Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie by Heather Ray (free books to read TXT) 📕

The rangers entered the smokey room, and the headlights of five high-tech cars came to life.

"They're just cars," said Adam.

"THEY ARE EXTRAORDINARY CARS, EQUIPPED WITH THE POWER AND VELOCITY OF TURBO TECHNOLOGY. INDIVIDUALLY, THEY ARE FORMIDABLE FIGHTING MACHINES, AND WHEN MERGED TOGETHER, THEY FORM THE TURBO-MEGAZORD, THE MOST POWERFUL ZORD EVER CREATED."

Four of the cars drove forward, approaching the rangers, who stood in a line. "ADAM, DESERT THUNDER WILL BE YOURS TO COMMAND,"

Zordon decreed, as the green van flashed its headlights in response. Adam gazed at it in wonder.

"KATHERINE,"

continued Zordon, "YOURS IS CALLED WIND CHASER."

The pink and white car flashed its headlights, and Katherine marveled at it.

"TANYA, DUNE STAR IS YOUR TURBO ZORD,"

said Zordon, as the yellow truck drove over to her. She smiled proudly.

"AND TOMMY, RED LIGHTNING WILL SERVE YOU WELL."

Tommy cracked a small, one sided grin, and nodded his head.

"What about Rocky's?" asked Adam, looking at the lifeless blue vehicle in the background. Adam winced as he remembered the devastating fall during practice, which lead to his best friend being carried to the hospital. He was surely in no shape to join the fight.

"THE MOUNTAIN BLASTER WILL STAY BEHIND FOR NOW."

"Remember rangers," said Alpha, as a circular machine with five patches of color rose from the smokey floor, "Once inside the Nemesis Triangle, communication with the Power Chamber will be impossible."

"BEFORE YOU ARE YOUR TURBO MORPHERS,"

said Zordon, as the rangers approached the circular table, "FIVE KEYS SIMILAR TO LERIGOT'S GOLDEN KEY. INDIVIDUALLY, THEY WILL POWER UP YOUR ZORDS, AND GIVE YOU ACCESS TO YOUR MORPHIN POWERS. BUT ONLY TOGETHER WILL THEY BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SEE YOU SAFELY THROUGH YOUR MISSION. TAKE THE MORPHERS, AND ACCEPT YOUR DESTINY."

"Ready?" asked Tommy, raising his hand.

"Ready," Kat said, as the four teens held their hands over the center of the machine. A soft white light turned on right under their hands, and they pulled their hands back, touching the colored tiles before them. Bright energy passed through their bodies, morphin them into the Green, Yellow, Pink, and Red Turbo Rangers. After the initial rush of power, the rangers oriented themselves.

"Alright guys," said Tommy, the Red Turbo Ranger, "Let's go to work."

The Turbo Rangers left the Power Chamber in their Zords, and rode off across the desert, to begin their perilous new journey. As soon as they left, a young man walked into the Power Chamber from the background.

"BY ACCEPTING THIS HONOR,"

said Zordon to the young man in blue, "YOU ARE ALSO ACCEPTING A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. AS THE NEWEST RANGER, YOU MUST TAKE YOUR LEAD FROM THE OTHERS, AND LEARN TO USE YOUR NEW POWERS WISELY. YOU WILL COMMAND THE MOUNTAIN BLASTER, AND WILL BE KNOWN AS THE BLUE TURBO RANGER. GOOD LUCK, AND MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU."

The Blue Ranger, already morphed into his uniform, quickly leapt into his zord to catch up with his new teammates.

The Green, Yellow, Red, and Pink Turbo Zords drove up to an abandoned dock in the twilight. The four rangers, now unmorphed, exited their cars, and looked around warily.

"I think I've found it," said Tommy, looking out into the water. There was an ancient, mystical ship floating on the ocean. This ship was their means of transport to the Island of Muiranthias.

"The Ghost Gallion," whispered Katherine, "It's amazing,"

Tommy turned around in surprise when he heard an engine roaring. "Guys," he said, "Check it out!"

The four rangers watched in surprise as the Mountain Blaster parked beside the other Turbo Zords along the shore.

"Rocky?" Adam asked as a figure wearing blue jeans leapt out of the car. Tommy focussed his flashlight on the young man as he closed the car to the door.

"Wow cool," said the figure with a smile. Tommy and Katherine traded confused glances, and approached the young boy. He was Justin Stewart, a twelve year old friend of Rocky's.

"Justin, what are you doing here?!" Tanya cried in exasperation.

"Rocky couldn't make it, so he sent me," Justin replied.

"What are you talking about?" Adam asked with a frown.

"Guys," Justin announced with a wide smile, "I'm the new Blue Ranger! Is that cool or what?"

Tanya rolled her eyes, and huffed. Tommy sighed and touched his forehead.

"What?" asked Katherine, still not believing what she's hearing.

"I was afraid I wouldn't make it," Justin continued, "Alpha had to give me a crash-course in driving. Good thing you don't need a license to drive a zord."

The four veteran rangers all tried to let this new information sink it. Tanya just couldn't believe Zordon had chosen a twelve year old kid to replace Rocky, a loyal, formidable Ranger. She stared at Justin in shock, and looked up at the others worriedly. Her eyes communicated what they were all feeling. This mission was too dangerous for a rookie. Especially a little kid.

"What are we doing here anyway?" Justin asked, looking out at the waters.

"We'll talk about this later," Tommy said, pointing his flashlight to the Ghost Gallion, "Right now, we have a boat to catch."

The rangers rode out to sea, and spent the night on the Ghost Gallion. By noon the following day, the ship had reached the tropical island of Muiranthias, with a giant volcano at its center.

"Guys," panted Adam, "we gotta hurry! Lerigot's dying!"

"We may already be too late," said Kat solemnly, glancing at Tommy. His face hardened.

"Alright," he said, "we'll leave the vehicles here, and go for the silent approach. Take our your morphers, its time to kick into action. Shift Into Turbo!"

Simultaneously, the four veteran rangers held up their left arms. Justin held up his right, and received a cold glare from Tanya.

"Oops," he muttered sheepishly, turning around. Tommy shook his head.

"Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!"

shouted Justin.

"Desert Thunder Turbo Power!"

called Adam.

"Dune Star Turbo Power!"

cried Tanya.

"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!"

yelled Katherine.

"Red Lightning Turbo Power!"

bellowed Tommy. The five teens were instantly morphed into the mighty Turbo Power Rangers, and Justin, who was about five feet tall originally, grew to equal height with Tommy.

"Let's do it!" Tommy commanded.

"Right!" Justin yelled excitedly.

The four rangers began running towards the volcano, while Justin was admiring his uniform. He then turned around, and noticed they were leaving.

"Hey!" he called, "wait for me!"

Inside the volcano is a stone chamber, with a deep pit of molten lava in the center. This is the resting place of the dreaded creature Maligore. Divatox leads her entourage into the chamber. Jason and Kimberly are both in chains, as well as Lerigot. Piranatrons carry Yara and Bitel in a small wooden cage, just in case Lerigot tries something.

"I love it," said Divatox, admiring the decor of the chamber, "I love it, I love it, I love it! The steaming skulls... perfect!"

Divatox walked around the room, commenting on the decorating. Lerigot, who can't last in Earth's atmosphere for very long, suddenly passed out on the ground. Divatox paid him no heed.

"Alright!" she roared, "Now its time to feed my future husband! Prepare the humans first!"

"On your feet!" ordered Elgar, as he and a Piranatron grabbed Kimberly by the arms and forced her to stand. She released a quiet yelp, and was lead towards the pit of lava.

"He can have the Liarians for dessert," Divatox said, grinning at Yara. She then put her hands on her hips, and focused on the lava pit. "If anyone here knows a reason why we should not be wed...SHUT UP

!!"

Divatox approached the lava pit, as the Muiranthians began chanting.

"Maligore, the Flame of Destruction," she said quietly, "it is I, Divatox, your one and only true soul-mate. This moment is long in coming, and now, I bring you two perfect specimens to seal our matrimonial pact!"

She glanced up, and watched as Kimberly and Jason struggled against the ropes holding them a few feet over the opening of the lava pit. Come forth, and feed upon their purity! Come forth, and let evil and hatred twist their souls! Join forces with me!"

The crowd of villains gave a cheer, as a Piranatron began to lower Kim and Jason into the pit of lava. Suddenly, the five Turbo Rangers ran into the chamber, scaring the Muiranthian natives who were performing a ceremonial dance.

"Hey," said Tommy, after first glancing at Kim and Jason, "Did we miss the party?"

"Who invited you?" Divatox snarled.

"We did!" said Jason smartly, "Rangers, this is Divatox. Divatox... this is your worst nightmare."

Kimberly couldn't take her eyes off the Red Ranger. She knew in her heart it was Tommy under that helmet, and she would have known even if Jason hadn't mentioned it earlier. There was a flicker of hope in her panicked doe-brown eyes. Maybe he does still care after all. He risked it all, just to save us. He wouldn't let me down. Not again.

"Ha!" Divatox chuckled at Jason's wit, "Lower them into the volcano."

The Piranatron obeyed, and Kim and Jason cried out as they inched closer to the magical flames of destruction. The Turbo Rangers
