Breath of Fresh Air
"The Power Rangers have finally been assembled, their Zords gathered, and the planet safeguarded." Mar'Zek kicked up his feet as he drummed his claws against the sides of his chair, while his wolf cronies types and pounded away at the consoles and otherworldly keyboards on the bridge. "While I am only very slightly angry that they took Preda'Tor, this makes the whole hunt a hundred times more interesting." He smirked, a grin forming on his face. "Resistance in any form is fun; for I always love to see them desperately fighting back before my claws slash their limbs from their bodies."
"He hasn't felt like this for a long time." Vi'Al stood next to Siel'Viz and patted her shoulder. "The captain does enjoy a good scrap every now and again."
"It's in a wolf's nature to enjoy a hunt that's challenging. Even I must attest to that." Siel'Viz stepped forward to the captain and patted his shoulder. "To see them writhing and panicking, fumbling around with their firearms and melee weapons before it all comes crashing down around them, it's just ADORABLE."
"It is also in a wolf's nature to soften them up with attacks from the lessers before the alpha deals the finishing blow, Siel'Viz." Mar'Zek petted her chin. "And it is not just us that could use some exercise. All of the wolves in the fleet need to make sure they experience combat every now and again, so they don't get rusty."
"Then who should we send, master?" Vi'Al was the last to approach the wolf captain. "There are many loyal warriors in the Wolfpack army to choose from, and they only need your approval."
Mar'Zek sat back up and pushed a button underneath the end of the right-hand side of his chair. Within seconds, a holographic sphere consumed him, and the world he could see began to transform into a digital scape. Screens popped up one after the other, showing off many creatures of all shapes and sizes on them, as well as how they fought against simulations of enemies.
"I need something strong to start out with, to choke the rangers into submission for the other wolves to feed on..." He tapped his claws against his chin, and scratched it tenderly, repeating the words in his head over and over again. "Choke... Of course!" Mar'Zek grabbed a picture and threw it to the side, causing all of the others to spin like a centrifuge of colours. He drove his nails through one of the picture and enlargened it, showing off a wolf with a radioactivity symbol across his chestplate, and a small filter mask over his muzzle. He had a large pair of tanks on his back with a pipe flowing from them into a small gun. "Ahn'Taier! Perfect!"
A small button appeared beneath the screen, and once it was tapped, the digital bubble Mar'Zek was in popped. The remnants flowed hastily and reformed in-front of him, creating a holographic projection of Ahn'Taier from the video footage. It flickered and pulsated with light, but it remained stable nonetheless.
"You called, captain?" Ahn'Taier bowed before Mar'Zek, the pack on his back almost blotting him out.
"I want you to go down to earth and spread your poison wherever you go. Fill the lungs of everyone you meet with your airless toxins and watch as they struggle to survive." Mar'Zek cracked his neck and drove his claws against the edges of his seat. "Then, when everyone is gasping for breath, the Power Rangers will arrive. Make sure they never have fresh air ever again."
"Understood. By the time I'm done with them, they'll make skunks and old cheeses smell tolerable." Ahn'Taier stood up and tightened his grip on the gun. "You have my word, captain!" The hologram disappeared, and surveillance footage showed up of Ahn'Taier entering a pod before it was loaded up into a mechanism.
"Meteor Cannon loaded, aim!" Mar'Zek swung his left arm out, which brought up yet another screen for him. It showed off planet earth, as well as an aiming reticle. He pinched the picture and pushed his fingers out, zooming in on Canterlot. "Target marked. Fire!"
And the second he finished talking, a loud rumble rang out through the ship as the pod was shot out towards the planet, hurtling at speeds beyond compare. As it got smaller and smaller, Mar'Zek reclined in his throne and tapped one final button, transforming the windshield into a large screen which showed Ahn'Taier in his pod.
"Power Rangers, let this be known that we of the Wolfpack mean business." Mar'Zek flashed another smile as he laid his arms down. "Ahn'Taier's poisons are unmatched, and no matter what kind of odor resistant suits you drape yourself in, it will still find a way into your bodies. Say goodbye to that precious little luxury you call oxygen!"
At Canterlot High, the Rainbooms all gathered together and waltzed down the halls, their belts painted to look bland and normal so that nobody would pay them any attention; or discover their secret identities. With books and bags either on them or in their hands, they had a busy day of lessons ahead of them.
“Man. If I ever have to do another one of those science lessons, I think I’m gonna barf.” Rainbow stuck out her tongue and watched as Pinkie Pie slammed a paper bag into her mouth. “Not right now, Pinkie. But thanks anyway...” She took the bag and slipped it into her own.
“I agree, Rainbow Dash.” Rarity grimaced and shuddered, looking into her own bag. “It’s nice to see where humanity got its’ roots, but it’s just a little bit too... drawn out for my liking.”
"Mmhmm." The other girls murmured to themselves as they turned the corner and went towards the cafeteria.
"Hey, you think we'll have to do other superhero things now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Y'know, like foiling robberies, saving cats, rescuing people from tricky situations, those kinda things? I don't just want every one of our ranger duties to be just tearing down the Wolfpack."
"Rainbow Dash, a hero answers all calls." Rarity pinched Rainbow's cheeks and put a hand around her belt buckle. "I'm sure that there'll be more things for us to do outside of battle. Plus, I always was a fan of the Super Gems when I was a little girl, so this is my childhood fantasy come to life."
"I thought your childhood fantasy was to become the best fashion designer the world has ever seen." Applejack just lowered her brows and crossed her arms.
"One of my childhood fantasies, Applejack. I'm allowed to have more than one, aren't I?" Rarity just scoffed and put her hands to her hips.
"Whatever the case, we should probably eat up." Sunset went into the cafeteria and headed towards the counters. "You never know. Hunger can strike even the most powerful of heroes." She winked.
Elaris was in her ship, examining all of the damage that she'd taken on her arrival. Panels were dangling out of the walls, wires were hanging from the ceiling, and some of the frames around the doors had been buckled under the strain of the escape. As she went over to feel one of the walls, sparks burst out of it, causing her to jump and land on her back. Moaning in her hands, she got back up, knowing that she had a long job ahead of her.
"If there are metals here that can fix my ship up, the rangers are going to have to find a LOT of them," she said to herself. "They might not be as durable and eye-catching as the ones back on my home, but they'll have to do. At least until I can get it properly fixed."
Suddenly, her screen burst into life, as a single word message appeared with Twilight's face beside it. It read "Hi, Elaris? How's it going?"
"What...?" Elaris slowly hobbled forward towards the message and watched as an ellipse appeared beneath it, followed by another message.
"Since you gave us those SIM cards to talk to us, I thought I could message you back as well. Don't want all of our talks to be about the fate of the world and how the bad guys are making another attack." The next message appeared. "Anyway, you should be able to talk back to us if you use the keypads on your ship. Go on. Give it a try."
Elaris went over to the pilot's seat, pulled two pads by her side together, and swiped down on the combined pad. It transformed into a hard-light projection earth keyboard, with the keys lighting up as she tapped on them. She looked up and saw a little box appear underneath Twilight's message, with a single line at the end of it. As she typed in more letters, a message of her own began to appear before her.
"Like this?" The message read. She tried to send it, but couldn't find a button anywhere that indicated a send protocol. Then, her eyes turned to the edge of the keyboard and saw the enter key begin to glow green. Pressing on it, the message shifted up and appeared in a blue box.
"Yeah. Now you're getting it." Twilight's new message popped up underneath the one Elaris sent. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
As Elaris typed her next message, she heard an alarm go off inside her ship and red lights coated the room. The wall of text messages vanished, and in its' place, the Wolfpack pod with Ahn'Taier in it ferociously crashed into the fountain at the park, causing everyone to scream and run away from the impact site.
"Guess that'll have to wait for another day..." Elaris said to herself as she transformed the keyboard into yet another screen and pushed a hexagon icon with seven dots, each coloured to the Rainbooms and their ranger outfits. "It's time to fight, girls."
Everyone was gathered around the cafeteria table with food on their trays. Rainbow Dash and Applejack had sloppy joes, Pinkie's was full of fruit and yogurt, Rarity and Fluttershy had finely-prepared salads, and Sunset and Twilight both had pots of mac and cheese.
"Dig in, everyone," said Sunset as the Rainbooms reached out for their food.
As their hands got inches from the pots, bowls, and buns, all of their phones went off at the same time. Vibrating viciously as a small, metallic noise played on it.
"Aww man..." Rainbow groaned as she pulled out her phone with the others.
"What is it, Elaris?" Twilight asked, being the first to look at her without the feeling of despair and disappointment over not being able to eat lunch.
"A Wolfpack agent just landed at the park, and the people are already starting to run from it," Elaris said as the screen transformed to show Ahn'Taier spraying poisonous streams of gas as people. "You'd better get over there right away, before they do something terrible."
"Do we HAVE to?" Rainbow moaned, turning the camera towards the sloppy joe on her plate. "And we were just about to eat as well. By the time we kick his butt, lunch will be over, and we'll all be starving!"
"If you don't stop the Wolfpack, you'll never eat lunch in this town again! Now get to it, girls!" Elaris lowered her brows. "Twilight, on me. Sunset and the others, morph up and take this poisonous wolf down."
"Plus, it's always good to do some exercise every now and again, Rainbow Dash." Rarity slipped her phone back into her pocket. "But Elaris is right. Save the world first, eat later."
"Sorry, my little sweetheart. Looks like mommy's not gonna be able to eat you today." Rainbow Dash looked down at her sloppy joe, giving it a small pat on the side. "Maybe some other day." Her arms drooped down and swung limply.
"Cheer up, Rainbow Dash. I'll be sure to whip ya up something mighty special with Granny Smith and the other apples once we stop this guy." Applejack slung an arm around Rainbow's shoulders. "For now, though, we'd better get over there and morph up."
"Yeah. Come on, girls." Sunset stood up and charged out of the cafeteria, with the other Rainbooms behind her. As they ran out of the school and ran down the road, Twilight immediately broke off and headed down another sidewalk towards Elaris's ship.
"Equestrian Stars! Shine Bright and Let's Fight!" The Rainbooms called out as they pressed the buttons on their belts, causing the crystals to radiate a brilliant flash of light that enveloped the girls.
As the Rainbooms ran through the city, a corridor of twinkling stars surrounded in spacial matter surrounded them. Each of the Rainbooms' tunnels was coloured like their ranger outfits were as they ran. Tiny shooting star showers rained down on their legs, with each one turning into a piece of their armour as the falling stars ran up their legs and arms, before pelting their chests and backs. A larger star hurtled towards their face and hit them head-on, transforming into their helmet pieces. Comets flew along side them before overtaking the Rainbooms and colliding in front of their faces. They reached into the lights and pulled out their weapons from it before finally breaking back into the real world.
"Equestrian Star Rangers!" The Rainbooms called out as they came back to reality and ran towards the park.
"Are you feeling light-headed? Woozy? You should be!" Ahn'Taier growled as he aimed his twin pistols and fired more toxic air from them. It slammed into the fleeing humans and caused them to fall to the ground, coughing and spluttering as they tried to hold on to whatever air they had left in them. "As long as my toxin lingers within your body, the air you breathe will slowly kill you. So I hope you know how to hold your breaths!"
"Good thing we don't need to breathe!"
Ahn'Taier turned to see the Rangers run into the park and stand before him. Swords, lasers, flute, hammer, mini air-blasters and all.
"So. You're the ones who hunted down Preda'Tor, are you?" Ahn'Taier asked, pointing his guns at both of them. "Well, you're lucky that he was defunct as opposed to the rest of us." He clicked his fingers, and smaller pods with less impact smashed into the ground in front of him. Hounds; the grunts of the Wolfpack, burst them apart and barked viciously as they stood in front of the Rangers. "Hounds! Choke whatever air they have left so that I can fill it with my gas!"
The grunts moved in, and the Rainbooms readied their weapons before charging in. All except Fluttershy, who still hung on the back and played the flute by herself, the spectral animals bursting out of it acting as both her attacks and her defense.
"Come on!" Rainbow Dash ran through the minions and combined blaster fire with a series of kicks and flips. She even ran into a wolf and vaulted off of it, so she could backflip and launch another volley at the dazed soldiers. "Heh. Just like the last batch; all bark and no bite." As she looked away, a Wolfpack Hound leapt onto her back and tried to bite at her neck, the slobber dribbling all over her as she tried to shake it off.
"Get outta here, ya mutt!" Applejack ran over and swang her hammer like a baseball bat, smashing the wolf who was trying to eat Rainbow Dash into a group of others. As they all tumbled like bowling pins, Applejack leapt up and drove her weapon into the ground around them. "Terra Hammer!" The cracks ripped open and spewed rocks, puncturing and piercing the wolves and turning them into walking swiss cheese.
"Honestly, must it always come down to violence like this?" Rarity just stood on the spot and swung her blades in the directions of her incoming attackers, ducking and jumping whenever an attack came hurling her way. "You wolves have no tact." Clapping her swords together, she brought the hilt to the part of her neckpiece.
The blades began to glow, and Rarity used the ends of them to trace shapes around the wolves. "Diamond Breaker Blades!" Whenever she finished circling a wolf with the traces, she thrust her swords forward through the center, trapping the wolves in thick crystal deposits. Once all of her wolves were encased, she brought the swords to her side, like a samurai waiting to strike its' foe. As reinforcements rushed to break the trapped wolves out of their crystal prison, she quickly drew her swords again, chopping the crystals in half. The resulting slash not only severed the wolves inside, but also struck the ones that were still moving. All of them, however, exploded in a bedazzling array of explosions.
"Uh, girls?" Pinkie Pie bounced and ducked under her wolves, still trying to shoot the mini party cannons at them. "Have you noticed that this is a lot more wolves than usual?"
As if to further add to Pinkie's observation, another set of Hounds came crashing down from the skies above. Again, cocooned in metal pods that broke to pieces with only the slightest bit of force. It seemed like after one wave was defeated, another just took its' place.
"This is taking forever..." Sunset groaned and swung her fire sword at the wolves on her side of the battlefield. Each incendiary slash ignited their fur and cooked them to a crisp, but more were there to meet her blows with melee attacks of their own. "At this rate, we'll be worn out by the time we get rid of them."
"That's the point, isn't it?" Ahn'Taier grinned to himself behind the gas mask he was wearing as he brandished his guns at the girls. "This is a method Captain Mar'Zek likes to call the Chokehold. The Hounds hold the line, and I choke you all."
"Then we just need to get these wolves away. But how?" Rainbow Dash asked as she felt the horde moving in on her. She had fired off so many rounds that her blaster barrels were on the verge of overheating. "We don't have the power to take them all down at once, do we?"
"Hmm..." Sunset leapt backwards and watched the Rainbooms all fighting. With Rainbow Dash's guns, Applejack's hammer, Rarity's twin swords, Fluttershy's flute, and Pinkie's mini-cannons, as well as her own fire sword, a thought came into her mind. "Girls, I've just had the craziest idea, but we should form a hexagon around these wolves."
"What's the plan, Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked before being thrown to the ground by another hound.
"We need to form a hexagon pattern around the wolves. It's a bit of a weird idea, but I'm going to try and get us to combine our geode magic with the weapons we've got to perform a combination attack. Kind of like if we trap the wolves in a pen and take them out before they can escape." Sunset had to jump over another pair of Hounds as she explained, before striking them in the back to create another pair of fireballs.
"Ah got ya! Let's see if this works..." Applejack tapped on the neckpiece where her geode would be, causing her hammer to glow. The large, drum-like head split out and contorted into a line of solid steel squares, which transformed into a bulky wall large enough to conceal Applejack behind. "Come and get some, wolves!" Using her new wall as a battering ram, Applejack ran into the wolves and mowed through them with ease.
"Let me help out with that." Tapping her own emblazoned geode part of her neck, Rarity conjured up a series of diamond-shaped barriers that pushed the wolves away from her and stumbled them long enough for the other rangers to corral them into the hexagon.
"My turn!" Rainbow Dash hit her geode piece next and ran at lightspeed around the wolves. Zipping through them, all that she left was a blur as she made tiny strikes on the bodies of the Hounds. She kept this up until Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Pinkie were all in position, before she finished up the hexagonal formation.
"Equestrian Star Aurora!" The Rainbooms all called out, all pressing their geode pieces together as they drove their weapons into the ground. The result caused a bright ring of light with six seals appearing under the girls' feet to appear. The wolves inside were completely ensnared by the magical ring, and as they tried to claw their way out or attack the Rainbooms, their swipes and slashes merely bounced off and hit them back. "Rainbow Lights!" They held their arms out palm-up, then raised them high in unison, forming a colossal pillar of rainbow-coloured energy to consume the Hounds, making them all disintegrate as they cried out in anguish.
"What?!" Ahn'Taier watched as the attack finally fizzled down, leaving nothing but the Rainbooms in its' wake. "No-one has ever been able to stop the Chokehold before!"
"Then maybe that's because they weren't a very good team, like us." Rainbow Dash smirked as she picked up her blasters, as the other girls did their weapons. "Now, are you gonna roll over and run away to your master, or are we gonna have to do this the hard way?"
"The hard way is the ONLY WAY when you serve Captain Mar'Zek. It's either complete the mission or die." Ahn'Taier snarled as he adjusted the knobs on the tops of his guns, to change the amount of toxin loaded into them. "But really, it applies more to you than me. Because I never lose. And you're about to see why!"

I appreciate the irony in the title, Shadow. But one piece of advice really, you're not limited to Sentai Stock Footage, you can pull off whatever it is you want here, you don't have to have the main villain stay up in his ship or lair or whatever like most of 'em do, he could easily come down anytime he wants and trounce the Rangers a few times just to show his power.

actually, there is no Orange Ranger in the stock footage of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, which is slated to become the new Beast Morphers, the core team consists of:
Red Buster
Blue Buster
Yellow Buster
Stag Buster (gold)
Beet Buster (silver)
though, admittedly, Stag Buster and Beet Buster come later to the team in the series. the only official Orange Ranger that i know in Sentai comes from a series that likely wont be adapted to American audiences, due to the lack of trains being a large part of that culture as they r in Japan, so i very much doubt that Resha Sentai ToQger and ToQ6Go will ever be seen
I am so glad I have this in my favs. this is so fun.

I aim to correct you on that. There is actually two more Orange Rangers after ToQgers. One, Zyouh Bird from Zyoughers or however you spell that damn name.
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerrangers/images/a/a5/Zyuoh-Bird.png/revision/latest?cb=20161120210455
Two, Sasori Orange from Kyurangers.
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerrangers/images/8/89/Sasori_Orange.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20170312025124
Neither seems likely to be adapted into American footage I admit, but...
9012075
i was not familiar with those two Sentai, but u r correct...
I’m really starting to like the Wolfspack
Who needs teleporters anyway when you have a canon that shoots your underlings to their destination
Didn’t you already do this?
You say that to the sport freak in your group
Or, weren’t Power Rangers, that could also be the reason
9012075
I loved both those series.
9065649
How do they get back up, though?
So...the justification for why the bad guys are just sending one MOTW and a few mooks down at a time instead of hitting them with everything they've got is because they want to draw things out for the fun of it? I'd complain, but that's more or less the motivation for the Dethgaliens in Zyuohgers, one of the nastiest bunch of Sentai villains in recent memory, given they have no big overarching goal or ambition other than wipe out all life on a planet as part of a sick game, so I can accept it.
