The Power Chamber:
"Ok rookie you ready?" Tracie asked over the com link.
"As I'll ever be are you sure its ready?," Rae asked from the cockpit of her zord.
"Relax Rae auntie Tracie has been building zords since before we were born you'll be fine," EJ said, "and beside its just a test to see how it handles," she explained.
"Yeah chill you're a ranger now," Lexi said
Rae smiled hearing this. A few short weeks ago she was just a ranger fangirl who dreamed of being a ranger. Now here she was the purple and white ranger ready to test out her zord. "Alright I'm ready"
"Alright Anzu zord launch on my mark," Tracie said, "5,4,3,2,Mark!"
"WOOOOOOHOOO," Rae cheered as the massive lion headed bird zord took off at near mache 5 across the desert sky. "Whoa she handles like I've been flying her my whole life!" she said excitedly.
"That's the psychic link the Anzu knows its yours how do you feel?," David asked.
"I FEEL FUCKING GREAT!," Rae said as she did a barrel role making the rangers watching in the command center laugh.
"Ok hot shot lets try a weapons test," EJ said. "Sending some target drones now at your six and four now."
"I see them firing plasma cannon," Rae said before firing a blast of purple colored plasma fire from the zord's lion mouth. Rendering the drones cinders.
"Ok Rae that was nice but you have to watch your back too," Lexi said before having a drone fire on Rae and hit her.
"WHOA! Ok Lex I see your point now let me show you something," Rae said before taking her zord into a nose dive, "Shifting into vehicle mode!" she said causing her zord to transform into its vehicle mode of a futuristic black bird jet. "PURPLE NIGHTINGALE ON LINE!" she said yanking the zord out of the dive and firing on the drone
"Purple Nightingale?," Myers said as he scoffed at the nickname for the zord's Vehicle mode as it took out two more drone ships.
"Working nickname Myers," Rae said.
"Alright kid lets see how she does in warrior mode," Tracie said
"On it shifting to warrior mode," Rae said taking the zord into a backflip and shifting it into a purple and white winged warrior zord holding a large purple laser staff resembling a duel lightsaber. " Ok lets see how she does" Rae said "MEGA PURPLE NOVA!," she said waving her staff sending a wave of purple energy destroying the remaining drones. "Whoa!" she said amazed by her own skill
"Alright bring her back in for diagnostics Rae," Tracie said impressed by the rookie ranger's skill.
A few minutes later Rae amongst her teammates watched back the test footage on the giant screen. " You're good Rae really good but you could use improvement," David said.
"I'd say she's pretty damned impressive," said the older woman in a leather jacket, pink blouse jeans and boots. "Don't you think hun,' she asksed the other older woman with graying brunette locks. Who was wearing a white crew neck top and faded jeans.
"Why yes Kimmy dear she was," Talia said.
"Grandma!" came the collective screams of EJ, Sammy, Tamra, Merci, Talia, Lexi and the telepathic scream of Rourke as they ran over to the two older women and hugged the one in pink first then the other in white.
"Mind introducing us kids?," the elder Talia asked.
" Oh right?," EJ said. "Rae Tamsyn I'd like you to meet our grandmas Talia Hawk, and the original pink ranger Kimberly Hart," she said introducing her grandmothers.
Rae looked at the older woman in pink in awe. Here she was an original ranger one of Zordon's original six right in front of her. Nervously she walked over to the older woman and extended a shaky hand and said. "It's an honor to meet you ma'am."
"First off call me Kim not ma'am," Kimberly said shaking the girl's hand. "Second I've seen you're skills and I'm impressed. I'm even more impressed at this morpher of yours it actually looks like mine," she said.
"Really?" Rae said blushing a bit.
"Yeah in fact I could show you some moves if you want kind of improve your technique some," Kimberly said.
"Sure I would…if it's not to much trouble," Rae said
Mel's Lair:
"GODDAMNIT!," Mel cursed hurling fireballs at the walls of her lair. "HOW COULD YOU TWO LET THAT MOUSEY HAIRED BLONDE HICK FAN GIRL DECIVE US!,"
"It's not our falt your plan to turn the bitch failed," Kit said annoyed at her.
"Yes we were all caught off guard by your single minded plan to turn an outsider to our side in your quest to have your own ranger," Maddrox said pointing his sword at Mel.
"That's … correct," Mel said. " Why turn to an outsider when I have the perfect candidate to make my own and my own zord or zords," she said coming to the realization as she looked at her two generals. "Kit ready my ship we're taking a trip to the moon,"
"Why the moon?," Kit asked curiously.
"You'll see in the mean time Maddroks reay a creature to handle the ranger," Mel said.
"I have just the creature, NEGANITE!," Maddroks said gesturing and summoning a teal skinned female creature dressed in a white outfit that looked to be something one of the female ninjas in Mortal Kombat would wear with a vail cover her head except her read demonic eyes. Holding a large duel bladed staff in her left hand.
"I'm here to serve you my lady," Neganite said bowing before Mel.
"Neganite is excellent ninja and her limbs can extend to attack her opponents from all angles as well as being able to launch poison quills from them,"Maddroks said running down the creature's power's "She should be a perfect weapon."
"Excelent Neganite wait for the time to strike and destroy the rangers," Mel said. "Kitt to the moon"
The Shop:
"David, Jewels you here!," Max said as she and Creed walked into the shop finding it seemingly empty.
"Yo dreadhead you around?," Creed said.
"He and Tracie are out getting lunch with the kids he texted me to open up," Jett said coming out of the store room clad in a tank top and jean shorts.
Max and Creed looked at her both seeing a familiarity in her that made both women warm yet uneasy. "Thanks and you are?" Creed asked becoming slightly lost in the young woman's eyes.
"Jett, Jett Ford," Jett said extending her hand to the older blonde woman.
"Creed Jericho," Creed said shaking the girl's hand.
"Oh you're the girl who took my old apartment, the girls said they met you I'm Max ,Tamara and Merci's mom," Max said taking the girl's hand.
"Oh nice to," Jett started to say but suddenly her mind was flooded with images making her head throb images of the two women in front of her.
"Uhh are you ok you're nose is bleeding?" Max said seeing the blood trickle from both nostrils .
"SHIT! not again," Jett said covering her nose.
"Hey let me help," Creed said grabbing a bandanna from her pocket to offer the young woman
"No I'm fine," Jett said shrugging off the help.
"Are you sure I mean it looks bad," Max said.
"MWEN DI OU MWEN SE AMANN MODI LI," Jett yelled in an aggressive Cajun Creole accent.
"Ou se Cajun ti fi?," Max asked shocked that the girl spoke the same language she often did.
"Wi Se," Jett said
"Sister?" Max said perplexed, "why did you call me sister?"
"I don't know!...I have to get cleaned up," Jett said running to the back.
"Well that was strange," Max said.
"No shit," Creed said just as the door swung open.
"Mom aunt Max what are you doing here," Myers asked as he and the others walked into the shop.
"Waiting on dread head and Jewels," Creed said seeing Julie David and Tracie trailing behind the teens.
"Yeah brother in-law did you forget what today is?" Max asked.
"For a second there Max I did," David said dropping his head his daughter doing the same in noticeable sadness.
"Me too," Julie said.
"Uhh what's going on," Rae asked.
"Family thing," EJ said. "Anyway aunt allow me introduce our new ranger Rae,"
" Nice to meet you," Max said extending a hand to the blonde girl.
"Nice to meet you too. You're the twins mom right," Rae said shaking her hand.
"One of them yes," Max said. " So Davie boy ready to go?," she asked.
"Yeah in a sec, Jett!," David called to the back.
"Yeah boss," Jett said walking out of the back wiping her nose.
"Hey are you ok?," David asked concerned about his young employee. Perhaps a bit more than he should be.
"Yeah just a nose bleed," Jett said. Before looking up and catching eyes with Rae and feeling something stir in her. "Uhh whose this?"
"Rae, Rae Tamsyn," Rae said walking up to Jett. With a flirtatious look in her eyes "and you are," she said taking Jett's hand in her own
"Jett Ford," Jett said blushing a bit.
"Well its a pleasure to meet a beautiful creature such as yourself ," Rae said placing a kiss on Jett's hand playing up her North Carolina accent.
"Nice to meet you too," Jett said still somewhat blushing but returning the flirty look to the blonde girl, "Now tell does this whole southern charm thing work on all the girl?"
"Well sometimes mostly it's theses baby blues," Rae said throwing in a cocky yet flirty wink. "Between them and my smile I don't have to try too hard"
"Well Ms. Rae you'll have to come a bit harder slick," Jett said with a sly smile. "Anyway you wanted to see me boss?"
"Uhh yeah. Me Creed and Jewels have to go do something think you can hold it together for awhile?" David asked.
"Sure but I could use a bit of help," Jett said
"We'll help right EJ ?" Rae said looking at the red ranger with eyes that said back my play.
"Sure why not," EJ said.
"Good we'll be back soon enough," David said,
"Uhh Myers you want to come along son," Creed asked her son.
"No mom I'm good," Myers said.
"Ok then," Creed said, feeling a bit disappointed. "Lets go guys."
Kimberly & Talia's Home:
Kimberly stood by the mantel holding her power bow. Her mind a drift on waves of memories past. Victories, losses, friends both living and dead. Her first wife her current wife and their children and she dropped a few tears. "Here's your coffee babe," Talia said snapping the former pink ranger out of her thoughts.
"Thank you darling," Kim said placing the bow back on the mantel. Before kissing her wife's cheek and taking the mug. "Umm you always get it right," she said taking a sip of the hot sweet liquid as she sat on the sofa beside her wife.
"I should been doing it long enough," Talia said putting her arm around Kimberly. "So what's on your mind hun?," she asked.
"Just seeing Rae and the kids today got me thinking about old times," Kimberly said.
"You're not thinking of putting on the pink suit again are?," Talia asked a bit concerned her wife may want to resume her old mantel.
"Ohh no I'm too busy with this SPD thing, for that," Kimberly said relaxing in her wife's embrace. "But I still can't shake the thought we're responsible for our grandchildren's pain especially Lexie,"
"Kitt wasn't our fault Kim," Talia said with a sigh.
"How is she not Tal," Kimberly said. "We raised her and she was our responsibility we raised her! And she's the reason our daughter in-law is dead and our granddaughter has no mother."
"We did all we could," Talia said in attempt to ease her wife's pain.
Angel Grove Cemetery:
"Happy anniversary Ly," David said as he placed the flowers on his wife's grave.
" You to doll face," Creed said doing the same to the grave right beside it. Despite they're actual wedding dates being a month or so apart, much like they had done with their birthdays when they were younger David and Lyra had bundled their anniversaries together. As a sign of friendship and to tribute the fact that Creed and Selena were the only ones to be present at David and Lyra's courthouse wedding. "You know Jewels Max you don't have to be here.
"They were our family too brother in-law," Max said placing flowers on her sister's grave doing the same to Selena's
"Yeah we Paige girl's stick together," Julie said placing flowers on both graves and then placing kiss on Selena's head stone. Whom she regarded as a sister. "Max you wanna do the honors," she asked.
"Sure," Max said taking out a small purple velvet sack from her shoulder bag. "Happy anniversary girls this by you a good time in the great skyes above," she said sprinkling a few coins each grave.
David wiped a tear from his eyes and looked at the plot of land and the headstones that numbered it stopping on the headstones for Tracie's birth parents, then those belonging to EJ, Tyson, and those lost during Armageddon war. "We've left a lot of people here haven't we," he said.
"Yeah yeah we have," Creed said.
The Shop:
"So I'm thinking we go get some Thai food then maybe we can go to a movie," Rae said as she stacked the boxes of guitar picks in the store room. "Do you like Thai food? You seem like a Thai food or sushi person or maybe Italian," she continued.
"What the hell are you talking about?," Jett asked
"Our date tonight. I mean we both have to go home shower and change but I figure we should have a plan it being our first date and all" Rae said.
"First off what makes you think I'd go on a date with you first or other wise," Jett said.
"Well I….," Rae started getting cut off an alarm sounding "Uh hold that thought,' she said running to the main part of the shop. "What do we got?"
"An attack in the warehouse district," EJ said looking at the pop up halogram map on her wrist.
"Well let's go to it MAXIMUM EFFORT!," Rae said before they teleported away.
The Ware House District;
"Hello ranger's we were beginning to think you weren't going to show up," Maddrox said as he and Negamite watched the eight unmorphed materialize before them.
"Maddrox ? I guess Kitt and Mel are sending the B-team out hunh cuz," EJ said with a cocky tone.
"Yeah looks like," Lexie said with a smirk as she went into a fighting stance.
"I'll show you B- Team! Negamite ATTACK!," Maddrox yelled.
"Yes master, AIIIYYYYYEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!," Negamite said launching her extendable arms and knocking the team down.
"Whoa!," Talia said, "Maybe we spoke to soon."
"Yeah maybe," Sammie said.
"Well lets kick some ass," Myrers said picking himself up.
The Moon/ Castle Pandemonium:
"What are we doing here again," Kitt asked as they continued looking through the dank derelict castle. "I mean this place is a tomb."
"This," Mel said finding an old coffin like chest that had dozens of years of age and rot on it.
"We came all this way for an old trunk?" Kitt asked perplexed.
" Its what's in the chest Kitt that's what's we're here for," Mel said as she started to open the chest. "In the old days when Rita Repulsa had control of the green ranger used to things in her power to control him. One was a spell to turn him evil. The other was a weapon to give him an edge over Jason the red ranger. That weapon was this the sword of Darkness." Mel said reveling the sword. "and this my friend is your key to becoming a ranger my ranger,"
