ranger lands a kick before being knocked off her feet.  Robo Knight notes they are like gears in a motor working together.  Red Ranger leaps in and fights Shadow Serpent with his Dragon Sword.  Red Ranger points out when they combine their strength, it multiplies by five.  The five Rangers combined their mega weapons to form the Megaforce Blaster.  Shadow Serpent becomes concern as the Rangers fire the Megaforce Blaster at Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent is hit hard.  Red Ranger notes, that should do it.  But Shadow Serpent survives the blow and tells them, wrong again Rangers.  Shadow Serpent blasts his power towards the five Rangers, knocking them into the air and off their feet.  Red Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, and Black Ranger hit the ground.  Shadow Serpent gloats, five times zero is still zero.  Red Ranger tells Robo Knight, we're on the same team.  Remember that plan I talked about?  We're going for it.  We're counting on you.  Robo Knight is surprised that they are trusting their lives to him.  Shadow Serpent brags, oh, what a lovely buffet.  The five Rangers gather together as Shadow Serpent's tongue moves towards them.  The Rangers' shadows are taken and they stand frozen in place.  Shadow Serpent gloats, their shadows are mine as Robo Knight yells no!  Red Ranger tells Robo Knight to attack now!  Robo Knight vows I will not waste this chance.  Robo Knight leaps into the air and transforms into Lion Mechazord.  He flies towards the tongue and breaks it apart as he flies through it.  Lion Mechazord strikes Shadow Serpent several times, knocking him to the ground.  The Rangers' shadows have been returned.  Red Ranger knew Robo Knight would not fail them.  Lion Mechazord transforms back into Robo Knight.  Robo Knight fights Shadow Serpent with his Robo Blade.  Shadow Serpent tries to strike Robo Knight with a spear, but Robo Knight knocks it away.  Robo Knight fires his Robo Blaster several times at Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent is hit hard and falls to the ground.  Robo Knight activates his Vulcan Cannon and fires it at Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent is defeated.  The Rangers race towards Robo Knight.  Robo Knight admits Red Ranger's plan worked.  There is true power in teamwork.  Shadow Serpent pleads to send the Zombats.  The Zombats arrive and soon Shadow Serpent is giant size.  Robo Knight tells the rest of the Rangers, together we will stop him.  Excited, Yellow Ranger asks Red Ranger if he heard that?  Black Ranger adds, good job man.  Robo Knight transforms into Lion Mechazord.  The Knight Brothers have also been activated and they arrive quickly.  Gosei Grand Megazord is activated and quickly formed.  The rest of the Rangers summon their zords and quickly leap inside them.  Gosei Great Megazord is activated and formed.  Gosei Grand Megazord and Gosei Great Megazord face down Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent comments, you know what they say?  The bigger they are, the better they are for shish kebab.  Shadow Serpent charges towards the two megazords with a spear in each hand.  Gosei Great Megazord and Gosei Grand Megazord fight Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent strikes Gosei Grand Megazord with one of the spears.  Both megazords simultaneously land a punch on Shadow Serpent.  Shadow Serpent strikes both of the megazords with it's tail.  Shadow Serpent opens it's mouth and blasts both megazords.  The megazords break apart and fall to the ground.  Shadow Serpent comments, you're barely a light snack now.  He blasts all the zords.  Dragon Mechazord avoids the blasts as it flies towards Shadow Serpent  Lion Mechazord charges towards Shadow Serpent as well.  Lion Mechazord notes even if he has the advantage of size, our combined power can still prevail.  All the mechazords blasts Shadow Serpent.  The Rangers receive a new power card - Gosei Great Grand Megazord power card.  Lion Mechazord notes it's a reward for working together.  Gosei Great Grand Megazord is activated and formed.  Red Ranger states, let's hit this guy where the sun don't shine.  Shadow Serpent replies, bring it on!  Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger launches their land lance attack.  Shadow Serpent is hit hard.  Blue Ranger launches his sea spike attack.  Shadow Serpent is hit with several tides of water.  Shadow Serpent screams, what are you doing?!  Red Ranger and Pink Ranger launch their sky spear attack.  Shadow Serpent is hit several times with the sky spear attack.  Shadow Serpent warns them that he can still steal their shadows.  As long as the light still shines, I will not be defeated.  Red Ranger responds, then it's time to put your lights out.  The Rangers activate their victory charge for Gosei Great Grand Megazord.  Shadow Serpent is hit and destroyed.  Inside the cockpit, the Rangers celebrate their victory.  Red Ranger states, by working together, I know we can accomplish anything.  Everyone's shadows are returned.  After the battle, Robo Knight meets with the teens.  He comments, good job Red Ranger.  Your plan worked.  Our mission is the same.  Even though our methods may differ at times, we should collaborate.  Noah gets excited, but before he can say much, Robo Knight stops him.  But you still have a lot to learn.  Robo Knight starts to walk away, but then pauses for a moment.  He tells them, perhaps we all do.  Robo Knight walks away.  Emma jokes, wow, there was almost a compliment in there.  Jake adds, I know.  For a second there, I thought we were going to get a robo hug.  Emma laughs.  Troy is just glad that Robo Knight is finally on their side for real.  Gia shoots an admiring glance at Robo Knight's retreating form and gives a sigh.  You have to admit that Robo Knight is tough as nails.  Noah asks Gia if she is sure you two aren't related?  Gia shoots him a glare and Noah quickly backs up laughing.  Jake tells Gia, don't worry, I'll get him for you.  Both Gia and Jake chase Noah around.  Gia shouts, I'll show you tough!  Troy and Emma start to walk away, as their friends circle them.
