I Will Never Own Power Rangers
Chapter Four: Knowledge and Storms
Conner was sitting watching the TV when he heard the door, he looked around, Trent was having a rest in his room, he walked quietly over to it and opening it slightly, he saw Maddie, V, Chip and Xander, he opened it wide and smiled as they looked at him,
"Hey Conner, can we talk to you?" Xander asked looking at him,
"Yeah, sure. Come on in" Conner replied, standing aside to let them inside, they walked inside and looked around,
"Where's Trent?" Chip asked,
"Asleep" Conner replied, he gestured for them to sit while he lent against the wall he looked out of the window, he could clearly see a storm was brewing, "So what can I help with?"
"We wanted to talk about some Ranger stuff" V said,
Conner nodded for them to continue and continued looking out of the window, "Anything in particular?"
"Relationships mainly" Xander asked
Conner turned to face them, "Relationships between Rangers?"
They all nodded and Conner looked thoughtful, "They are generally frowned upon, but they are more dangerous, and they put the team in slightly more danger, but as long as there are some definite feelings there, they are allowed"
The four Mystic force Rangers looked at each other and Maddie sighed and asked, "Are you speaking from experience or just from what you have been told?"
Conner laughed softly, "What are you asking?"
"Whether you've ever had relations with a fellow ranger" Chip said,
"Yes he has" Trent said walking out of his room,
"Hey, Nice sleep?" Maddie asked,
"Refreshing enough" Trent replied smiling at Conner, but the as he looked out the window his face relaxed and he turned to face the others in the room,
"Oh, so that's why you didn't dislike us when I told you Chip was my boyfriend" Xander asked, "Cos' you and Trent are together"
Conner sighed and Trent smiled weakly, "Yeah" They said at the same time, they sat and stood in an awkward silence for a while after this and then V looked up, "Is that why you left your homes?"
"One of them" Trent replied giving a weak smile to Conner who replied in turn,
They all seemed to realise that neither of the two older rangers wanted to talk about it any longer so they changed track at top speed, "Nasty weather isn't it?" Chip commented gesturing out of the window,
"Yeah" Conner replied, Trent looked slightly worried,
"We should get going" V said eventually,
"So soon?" Trent asked, with a note of fake concern, only Conner could tell though as he was the only one to know, having known Trent so long.
"Yeah, Udonna wants to talk with us at 6 so we need to be heading there now" Chip replied, standing up then he pulled Xander up, V and Maddie jumped up too and they followed Xander and Chip out of the apartment and Conner waved them off, he shook his head and walked over to Trent,
"Let's hope this storm passes, You're not too fond of them are you" Conner asked Trent, who shook his head, just as they both turned to face each other when they saw the rain begin to fall, Trent backed away into his room as the door went again, Conner rolled his eyes and went to the door, he opened it and he saw Anton Mercer standing there, a box in his arms, as well as a couple of letters,
"Ah, McKnight, I needed to drop these off here for yourself and Trent" Anton spoke in nearly a whisper but Conner caught every word,
"Why don't you come in?" Conner asked politely,
"I Need to be going soon, I do have other business to deal with" Anton replied handing the box over to Conner, who placed it on the floor, he then took the letters and Anton nodded as he left Conner holding the letters and looking at the package, he saw a note scribbled on the top,
Eggs: Tyrano and Drago
He smiled as he realised what was inside, his and Trent's Zords eggs were inside the parcel, he opened it to find the two eggs waiting, he then turned his attention to the letters in his hand, and he saw that one labelled Conner and the other was labelled Trent. He recognised the hand writing and placed them on the side board, and saw a flash of Bright Blue, followed by a loud crack and a tiny whimper from Trent's room, Conner immediately headed to Trent's room, as he entered, another Crash of Thunder was heard, he saw Trent curled up in a corner of the room his head in his arms, and legs tucked up to his chest, Conner walked immediately over to him and placed an arm around him and Trent looked up slightly, then at another flash and Crash he retreated, back to the corner.
Conner sighed, he placed one hand behind Trent on his back and one on his arm, and "Trent?" he asked softly,
Trent looked up slightly in response, "I want to ask you what you feel at my touch" Conner said sounding hopeful that this would work
"Warm, soft, safe" Trent replied,
Conner smiled slightly, "And when I rap my arms around you, do you still feel safe?"
Trent nodded, and Conner wrapped his arms around Trent who looked up slightly, "Nothing will ever hurt you while you're in my arms" Conner whispered and Trent looked up fully, to see Conner's arms around him and although the storm was still blazing he no longer felt scared for he knew Conner was there for him, after about an Hour the storm died down, and Trent felt safe enough to stand up, he walked into the Main living area he saw the box and laughed, "Zords!" he called to Conner, who had just followed, smiling.
Trent pulled the white dino-Zord egg out of the box, he smiled as he held it, then he frowned looking into the bottom of the box, he handed both Eggs to Conner as he pulled a shield out of the box and gasped,
"The Shield of Triumph!" Conner laughed, Trent looked out of the window and gasped, "Conner!" he called, Conner placed the eggs in the box and rushed over, Trent's white dino quad and Conner red dino bike were sitting outside, Conner punched the air laughing, "Least we can get around easier now!" Trent smiled as Conner looked out the window, and his face fell,
"We might need our zords, Looks like dog-breath has some friends" Conner called, they saw the eggs wobbling and they rushed them outside they saw the Mystic Rangers battling with the giant creature, the eggs cracked open and the two dino zords appeared, Conner's morpher flashed as the egg grew and the pigment of the dino's flashed, the Tyrano and Drago were waiting for their masters,
"Ready?" Conner asked,
"Ready" Trent confirmed,
"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" Conner called ,
"White Thunder, Power Up!" Trent Called,
They turned into their ranger uniforms and Jumped onto their Zords, they saw the Monster look over in horror at the two approaching Dino-zords,
"Hey Trent, should w try and combine them?" Conner called to Trent,
"Sounds fun" Trent called back,
They both thought the same thing I Hope this works
They saw Conner's Zord take on its normal megazord form, and Trent's split into multiple parts, its wings formed into a long blade while its body joined onto Conner's Zord, its head fell on top of The megazord and slipped off onto its back connecting, just leaving a head on the top, They looked at each other and sighed,
"Flight-force Megazord" They called as they looked over at the two other battlers, who moved apart as they charged forward,
"Tyrano Tail!" They called and they charged forward slamming the tail into the monster, which stepped back,
"Mystic Seal!" They heard the Mystic Rangers call, and it slammed into the monster which exploded and the two Megazord's stood side by side, their rangers cheering.
They quickly headed back to either the old tree or their apartment, they gave each other a high-five but didn't bother to meet up, Conner walked into the Room followed by Trent, who immediately kissed Conner full on,
"Thanks, for earlier" Trent smiled to Conner as they parted, Conner just smiled as Trent pulled him closer and placed his head on Conner's shoulder, and his arms around his back.
6 Months Later and miles away (I Know it's a long jump but hang tight
A Duck and dodge allowed him to pass through the attacks, he punched one of the figures in the chest, and he collapsed back, then using a high kick he knocked the other to the floor, they were both out cold, he stood smiling walking towards where his masters were waiting, he kneeled before them until he heard someone calling him
"McKnight!" A man called from behind them and he turned to face the man, "You have mail!"
He jumped up, only one person ever wrote to him, his brother, but when he was handed the letter he saw his Father's handwriting, he opened it carefully, dreading what he would see and read,
Eric,
Since neither you nor your brother lives with us anymore, we're moving, to Australia. So this is good bye, Have a nice life,
Would say I love you and your brother, but I wouldn't want to lie, you two have been a burden on us for too long, now we are taking the rest of our lives to enjoy ourselves.
Never contact us again!
Mr. and Ms McKnight
It took a moment for the message to sink in, he collapsed to the floor and he saw his masters rushing over he felt one hand pull the letter from him and they read it out loud,
"McKnight, as in Conner McKnight?" Dustin asked,
"Yeah, you know my twin brother?" Eric asked standing up,
"Yeah, we worked alongside him once" Tori replied,
"Your parents sound awful" Dustin commented re-reading the letter,
"They are" Eric replied, then at a look from the three of his masters he spoke on, "Conner and Me, we were always close friends, we spent nearly all of our time together, until they sent me here" he gestured around, "Then Conner was encouraged to spend most of his time doing Soccer, he gained some friends, then started hanging with a weird crowd"
The three masters looked at each other, and they silently agreed to tell Eric his brother was a ranger, "Strange how?"
"They had nothing in common" Eric replied looking at the floor, "There was, a Computer whiz, a singer, an Artist and him a jock, they also hung with one of their teachers nearly all of their free time"
"They did have one thing in common, the same as us" Shane spoke softly,
"What was that Master?" Eric asked,
"He's a Power…." Dustin began before they saw someone rushing forward, "Cam!" they called,
"Hey guys" Cam answered the calls from them, "Can we talk in private?"
"Eric, wait here if you would, we'll be back in a minute" Tori asked, Eric nodded and the four of them rushed off towards their living quarters,
"What's up?" Tori asked, "We need to get back to our student"
"Two of the Dino Rangers have gone rouge" Cam stated plainly,
"They want us to take them down?" Shane asked, Cam shook his head, "Then why are you telling us?"
"One of their brothers is a student of yours" Cam stated again, all heads turned to see Eric, still crying over his parents letter,
"So" Tori Began, "Their attacking innocence?"
"No" Cam replied,
"Breaking the law?" Shane asked,
"No" Cam Replied, "They've ran off, No one knows where"
"What do we tell him?" Tori asked, "He's in enough pain already"
"We tell him the truth and then help him find his brother" Said a male voice,
"Then you guys bring him back here and train" A second voice continued,
"Hunter, Blake!" The four of them called as they saw them,
They nodded, but stopped when the saw Cam's father, Sensei Watanabe Walking in holding a box, "I took the liberty of getting these for you" he opened the box, Seven ninja amulets sat there, full powered up and ready to use, the six of them took theirs and they started at him,
"Who's that one for?" Hunter asked, gesturing to the one symbol left,
"Eric McKnight" Sensei Watanabe answered, "He needs to help his brother dearly"
"Eric Come" Tori called, and Erik wandered towards them he kneeled and held his head close to the ground,
"Rise Eric McKnight, the time has come" Sensei Watanabe said holding his hand widely apart, Eric stood, and looked at the Six Rangers and the Sensei,
"Your Brother needs your help" Shane said, "It's time we tell you what you should have known many moons ago"
"What has happened to Conner?" Eric asked, looking up, panic spreading across his face,
"You're Brother" Tori began, "Is a Power Ranger"
Eric looked at the Rangers and a grin broke his face, "My Brother is a Power Ranger? You're joking right?"
"No" A female voice spoke behind them,
They turned to face who it was,
"It's Good to see you again Eric" Haley smiled to him, She was carrying a black briefcase and looked at the Ninja Rangers
"Haley?" Eric asked, "Let me guess, you're a ranger too?"
"No, but I worked him during most of his time as a ranger" Haley spoke, "Tommy would lose it, if he knew I was here",
"Any proof?" Eric asked,
Haley knelt down and opened the briefcase he pulled a Disk out of her pocket and turned to face them all, "You might want to see this Eric", he rushed over and looked at the screen, it was blank, then Haley hit a button and A picture of five figures appeared, he recognised Conner Immediately, he saw him raise one arm and a red morpher appeared on his arm as did other morpher's on the four others, He heard Conner call "Ready?" then they morphed into the Dino Thunder Rangers, Haley stopped the Video and looked at Eric, whose face was pale.
"My Brother needs me?" Eric asked, "What can I do?"
"Nothing without this" Sensei Watanabe said raising the morphing coin, and walking forward, "Rage as great as the Flame, you are the Orange wind ranger" he took it and nodded to the Sensei and walked alongside the other Rangers,
"Where are we heading?" Eric asked,
"To meet with some old friends" Haley said smiling
(Back With Conner and Trent)
The months had passed quietly, they had not had to get involved with any ranger business, but they had been keeping in touch with The Rangers, giving them advice, Sparing with them or just simply chatting, but what they had noticed, they didn't have to eat or Drink anything, but they did, just because they could.
Thought the months had been rough and Conner and Trent dearly wished to return, they knew something big was coming, even Leanbow, whom they'd trained with several times admitted something dark was coming, they looked out and sighed, If their fellow dino-rangers were going to do anything then they would've done something sooner. They walked along the room waiting, then they heard a bleep, and Dived for their morpher, they heard the same voice say the same thing,
"The Gates of Darkness are open, we need you now!"
I Know that was a long jump, but nothing really interest would've happened, it would've been 3 or 4 Chapters of filler, which is boring, plus we get to meet the illusive Eric McKnight, Conner Beloved brother,
Now, you can choose, whether you want the story to have a happy ending (Wedding and a Funeral), or a sad one (Wedding and a bad ending Funeral) (Still around 6-7 Chapters left Its just I like to know where to head with the story.
P.S. We also learn that Conner grew up in a abusive home, Next Time its Eric (As Orange Ninja Ranger) Vs. Mum and Dad
P.P.S: Dr Oliver, Kira and Ethan Return next Chapter
P.P.P.S: This Fan fiction will contain other groups of Rangers including: Operation Overdrive, Jungle fury and RPM (Maybe SPD As well)
