By

Furry Sith Lord

Movin in like lightning,

You never know what they're gonna throw at you,

Don't give up!

Just Stand Your Ground.

The Fight is Tough,

But We're Behind you...

Go, Go, Go, Go,

Power Fur Rangers,

Go, Go, Go, Go!!!

The group was busy setting up blankets at the local beach as they prepared to relax for the day. The guys wore swim trunks while the ladies had on their bikinis. Skyler and Lion had finished setting up their blankets and Skyler was grappling with Lion.

Skyler gripped Lion by his swim trunks and was trying to pick him up with no success. Lion just stood there a few moments then he grabbed Skyler by his trunks and tossed him easily over his shoulder.

"Hey! No fair!!!" Skyler whined as Lion led him to the ocean and dunked him in the water. Brian and Tom tried to help the ladies finish setting up. Brian was unpacking a picnic basket so that Terri could arrange the food. Meanwhile Tom was offering to help lay out Lisa's blanket and she was busy insulting him about what a loser he is.

In the distance Slash and Ghoul carried a large umbrella and overstuffed picnic basket and extra large blankets to lay on the beach. Terri groaned as she caught sight of them.

"Oh no, don't make eye contact." She cautioned.

"LIKE don't make what?! Lisa said as she looked around and caught sight of Slash and Ghoul. "Oh no..." she cried as Slash walked over to them after he saw her look at him.

"Hey nitwits, like looking at a real fur." Slah said and he rubbed his oversized belly as it hung over the front of his swim trunks. Ghoul stood behind him wearing a small speedo. as he tried not falling over as he held the umbrella. The girls made disgusting sounds as they rolled their eyes.

"It's a big beach, wouldn't you feel comfortable somewhere else?" Terri asked.

"Yeah LIKE away from us." Lisa added. Ghoul started laughing when a gust of wind blew open the umbrella and he fought to try to not get blown away.

"Hold on," Slash said as he dropped the food basket and grabbed Ghoul. Slash's weight was enough to stop his friend from blowing away.

"Thanks buddy." Slash said but suddenly a stronger gust of wind picked up as Slash and Ghoul were helplessly blown away while Lisa, Terri, Brian, and Tom laughed.

Inside The Evil Lair on the moon, The Evil army watches The Power Fur Rangers as they enjoy their day at the beach. Twisted Pink makes a sound of revulsion at their merriment.

"How can they be happy at that giant sand pit?" Twisted Pink asked.

"Maybe they like torture." Twisted Blaxck replied as he chuckled.

"Maybe... but it gives me a great idea for a new monster. I mean after all no one likes sand in your shorts." Shark-Finster said as he opened a special bag and took out a handful of sand and some of it spilled out of his grip.

"MonstrumArccesse Ktanos!" Shark-Finster chanted and then he tossed the sand into the air and it formed into a monster.

The monster had a body that appeared to be sculpted from sand and it wore a light blue pointed hat that the end dropped down on his head. It looked as if it's eyes were closed. and a large purple bag hung from a black belt it wore.

"Meet Sandy Mann! After meeting him the rangers will find it hard to ever sleep again." Shark-Finster chuckled.

"Hopefully it won't be another one of your failures." Twisted Pink said as Shark-Finster cringed.

"Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful," They all heard the voice of Gollip in the distance as he was approaching them.

"Quick send him to the planet before 'HE' arrives." Twisted Black said and they had no need for him to explain who he was talking about. The monster turned into a ball and flew down towards the planet.

"Do we have anything we can use as a distraction to keep The Power Fur Rangers busy while Sandy Mann gets ready?" Twisted Pink asked as Gollip entered the chamber.

Gollip entered with a sneer on his face and he scowled as he looked at the planet and saw The Power Fur Rangers at the beach.

"Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful." Gollip said.

"You there, Shark boy," The Winged Ape said as he pointed his sword at Shark-Finster.

"Shark-Finster," he corrected.

"Can you make us minions to keep The Power Fur Rangers busy?!" He shouted.

"Maybe we can use these toys I found." Shark-Finster as he took small plastic toy out of his pocket that were snake warriors dressed like toy soldiers.

"Do it!" Gollip ordered and Shark-Finster brought the toys to life and sent them towards the beach where The Power Fur Rangers were relaxing.

Terri was serving the food as they sat on the blankets and suddenly they saw several spheres crash into the sams and snake warriors, dressed like soldiers, emerged holding toy guns.

"Anyone around?" Lion asked as the group looked around to make sure they were along.

"We're clear." Tom said.

"Good," Lion replied and he motioned for the group to get ready to transform themselves into The Power Fur Rangers

"Powered By A Dragon!" Tom shouted.

"Shabot Ve Sum, Baby" The rest shouted as they crossed their paws in front of them making 'X' shapes then closed their eyes. They quickly opened their eyes as they extended their index and middle fingers as if they were unsheathing claws. They then clasped their paws together as if holding a ball of energy and motioned to pull their paws behind their backs.

"Power of The Green Power Fur Ranger." Tom Shouted.

"Power of The Black Power Fur Ranger." Zyler Shouted.

"Power of The Pink Power Fur Ranger." Lisa Shouted.

"Power of The Blue Power Fur Ranger." Brian shouted.

"Power of The Yellow Power Fur Ranger." Terri Shouted.

"Power of The Red Power Fur Ranger." Lion shouted. They then motioned as if they were throwing the energy like a fireball forward. The rings they wore transformed into a gray colored goo that quickly completely enveloped their bodies. The goo hardened and became their Power Fur Ranger outfits that looked as thin as spandex but stronger than the toughest steel. The helmets they wore had made blacked slots where the eyes were so they could see out of it. Their bodies seemed androgynous and the armor made it appear as if they made more muscle mass than they actually had. Tom had a silver vest that had gold dragons on it. The vest appeared as flimsy as a cloth material, the same as the outfit but in reality it was stronger than carbon steel.

"Be careful because those guns look real." The Red Power Fur Ranger ordered as they charged at the soldiers. Suddenly lazors were shot out of the toy guns and The Power Fur Rangers dodged to avoid the blasts.

"Oh, they're real alright." The Green Power Fur Ranger said and The Black Power Fur Ranger chuckled.

"I think you'll fit in nicely." The Black Power Fur Ranger said as he slapped The Green Power Fur Ranger on his back.

"LIKE as if." The Pink Power Fur Ranger said sourly. The Power Fur Rangers removed their fur weapons from invisible holders and charged at the soldier snake warriors. In the distance Sandy Mann watched the battle to get a feel for how The Power Fur Rangers attacked their opponents.

"So The Power Fur Rangers use more frontal attacks.... interesting. This gives me an idea on how to get them under my sleep magic. They'll be in Dreamland 30 seconds before they even know they're asleep." Gollip said to the silent monster as they watched The Power Fur Rangers together.

"I'll leave them to you but don't fail me or you'll find out what a real nightmare is." Gollip said as he traveled back to the moon base and sat on the throne of The Evil Emperor.

Creeping carefully Sandy Mann snuck up behind The Red Power Fur Ranger and took a pawful of magic sand out of his bag and sprinkled it on The Red Power Fur Ranger. He immediately changed back to his regular self and fell to the ground being sound asleep.

"Hey back off creep!" The Yellow Power Fur Ranger screamed as she saw what the monster did to Lion. She ran at him with her fur daggers ready to strike but two Soldier snake warriors ran in front to block her and held her as she struggled to get free.

Sandy Mann took another pawful of sand out of his bag and sprinkled it on The Yellow Power Fur Ranger. She transformed back to her regular self and Terri fell to the ground unconscious.

"No, no, no, no, that monster has the power to put The Power Fur Rangers to sleep!" Clank said as Zolton examined his personal monitor in the anti aging time sphere he sat in. A giant overhead projection of Zolton's face spoke to the robot as it was linked to Zolton.

"Clank, we must get the others out of there! Transport them back here immediately." Zolton ordered.

"Right away, Zolton." Clank said as he was busy importing the coordinates to teleport the remaining rangers to their secret lair. Zolton watched helplessly as Sandy Mann used his magic sand to make The Blue and Pink Power Fur Rangers to fall asleep after they changed back to their regular selves.

"Hurry Clank! The Green Power Fur Ranger is the only one left that is still awake!" Zolton said hoping the robot would hurry before the last Power Fur Ranger was captured.

"Guess it's just you and me but I won't go down so easily." The Green Power Fur Ranger said as he pointed his Fur Wakizashi at Sandy Mann while he held his Fur Flute Dagger raised behind him.

Sandy Mann reached down deep in his bag of magic sand but The Green Power Fur Ranger was transported away while the monster and the soldier snake warriors looked around in confusion.

Tom transformed back to his normal self as he stood before Zolton while Clank was busy checking on the others from the computer monitors.

"Are the others safe?" Tom asked.

"It seems the magic sand sprinkled on them has caused them to fall asleep and enter a dream world. There is no telling what they will face there but knowing the Evil Army it is sure to be nightmarish." Zolton explained.

"Is there a way to snap them out of it? Tom asked.

"No, no, no, no, I'm studying the spell but it will take time to see if it can be broken. It could be that only The Power Fur Rangers trapped inside of it can break the spell."

"Then we must put our trust in them." Zolton remarked.

Lion, Skyler, Brian, Lisa, and Terri suddenly woke and a strange feeling of disorientation filled their heads. Then just as quickly it vanished and everything felt perfectly normal.

"Like where are we?" Lisa asked. The group looked around and it looked like they stood in a vast desert as sand and rocks were all around.

In the distance a large school bus was speeding towards them as it kicked up clouds of dust behind it. The bus skidded and swerved as it neared them and they reacted defensively but the bus came to a complete stop and the door opened and Billy sat in the driver's seat.

"Come on! If we don't hurry we'll be late!" He shouted and the group climbed into the bus. They sat and realized that it was getting late as the bus sped off in the direction of Gold City.

"Oh my paws, I hate being late." Skyler said.

"What are we being late about?" Brian asked.

"That's a good question," Lion replied.

"Something doesn't feel right about all this." Terri said. The group began to look around nervously but before they could blink the bus had stopped and Brian opened the door. The group reluctantly got off and looked around in confusion.

When they saw that they were in the parking lot of the school the same sense that everything was normal returned to them.

"LIKE we have school today?" Lisa asked

"Yeah, that's why we don't want to be late." Skyler said.

"Hey nitwits! get out of the way!" Slash said as he was dressed in a preppy outfit as he carried his books to class.

"Yeah, we got a test to ace!" Ghoul replied. He looked like a model and he wore sunglasses. He had a strange cologne that smelled fantastic on him. Terri and Lisa's mouths dropped open as they stared at them.

"Damn Ghoul, always dressed so nice and getting all the girls." Brian remarked. He suddenly realized what he said and shook his head in disbelief. "Did I just say that?"

"Yeah, it's like Terri said. Something just doesn't feel right about all this. Weren't we on summer vacation? How did school suddenly start? We should have over a month before that happens." Lion said and the others suddenly realized that he was right.

"LIKE wait a minute, we were fighting a group of snake warriors, weren't we?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah and I saw a monster sprinkling something on Lion." Skyler said. The group turned to look at him as they fought to try and remember the battle. It took a few seconds then they realized that they were dreaming.

"Whatever that monster sprinkled on us sent us here to this dream world." Lion said.

"LIKE how do we wake up?" Lisa asked.

"Good question. Assuming we can wake up from it." Terri said.

"Tom isn't here so he must be working with Clank and Zolton. If anyone can find a way to break this spell it's them." Brian said.

"No offense to Tom but I'd feel better if you were out there instead of him, Brian." Lion said.

In another dimension where The Evil Emperor and Evil Empress are trapped they continue their trek to find the lost artifact that The Evil Emperor thinks will grant him the power to escape from this place.

He knows of the item's location because this is his home planet. Though he has been gone for a long time, he still knows the areas and all the dangers here.

"Are we there yet?" The Evil Empress whined as she was tired of walking.

"I have some friends nearby so I'm going to their place to get some food and rest. They may even help us in our quest to return to our palace." The Evil Emperor replied.

"How much longer till we get there?" She moaned.

"Not far just a few more miles and we'll arrive."

"Feels like a few more years." She said, They continued on and they saw a small settlement in the distance. When the got closer, annoyance rippled through The Evil Emperor because he saw smoke rising from the settlement.

"Looks like we are too late, guess we have to move on." The Evil Empress said and The Evil Emperor glared at her.

"Not until I know my friends are safe! We'll need their help." He replied. They continued on until they entered the settlement. The burning scent of smoke willed the air and several long pieces of wood lay scattered about as wisps of smoke flowed from their charred remains.

There were footprints scattered about and some showed places were some sort of battle had happened. It looked as if some of the stronger dwellers here at going into battle with the invaders while the weaker ran to escape. The Evil Emperor studied the footprints to see if he could tell who the invaders were. He easily identified them by their footprints.

"The crows attack this settlement. My friends tried creating a diversion so that their families could escape. Knowing the crows I doubt they got far before they were captured." The Evil Emperor explained.

"How do you know?" She asked.

"I was once a member of the crows gang before my brother and I left to build our army to take over the universe. The spell protecting this settlement must have been used up allowing the crows to see it and attack."

"But wouldn't your friends know that they are your friends?!" She asked.

"Yes and that's exactly why they did it. To punish me should I ever return and find out what they've done. Let's just say my brother and I did not leave on the best of terms with them." The Evil Emperor replied.

"So now what my husband?" She asked even though she was sure she knew the answer.

"We find them and make them pay! We'll use whatever was not taken and then we travel to the nearest camp to get my revenge!" He said and she sighed not wanting to get involved in a childish power struggle here.

Inside the secret base of The Power Fur Rangers, an alarm went off and Sandy Mann was seen entering the downtown area of Gold City. Species ran in terror and screamed as the soldier snake warriors went about terrorizing the species.

Tom watched helplessly all this on a monitor as Clank was reviewing data on the spell the rest were under.

"Shouldn't I be out there trying to stop them?" Tom pleaded with Zolton.

"This is an obvious try to try and lure you out. They are hoping to capture you like they did the others. With all 6 The Power Fur Rangers under their spell nothing can stop them from conquering the world." Zolton explained calmly.

"But what do we do? We can't leave all those species in danger." Tom said.

"Maybe he can buy time if he summons The Dragon Zord." Clank muttered as he returned to studying the spell.

"Any luck on freeing the others?" Tom asked.

"My analysis is that they only way to break the spell is for the others to break it themselves. The trouble is that I dunno how they can do it. We have to hope that they can figure it out on their own.

"Powered By A Dragon!" Tom shouted as he crossed his paws in front of him making 'X' shapes then closed his eyes. He quickly opened his eyes as he extended his index and middle fingers as if he was unsheathing claws. He then clasped his paws together as if holding a ball of energy and motioned to pull his paws behind his back.

"Power of The Green Power Fur Ranger." Tom Shouted.

He then motioned as if he was throwing the energy like a fireball forward. The ring he wore transformed into a gray colored goo that quickly completely enveloped his body. The goo hardened and became his Power Fur Ranger outfit that looked as thin as spandex but stronger than the toughest steel. The helmet he wore had blacked slots where the eyes were so he could see out of it. His body seemed androgynous and the armor made it appear as if he had more muscle mass than he actually had. He had a silver vest that had gold dragons on it. The vest appeared as flimsy as a cloth material, the same as the outfit but in reality it was stronger than carbon steel.

The Green Power Fur Ranger was transported to where Sandy Mann was attacking the city.

"Hey Beach-Brain! Think you can stop The Dragon Zord?!" He took out his Fur Flute Dagger and placed the tip towards the mouth portion of his helmet. The knowledge of how to play the flute filled his mind as if it was second nature to him.

He played an eerie haunting little tune that could be heard for miles around. The melody seemed to tell a sad tale and a call for help. When at last he was finished he heard the distant sound of something huge roaring in response.

In an old forgotten cave next to the ocean a pair of red glowing eyes opened and the dragon opened its wings as he flew out of the cave towards the source of the melody that was played. Its huge size adjusted itself and it decreased its size until it was twice the size of The Green Power Fur Ranger.

It coiled its long body like a corkscrew as he stood in front of The Green Power Fur Ranger. It was ghost-like being completely translucent. Staring at him with its glowing red eyes it jumped towards The Green Power Fur Ranger and entered him making him fall to the ground as it possessed his body.

The Green Power Fur Ranger cried out in pain as his body became metallic and he started to grow to the size of a skyscraper. He was transforming into The Green Dragon Zord and once the transformation was completed the darkened eyes quickly shone red then darkened again.

Gollop glared at the monster as he sat on The Evil Emperor's throne. He began to rage at it, losing the battle to The Power Fur Rangers.

"Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, Shark-Finster! Make your monster grow!!!" Gollip ordered.

"Rescare Tuam Potestum Ktanos!" Shark Finster chanted. The monster began to glow an eerie gray color and it began to increase in size. It grew until it was as big as a skyscraper.

The two faced each each other ready to battle.
