One Touch One Life Chapter 1
This is my first Power Rangers fanfiction! Please bear with me as I try to get the terms right! Also, I do not own any of these characters except for Rayana. All the other characters belong to Saban and whoever else owns the Power Rangers!
Enjoy!
Do you believe that you can make a difference in the Universe? Do you ever feel like you are meant for something more than what you are?
Let me introduce myself. I am Rayana well Lady Rayana. That was until I found my place in the universe. Now let me tell you my story….
300 years ago…
King Aragon sat on his throne and tapped it in disgust. He was not upset that his only daughter had married his arch rival's son. That was far from it. There was something far more disturbing to him.
It concerned a prophecy that was told by his court's astronomers. They told of a young human girl….born with special abilities…and she would be the downfall to all of the evil in the Universe.
Of course, this would not do for him. You see, King Aragon wanted more. Much more. He wanted not only King Mondo's machine kingdom but he wanted the whole universe.
He snapped his finger as his astronomers came to him and bowed at his feet.
"Well…tell me..Have you found the child of prophecy yet?!"
The oldest astronomer said," We have your majesty. She is a child born on Earth." As he threw magic sand up in the air and it showed a picture of the young girl. "We know where she is on Earth."
King Aragon scowled," What a rotten little devil…a girl. What nerve…" as he sneered," Guards go hunt this child of 5 years old down and kill her as soon as you see her. Do not give her mercy."
The guards nodded as the captain replied," Yes your majesty. Soldiers move out!" as they manned their planes and took off for Earth.
King Aragon frowned as he said," That wench…she will die…and die a slow painful death." As his frown turned to a smirk," Then the Earth shall be mine at last."
Meanwhile down on Earth….
Mary grinned as she twirled around in the ice. She was only 5 years old but her whole family had figured out she was indeed a special child. Born with the ability to create snow and ice. The problem was trying to hide it from the other villagers.
"Mary mother wants you to come inside and help prepare supper…Mary what are you doing?!"
Blinking, Mary slipped on the ice and landed with a hard thud. She looked up to see her 13 year old sister Casey standing there about her.
Casey shook her head," Mary you know what mother and father have told you about using your powers. What if someone sees you?"
Laughing, Mary stood up and said," No one is going to see me. I try to make sure I stay out of sight. So relax." As she dusted off her dress and slid over to her basket of berries.
Casey shook her head as the girls headed back to their cottage in the mountains. She never understood why Mary was born with the powers and yet none of her brothers and sisters was born with it.
Shrugging at the silent question in her mind, Casey said," So Mary School starts again next week, are you nervous about attending?"
Mary put a hand over her head and said," A little. I have to be very careful. If I don't, mother said they might kill me and hang me in the gallows."
Casey frowned as she tied her bonnet on her head and did the same with her sister. She said," Trust me. They will not do that. They need father. He is the village's only doctor after all."
Mary grinned," I know plus I have two brothers and three sisters to protect me. Come on race you home." As she took off running.
Shaking her head, Casey said," Wait up Mary!" as she ran after her.
Mary ran through the woods giggling. She loved this time in her life. But she knew soon she would have friends, get older, get married, and have children. It was expected of her after all.
Casey frowned as she stopped running and said,' Something is wrong."
Mary stopped in her tracks as well and said," What shall you mean Miss Casey?" as she looked at her older sister.
Casey pointed to their cottage," Just look."
Mary looked and frowned," The fireplace. There is no smoke coming from it. That is strange. Father went to fetch us some wood. We should have a warm fire by now."
Casey nodded as she said," Mary stay behind these bushes. I will be right back." As she grabbed up an ax and walked slowly toward the cottage.
Mary nodded as she hid behind the bush and watched her older sister sneak up upon the house.
Frowning, Casey noticed how quiet it seemed to be. Perhaps a little too quiet. She carefully opened the door and said," Hello? Mother? Father?" as she looked around.
It was too dark for her to see. She reached up and lit a candle and when she did, she gasped. On the floor, 2 inches away from her, her parents were sprawled out on the door. It was apparent they were dead.
Casey's eyes widened as she said," Oh no. John! Micheal! Ashley! Alease! " as she ran up the stars looking for her siblings. She rounded another corner and her eyes widened even more. She seen her twin sisters dead on the floor.
That was it for Casey. She could not go any further. She blinked in horror as she realized. Could her own brothers be in danger too? And worse, what about Mary?!
"Mary!" as she ran down the stars and went through the back way to the back. She frowned as she realized her brothers were dead too. They did not have much of a fight to put up considering they were 1 and 3 years old.
"Mary! Come out! Please!" Casey screamed as she seen Mary being snatched up by what looked like a robot.
"Casey! Help me!" Mary shouted as she fought against the robot.
Casey frowned," Leave her alone!" as she raised her ax ready to strike. She gasped as the robot took his sword and struck her through the middle of her body. Blood began gushing out of her large wound.
Mary's eyes widened in horror as the robot said," You shall be the last one!" as he swung his sword high above her head.
Mary screamed and closed her eyes, praying to God for a quick death. She frowned as she did not feel the sword through her. It was odd.
Opening her ears, she blinked as she seen a brightly shone being standing in front of her and the robot laid dead beside him.
"Thank you…." Mary said as she looked at her sister and her family. She whispered," They are dead…I cannot believe it…."
"Mary…I am Zordon…I am here to save you and take you somewhere that will be safe for you. A dark being is after your powers and I fear that you will be in harm's way if you choose to stay here."
Mary frowned as she said," I don't want to leave here. This is my home." As she said," Whatever it is, I shall fight."
Zordon sighed as he said;" I figured you would that is why I must erase all memories of your life and everyone that has been involved in your life." As he laid a hand on her head and caused her to pass out. He closed his eyes and the light engulfed Mary.
"Also you shall no longer be known as Mary Smith…from this day forward you shall be known as Rayana…..master of ice and snow…"
Mary's eyes stayed closed as Zordon carried her out of the danger zone and left in a flash. The villagers would come to find her family and what remained of them but the fate of little Mary Smith remained a mystery. It would stay a mystery throughout the next 300 years until fate once again crossed Mary….
300 years later…..
The fireworks glistened upon the moon terrain. It was there to announce that there would be a celebration honoring King Mondo's oldest son, Prince Gasket's 350 year birthday.
A certain girl was watching the fireworks from afar. Rayana stood there in amazement as she said," Wow. It's so amazing. I have never seen such colors before."
Rayana was indeed intrigued and why should she be? Her grandfather Master Vile was invited to attend but only on one condition. Her parents, Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa were not allowed to.
Sighing, Rayana knew why they could not attend. King Mondo and Queen Machina absolutely hated her parents with a passion. But, since she was to find a husband, she was required to attend this celebration. That and the fact her parents wanted her to find out all she could so they could overthrow the Machine Empire.
"Just why can't we all get along? I mean we share the moon. Isn't that good enough for everyone?"
Rayana looked up at the sky once more and sighed. She walked down the moon terrain, her dark black hair glistening in the wind as she walked home. She was not supposed to be alone. But, she knew how to sneak of the castle without detecting a hint of problems. She was that good. Her parents had taught her well.
Walking down, Rayana frowned as she seen a figure in the distance. She put her hand on her sword sheath and snapped," Who are you? You are invading the lands of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd."
The figure snorted," This will soon be our lands and you best to stay out of our way if you know what is good for you." As he stepped out of the shadows.
Rayana's frowned deepened;" I should have known you would have something to do with this Prince Gasket."
Gasket said," I have no idea what you are talking about. What is a young, attractive looking of a female doing in these parts?" as he pulled his sword out.
Rayana pulled her own sword out and said," You are trespassing on my parents' lands now be gone this instant!"
Gasket smirked," I don't think so!" as he sent his blast toward Rayana. He grinned," Gotcha. What the?!" as Rayana summer saulted out of his way.
Rayana smirked," It will take more than that to get rid of me!" as she threw her own sword at him.
Blocking the attack, Gasket frowned," You are such a pest! Time to get rid of you this instant! But before I do, I must ask the name of the Lady who dares to try to step out of her place!"
Rayana snorted," It's Rayana."
Gasket looked funny as he said," You are the brat that my mother and father spoke of. Your grandfather, Master Vile I believe it is, told us all about you."
"Really now and what did he say?" Rayana scowled.
Gasket said," Well he said you were very beautiful for one. I can see for myself that he was right."
Rayana felt a blush coming on as she said," and he said that you were a narcissistic person who cared only about himself. That is true indeed."
Gasket snorted as he went to throw another rude remark at her but blinked her as he noticed his father was summoning him. He growled," I have to go. Father is calling for me. But mark my words Lady Rayana, we shall meet once again." As he swung his sword and disappeared into the light.
Rayana covered her eyes as she growled out, "Oh yeah? Well same to you!" as she picked up her sword and placed it back in the sheath.
"Rayana! Where are you?"
She gasped as she heard her mother calling for her. She said," Coming mother." As she ran down the moon terrain.
Little did she know? This was only the beginning.
