Excerpt from fan-fic: Power Rangers Accele-lightning, ep II
(based on Enjin Sentai Go-onger)
They stop in their when they see Coop standing between them, at the foot of the stairs, and the couch with a stern look on his face. Chase, behind the others, pushes his way to the front and gives them a look. They turn and go back upstairs. Chase turns back to Coop.
CHASE HARPER: Hey, dad… where’s Josh?
COOPER HARPER: His shift ended hours ago and he left. Where were you, I asked you to get some parts from Carlton and you were gone all day.
CHASE HARPER: I’m… sorry, dad. It’s… kind of a… a long story.
COOPER HARPER: Do you know what happened today?
Chase begins to try to smooth the situation over with humor as Coop turns the TV back on.
CHASE HARPER: Well, there was a lot of- giant robots on the news…
COOPER HARPER: Do you have any idea how worried I was? I haven’t been this terrified since the night your mother left us!
CHASE HARPER: Right… and Laurie ran away to try to find her.
COOPER HARPER: At least they had a little bit of sense back then! Not that it got them anywhere… but you-
CHASE HARPER: Dad! It’s fine that you care and all, but I’m tired of you being so protective! I’m tired of sitting back while everyone else handles it and I’m really tired of you using the rest of our family against me all the time! I’ve grown up a little and I have some sense! Look at me… I’m still here. I didn’t get carried off by no flying saucer or anything. Just relax, dad.
COOPER HARPER: Well, just where were you anyway?
CHASE HARPER: I… can’t tell you.
COOPER HARPER: Oh, you can tell me anything you want, and I really think you should!
Chase struggles with the decision for a bit, then heaves a sigh of defeat and pulls out his Morpher.
CHASE HARPER: Ok… here it goes. Androjinn, Accele-lightning!
Chase morphs into the Red Ranger and Coop is speechless. Coop falls back onto the couch.
COOPER HARPER: No… not you. Not this.
CHASE HARPER: Dad. It’s ok.
COOPER HARPER: No… you need to give me that thing right now.
CHASE HARPER: No. I really can’t.
COOPER HARPER: Yes you can, give me it!
CHASE HARPER: No.
COOPER HARPER: Yes! Give me the morpher now!
CHASE HARPER: Wait, how do you know what it is?
COOPER HARPER: That’s not important, just give it to me, now!
CHASE HARPER: No, dad!
Coop tries to pry the morpher away, but Chase wins and retreats up the stairs a bit.
CHASE HARPER: Dad, just calm down… I need it.
COOPER HARPER: I’m not getting it away from you, am I?
CHASE HARPER: I’m sorry dad.
COOPER HARPER: Then get out.
CHASE HARPER: Wait… what!
COOPER HARPER: You heard me! I’m tired of this, get out! Go live with your friends for a while, see how that works out for you!
CHASE HARPER: But dad!
COOPER HARPER: Give me the morpher… or get out.
Chase considers this for a moment, looking from Coop to the morpher and back. Chase demorphs and retreats upstairs as Cooper turns away from the staircase and holds up the locket once more. He squeezes it closed in his fist with a disturbed look on his face and walks into the garage, slamming the door behind him.
Upstairs, Chase rushes past Aron and Dawn, also in a bad mood.
