Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Green Ranger, Raven




Green Ranger has posed:
With the holiday season approaching, things are tense. For some it is a time of joy, for others caution more so if they are mutants. And right now. Hate is Brewing, in the bowels of Gotham three people are Churning up anger in a shelter under ground, the sewers, the ruined areas of gotham. And with it anger is spiking, as these three people a woman and two men, are convincing the poor, the downtroden that due to gotham's corruption, they are simple stepped on and vermin.

And with it an aura of hate and rage is coming off of one of the three as he is working the homeless, the poor into a frenzy. It is almost supernatural, in fact it is as a magic field is being generated to produce an empathic field of rage, and then that rage is being fed upon to make the producer even more powerful causing the field to grow, and start blanketing this area of Gotham, and now the shouts, the curses and the fights are breaking out....

Raven has posed:
    Raven is not entirely happy with what she's been feeling on the horizon. It is anger, and it is hatred- and for a short while, she had even thought that it might be her Father... But its potency is not necessarily on that level- That, and nobody has come flying her way declaring that she's supposed to have some part in it.

    As a result, Raven is placing herself at ground zero, her hooded form in the crowd of homeless and disenfranchised that this individual is hoping to stir into a frenzy. Moments into his speech, she can already feel the hatred and... Magic, perhaps? Some otherworldly influence not entirely alien to Raven herself ebbing off of him in long waves, urging everyone in the crowd to give into that baser instinct.

    A speech turns into violence, into a small riot in every which way, and through it all, Raven is trying to slip her way through the crowd, towards the stage. She could fly over, of course, but that would draw a little too much attention- and she doesn't want to risk accidentally teleporting a few people with her should she go that route.

    Instead, she's just casually trying to make her way forward through the throng of people.

Green Ranger has posed:
As Raven moves through the crowd perhaps she is invisible to their sight, but if anyone does notice her they will attack her, They don't care who or what. As long as they can imply give into their rage.

Eventually sees three people almost at the epicenter, smiling as one figure is surrounding by the red aura of rage and hatred just feeding on it. "Yes YES!" he calls out "Feel that Rage! KILL MURDER DESTROY!" he calls out

Like some Demon the energy surge grows, as he feeds on the rage of those below him, he also projects the empathic field and it is begining to rise threatening to grow beyond this small area.

And it happens, A flash of Green Light in the Sky as a figure clad in a Green uniform, with gold armor jumps down an Ornate Dagger in his hand as he slashed at the one feeding on the Rage. For those in the know this is the Gren Power Ranger out of Angel Groves, and as he strikes the man feeding on the hateride he sudden has a shower of sparks erupt from him as he is knocked back and the illusion around his form dispelled. And the other two the man and woman also change one turns into a gold Dog like monster with wings, the other into a woman clad in golden armor like a SCorpion

AS for the monster, the form appears a reddish hell like beast befitting one of Trigon's servants, fire erupting from his back, as he says, "So Green Ranger! this time you don't have the support of your friends!"

Raven has posed:
    Raven isn't invisible, but that particular thing doesn't matter. Around her, as soon as people in the crowd begin attacking the first person, first -thing- they see, Raven puts together a field of null-emotion, ripping hatred and rage out of the air as if it were moisture, and storing it away. She can only do this for that small area, without overwhelming herself- but it will mean that she moves through the crowd.

    Being that Raven is, herself, one of the most powerful- if not -the- most powerful- Empaths on the planet... This particular situation is absolutely right within her wheelhouse. However, everything changes about the situation when the Ranger arrives. She knows -of- him, and perhaps has seen him on occasion, but she has never worked alongside him or his friends. As a result, she knows that things are not going to stay stable for long.

    She rises into the air then, pulling herself out of the crowd. Her attention is solely on the three present on the stage, awash in a sea of rage and hatred. Raven herself has remained centered in all of it, though there's no telling how long she'll be able to keep herself so calm. She knows that she needs to end this as quickly as possible, and to that end, she begins chanting in some unknowable language.

Green Ranger has posed:
Of course right now, with the Woman or girl rising up Goldar and Scorpina can tell she is effectiving the crowd. And the pair of them cross their blades and start to fire an energy blast at her, combining their magic. "No You will not foul Rita's Plan!" Goldar Says. And as They break the blades Scorpina jumps through the air, the worrior woman is fast and strong, and while she is not effected by the rage monster she is none the less lest likely to be effected by the emotion nullifying power she has.

Goldar of course now summons a horde of Puttie Patrolers. The monsters made of clay and stone begin to attack on mass. Some Jumping through the Air, others, trying to throw things at Raven. Anything to disrupt her spell.

AS for the Green Ranger, he is currenlt in a clash with the Monster, the Hatemonster, yeah a play on hatemonger. Rita must have a thing for cheesey names.

As The green ranger attacks slashing with his Blade and kicking, punching he also takes several hits in return, his armored shield of course offers protection from the monster's rage field, as he feeds on a large surge of energy and then amps up the rage in the people around him, attempting to burn out their emotional centers so that all they can feel is rage...

Raven has posed:
    Raven isn't necessarily prepared for people leaping through the sky, but that doesn't mean there's nothing she can do. Startled, and pausing in her weaving of her soul-self through the crowd, Raven slips her hands from her pockets in order to deal with the armored woman as best she could.

    Sweeping her hand in front of her, the sound of chimes- though, accelerated, like almost a small screech- can be heard as she brings up a tough shield of inky, yet translucent darkness. From behind this, Raven readies bolts of shadow, aiming to shoot down the leaping warrior before she can be struck herself, so as to continue with what she was doing.

    Sure, all the people in the crowd might not -want- to be on the other side of Gotham, but she will transport them there, if she can just get Scorpina off of her back for but a few moments longer. Her intent is that, if they're out of the range of the field, it can't feed on the emotions it causes.

Green Ranger has posed:
As The Green Ranger turns his head to look at Rachel he gets a message that she is having a positive effect on the crowd so the Green Ranger does what all heroes do. Help the key player. Breaking Combat he turns the power of his dagger on Scorpina. A green burst of energy erupts from it just as Scorpina was making a second attack, the impact hits her in the Side as it knocks her down and back, allowing Raven to perhaps deliver a knock out blow to her. Still the Monster the Green Ranger was fighting took full advantage.

a pair of hands come down on the back of the Ranger as a shower of sparks and an explostion hits his back sening him tumbling forward from the roof top to the street below. Landing on a Car on his back as he jerks in pain. He's hurt, but healing. His armor and suit took the full brunt but it still transfered some of it to the hero inside.

Goldar takes advantage of the Green Ranger's weakness as he lunges at Raven, using his Nth metal sword hoping to use it to disrupt her magic. Of course As he recovers

Summoning his power into a green ball, The ranger throws the energy sphere at Goldar!

Raven has posed:
    The assistance from the Ranger is invaluable- Raven would not have been able to handle both assailants at once, let alone a third should the monster have joined the fray, but in the end, the most she can do is get the crowd out of harm's way, for the moment. Scorpina's initial strikes are blocked by the shield and then with the strike from the Ranger's energy, Raven doubles down and delivers a knockout blow, sending Scorpina back down onto the stage from whence she'd leapt.

    Her attention returns immediate to the crowd, as from the whole of her hoody extends this horrid darkness, that envelops the people below and, after a moment, begins pulling back into the simple garment, as if a tide of liquid, yet sentient, consuming the innocent people and, unbeknownst to anyone but Raven, depositing them tens of miles away.

    This is no small victory, but it's about to become less of one with Goldar leaping for her. Raven, having focused on her spell, is practically defenseless in this scenario. There won't be magic to disrupt anymore- but if the Ranger's blast doesn't knock Goldar off course enough for her to avoid the blow, she'll be bitten by the edge of the blade, rather heavily.

Green Ranger has posed:
The sheer blow from Raven is enough to make Scorpina loose consiousness and with it she flashes and teleports out. Summoned back to Rita's palace, and as The Green Ranger's Blast hits Goldar, knocking him into the building giving Raven a few scant seconds to complete her spell. With all the people in the affected area gone the monster's power drops... some. He acts like a Battery as he screams in rage.

"You will suffer for that!" and in this point he lunges at Raven as the putty patrolers also lunge. Having recovered just enough, he is able to make his way over to where Raven is clashing his dagger to protect the girl who teleported the people away. But now he has both The rage monster and Goldar. The former is trying to infect his mind with rage, and goldar has a personal grudge against the ranger.

This combined with the Putties, has disaster written all over it.

Raven has posed:
    Raven is the center of a lot of attention today, but she succeeded in weakening the monster, thanks in no small part to the Ranger's impressive assistance. Still, things are wearing thin, and though there are less people here than there were before, there are still two enemies to take care of.

    With a muttered few words, Raven's hands are encompassed in orbs of that anti-light, and there is a grunt of effort- the monster, she feels, is the larger concern. She can handle its infection- she figures- but can't risk the Ranger, who's taken several hits already- falling to it.

    "Get the gold guy!" she calls, "I think I can handle this!"

    The telekinesis she's using is impressively powerful, and hopefully enough to separate the monster from the Ranger. If she can, she'll even throw the beast, but her intent is to keep it restrained while she prepares a burst of empathic power, aiming to strip away its emotions- to leave it a husk, either not really alive, or just plain dead.

Green Ranger has posed:
As The Ranger's powers help him heal augmenting his powers and abilities, he nods to her. "if your sure!" he says and then lunges at Goldar, "Hey Goldar! Still upset I replaced you as Rita's General? I can tell you this it wasn't that hard." And of course Goldar Roars out lashing with his Nth metal sword. But the Ranger is able to attack and parry. Rather than try and over power Goldar he deflects, and redirects his attacks allowing him to spin around lashing out with his dagger as Goldar turns around. Cutting a fast slice across his chest. Of course as it staggers goldar who recovers he slashes at the ranger impacting his shei;d making him only grunt as it absorbs the blow.

For Raven she will find the monster is one of hate indeed only that emotion. Some how linked to the emotional spectrum of anger. And as her power threatens it, the monster roars out, "NO No you can not destroy me any more than you can destroyr HATRED!" and he firs at her through his eyes a burst of red energy not at Raven but a car, attempting to make it explode near her to knock her down.

Raven has posed:
    Raven pins the monster to the wall. Her telekinesis is strong enough that, as it switches tactics, she can avoid the lasers and the screams. Pressing it into the wall as she tries to pull its emotions apart, Raven retaliates with exposition of her own. "I am borne of hatred, molded by anger incarnate!" As she speaks, her voice seems to double upon itself, a sinister, echoing sort of seeming-malicious second half to her speech. "My father is wrath itself, and you, you are nothing but a pale imitation!"

Green Ranger has posed:
as the creature is connected to her through her mind powers he laughs and roares and instantly he begins to feel upon the energy growing stronger, more powerful, "YES YES GIVE IT TO ME!"

The creature is now reaching out with it's own magical tendrils attempting to feed on Raven's own power, the wrath and rage of trigon, "With your power I will blanket this world in hatred!" he says. And as his strength grows, he is attempting to use his magic, to feed on that. And he just starts ripping the energy out of the magic. Of course Rita made the monster able to grow in the level of absorbtion... And then as he reaches his limits."

And as he does he begins to produce that empathic rage field amping it up stronger and stronger. So that as he feeds on Raven's power... he has somewhere to Cycle the excess energy.

And with it it is enough to make the Green ranger scream in rage, Even Goldar has begun to succomb to the level of Rage.

Raven has posed:
    Raven has enough emotional power to fuel this monster for eons to come- and, indeed, if she had the presence of mind to do so, She could overload the beast, and cause it to collapse in on itself- or burst, depending. The problem is that as it siphons off enough to have its fill, Raven notices how the Ranger and Goldar are succumbing to anger.

    She rather immediately breaks off from the beast- pulling its influence from them is all the more important than aggressing the monster. It might escape, but that doesn't matter to her. Instead, all of her attention, and magical focus, is set on stripping the rage out of the minds of Goldar and the Green Ranger.

Green Ranger has posed:
As the monster's power is at his peek he roars out as his flames turn black and a roare of power comes shattering windows. "YES YES Lucky for you little girl, I can't absorb any more but when my ability to absorb more rage increases, Rest assured I'll be back for a second course of your power!" And in this moment the monster's power has been amped up dangerously. As he will teleport away as Goldar and the green ranger's anger is drained away.

Goldar of course roars out, as he claims he'll be back to teleport away as well.

The Green Ranger of course has plenty of rage, plnety of anger. Both at Rita, and himself.

Perhaps the pain of what Rita forced him to do will be conveyed to Raven, maybe memories as well as he was forced to hurt people, unable to stop himself, dancing like a puppet on Rita's strings. But eventually The infusion of rage is drained awway as he drops to his knees in pain and anguish..

Raven has posed:
    Raven's focus is entirely on nullifying the hatred and rage flowing through the Ranger- but it only works temporarily. At least, she's specifically trying not to let it last longer than it absolutely needs to. To this end, she isn't reading any thoughts, or gleaning much of the rage's nature other than that it is what it is. When all is said and done, Raven pulls herself to a stand. She's more impassive now than ever, having to spend all of her energy keeping her own emotions in check in this time following the fight.

    "Are you okay?" she asks, in a serene, otherworldly voice. "I apologize that they got away, but at least their plans are foiled, for now."

Green Ranger has posed:
As he recovers his body surges with a bit of green energy and standign up. The Green Ranger turns to Raven and nods. "Yes I am alright, I'll be sore for a while but I'll heal quickly. Thank you for your help. He'll be back sooner or later to feed and cause more rage again." He's genuinely thankful but he knows that thing can destroy the world.

Raven has posed:
    Nodding to that, Raven has little to offer. "I'll be watching for him. You should rest." she notes, making her way not up into the sky, but rather, down into the floor. She seeps into a shadow, and after a moment, is simply gone.

Green Ranger has posed:
with a Shimmer of Green light around him the Green Ranger teleports out. Leaving the area almost deserted...
