The Beast with in Him

Chapter 1

Ryan Mitchell was looking at his reflex ion on the mirror. He was inspecting his left cheek, it was bruised and it was still painful. She was really strong and she could really hit he thought.

He hadn't done it on purpose. How was he supposed to know when she was putting on clothes and when not? He wasn't a mind reader. He just Ryan!

There was a knock on the bathroom door,

"Dude, would you mind hurrying up, I got to use the bathroom to you know" said a desperate voice that belonged to Joel.

"O.k. I am nearly finished" said Ryan

"Thank God for small Mercies" muttered Joel.

"I heard that Joel" cried out Ryan

Then the bathroom door opened and a distinctively bruise could be seen on Ryan's left cheek.

Joel just chuckled, everyone in the Aquabase knew about the incident. It had been extremely amusing to hear that Ryan had barged into Kelsey's room while she was putting on clothes. She had been so angry that she had slapped Ryan and sent him flying out of the room. The after result had been a very painful cheek.
"Looks better than before" smirked Joel.

"Yeah sure, you know she could've broken my cheekbone or osmetrhing worse" moaned Ryan.

Joel slammed the bathroom door shut and yelled "Don't wait for me, I'll probably be here a while in here".

Ryan just smiled and left the room.

"Hey sis, what's up?" asked Ryan.

"Oh hi, no nothing I am just trying to find Dad, I want to talk to him about some stuff" said Dana nervously and walked away.

His sister indeed was beautiful and very sweet but at times she could just be extremely boring he thought. He touched his cheek one more time and walked to the cafeteria.

There he met Carter, Chad and Kelsey. They were having breakfast and when they saw Ryan they started laughing.

Ryan looked at them and sat down.

Kelsey was the first to speak.

"How's your cheek?" she asked trying to sound concerned but didn't quite make it.

"Fine" he lied. The truth was it was still very painful but he wasn't going to give Kelsey that satisfaction. They finished their breakfast and each went their own way.

Chad was going was going to meet Aquamarine. Carter had gone to check on his weapons that had been severely damaged on their last battle.

Dana and Joel were busy doing who knows what and Kelsey; well he wasn't really in the mood for her.

He left the base and went into the city. He went window shopping something he rarely did. The he saw it. His dream had come true. The most perfect of all the perfects. There is stood behind a glass window. He went into the shop and asked how much the motorcycle cost, he nearly fell backward. The price was too high and he walked out in disappointment.

Then he spotted some brown curls waving around in the air. "Kelsey" he thought. To his surprise he followed her and there she was fighting with some driver who had tried to run over her.

"You stupid guy! Why don't you learn how to drive!" yelled Kelsey while the driver was swearing at her.

Ryan had to laugh at the sight, Kelsey was tiny and waving her hands all over the place.

"In trouble again?" he asked.

Kelsey turned round and looked at him and said with a twinkle in her eye

"How about another bruised cheek?" she asked in a extremely sweet tone.

Ryan shook his head and Kelsey laughed she quickly apologized and touched his cheek. He yelped in pain.

"Sorry about that, you know I didn't hit on purpose you just caught me off guard and that was my reaction" she said.

"Don't worry, I am the one that should apologize, I just entered your room and I shouldn't have done that, so are we alright then?"

Kelsey just nodded and tried to punch him, but Ryan was quicker and grabbed her by the waist and picked her up. Kelsey was laughing hysterically and between laughs she'd yell a put me down!

They walked back to the Aquabase. Dana was still looking for her father. He had to tell him, this couldn't wait. Something was very wrong with her brother and she didn't want to lose him again.

"Dana" yelled Captain Mitchell.

"Dad, finally I find you, I have been looking all over the place for you" said Dana.

"Yes I know, sorry about that, so well what is it?"

Dana looked down and then grabbed her father into the Lab where she closed the doors and took out a series of blood samples and papers.

The Captain just watched her daughter.

"Dad, remember you asked to take blood samples from all of the rangers, well when I was checking Ryan's sample something odd appeared".

Captain Mitchell straightened up and looked at his daughter with concern.

She continued talking "his blood samples show a strange type of DNA in a small part of his body".

"What does that mean?"

"I don't really know, but what I understand is that something is growing in Ryan's body, it is using his energy to develop slowly".

The Captain looked at his daughter with his eyes wide open. No not again, he thought. "Can we do something about it?"

"Well, I have to work on this and I'll ask Miss. Fareweather to help me out".

Dana and The Captain left the lab with a lot on their minds. Ryan had to know, and he wasn't going to like it.

He had already gone through so much thought The Captain.
