Disclaimer: I don’t own Power Rangers or any of their characters. I do own the Divettes. The song ‘I Can Love You Better’ is from the Dixie Chicks. The time line for this fic is about a week after the Turbo Episode ‘Crash and the Creeps’.

The Birth of the Divettes
By David Knight

It was a perfect Friday afternoon in Angel Grove. Everyone was having a great day. At the Angel Grove Youth Center. The Turbo Rangers had just finished classes for the day and were enjoying smoothies.

"Finally some peace and quiet." Carlos smiled.

"Cept maybe the peace and quiet has lasted for almost a week?" TJ said.

"Yeah no detonator threats or anything from Divatox." Justin cracked. "May the ugly witch just die on her space base far away from the earth."

"Justin." Ashley said.

"What? As if any of us actually likes her." Justin replied.

The turbos all looked at each other and smirked. "NO!" laughed in unison.

"So come on TJ don’t get so bent okay. We can always win against Divatox." Carlos said.

"One word: Metallasaurus." TJ countered.

Carlos paled. "Oh yeah…"

"Come on TJ we will stay on guard. We promise." Ashley said.

"Okay so it just me or is Divatox just really slipping these days?" Cassie said.

"It aint you Cass. She just keeps coming with the same old trick only she keeps on using newer ridiculous looking monsters to care out her plans." Ashley said.

"Since when have any of Divatox's plans not be ridiculous?" Justin questioned.

"True." Ashley said.

"Still though you think she could come with some originality." Cassie replied.

"True…" TJ nodded, "But do you WANT her to make things harder?"

"Not really." Ashley said. "It just… so…"

"Boring is the world you are looking for Ash." Cassie said.

"Well, can't disagree there," Justin said, "Certain things just aren't fun after being a Ranger."

"Well right now I am bored as hell." Ashley said.

It was then Cassie got up and picked up a flyer she saw.

"Musical group competition." Cassie said.

"Cassie…" Ashley muttered.

"Must be a group of 4 or more. Prize is $20,000" Cassie said.

"… okay I am in." Ashley said. "I know I got musical talent."

"Just hope that it doesn't turn out like your last musical outing," Carlos said, to which Justin shook his head.

"Divatox may not be the brightest bulb in the box at times, but I kinda doubt she'd try the same thing twice," The Blue Ranger stated.

"Yeah I mean she would have to be nuts to try to send down another monster band." Ashley said.

"Sides I am not going to try auditions. Just going to go with what works." Cassie said.

TJ nodded slightly, "Yeah, but there's a little problem there… it says, 'must be a group of 4 or more', remember?"

"Yeah I know… and me and Ash will only make two." Cassie said.

"Don't look at us," Carlos said, raising his hands up, "I couldn't carry a tune to save my life."

"Don't worry. I wouldn't ask you to sing." Cassie quipped.

"Gee thanks… I think." He replied.

"I don't think I can help out any with that either…" TJ muttered.

"… I know I know." Ashley said.

"Hey TJ!"

TJ blinked a couple of times before looking behind him, "Tommy?"

"hey how is going you guys?" Tommy Oliver, the former Red Turbo Ranger asked coming to them. As if nothing had changed he was still wearing red.

"Not much…" TJ said, then indicated the girls, "They were about to go try out for some music competition, but they only have two members and they need four at the least."

"Music huh?" Tommy smiled.

"Yeah. Just not sure how it will end up." Cassie said.

"… why are you smiling?" Ashley asked.

"Hey girls come on over here!" Tommy called out.

"Hey Justin!"

"Oh wow! I don’t believe it!" Justin cried.

The group looked to see Tanya, Kat, and Kimberly. The current Turbos already knew about Tanya and Kat mainly because Ashley and Cassie had replaced them. As for Kimberly, in their spare time they had gone into the Power Chamber Archives and read up on all the past Power Rangers.

"Hey, what're all of you guys doing here?" Carlos asked.

"Well I'm done with the gymnastics. Coach was really becoming a pain in the ass to me." Kimberly said. "As for Tanya and Kat, well they are on vacation." She then looked at the flyer. "So a singing competition?"

"Yeah." Ashley said. "Would you like to help us out?"

"Music is a girls thing." Kimberly smiled.

"Hm, true…" Kat nodded.

"At leas with us Rangers… we seem to be about the only ones that can carry a tune…" Tanya noted.

"Hey!" Carlos exclaimed.

"You said yourself you couldn't sing…" Justin said, sipping his drink. Carlos looked at him for a moment before quietly sitting down.

"So girls why don't we get stared on this." Cassie said getting up.

"Excellent idea." Tanya said. "I'll be lead singer."

"No that goes to me. My idea. My band." Cassie said. "You can sing back up."

"Back up?" Tanya shot.

"Let's take it down a notch before everything falls down." Ashley said. "I'll be using drums."

"I'll use a keyboard synthesizer. I got really good with it recently." Kim said.

As the girls kept walking the guys could still here them talking.

Tommy then did the cross after they were gone. "Thank you god. This is a sign from god I am sure of it."

The three Turbo males looked at him, "..come again?" TJ asked.

Tommy just blinked. "Your two girls don’t have you go shopping with them?"

"…no…. not that I recall," Carlos replied.

"I see what you're getting at Tommy…" Justin nodded slightly, getting confused looks from the Red and Green Turbo Rangers, "…I've been on this team the longest out of us five remember. I was teammates with them before."

Tommy sighed as he placed his hands on the Red and Green Turbos. "I really pity you guys… but I guess its a lasting tradition for all male rangers."

"…what's the big deal about going shopping?" TJ asked.

"You'll see…" Justin said before going back to his soda, "Trust me, you'll see eventually…"

"I don't see what is so bad about taking girls to go shopping." Carlos said as he and TJ took a drink.

"I'd like to hear you say that after you wasted 500 dollars per girl on a massive five mall, eight hour shop-till-you-drop-athon." Tommy said.

TJ and Carlos suddenly spit their drinks out, "…come again….?" They chorused.

"What do you think they are going to do?" Tommy asked. "First they innocently get you to go out with them to a mall. Then they hit you up for money with their smiles and charm. Then they have you carry all of their bags while they go to another store to shop and on to your bag collection. You know the record was set when Kim and Trini came over for vacation, mind you this is before Tanya joined us, and then they took all of us around Angel Grove and Stone Canyon. 129 bags with a merchandise value of $2,304.98."

TJ and Carlos' jaws nearly hit the table, while Justin wasn't phased, "…ah… how…?" Was all Carlos could get out.

"How'd you afford all that?" TJ asked.

"Well it was a divided cost. Me, Billy, Adam and Rocky all split that bill." Tommy replied.

"You don't think that Ashley and Cassie would…" TJ started

Carlos shook his head, "No…" He paused, "…would they?"

That was answered as they saw the girls starting to come back their way and in hearing distance.

"Hey wait we do need some new instruments…" Kim said.

"Yeah but how do we get the money?" Ashley asked.

Kat's voice was sounding evilly. "Time to introduce you all to a girl ranger tradition."

"Oh…" TJ began under his breath.

"…crap." Carlos finished.

"Told ya so…" Justin said as he finished off his drink.

"And now I introduce you to an all time male ranger custom… Run like hell and don't look back. Justin try and buy us some time!" Tommy said running off.

Justin just stared as the other two ran off, "Gee… thanks… Ah…" He blinked, How the heck am I supposed to buy them time…???

Meanwhile, Divatox looked on from her Space Base the whole antics.

"I don't get it!" She screeched. "I work long and hard to make them scared of me and they laugh at me… and now I find out they are more scare of their own friends then they are of me! I ask you is that right at all?!"

"Um… yes?" Elgar said uncertainly, "Oh, I mean no! …right?"

"Argh!" Dixatox screamed. "Idiots!"

"Calm down my queen! You'll defeat them yet!" Rygog said.

"Sure! That's what you all say everytime BEFORE I get beaten!" Divatox said. "… eh those little brats are right. My plans are repetitive. I might as well quit and let Astronema take a crack at Earth."

Porto blinked repeatedly, "…are you running a fever?"

"NO!" Divatox said plopping on her bed. "What I am however is tired of losing!"

"But my queen you can't give up! I mean think of what you mother and brother will do if you quit?" Rygog said.

"… like I care anymore. My reputation is going down the drain with every loss I get from these rangers." Divatox said. "I should have listened to that idiot machine Gasket when he mocked me when I came her the first time. Earth is a death trap for people like us… we can't win. Only lose." She then started hitting the pillows. "It's not fair! It's not fair!"

"Well… you've almost won a lot… a few times…" Elgar said.

Porto sighed, "…that's not going to help, Elgar."

Divatox got up. "Those stupid rangers are right. I need to come up with something original. Something that hasn't been done before."

"Well how about turning them evil?" Rygog suggested.

Divatox snorted. "Already been done by everyone. It never lasts. Evil Rangers never do."

"Well, how about turning them into monsters then?" Elgar asked.

"Elgar, please…" Porto began.

Divatox then looked up. "What did you say?"

"Uh… turn them into monsters…?" Elgar repeated, before holding his hands up in front of his face to fend off any attacks.

Divatox then went over and hugged him. "ELGAR YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!"

"Ah… come again?" Elgar asked, dumbfounded.

"…maybe she DOES have a fever…" Porto whispered to Rygog.

Divatox started pacing. "It's a perfectly evil plan and completely original. All I need is the right event and the right way to do it."

"Uh.. wouldn't be easier just to do it to them in their sleep or something?" Rygog asked.

"No! That's been done. Doing it in their sleep. What I want to do to those Turbo Twits is humiliate them in front of their own home town." Divatox smirked.

"What about that concert those girls are going to be in a two weeks from now?" Elgar said.

"Elgar you are coming through for me in my darkest hour!" Divatox beamed. "Porto!"

Porto snapped to attention. "Yes my queen?"

"Prepare to put those girls on surveillance. When they buy their musical instruments… I want you to make special copies of them." Divatox said.

"Um… what kinda of special?" Porto said.

"Let’s just say its time to put an original spin on an earlier plan…" Divatox smiled pulling out a guitar. "On how to reach out the youth of the world."

Two weeks later

"Still can’t believe the nerve of Tommy and Adam." Tanya muttered. "Sorry but we have things to do."

"NASCAR and a big part as a stuntman to Keanu Reeves." Kim replied.

"I think they just hated it after we ran them down and made them spend the most money any guy Rangers had to spend on the girl Rangers." Kat said.

"Still it was worth it." Cassie said. "We got the best instruments and now we are going to win this contest."

"… rats…" Ashley muttered

"What?"

"Left the keys to open our instrument cases in the car." Ashley said.

The girls groaned. "Come on." Cassie said as they left their instrument cases in the dressing room and went back to their car.

Unfortunately for them, Divatox decided to appear into their now empty dressing room. She then zapped the cases away and replaced them with five new ones.

"Made them to look like your real ones girls." Divatox smirked. "Only when you start playing these you’ll be in for the shock of your life!"

Divatox laughed before disappearing. Cassie and the girls came back and opened up their cases. For Kim and Ashley’s instruments, they were going to have to be wheeled on stage.

"Our turn now girls." Cassie said. "Let’s get it done."

***

Meanwhile inside the Angel Grove Music Auditorium, the music concert had been going on for sometime now. There was about a total of 500 people in the stands.

"Why are we here instead of a football game?" Carlos asked.

"Because if we don’t they are going to drag us on another of those hellish marathons. You want that?" TJ asked.

Carlos shook his head.

"I didn’t think so." TJ said. He noticed Justin smirking. "Hey you are growing too Justin. Soon you are going to get into this torture too."

"Quiet! They are coming on stage!" Justin said.

They looked at the stage. Cassie not only lead guitarist but lead singer. Ashley was on the drums, Kimberly was on keyboard, Tanya was on bass and Kat was also playing the guitar.

"And now our latest group for the contest will be singing this song ‘I Can Love You Better’." The host of the contest spoke.

"Alright lets get it on!" Cassie said. She and the other started playing their instruments. The sound sounded of country. Cassie started singing.

She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace.

Tied around her little finger.

She's got you thinkin' you can never escape.

Don't you know your heart's in danger.

There's a devil in that angel face.

If you could only see the love that you're wastin'

All five of them sung together now.

I can love you better that that.

I know how to make you forget her.

All I'm askin' is for one little chance.

Cause baby I can love you, baby I can love you better

They played with no singing for a bit before Cassie picked up

I'm gonna break this spell she's got on you.

You're gonna wake up to find.

You're my desire my intentions are true

Hey babe I know it's time.

You're gonna see what you mean to me.

So open up your eyes cause seein' is believin'.

They all sung in unison again.

I can love you better than that.

I can love you better.

All I'm askin' is for one little chance.

Cause baby I can love you, baby I can love you.

The audience was enjoying the song.

"Damn they are good." TJ smiled.

"Even if it is country." Carlos muttered.

"Shhh!" Justin said.

Meanwhile disguised in the stands was Divatox. Any minute now…

As the girls were leading to their finale something strange happened as Tanya dropped her bass and dropped to her knees. The girls all stopped playing and then went over to her.

"Oh!" Tanya muttered.

"What's wrong Tanya?" Kat asked feeling concerned.

".. I don't feel so good… ahh!" Tanya screamed as a large black and bushy tail came right out of her.

YES! Divatox thought with joy.

"…girls.. I'm not feeling so good either.." Ashley said.

"Ashley your nose!" Cassie shouted.

They and they audience looked on in horror as Ashley's nose was getting bigger and her nostrils were turning outward.

"My ears!" Kat screamed. "Where are my ears!"

"They are on top of your head!" Kim shouted as she saw Kat no longer had any ears on her side but their were two large ears on the top of her head.

"Kim you're hair.." Kat muttered as she saw it magically going upwards and with in seconds it had become a beehive and it was pink.

"No way!" Kim cried as she pulled at it but it was hard as a rock. "I hate this hair style!"

"AHHH!!!" Cassie screamed. "My ass!"

Ashley looked on as Cassie's ass was now becoming the size of a basketball.

"What the hell is going on!?" Carlos said to Justin and TJ in the stands.

"Three guesses and the first two don't count!" TJ shot.

"Divatox!" Justin cried.

"She's going to PAY for this when I get my hands around her!" Carlos swore.

The girls on stage were now falling to their knees in shock as they were looking at what was happening to them. Ashley and Kat were now becoming fat. With in seconds they had gone to being very pregnant women and had the legs and the butt to match with it.

"I feel so fat… ooooohhh…" Ashley muttered as she was on her knees.

"I can’t believe this is happening!" Kat muttered as she then looked at her skin. It was changing color to an even brighter pink. "Oh god what is this!"

Ashley had the same reaction as she felt her own ears go way and then end up on the top of her head. She could feel her natural hair disappearing and then she could feel hair all over her body. She was seeing black and white hair grow as her face changed.

"Oh god no!" Tanya cried as her clothes were morphing into a white skirt and a green shirt. She was also growing black fur over her body and then felt her eyes getting bigger. Like the size of pool balls.

Kimberly was no better as her beehive was still there and she was now sporting a designer jacket and several purses. He also felt her own face changing as if there had been a lot of makeup plastered over her face.

Cassie was still going through the worst though. Her ass had stopped growing but now her chest was also becoming bigger. Before she really didn't notice. Now they were the size of softballs. She also saw her shirt shrink down and then become a tight red sleeveless shirt and her pants were tight leather.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" all five cried out before finally the five girls were no longer who they were. They all fell down to the ground unconscious.

"My god!" "What's going on?" "What's happening here?" could be heard through out the crowd.

If the magic spell that I casted and Porto integrated into the instruments for long lasting effect works just as I plan they should be getting up right about… now. Divatox smirked.

It was then the five creatures that had once been teenage girls got up and turned around to face the audience.

It drew gasps of shock from them.

In Kimberly's place was a true shopaholic. She had a designer pink jacket, white vest, pink shirt, black pants, even pink purses. Five of them. Her hair was a now in a pink beehive hairstyle sticking up about 3 feet. Her purple eyes were several times larger than that of a normal person. Like they ones you would see from an anime character

In Tanya's place was one giant skunk. She was at Tanya's height and she was definitely female. She had on white skirt with a green shirt. She had large blue eyes and her hair at the top of her head was in a poof style.

In Kat's place was a female pig. A fat pig. She wore black pants and a blue sweater, which was bulging from the seams because her large potbelly. Her curly tail stuck out in the back. Her face was that of oversized cross between a human head and a pig head. She had a large pig snoot but she had large puffy lips and large blue eyes. Her blond hair was that in a large Afro at the top of witch her big pig ears poked out.

In Ashley's place was a female cow. This one had black pants and a yellow-buttoned sweater… but she was far more fatter than the pig woman had been. The silhouette of utters pressed against the sweater could be seen if one looked carefully enough. Her head was also that of a human/cow mix. She retained the large cow nose with the pink nostrils showing in front but she had human lips below it. Her blue eyes were very large. She also had a bit of hair between her two ears at the top of her head.

Finally, in the place of the person who had been Cassie, was now a provocative woman. She wore tight red leather pants, which were having trouble keeping her enormously sized ass in. It looked like it was on the verge of bursting out of the pants. But that was nothing compared to the front. She wore a tight, spandex, sleeveless shirt, which were trying to hold in her softball spherical boobs. Her head was that of the perfect American girl. Short blond hair, deep large blue eyes, a small nose and the perfectly wide smile that is searched for by many.

"Sound off!" the girl who had been Cassie said.

"Shopincredit Melter!" the shopaholic girl cheered posing.

"Stinkin Striper!" the skunk woman cried got in a pose of her own.

"Horney Porky!" the pig girl oinked and posed in front of the shocked crowd.

"Mootiful Stranger!" the cow gal mooed as she got into a pose.

"And I am Britney Spheres!" the last one said.

"And together we are the Divettes!" they all shouted. "We are out to change the world!"

TJ, Justin, and Carlos could only just stare at what they have just seen.

"Guys… we are in BIG trouble." TJ muttered.
