Copper Verdigris | Saban's Power Rangers

That's Gotta Hurt

"We've finally located Rita's power coin," Alpha 5 announced when the Rangers entered the ship.

"So... no training today?" Kim clarified, even as she took off her t-shirt in favor of a tank top.

"Field experience more like," Jason replied, "Where is it?"

"Well, it's currently entering the stratosphere, and headed for..." the AI paused for a moment, as if calculating the exact place, "Norwood Drive."

"Oh! I know where that is!" Billy exclaimed, "It's on my way here!"

"Let's go then," Trini shrugged, yellow armor creeping over her skin until only her face remained visible, "We want to get to it before anyone else, right?"

The other four nodded in a way that could only be described as eerily in sync, armor beginning to form over their own bodies. When all five were encased they started back towards where they'd come, not taking a moment before bending their knees and leaping up, into the water above and towards their new destination.

Norwood Drive did end up being on the way to Billy's house, only a few streets away in fact. Also, it was five in the afternoon, so it wasn't as if the Rangers had gone unnoticed, they had gone unfollowed though. Definitely a good thing considering what was about to crash down to Earth.

Bounding over one more set of houses, the Rangers landed, Kimberly being the first one to touch down on the pavement. The five of them started to look towards the sky when a squeak sounded behind them.

When they turned around they were faced with a girl with wide eyes, definitely younger than them, but not really little either.

"Uh, you haven't seen any glowing green coins fall from the sky have you?" Zack stuck out a hand in a familiar motion in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

"No," the brunette squeaked, a sound which was soon followed by a clattering from the other end of the house.

"Holy shit."

There was the new girl from detention, colored pencils scattered at her feet as she stared wide eyed at them as she gripped a sketchbook with white knuckles. She seemed to have dropped a bag of the pencils on her way down the driveway. Because of them. Shit.

"Have you seen a green coin?" Kimberly asked, her voice strained with faux calm.

"Uh guys," Billy interrupted, facing the opposite direction of the other four, "I think I see the coin."

A small glint in the distance was quickly speeding towards their location, "Guys!"

If it was even possible, detention girl's eyes got even wider, "What the fu-"

The coin slammed itself right in between her eyes, knocking her over with the force of it, "Oh shit," Zack raced over to her side, quickly followed by Jason and the rest.

"It didn't kill her right?" Kimberly fretted, leaning over to look at the girl, a bruise already forming on her forehead as the power coin slipped off her face and onto the concrete.

"Please tell me we didn't kill her," Billy added, nervousness prevalent in his voice, his hands twisting themselves in anxiety.

Jason, who'd leaned down to check her pulse, answered, "We didn't kill her. She's just passed out."

"Thank god," Kimberly's head hung back, allowing her to look at Trini, who was attempting to calm down the young girl who had originally spotted them.

"Your sister will be fine," Trini reassured the girl, "She'll probably just have a headache when she wakes up."

A second chapter! It was posted a while ago on AO3, and now it's here! I hope you all have a fantastic day and I'll see you all soon with another chapter!
