Power Rangers Jungle Fury: Rise of the Dragon

Chapter 5: The Charge of Buffolord

Dai Shi sat on his throne, eyes burning with frustration. The Rangers were proving to be more of a challenge than anticipated, and with the addition of the new warrior, Damian, their strength was growing. He clenched his fist and turned to Camille, who was kneeling before him.

"The Rinshi are no longer enough," he growled. "They need more power."

Camille bowed her head. "My lord, what do you propose?"

Dai Shi raised a hand, dark energy swirling in his palm. He motioned toward one of the Rinshi standing nearby. The chosen warrior stepped forward hesitantly, but before it could react, Dai Shi's power engulfed it, transforming it into a massive, hulking beast with horns like a buffalo and the strength to match.

"Buffolord," Dai Shi declared. "Go and crush the Rangers."

The monstrous warrior let out a guttural roar before vanishing into the shadows, heading toward Ocean Bluff.

The Battle Begins

The Rangers arrived on the scene already morphed, standing side by side as Buffolord rampaged through the city streets.

"This one's bigger than the last," Theo muttered, tightening his grip on his weapons.

"And stronger," Lily added, eyes narrowed.

Damian stepped forward, gripping the hilt of his sword. "Then we better take it seriously."

Buffolord turned to them with a menacing snarl. "More Rangers to crush! Good! I needed a workout!"

With a powerful stomp, he charged at them. The Rangers scattered, dodging his initial strike, but his sheer strength sent shockwaves through the pavement, knocking Theo and Lily off balance.

Damian, however, held firm. He met Buffolord's charge with his sword, the two locking into a fierce struggle. Sparks flew as their weapons clashed, but Damian kept pushing forward.

Theo and Lily scrambled to their feet and joined the fight, attacking from the sides. But Buffolord was fast for his size, swatting them away with a single motion.

Damian grit his teeth, frustration bubbling to the surface. "I've had enough of this!"

Golden energy flared around him as his Dragon Animal Spirit surged to life. With a roar, he swung his sword with newfound strength, sending Buffolord skidding back.

Just then, a red blur streaked into the fight. "Hope I'm not too late to the party!"

Casey had arrived, his posture radiating confidence. The others took a moment to glance at him, noticing the shift in his stance—more composed, more focused.

Buffolord snarled. "More Rangers? Doesn't matter! I'll crush you all!"

"Not today!" Casey shot forward, dodging the beast's massive fists and countering with swift, calculated strikes.

With all four Rangers together, they unleashed a coordinated assault, pushing Buffolord back with every strike. Damian, Casey, Lily, and Theo moved as one, anticipating each other's attacks and covering for each other's weaknesses. Finally, Casey led the charge, striking Buffolord in the chest while Damian landed a devastating slash, sending the monster crashing into a nearby building.

Buffolord groaned, struggling to rise. "This… isn't over!"

Dark energy surrounded him, and within moments, he grew to a towering height, looming over the city.

"Oh, great," Theo sighed. "Didn't see that coming."

RJ's voice came through their morphers. "You know what to do, guys."

Summoning the Zords

"Jungle Pride Megazord!" Casey commanded.

"Jungle Dragon Strike!" Damian added.

The ground trembled as the Rangers summoned their respective Zords. The Red Tiger, Blue Jaguar, and Yellow Cheetah Zords combined into the Jungle Pride Megazord, while Damian's mighty Dragon Zord hovered above, its golden wings gleaming in the sunlight.

Meanwhile, Flint, the eccentric jungle commentator, appeared on the rooftop of a nearby building, holding a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your seats because we've got a clash of titans! The Jungle Fury Rangers have brought out the big guns! But will it be enough? Stay tuned!"

Camille, watching from the shadows, frowned. "Hmph. Let's see if they can actually finish the job."

Buffolord roared, swinging his massive fists at the Megazord. The Rangers inside braced for impact but countered with a strong block, pushing back with their own strength.

"Let's finish this!" Casey shouted.

Damian's Dragon Zord charged energy in its mouth, golden flames forming into a concentrated blast. "Dragon Strike Cannon, fire!"

The Jungle Pride Megazord followed suit, unleashing its final attack. The two blasts combined, slamming into Buffolord with overwhelming force. The monster let out one final roar before exploding in a brilliant display of light.

The Rangers let out a collective breath of relief as their Zords powered down.

"Now that's what I call teamwork," Lily said with a smile.

Damian crossed his arms, nodding. "Not bad."

Casey smirked. "We'll make a team player out of you yet."

From the shadows, Camille clenched her fists. "They're getting stronger… but next time, they won't be so lucky."

Back in his throne room, Dai Shi watched in silence, eyes glowing with rage. "This isn't over. The next battle… will be their last."

Back at the loft, the Rangers shared a celebratory meal, their bond stronger than before. Damian sat quietly for a moment, then glanced at Casey. "That training… might not have been useless."

Casey grinned. "Glad to hear it."

RJ chuckled, leaning back. "Looks like we're finally starting to sync up. But don't get too comfortable—tomorrow, we train even harder."

The Rangers groaned, but deep down, they knew RJ was right. The battle had been won, but the war was far from over.
