***Disclaimer I do not own Power Rangers. or Sonic characters.******

How did this even happen, Goldar had somehow gotten through Decca's surveillance and made his way to the bridge and got Alpha. The rangers stood there with shock. They were told to hand over their power coins and Alpha would be released. Not only that but tenga warriors had snuck up from behind and grabbed them. Only to release them when they complied with the demands. They had to wonder how did it spiral this far out of control.

####Earlier on that day####

Steven had just entered the bridge and looked over at the pink ranger would was usually the first one up, aside from Alpha. Smiling he snuck over to her and reached out his hand.

"Hey, Steven." she said

The silver ranger jumped back "You...how did you do that, Marisol?"

She smiled on the inside "That's my secoret." she stated with an amused smirk, but then changed back to a neutral look, with her usual unamused frown.

Alpha re-entered the bridge "Oh, good morning Steven." He said "Marisol"

"Morning Alpha." Steven said and Marisol gave a light wave, with her ring finger and pinky curled a bit inwards, as a form of saying 'hi'.

Alpha sighed, sometimes he thought that Marisol did not really like him that much. While she was usually kind to him. The way she was always silent, and that light glare she had most of the time made him think she was silently judging people. He decided to bring it up to Trish and Mark again and see if it is just him being paranoid. He knew that Marisol was not the type of ranger that had been selected in the past, she was less perky than the past Pink Rangers, it made her seem somewhat lifeless.

"I'm heading to Earth. Call if you need me." Marisol stated finishing pulling her brownish-blonde hair into a braide and walked out of the room.

Dillan and Mark entered the bridge shortly after Marisol left. Having passed her in the halls neither one questioned where she was going. Mark had to suppress a sigh, Marisol had changed since her trip with her grandma. Whenever it was brought up, she would act as if it was nothing or tell them to drop it because it was done and over with. It had been almost five years since that trip and both him and Trish had not heard a single word about the trip.

At least she livened up a bit now that she was living with her dad and not her mom and her two younger siblings. It seemed like she was always called by her mom and given a list of chores she had to do. Most of the time she was in the middle of fighting when she was called. Now they normally never really minded the calls, more or less tolerated them because she had no idea that her daughter was a Power Ranger. It upset them when she had said 'You're doing nothing important right now...', so much that it became her catch phrase, that was when they started to get annoyed by it.

Those words were usually followed by the chores Carol wanted done that day. Marisol had a job, took care of the house and was a Power Ranger, so by the end of the day one would think she'd be fried, but somehow she was not. Now that she was living with her dad, they split the chores and there was really not a lot to do. Considering that there was only two people living there.

Trish and Marisol were sitting at the Angelgrove Gym they had just gotten done sparing and were now having fruit smoothies to replenish their energy.

"So..." Trish started "How's Dr. Eliz doing?"

Raising an eyebrow she looked at her doppelganger. "Why." she questioned

"Well, she did move."

"Your point." Marisol demanded

"Look I want to know how she is handing the move." The brunette stated

"Fine." Marisol sighed "She is handling the move fine. She really likes the warm weather."

"Did she..?"

"Yeah, I have the key." Marisol said low enough for only Trishillia to hear.

"Cool" Trish smiled

A small smile appeared on Marisol's lips before it vanished as quickly as it came. "I still wish I knew what happened to make you so closed off." Trish added

"Trish." Marisol warned "We have been over this. I don't want to talk about it. Nothing happened."

"Alpha thinks you hate him." The girl in yellow blurted in a low voice.

"...I know. I'm trying to show some emotions but...after so long of hiding them, it is hard to turn them back on. I'll talk to him later on today. Try to at least."

After paying for their drinks the girls headed to met Sue and the others in the park. Sue was sitting in a light blue shirt and a dark blue skirt the flowed to her knees. She smiled at the two approaching and waved them over. It was not long until the boys teleported from the ship to the park. Tengas appeared with putties around them.

Jumping up the rangers started to fight, first focusing on the putties considering they were the easiest ones to take down. The tengas were a bit stronger and could fly. Jumping and flipping the teens fought, making them run into each other or trees. Eventually the park was clear of the putties and tengas. Sue pulled her hair out of her eyes, and took the hair tie that Marisol offered. The telekinetic always had hair ties to spare, considering that she always had her hair up in pony tails or braids, she always had hair ties to spare.. The red haired ranger looked around waiting for either Goldar, Rito, or the weeks new monster to fight.

When no monster showed up all the rangers were surprised. Normally Rita and Zedd sent someone either with their first wave or after they were defeated. Closing her eyes Marisol listened and waited to hear screams that said the monster was in another part of town, and the tengas they just fought was a distraction. Dillan tapped the girl in pink on the shoulder to get her attention. Opening her eyes she looked at the black ranger.

"Hmh?" she hummed

"You okay?" he asked her "You closed your eyes for a while."

She was confused for awhile then remembered that this team had no idea about her powers or her past hero status, so she smiled ad said "Yeah, I'm fine."

After he looked away Marisol's smile faded. The others were used to her locking her emotions up, though to be fair she had opened up a bit. Small smiles was the only thing she gave them. Trish and Mark had seen her angry before and knew the reason she kept her emotions bottled up. Though they only knew half the reason why. The main reason she never told anyone. A secoret that she is bent on keeping to her grave.

They looked around a bit more and waited for an attack, still nothing came. By the time an hour had past they were starting to get worried. Rita and Zed might not be the brightest villains, but they weren't the dumbest either. If they attacked then they had a plan ready. With either a monster, one of her minions, or Rito. Finally the silence was too much and one of them contacted Alpha.

"Alpha, did Rita and Zed send a monster somewhere? We were just attacked by putties and tegas and then nothing after that." Steven explained "Do you think they are up to something?"

"I'm unsure Rangers." the robot replied "Rita and Zed were never really that patient in the past. They could be planning something big so watch out. They could have sent they as a distraction for something." he warned

"We'll be on our toes." Trish and Marisol said together.

"You two sound like twins." he replied "you even look the part. Are you two sure your not twins?"

Trish blushed while Marisol stood there with a slightly amused expression. "We've been told that multiple times." Marisol said "But, yeah we're sure we are not twins."

Once they got off the communicator they left the park. Deciding to split off into small groups, that way it would not look that something was up. The girls headed to the mall section, Marisol being reluctant to go, while the boys headed to the juice bar and gym. Once they were done they were going to met up at the Angel Grove public pool. The boys laughed at the blonde as she mouthed 'Help Me.' While she did not mind shopping, if she could find something that she liked that was her style she would get it. Carol, her mom, ruined shopping for her considering that every time they went together, Carol would get Marisol lace shirts, or something princess themed, too tight or in her words undignifying. Then force her to wear it later on, with would either make her look like an idiot, if it was princess dress, make her incredibly uncomfortable or with the lace have a rash for two weeks on her arms and neck. She had a light allergy to lase so she would not break out in hives, but the rash was still difficult to deal with.

The girls were looking at the dresses Sue had pulled a dress with a lace bodice and showed it to the girl in pink. "Look Marc, I found a cute dress for you."

Taking a look at it she shook her head "It has lace, see the bodice. It is all lace." she explained

"Your allergic to lace. Right Marisol?" Sue asked looking at the dress.

"Yeah, though not too severely." She said

"So, if you had to wear it you could?" Sue asked

"Nope, she would find a way not to wear the lace, or a way to get out of wearing it." Trish said

The blonde glared at her friend, even though she knew that it was true. Half the time her mom gave her something lace it would always end up being re-gifted.

"So, if she is allergic, why does her mom buy lace stuff for her?" Sue asked

Marisol sighed "My mom, thinks I just don't' want to wear anything nice. She thinks I'm making up being slightly allergic to lace." after picking up a dress she walked over to the dressing room then added "Besides she's just trying to put her fashion sense on me. I never really liked lace. Even before finding out I was allergic, thought to be fair it could have been a certain type of lase."

While the other two looked for stuff to get Marisol walked out of the changing room.

"So...what'dya think?" she asked

Turning around they saw that she had a pink sleeveless kimono one with black trim, silver vines, and red roses. The dress stopped in the middle of her knee and ankle, with a slit on both sides about an inch, and a color that stopped a fourth way up her neck. With the curls in her hair she looked pretty, The flower stud earrings she normally wears tied the dress together perfectly. Even though one earring was aqua and the other was pink.

"Wow." Trish whispered

"Marc, you look great." Sue said "That dress is perfect for you."

With a small smile she nodded her head, turning back to the hanging room she came out a minute later.

"I'll take it then" she said

"I still don't know how you change so fast." Sue stated

Sharing a look, both Marisol and Trish practically communicated with their eyes. "I am the middle child out of four boys." Marisol replied without thinking.

Sue shrugged "Yeah, I guess you're right."

The two release a breath of relief. Sometimes the other rangers were too quick to put together their strange behaviors along with Mark's. It made them worried that at some point they would have to tell them all about their past hero status.

They headed to another part of the store, one of the few sections Marisol usually shops at. Stopping in the bookstore the girls looked around. Sue was interested in romance novels and started to look at those, she noticed that Marisol was looking at the SIF books, mystery and horror books. Trish was not really picky on the type of books she like so she looked for what seemed interesting.

###

The boys had finished their workout and waited for the girls. They had already gotten their suits and were currently waiting by the entrance to the pool. Dillan sighed the girls were never late. Yet today they were and it made him worry. Mark seemed not to care, as if this had happened to him multiple of times before. Steven was relaxed about it and it made him a bit upset. His girlfriend was late and he did not care. Then again it was only five minutes so he shouldn't get that worked up. Considering that all three girls had proven more than capable of protecting themselves.

Tenga warriors appeared out of nowhere and the boys got straight to work fighting them off. Though fighting it proved to be a bit difficult because of their recent workout. They still managed to defeat them. Though they fund it odd how quick they were able to defeat them. Five minutes later the girls came running over, looking a bit tired.

"What happened?" Trish asked

"We were attacked, by tangas." Steven answered as he looked at his girlfriend. She seemed to be staring off into space.

"I suggest we go and see what's happening." Mark declared "Perhaps, Rita and Zedd are not really up to anything and it is just their minions acting on their own again."

All of the rangers nodded in agreement and teleported to the Astroid Megaship after glancing around to make sure no one would see them teleport. When they got to the ship they entered the bridge. Stopping short they saw a sight that made them freeze. Alpha was being held in a threatening manner by Goldar. All the rangers entered the bridge and got ready to morph.

"I would not do that if I were you." He said. "Surrender the power coins otherwise the tin-can gets it."

No one knew what to do. As if to make their situation worse, tengas had grabbed them from behind pinning their arms behind their backs. To keep them from fighting, and stopping their plan by morphing. The teens watched as Goldar's sword was pointed at Alpha's neck. The robot was shaking in fear, and they could tell he was trying to be brave; as he was attempting to hold still.

Marisol's eyes narrowed "We will never surrender." She said. She could feel the cosmic energy flow through her veins faster, as if requesting to be set free. Her eyes closed briefly to forcibly stop the flow of power. As the others struggled to get away Mark, Trish and Marsol stayed put. Sighing each of them gave the other a look before nodding.

Flipping backwards the three stood with their hands loosely clasped in the tengas hands. Ripping their hands away in one fluent motion and they were free. Goldar tossed Alpha to the side and was ready to strike him down. The blonds eyes flashed with pink before quickly making her way over to them and she released the build up cosmic energy. When she did a clear shield appeared out of nowhere surrounding her and Alpha in a dome. Pulling her sword out of her bag to met Goldars with a loud clang. It had all happened so fast that everyone was speechless. When she realized what happened Marisol was shocked. She had just let everyone in the bridge know that she had powers.

Goldar had called a retreat taking the tengas with his as he fled the ship. Without relizing the shield was still up Marisol reached out a hand to Alpha only to pull back when he flinched away from her in fear. Alpha paused when he felt a wave a hurt flow through, and tilted his head to the side. No one said anything creating an awkward silence between the rangers. Everyone knew that they needed to talk, though they did not know where to begin. The silence that lasted for a good ten minutes, felt like an eternity.

Steven managed to break the silence by asking "What are you?" and quickly regretted it.

Signing Marisol said "I am a telekinetic. I've had these powers since the day I was born. As I grew up they strengthened and moved a bit outwards." Nodding to the other two as a signed for them to come clean as well.

"I'm a psychic." Trish stated "All those times when I predicted how to stop a monster or some attack, that was how."

"What are you Mark? A shapeshifter, a telekinetic or psychic well?" Sue asked in shock

"None of the above." he replied "I'm as human as all of you...I think."

"What about all those moves you guys did?" Dillan asked "I don't think I have ever seen you or anyone fight like that before."

"It's called Ninjutsu." Mark said

"And we know it." Trish and Marisol added

"Because we are ninjas." they said at the same time.

"Wait, wait wait." Alpha said "How are you three ninjas, and why not tell us."

"That part of our lived died, the day our hero names died." Marisol said bitterly

Mark jumped in before anyone could asked what she meant "What Marisol means is; that when they were told they were moving to Angel Grovel, we knew that we could not keep our identities a secret when they left. So a few weeks before they left the three of us faked the New York Ninjas' deaths."

"We did not want to but, we had no choice. If we would have left them alive then people would think we abandoned them. We had to do what we thought was right."

Trish added "As for not telling you, we did not realy think it mattered that you did not know about was being ninjas."

"The power situation was about trust. I wanted to know that you would not freak out when you found out about our abilities." THe girl in pink said with no a lot of emotion.

"How did you become ninjas?" Steven asked

The three teens spent the next few hours telling the others how they became ninjas and all they did to help out the team before their first solo mission as a team.

Who the leader of their team was and the day they started and ended their ninja carrer, and skipping over the story on how she got that scar on the back of her

left should, Marisol did not what to tell them how she almost died. It was night time back in Angel Grove when the three of them got done telling to others about

their ninja lives all of them figuring that it was a good idea to go home and rest up for the next day. Unsure of what monsters they would have to fight or what they would have planned. After saying goodnight to everyone the rangers went to leave before Alpha said something in a teasing way.

"Any more secrets that any of you think that needs to be shared with us."

Shaking their heads each ranger left till Marisol was the only one there.

"Look, Alpha, I'm sorry." she said rubbing the back of her head.

"Why?" he asked her

"I've been told I've been a bit of a jerk to you." She explained

Shrugging his shoulders Alpha replied "Well not really. I mean there were times that I thought you did not like me that well. Then I had to remind myself that you are not like the other past rangers."

"Yeah, I guess I'm not." she sighed

"Ah,..I-I-I did not mean that in a bad way." Alpha said thinking he offended her

"No worries Alpha." the pink ranger replied

"Still why were you avoiding me?"

Marisl felt like she had been slaped acrossed her face "I...it's..." Sighing she decided to open up a bit about something that happened four in a half years ago. "You remind me of a friend of mine. I met her when I went on a trip with my grandma. She was the sweetest, most caring and loving person you'd ever meet." A small smile crept its way on Marisol's face as she remembered her friend.

"What happened to her?" Alpha asked

The small smile fell replacing it with a pained frown. "I don't like to talk about it." 'I don't need your sympathy.' she added in her mind

Alpha could actually hear the pain and sadness in Marisol's words, a first for her. Normally she would keep the feelings in her words to a minimum. Knowing that she was a ninja leader he knew that it was important for her to keep her emotions in check and not to let them figure things out by the tone of her voice. It made him feel a bit better that it was her training that caused her to be a bit more cut off then the other rangers.

"There are no more secrets, right?" Alpha asked

"No, there are not. At least not any important secrets" she replied Giving Alpha a kind genuine smile she left, teleporting from the Bridge of the ship to her room.

"If only that was true." She said to herself. Pulling out a picture out of a hidden drawer she looked at it and tears came to her eyes, but never fell. It was a black and white photo with her in it. The picture was of her when she was twelve, in a group photo with her grandma, her grandma's work partner, his granddaughter and someone in the middle of the girls. Both girls were sitting in front, in front of their respected grandparent, while a figure sat in between them. Marisol and this girl had an arm around his shoulders. They were all smiling like a happy little family. "There are so many things I wish I could tell, but have no idea how too." a single tear fell from her eyes. "If only I was faster." she whispered as she placed the picture in her bag.

Shadow stood on a hill underneath a tree, looking up at the stars. He had taken Professor Gerald's journal from Dr. Eggman, and found out that there were to other people on the Ark, that he had known. If only he could remember them. He had learned very little about himself from the journal. He had to find out who he was. Dr. Eggman had dragged him to this dimention back with him, and while he was glad to be allowed to walk around freely again. He still wanted answers. Memories would come and go. Mostly about Maria or the Professor. Flashes of memories about another blonde haired girl and a white haired woman. All he could see was their faces, he never heard any of their voices. Their names evaded his mind, but he felt like he knew them.
