Power Rangers Omega Force (Season 2) - Power Rangers Club Only (PG-13)

[Fallen Hero]

Caoimhin now rushed through the entrance of the base but slowed down to a walk so he didn't alert 'Joe' if his suspicions were correct. Caoimhin clamly walked past the medical bay, noticing Joe's body standing there in the room. Caoimhin turned and walked into the medical bay. "I'm glad you're alive, young Joseph. I thought I failed to protect you from the Genesis Blade's corruption but it seems you are more stronger than I first thought."

Caoimhin sensed something wasn't right with Joe but he had to play along like he had no clue what was controlling Joe's body. Fight the wielder of the Genesis Blade was one thing but fighting the full power of the weapon is a whole new challenge...one which Caoimhin was trying to avoid right now...It could destroy the base if they thought right here and now, endangering many lives in doing so, as well as Joe's body which the Genesis Blade could use as some kind of hostage to protect itself.

[galesonic]

Brandon ran towards the medical bay, But not before getting a small sized blaster from the emergency kit in Zedren's office. He then looked at Caoimhin and the Genesis Blade possessed Joe. "Joe? Its good to see that you're alive again!" he cheered, trying to play an act. "It seems like almost a miracle. First you had no life signs at all. Now you at you all healthy and all." he then walked towards Caoimhin with a nervous chuckle. 'Got a plan?' he whispered, hoping that the new Joe didn't hear him. 'I have a bit of firepower with me, but I don't think it would phase him at all.'

[Fallen Hero]

Caoimhin just looked at Brandon, a hint of fear was in his eyes. "Firstly...put away that blaster before this causes a fight to escalate in this base or even the city itself. We would be endangering innocent civilians doing something foolish like that." Caoimhin whispered to him, hoping 'Joe' didn't here anything. "Secondly, we should teleport him and us to somewhere safely away from Earth if you do want to challenge it. Quietly contact Zedren to teleport us to another planet if it's possible...one without life on it."

[DNovaKnight]

The spirit still faced the empty wall. He thought to himself 'No fun at all. He backed off without even a tussle. Now where's the fun in that.' He then noticed the other, 'but I'll deal with him later. I have new ways to entertain myself. now then, should I play along ... or just cause some commotion now.' He turned to face the group and put a big smile on his face, "Hey guys, what's up? Sorry bout the scare there. Guess it was like a near death thing or something. "

 

At this point, Zedren walked in and saw that Legion was gone, but Joe was standing fine. The Blade was no where in sight and he had a happier than usual look on his face. It looked like a feigned goodness, mixed with a pleasant curiosity. Zedren was good at reading mannerism, it was one of his traits that made him so dangerous as Lord Zed. He stepped forward and pretended to welcome Joe. "Joe." He had to keep it natural. "So good to see you my friend."

[Fallen Hero]

"How do you feel now that you've absorbed the Genesis Blade? Bet you feel strong enough to take on the Tetrarchs now." Caoimhin spoke calmly to 'Joe' while trying to sense any signs of the real Joe inside the body. "Guess Brandon here will also want to do some blood tests on you. Hope you don't mind that?"

[galesonic]

Brandon put down the blaster, seeing it was a false alarm. "Guess it was just an encounter. Nothing really bad." he said as he went through the medical kits and took out some syringes to check for blood as well as putting a relaxant to put him to ease down his muscles in order to be able to work again as soon as one day. He took the blood taking syringe and slowly took out some blood. He then injected the relaxant, which almost instantly as it hit the body softened the amr muscle it was injected to. "Okay. I'll send this to Diabolico and we'll see how much damage your vital systems have taken." he then dropped it down a shute, which lead to Zedren's office.

[DNovaKnight]

'Joe' was at first a little nervous when the blood was taken, but all seemed okay at the moment. 'Guess it's good I haven't fully assimilated yet.' He then turned towards Caoimhin, "Tetrarchs? Oh yah, totally. But i do feel a little rusty. Anyone feel up to a little sparing match?"

 

Meanwhile, Ecliptor received the blood sample and ran a quick analysis. It would usually take about several hours for a full analysis, but it was done almost instantaneously. He looked at the results. Everything came out -incomplete-. It also noted that, 'Human gene degradation". He had no idea what this meant so he sent it to Diabolico.

 

-------

 

Back on the beach, Diabolico received the results and the meesgae from Ecliptor. He was shocked at what he saw. A part of him was happy ... but the other 99% of him was scared.

 

--------

 

Back at the base, Ecliptor received Diabolico's answer. He was half screaming. If anyone was on the beach near Diabolico they would of heard him. "Ecliptor, the human degradation means that his human cells are being either killed off or blocked. Like ... if you were to take blood from Lord Zed ... his blood would appear the same. We know him as Zedren, but it seems this blood sample is being blocked as well."

 

There was a moment of silence, then Diabolico finished "Based on these results, and what I've heard about the blade ... I have a hypothesis. You have to check his heart rate. That's the only way to know for sure."

 

-------

 

Back in the medical bay, Joe took a step forward, "So come on guys. Let's get a bit to eat and then have a little round or two." Just as he finished speaking, something inside him seemed off. 'What the hell' he thought, but then relaxed. 'It really has been some time. Almost didn't recognize it. Was it always soo strange ... or is this human shell just making it worse?' He had a noticeable grossed out look on his face.

[Fallen Hero]

"Are you ok, young Joseph?" asked Caoimhin and stepped forward to him. "Maybe a sparring match isn't such a good idea right now. You have only just woke up from surviving what was meant to be a fatal incident. I'll spar against you another day." Caoimhin moved 'Joe' over to the medical bed. "You sit down and rest for now then see how you are tomorrow."

[DNovaKnight]

"I'm okay." He said. He didn't like the idea of waiting. This was starting to bore him. 'Joe' thought quickly. "Well let's at least go for a run. I wanna stretch my legs. Or food .... yah food. Let's grab a bite." He was starting to sound like an eager young child. After all the commotion, he suddenly realized he was shirtless and had shorts on. His tattoo's were exposed. Did these people notice the difference. Were they onto him. 'Curiouser and curiouser' he thought

[Fallen Hero]

"Fine...we can go and get something to eat if you want...just put some clothes on first." Caoimhin said with a smile on his face. Caoimhin could see the tattoos on Joe's body but decided to pretend not noticing them for now till they can establish how much of a threat he can be to everyone. What did seem surprising to Caoimhin was how child-like the Genesis blade's personality was...is it some plan it has to lower their guard or was it because without being able to manifest itself inside another living being's body it has never been able to develop it's own mature consciousness.

[The Warden]

Legion appeared in Izabel's room, to see if she was still on the floor. 'I'm sorry about that' he spologized. 'But at the time it seemed appropriate; I know you wanted to spend a little bit more time with him, but a battle zone was not the place for you' he said. 'I don't recommend for you to check your mirror, it would only hurt more' he added and left.

 

He reappeared (again) in the medical ward, he was leaning on the wall and his arms folded. 'Are you all normally this dense? Do you really need some divine floating head to tell you anything of importance that seems to escape you?' he inquired.

[DNovaKnight]

Izabel looked confused. She started to get up towards the mirror, until Auric stood in front of her. "Auric advises we listen to him this once." she was still upset and sad, so she didn't put up much of a struggle. Auric then thought to himself, 'Something is ... off. What's going on back there auric wonders.'

 

---------

 

Back in the medical bay, Zedren took a step back, as did Ecliptor. "Wonderful" They said in unison.

 

'Joe' immediately perked up. "Smokey guy is back." He actually seemed pleasantly surprised to see him and began disregarding the others. He lept up on the table and sat crouched like a dog awaiting a treat. "What's up Smokey?"

[The Warden]

'Fine, how are you parasite?' he replied back. His was focused solely on the Spirit,, not taking his eyes off him. 'Are you doing this for Vile? Since the Spirit being around greatly hampers his plans, or, are yu doing this for her?' broodwing inquired. 'I'm doing this, because it is the right thing to do by everyone. This creature should not exist and I will make sure of it Broodwing, there will be no price to pay for my actions' he replied.

[Fallen Hero]

"Smokey...this is not the time or place for you to appear and cause some disturbance for us all." Caoimhin spoke sternly to Legion. "If you want to chat then at least leave this room and I will talk to you about the current situation about our possible enemy." Caoimhin's eyes slightly shifted their attention to 'Joe' as he said the last two words. Legion should be smart enough to know what he was talking about, hopefully the Genesis Blade wasn't so deceptively intelligent.

[DNovaKnight]

'Joe' giggled at the fact that his new nickname for this guy was catching on. He then tilted his head at Legion. "Parasite? ... that kinda hurt." He stared at the ceiling "Come on guys, I'm board. Let's go get something to eat?" He then turned to the group, "Is there anywhere in this place that a guy can get some food." He then turned his attention back on Legion. "Don't worry Smokey, I'll be with you in one .... AHHHH" He then fell off the table with a horrific sound. He landed onto his neck and upper back. His legs still stayed leaning on the table, while his arms were thrown wildly. One on the ground, the other in the air. He was still conscious, but had that creeped out look on his face again.

 

"There it goes again." He said out loud this time

[Fallen Hero]

"I swear to Zeus, something isn't right with you young Joseph. You sure you didn't hit your head on something hard before you fell unconscious from the Genesis Blade's corruption?" Caoimhin asked 'Joe' as he walked over to him and helped him back up on his feet. "Might as well go and get some food now...young Joseph is probably weak from starvation. Smokey can join us as well if he wants to?"

[The Warden]

Legion sorted loudly. 'If I needed to eat I would have already eaten the girl and her guardian' Legion replied. The annoying nickname was getting on his nerves. 'And stop calling me Smokey. Its just annoying and childish' he said with restrained frustration. 'Not a bad name, Smokey. I think I'll call you that form now on son' broodwing said. 'Shut up Broodwing, now is not the time for this when the fate of a lot of things is in the balance'.

[Fallen Hero]

"How are Izabel and Auric while we are on the subject?" Caoimhin asked Legion. "I hope you are treating them well in whatever you've trapped them in. Or have you left Izabel to slowly die instead?" Caoimhin began to wonder if the Genesis Blade would remember them through Joe's memories. "We are still having no luck finding Deos so just keep them alive for a little while longer."

[DNovaKnight]

'Joe' looked over at Caoimihn. He was starting to like him. He seemed fun also. He then remember he didn't know any of their names yet. He hadn't fully assimilated yet. "Yah, maybe I hit my head. Like ... who are you all again? I guess I got like a minor amnesia or something."

 

He then looked over at Legion, "Izabel? Hmmm ... was that the cute girl that was in here before." He then sat up and crossed his legs again. He titled his head upwards in a cocky manner and said "You should really invite her back. No offense, but she was a lot more fun to look at that you." He then laughed hysterically. It was a kinda funny joke, but 'Joe' laughed way more than he should have. Obviously he was either VERY egotistical ... or VERY immature. Or both.

[Fallen Hero]

"You must of hit your head hard to not remember Izabel" Caoimhin commented to 'Joe'. He was beginning to wonder if there was nothing they could do to bring back Joe. Plus, the Genesis Blade doesn't seem to hold the memories of it's victim, seeing as it doesn't remember Izabel is, or was, Joe's girlfriend. "Anyway...say goodbye to Smokey, young Joseph, we're gonna get something to eat now." Caoimhin said cheerfully to 'Joe', like he was talking to a young child.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

"Wait a minute!" yelled Sean, appearing from the dark corner of the room. He actually never left the room, but merely hid just as Legion first enter the room. "Maybe you didn't hit your head at all. Besides, this isn't how you act, Joe. You never say that Izabel is 'hot' or 'sexy'. This isn't the Joe I remember." He then began to walk around 'Joe' very slowly. "Now, I'd like to ask a few questions: 1. Why are you having this cocky attitude? 2. How is it you can't remember us when you never hit your head? And 3. Why do you have those tattoos on you when they weren't there before?" Sean needed answers, and this could be his only chance.

[DNovaKnight]

'Joe' looked at Sean with a sly look and smirked. He then leaped across the room and landed on a stretcher on the other side of the room, with its back to the wall. He sat there perched like a wolf on a cliff. "Finally." He exclaimed joyously. He then focused on Sean. "You're a real no-nonsense kind of guy. You don't tip-toe around. I like that." He then looked at all of them. "You are all fun in your own ways. But I really was getting bored there."

 

He then focused back on Sean "To answer your question ... in order. One - cause I'm awesome. Two - Cause I'm personally meeting you all for the first time. And three - to be honest, these tattoo's aren't new. But the body is. So you really should be asking 'why do you have that body when you didn't have it before'". He then laughed again with his eyes closed, like he was snickering under his breath.

 

"But really ... thanks you soo much. That was painful. If I would of kept up that charade - i would of been bored out. Of. My. MIND." He rolled his eyes. He then focused on the others and smiled again.

[The Warden]

Legion snorted loudly. 'Finally, someone else decides to state the obvious. To think I thought that was my job' he said with heavy sarcasm. 'I honestly thought your powers of perception was lacking, but boy, did you all prove me wrong. Bah, enough of this; I would like to introduce you all to the Spirit of the Blade. He is currently taring away at th soul of your former comrade and assimilating him into his own conciousness. Spirit, allow me to introduce you to Lucas Zedren, he is the leader of Omega Force and your body's boss. That is Diabolico, some sort of backwater demon, no doubt you two will get along famously. That is Caoimhin, an acient protctor whose people was devoured by a faceless demon. And finally that is Sean, some loser' he said swiftly.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Sean hung his head in shame. "You really are pathetic." he said to 'Joe'. "We all know who you are. But I still have one more question: Why did you take over Joe's body? He had a strong will to overcome you and you treat it like it's nothing compared to your power. You know, I can honestly say that you are to blame for ever coming into existence those many millenia ago!" Sean wasn't playing around anymore. If he was going to get Joe back, he would have to take it out himself. "You've found your way into his body, and there's only one way out for you now!" Sean then turned to Caoimhin and Brandon. "You both just going to stand there or are we going to forcefully remove this spirit from Joe?"

[DNovaKnight]

Ecliptor returned from the control room in attempts to call Diabolico to return, but Diabolico had returned on his own. Ecliptor then shot off back to guard the blade, even though he was still weak from his encounter with Deos.

 

'Joe' looked at Sean "I didn't choose his body. He was good enough to wield the Blade, but not strong enough to contain its power. Yup ... that's right ... the Blade was once my weapon. But then got sealed in it. Long story - I'll go into it another time." He waved his hand as if it wasn't important. "But this body's will was strong. Thus why it didn't kill him." He then paused and assumed a thinking pose. "You ... this is the first time I've been able to possess someone without the Blade killing them first. That's where all his 'will' got him." He then laughed loudly, but then focused again.

 

He cracked his knuckles. "If I were you two" he motioned towards Caoimhin and Brandon, "I'd listen to him. I very much approve of his idea to fight me. I really am quite rusty."

 

'Joe' also looked at Legion and tilted his head. "Do you want to jump in too? By the way ... you didn't introduce yourself Smokey?" 'Joe' said with a playful grin.
