Chapter 4: Oh Brother!

"Zane?" Angie muttered, but her brother continued driving his red truck through the neighbourhood. Angie inspected her brother. He had bruises all over his arms, and the red in his eyes matched the colour of his t-shirt.

Zane took his right hand and decided to turn on the radio. A Katy Perry song was almost about to finish as Angie pressed a button to turn it off.

"So are you going to tell me anything?" yelled Angie in the truck as her brother continued driving.

"I'm trying to figure out where to begin," he muttered. Angie has never seen her brother like this. On second thought, she's never seen her brother as a power ranger either.

He parked on the side of the road and took a deep breath, still not facing Angie.

"Mom and dad come from a place called Corona," he started, "It's another world just like our just with some magic,"

"Another world?" repeated Angie in disbelief.

Their mom died in a car crash about 3 years ago, while the year after that their dad went on a business trip and hasn't been back since.

"There were 5 warriors, who had gems that gave them extraordinary powers. Each gem has a dragon spirit, and each spirit controls a different element. The war in Corona was suppose to be over. Some of the warriors and people came to Willowdale to start a new life. That's when we were born."

She was sort of following the story, but it still seemed confusing.

"The demons were locked away. But apparently Malakai, the leader of the demons, was stronger than they thought. The warriors had to return to Corona, but the demons still managed to get here through a crack in the portal,"

Zane showed her his morpher, with a red gem in the middle.

It was the same as her yellow gem. Angie took it off her neck.

"Dad gave this one to me, I control fire and mom gave that one to you, which controls light." he explained.

"So our parents were...?" she couldn't finish the sentence.

"Yeah. The warriors were Power Rangers. Mom didn't die from a car accident. ,"

"What happened to mom?" Angie asked, but she kind of already knew the answer.

"She went back to Corona first, but Malakai defeated her," Zane said sadly, "That's why dad had to go back to Corona,"

"So dad is still ok?" she asked.

"I'm not sure," Zane said, "When you travel to another world, it's hard to make contact. But he did leave us with the gems, just in case something happened here to us,"

Zane started the engine again and started to drive.

"Wait, does this mean I get to be a power ranger?" asked Angie, kind of excited.

"Don't even think about it kid," Zane said, "I'm doing fine on my own."

"Yeah, cause the way you defeated Xeldar back there shows that," she retorted sarcastically.

"This isn't a game," Zane said seriously, "The demons are collecting human energy so they can open a portal between our two worlds,"

"Damm..." she muttered, "But you know I can help. Trust me, just give me two seconds with Xeldar and that blaster, The serious damage I could cause."

"Ok for a 17-year old girl, you play way too much video games," he said giving her a weird look.

"But how about if you do need help," Angie asked. She knew Zane was just as stubborn as her.

"I won't," Zane argued. He ran his fingers through his short brunette hair. He looked like he had a migrane and hadn't slept in days.

"But how about if you do?" she repeated, "Then can I help?"

Zane sighed, knowing he couldn't argue with her, "Fine, but only if I desperately need help."

Angie smiled, because she knew that wouldn't take long.

"So who are the other 3 rangers?" she asked.

"Good question," said Zane, "I know they're here in Willowdale, but I don't know who they are."

"Well that sucks," muttered Angie, as she continued to look out the window.

"Let's not worry about now. You should worry about going to school," he said. Zane put the keys back to start the engine.

"You can't throw this big news at me, then tell me about school," she exclaimed.

Zane smiled at his sister and patted her head, "That's my job, to annoy you."

Zane drove them back to his house. The sun was setting as they made there way in.

"So out of curiosity, where are these 'morphers'," asked Angie with a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Like I would tell you," said Zane. Angie sighed, but she still had a couple of tricks up her sleeve.

So yeah, there's the history...I hope it didn't sound boring.

Next time on Power Rangers: Dragon Spirit

Zane says he can save the world on his own, but Angie is up for a challenge. When the demon attacks start to increase, will Zane finally accept his sister's destiny?
