Chapter 5 Weapons

"Rangers, We need to show these guys the door." Ash said. And as one the Rangers charged the Dopels that surrounded them.

You're the fighter you've got the fire

The spirit of a warrior, the champion's heart

You fight for your life because the fighter never quits

Ash was the first one to meet up with the Dopels. He caught the first one with a jump kick. As he landed he spun around and caught three more in with a back heel kick.

You make the most of the hand you're dealt

Because the quitter never wins

No!

Brock dodged the punch of the first Dopel he came to and caught him with a short clothesline that would have taken him out of his boots had he been wearing any. He then picked him up and spun around throwing him into 3 more Dopels.

You were born to box in a city that's seen their share

Mello, Ryan, Carney, among them your photo proudly hangs there

Above the bar in the Gaelic Club

May dropped low to avoid the first Dopel that came at her and swept his feet out from under him. She caught the next one with an uppercut. As she back flipped away from the on coming Dopels she kicked two more.

They tell the story of a throwback

With the heart of a lion

They salute your glory

Four of the Dopels surrounded Richie. He nailed the one behind him with an elbow as he pulled back to punch the one in front of him. He turned an got the third one with an stiff jab. He used that momentum to catch the last one with a back kick.

It's another murderous right

Another left hook from hell

A bloody war on the boardwalk

And the kid from Lowell rises to the bell

Misty had dropped into a roll and went right past the Dopels. Coming up she caught one with spin kick from behind. She then grabbed two more by the tops of their heads and slammed them together. Then on reflex she reached back and grabbed for her mallet. Almost instantly she realized it shouldn't be there. But as she started to pull her hand away she felt it brush up against what felt like a handle. She grasped t and what she pulled out was an ornate mallet with fine Gyarados design inlaid in the handle. She stared at it for a split second before she swung it full force in the last standing Dopel sending him flying. "Hey guys these suits come with weapons."

"Yes they do Misty." A voice inside her helmet responded.

"Professor?"

"Rangers, listen up. Not only do the spirits provide your uniforms, they enhance your natural skills and provide you with means to defend the earth. Ash, as you saw earlier has the Charizard saber & Misty has the Gyarados hammer. The rest of you have your own accessories, just reach behind your back and you will find a weapon that suits your personality and the spirits inclination." The Professor tells them over the speakers in their helmet.

Brock reached back and pulled out a black quarterstaff with a silver Onix relief down the side. May pulled out a double headed axe with a Beautifly etched on each of the blades. Richie pulled out a bow that had a Jolteon on each side of the handle, it also appeared to have no strings. He pulled where the string should have been and saw a strand of energy pull back and an energy arrow appeared in his hand.

Micky

It's a warrior's code

Micky

He's got the warrior's soul

Micky

It's a warrior's code

Micky

He's got the warrior's soul

They looked at their weapons for a second and then turned to face Chops.

Chops had not been sitting by twiddling his thumbs while this was happening. He now stood by the door wearing his trench. "Yous may think I'm a dummy but I know dat discretion is da betta part of valor and it's better ta run and fight another day. But I'm not gonna leave yas empty handed. Dopels attack!"

At that two dozen Dopels rose from the floor and separated the Rangers from Chops as he was heading out the door. Richie managed to get one shot off at him before the Dopels reached them but it hit the door as Chops went through it. By the time the Rangers fought their way through the Dopels and made it out side Chops was gone.

"Rangers, prepare for transport."

And in a flash of rainbow colored light they were gone.

The song used in the fight sequence is "Warriors Code" by Dropkick Murphy, I don't own and only use it in deep respect for both the song and the artists. I fully encourage my readers to check it out.
