Operation: Tyranno Dunk

@ranger-legacy

Conner walked up to Mia's bedroom, "What are you two troublemakers getting up to?"

"Nothing," JJ replied timidly.

"Better not be," Conner said before he walked away.

After checking to make sure he was gone JJ reached under Mia's dresser and pulled out a poster board that he began to unroll. It read:

Operation: Tyranno Dunk

Objective: Figure out how we're gonna dump the pitcher of gatorade over Coach McKnight after we win the championship, even though he's so much taller than us.

Option 1: Trip Wire

Pros: Would be easy to conceal once we get it set up

Cons: Getting it set up is the problem, Coach is always on the field and even if he wasn't he has an uncanny ability to show up out of nowhere right behind us. High Risk.

Option 2: Three kids sitting on each other's shoulders

Pros: Would definitely give us the height we need.

Cons: Nobody wants to be on the bottom

Option 3: Recruit Principal Oliver (JJs Dad)

Pros: Legendary history of dunking on each other, he'd be happy to see it. Says he still owes Coach one for the Grape Jello Incident of '15.

Cons: Can't be fully trusted. Despite their rivalry, rumor persists that all fathers live by a "Dads before Brats" honor code. Risk of reverse pranking happening to us instead.

"There's gotta be something we can do," JJ said as he pored over the list, tapping his chin with a marker.

"Well, I can't outrun him," Mia mused. "We might be able to convince our moms to get in on the action. Mom does love a chance to get the best of Dad every so often, and when she does it, he loves it for some reason."

“Wait a minute,” JJ said, looking up as if a light bulb had just gone off above his head.

“I’m pretty sure my mom still has a staircase prop from one of her ballet recitals! I’m sure she’ll let us borrow it when we explain it’s for a good cause! So we get your mom to distract him, move in the staircase, and then splash!”

He fist pumped the air. “We got it!”

Earning His Wings (Part 1/?)

The other night the strangest thing happened: I somehow had both the time and the energy to write!

Background Context: Set after Cosmic Fury and Once & Always. Lord Zedd has escaped from Niberio and regularly attacks Angel Grove just like the old days. He’s also been in the process of resurrecting other villains. Tommy has since passed away. My JJ is canon divergent from the comic book version.

Extra context: I am mediocre at writing, especially intros/beginnings! :p

JJ delivered blow after blow to the training dummy down in the Dino Lab. This could be the day, he would have to be prepared, whether he felt like it or not. He glanced at the morpher on the desk, the Green Dragon power coin resting inside it. He had tried several times to morph with it since… since Dad had been gone. It had yet to work for him. His friend Minh had gone through something similar with her mother’s morpher, and she had told him how it didn’t work for her until she had wanted to morph for the right reasons.

“I just want to be able to protect my hometown now that he’s gone, what better reason could there be than that?” he had thought to himself. But alas the morpher still wouldn’t work for him. Still wouldn’t accept him.

“Obviously the problem is I’m not good enough to be a Power Ranger,” he thought to himself. It was a thought he had had many times throughout his life. Both of his parents were decorated heroes, he had always felt immense pressure to live up to their legacy, and always doubted if he could.

Mom was living back in Angel Grove, she still had to pinch hit for Kimberly on the Mighty Morphin’ team on occasion and the rest of the time Billy and Alpha 9 were always sending her on some other kind of Ranger mission. So JJ lived in the Reefside house all alone for the time being.

The other Rangers had made it clear they expected him to come join them as their new Green Ranger eventually. Jason was already telling the other Ranger teams about it with great pride. Billy was adamant that they would one day need the fire power of the Dragonzord. His mom could always sense his apprehension, but assured him he’d figure it out in time.

He sighed as he stopped hitting the bag. I don’t know, Mom, I don’t know.

His thoughts were interrupted by the blaring alarm on the monitor. He ran over and looked at the screen. There were Tyrannodrones all over Reefside Park. This was the day he had dreaded, Zedd must have brought back Mesogog.

JJ took a deep breath, grabbed the morpher of the table, and ran out of the lab.

@ranger-legacy random thought:

Little kids JJ and Mia singing “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” because he assumes he’s gonna be a Ranger as iconic as his Dad when he grows up lol

I’m too old to be a grandfather Connor

redtyrannoranger

“And I’m clearly way too young to be one. So we’re agreed, we split them up yes?”

fivetimesaranger

And how exactly do you loan to do that?

redtyrannoranger

“Idk, Ankle monitors?”

“Oh come on, it won’t be that bad. The kids could call you both Gramps. Or Papaw. I like Papaw for Dr. O. Or should I say father in law? Daddio?” Mia’s trolling hard.

@redtyrannoranger @fivetimesaranger

fivetimesaranger

I was thinking cages

“Pfft, like the raptors? There’s no more space down there.”

#yes cuz that’s the flaw in this plan jj

@fivetimesaranger

“Hey Dad! For father’s day I got you a new Alpha. We’re on Alpha 12 now I think? So obviously a robot is gonna be way better at my chores than me so I’m just gonna leave him to ut and be on my way. K thanks bye.”

fivetimesaranger

What’s your biggest regret?

I’m not sure there are a few

*coughs*ABANDONINGTHEDRAGONZORD*cough*

Oops, looks like Billie has fallen asleep facefirst in a pile of papers. Has she been working on inventions again? Shh.

JJ snuck into his Aunt Billie’s office and quietly removed one of the papers. He looked it over, let out a soft chuckle and snuck back out.

#i genuinely have no idea what he’s up to

inspired by @ranger-legacy

JJ: Hey Coach I, uh, like all those shirts you’ve made Mia. Do ya think I could get one that says ‘My Dad is lame’ or something?

Conner: *slowly grins* I knew this day would come. *opens his desk drawer to reveal a bunch of already made shirts* Do you want it in green, white or red?

@fivetimesaranger

“How come I have to do training, again? I’m not one of your super students.”

@fivetimesaranger

“I know you like the holidays and everything but for Easter do you really always have to hide REAL DINOSAUR EGGS!?”

fivetimesaranger

Yeah .... about that you were short one this year, I think it might have hatched....

“Great. If it eats my art project again I’m emancipating myself and moving to Hawaii.”

#fivetimesaranger #notice he said ‘again’ XD

@fivetimesaranger

“I know you like the holidays and everything but for Easter do you really always have to hide REAL DINOSAUR EGGS!?”

#you don’t have to reply lol #i just thought this is something tommy would do

“Coming soon to Netflix: a documentary about my dad called ‘Zord King: Monsters Madness and Mayhem,’

Episodes will include:

•Him singing “I Saw a (White) Tiger”

•An investigation into where the hell the Dragonzord is. Did he feed it to the raptor riders?

•All the pink rangers he conned into dating him

•Interviews with former friends and students about the dangerous situations he’s caused. Coach McKnight was really forthcoming with this.

•A look into what his reckless future holds

@fivetimesaranger

Don’t forget the interview with Carol Baskins about how she wanted the tigerzord to go to her big cat rescue

“That bitch Rita Repulsa!”

#there he found something to do lol

(from sonofthefalcon) “Daaaaaad, if we gotta be quarantined can’t I like have my own TV or something?

nope we have a great yard and acres of land , go out and enjoy the nice weather

“And do what, count the trees?” JJ whined.

Ranger Pie

(Inspired by my recent thread with @ranger-legacy :) )

“Alright boys and girls, step right up,” JJ said into the microphone. “Welcome to what will hopefully be the first annual Pies for People Petrified by Putties day. Every donation you make will go to benefit victims of all those monster attacks you hear about on the news.”

There was much applause from the crowd. The student body had really been looking forward to this. JJ hoped they had baked enough pies to meet demand.

“Of course, we couldn’t do this without our brave...volunteers,” JJ said with a wry smile. He and his friends had all more or less guilted each teacher into doing this. He gestured toward a bunch of curtains that had been set up in the gymnasium.

“First up we have our special guest, whom you may remember from the time he ground us all into hamburger onto the soccer field, it’s Coach Tate!” The first curtain fell to reveal Sky in a set of Styrofoam stocks borrowed from the drama club. If looks could kill this gym would have been a massacre. The students all laughed and cheered. There were also a bunch of people in uniform standing in the back corner of the gym who JJ assumed were Coach Tate’s old friends from the force. They were clapping and whistling louder than the rest.

“Next up, we have a man that takes pleasure in making fun of us, throwing and kicking things at us, and as most guys who try to flirt with his daughter know, has a knack for turning up at the worst possible moment, it’s our regular old Coach McKnight!”

The second curtain fell to reveal Conner, with one eyebrow arched, “Hey, what do you mean old!?” There was more applauding, especially from the jocks. Hiding in the back hoping not to be recognized JJ could see Coach’s wife and their friend Ethan, both laughing their asses off.

“And last but certainly not least, you call him Doctor, I call him Daddy, but today we can just call him creamed. It’s your principal, the guy responsible for setting your exam schedules, confiscating your toys, and lecturing you for hours on end. It’s Tommy. Friggin’. Oliver!”

The final curtain dropped to reveal Tommy and the student body just erupted into a deafening cheer. There were a bunch of people in colorful clothes sitting in the bleachers who got up for a standing ovation. JJ knew some of them personally while some were strange to him, but he knew they all had to be former Power Rangers.

“All right everyone, please make your way over to the table helmed by our lovely Mia,” he gestured over to his friend, who held up and displayed a cream pie like Vanna White. She dipped one finger in the filling and reached over and spread it on her father’s nose.

“Okay everybody, single file, you’ll all get a turn. One more thing, I know we’re charging $2 per pie but I’m making a special offer,” He leaned against Tommy’s stocks, “If Dr. O here is your intended target it’ll only cost you $1.50.” More applause.

“Hey, I’ll make you a deal,” Conner said, turning to look at Tommy, “I’ll kill your kid if you kill mine.”

“I don’t know, I was looking forward to getting him myself,” Tommy smirked.

“You gents will have to hurry,” Sky chipped in, “I told my team to bring bodybags.”

To make a long story short, the event was a big, profitable, sweet, messy, success.

#fanfiction #ranger-legacy #to tommy's chagrin they'd get pressured to do this again next year #there was probably some revenge of the dads afterward tho lmao

Dad Troubles

@ranger-legacy (spinning off from where we were, if you want)

“Please tell me your dad is back for practice today,” JJ said as he walked towards his limping friend. “I signed up to play soccer, not real life Mortal Kombat.”

@sonofthefalcon

“I hope so,” Mia groaned. “Coach Tate pushed me way too hard with the speed, and afterwards I had a pizza party with a kid I babysit for. Dad doesn’t entirely get it, and if I hadn’t been so tired, I would’ve screamed at him.” She made a face. “I still hurt, but at least I can move.”

“I get what you mean, I tried to talk to my Dad about it and he just said ‘There’s never a bad time to practice karate!’” JJ said, imitating Tommy’s voice.

“Gah, don’t you just sometimes feel like you have 300 power ranger dads?”

Mia groaned. “I wonder if dads stop getting it a certain age, seriously. And there is a bad time to practice karate. What if you’re in a china shop? That’s a really bad time.”

“And yes, yes I do. I swear if it’s Coach Tate again I’ll-oh no! It’s him! We’re doomed.”

“Quick, I’ll distract him, you run and get help. Preferably the entire National Guard.”

Mia couldn’t help laughing. “Or I could just scream at him-oh crap, he’s coming!” She’s just going to stand in front of JJ protectively like Tate is some sort of monster their dads told them about.

“Easy there,” Sky said, holding up his hands in mock surrender. “It came to my attention that maybe I was a little too hard on you guys yesterday-”

“A little? You do that again and I swear you’re gonna get a soccer ball to the face, pal!”

“You sound like Charlie.” Sky was laughing. “It’s going to be just a normal practice today, I promise.”

JJ squinted his eyes, “That’s exactly what somebody planning another surprise torture session would say! Why are you even here again?” He turned to Mia, “How many days did it take your parents to get married?”

“Save yourself! Tell my mom I love her, tell my dad he’s an idiot-huh?” Mia looked from JJ to Coach Tate. “Just one, but they did take a long honeymoon.”

“No torture, I promise. Turns out Mia has a friend who knows one of my superiors, who reminded me in her own way that I went overboard again. I’m sorry.”

“That’s it? ‘Sorry?’ Look at how pathetically Mia’s walking. Look at this!” he pulled up his sleeve to reveal a tiny, already mostly healed over bruise, “And all you have to say is ‘sorry?’”

“Yeah about that, I kind of forgot that this was just a soccer camp and not ranger boot camp. And you know that’s hardly a bruise at all right?” He’s grinning at JJ. “But trust me, Charlie told me the same thing, only in words I can’t repeat. So instead, everyone’s going to be showing me their best moves, and then I’m having pizza delivered. Sound good?”

“It’s not poisoned is it?” Mia was skeptical. “And I swear if you mention me speeding anywhere, you’re getting that soccer ball where the sun don’t shine.”

JJ couldn’t help but smile back, just a tiny bit. “Look there’s one way I can think of that you could earn our trust.” He turned to look at Mia, “We need one more teacher to sign up to get pie’d in the face for charity, right?

“Hey yeah we do,” Mia said, grinning. “And you know, if you invite your friends we’ll make a lot more money.”

“Oh come on you’ve got to be kidding,” Sky grumbled.

“I could have AJ call your superior again,” Mia said cheerfully.

“Fine, fine,” Sky grumped. “I’ll do it.”

“Cool! Well, see ya at practice Coach,” JJ gave Sky a quick pat on the stomach before walking away.

Once they had rounded the corner and were out of sight he collapsed backwards, leaning back against the wall as if his legs were made of jelly. “I can’t believe we just pulled that off,” he exhaled deeply.
