*Claire Romero*

10 YEARS AGO:

Ten years ago the ninja nexus prism fell out of the sky... right into the Romero backyard. Three kids and there father lived there.

Dane Romero said that the prism came to him and his family for a reason. He removed its metallic crust. Inside the prism was the mysterious ninja nexus star.

Somehow Dane was able to reach right into the solid prism and pull it out. He had no idea of its legendary power.

Brody Romero was outside doing ninja training like his father told him too. Suddenly Galvanax appeared. He is looking for the ninja prism.

Young Brody spotted them and began to yell out for his family.

"DAD! AIDEN! HELP!" He knew that his little sister couldn't help but his older brother and his dad could.

Dane Romero heard his sons cries and quickly grabbed his ninja sword.

He quickly gathered the ninja steel and turned to his oldest child. His daughter was at a friends house which is a good thing as she is only five.

"Brody is in trouble," he says to Aiden. "Take the ninja steel and hide it. Aiden, until I come back you stay hidden too like a ninja."

Aiden nods not knowing he will never see his father again. "Okay dad."

"And don't worry," Dane says gripping his child's shoulder. "I'll save your brother. I love you."

They hug and Aiden replies with. "I love you too dad."

Dane quickly runs outside and pulls his sword out of its holster. He sees Galvanax stood there holding his son close to him.

"So you are the ninja master!" Galvanax says as he sees Dane.

"Let Brody go!" Dane orders wanting his son safe and out of the line of fire.

"Of course!" Galvanax agrees he says releasing the child who begins to run towards his father. "You're surrounded anyway!"

As Brody runs towards him Dane pulls him behind him for protection. Then a bunch of other monsters appear.

"You're not going anywhere!" One of them says.

Another one known as Madame Odious laughs as she approaches. Dane realises that he cannot get his son to safety right now either.

"Now give me the ninja nexus star!" Galvanax orders him.

Thinking of his and his sons safety Dane holds the star out in front of him.

"You can't give it to him dad," Brody points out.

"HE HAS NO CHOICE!" Galvanax yells sending a blast at the two.

Dane shoves Brody out of the way and holds the star up to block the blast. The star sends a ray of light down onto Dane's body. Suddenly he is surrounded by a red suit. The nexus ninja star had turned him into the red ranger.

"What?" Galvanax asks in shock when he sees what happened.

Brody gasps from the ground.

"The legend is true!" Madame odious says clearly impressed. "He's become a power ranger!"

"Brody stay back!" Dane tells his son wanting to keep him safe.

Galvanax runs at Dane but quickly stops when Dane jumps into the air. He does a back flip and when he comes down he strikes Galvanax as he lands. They begin to fight with Galvanax using his spear to block Dane's sword.

"Hand over that star!" He orders the red ranger.

"NEVER!" Dane says as a forceful push from Galvanax sends his flipping backwards.

Ripcon the other monster with Galvanax decides to take Brody.

"You're coming with me rat bait!" He says rushing over to the small child.

He picks Brody up who naturally begins to panic. He gasps not knowing what to do.

Back at the battle Dane kicks Galvanax sending him flat on his back.

"DAD!" Brody called out wanting to get away from Ripcon.

"Brody!" Dane says finally realising the danger that his son is in right now. "GET AWAY FROM MY SON!"

He begins to run to save Brody. But Galavanax takes advantage of this and once more sends a blast at Dane.

Dane cries out as the blast sends him spinning into the air. He lands on the ground and demorphs from the pain of the blast.

The bad thing is the ninja nexus star went high into the air and dropped to the ground.

Galvanax reaches down and plucks the star from the ground.

"Yes!" He says triumphantly. "The ninja nexus star is mine! Once I absorb its power, I'll rule the universe!"

Dane badly injured on the ground, tries to get up but, he falls back down. He is bright red in the face and you can see the pain written on his face.

Galvanax begins to absorb its energy.

"With the ninja nexus star you'll be invincible!" Madame odious says she walks towards Galvanax.

Brody shakes his head as he continues to watch Galvanax absorb the stars power.

Dane is now down on one knee. He knows he needs to do something.

"That star came to me," he says watching Galvanax. "So I could protect it from evil like you!"

He glances down at his sword and grabs it. He jumps high into the air and strikes the ninja stat with a strong blow. It shatters into pieces from the force of the blow.

There is a blast and everyone is surrounded by white smoke. Everyone also gets knocked off of there feet.

Brody quickly leans on his arms and searches for his father.

"DAD!" He calls out hoping he will get an answer. "DAD!"

He quickly gets to his feet and runs to the spot where he last seen his father. But he had vanished. Where he had been the ninja nexus prism now stood there. Inside were the shattered pieces of the ninja nexus star. They begin to transform into separate ninja stars. There are 7 in total. Red, Blue, Yellow, White, Pink, Gold and Black.

Brody reaches his and out wondering whether he could pull one out.

"BACK OFF!" Galvanax says suddenly appearing and shoving Brody out of the way. "They're mine!"

He begins to strike the prism hoping to break it and release the stars.

"It can't be broken!" Odious points out to her leader.

Galvanax groans. "I'll find a way to get those stars out! And once I do, the universe will grovel at my feet. Bring the prism to the ship! And put that brat in chains!"

"You're Galvanax's prisoner now rat bait!" Ripcon says as he picks up Brody and throws him over his shoulder.

"AIDEN!" Brody yells wanting his big brother to help him. "AIDEN!"

A few hours after the three disappear a car pulls up. A woman with dark brown hair climbs out and heads to the back of the car. She helps a little girl out of the car that looks a lot like Brody.

"Come on Claire," she says smiling as she walks with her towards the porch. "I'm sure your father is waiting fr you!"

Claire hops up the steps and begins to yell for her father as soon as the door has opened. But there is no answer. She decides to yell for her brother but receives no answer from them either.

She runs around her whole house but cannot find them. Approaching the woman again she waits patiently as she tries to ring her father.

When no one answers she turns back to the little girl who now has tears in her eyes.

"Come on, you can come back with me for now," she says taking the girls hand again.

Claire's POV:

I sit up after having the same bad dream. The one where I was there when my father decided he no longer wanted his daughter and took of without her.

I look around at my new room. Dumbly my foster mum had decided to move back to summer cove.

I get up and take a shower before turning to my foster sister.

"Amy," I say and she wakes up. "Time for school."

She groans but begins to get up while I get dressed.

I am putting my hair up when she approaches and smiles at me through the mirror.

"How you doing?" She asks gently.

"Starting a new school that I actually should have been going to anyway..." I begin before sighing. "Its hard."

"GIRLS!" Eliza yelled up the stairs to us. "BREAKFAST!"

We both go down the stairs and sit down to eat. After breakfast I turn to Amy.

"Can I meet you at the entrance to school?" I ask and she raises an eyebrow. "There's somewhere I need to go."

She sighs in understanding before nodding.

I get up and hug her tight before turning to my dog. She's a black Labrador and she is the one thing that has helped me get through my abandonment and anger issues.

"Bye Raven!" I say patting her on the head.

*Claire Romero*

I head to the place I had not been in ten years. It didn't really look different. It was empty but looked the same.

Part of me was hoping that my family would be here. But of course not.

I head to the barn and to our secret hiding place. I look through all the things but one in particular makes me want to cry.

It's a picture. My dad had just won a trophy. He has it in one hand. I am sat on his knee smiling like there is no tomorrow. My brothers are on either side of us also smiling.

It was the last picture taken of us before they disappeared.

Glancing at my watch I realise I need to go or I am going to be late for school. Shoving the things back into the hiding spot I make my way out of the house.

I am shocked when I see some sort of star on the ground. It is black with some sort of black ranger in the middle. From what I remember of my dads teachings I know that this is a ninja star.

I pick it up wondering how it got all the way out here.

*Claire Romero*

Summer cove high school. It looks kind of bleak.

Heading inside I spot Amy waiting for me.

We share a small smile as we head to the office. Once inside we recieve our schedules.

We do not get very far when we hear a few voices.

"Come on Brody!" One says and I motion for Amy to follow me. "We need to head to class."

I don't see the persons face but I swear they said Brody. Or maybe Its my imagination.

My first class was Maths. It was pretty easy as we had already covered Pythagoras in my last school.

But on the way to my next lesson I hear another voice.

"Brody, training tonight?" A girl says.

This time I knew it was not my imagination I speed walk leaving Amy to run after me. I stop when I nearly run into someone.

I recognise the face straight away. The hair, the skin tone, those eyes. It has to be Brody. But he has not seen me since I was little so he wonders why I have not moved out of his way.

"Can I help you?" He asks and I notice his friends also stop.

"No!" I say as Amy approaches my side and she also looks shocked. "It can't be him! He's gone! They're all gone!"

"Hey, are you okay?" A blonde haired woman wearing a pink shirt asks.

Amy places a hand on my shoulder. "Claire... calm down... come on."

The guy goes wide eyed and steps closer to me. "Claire?"

I look into his eyes and this was all it took for me to burst into tears and run off. I could hear both Amy and Brody calling after me.

How is Brody here? And where is Aiden and dad? Why did they leave me?

I decide to just finish my classes where I do not speak to anyone and then I head home. I do not speak for the rest of the night.
