FOLGORE RANGERS ROLL CALL

[Darros]

Obligatory "Curse you, Horita!"

[Shin]

Now's that's the kind of bumping we need! Fellow rangers! I need your support in the Nuzlocke! Refa-5 is too incompetent to win, so it's up to me to defeat Horita!

[a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes]

I shall help you Red!

I give thee the following advice!

Harness the power of your worse enemy!

tl; dr Use Rattata because Raticate and Super/Hyper fangs are hax

[CT075]

Curse you, Horace!

[Sunwoo]

Curse you, Horace!

O_o Why are YOU cursing Horace?

[CT075]

because he stole my fe4 record!

yes that was a long time ago SHUT UP I HAVE TIME TRAVELLING POWERS

[Sunwoo]

Everyone seems to want to curse Horace. It's like the new pastime of SF.

[General Horace]

what did i even do

to be victimized by such horrible people

[eclipse]

what did i even do

to be victimized by such horrible people

You look good in shades.

[a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes]

You made my dear Narball lose an argument :< I have no idea why others curse other than obvious you are too good in fe.

[General Horace]

so if i don't wear sunglasses and get 400 turns in sacred stones life will be good?

[a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes]

No but people wwould lack reasons to curse you

[General Horace]

You're right

But i'm afraid i am too attached to my shades and being better than shin to evade cursing

[Sunwoo]

The others quickly spun around when they heard Imp shriek, not knowing what to expect, and were met with a rather bizarre scene. A goblin monster with a bear's head was hugging Imp from behind, having taken her by surprise. Words failed the other Folgores, as they simply stared at the two.

Shin was the first to come to his senses. Producing a Relieve staff from out of thin air, he whacked the creature over the head -- the force of the blow making it drop Imp. "Bad monster!" Shin yelled.

"Are you all right, Imp?" Boron asked, as she and the rest of the team came out of their stupor.

"Kind of dizzy," she replied, being helped up by Darros and Green. "I don't feel so well ..."

Banzai studied the monster critically. "It was lying in wait for us from an advantageous location," he said. "Incredible use of tactics."

"What ... is that?" Darros had a wary look on his face.

By this point, Camdar had managed to unstuck himself from the bush and he was standing quite a bit away from the six. "That would be the end of you foolish Folgores!" he sneered. "He is the evilest of all monsters ... Mr. Lightlisneeze! He shall drain you of your powers!"

"I like to hug stuff!" Lightlisneeze declared. "Won't you let me hug you?"

"So ... it's a creeper?" Green asked. The others simply stared at him with dry expressions.

"Well, that explains why I feel so exhausted," Imp muttered.

Shin healed her with his Relieve staff, then pointed it at Lightlisneeze dramatically. "Not if I have anything to say about it! We won't let such an evil being run afoul! Folgore Rangers, let's stop that thing!"

"Ha, this shouldn't be too hard ... after all, it's six against one," Darros said, purposely excluding the incompetent and too-far-away-from-them Camdar.

"He's going down," Harpoon agreed.

"Hey, wait ... where'd he go?" Boron asked.

The Folgores glanced around -- only to realize that while they had been talking, Lightlisneeze had somehow managed to disappear. They let out a collective groan.

"This is quite annoying," Banzai complained. "He could have traveled in any direction."

"Curse you, Lightlisneeze!" Shin shook his fist in the air. "Be on your guards, everyone --"

Just then, the monster in question popped out from seemingly out of nowhere and grabbed both Harpoon and Boron in a bear hug. They let out a yelp as they felt their strength leaving them. Darros threw a rock at him, then proceeded to run for it as Lightlisneeze came running with arms outstretched. Banzai pulled out a blond bespectacled teen, held over his head and poised to throw him. He then did a double take.

"What on Earth? Who is this?" he demanded.

"I'm Canada," the teen whined.

"That's Canada," Imp spoke up at the same time. "You know, from the anime Hetalia?"

"Anime is stupid," Banzai scoffed, making Hetalia Canada vanish and summoning the actual country of Canada. "Ah, that's more like it."

"How in the -- is that Canada?!" Shin demanded, even as his attempts to reach Harpoon and Boron continued to fail. "And how are you holding up a country over your head without being crushed?!"

"It's because I'm a geography major," he replied coolly. Banzai then dropped the country on Lightlisneeze.

"Nooooo, not Canada!" Darros howled.

(Meanwhile, up in the Buttlair, Horita was watching the battle through his crystal ball. "Noooo, not Canada!" he shouted. "How dare you do that to Canada! You will pay for that, Banzai!")

[Freohr Datia]

W...... Wh.....

What happened to poor Canada? ;~;

[Sunwoo]

W...... Wh.....

What happened to poor Canada? ;~;

I don't know, actually, but I suppose he went to that place where objects disappear to when they have no more use.

[Freohr Datia]

Oh I meant the country x3

I haven't read much anime ;~; So idk what Hetalia even is!

[Sunwoo]

Oh I meant the country x3

I haven't read much anime ;~; So idk what Hetalia even is!

Oh, the actual country? Well, nothing, I suppose. After Banzai somehow picked it up and dropped it on Lightlisneeze, it mysteriously went back to its geographic location, as if nothing had happened. (Well, aside from a minor 3.5 earthquake across the country.) I still have no idea how Banzai picked it up in the first place.

[General Horace]

I like how I actually never do anything hahahaha

[Sunwoo]

The funny thing is that I went back and looked at all of the FR stories that we wrote ... and we very rarely do anything either. If there is any on-foot fighting, it's usually not described in detail and/or glossed over. Most battles take place with everyone in the Folgorezord, and that's pretty much it. So it's not just you, Horace.

[General Horace]

I like to think the reason is if I fight the folgores would end

[a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes]

I still find the lack of Shoptimus in the lore disturbing.

[Sunwoo]

And ... I'm done! Finally finished a story.

Lightlisneeze lay on the ground, squashed flat like a pancake due to Banzai dropping an entire country on him. (How Banzai had managed to not crush himself and anyone else around him as well, he will not tell.) Shin took the opportunity to run to his fallen comrades and begin healing them. Suddenly, Lightlisneeze peeled himself off the ground and regained his normal form, then launched himself at Banzai and hugged him.

"Be my friend!" Lightlisneeze exclaimed.

"Oh, jeez, human contact." Banzai freaked. "I am not a loli!"

Darros blinked. "Bad images," he muttered. "Bad, BAD images."

Shin looked up from his staffing, groaning out loud when he saw Lightlisneeze assaulting another one of his Folgores. "Not again," he complained. "Curse you, Lightlisneeze."

"Don't worry, I got this!" a freshly healed Harpoon said, jumping to his feet. He raised his left arm in the air, and a random anvil-shaped object came falling from the sky. It struck Lightlisneeze on the head, knocking him to the ground and making him stop hugging Banzai, who of course avoided being hit.

"That was pretty lucky," Boron remarked, as Shin went over to heal Banzai.

"No kidding," Harpoon agreed. "I was just going to point at him menacingly. Oh, well! Such is the power of luck for you!" Boron shoved him.

"This really isn't working," Imp said, as she and Darros rejoined Boron and Harpoon. "We need another strategy."

"Well, do you have any other plans?" Darros asked.

Imp thought for a second, then smiled. "Actually, I have one. You guys distract him! I'll be back in a minute or so. Can you hold out for that long?"

"Hurry back," Boron told her. Imp nodded and retreated. "Okay, so are we all good?"

"I'm a geography major, I'll be fine," Banzai said, although he sounded rather miffed.

"Curse you all, stop getting drain-hugged!" Shin demanded. "I'm running out of charges on my staff. I can only keep you all healed for so long."

"Don't worry, Imp's got a plan!" Darros replied. "Let's just hope we can distract him long enough until then --"

"He's coming this way!" Harpoon interrupted, flailing his arms madly and accidentally whacking Shin in the stomach. The Folgores' self-proclaimed leader stumbled back and landed on a conveniently placed wooden beam, making a can of paint precariously balanced on the other end of the beam fly through the air and land on Lightlisneeze's head.

"Power of dumb luck really comes in handy," Darros said.

"Yeah ... just keep him away from me," Shin growled, getting back to his feet.

"Come on, guys, we have to keep him distracted!" Boron reminded them.

"Hey, Lightlisneeze, go hug that cactus!" Harpoon shouted, pointing at a random cactus plant behind the monster.

Somehow, even with a bucket of paint over his head, Lightlisneeze seemed to know in which direction Harpoon was pointing in ("I would know, of course, because I'm a geography major," Banzai proclaimed. "I do not know why he does, though.") and hugged the cactus. "Owowow," it whined, drawing back with thorns sticking out of him.

It was at that moment that Imp came running back -- with something clutched under her arm. "Okay, guys, I got it," she boasted. "The perfect weapon to stop him!"

"Well, don't just stand there, us it!" Shin yelled.

"Right." Imp turned to face Lightlisneeze, who was struggling to get the can of paint off his head, the object hidden out of sight behind her back. "Oh, Lightlisneeze! Catch!"

The object went flying through the air, just as Lightlisneeze pulled the can off his head. His eyes widened when he saw the thing that Imp had thrown at him, and he scrambled to catch it. He lay on the ground, cuddling the object that Imp had brought -- a Nino plush doll.

"I figured that he would stop trying to drain us if he had something else he wanted to hug more," she explained.

Meanwhile, from quite a distance away, Camdar had been watching the entire battle. He was repeatedly banging his head against a tree, furious as can be. "I -- knew -- that -- good -- for -- nothing -- couldn't -- handle -- this!" he raged.

"Camdar." Horita's voice echoed through his head, and his master was likewise peeved. "Report back to the Buttlair. Now!"

"Yes, master." Camdar immediately returned to the moon base and found Horita peering into his crystal ball. "Um, what will you do now?"

"Looks like I will have to take matters into my own hands!" Horita snapped. He then spun around dramatically and hurled a bolt of energy down to Serenes Forest, striking his monster and making it grow. "Tremble in fear, Folgores, for Lightlisneeze becomes more powerful as he grows!"

"Oh, shoot," Darros muttered, as he and the others watched their enemy multiply in size.

"NOOOO!" Lightlisneeze howled, as he grew bigger and bigger. "My Nino doll! It's been crushed!"

"This ... looks like a job for the Folgorezord," Shin said. He then raised his staff in the air. "All right, then! Let's assemble!"

With those words, the various Zords appeared from different parts of the city and, once everyone had all entered their respective Zords, combined together to form the Folgorezord.

"It's cursin' time!" Shin yelled, as he delivered a swift punch to Lightlisneeze's face.

The monster didn't even flinch as the Folgorezord's right arm slammed into its cheek. "Oh! Are you here to be my new friend? Yay! I love hugging new friends!" Lightlisneeze wrapped his arms around the Folgorezord and held it in place with a tight grip.

"This wasn't a good idea," Darros complained, as he and Boron desperately tried to break their enemy's grip but to no avail.

"I say, this does not look good," Banzai said. "Our power meter is dropping rapidly fast."

Harpoon fiddled with all the control panels on the ship, despite the others' protests. "This is a job for dumb luck!" he argued. "Maybe we'll get insanely lucky if I press every single button here!"

"No!" Shin howled when Harpoon got dangerously close to pressing a certain red button. "That self-destructs the Folgorezord! You'll kill us all!"

Banzai gave Shin a dry look. "Why is there a self-destruct button in the Folgorezord?" he demanded. "That thing will certainly lead to our downfall one day. It is hubris!"

"See, Banzai? This is why you need to be an English major," Darros told him.

"If we survive this I'll consider switching back."

"Yes, I can feel it!" Horita exclaimed. "This is the end of the Folgore Rangers! They cannot escape their fate!"

Imp sighed. "I didn't want to do this, but ..." She turned to Boron. "There's only one thing we can do."

"Yeah, seems like the best time to break it out," Boron agreed.

"What are you two talking about?" Harpoon asked.

"Just watch." Imp took a deep breath, and shouted as loud as she could, "HEY LIGHTLISNEEZE! We have a little surprise for you!"

And then, as Imp and Boron raised their arms in the air, a rainbow-colored storm cloud began forming inside the Folgorezord, above their heads. Shin, Darros, Harpoon, and Banzai stared at them and it, dumbfounded. A flash of bright light forced the guys to look away, and there was an explosion of bright lights and little girls.

"SPAMMING LOLI ATTACK!" Imp and Boron shouted.

"MY EYES!" Horita screamed. "MY EYEEES!"

"Ah ... ah ..." Lightlisneeze immediately dropped the Folgorezord, becoming doe-eyed as the figures flashed before him. "OH, HAPPINESS!" he cried out, then fainted from joy and the sheer cuteness.

The male Folgores waited until the blinding light had faded before they turned to look at their fellow rangers. "I did not know you two could do that," Darros was the first to speak. "Since when could you do that?"

"Since now, I guess." Boron shrugged. "I don't know. Since when is there any consistency in the things that happen to us, anyway?"

"You're coming very close to breaking the fourth wall," Banzai warned.

Harpoon simply laughed and Shin shook his head. "Well, let's just be glad that this is another crisis averted," he said. "Come on, guys, let's get back to the juice bar!"

Meanwhile, back on the Buttlair, things were not going well. Camdar had looked away in time to avoid being blinded by the spamming loli attack, but Horita had not been so lucky. He had dropped his staff on the floor and was covering his eyes. Simply trying to open them hurt.

Camdar poked Horita to get his attention. "Master, are you okay?" he asked.

"Do I look okay, you incompetent fool!?" Horita fumed. "Just ... take me to my room and bring me some cookies. I'm taking the rest of the day off."

"Yes, master." As ordered, Camdar helped Horita to his room ... but not before they both tripped and fell while walking out through the doorway.

[Shin]

Hey cool! I actually do something other than shout orders at people! Banzai, you might want to stick to English, it's what you do best! Also, the second part of the Apoceclipse!

"No, Horita! Curse you!" Doku shouted, shaking his fist in the air. However, Sharlow had already begun his assault, charging forward with a slightly nibbled candy cane. The team gasped, but Doku was ready.

"Ha! I do karate! You expect me to lose a one-on-one fight!" Doku boasted, eager to show of his moves and then proclaim his own greatness! "I am a red belt!"

The others watch in horror, red belt was second from bottom, and they knew what Doku's luck was like... well, what the absence of it was like. He could be given the winning lottery numbers and he'd still end up losing. Sharlow's candy cane struck him in the chest, but Doku soon recovered, swatting it to the side.

"I am Folgore Red! The invincible Folgore! I always save the day!" he declared, his ego numbing any wounds he received.

Camdar cursed under his breath, he needed more than this if he were to prevent his own failure. He nudged Apoceclipse, and whispered into her ear. She nodded, and shouted another TEE-HEE!

Suddenly, Sharlow was joined by Ringman and a Raticate - more of Doku's mortal enemies. Surely even he couldn't fend all of them off. Timp wasn't happy.

"Hey, Camdar! That's cheating! Just because you're incompetent doesn't mean you can play dirty!" she protested.

Camdar screamed, he didn't like being reminded of his own incompetence. In fact, he'd managed to delude himself that he wasn't incompetent at all.

"I'm the bad guy, of course I'm supposed to cheat! Besides, there are like 6 7of you anyway!" he shouted. The Folgores looked puzzled, but all became clear. 13th, Folgore White appeared besides them. The mysterious 6th 7th Folgore had finally revealed himself.

"Ah, yes. I'm 13th, Folgore White. I'd been working in the shadows up until now. Eliedon assigned me to help you guys, but I could never find a good time to introduce myself. Now was as good as ever."

Despite Camdar doing something amazing, nobody seemed to care. His history of failure destroyed anything he did well. Camdar felt that he deserved the recognition, he angrily whispered orders to Apoceclipse, who nodded and bellowed another TEE-HEE.

In front of the Folgores appeared unspeakable evil. In front of Timp was Jotaro, her idol, Although not as she had wanted, he was middle-aged, balding, overweight and horribly deformed... yet she still knew it was him.

"No!!!" she screamed. "You've gone too far Camdar"

Boron was comfronted by a humanoid alarm clock, with the time of 6am glaring evilly at her. Her vision began to blur, and her eyelids were heavy.

"It can't be..." she yawned. "That time already?"

Banzai was met by a strange man, with a beret and a striped t-shirt.

"I am speaking the language of English for you, no?" he said, the exact purpose of his sentence uncertain.

"Darn, so many mistakes... and I must correct them all... because I'm an English Major." Banzai muttered, he couldn't fight properly with so many mistakes.

"Hey, Big bro!" chirped a young boy, it was Harpoon's brother - happy to be tormenting his brother. Harpoon scowled.

Camdar stood triumphantly, laughing maniacally - even he knew he couldn't mess this one up. 13th turned to Darros.

"Blue, I'm going to create a portal out of here. We need you to return to Timp's garage... even we can't win this fight. We need you to ask Eliedon for help." he whispered.

"But why me? Anybody could do it... I'm nothing special... Doku said so himself." Darros cried. 13th patted him on the back.

"Don't say that, Doku thinks you're very important. He just never says it because it would damage his own ego... now, only you can do this..." 13th reassured him. "Camdar forgot all about you... because he's incompetent. Plus, your head's the only one that's the right shape to go through my portal."

A person shaped hole appeared in the darkness, with the head being especially peanut shaped. Darros leapt through, glimpsing the Folgores slowly losing their battles.

-----------------------------------------------------

Landing on his peanut shaped head, Darros found himself in Timp's conservatory. Eliedon was in his tube, accompanied by Refa-5, who seemed to be having some fun with the toaster. Refa-5 spotted Darros, and quickly hid the toaster behind him.

"Yaranaika! You weren't meant to see that. Why are you back so soon?" Refa-5 said quickly, closing his access hatch.

"Eliedon! The other rangers are in trouble! 13th said that you'd be able to help us!" Darros panted, slightly disturbed by Refa-5's antics.

Eliedon was facing away from Darros, seemingly having a conversation with someone else. He soon turned around, after telling someone to go to bed,

"Ah yes, Darros. I predicted the great peril you would all be in. I believe we have something that can help you. His hair has finally just dried." Eliedon boomed, the volume control was probably broken.

The bathroom door opened, and a strange robot stepped out. It was much like the Folgore rangers' costumes, but it was wearing a hat and had fabulous emo-bangs. Emo-bangs so fabulous that they must have taken years to perfect. It spoke;

"Shojor ready. Let's go bust some heads."
