Disclaimer- I don't own the power rangers but I just like to burrow them sometimes.
Author note: this story is somewhat sad but is not a slash. Conner see's Dr.O as a father figure. Also the song is black parade by my chemical romance.
The air was cold, not just cold Conner thought but cold, wet and sad. It was like the earth itself was mourning the death of the greatest man the world had every seen. This mad had severed as a ranger for almost 15 years only to be broken. The song the black parade was playing on the radio as he drove from the funeral.
When
I was
A young boy,
My father, took me into the city
To see
a marching band
He said "son when, you grow up,
will
you be, the saviour
of the broken, the
beaten
and the damned."
He smiled as the memories of Dr.O filled his mind. From the first time he said don't call me dude, to the time Dr.O had taught him that being a hero was more than morphing into a armor. Dr.O was more than just a man to him; he was a mentor, a teacher, and a father figure.
He
said "will you defeat them,
your
demons, and all the non-believers,
the
plans that they have made,
Because
one day, I'll leave you,
a
phantom, to lead you in
the summer, to
join the black parade."
As the song plays on he knew it was so fitting to Dr.O he had left to be in the black parade, along with his fellow team mates. But Dr.O held on for as long as possible. He was just tried, so tried. Conner himself felt that way at times, he hope Dr.O said hello to Hayley for them.
They had lost her four months back, and Dr.O held on for that long until he just got to lonely. They found each other once he only hoped they would again.
Sometimes
I get the feeling, she's watching over me
And other times I feel
like I should go
When through it all, the rise and fall
The
bodies in the street
And when you're gone we want you all to know
He
started his car up but couldn't bring himself to drive off yet. The
song played on he knew that this was a tribute to a man who taught
him how to be a man.
We'll carry on, We'll carry on
And
though you say you don't believe
Your memory will carry on
We'll
carry on
Until my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't
explain it
The world may never know that Dr. Thomas James Oliver was the greatest power ranger ever, but he did. And in that Dr.O would live on though him. he would tell the story, he would let someone know who the ranger was, and after all now the ranger's identities were out.
And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
You're
misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it
back
Lets shout it loud and clear
To fight it to the end we
hear the call
To carry on
He felt his pride turn on him making him feel tainted. He could smell fear, his fear he was scared of being alone. The other rangers had gone onto now he was alone it car thinking about his mentor. And perhaps the only person to actually get him, he felt robbed his friend, true friend was gone.
We'll carry on,
And
though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry
on
We'll carry on
And though your broken and defeated
Your
weary widow marches on
He
got out of the car and went back to the flesh ground where the tomb
stone stood. You can't just leave me damnit you're my hero,
you're my life. What I am I suppose to do now, who will lead me.
you selfish bastard you left me. he fell to his knee's crying, he
felt the wind pick up and he though he felt a hand rest on his
shoulder as he cried.
And
on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh
Disappointed faces of
your piers
Oh oh oh
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care
at all
Do or die
He didn't want to be alone anymore; I'm scared how I go on with out my mentor. He cursed the wind, and threatened the rain why? He begged, please bring him back.
You'll
never make me
Because the world, will never take my (heart)
You
can try; you'll never break me
You want it all, I'm gonna play
this (part)
Won't explain, or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm
gonna show my (scar)
The wind played the lyrics like it was a movie, and Conner understood. He would go on he was now the mentor, he would lead the newest power rangers, life would go one full circle.
You're
the chair, for all the broken
Lose it here, because it's too meI'm
just a man; I'm not a hero
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this
(song)
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
I
Don't
Care
Yes Conner was just a boy, looking for a mentor, but Dr.O had made him a man, as Dr.O was now a hero. But Dr.O wasn't truly a hero he as just a man do what he had to do.
We'll
carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe
me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though your
broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Yes
Dr.O's memory would live on because Conner did.
You'll
never make me
Because the world, will never take my (heart)
You
can try; you'll never break me
You want it all, I'm gonna play
this (part)
Won't explain, or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm
gonna show my (scar)
You're the chair, for all the broken
Lose
it here, because it's too me
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
Just
a boy, whose meant to sing this (song)
I'm just a man; I'm not a
hero)
We'll carry on
Conner would show the world who he was and who his mentor was. He would be the mentor and soon his scars would fade. After all he was the man behind the hero. He walked back to the car. Stopped once and said goodbye Dr.O, thank you, you been everything I need in life. Thanks dude, with that Conner faded into the mess of the living. His own hero.
Please read and review!
