Chapter 4
After finishing their debriefing in the Command Center, Miley, Lilly, and Oliver when over to the Stewart house and found Miley's father, Robbie Ray, cooking up a storm.
"Hey Kids," said Robbie Ray, as he walked over and gave his youngest child a hug, "I so happy to see that you three are OK."
"Of course, we're OK," said Miley, sounding kind of nervous.
"Why wouldn't we be OK?" said Oliver.
"Yeah," said Lilly, "It's not like we were downtown with all those monsters and Power Rangers…"
"Lilly!" said Miley.
"Well, we weren't!" said Lilly.
"Anyway," said Robbie Ray, "Dinner'll be ready soon…"
"OK," said Miley, "We'll be up in my room."
"OK," said Robbie Ray, as the three teens walked up the stairs.
Once they got in her room, Miley closed the door and said, "Good job, Lilly… You all most blew our Ranger secret." Miley then walked out on to her balcony.
"Sorry," said Lilly, as she and Oliver followed her, "You know I'm bad under pressure."
"Speaking of secrets," said Oliver, "How are you going to balance being a Power Ranger and Hannah Montana?"
"Oh man," said Miley, "I never though of it… It's hard enough trying to live 2 lives… now I have to live 3..."
"Maybe we should tell your dad about you being a Power Ranger," said Oliver.
"Are you crazy? If my dad finds out I'm a Power Ranger. He'll hit the roof…"
"Well, then we'll have to tell, Kimberly, Kat and Jason about you being Hannah Montana…"
"Yeah… I wonder how they'll take it…"
The next day in the Command Center…
"YOU'RE WHO?" said the three mentors in unison.
"I'm Hannah Montana," said Miley.
Kimberly looked like she was going to say something but ended up fainting.
"Not again," said Jason, as he and Kat got down on his knees.
"Does she do this a lot?" asked Oliver.
Jason and Kat look at each other, then Kat said, "She doesn't take hearing really big news very well…"
"Come on, Kim… Wake up…" said Jason.
Kim's eyes open and she said, "Sorry…" then Jason helped her to a sitting position.
"That's OK," said Miley, "When I told Oliver… he fainted too…"
"Sure," said Oliver, "Just keep telling the people that you tell you're Hannah Montana, that I fainted…"
The others just chucked a bit, and then Jason said, "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"I don't know… I guess it just slipped my mind, somehow," said Miley.
"Do you have anything that could take you out of town in the near future?" asked Kat.
"No… Daddy's planning a big tour for me but that's not until next summer… Until, then just some concerts around LA, and some other personal appearances."
"That's good," said Kim, "I guess as far as training goes we'll just have to work around your Hannah schedule, as best as we can."
Meanwhile, Kale watched from her ship, "So… The Red Ranger is leading a triple life… I think I know how to capitalize on this…"
Over the next few days, every time Miley had to do something as Hannah, Kale launched an attack. Lilly and Oliver tried to handle it on their own, but they always need Miley to help, and so Miley had to come up with some excuse to leave early from whatever she was doing.
It was a week after the Rangers told their mentors about Miley's double life, and Jason, Lilly, and Oliver were working out on a secluded part of the beach. Hannah had rehearsal for one of her upcoming concerts, so Miley couldn't be there. Jason watched from a rock as he watched Lilly and Oliver spar. At one point, Oliver knocked Lilly to the ground, and he stood over her and said, "Who's the donut now?"
Lilly just wrapped her legs around his, causing him to fall flat on his face, Lilly rolled out of his way, jumped to her feet, did a couple of back flips until she was just out of his reach and said, "Still you…"
"Very nice counter, Lilly," said Jason.
"Thank you," said the Yellow Ranger.
"And Oliver, if you're going to taunt a fallen opponent make sure that you're out of reach so they can't send you to the sand."
"I'll remember that," said Oliver, as he spit some sand out of his mouth. Then he stood up, "Why do we even have to train? Our Ranger Powers give us all the abilities we need to fight."
"That's true," said Jason, "But, you don't have the skills to use your abilities to their full potential and you need to be ready for anything. Because an attack can happen at any time…" Just then a Dragotron knocked him in the back and he fell to the sand.
Oliver and Lilly looked and saw they were surrounded by Dragotrons and Gwen, Kale's personal assistant. She was wearing a black spandex outfit with black boots. "Oh, I couldn't agree more," said the blond woman.
"Oh boy," said Lilly.
"Maybe we should call Miley," said Oliver.
"No… Let's wait we might be able to hold them off," said Jason, "Go ahead and morph."
"OK," said Lilly, "It's Morphin' Time!""By the Power of the Heartstone."
"By the Power of the Moonstone."
Once the Rangers morphed, Gwen said, "Attack!" And the mob of Dragotrons moved toward the three. They tried there best but it was just too much for the three of them.
Kat and Kim watched from the Command Center and heard Jason say, "We need Miley…"
Kim bit her lip as Kat called Miley's communicator. Meanwhile, Miley was disguised as Hannah, reading a magazine in her dressing room, when her communicator started to beep. She quickly picked it up and opened it, "Hello?"
"Miley, it's Kat… Kale launched an ambush on Jason, Lilly and Oliver at the beach… They need your help…"
Miley groaned, "Not again…" She quickly left a note for her dad, morphed and teleported out of the building.
A short time later, Robbie Ray walked in to the room, "Hannah, we're ready to continue…" He was surprised to find an empty room, he saw the note and read it…
Daddy,
Have to take care of something with Lola and Mike.
Will be back ASAP.
Hannah
"Sweet Niblets," he said.
About fifteen minutes later, Miley returned to the dome where she does her concerts, after helping Lilly and Oliver defeat Gwen's army of Dragotrons, to find no one else around. She walked into her dressing room and saw her dad, "Hey Daddy… Where is everyone? I thought we were rehearsing until 7."
"I sent them home," said Robbie Ray, "I didn't know when you'd be back and I figured why should I just have everyone just standing around when I didn't know when you'd be back."
"About that, I'm really sorry, but it was this last minute thing…"
"I don't know what's going on," interrupted Robbie Ray, "but for the past week you've been sneaking off doing something. Obviously, whatever it is more important than Hannah Montana."
"It's not, really I'm sorry and it won't happen again."
"I'd like to believe that, Bud. But, you've told me that every time you got back from whatever it is you've been doing. So you need to decide what's more important, your career or whatever it is you've been doing," then Robbie Ray walked out.
Miley looked down at the floor and then headed outside as she was walking to her car a little red haired 10 year old girl and her mom came up to her, "Hannah!" said the girl.
Miley smiled and said, "Hi there…"
"Can I have your autograph?" asked the girl as she handed Miley an autograph book and a pen.
"Sure," said Miley, as she took the pen and the book, "What's your name? "
"Annabelle."
"So, Annabelle, are you coming to the concert Saturday night?"
"You bet! I've got front row tickets! My Mom got them for me for my birthday!"
Miley smiled hand the book and the pen back to Annabelle, "There you go…"
"Oh, thank you, so much!"
Then, Annabelle's mother said, "Would you mind having your picture taken with her?"
"No, of course not," said Miley.
She crouched down next to Annabelle, and Annabelle's mother said, "Say 'Rockstar!' "
"Rockstar!" said Miley and Annabelle.
Annabelle's mom took the picture, and said, "Thank you… You're such a good role model to all the kids out there…"
"Thanks," said Miley, "I try my best…"
"Come on, Anna… Let's go…"
"OK… Bye Hannah!"
"Bye Annabelle! I'll see you Saturday!"
Anna smiled as she and her mom walked away.
Later that afternoon, Oliver and Lilly were at Rico's when Miley joined them, "Hey, how did the rest of rehearsals go?" asked Oliver.
"Daddy canceled it," said Miley, as she plopped down in a chair, "You can't really blame him. It's not like I can go up to him and say, 'Hey Daddy, I have to ditch rehearsals so I can go help my friends fight some Dragon men.'"
"Yeah," said Lilly, "I'm sure he's heard that one before…"
"I'm serious guys. This whole saving the world thing is really starting to bum me out… I think I need to talk to Kimberly."
A few minutes later, the three Rangers walked into the Command Center. And saw the three mentors working on something.
"Hey guys," said Lilly, "What's up?"
"Not much," said Kat, "Just working on a special project…"
"Oh, Like what?" asked Oliver.
"You'll see when it's ready," said Jason, "So what can we do for you?"
"Kim," said Miley, "We need to talk…"
"Sure, Miley," said Kim, she walked over and led the Rangers off to the other side of the room, "What's up?"
Miley sighed and said, "You're going to have to find another Red Ranger."
"What?" asked Oliver.
"You're kidding," said Lilly.
"Hold up, you two," said Kim, "What's up, Miley?"
"For the past week, every time I've had something to do as Hannah, Kale has done something," said Miley, "And I've had to make up some excuse to my dad. I really hate lying to him but I don't have a choice. But, if this keeps up, I might not have any choice than to quit, because I love being Hannah Montana, hearing the cheers and the fans. And I don't want to have to give it up because I have to jump at a moments notice to fight some crazy monster."
"I understand," said Kim, "And your right."
"You agree with her?" asked Oliver.
"I've been in your place, Miley," continued Kimberly, "I know what it's like to have thousands of people cheering for you. I gave up my powers to live my dream. No Ranger in history has had to deal with what you're dealing with right now. So, I want you to give this some very serious thought before you come to us with your final decision."
"OK," said Miley, "Come on guys…" Kimberly watched as her three Rangers walked upstairs.
The next day, Miley was sitting on the beach when Lilly and Oliver came up to her, "Hey…" said Lilly.
"Hey…" said Miley.
"So, have you given it some thought?" asked Oliver.
"I have… I'm going to turn in my morpher… I have to guys… I hope you understand," said Miley.
"We do," said Lilly.
"She does more than me," said Oliver, "But if it's what you want…"
Meanwhile, Kim was watching Malibu from the Command Center, and saw a monster and a bunch of Dragotrons, attacking people in the park. Kim called the Rangers on the communicators and said, "Guys, a monster is attacking the park…"
Oliver and Lilly looked at Miley, "OK," said Miley, "One last time…" the three of them looked around to see if anyone was around, then Miley said, "It's Morphin' Time!"
"By the Power of the Heartstone."
"By the Power of the Moonstone."
"By the Power of the Sunstone."
Once the Rangers were morphed she teleported them to the park, the Rangers started fighting the monster. They were having a tough go of it, so the monster decide make it interesting and took off running into the city. But, the monster was very fast and Oliver said, "Great how are we going to catch him?"
"With these," said Kat, over the communicators. The Rangers heard motorcycles in the distance and turned around and saw three bikes heading toward them, "These are your Jewel Powercycles.""Awesome!" said Lilly, as they climbed on the bikes.
Just as they were going to take after the monster the Rangers saw a girl crouched next to a garbage can to hide from the Dragotrons. Miley knew who it was, it was Annabelle! A Dragotron saw Annabelle and approached her, looking at her menacingly, "No!" said Miley, "I'll help the girl, you go after the monster.""Right," said Lilly, as she and Oliver took off.
Miley ran up to the Dragotron and kicked him 30 feet away, then she crouched down next to the girl and said, "Are you OK?"
"Yes," said Annabelle, "Thank you…"
Then Annabelle's mother came up to them, and said, "Oh Anna! I was so worried!"
"She's safe now," said Miley, as she took off after Lilly and Oliver on her Powercycle.
After a short chase, Lilly and Oliver caught up to the monster and Lilly used her bow and arrow, to stop the monster in its tracks long enough for Miley to catch up and form the Jewel Blaster, blowing the monster to pieces. The Rangers cheered their victory.
"Time for a little Jewel Blast of my own" said Empress Kale, watched her latest monster be destroyed. "By the Power of the Crown Jewels, Bring my monster back to life and make him grow!" Then the remaining half of the Red Crown Jewel rose out of the Jewel Box and flew toward Earth and landed among the pieces of monster. Soon the monster was reformed and 30 stories tall.
Then the Rangers together said, "We need Jewel Zord Power Now!"
The Zords appeared from their hiding places and headed toward the Rangers. The Rangers jumped into their Zords and formed the Jewel Power Megazord. The monster got off a couple of good shots on the Megazord but with one quick slash from the Jewel Power Sword the monster was gone.
The Rangers jump from the Megazord and landed back in the park, where Annabelle and her mother were. "Hey!" said Miley as she waved to them.
Anna ran toward them and Miley met her halfway between her teammates and Annabelle's mom. She crouched down next to Anna and Anna said, "Thank you, Red Ranger."
Then Anna hugged Miley, and Miley said, "Anytime… Anytime…" then Miley started to think about her decision again.
Later at the Command Center, after their debriefing, Kim looked at Miley and asked, "Miley? Have you made your decision?"
"I have," said Miley, "I'm staying…"
"What?" said Lilly and Oliver.
"What made you change your mind?" asked Lilly.
"Annabelle, that girl I rescued today," said Miley, "I met her as Hannah yesterday. Anyway she made me realize there is nothing more important than what we are doing."
"I'm glad to hear you staying," said Kim.
"Yeah… But, if I stay I have two conditions…"
"What are they?"
A little while later, Miley came home and found her dad on the back porch working on a song. "Hey, Dad…" she said.
"Hey, Miles…"
"I've been thinking about what we talked about yesterday and I've come to a decision. But before I give you my decision, I want to tell you why I've been sneaking away all week."
"OK," he said.
Miley took a deep breath, "I'm a Power Ranger."
"What?"
Miley then told him how she, Lilly, and Oliver became Power Rangers and then said, "And so I told Kimberly that I would stay on two conditions, one that I be able to tell you that I was a Ranger.""What was the other?"
"That I could continue to be Hannah Montana."
"And I assume she agreed…""Yeah… I don't want to give her up, Daddy…"
"I know… And I was wrong for forcing you make a choice… I was just mad because I though you were just trying to get out of your responsibilities as Hannah… But now, I see that you've got bigger responsibilities now… Tell you what… I'll see what I can do to lighten Hannah's work load for now… She's been working very hard lately… I think she deserves it…"
"Thanks, Daddy…" she said as she hugged him.
"You're welcome, Bud," he said as he hugged him back, "You promise me, you'll be careful out there."
"I will, Daddy… I will…"
Back on the Imperial Starship, Kale and Gwen watched Miley and Robbie Ray. "Looks like she's not going to be giving up anytime soon," said Gwen.
"No," said Kale, "It doesn't. She's very tough. To keep attacking while she's Hannah Montana is pointless for now… There might be a time where it could become useful but until then, if I'm going to defeat the Power Rangers… I'm going to need a new plan of attack…"
