"Noxic!!!" the voice of the evil Vexor rang out (http://www.rangercentral.com/tokucentral/database/big_bad_beetleborgs/images/bb-vi-vexor.jpg), echoing in his underground lair. He drummed his long ghoulish fingers impatiently as a simpering dreadlocked andriod in a long white vinyl coat emerged from the shadows. (http://www.rangercentral.com/tokucentral/database/big_bad_beetleborgs/images/bb-vi-noxic.jpg)

"Y..y..y..yes boss?"

"I want a monster! And not these failures you have been bringing me recently, I want something that will bring the end of the Beetleborgs, once and for all!"

"Y..you're in luck boss...the new issue of Beetleborgs comic has arrived. Check it out!" 

Noxic held up a comic book, Vexor crossing his arms in disappointment as he saw the picture of a tall curvy skunk girl with emerald green fur with white stripes. Her tail was easily as big as she was and draped behind her, framing her voluptuous form from hips to bosom. All over her body flowers of all colors and types bloomed up right out of her fur, all of them small except for a single large purple flower that grew up from behind her ear. She wore a sly sedcutive smile in the picture, wearing an air of confidence befitting her bursting femininity.

"A skunk? You mean to bring about the demise of my mortal enemies with a mere skunk?"

"Sh...she's not just any skunk boss...she's Fleur de Moufette, the mother of all the Claptraps! She may look cute and fuzzy, but she's got an appetite for Beetleborgs!" Noxic held the comic book out for Vexor to inspect.

Vexor looked above the monster to see two giant flower bulbs attached on long stocks coming out of the side of the skunk. Upon closer inspection the bulbs were just giant maws in the guise of brilliant red and orange flower bulbs, thick rubbery lips lining the mouth as they gnashed hungrily in the picture on the comic book cover.

"We almost defeated the borgs with a single Venus Claptrap flower. If those pesky kids could barely handle one flower, just wait until they meet their queen! Check out those chompers on her back...I bet she could swallow one of those beetle brats in a single gulp!"

"Hmmm you may have a point...for once," Vexor said, rubbing his chin.

"Fleur de Moufette, arise!!" Vexor's energy axis shot a bolt of purple energy into the comic book, the picture of the skunk monster wobbling and rising out from the page. The 2D image floated through the air slowly at first, then shot out of the villain's lair fluttering its way towards the town of Charterville.

********************

In the belly of the draconic megazord "Serpentera" orbiting Earth, Rita Repulsa was looking through her telescope at the planet below. (http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-vi-rita.jpg)  Having been evicted from Rita and Lord Zedd’s own castle by King Mondo and the Machine Empire, she was down on her luck and looking for an easy victory. Having heard of another suburban town with potential for a monstrous invasion, she now set her sights on the town of Charterville looking for a clue that would help her take over the town and get revenge on King Mondo. 

Wherever she looked, Rita saw people of the town reading the new Beetleborgs comic. She couldn't help but notice the skunk creature on the cover of the comic, but more pointedly she saw three armored heroes cowering in fear below two giant snapping plant jaws.

"Zedd!" Rita screeched, "I just had the greatest idea to bring down this little town of Charterville!"

"Yes my queen?" Lord Zedd replied. (http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-vi-zedd.jpg)

"The whole town has their noses pressed to the page of that stupid comic book. Well I think it's time we make their dreams come true and bring their worst nightmares to life!"

"An excellent idea my dear...first we destroy Chaterville, destroy the Machine Empire, finish where we left off with those pathetic Power Rangers, then we will finally conquer Earth!"

The two shared a long cackle as they held their staves together; creating sparks then a bolt of white lightning that shot downward toward the planet below.

******************

In a wooded area outside of the valley town of Charterville, an ominous apparition of a skunk monster floated through the air. The 2D image floated around, looking for a clear place to land. Suddenly a bolt of white lightning shot out from above and struck the image, exploding in a blinding shower of purple and silver sparks. 

As the dust cleared, a tall feminine form appeared in the woods below stretching out as the shadow of a long bushy tail swished about behind her. (http://forceswerwolf.deviantart.com/art/FLEUR-DE-MOUFETTE-86158017)

"Bonjour au monde!"

The sky was blue, the earth was warm, and the fragrant smell of blooming flowers filled the air. The sweet voice of the feminine skunk monster echoed through the trees. Her luxurious green fur matched the color of the forest around her, shimmering in the intermittent light that beamed through the canopy. She sashayed along spryly, her hips swaying showing off her voluptuous frame and ample breasts. 

"Ahhhh....J'adore le printemps!"

Her giant bushy tail bounced along behind her, swishing back and forth and spreading a fine golden dust into the air. 

Behind her two giant flower bulbs with thick rubbery lips bobbed along, attached by long green stalks which allowed the to undulate around the skunk like two writhing eels.

The creature spotted a particularly lovely string of red flowers and stopped in her tracks, wringing her paws together and letting out a giddy scream.

"Snapdragons!" the emerald furred skunk exclaimed as she bounded over and stuck her rosy pink nose into a particularly long bloom.

"Oh aren't you so pretty mon petite fleur," she cooed as her paws caressed the flowers softly, stroking each bloom and raking her claws gently across the petals.

The skunk shook her head, her long blonde hair flowing side to side as the purple flower behind her ear began to release more yellow dust, falling over the snapdragons like a golden snow. The flower shivered as it was coated in the fine yellow dust, then began to change. Tiny rows of teeth began to appear in the middle of each flower. Within moments, the string of flowers had turned into a bloom of little gnashing mouths. Their tiny teeth clacked together as the whole plant was affected, the leaves coming to life and flailing around looking for something to hold onto.

"Don't we look lovely now? Oh and I bet you're hungry little darlings," Fleur said, petting each one gently with her plump green paws. Taking a last deep whiff of her fragrant creations, the skunk stood up and sauntered into the foliage, her tail spreading her special pollen and leaving a trail of snapping flowers and flailing vines its wake.

Fleur stopped in a large patch of wildflowers, bending over to run her paws through the petals while lifting her tail high releasing a thick cloud of pollen into the air. The emerald skunk stood and watched as the dust settled, the meadow filling with the sound of a thousand tiny snapping mouths.

"Music to my ears!"

Suddenly two separate glowing lights flashed in front of Fleur's eyes, one like a hole in the ground and another like a blob of energy in the air, separated by 10 feet. From each appeared two figures, four in total, teleporting into the meadow on opposite sides of the skunk monster.

"Why did you not respond to your commands? You will do my bidding or else!" the tall cloaked Magnavore Vexor growled, flanked by his stuttering minion Noxic.

"What are you doing here you overgrown stalagtite?!" Rita's shrill voice barked out as she stood next to her husband Lord Zedd.

"Who are you?!? It's no matter - soon you'll meet your end at the paws of my latest creation...Fleur, devour these pests!"

"YOUR creation?" Zedd growled, "That skunk is ours! Monster, destroy these intruders!"

"Obey you? I think not! Get them, mon jolie fleurs!" Fleur's brow knit in anger, crossing her arms and glaring at her adversaries.

The bed of flowers the four villains stood in started to move, each bloom baring a set of teeth and starting to snap at the their ankles.

"Ow! Hey! Get 'em off me!" Noxic lifted his knees trying to step out of the gnashing maws, nipping at his heels by the dozens.

"Don't be shy mon fleurs...their blood will make you grow up strong!" Fleur laughed and released another cloud of pollen into the air, this time a fine green dust that settled into the ground as Vexor, Noxic, Zedd and Rita tried to back away out of the flower patch.

"That combined jolts of energy from each of you at the same time gave me the power to break the bonds you silly animals tried to place on me. Now I am free of both of you! But don't go away just yet mon amis...mon fleurs are just dying to meet you."

"What's this? I can't move!" Zedd growled, looking down to see thick woody roots growing up out of the ground and wrapping tightly around his feet.  He tried to use his Z-staff to break free, but one of Fleur’s giant flower maws dove in and snatched it out of his hands, and snapping it in half with its powerful jaws.

"What is the meaning of this?" Vexor shouted. 

"Let me go at once!" 

"You'll pay for this!" 

The villains all yelled as all four were stuck fast with roots growing up past their ankles."

"Non...I think it is you who will be serving me!" 

Fleur lifted her paw into the air, making a dozen long thin vines shoot up from the ground around her prey and start to wrap around their bodies. Helpless to escape, the four could only watch as the vines bound arms to their sides and wrapped around their necks. 

"You're going to let a petite fleur like me beat you big tough villains?" Fleur smiled as she strutted up to Zedd, rubbing his chin with a soft furred paw and planting a kiss on his mouth grill, making Zedd roar with anger. She pinched each one in the cheek, letting her tail swish and bap against each of them in a line while reveling in their helplessness.

The vines kept leaping out of the ground, one after another while the thick woody roots worked their way up their captive's legs. The villains were soon muffled by thick vines wrapping over their mouths, and before long the vines had cocooned each from head to toe, with only a small slit for the eyes and nose left untouched. The four vined mummies struggled and screamed muffled insults into their cocoons, only making the femme skunk laugh in amusement.

"You never were much for villains...you'll make much better plant food I'm sure!" 

A dozen more vines shot out from the center of the flower patch, wrapping around each cocoon's shoulders and pulling them down like a falling tree, closer and closer to the bed of snapping flowers.

"My beauties deserve a better meal than you, but your energy will make them grow up nice and strong. I'll be back for you later once you've been drained completely. My babies will be so happy to gobble your lifeless bodies up in one bite," Fleur said, patting one of the giant plant maws, which licked its lips hungrily with a large wet tongue.

"I know you'll make lovely decorations on my body, just like all these others did!" Fleur touched a red flower on her hip making it quiver and tighten its petals.

"Today is a wonderful day! Today is the day that Fleur de Moufette sprouts and blooms and takes over the world! Soon the world will be my own perfect Eden!"

"Not so fast!"

Three Beetleborgs stepped out into the clearing, red, green and blue metallic suits glimmering in the sunlight. (http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/beetleborgcentral/images/bbbbsigned.jpg)

"Guys, it's time to prune this weed! Sonic Lasers!" three laser blasts shot out narrowly missing the skunk, singeing her tail as she jumped out of the way.

"How rude! You Beetleborgs have no manners," Fleur said matter of factly, looking unconcerned with the threat in front of her. "Here, let me introduce you to my pets!"

The two giant flower bulbs hovering above the skunk opened their maws wide, long waggling tongues licking thick rubbery lips. They rose up high in the air, like a snake poised to attack. Fleur strode forward towards the Blue beetleborg, gazing seductively to distract the hero long enough for her flower to attack. The giant bulb struck with lightning quickness, but the blue borg was too quick and dove out of the way as the bulb slammed into the ground mouth first.

"Oooh we have a feisty one here!" Fleur wrung her hands in delight "I shall look forward to eating you most of all! You'll make such a lovely blue bloom on my body!"

"We gotta take out those heads!" Jo, the red beetleborg yelled out, taking cover behind a tree. The other borgs followed, finding cover and shooting at the monster while doing their best to avoid the heads, who now snaked around wildly in the air looking for the next opportunity to strike.

"You are all far too overdressed for this affair...how can I get close to you if you're inside those silly metals outfits of yours?"

Fleur casually turned and stuck her rump out, starting to shake it as a golden brown dust filled the air, quick flicks of the bushy green tail sending plumes of thick pollen towards the borgs. They found themselves in the middle of a cloud, as suddenly a sizzling sound filled their ears.

"It's burning through our suits!" Roland the green borg exclaimed as the three writhed and backed away as quick as they could.

"Don't go away mon amis!" Fleurs sweet voice rang out through the dust, her form suddenly appearing in front of the blue beetleborg. She held out her paws, two thick ropey vines shooting out, wrapping around the borg's chest and dragging him into the skunk's waiting arms.

"Drew!" Jo cried out, but as she approached a gnashing flower head snapped down at her, forcing her to fall back and take cover.

"Oooh aren't you such a cute little thing! Why don't you come here and give me a kiss..." She pulled the struggling borg, taking his shoulders in her paws and pulling him into her furry embrace. The skunk's giant tail curled around his back.

"Ahhh...get away from me!" Drew pushed and writhed trying to break the vines wrapping his shoulders. The skunk leaned in and planted a smooch on the borg's helmet, hugging him tight. Drew could feel the monster's tail pressed against him like a giant pillow squashing him against the skunk's large furred breasts, any struggles or punches he threw were rendered harmless by the enveloping softness.

 Fleur said, her paws wrapped around his rear while she shook he tail. Drew could see the tail flowers from up close now, watching as dozens of tiny pink flowers exploded into a fine pink dust around him.

"Just take a deep breath and you'll feel much better." Fleur said, her paws exploring the borg's body teasingly.

"No one can resist my love pollen...just one whiff and you'll lose all desire to do anything but be with me; you'll be like putty in my claws."

"Never!" Drew held his breath and fought with all his strength. The vines burst open with a loud crack, the blue beetleborg wasting no time as he jumped and gave the monster a powerful kangaroo kick in the stomach. They both flew backwards, the blue beetleborg rolling to his feet and taking cover behind a large tree.

"Drew, are you alright?" Jo and Roland rallied around their teammate, firing off laser shots to keep the skunk's heads at bay.

"Yeah...luckily the armor protects us from her pollen."

"She's more powerful than I thought!" Roland said.

"Yeah...we gotta get a plan or we're going to end up as flowers on her body!"

"I know!" Jo, the red borg said. "I'll distract her while you two sneak behind her and concentrate fire on one head...if we can get one down, we can beat her!"

"Are you sure Jo?"

"Yeah don't worry about me!"

Jo ran out in the open, waving her arms and shooting her laser at the monster as Roland and Drew snuck off behind her into the brush.

 "Hey look at me you dumb flower!"

Fleur turned and saw the red beetleborg, her heads turning as well to face her, tongues panting hungrily.

"Oh you've decided to come and play with me? How wonderful! My babies will have to fight over who gets to devour you."

"You'll have to come get me first!" Jo yelled, firing two shots and retreating. As she turned to run, Jo found her feet stuck fast to the ground. Looking down, she saw thick woody roots had grown over her feet.

"You weren't going anywhere, now were you mon amour? There's no need to rush...we have plenty of time to get acquainted!" Fleur smiled deviously and strolled slowly towards the rooted red Beetleborg, clucking her tongue in mock disapproval.

"You heroes are so cowardly, hiding behind your masks and armor and attacking poor helpless girls like moi," the skunk said, ambling up to the red beetleborg. Jo pulled and strained at the roots, but they were too strong and growing longer with each passing moment. Fleur walked up to her and put her arm around the borg affectionately, clinging tightly and resisting all of Jo's attempts to push away from the skunk monster. 

"Now before you become a meal for my pets, I want to see what's under that mask."

Jo saw a shadow fall over her face. She looked up and saw a giant maroon maw, realizing she was looking directly into the mouth of the monster's man-eating flower bulb. She braced herself as the bulb slammed into her engulfing her shoulders and clamping down around her chest. It was like being chewed by a giant head of cabbage, the tight leafy maw sucking and tightening its grip on her. Jo grunted and writhed ad she pressed outwards trying to escape, but even with her enhanced powers the mouth wouldn't budge. She couldn't see a thing inside the head, but could feel the peristaltic motion of the throat pulling her deeper in slow powerful waves. Jo screamed and lashed out with her armored gloves, but the plant just stretched to dampen her blows. Just when Jo thought she was going to be sucked in for sure, the maw loosened its grip and slid back up her body, clamping around her neck like a vice. She felt an incredible pressure and was deafened by the loud snapping of her helmet and felt it being torn from her head. Jo gasped and realized that her face was exposed, knowing that she wouldn't be protected from the monster's harmful pollen. She looked up fearfully at the skunk, but to her surprise Fleur wore a look of pure elation and surprise.

"Oh! What's this! Mon jolie petit amie! You are so cute!" Fleur held her mouth with her paws, barely able to contain her excitement. 

Jo looked on with mouth agape, not knowing how to react.

"How could I possible eat such a cute little girl like you!" Fleur rushed up and took Jo in her arms, pinching her rosy pink cheeks and hugging her head against her breasts. Jo felt the soft fur of the monster on her face as it pressed into her, catching her scent and realizing that the skunk smelled strongly of grass and roses, a perfume which caught Jo's attention at how surprisingly pleasant it was.

"Such beauty cannot be wasted by becoming a petite fleur on my breast," Fleur said taking Jo's chin in her paw and kissing her all over her cheeks and forehead.

"No...such a beautiful little girl will make an even lovelier claptrap flower!" Fleur's excitement worried Jo, trying hard to pull away from the skunk's smothering hug. She was met with a wall of fur, a giant poofy tail smacking right into Jo's face as she tried to turn from the monster.

"Oh! I did not know you liked my tail so much!" Fleur giggled teasingly, grabbing the sides of the tail in her paws and pulling the mass of fur against the red beetleborg. Jo was engulfed in soft plush fur, her struggles and blows again dampened as she sunk into the billowy mass.

"Take a deep whiff mon petite amour. My flowers create such enchanting scents no?"

Powerful smells filled Jo's exposed nostrils, a potpourri of different aromas from pungent to sweet and everywhere in between. Jo's head spun with intense sensations, literally knocking her back and making her dizzy and unable to think clearly. Before she could reach a strong paw grabbed the back of her head and forced it back into the tail.

"That's it mon amour...there's no reason to fight. Just one more deep breath and you'll be germinated with my pollen and your mind will belong to me!"

Laser fire screeched out from the forest striking the skunk's exposed back and narrowly missing the base of the bulb's stalk.

"Roland, she's got Jo! We got to save her!!" Drew yelled.

"Give her up, skunk breath!" the green bettleborg said, firing another two shots trying to avoid hitting his teammate, but missing wide right.

"Pesky flies...my pets shall gobble you up!"

The flower heads gnashed and dove in unison at Drew and Roland, but they knew to stay far away and ducked behind trees while looking for a clear shot.

"Mon petite ami and I need time to bond...my sticky pollen will keep you from ruining this little flower's germination!"

Fleur hugged the woozy Jo between her breasts, then lifted her tail high into the air and started shaking. Dozens of orange and yellow spotted flowers opened up and began spewing thick yellow pollen into the air. In seconds it become a thick fog. Drew and Roland watched from afar as Fleur and Jo disappeared inside. They fired their lasers and rushed forward to pursue the skunk, but as they ran into the cloud it felt like a wall of cotton, slowing them down to a crawl.

"What is this? It's gumming up my joints!" Roland exclaimed, watching the heavy yellow pollen glom onto his suit, covering it in a thick gooey coating. Flailing about helplessly, the two were forced to retreat from the cloud and try to scrape the sticky pollen from their armor.

"That should take care of those insects. Now mon amour, it's time for you to bloom into a beautiful claptrap."

Jo was barely aware, her head swimming with the captivating scent of the monster tapping into a deep seated part of her brain connecting certain smells and emotions. In her mind, Jo was peacefully lying in a meadow of green grass and wildflowers without a care in the world. She didn't notice as the tail wrapped around her and she was pushed back into it, suddenly reclining in the soft mass. She looked up at Fleur's smiling face and felt a feeling of being loved, like this creature would never do her any harm.

Fleur stroked the large purple flower behind her ear, which produced a large brown seed the size of a tennis ball but slightly more oblong.

"Open wide mon amour...let's get this seed planted deep inside that cute little tummy of yours." 

Not realizing what she was doing, Jo opened her mouth obediently. Fleur shoved the seed in forcefully, gagging Jo and making her sputter. The skunk's paw just pressed it in deeper until it disappeared into the girl's very full mouth. Jo choked, then swallowed as a very visible seed shape could be seen traveling down her throat into her belly. The purple flower then produced another seed which was stuffed into Jo's mouth again, this time going down quicker leaving her gasping for air as it plopped into her stomach. 

"You're going to need lots of love and attention to grow, just like any flower! Soon you will be pumped full of my special claptrap fertilizer. Once all that ugly humanness of yours is gone, you'll be ready to bloom as a perfect little claptrap!"

Fleur hugged Jo to her bosom again, smothering her in the skunk's arms. A fine amber colored pollen began showering from the sky onto Jo. The metal of her armor immediately began to rust, crumbling into a deep brown powder before crumbling and falling off her body. Jo could now feel the soft fur of Fleur's pelt pressing against her from head to toe, completely exposed. Fleur wrapped her arms around the naked girl, holding her tightly and wrapping her tail around Jo's backside to keep it warm. 

"Nooooo!!!" Jo's conscious mind finally broke free as her panic overpowered the pollen's hold on her. "Help me!!"

"Jo? Is that you?" 

The pollen had finally settled as Drew and Roland came flying out of the woods.

"One..two...three...now!!" the two beetleborgs took aim and fired at the skunk, who was still distracted with her catch. 

The lasers struck true, hitting the base of one of the bulb's vine stalks and severing it completely as the head fell to the ground with a dying screech and lay motionless in the dirt.

"My babies!" Fleur screamed in agony, turning to face her attackers. "You'll pay for that insult."

"You're not so tough without your guard flowers to protect you. Now give us back Jo!" Drew yelled as he began firing as the remaining head, zapping it and knocking it back while it undulated in the air angrily and snapped at the blue borg.

Roland decided to use the distraction to his advantage, keeping an eye on the remaining head while rushing in to pull Jo free of the monster's grasp. 

Suddenly, two more plant heads grew out from behind the skunk where the first had been cut. Roland didn't have time to react as one of the new heads spotted him and lunged towards him. With a loud glomp the maw clamped down over the green borg's head and shoulders, pinning his arms to the side with its thick powerful lips as a slimy tongue began to lick the borg's face.

The green borg's screams were muffled by the giant plant head as it sucked and chewed on the borg greedily, forcing itself down to Roland's waist as the slimy tongue bath prevented him from fighting back. He tried to wrench his body and break free, but the hungry mouth held him tightly and sucked him deeper into its throat. Roland tried to stop the head by digging his feet into the ground, but the plant only responding by pulling him off the ground, flipping his legs into the air. Green beetleborg legs kicked helplessly as the maw tilted itself upwards and let gravity do the rest, chewing and savoring its struggling meal as Roland was swallowed whole into the giant plant mouth. The maw sucked the last foot and sealed up completely, a giant tongue licking its rubbery lips.

Inside, Roland was pulled past the tongue and the squishy moist confines of the mouth, then was treated to a painfully constricting hug as a tremendous force pulled him a long tube, stretching it out as he travelled deeper and deeper.

"Mmmmm....you beetleborgs are sooo tasty! I love how your friend feels squirming in my stalk like that...ooh!"

Fleur couldn't help herself and began rubbing her own nipples in small circles as a Roland-shape bulge made its way slowly down the vine shaft towards Fleur's body. She rubbed the borg's writhing form as it approached her, pulling the vine around and hugging the lump to her chest, planting a kiss on the featureless bulge. She let him go then watched as he was pulled into her body, squeezing into the skunk through her back. 

"Mmmmm...Oh he's the yummiest little human...such energy in such a small size...magnifique!" 

Fleur rubbed up and down her body, tweaking her nipples with one paw while she rubbed her belly with the other. Surprisingly her form didn't grow at all, but stayed the same shapely feminine form. 

"A lovely meal deserves a lovely memento!" Fleur rubbed a spot on the side of her belly where a large green chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed from her fur, the same shade of green as the Roland's armor.

"Don't you think he looks better as a flower?" Fleur showed off the bloom prominently, the petals shivering at her touch as if alive.

"Roland!" the blue beetleborg made a jumping roll to get behind the skunk, taking aim and shooting another volley of shots. Two direct hits and another head stalk was severed, the massive bulb falling dead to the ground with a resounding thud.

"No matter how often you nasty humans cut us down, we plants will always grow back! Let's see if your friend likes being a hungry flower bulb and serving his mistress like an obedient pet."

Fleur rubbed her belly and then the green flower disappeared into her fur as suddenly as it had appeared. From behind the skunk two more heads grew out of the remnants of the last stalk, only this time one was red with orange flairs like the others, but one was a brilliant green with silver flairs, a perfect replica of Roland's armor. Each head grew up and snapped at the air mindlessly, the plant head showing no sign of any recognition of its former friends.

Drew watched on in horror as the four plant heads swirled around Fleur protectively as she clung tightly to a struggling demorphed Jo. As Drew decided what to do next, he heard the sound of cinching rope below him and looked down to see that vines were growing up around his legs. He tugged hard and managed to break free, snapping the vines into splinters. Backing away Drew kept his eyes on the ground for and more vines, looking up just in time to see a small brown football-shaped seed hurling towards him. It clanged as it smacked into the blue borg's shoulder, sticking to him like glue. Drew reached up to tear it off, but the seed sprang roots and began to dig into his armor. Horrified, Drew pulled with all his might but the seed was rooted too deep, making him yell out in pain feeling it working its way under his skin.

Fleur held Jo in the crook of her arm letting her watch the last hero standing struggle ineffectually against the seed attached to the side of his neck. She kicked against the skunk's grip, tears streaming down her face watching as Drew withed and bucked, and then stopped. At the top of the seed, a single blue flower grew and the beetleborg stood completely still.

Inside his head, Drew could still see hear and feel, but no matter how hard he struggled he couldn't move his body an inch. He tried screaming out but no noise came, he just stood and stared at the skunk monster, who just glared back at him with a devious look in her eye.

"How do you like my mind seed mon petite garcon? It's my special breed of the rafflesia flower, a cute little parasite which gives me complete control over you. Now come here."

Drew started walked towards the skunk in spite of himself, filling with fear inside but unable to do anything to stop it. He came to a halt in front of Fleur, standing at attention.

"There she is...let's get her!" Vexor's two (clueless) minions, Typhus and Jara, appeared out of the woods, coming at the skunk.

"Get them, blue beetleborg!" Fleur commanded. Drew rushed at the two minions and attacked with a flying kick.

"You two will join your master as part of my new garden of Eden!" the skunk's eyes glowed green with power, glaring menacingly at Typhus and Jara. Out of the ground beneath them erupted a solid cone of roots under each minion, growing up their bodies in seconds covering each of them in a stiff woody trunk. 

"What is the meaning of this? Whose side are you on anyways?" Jara shrieked.

The wooden roots worked their way up past the chest, changing to wrap each arm in a long branch while the main stalk continued upwards. Within a minute neither minion could move, only the top half faces sticking out of a hole, effectively preventing them from speaking. The column grew up eight feet and sprouted several more branches trapping the minions completely inside their tree prison.

"Ooh la la...don't you too look maginfique! Aren't you lucky that your energy will be siphoned out slowly to make that tree grow green and lush? Soon you'll even bear fruit filled with your stolen life force. You shall both be the centerpiece in my garden!"

Jara and Typhus muttered into their woody cocoons with worried looks in their eyes as Fleur turned her attention to Drew.

"I want you to go summon these Power Rangers my blue blossom. Tell them there is trouble and lead them here."

"Yes mistress," the blue beetleborg said flatly and ran off to use his communicator.
 
"Now we are alone, oui? It's time to prepare you to become mon jolie claptrap flower!" Fleur looked at Jo and raised her eyebrows seductively. Jo had regained some of her senses and was struggling in the skunk's arms.

"Let me go! I'll never become your flower pet!" 

"Oh see how she fights...but fighting only makes the success all the more fun! Let's see how you do with a little sprinkle of my love pollen."
 
Fleur lifted her tail and dusted Jo in a sparking purple pollen, making her sneeze as it rained down onto her. She felt pins and needles all over her body and every sense felt heightened. 

"Do you feel it? Without your armor my pollen will bathe you in my essence, absorbing into you as you become more and more like the claptrap you were meant to be."

Jo backed up, looking at herself and gasping. Small leaves began to sprout from her skin in spare patches.

"W..what's happening to me?"

"Don't be scared mon cheri..." 

Fleur stood at Jo's side and wrapped her arm around. Jo only struggled weakly as the pollen was beginning to make her feel woozy. Her giant skunk tail wrapped around the front. Fleur then hugged it to her chest with Jo in between, rubbing her face in her breasts while the tail coated Jo in purple pollen.

Suddenly the monster's tail shivered, then split vertically in the very middle of the top of the tail, right between the two white skunk stripes. As it opened, the sides unfolded to reveal a sea of pencil-thick red stalks topped by globular orbs of a shiny viscous material. Jo recognized the features as that of a sundew, a carnivorous plant she learned about at school. 

Jo struggled to get away but Fleur's paws pushed hard, forcing her into the waiting tendrils of the sundew. At first a few tendrils attached, then more and more as she was fighting a losing battle against the will of the skunk. 

The helpless beetleborg screamed out of frustration as with one last shove Fleur stuffed her into the mass of sundew tendrils, engulfing her completely. The last thing Jo saw was the smile on the skunk's muzzle as the sundew tendrils enveloped her and pulled her into the warm moist mass. The tail slowly closed, the last tendrils sticking themselves to the remaining spots of exposed flesh, sealing up behind her and leaving a slight bulge in the skunk's bushy tail as the only sign that she was ever there.

Inside, Jo was being crushed by the tight fleshy embrace of the tail's interior while a thousand points of acid were burning her skin. She cried out in agony, but the tail muffled her pleas. Suddenly, she felt something crawling across her neck...then up her chin before a large flower bulb forced itself into her mouth then blossomed to create an irremovable gag. Jo then felt two vines crawling up her legs. She tried to scream at the top of her lungs but the gag kept her from making a peep. She felt the endless sea of sticky tendrils caressing her, undulating and rubbing across her skin spreading slime evenly from head to toe. She tried to squirm away but couldn't avoid it as the persistent stalks kept rubbing almost pleasantly now over her skin. Jo shed a tear in frustration, hating how good this all felt now as the burning had subsided to a full body numb.

"It won't be long now mon amour. My tail will soon pump you full of my plant essence. The poison sundew slime will help break down that human form of yours, and will harden to make the shell of your seed." 

Fleur stroked her tail as she talked to Jo, the small bulge quivering. She smiled, having defeated the Beetleborgs completely. And soon the rangers would be the next to fall into her trap.

****************

"Voila! All done!"

After 20 minutes had gone by, the bulge in the skunk's tail had shrunk until it was no longer noticable. The tail split open, the sundew stalks lifting a football-sized seed from the center where the red Beetleborg used to be.

"Now it's time to get you planted!"

Fleur took the seed in a paw and leaned over, inspecting the earth. The skunk dug out a hole with her paws, carefully placing the seed within and scooping dirt on top, giving it an affectionate pat to pack it down.

Within seconds, the ground began to rumble and shake as a bud sprouted up from the ground and grew a foot tall, blossoming into a three petaled red flower, the edges and tip lined with sharp yellow teeth. In the center of the flower was a round opening with six teeth lining the rim of the inside.

Fleur kneeled down and pet the little flower's petals. She poked a clawed finger into the hole in the center, the flower's mouth reaching out and biting the finger. The petals fluttered as the mouth nibbled the skunk's finger, sucking on it and trying to pull it in further.

"Oooh you have such a powerful bite mon petite fleu! With every feeding your instincts will grow stronger, then you will blossom into a mature Venus Claptrap and the human part of you will be gone forever.

The flower shivered, stopping its nibbling and letting go of the skunk's finger. Inside Jo was still partially conscious of what was going on, though it was tough to think anything coherent past the overwhelming desire to pull things into her mouth and feed. She shut her petals tight; the remaining human side of her knowing what would happen if she did eat anything and grow stronger.

"You'll start small with bugs and small animals...when you're full grown you'll get to try the most delicious meal of all...human flesh!" 

Jo smelled a fly coming, her petals opening and closing trying to pick up the scent before automatically snapping shut and swallowing it down. Jo was horrified that it had been such an automatic reflect, but even more scared at how it just made her want more.

"Let's get you something with a little more meat, hmmm?"

Fleur stood up and lifted her tail, shaking it vigorously releasing a tan colored pollen that filled the air in a fine dust. In seconds, birds and squirrels began to drop from the trees onto the ground, twitching and paralyzed. The skunk picked a baby bird up between her fingers and held it over Jo. Her petals fluttered excitedly as she couldn't help herself...she wanted it so bad.

"Oooh look how eager to devour this creature my little claptrap is!" Fleur chirped and dropped the twitching bird into the waiting maw of the flower. Jo's teeth bit into the bird and her petals snapped tight. Crunching and slurping sounds filled the air while the petals undulated, helping pull the flower's prey into her maw. The petals opened back up as a small bulge made its way down the plant's stalk and into the ground. As soon as it disappeared, the little flower shivered and grew ten percent bigger.

Jo felt a surge of energy as she filled with a feeling of enjoyment. Her human mind caught herself and tried to chastise herself for eating that poor helpless bird. But as soon as the thought faded the powerful hunger returned. She wanted more. Her petals sensed meat, snapping in the direction the scents were wafting from.

Fleur smiled as she held in her arms a pile of paralyzed forest creatures.

"It's feeding time, my baby! Let's see if we can get you big enough to greet the Power Rangers when they arrive."

******************

"This way guys! Quickly!"

The Zeo Rangers, Kat, Tanya, Rocky, Adam, Jason, and Tommy all followed the blue beetleborg through the forest toward Fleur's position.

"There isn't much time! The monster already got Roland and Jo!" The rangers wondered why the beetleborg had a flower attached to the side of his neck, but assumed it was from fighting with the plant monster that he had described to him when he called for emergency assistance.

They arrived in the clearing Drew had described, but it was completely empty.

"This is where we fought. We should split up and search for them, they can't be far. Rocky, you should come with me while the rest of you go look over there for her. And don't forget, her weak spot is the giant plant heads attached to her tail. If you cut them off, she'll lose her powers."

"Right!"

The two groups split up, the blue beetleborg and blue Zeo Ranger heading off together while the others ran in the opposite direction.

Drew led them to another clearing 100 yards away, running ahead and stopping in the middle and turning to face Rocky who was following close behind.

"What is it Drew? Do you see something?"

"Yes...I see the perfect plant food!"

Before Rocky could react the blue beetleborg rushed forward and slammed into the ranger, shoving him back off his feet and onto the ground.

"Hey! What was that for?" Rocky looked up at Drew, who just stood staring at him with his hands on his hips. The blue ranger went to get up when suddenly he felt a rope wrap around his neck and start to drag him back.

"Ack...It’s got me! Drew...help!" Rocky cried out as he was dragged on his back across the dirt. Drew didn't budge an inch taking a step forward with his hands still on his hips.

"You will make the perfect meal for my mistress' claptrap bloom." Drew said in a monotone.

"What???" Rocky yelled, but he realized all too late. He tugged back hard on the tug, turning himself around to see where he was being dragged. To his shock he saw a giant three-petaled flower as big around as a manhole cover with a large toothy hole in the center. A slimy red tentacle was coming out of the flower's 'mouth' and had wrapped around his neck and was now pulling him right towards the gnashing maw. The red flower's petals opened and closed baring its teeth while two smaller vines came out of base of the stalk, like two long arms which reached out for the prone ranger.

Rocky reached for his laser blaster, but felt an incredible pain on his hand from a laser blast from behind.

"You will not harm my mistress' plants...they are part of a new Eden on Earth." Drew said robotically. He held out his gun and pointed it at Rocky's chest.

"If you resist, I will shoot you, blue ranger."

Rocky was shocked, and was completely stumped as to what he should do. Taking advantage of his distracted attention, the flower jerked itself backwards, pulling Rocky back like a fish on a fishing rod, being dragged through the dirt. The ranger tried to push back but he was moving too fast and couldn't get a good footing.

The flower's viney appendages suddenly shot out, wrapping around each of the blue ranger's wrists. Rocky was jerked backwards forcefully, looking back just in time to see the giant red maw of the flower closing over his head.

Jo clamped down tight, conflicted inside whether or not she wanted to eat this one. She didn't recognize him, so the emotional connection did not allow the former borg to overcome the overwhelming desire to devour the prey. 

The teeth of the flower's petals clamped down over Rocky's face and chest, biting hard into his uniform. The plant held the ranger's wrists out to the side painfully and pulled back hard, lifting him up while the flower's two large bottom petals slid underneath. 

"Yum yum! You taste good!" the flower opened its petals as Rocky heard the flower's central mouth speak. It almost sounded like...

"Jo? Is that you? Don't eat me Jo...remember who you ar-mmmmpphhh!" It was too late as Jo's powerful carnivorous instincts took over. Having this much fresh meat so close sent her into a frenzy, wanting nothing else but to incapacitate and devour her helpless prey. 

Rocky's leg's kicked hard as Jo slowly pressed him towards her maw, chomping her teeth over and over letting the ranger watch her mouth come closer and closer. With one powerful tug on the tongue around the ranger's neck, Rocky's head was forced into the flower's gnashing maw. 

The ranger heard the crack of the teeth biting into his helmet and an incredible slurping sound of the plant's body pulling him in. The thick rubbery petals clamped down hard down over his chest and stomach, making Rocky scream in pain from being bitten into. The petals squeezed Rocky like a vice grip, leaving only his legs sticking out and kicking into the air spastically.

Inch by inch, the flower slurped and chewed the ranger down. As Rocky was squeezed through the tight mouth of the flower he felt himself pulled down sharply into the throat, making him double over as he was swallowed. He could feel the monster's teeth working down his body slowly, the petals rubbing back and forth over his feet tasting them one last time before they slid down the plant's throat.

 Jo arched her petals back, flinging Rocky's feet into the air and revealing a large round bulb flecked with red and attached to the base of the petals. Though round as it was the flower was still relatively small compared to her large meal, and soon Rocky's face could be seen pressing out of the walls as he made the bulb stretch out wide like a rubber sack to contain him. He struggled and writhed but it was too little too late. The flower used its vine appendages to stuff the last of the blue ranger into her tiny gnashing mouth, slurping him up completely. The mouth smiled and let out a long 'Mmmmmmmmmm', feeling her prey squirm inside her. Rocky was forced into a fetal position, feeling the vines prod and rub him through the walls of his prison. He felt a sticky material seeping through the walls of the belly, a warm burning sensation on his skin told him that the uniform was being melted away.

On the outside Jo's vines rubbed what had turned into a very full belly, her petals fluttering slowly. Jo had completely lost her self in the primal urges, feeling an intense primitive positive feeling compelling her to find more, devour more.
In the meantime, she was content to just digest her prey, so focused on enjoying her meal that she didn't notice herself start to grow...

****************************************************

"There she is!"

The remaining five rangers came running after Fleur, who was skipping through a lightly wooden glen spreading a fine pollen into the air.

"Come back here Fleur! We're about to prune you down to size like the weed you are."

The skunk stopped casually and turned to face the rangers.

"What's this? More plant food for my garden? How sweet of you!"

Fleur's four bulbous heads came to life, flailing around wildly in the air while opening their jaws menacingly.

"Come my babies...it's time to feed!" Fleur said, rushing towards the rangers. The four scattered and pulled out their blasters, firing at the heads as they bobbed and ducked out of the way while trying to snap at the heroes.

"How perfect! Five of you, four hungry flowers to swallow you; and my lovely Claptrap monster to devour the last ranger!"

"Keep moving guys! Don't let those heads get a lock on you!" Tanya, the yellow ranger warned as she wondered what claptrap the skunk was talking about.

Fleur lifted her tail high in the air and shook it violently, sending a giant plume of pollen into the air. The rangers backed away but the cloud quickly overtook them. 

"It's acid!" sparks flew everywhere knocking all the rangers back onto the ground in a writhing heap.

Fleur skipped along nonchalantly through the pollen unharmed, coming upon the yellow ranger. 

"Oooh! You'd make a cute claptrap too!"

The skunk spun around and flicked her tail, making it scoop under the prone ranger and wrap around her back. It lifted her up and wrapped around her body once, engulfing her in its billowy mass. Tanya groaned in pain as the tail squeezed her tight and lifted her to her feet. She winced at the burning pain of the pollen eating through her protective uniform.

Suddenly a giant green bulb maw came flying from behind the skunk and slammed down over the yellow ranger's head, clamping down above her neck and ripping her helmet off in one smooth motion and spitting it in the dirt 15 feet away. Tanya looked up in shock to see the skunk holding two coconut sized seeds in her paws. Without a word she shoved the seeds into her mouth, constricting her tail around the ranger when she resisted. Finally Tanya couldn't take it anymore and screamed out in pain, giving Fleur the opportunity to shove the seed down her throat. Tanya gagged and struggled hard but Fleur kept forcing it deeper until it disappeared into her throat traveled down into her stomach. 

To add insult to injury the skunk shoved another coconut sized seed into Tanya's mouth, the shell shocked ranger not resisting this time as the second seed traveled down her throat into her belly. As soon as she was done, the tail wrapped itself one more time around the yellow ranger constricting her like a snake and covering her face.

Suddenly the gold and green rangers came jumping out through the pollen with swords drawn and slashed at the base of the the skunk's tail-maws. Two red and orange flecked bulbs dropped to the ground writhing death throes in the dirt. 

The two then turned to slash at the monster's tail to free their teammate from its grip. Unaware of the hydra effect of the skunk's voracious plant heads, Jason and Adam were caught completely unaware as four new heads grew where the last two were cut off. Now six giant maws all chomped at the air and swarmed around the rangers.

"Look out!" 

A head dove down and slammed itself over the gold ranger's shoulders. Adam came over to help but another head descended from above and engulfed his upper body in one gulp.

The ranger's muffled screams could barely be heard as the giant maws swallowed each ranger down in giant gulps, slurping their kicking legs up and snapping shut behind them. 

Tommy and Kat watch the squirming bulges of their friends travel down the stalks of the flowers and into Fleur's body, where she was rubbing her belly enjoying herself immensely.

"Mmmmm, it’s so nice of you to serve yourself up to me so easily rangers! Don't worry, I'll savor every last bit of each of you."

A golden rose and green bell shaped flower bloomed up from the skunk's white furred belly. She caressed each one gingerly, the flowers shivering in response.

"We need to get more help!" Kat exclaimed, backing away from the swarming plant maws.

Tommy nodded reluctantly, and together the red and pink rangers turned to run. They both smiled as they saw Drew coming up from behind them, but their faces dropped as they saw the giant flower running after him. It was just slightly taller than drew, with three giant petals measuring four feet across lined all around with spiny thorns. In the center was a toothed mouth which bit at the air while the giant petals fanned open and closed around it. Two long vines snaked out from the flower's shoulders, extending 6 feet in either direction. Under the main flower was a round bulbous sack sticking out from the torso of the creature like a giant belly. The flower walked upright on two stalky haunches leading down to a mass of twisting vines that comprised the flower's long root feet. (http://nibblahfrog.deviantart.com/art/Beetleborgs-Venus-Claptrap-70699531)

"Drew! Look out behind you!"

The blue Beetleborg ran up and pulled out his laser blaster and began firing at the remaining rangers. Kat and Tommy scattered out of the way.

"It's that flower on his neck! It's controlling him somehow!"

The red and pink rangers backed up watching the flower and Drew closely. They heard a rumbling at their feet and looked down to see vines growing up over their boots pinning them to the ground.

"Thanks for the distraction mes amoures," Fleur said, walking up from behind. She watched as Kat and Tommy struggled against the roots as they wound their way up the ranger's body, connecting to their wrists and pulling their arms down to pin them to the side. With only their heads exposed, the remaining rangers could only watch as they were approached by Fleur, Drew, and the snapping flower.

"May I introduce to you...Venus Claptrap. You may have known her as the beetleborg named 'Jo', but with my help her true beauty has blossomed!"

"That's....Jo?" Tommy looked incredulous.

"Hey it's the red ranger! I bet he's as nummy as the blue ranger was," the plant spoke, its petals shaking as vines rubbed over its round belly.

"No mon amour...no ranger dessert until you finish your dinner. I want you to show these rangers that you belong to Fleur."

The skunk flashed a wicked smile, then turned to the Claptrap.

"Venus Claptrap, I want you to eat the blue beetleborg."

The last remaining remnants of Jo inside the claptrap screamed out for her to stop. She couldn't eat her closest friend. The flower took a step back, closing her petals tight and withdrawing her vines.

"Drew...why don't you go over and give Venus Claptrap a hug,"

Drew marched over without a word and wrapped his arms around the flower, who recoiled and tried to back away.

"No, no that won't do. Mon blue blossom, I want you to demorph."

Drew dutifully dropped his armor down and returned to his civilian clothes, standing with a blank look on his face and the blue flower stuck fast to his neck, petals pulsing.

"Now give Venus a kiss right on her belly. Kiss it so she knows how beautiful it is." 

Drew turned and walked right up to the flower, leaned over and placed his hands on the pliant round belly sac of the flower and gave it a long passionate kiss while his hands rubbed in slow circles. 

Fleur smiled, looking over to see Tommy and Kat's horrified reaction.

Jo was using all of her will to hold back from eating her friend, as the smell of his exposed flesh on her scent receptors sent her into a ravenous feeding craze. Drew's rubbing and massaging her pot belly made it harder to ignore her hunger; Jo was fighting a losing battle against her burgeoning instincts.

Slowly the claptrap's petals opened. Taking a deep whiff of her prey, the exhilaration egged her on as she lifted her vines to the boy's side and started stroking, then gently pulling him towards her. Her petals reached out and gave a tenuous nibble.

"Mon garcon bleu...why don't you lie down inside her mouth, so she can remember just how sweet and delicious human flesh is?"

Just as ordered, Drew placed his hands inside claptrap's bloom and lowered himself onto the bottom two petals and rolling over onto his back, feet dangling out over the flower's belly.

The urges were too strong, Jo was fighting a losing battle and the Venus Claptrap was winning. Slowly the petals began to close and the inner toothy mouth started chewing in anticipation.

"Let's see how you can resist a live prey, no?" Fleur giggled and snapped her fingers. Immediately the flower on Drew's neck wilted and fell off.

Drew suddenly snapped to. What was happening? Where was he? 

Before he had time to think, he saw a giant mouth close down around on him. By the time the panic set in the claptrap had clamped her petals tight, leaving only Drew's knees and below sticking out. He struggled frantically in a state of fear and confusion.

The movement of her prey struggling in her mouth was too much and Venus Claptrap's instincts took over completely. Vines tightened around Drew's waist, starting to help him in as the petals sucked in giant gulps making loud slurping noises as he was pulled up into the tiny mouth of the man-eating plant.

Kat and Tommy watched on as the flower monster greedily devoured her former teammate, disappearing into the plant's maw in a matter of seconds. They saw her belly jiggle then grow slightly rounder in size. (http://nibblahfrog.deviantart.com/art/Venus-Claptrap-Series-70699811)

"Mmmmmm....he was delicious!" the Claptrap said, rubbing her belly in satisfaction.

The remaining rangers knew that any part of Jo was gone, and they were probably going to be next.

Fleur watched intently as her Claptrap minion finished off her meal, enjoying the show. Seeing that the remaining rangers were still stuck fast in their viney cocoons, the skunk now had time to turn to the captive in her tail. Tanya had all but given up struggling now and watched resignedly from her bushy prison, looking on as the claptrap monster started walking towards the pink and red rangers.

Suddenly Tanya let out a yelp as she felt a warm moist pressure squeezing between her legs. In spite of herself she let out an oooh, squirming in the constrictive grip of the tail while the pressure slid back and forth over her pussy coaxing her outer labia to blossom. She felt the pollen playing tricks with her head, a warm flush feeling taking over and making Tanya inhale sharply as the tendril pinched hard, pressing into her before she was ready. She moaned as her nether lips parted, the lubricating slime making the tendril feel amazing as it undulated against her clit and pressed deeper.

Tanya felt a bulge traveling through the tendril, squirming about in panic at what it was as she felt it pressing past her pussy and deep inside her, feeling about the size of a tennis ball and smooth all around. As soon as the tendrils had entered her they pulled out, leaving with an audible splorch and filling Tanya with a disgusted sense of feeling used, wondering with dread what had just been planted inside her womb.

"Oooh I wonder what this pink one will taste like!" the Claptrap said brightly as it waddled towards Kat and opened her petals. Out of the center toothed mouth two long vine tongues shot out and wrapped themselves around the Ranger's neck and chest. With a tremendous power the vines ripped Kat from the vines entwining her from below, the tension making Kat scream out in pain.

Kat found herself being dragged backwards toward the waiting maw of the flower, its giant petals opening wide in preparation while her viney hands reached out to welcome her into its grasp.

Struggling fiercely against the claptrap, the pink ranger managed to get one arm free from the lower tongue. Seizing the opportunity, Kat reached down to her laser pistol and pulled it from its holster, taking aim and firing a desperation shot at the skunk's head. 

Fleur turned slightly as the shot rang out, screaming out in a disturbing shrill shriek as the laser blasted off the large red flower growing from behind the skunk's ear. Fleur stumbled back and held up a paw, seeing the flower fall limply to the earth.

"My precious flower!!! What have you done?" Fleur held her ear with a paw while writhing around in agony.

Kat felt the constricting Claptrap tongues loosen around her and fall off, pulling back into the flower's mouth.

"Kat...is that you?" it was Jo's voice, distorted by the tainted plant body she was trapped in.

The pink ranger knew she had to act fast before the monsters regained their senses. Two quick laser blasts burned the weakened vines off of Tommy as the red ranger broke free of the plant's binds.

"Her weak point was the flower above her head! I think she's weakening now...maybe we can rescue the others too. But we have to hurry!" Kat said to Tommy

The two rangers watched as the skunk patted the smoldering scar on her head. Above her the six plant heads cowered in sympathy pain, the green and silver specked head losing its color turning to red and orange like all the others as a green chrysanthemum again blossomed on the skunk's chest next to Adam and Jason's flowers, freeing Roland from his duty as a hungry maw.

"Now's our chance! Attack!"

Tommy and Kat rushed forward, the pink Ranger throwing her razor sharp Zeo Disc while Tommy raised his sword high preparing to strike.

Fleur stumbled back, but was too weak to avoid the onslaught. Kat's disc cut through all six of the head stalks making Fleur shriek in pain allowing Tommy a clear path towards her tail, which he lopped off with one slash of his Zeo sword. Tanya fell to the ground, cushioned by the giant bushy skunk tail which opened as it impacted with the dirt.

The pink ranger wheeled behind the monster and shot laser blasts at the stumps of the skunk's tail-heads, charring the area into a black crisp, thereby preventing any new heads from growing

Fleur stumbled back shrieking, the three flowers on her chest shriveling into nothing. The skunk's mouth opened involuntarily, spitting out one gold and two green balls of energy that flew into the air and fluttered to the earth turning into Roland, Jason and Adam.

The Claptrap monster flailed about clearly in pain from being bonded to Fleur during her transformation. Her petals flung open then spat out Drew and Rocky while holding her belly sack in agony, the ranger and borg falling to the ground in a heap their clothes partially melted by the plant's digestive acid.

Instead of rushing back to reclaim her meals, the Claptrap monster just held up its vines and rubbed along its own petals as if discovering itself for the first time. Its mouth opened and Jo's voice and personality came out distinctly, although slightly warped from her plant form.

"Guys it's me...Jo! What happened to me?"

"Stay there Jo, we'll help you out as soon as we're done with this monster," Drew said, regained his senses.

Drew grabbed his beetle binder and morphed into the blue beetleborg, followed close behind by the green borg as and gold and green rangers.

"Now everyone...hit her with all you got! Time to summon the Zeo Cannon!" Tommy, the red ranger called out.

A giant cannon descended from the sky, held by Tommy and the other rangers. Jason summoned his gold power staff.

Drew then powered up to his Mega Blue Beetleborg mode and summoned his Thunder Stinger. When ready, Drew shot a blast from his Thunder Stinger while the Rangers fired massive blasts from their Zeo Cannon and Gold power staff at the skunk. The three energies blasts impacted in a shower of sparks and left a hole in the monster's chest.

"You may have won this time Rangers and Beetleborgs, but the plant war isn't over! I will be back sooner than you think!" 

Fleur de Moufette fell backwards and hit the ground with a giant explosion, releasing a thick cloud of pollen into the air that immediately surrounded everything in sight.

The rangers and borgs all cheered and congratulated each other. They looked over expectantly to the Claptrap hoping the plant's essence would leave her, but to their shock the red beetleborg was still a fully bloomed Claptrap flower.

"Am I going to be like this forever?" Jo wondered, feeling her new body with her viney hands. Roland and Drew rushed to her side, putting their arm around her back.

"It's OK Jo...we'll figure out a way to turn you back to normal. I'm sure Flabber knows a spell." They thanked the rangers once again for saving them, and then they started heading over to Hillhurst to hopefully fix Jo.

The gold ranger inspected the charred spot where Fleur had exploded; satisfied that she was truly gone. Running back, he came and put his arm around Tanya.

"How are you feeling Tanya?"

"Uhhh..." the yellow ranger rubbed her head, "I'm still a little woozy, but I feel much better now, merci beaucoup."

“That was odd...I've never spoken French before” Tanya thought. Just then she felt a strange feeling welling up inside her. She soon felt lightheaded, and everything around her was becoming more vivid to her senses. She could smell the whole forest around her alive with plant life, filling her with a strange energy.

Suddenly the ground below Tanya rumbled and gave way as a giant red rose burst up from beneath. It was over four feet across and was growing up quickly over the yellow ranger, threatening to engulf her in the center of its petals.

"Ahhhhh! Help me!" Tanya screamed out, trying to push the petals off her as they rose up past her waist.

"Tanya...No! Not this time!" the gold ranger called out valiantly, rushing forward and grabbing Tanya by the wrist and pulling hard. The flower was too strong, swelling and growing and pulling Tanya deeper inside as it grew up over 6 feet tall. The rose kept growing as the yellow ranger disappeared completely. Jason held on to Tanya's wrist, but as she was swallowed up the petals grabbed onto him and were pulling him inside as well. The rose's pull was too much for him and soon the petals sucked his head in, muffling the gold ranger's cries for help as he was slurped up in seconds and disappeared into the center of the rose.

The rest of the rangers looked on in horror as Jason and Tanya disappeared into the rose, now two bulges within the flower making the outside quiver and shake with the movements of the struggling rangers inside.

The rangers pulled out their laser pistols and began firing at the unnatural blossom. The shots hit the rose but deflected right back at the rangers, making them dive for cover.

"We gotta get them out before something bad happens to them!" Adam yelled and rushed forward with his Zeo hatchet, slashing at the rose ineffectually.

Inside the flower, Tanya was struggling against the pliant walls of her flowery cocoon. The smell of roses filled her nose and overwhelmed her senses, like taking a deep whiff of a stiff alcohol and reeling from its effects.

"I told you I wouldn't be gone long mon amour," Tanya stopped as she heard the skunk monster's voice, only coming from inside her head.

"I think it's time for the new skunk you to blossom, no?"

Tanya was holding her head and thrashing around as the gold ranger came tumbling in. The interior of the flower was surprisingly roomy, giving Jason just enough sitting room beneath Tanya to be able to stand up. He could immediately see she in pain, but couldn't see what was causing it.

"Nooo...get out of me!!!” Tanya yelled.

The yellow ranger stumbled forward, hands clutching her face as she felt an intense pressure pushing out from within. She fell to her knees in front of Jason, groaning and screaming in short bursts as her hands began to swell. She held them to her face, horrified to see shiny black pawpads growing on her palms and a thin green fuzz sprouting up from the back of her hands.

The pain was all engrossing and Tanya lost herself to screaming and stumbling around, trying her best to fight these new feelings from taking over. She could suddenly sense Jason, smelling his scent in her nose and feeling the urge to devour him.

"He smells tasty, no? Don't worry mon cheri, will have him inside us soon," 

"Noooooo! Arrrrrggggghhh!!" Tanya let out a primal scream, throwing her head and arms back in sheer agony fighting the monster's essence with every fiber of her being. 

"Tanya! You've got to fight it!" Jason yelled, rushing forward as vines grew out of the walls of the rose and wrapped around his neck and chest, pulling him back where more vines wrapped around him immobilizing the gold ranger completely.

Tanya doubled over in pain as Jason saw a bulge poking out from above her rump. She let out a scream as a giant green skunk tail burst through the spandex and grew to four feet long. Another scream and a single flower bulb grew up out of the hole in her uniform, as big as a basketball with a familiar smiling maw growing into place as it wiggled upwards on its stalk.

Jason watched in horror as Tanya was turning into a giant skunk before his eyes.

Tanya stumbled over to Jason, who was tied to the wall.

"Jason...you gotta help me..." Tanya whimpered desperately.

Tanya felt something pull at her back and was horrified to see a giant flower bulb attack Jason and clamp down over his head.

"No! You can't!" Tanya said, realizing that she was the one doing it.

"It's in your instincts mon amour...you can't fight it the desire for human flesh..." Fleur's sweet voice chipped away at Tanya's reeling confidence.

Tanya rushed over to help but new feelings of pressure and pain filled her, making her writhe about unable to focus on saving her friend. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the gold ranger struggling, the mouth persistently chewing working its way past the ranger's chest. Jason tried to pull it off but the suction was too strong, and soon his hands were pinned to his sides and his jerking head could be seen moving up into the flower's stalk.

She could see Jason's writhing body moved through the stalk in quick intermittent gulps, coming closer and closer to her body. She could feel his struggles like electric shocks of pleasure, getting more intense the closer he got. With one last powerful suck, Jason's body was slurped down the stalk and magically squeezing into Tanya's backside.

Tanya's screams started to turn to manic laughs as a new rush of power flooded into her and overwhelmed her senses. 

"Now you are mine, mon amour!" the words came out of Tanya's mouth as she stumbled about holding her face.

Unable to take it anymore Tanya tore off her helmet, screaming as her nose started to press outwards, creating a short blunt muzzle. Her ears began to lift up her head painfully, rounding out and growing green fuzz at the tips. The pain overwhelmed Tanya leaving her unable to react rationally, hearing the skunk's endless mocking laughter in her ears.

Tanya struggled with the pain, feeling compelled to hold out her hands as if the skunk inside her was forcing her to watch.

She felt an intense pressure from within, watching as her whole body began to swell and stretching out her usually form-fitting uniform. Her hands suddenly felt uncomfortable in their gloves, reaching up to pull them off to find stubby green paws growing up from within, fat black pawpads pushing up from her palms while tiny sharp claws grew out from her nails.

A slight smile suddenly grew over the changing girl's face, the laughter intensifying and morphing into a mocking belly laugh. Her muzzle pushed out further growing a thick green fur as beneath her Tanya's entire body began to swell underneath the yellow spandex. 

Tanya held her arms out while cackling loudly. Suddenly her swelling body burst from the uniform, tearing it to ribbons and leaving behind a shapely furred body with a green with a white belly just like Fleur had been. Her boots strained from the feet swelling within, suddenly exploding in a shower of vinyl as a round green clawed paw burst out.

She held her face in her paws as the changes took place, then stopped without warning. Slowly, she raised her eyes and gave a seductive intense look.

"Sacre bleu! It is good to be back!"

Tanya felt herself saying the words, but tried as she might, she was powerless to stop it. She was a passenger along for the ride and just a marionette to the skunk.

"Oooh your friend Jason was sweet no? I think he will make a fine ornament for my hair, oui?"

Fleur fluffed her jet black hair and tickled behind her ear, where a sparkling golden flower with black tips bloomed in the same place Fleur's old purple flower had been.

"Now those rangers will think twice before shooting off our lovely flower. That is, if they want to keep from hurting their friend!"

Fleur set into a fit of trill laughter, the rose rumbling around her.

**********************************

Meanwhile, Drew and Roland were walking Jo back to the mansion in hopes that Flabber would be able to help them.

They were about a mile away when the claptrap flower stopped, its petals fluttering as it clutched its belly sac.

"Guys...I don't feel so good..."

Jo held her belly with her vines and stepped back from Drew and Roland. The hunger pangs were returning, only this time stronger than before.

"What is it Jo? Are you alright?"

"I feel...I feel," Jo opened her petals wide, "Hungry!!!"

The rangers were busy trying to pry open the rose to see Jo starting to attack her fellow beetleborgs. Drew and Roland dodged out of the way, turning and running as the Claptrap stomped after them with petals chomping.

************************************ 

Back at the location of the original Fleur's demise, the giant rose had started to rise up into the sky on a thick green stalk with sharp thorns growing into place. The petals quaked and swelled slightly

The air filled with the sound of growing roots as the rangers and beetleborgs all found their legs and feet stuck to the ground.

They turned back again to see the rose opening its petals to reveal a giant emerald green skunk with white fur on its belly. But this skunk was different from the last; she was two feet taller than the last, and where the striking purple flower above her head had been now was a gold flower with black tips, and her entire body was flecked with gold highlights. Two larger fearsome plant heads rose from her back, jet black with thick golden lips and gold spots all around the bulb. The rangers shivered as they knew exactly where the heads came from. Her bushy skunk tail was twice as long as the previous incarnation, littered with the same rainbow of flowers and giving off a mist of pollen with every movement.

The flower's front petals opened  and reached down towards the ground, creating a staircase that the new Tanya-Fleur descended, coming to the ground and looking around with amusement at the rooted heroes.

"You silly rangers and borgs...did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" The heroes gasped as the voice they heard was an unnatural mixture of Tanya and the skunk monster.

"It's too bad you did not pull out the roots, because a plant always grows back! You see, I infused Tanya with my essence, planting my DNA inside her as insurance, just in case you all did manage to defeat me. My seed was inside your friend all this time, just waiting for the right time to blossom and take over!"

Fleur laughed, basking in the rangers looks of horror.

"She is the perfect host, no? A lovely body, but even better now thanks to moi." Fleur rubbed the ex-ranger's form up and down, teasing the rangers by enjoying being inside her and in control. 

"I didn't expect to get that surge of power when we devoured Jason...what a delicious surprise!" Fleur rubbed her paws down her now taller and slimmer body, admiring the gold highlights lining the edges of the white and green fur on her belly. She swished her double-long skunk tail into the air, creating a gust of wind and flashing the two golden stripes running down the tail's length.

"You are all very lucky to be here to witness the birth of my new Eden! You rangers will have a first hand view of my conquest of your planet as helpless petite fleurs growing from my fur!

***********************************

Meanwhile, more than a mile away Drew and Roland had morphed into beetleborgs and were holding off Claptrap Jo, who was quickly regressing to her monstrous ways.

"Claptrap wants to be fed!" Jo said, gnashing her giant petals and swinging her vined appendages at the borgs like two whips, knocking them both backwards with a powerful crack on their armor.

Drew and Roland reeled from the sudden onslaught, falling prone on their backs in the dirt. Before they could get up the claptrap opened its petals wide, the smiling toothy maw inside shooting two long tongues at the borgs. The bulbous-tipped tongues wrapped around a pair of ankles and quickly jerked them across the ground.

"I'm going to stuff you both in my mouth at once!" the flower bobbed happily as it sucked in both tongues, leaving Drew and Roland scrambling to draw their laser blasters. Drew managed to pull his out and aimed it at the mouth of the flower. A whip crack shot out as the blue beetleborg felt a horrendous lash on his forearm, making him drop his gun. Another lash and the whip had wrapped around him, rendering Drew's arms useless. Another vine whipped around Roland before he could even reach his weapon.

Drew and Roland struggled hard against their bonds, only making the Claptrap bouncier as it fluttered its petals taking deep breaths of the smell of fear that seeped through their armor, exciting her senses and filling her with a ravenous frenzy.

The giant flower loomed over the two prone borgs as their feet were pulled into the petals. They could clearly see the small toothed mouth at the center of the flower gnashing hungrily and dribbling a thick purple slime over Drew and Roland's boots.

Suddenly the two borgs were jerked upright by the plant's vines wrapped around their chests, then thrust forward falling headlong into the waiting petals of the plant. In a flash the upper petal snapped down, biting Drew and Roland from head to waist and slamming them face first into the two lower petals. They felt the vines around their chest loosen and pull away, but the overwhelming force of the petals clamped down on them kept the borgs firmly in place, face down in the Claptrap's maw.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Drew let out a scream of pain as he felt a whip crack across his rear. Another crack whipped out and Roland screamed. 

"I'll crack your shells and suck out the meat inside!" the claptrap's warbling voice spoke from a mere foot away, her flowery breath reminding them just how close her maw was. 

Drew and Roland felt an pressure growing into a constriction then to an unbearable crushing as the petals squeezed together with incredible power. Whip cracks exploded; one after another as long vine tentacles lashed the backsides of the both borgs mercilessly.

The borgs cried out in pain, their armor pushed to the limit. Drew felt a pop and then a bright flash of blue as his armor exploded into energy and dissipated into nothing. Another deluge of whips finally broke Roland as his armor faded in a green flash, leaving both borgs demorphed and powerless.

The petals lessened their constricting grasp, chewing Drew and Roland gently while bathing them both in an strong acrid yet floral smelling slime. A single tongue snaked out of the plant's mouth, winding around both borgs at once and cinching tightly. Pressed together helplessly, the beetleborgs tried not to listen as the gnashing sound of the mouth grew louder and louder in their ears.

From the outside, the claptrap's petals were shut tightly with a visible bulge distending the petals on the bottom. A foot or hand could be seen faintly pressing out of the brightly colored red petals, but the plant itself didn't move except for slight jiggles of something struggling inside and the undulated chewing of the petals making the lump shrink.

Drew and Roland felt the teeth bite down over their heads, then neck, then chest, then belly, working efficiently to pull them into the throat where a tight stretchy tube enveloped them. The slime lubricated their descent, pulled deep with no air and hearing the muffled sound of the plants inner workings, like being underwater.

Before long Drew and Roland's heads popped into a larger area filled with the overwhelming acrid floral scent. They hear a loud burbling beneath them and felt hanging vines on their face. They were pushed out until gravity took over, pulling them out of the throat and into a freefall.

Drew and Roland tumbled through space, reaching out in desperation as they each managed to grab hold of a hanging vine and stop their fall. They looked down and saw that the area was illuminated by the sun hitting the outer wall. The area was impossibly large given the size of the plant on the outside, being as big as a bedroom and twice as tall inside the belly. The walls were a crimson red, and hundreds of vines hung down from the ceiling. Beneath them a giant pool or purple acid bubbled and fumed.

A shadow descended over the borgs as the wall suddenly jutted inwards, followed by an earthquake which left Drew and Roland clinging desperately to their vines.

"Time for your slime bath!" the claptrap's voice boomed, muffled by the thick walls of her belly sac which shook with the jostling from the plant's tentacles on the outside. Roland felt something wrap around his right ankle and tug him downward, followed by another one around his left ankle.

"It's pulling me down!" Roland tried to kick the vines off but they just continued to wrap tighter, winding up his legs. His hands held on as best as they could, but without his armored powers his strength wasn't enough to fight the force pulling him down.

"Roland! Hold on!" Drew lent his moral support, shimmying down the vines and extending his hand to Roland. The ex-green borg reached out, but couldn't quite reach his friend. He strained and groaned, fighting hard against the vines as his fingertips touched Drew's. 

Roland mustered all the strength he could and surged upwards, his hand clasping tight around Drew's. However the sweat of his struggling made his hand slick as Roland begin to slide, then slip out of his grasp all together.

"Noooooooo!!!" Drew yelled out as he watched Roland fall from his hands downwards, landing with a loud splash into the thick purple slime below. He heard his friend's cries and saw the last of his hand disappear into the goop.

"Mmmmm I can feel his energy now...it will all belong to me once my belly slime absorbs him completely!" Drew could see the plant's vine arms rubbing its belly sac in enjoyment. He looked down and winced as Roland's form could be seen thrashing around in the slime, the thick goop keeping him from breaking the surface as it burbled all around him.

Drew could tell that the claptrap was doing this for his benefit, trying to break his will so he would give up. He knew his only chance was to appeal to what small part of the plant monster that was still Jo.

"Jo! I know you're still in there! It's your friend, Drew! You don't want to digest us...look deep down and ask yourself - do you want to make your friend go away forever?"

The belly stopped rumbling as all motion ceased, save the gentle splashing of Roland's lessening struggles. Drew brightened, thinking he had finally gotten through to Jo.

"D..Drew? Roland? Are you guys in there?"

"Yes Jo! It's us! Quick, you gotta help Roland before he's gone!"

"Oh don't worry, he'll be fine," Jo said brightly, making Drew exhale in relief.

"Once he's digested, he'll become a mindless vine slave and help pull other meals down to be digested in my slime! And for you Drew, I could never imagine us being apart. I'm going to make you my special pet!"

Before Drew could shout a protest, a trio of vines shot out and wrapped around Drew's chest legs and neck. He was pulled backwards towards the back wall of the belly, pressed up against the warm moist flesh as vines began to grow out of the wall and wrap around him.

"I always had a crush on you Drew, and now you'll always be close to my heart! Before long, my vines will bind you to me permanently and you'll give your energy with me whenever I want. You'll stay just as you are forever, and will get to see everyone you help us eat fall into the slime and be digested!"

Drew felt the vines tightening around him, mummifying him in a vine cocoon from head to toe, leaving only his eyes exposed enough to see everything that was happening in the belly. His struggles lessened as the cocoon squeezed and pulled him against the wall, quickly becoming too strong for him to even budge an inch. 

"Jo...you can't do this!" Drew cried out in desperation, feeling vines clinging to his skin like ivy to a wall, his body starting to weaken as its roots sapped the energy from his being.

On the outside, the giant red petals of the claptrap monster fluttered, and a smile could be seen on its tiny toothed mouth as two giant vines rubbed a very full looking belly sac. At the bottom of the pot belly a single vine jutted out, like the stalk at the end of a gourd. A blue flower, the same color blue as the blue beetleborg, grew up from the stalk. The flower was large and wrinkled, roughly in the shape of an upside down bell. The claptrap's long vines touched the flower carefully, making it shudder and spring to life, fluttering open and close with a mind of its own.

"With a little bit of slime pumped in through your roots, in time you'll come you will learn to like it!" 

With the flower's instincts fully intact now, Jo's personality showed through tainted completely by the plant's parasitic influence. With the beetleborgs all serving as plant food for the skunk's growing garden, the very full claptrap waddled back towards its master instinctively to receive further orders.

***********************************************

Miles away, the rangers were not faring well against the new and improved Fleur de Moufette. The skunk strolled towards the rangers, the black and gold flower heads weaving and dodging as they snapped at each ranger in turn, keeping them off guard and unable to stay in one place for long.

"What's wrong mon amis? The flowers are just trying to be affectionate. Just give them a little kiss, it won't hurt!" Fleur said mockingly as the giant golden flower maw lunged Rocky, barely missing.

The rangers circled around avoiding the lunging heads, managing to get off a few laser blasts which bounced off the flower-head stalks harmlessly.

"What's happened to you guys? You're just no fun anymore!" Fleur put her hands on her hips, making Tommy notice just how much of Tanya's mannerisms he could see in the new Fleur.

"Maybe it'd make you guys feel better to see our old friend Jason, no?" Fleur smiled as the gold and black flower behind her ear wiggled, then started to glow. It coalesced into a ball of green energy and floated from behind Fleur's ear out in front of her where it started to grow. Within seconds it was as tall and as wide as Fleur, then in a flash the light broke and out popped a giant leafy monstrosity. Its body was a giant green bulb mounted on a bed of petals above two woody feet, not unlike the claptrap. The bulb was green with gold spots, with two giant red eyes looking out from the middle Eight long green tentacles emerged from under the bulb and whipped around, each tentacle bulbous at the end and dripping with a thick green slime. Its top was a gaping hole, lined with teeth and leading into the bulb with a single leaf acting as a hinge to seal the top shut. (http://megamanneos.deviantart.com/art/PRWT-Swalleaf-78523004)

"May I introduce you to Jaso...I mean, Swalleaf! Just give yourself up rangers and he'll find a nice cozy place for you...inside his belly!" Fleur laughed, truly amused as she watched the hungry Swalleaf stomp towards the rangers with tentacles flying.

"Get out of the way!" Rocky and Kat dove out of the way as the monster stampeded for them. Tommy kneeled to fire some laser shots, managing to hit Swalleaf and make him growl as two tentacles whipped out slapping the gun out of Tommy's hand then knocking him on his back. Swalleaf rushed foward trying to trample the red ranger, Tommy rolling out of the way at the last moment.

Fleur laughed admiring the chaos her new pet was bringing the rangers, all four of them busy with the giant toothed bulb. Her stomach growled as she eyed the rangers, the overwhelming desire to devour them all filled her with a sense of power. She'd let her pet have its fun, but she had a special plan for the rangers.

"Attack form delta! Go!"

The rangers circled around Swalleaf and all lunged simultaneously with their power weapons drawn. The monster growled and lashed its tentacles wilding. They swung around and whipped Adam and Tommy away, leaving Kat and Rocky wide open. Two tentacles wrapped around each ranger, lifting them from their trajectory upwards as the lip of the bulb flipped up to reveal a dark cavernous maw lined with tiny teeth. The tentacles stuffed them headfirst into the hole, plunging Kat and Rocky into darkness as the thick rubbery flesh undulated, the tiny teeth working quickly to pull them inside. The rangers were pressed together as they were sucked into the monster's tight throat, their legs kicking wildly while tentacles worked to stuff them down roughly.

Tommy yelled out in horror watching his two friends being stuffed into the bulb. He could see the bulb shaking and distending the more the plant stuffed them down, every now and then a hand or foot pressing out of the monster's thick stretchy hide.

 The two remaining rangers watched as two pairs of kicking feet disappeared together; Kat and Rocky's muffled cries for help could be heart faintly above the smacking and chewing. The monster finished its meal with a sickening slurp, shutting its upper lid tight then turning to face Tommy and Adam. The red ranger fought his urge to rush the monster in a final blitz, instead taking a step back and watching the plant eye him closely. Swalleaf growled and stomped the ground, its tentacles now flailing about in full force having finished stuffing the rangers inside.

Tommy and Adam backed away slowly, now the only rangers remaining. They kept their eyes fixed on Swalleaf, who was shaking and kicking his feet petals on the ground and making a ruckus, taking slow deliberate steps towards the rangers like a bull waiting to charge.

"Let's take this into the woods Adam. He won't be able to maneuver in there, and we can keep up our fire until he spits out Kat and Rocky. We’ll then have to find a way to turn that thing back to Jason" the red ranger said, starting to back towards the edge of the clearing.

"Right!" Adam said, and together the rangers stepped carefully back towards the trees. The ground shook as Swalleaf followed them step for step, the green ranger letting loose a volley of laser fire to keep the plant at bay.

Suddenly, the rangers heard a voice calling from directly behind them.

"You don't want to join your friends inside my lovely plant's bulb? That's OK mon amis, you'll be much more comfortable in my stomach anyways!"

Adam looked up just in time to see a giant gold and black plant head crashing in from above. Before he had a chance to cry out in warning the giant plant maw slammed over Adam's head, plunging him into darkness. 

Tommy watched as in one bite the plant had bitten up to Adam's shoulders, pinning his arms to the side as the green ranger struggled hard, digging into the ground resisting the maw's powerful suction. The plant head was toying with him now, holding him tightly in its mouth but letting him run around frantically, like a fisherman wearing down its catch before reeling it in.

"Not this time!" Tommy yelled, taking out his laser and aimed at the plant's stalk, but each of his shots bounced off harmlessly.

"Foolish ranger! With your old friend’s gold ranger powers at my disposal, my body is impervious to your laser fire."

The skunk took a step towards Tommy, stretching her leg out daintily and flashing the ranger a seductive look. The red ranger stood dazed, taken off guard by the skunk's look and the smell of fragrant flowers filling the air, clouding Tommy's mind and making it hard to focus.

"You can't stop me Tommy...why don't you just give in, and I'll make this a lot more pleasant..."

Through the haze of the skunk's mind-melting gaze Tommy heard a muffled cry from his side, snapping him out of his reverie. He turned to see Adam being flipped up in the air by the head, its lips locked around his waist as two green spandex legs and white boots thrashed about wildly.

Tommy saw a flash of green and felt something hit him like a large pillow. A giant skunk tail then appeared in front of him, waggling out then slapping back against his chest. The tail wound around the red ranger like a snake, its length allowing it to cocoon the ranger in two wraps before pulling taut around him in a suffocating bear hug. Tommy wriggled against the tail, but found his arms and legs bound together uselessly.

"You look wonderful my dear red ranger...like a giant fuzzy green scarf to keep you safe. Now you can enjoy the show from a comfortable place, and it will let you think about what perfect plant food you will become for my growing garden."

"Nooooooo! This isn't over Tanya...good will always triumph in the end!" Tommy grunted and struggled, refusing to give into the giant poofy tail trapping him.

"You're right mon amour...good will triumph! Once plants rule the world and all animals live simply to serve as their food, then everything will be back to the way it should be. You humans have subjugated us plants for long enough. And now with the all the rangers' power at my disposal, no one will be able to stop my Garden of Eden from covering the planet!"

Tanya laughed, striding up to Tommy and putting a fuzzy green arm around him, rubbing under his chin with a paw before taking grip of it firmly and forcing him to look up.

"Watch as your last hope disappears into the hungry maw of my plant...oooh I can't wait to feel his energy filling me! He will be such a vibrant bloom on my bosom, a trophy for the entire world to see!"

The red ranger watched, fighting back shouts of desperation as he watched Adam's legs slurped up into the giant maw, and the distinct bulge of his body stretching out the stalk as he traveled down towards his fate.

Fleur let out moans of pleasure, touching her thighs with her paw and sliding them up across her belly to cup her breasts.

"Such a good pet, catching lunch for your mistress!" The large flower maw descended from above, giant lips making a broad smile as Fleur pet it affectionately. It slurped the skunk with a large wet tongue, its stalk undulating underneath and pulling forward to present the swallowed ranger bulge to Fleur. The skunk rubbed a paw along the trapped green ranger's body, watching him squirm and struggle in final desperation.

Tommy tried to look away, but Fleur kept him watching as Adam’s bulge disappeared into her hips. Fleur rubbed her white and gold-flecked belly and let out a long mmmmmm, making sure the red ranger could see as a small green orchid bloomed up on top of the skunk's left breast. Fleur leaned over and stuck her pink nose in the middle, taking a deep whiff.

"Oooh he has a wonderful fragrance! Here, you will appreciate what a beautiful flower your friend has become!"

Fleur reached an arm behind Tommy's head and forced it forward, shoving his face into her bosom roughly. Knowing he couldn't smell from under the helmet anyways, Fleur's evil instincts filled her with the enjoyment of seeing her prey squirm and struggle.

The rangers now all incapacitated or eaten, Fleur turned her full attention to the tail-wrapped red ranger. She sidled up to him, wrapped her arm around and began stroking his cheek with a paw, watching his squirm uncomfortably from the affection.

"Don't think that just because I want to eat you that I don't love you, mon amour. I love the way you struggle, I love the way you are such an easy prey, and I love how you are so full of energy to fill my belly and help my plants grow big and strong."

Fleur took her time with Tommy, whispering sweet words of desperation to break the last remaining ranger's spirit. Tanya was enjoying herself immensely, her already weak resistance melting away as the sheer joy of being evil filled her with a sense of power. Instead, Tanya was starting to embrace her skunk side, letting go of her former life and getting drunk off the new feelings of power and strength coursing through her.

After what seemed like an eternity of torment, Tommy simply stopped struggling, not fighting against the skunk monster's taunts at all. Finally, the torture was interrupted by the sound of stomping feet. Tommy looked up with a glint of hope in his eye, which was quickly squashed by the sight of Venus Claptrap returning with a distended and round belly and no beetleborgs at her side.

Claptrap waddled right up to Fleur and stopped, her petals opening and closing slowly while her vine appendages couldn't stop rubbing her large and very full pot belly. Fleur smiled as her two pets, Claptrap and Swalleaf, stood before her obediently, the sight of their full bellies filling her with pride.

"Wonderful my pets! You make your mistress so happy to see you returning with tummies full of rangers and borgs!" Fleur stepped forward and stroked each with a paw, the two plants shivering and bowing to the skunk as the gold and black plant maws descended to mirror Fleur's affection with slurps of their own for the plantified former heroes.

"Now Swalleaf...why don't you release the pink ranger from your belly. I have special plans for her...and I’ll deal with blue boy later on”

The oversized bulb bobbed in agreement, squatting down as its giant round body pulled downwards and flattened at the bottom then shot upwards stretching tall as its lid flew open and spat Kat into the air covered head to toe in thick green slime. The pink ranger flew three feet up, then came crashing down in a rain of slime hitting the ground with a thud and falling lifeless. Kat moaned and shifted weakly on the ground, Tommy thanking his lucky stars that she was still alive.

"Did you enjoy your stay mon amour? My Swalleaf's slime will keep you paralyzed for a long time, enough for my plants to wrap up and keep you safe." Fleur taunted, smiling down at the prone pink ranger.

Kat heard the worming sound of plants growing up out of the ground all around her, powerless to move as thick woody roots snaked their way up and over her body, lashing her to the ground like a Gulliver in Lilliput. Fleur then commanded Swalleaf to remove Kat’s helmet. “I would love to see her reaction to seeing her boyfriend being eaten” Tanya-Fleur said.

"Now Swalleaf. I want you to go into Charterville and stuff you belly full of people, then bring them back to me."

The giant bulb bobbed up and down, its tentacles lashed about wildly as it turned and tromped off through the woods towards the town. Tommy and Kat couldn't bear to watch, knowing that without the rangers or beetleborgs there to protect them the townspeople would be powerless to stop them.

"Now, I think it's time that I put a beautiful red rose, right here on my belly. The leader of the power rangers should sit prominently on my body, so everyone can see the fate of the mighty rangers and know that they will be the next ones to bloom." 

Fleur smiled and stood in front of Tommy, making sure Kat could see. The red ranger looked away, but couldn't help but notice the green flower of his friend Adam there already.

The tall voluptuous skunk stepped up to the ranger, wrapping her arms around her tail and hugging it tight to her body. Holding his back in one arm, she used the other to pull his head close to hers, planting a big kiss on his helmet. She pulled back as suddenly a giant black and gold plant head dove in and bit down over Tommy's chest. The red ranger struggled in surprise, but the tail's hold kept his held fast. The jaws clamped down tight, lifting him up into the air, the tail's coils loosening from around him. He felt something nuzzle his feet, then felt a rough bite around his ankles as another pair of plant lips was nibbling at his feet.

Kat's head was stuck facing Tommy, and though she closed her eyes she could still hear his muffled cries, and the sound of relentless slurping and smacking of wet flesh. She opened her eyes in spite of herself, seeing Tommy held four feet in the air horizontally as two plant head devoured him simultaneously, only his midsection exposed. They chewed greedily, tugging back and form as Tommy found himself jerked around like a rag doll.

Kat quickly shut her eyes, holding back tears as she heard a loud slurp followed by a gulp, knowing that one head had just won and that Tommy was on his way to the skunk's belly. She heard a loud mmmm a few moments later, followed by the shrill giddy voice of the monster fawning over her new red rose just above her right breast. Moments passed in silence, Kat's eyes still shut. The calm was broken by Tanya-Fleur's voice, now mere feet from Kat.

"You're very lucky to be the last ranger mon amour...I have some very special plans for you! Jo! Mon petite Claptrap! Come here...I have a treat for you!"

Kat's eyes went wide as the man-eating flower waddled over eagerly, its three petals gnashing hungrily in spite of its full belly.

"Claptrap mon petite fleur...the pink ranger is your gift! I want you to have some fun with her, and show her how much you love being a hungry flower monster!"

Kat screamed out, partly dampened by the vines covering her mouth. She felt the ground shake as the Claptrap stomped over, whipping its two main vines around Kat and wrapping around her, the vines holding her to the ground lifting her up and then receding to facilitate the transition. The pink ranger was turned to face the claptrap, its petals flourishing open in a fearsome display, an acrid floral scent filling her nose as she stared eye to eye with the tiny toothed mouth in the middle of the flower.

"Ranger no good to eat in her shell!" the plant's mouth opened and closed in its warbled speech. 

"Perhaps a nice slime bath will remove that pesky uniform...then mon fleur can have some real fun!" Tanya-Fleur suggested, watching on eagerly as the Claptrap bounced excitedly with its prey wrapped up tight in its vines.

Kat was thrust forward roughly into the center of the flower as the giant petals all bit down at once, pummeling the pink ranger like a ton of bricks. Still weakened from the Swalleaf's slime, Kat struggled weakly unable to take advantage of the vines unraveling from her body. The moment of opportunity quickly passed as the petals opened and closed again, slamming into Kat noisily and tossing her around. The petals began to quicken, starting to chew the ranger in noisy slapping chomps. Kat was battered again and again, struggling to gain any traction in the slickness of the inner petals.

The Claptrap bounced happily chewing its meal for five minutes before stopping to clamp its petals down tight. Kat was still conscious, but was stuck in the dark all engulfing hug of the petals. Using all her strength she pushed herself away from the central mouth, the petals stretching slightly but holding the pink ranger in tight.

Kat heard a bubbling sound come from near the mouth. It continued for a minute before Kat could feel a gloopy slime oozing down into the petals. She backed away as best she could, but the slime kept on coming, collecting at her feet. Mustering her strength, the pink ranger stood up, cramped by her quarters but managing to keep out of the slime. Reacting to her movement, the plant's petals shook angrily with Kat holding on for dear life not to fall into the slime.

A loud burble filled Kat's ears as she felt something warm and slimy wrap around her neck. It pulled taut, the creature's tongue tugging her towards the hole. Kat pulled back, resisting with all her might. A second loud burble alerted Kat to a second tongue, this one wrapping around her knees. Already wobbling precariously, with one strong tug Kat was pulled head-first into the slime.

At first she felt nothing, squirming reflexively testing the strength of her bonds. She felt the slime wash over her, layer after layer. It started to feel warm, then hot, and then an itch started to grow all over Kat's body. It quickly turned to a very uncomfortable burn, the pink ranger writhing furiously as the slime began to dissolve her uniform.

The tongues licked Kat from head to toe, constantly winding and shifting massaging slime into her uniform. Her struggles only encouraged more licking, sucking and chewing as the plant was clearly enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Finally, Kat felt a great sucking as the petals tightened around her. With a constant sickening slurp, the slime was pulled out of the petals back into the plant's mouth. The pink ranger managed to hold on for dear life, barely avoiding being swallowed down.

The pressure of her prison lessened as the three petals slowly parted, opening to the harsh light of the mid-afternoon. Straining against the light, Kat suddenly noticed a cool breeze on her skin. Touching herself, she felt that her uniform was completely gone, digested by the slime. The burning pain had dissipated, but the blond ranger found herself as naked as the day she was born

The petals open wider and the tongues wrapped around Kat's neck and knees loosened, making her slide butt first to the bottom edge of the petals, her bare legs danging off the end a foot above the ground before the tongues pulled taut, holding her exposed to the outside world.

"Such a good plant you are! You are so happy with your meal no?" Fleur strolled over and leaned down to pet Kat's cheek.

"You've done such a good job peeling this ranger out of her shell...now it's playtime for mon petite fleur!"

Kat swallowed deep, wondering what the skunk meant by playtime. Her whole body shook as the petals chomped excitedly around her. Instead of biting down, the petals instead opened wide. The Claptrap reached inside with two big vines, each wrapping itself three times around Kat's wrists and pulling tight in opposite directions. Two smaller vines grew up out of the ground and wound around Kat's ankles, tugging tight and binding the pink ranger in a spread eagle position.

Kat panicked and squirmed to no avail. She felt Jo's tongues start to move, unwinding from her neck and knees. Their bulbous tips tapped Kat with slime, and then began to lick her slowly. One lapped long slurps across her belly, sliding up between her breasts and wrapping around one. The tongue licked forward and pulled back, then tightened, then pulled all the way off before lunging right back over her breast. The monster growled happily as Kat stifled screams, trying to resist the urge to break down.

The flower's second tongue slowly snaked around Kat's thigh, tickling the insides with a slippery bulbous tip. They continued to slide up, Kat squirming more as she realized where it was headed. She tensed and bucked her hips, but the tongue lapped between her legs slipping and drooling slime over her tight cunny. The tongues worked incessantly on the prone ranger, working over her breasts and between her legs slobbering slime messily over her bare skin. The slight burning sensation made her buck more, unable to focus to fight off the tongue worming its way inside her.

With a scream the tongue pressed into Kat's tight cunny, wriggling and flopping wildly burrowing its way deeper inside. Kat panted and grunted writhing trying to free the tongue from her privates, pulling on her restraints but only serving to remind her how helpless she was to the plant's advances.

"Mmmmmmm...yummy!" the Claptrap's voice boomed in her ears, feeling the vibration of its eager gnashing. She let out a little squeak each time the large bulb pulled from her cunny, then another when it plunged back in. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, the flower enjoying tormenting her meal its tainted mind viewing it all as one big game.

After five minutes of slow slurping and licking, Kat couldn't take it any more and let out a loud scream. Without hesitation the petals snapped shut over the prone ranger, muffling her cries and leaving her waist and lower exposed.

As the Claptrap's petals sucked and licked its prey happily, Fleur walked up and stood with arms crossed, admiring her pet's capture.

"Tres bon mon fleur! Get her nice and loose for the next stage of her conversion," the skunk said smiling, reaching up to her head as two coconut sized seeds popped out of the purple flower behind her ear which had grown in since Swalleaf left her body.

Kat was releived for the moment when she felt the plant's tongue leaving her body. Stuck in darkness, unable to breathe she was panting hard and just wanting it all to end. She felt a furry digit prod at her vagina, then poke inside making Kat squirm. She bit her lip as a huge pressure forced her pussy open, something being shoved inside that stretched her out to the point of pain. She shouted uselessly into the roof of the petals, her cries drowned out by the sucking sound of the petals around her. A large object was stuffed inside her, intensifying the pain and fear that pervaded every sense. She breathed a sigh of relief as the object slid in past her cunny lips, but then shrieked and kicked out when another was stuffed roughly inside. She could hear the skunk's voice, the lilt of its accent on the outside no doubt teasing her.

Battered and worn down Kat gritted her teeth, but it was beginning to all crash down on her. She let out a defeated whimper, feeling the second coconut sized seed thrust into her. Her legs stopped kicking and her struggles ceased. The pink ranger's mind was broken, and she just waited for her inevitable devouring by the plant.

With a slow slurp, Kat felt herself travel up the petals towards the mouth. She felt the teeth bite down over her head just long enough to pull her inside before opening and biting down a little lower. Aided by the slime covering her body Kat slid easily into the Claptrap's maw. Her head was stuffed into the tight throat, the acrid smell of the monster's slime stinging her nose as the peristaltic motions of the monster's throat relentlessly pulled her deeper, inch by inch.

The former pink ranger was bent, squeezed prodded and sucked into the closed petals of the flower. Her feet disappeared into the plant's petals followed by a myriad of smacks and pops, like the last piece of spaghetti being slurped up. The flower opened its petals again and Kat was gone, only a grinning toothy maw in the center of the bouncing flower.

The Claptrap's pot belly swelled up noticeably, rubbing it tenderly with its vines and letting out a deep mmmmm.

Inside the belly, Kat felt herself travel through a tight choking tube while all the blood rushed to her head. Time was distorted, and after a while her head popped into a large open area, gasping for air but coughing with the thick acidic smell. She slipped slowly into the chamber at first, and then as gravity took over she popped out into the open. She felt vines brushing against her face, but without any strength to grab on Kat fell through the air and landed in the pool of acid with a resounding splash. 

Without any will left in her Kat felt the warm tingle turn to a burn, feeling herself drift away. But instead of fading, she was suddenly filled with a burst of electric energy. Her eyes opened wide and her senses became more acute. She could feel the plant around her, pulsing and flowing with power. Kat felt a tingle from between her legs, growing to a pulsing and then a pounding. Her skin suddenly caught fire as the pulsing inside her exploded in a constant electric charge, causing her whole body to tense up. The power from within grew more and more giving her a full bloated feeling all over. A warmth was enveloping around her from the outside, the slime starting to coalesce on her skin and absorb into it. 

Suddenly Kat felt a painful jolt in her mind, like the worst migraine headache she'd ever had. She tensed up and fought it, but it just spread from the back of her head to the front. It was intense, but as it took over it started to heat, giving off a pleasant warm feeling. Her senses filled with thoughts of plants...starting with images, species types and stages of development. But as the energy intensified the images came faster, taking her inside the plant themselves. She could see the cells working and pumping, going in and out of flowers and trees the thoughts teaching her inside and out what it meant to be a plant. But as she traveled down to the roots, she felt a tremendous sucking power. She felt the need to suck nutrients from the earth, and then her vision scanned up to see the soil, made up of dirt and the carcasses of...animals. Kat was suddenly filled with the desire to feed, as if the needs of all the plants in the world were funneling into her at once. She could barely focus, her mind slipping away amongst the endless stream of emotions being pumped into her.

Claptrap sat against a tree and rubbed its belly, having swollen to twice its size.

"Oooh I think she's ready! Mon petite Fleur, why don't you release our newest member of our plant kingdom!"

Claptrap opened its petals, it's belly burbling loudly as with a loud burb a giant green bulb was ejected from the flower, landing on the ground in a puddle of purple slime. The bulb started to shift and crackle, then unfold into a bed of petals. Inside a humanoid creature stirred, its head topped with a giant rose and deep red eyes on a white feminine face. As it stood Fleur admired what Kat had become. She stood tall and had a shapely body with wide hips and a large bosom, which was covered by a diamond of pink that extended from her neck down past her belly. Her shoulders were covered with large green petals, as well as petals behind her head creating an elegant collar to frame the rose on top of her head. Two downward facing roses made up the cuffs just above her feet, and another around her left hand. Her right hand however was a giant clam-shaped maw with sharp teeth up and down. Four long green thorny vines hung from her head like long braids, tipped with a red flower at the end each

"I think I could get used to this..." the creature spoke in a silky tone, a refined version of Kat's voice. She looked at herself and smiled, opening and closing the maw experimentally.

"Bienvenue a mon jardin, Botanica!"

The creature looked over to see a voluptuous green female skunk smiling at her. She looked around and other creatures - a giant bulb of a plant with legs as well as a walking flower with a pot belly. On the ground all around her were smaller flowers just like the larger ones, three petals and little maws gnashing about as they grew up from the earth.

"It's too bad mon amour...you missed out on the first batch of humans my lovely Swalleaf brought back. But I did save one especially for you! You must be famished!"

Botanica stepped over and watched on with interest as Swalleaf waddled over to the skunk, it spat up a blue form then turned into a gold ball of light that floated up onto Fleur's head and absorbed into her flower, turning it gold and black once again.

Rocky groaned, dazed and disoriented and covered in slime. He tried to get up, slipping twice on the slime before pulling himself to his knees. Looking up, he saw a feminine plant standing before him.

"K...Kat?" Rocky asked weakly. His answer was given as Botanica reached her maw-arm towards the ranger. It flew open then snapped down over his head. Too weak to fight, Rocky flopped down onto the ground only to be pulled back up again by the pull of the maw. It crunched and chomped over the lifeless form of the ranger, scarfing him inside in quick succession.

Fleur de Moufette watched on as the former ranger devoured Rocky inch by inch, seeing a gleam of sheer evil joy in her eyes as he traveled down her arm and into her belly.

Looking around, Fleur felt the plants growing all around her.  With no rangers or beetleborgs to protect the world, it would only be a matter of time before the planet became the next Garden of Eden, with all the people of the world to feed it.

The End!!!
