"A Gaseous Return"
by DinoBot
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture.
Leo and Kendrix are walking down the street, hand in hand. They are on a date and enjoying themselves.
Leo: This makes a change, being able to have a date, monster-free, with my girlfriend.
Kendrix: This is so enjoyable, so watch some monster go and foul it up as...
A scream cuts Kendrix off in mid-sentence, she looks up and sees a cloud of noxious gas drifting up from one of the drains, they watch as the gas begins to take on the form of Venomina. This monster resembles ToxoViper, but it is distinctly feminine. She is wearing black military style boots and a set of purple combat pants that are coloured in different shades of purple. She is wearing a long purple coat that whips around her ankles. She is wearing a purple uniform top that resembles the uniform Drax wears. A flat triangle-shaped hole is cut in the uniform to show off some of her cleavage. Her hands are covered in purple leather gloves and attached to her wrists are clear tubes, with a purple liquid coursing through them. The tubes weave the sleeves of her coat. Her mouth is covered by a scarf, which is coloured in different shades of purple, leaving the rest of her face exposed. She has long purple hair which is tied back in a pony tail.
Venomina: This place.... it has his scent
Terrified citizens run in fear at the sight of the female monster.
Kendrix: Isn't it time you did your hero thing?
Leo: I'll be right back.
As the crowds of people run out of Venomina's way, Leo slips down a side street and out of sight. As Venomina advances towards a group of children trying to escape, several energy blasts slam into her.
Venomina: WHO DARES ATTACK ME!
She whirls around sees Blue Lion Ranger running towards her.
Blue Lion Force Ranger: You monsters are always SO predictable; you can set a watch by your predictability.
He looks at the female monster and fold his arms.
Blue Lion Force Ranger: Are you going to make this difficult for yourself?
Venomina: I am looking for someone, either help me or you will fall before me..."
She extends her hoses and whips them at Blue Lion Force Ranger, they wrap around him and she whips him into a building then retracts her hoses.
Venomina: I will locate him myself, woe betide anyone who tries to stop me....
Venomina teleports away in a burst of sickly pink energy.
Setting: Unknown - Starship Bridge
FireStorm and RaptorCon are sat at the helm. On the view screen is a tactical display of a massive starship. Various parts are flashing red, signalling that they are heavily damaged
RaptorCon: Computer, scan and catalogue the arts I salvaged from the moon...
Computer: Scanning....
There is silence for a few moments as the computer obeys the command it was given.
Computer: Scan complete
FireStorm: Do we have enough parts to repair the Lion Star?
Computer: Yes, the parts are present
RaptorCon: good, begin repairs immediately...
Computer: Beginning repairs, estimated time to completion, 7 days
RaptorCon sits back in the chair and puts his feet on the helm console.
RaptorCon: Now we can relax.....
Suddenly, the alarms begin blaring loudly. The view screen flickers and changes images, it now displays a view of downtown Terra Venture. Then it changes and shows a rocky outcropping of rocks, then the high command building.
FireStorm: What the SLAG is going on?
RaptorCon: The computer is trying to locate a monster, but as fast as it does, the monster teleports away.....
Setting: Somewhere on Miranoi
Venomina teleports in and walks over to the rocky outcropping of rocks, she looks at them and bends over and sniffs one.
Venomina: His scent is here, but it is fading fast......
She extends her wrist hoses to the rocks and a light purple mist flows out and around the rocks, and for a brief moment, we see ToxoViper sitting there. She retracts the hoses and teleports away.
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
Venomina teleports in to one end of the street, with the four remaining Lion Force Rangers standing at the other end
Yellow Lion Force Ranger: Make this easy on yourself and just LEAVE
ToxoViper: I am looking for ToxoViper, take me to him or DIE......
The Rangers look at each other, then Pink Lion Force Ranger steps forward and speaks gently.
Pink Lion Force Ranger: I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but ToxoViper is dead, he died a few days ago, defending the colony from.....
Venomina(Angry): LIAR
She charges at the Rangers, using her hoses as whips. Blue Lion Force Ranger flips away, and in mid flip, he activates his thrusters and flies towards Venomina and grabs the female monster and carries her high above the city.
Blue Lion Force Ranger: Going down?
He drops Venomina and watches as the monster plummets down.
Venomina:(Unintelligible Roar)
Venomina slams into the road, explosions erupt all around her.
Blue Lion force Ranger: That should have finished her off
Blue Lion Force descends down slightly, getting a better view of the explosions.
Black Lion Force Ranger: Any time...
ToxoViper jumps up out of the crater and lands a few feet away from Psycho Red.
Yellow Lion Force Ranger: ... now.
Venomina: Your lies will not stop me, ToxoViper would NEVER give his life for this DUMP OF A PLANET
Blue Lion Force Ranger: We're telling you the truth
Venomina(Shouting): LIES, LIES IT'S ALL LIES
she sprays a purple mist towards the Rangers, but a breeze causes the mist to drift towards a car, the mist absorbs into the almost new car, which suddenly begins to rust, it eventually crumbles away into dust.
Venomina: I will destroy the entire colony, then the ENTIRE SLAGGIN PLANET UNTIL YOU GIVE ME TOXOVIPER
Venomina whirls around and sprays a jet of green mist at the other Rangers, who try to dodge it. The gas solidifies into four balls of gas that seeks out the Rangers. They try to dodges them, but it is no good, the gas hits them.
Venomina: You have one day to give me ToxoViper then you will DIE
The female snake monster teleports away. There's an explosion of electrical activity as the gas eats through their armour, then their armour de-materialise and they appear back in civilian clothes. The gas begins to slowly choke the Rangers, who begin grasping for air and soon, the pass out.
Setting: - Unknown - Medical Quarters
The four Rangers are laid out on four BioBeds, each of them is hooked up to a life support monitors.
RaptorCon: Venomina's poison has soaked into their entire bodies, the only way to heal them is to get her to undo the damage
FireStorm: I didn't know there were any other monster like FireStorm around
RaptorCon: Me either, but what ever she is, we have to get her to heal
FireStorm: Yeah, she'll do that...... NOT
RaptorCon: If we show her proof that ToxoViper died with honour, she might help us
FireStorm: Yeah, she might, and we might also find Jimmy Hofa's body buried under the Quasar Stone and Lord Lucan living on Triforia
RaptorCon: Sarcasm doesn’t suit you, on the other hand, it suits me VERY well
FireStorm: How the SLAG are we gonna catch her, she teleports around faster than Cerina Vincent gets her clothes off in a teen comedy spoof
RaptorCon: Who?
FireStorm strums his fingers on the console as he tries to think of a way to get Venomina.
FireStorm: I HAVE IT, let's go......
He teleports out
RaptorCon: Do I have to go, I'm HUNGRY
RaptorCon picks up a side of beef from a console, and as he is about to take a bite of it, FireStorm's arm re-appears and grabs RaptorCon by the tail, then it and RaptorCon teleport out. The side of beef drops to the floor. A few seconds later, RaptorCon's arm re-appears and grabs the side of beef, then teleports out.
Setting: Somewhere On Miranoi
Venomina is sat on a rocky outcropping of rocks, over looking Terra Venture.
Venomina: Could the Rangers be telling the truth..... no, he would NEVER sacrifice himself, unless..... ICELOUSE.....
At the mention of his name, a cold wind blows around Venomina, the wind sound vaguely like Icelouse roar. Something rustling in the bushes behind her gets his attention. She whirls around and is ready to destroy who ever has crept up on her. The rustling stops as a lone young girl clutching a teddy bear steps out of the bushes. The girl is no more than 5 years old.
Venomina: Hasn't your mother ever told you NEVER to talk to strangers, and especially MONSTERS.....
Young Girl: Can you help me? I'm lost
Venomina stares at he young girl for a few moments.
Venomina: I'm a monster, I don't help kids....
Venomina turns away and returns to staring at the city. The little girl walk up to Venomina and tugs at her boot.
Venomina: Oh what do you want you rabid rodent?
The girl holds her teddy bear towards her.
Young Girl: You're sad.... hugging teddy always makes me happy....
Venomina takes the tatty teddy bear from the young girl and looks at it, then runs her fingers through it's tatty and matted fur.
Setting: Venomina's Flashback
We see Signea's capitol city, just before the invasion by Darkonda's forces. A young girl, who's holding a baby, it's the same girl we saw in the last episode. She kneels down and hands a stuffed animal to a small child in a pram-like device.
END FLASHBACK
Setting: Somewhere On Miranoi
Venomina looks at the little girl and hands her the teddy bear back.
Venomina: Ok kid, let's go find your parents
Venomina takes the girl by the hand and they head off towards Terra Venture.
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
Venomina walks hand in hand with the girl down the street, people don't know weather to run or what to do.
Venomina: Do you see your mother around here?
The girl looks around, and points to a woman, running towards them.
Young girl: MOMMY....
Venomina lets go of her hand and watches as he girl runs towards her mother. The mother hugs the young girl, then looks at Venomina. The mother then walks up to Venomina as FireStorm and RaptorCon teleport in. RaptorCon is still eating the side of beef
Mother: Thank you
Venomina: It was nothing.....
the young girl walks up to Venomina and hands her the teddy bear.
Young Girl: You can keep teddy, to make you smile when you're sad....
The young girl walks back to her mother and waves as they walk away. Venomina waves back at them. After they have gone, she turns to face RaptorCon and FireStorm.
Venomina: I will heal the Rangers for you
RaptorCon: What's with the sudden change of heart?
Venomina: I remembered what is was like to be a child, and have loved ones and friends die.....
Setting: - Unknown - Medical Quarters
RaptorCon: You do realise that this makes you a good guy
Venomina: I am NOT a guy
FireStorm: Ok, so this makes you a good GIRL.....
Venomina walks up to the Rangers and looks at them. She then extends her hoses and sprays the Rangers with a fine purple mist. She retracts her hoses, stands back and watches as the Rangers slowly come around.
THE END
