Power Rangers: Shaolin Force [IC][PG-13]

[RisingPhoenix]

Arely listened to Amber and nodded. She was right. In order to save Master Wei, they needed a starting point and Lebori would surely know where to start. How they’d get it to talk wasn’t clear, but they’d figure something out. They had to figure something out, it wasn’t a choice. If they were going to save Master Wei, and send the dark Emperor back to the shadows, they’d need to do something, and do it now. Arely swung his Dao to relieve it of the ooze that had accumulated on its edge. He looked over at Mike, the red ranger, and nodded as he followed behind. When they were outside, Arely saw the electric owl standing with his eyes sparking with electricity.

“So you’ve unlocked the secret of the statues! The Emperor will not be pleased, not one one one bit,” hooted Lebori as he summoned a trident, “not that it will matter, you you you still stand no chance!”

“We’ll see about that,” Arely stated as he held up his Dao, the blue blade shimmering.

Lebori glared at the multi-colored individuals before it and charged meeting Mike head on as the trident clashed against the dagger and Dao Mike possessed.

“I’ll skin you little man,” Lebori growled as he bounced back and swung the trident sending a shockwave of lightning towards the Rangers.

Amber quickly jumped to avoid Lebori's lightning attack and looked very closely at the bird upon landing. Part of her wanted to just jump right in and hack Lebori into submission, but after the surprise hit he'd landed on her before, she knew they would have to be more careful than that to beat him. It certainly didn't help that their swords were metal, but then what could they use instead?

Suki had also jumped and avoided the electric shockwave, but could not quite avoid the explosion as the shockwave collided with a nearby wall, briefly disrupting her stance as she landed. But as she recovered, she caught a glimpse of the bathroom, which was virtually untouched during the attack, and an idea began to form.

Following Suki's gaze, Amber also took notice of the bathroom. Everyone knew that electricity and water didn't mix at all, giving them now their best real hope of actually hurting this bird. Now it was just a matter of drawing his fire. Picking up a broken mirror shard from the floor, Amber threw it at Lebori to draw his attention and prepared to run for the bathroom once he focused on her.

Mike knew Lebori's electrical attacks wouldn't work on him. His dragon scales making him immune to the electical shock. An arc of lightning shot from Lebori. Arely, Amber and Suki all jumped out of the way to avoid it. Mike held up his sword as the bolt connected and travelled down it, passing harmlessly over his suit before going to ground. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Amber look towards the bathroom. She picked up a shard of broken glass and through it at Lebori. Mike figured with his immunity he'd buy her some time to act out whatever plan she was coming up with. Mike ran at Lebori. The owl beast knocked the shard out of the air easily enough. But Mike was able to land a kick while Lebori was distracted. "How about you try skinning me?"

"You'll pay for that." lebori charged up with more electricity.

"Yeah whatever." Mike pointed his sword at Lebori. "We gonna do this or not?" This time Lebori came at him. "Oh crap, guess we are. This is gonna be fun." Lebori swung and Mike blocked with his sword. It was going well, until Lebori picked Mike up and threw him aside. He hit the ground and rolled, picking himself quickly. Mike glanced at Amber to see if she was ready for her plan.

Arely watched the confrontation between Mike and Lebori. Mike was such a hot headed individual, and it only irritated Arely to know that Mike so easily underestimated his opponents. Why attempt to fight Lebori head on as if you could destroy him alone? Lebori would have to be stopped, but by the combined strength of everyone. Suki, Amber, Mike and Arely would have to work together to get the job done and not act solely on their own. When Arely realized what Amber’s plan was, he nodded in order to show that he agreed. He and Mike would distract Lebori and in turn Suki and Amber would work out the finer kinks of the plan. Lebori didn’t realize what was going on, all he knew was that he got to fight two rangers and potentially destroy them for Master Dáyé.

Lebori roared and charged at both Mike and Arely. Arely met the trident with the Dao and sparks flew. He looked over at Mike and nodded, informing him to keep his senses on alert and move with the quickness of a dragon. Arely kicked off from Lebori and twirled in the air before landing. He held up his Dao and kept his eye on Lebori.

“What’s wrong you giant turkey? Can’t land a hit?” Arely taunted before Lebori unleashed another wave of electrical current. Arely barely dodged, but had left himself open to Lebori and the owl creature quickly struck Arely’s side, causing sparks to shoot out from the area. Arely hit the ground hard, but quickly got back up holding his Dao.

“Double team?” Arely asked Mike ready for whatever was to happen.

[Lady Celeste]

Amber rolled her eyes, though it didn't show through her helmet. Whether Lebori was too distracted or simply not that gullible was hard to tell, but he was not going to make this easy on them. Taking an empty bottle of hand soap from the sink, Amber hurriedly opened the bottle and held it under the sink, where it filled up in a matter of seconds.

"Leave the sink running." She said quickly, before making a mad dash back to the training studio. Circling around Mike and Arely to get a clear shot at Lebori, Amber stopped directly behind the bird to try to splash the water onto the bird. Seeing this, Suki quickly understood the strategy and began to look for a container of her own.

[RisingPhoenix]

Lebori hooted loudly and was about to charge Arely and Mike when he saw Amber out of his peripheral vision. He smirked as only a giant electric owl like creature could and waited until she threw the water at him. With a loud hoot, Lebori dashed to the side and watched the water splash against the ground before it glared at Amber.

"Tri-tri-tricky," Lebori stated, "but I won't fall for it again."

Lebori charged at Amber, but was intercepted by Arely who slashed the creature, surprising Lebori and causing him to back pedal.

"BRING IT!" Arely shouted as he charged Lebori. This would be Amber and Suki's change to get more water and douse the electric bird.
