Green With Evil: Power Rangers

Outbreak, pt.2

Neither Jacob nor Aubrey were in any position where they could catch a break back at the prison. It's bad enough that Putties were still on the scene despite many of them quickly dispersing away from the scene but the Blue Ranger had yet to slow down as far as speed and momentum were concerned and that meant trouble for both of them. They were very unlucky in escaping Billy's eyesight.

Given they were already two floors above him, that just made things worse. Having already leaped up to their level and sprinting at a frantically fast pace, danger never felt this bloodcurdlingly swift and especially with the Blue Ranger not in the mood for any distractions. It was the equivalent of every children's nightmare: running for the hills at the sight of an unknown entity chasing after you with your life stuck in either your hands or his; the kind of entity that resembles a power far beyond human comprehension.

Aubrey and Jacob were absolutely terrified. It was the exact opposite of what Billy wanted.

"FREEZE means STOP! Hey!", Billy is left bellowing out once more through the now dormant prison complex with inmates now cleaning house, making way for the Blue Ranger as he dashes right on through.

Yelling did him no favors. All it did was further block his path with more trapped and crowded inmates unable to escape the compound, foolishly thinking they can take him. A blazing 1.5 tons of force bombards them and knocks them off balance as Billy blazes past them: the weight of your average everyday car. They were lucky to only receive the fair minimum of what he could do.

It hardly made him feel any better, however. And then came more another inmate from an open cell tackling him to the edge of the ramp. Then another one from behind.

More and more inmates happened to formulate out of thin air to keep the Blue Ranger at bay; much to Aubrey and Jacob's amusement and relief. The brief little distraction barely stalled him long enough to give them room to stay ahead. And just in time too, for out of the corner of Aubrey's eye, the Yellow Ranger was now headed their direction, packing the same superhuman strain of speed and durability needed just to catch them.

Now their hearts were skipping over about three beats. They knew, right here and there, that they needed to bail quickly. Luckily, their miracle arrived a measly nine feet away from them: one out of many creviced holes left by the Putties made easy escape routes for any prisoner that happened to be so lucky to come across it. A line was almost in-midst of forming with inmates groaning, yelling, and dog-piling over each other, desperate to grasp ahold of any sliver of a chance to retain their freedom. The only difference was they were waiting.

Jacob and Aubrey were not.

"After you, Aubrey!", Jacob's quick to alarm his younger sister before they both dash to the hole. The collapsing pile of crumbling inmates was a collapsing timetable for the two, one they barely managed to scale in time.

Aubrey crawled up along the backs of the inmates, barely maintaining balance as she fought the urge to slip and using the inmates' clothes to her advantage. Crawling and crawling to the end of the wall, she makes her way on through with Jacob not too far behind.....only for the Blue and Yellow Ranger to rattle their attention again and pick up the pace. Jacob, frantic about not being left behind, barely gets half of his body over the wall and slithers the rest of himself out with his sister.

His lack of care and coordination ruptured the entire pile of inmates up against the hole. Not that it bothered both Rangers, though......least of all Billy.

"Trin, get these guys!"

Leaping over everyone else, he's over and out of the hole and back to the outside, still fresh and hot on the twins' trail to the far left. Bewildered and stupefied by Billy's actions, it left Trini flustered and wide open.
