Okay I'm just putting this out now. This chapter took me almost the whole day to write. Had to watch the episode at least 6 times just understand it, and I still didn't get it. So for those who was looking foreword to this chapter I'm sorry, I couldn't get the episode. I was about to give up on this chapter and move straight to Pirate in Pink, but I decided to go through it and see what came out. I hope you like it!
(I was looking through my "Notes" and I messed up on ages...oops)
Disclaimer: I do not own power rangers.
Chapter: 7
Weather or not
Desmond leaned back next to Rose taking a much needed nap. Will smirked at him and leaned back. "Seems like his nieces and nephews took a lot out of him."
"They're 6 and 2 year olds. What do you expect from them?" Rose asked looking over the book.
"But still, St. Lucia nothing like a Caribbean island paradise." Will smiled.
"Yeah, the beach is a little slow for me." Ronny stated sitting next to Will. "Unless, I'm flying though the sand in a dune-buggy." She stated smiling.
"I don't think we'll be seeing many dune-buggy where we're going." Rose stated flipping a page in her book. "The southern part of the island is mostly dense jungle and thick forest."
"This is so amazing." Mack smiled walking over with his bag. "Traveling deep inside uncharted territory to locate a powerful jewel before the forces of evil can find it and use it against humanity."
"Great...can you get off me..." Derek groaned out.
"What?" Mack looked down and stood up moving to the right of the green ranger. "Sorry man."
Derek shook his head and sat up. "Thanks for the terrible wake up call."
Suddenly Dax came jumping over landing in the middle of the bags. "Not so fast. I read that St. Lucia is haunted."
"That's just fold lord Dax." Rose stated and looked at Derek. "Right?"
Derek blinked and held his hand up. "Dad and uncle David had magical arrow heads and gave it to Desmond and Shayera, then turns out my mom is a sorceress passing her magic down to her kids." He looked at Rose blinking slowly. "I think a haunting is pretty real if magic is real."
Dax nodded. "Thank you Derek!" He started to squeeze his little blue pouch.
"Are those marble?" Will asked.
"Not just any marbles." Dax stated. "Their my lucky marbles."
Shayera shook her head and stretched, looking at her twin brother. "Well, that was fun."
"What, the part where Tori's water suddenly broke right when we got to the hospital? Yeah, fun." Desmond shook his head. "Aaron Bradley, cute baby."
"I know right." Shayera smiled. "But not that, I mean the fact we are back here...at Pai Zhuq."
"Well, you were here a while ago right? To train what his face Jarrod right?" Desmond questions the young mother.
"Yeah, it was a little after we move to San Angeles Master Mao came to ask me to train him." Shayera stated. "I think he got too attach to me."
"That's a no." Desmond stated leaning against the large wooden pole. "I mean you and me got our butt whooped by Master Finn when we got to attach to him."
"No kidding." Shayera smiled, looking over the area. "Hey remember when I pushed you into RJ?"
"Then we landed inside the pond?" Desmond smirked. "Yeah...I also remember that one girl cried when we had to leave for the ninja academy."
Shayera chuckled and shook her head. "That girl had a thing for you, I swear."
"Desmond, Shayera." Master Mao stated walking towards the two masters. "It is good to see you once again."
"It's good to see you too Master Mao." Shayera stated bowing to him.
"Yeah, good to see you Master Mao." Desmond said bowing with his sister.
Mao smiled and nodded his head. "This way, I wish not to keep you away from your family, and girlfriend."
Shayera smiled following him. "Well after this I'll be checking the house and see how it going."
"Yeah, and I'm just getting pack for when they say, 'hey you, yeah you boy. Your going here.' It's bound to happen." Desmond shrugged.
"It's good to know, you two haven't change, especially with motherhood Shayera." Mao smiled at the White Leopard master. "In fact Jarrod wishes to show you how much he progressed."
"Great." Shayera smiled. "But before that...lets get this meeting over with."
"Yeah, if what you said in your letter is right, then we can't post-pond this meeting any longer." Desmond frowned crossing his arms.
Mao nodded walking into a secured room, sitting down at a table. "Yes...the fact I been getting a terrible feeling something will happen soon."
"On our ride here, I manage to do what Anna been doing with her magic. I got a vision, wasn't clear but I saw what looked like Dai Shi's men attacking people." Shayera stated.
"Then we must hurry with the selections soon." Mao stated.
"Mister Hartford?" Diana called out walking down the stairs to the base surprising the older man.
"Diana? What did I tell you about-"
"Dillon is watch the triplets...I was wondering if I could go outside and practice my magic." The young girl asked.
Blinking, Andrew looked over at the stairs. "Spencer!"
"You called sir?" Spencer asked walking down the stairs dressed up as person from the Caribbean.
Diana smiled and hid her smiled behind the book muffling her giggles.
"Spencer I-" Andrew stopped looking at his butler confused. "What's with the get up?"
"In case I'm needed on this mission, I wanted to show you I'm able to blend in as an Islander. Before you send me undercover as a parent."
"Well hopefully that won't be necessary." Andrew stated. "Now two things, first thing why is the jewel driver not operational yet?"
"It is running a little bit behind schedule but I assure you it will be ready for this island adventure." Spencer smiled. "Now what was the second thing?"
"Right, after you get the team together, Diana." He held is hand out to the young girl. "Wants to train her magic outside, can you watch her?"
"Of course sir, come along Diana." Spencer smiled.
"Man, this place is huge, kinda like Andrew's place." Desmond smiled.
"Yeah, well, your girl is pregnant so I figured if you and Rachel are gonna live with us at one point me and Hunter asked the guy to make it slightly bigger...not like this though." Shayera stated looking at the house.
"So who in charge?" Desmond asked.
"I don't know." Shayera stated getting out of the car.
"I think that would be me." Dante smiled walking over to his two childhood friends.
"Dante hey!" Desmond smiled and gave the former gold ranger their secret handshake.
Shayera rolled her eyes and hugged Dante. "Hey it's good to see you. I didn't know you were the one in charge."
"Yeah, well my assistant has been answering your calls, since most of the time Jake takes me out on a date." Dante smiled.
"Well then." Shayera smiled looking at the house.
"Remember be careful." Andrew stated walking in front of the rangers. "There's no telling who you might run into on this island"
Suddenly the alarm started getting the rangers attention, and seeing what Moltor is doing on the screen. Derek sighed. "Well, that's not surprising at all."
"Looks like the trip is gonna have to wait. Moltor has other plans." Andrew stated looking at the screen then at the rangers.
"Lets ranger up." Mack called out placing his bag down.
"Great, all in the days work right Dax?" Derek smiled looking at the blue ranger.
"Nah, I think this only happens every other Tuesday...or is it Wednesday" Dax stated looking at the green ranger.
"Overdrive Accelerate!"
Diana laid on the grass curled up with her book next to her asleep. Spencer walked out with water looking around. "Miss Diana? Diana where are you?"
Yawning the young girl sat up rubbing her eyes. "Grandpa Spencer?"
"Ah, I brought you some water." Spencer smiled walking towards the young girl.
"Oh, thank you."
"I'll save the driver you guys go after Moltor." Mack stated running with the rangers.
"I rather help you with the guy then Moltor." Derek shrugged, following Mack towards the truck driver.
"Hey!" Mack shouted jumping and kicked one of the lava lizards.
Smirking under his mask, Derek ran towards one of the lava lizards and started to toy with them around the yellow truck. "Come on, are you guys really that slow?"
"Derek I don't think it's really the time to play around." Mack stated.
"Well, I'm tired I stayed up really late, I need to do something." Derek stated kicking a Lava lizard hard in the back. "Plus, you should be careful you may hurt the driver."
"Thanks for the advice!" Mack yelled.
Derek nodded and leaned back noticing the whole. "Whoa...what is this for?" Groaning, he kicked off some of the lava lizards and turned his head. "Mack!"
The red ranger pushed the driver away, and started to get sliced by the lava lizards. "I'm fine Derek!" Mack nodded and took out his saber jumping up slicing the two lava lizards.
"Good to know." Derek nodded and jumped off the yellow truck looking at the lava lizards. "Come on."
Suddenly a loud shout caught the green rangers attention. Turning his head Derek groaned once he saw what was going to happen. "Mack! Don't just stand there! Move!"
"So here, is the master bedroom, made for you and Hunter Shay." Dante stated showing the twins the somewhat completed house. "I can say this place will be complete pretty soon, but we still need to work with the wiring and plumbing."
"Good to know, can we see the nursery, if it's complete that is." Shayera asked.
"Yeah sure, let-"
"Mr. DeSantos! It looks like it's about to rain we're gonna need to stop!" One of the workers shouted.
"Alright!" Dante shouted.
"Well, I should actually head out now, and see how things are doing with the kids." Shayera smiled.
"I thought Hunter was watching them." Dante asked.
"Tori had her son yesterday, so Hunter is helping Blake adjust to fatherhood. I'll get the same help from him once Rachel gives birth." Desmond stated.
"Wow, and you two are only engaged." Dante smiled. "At least it's not in high school."
"Excuse m-" Shayera blinked looking out the window. "It's the middle of the summer...why do I see hail?"
"What?"
"That was brutal." Will sighed.
"I feel like all 4 of my tires blew out." Ronny complained.
Derek sat down and closed his eyes meditating. "You all got beaten I was playing tag."
Rose looked over at Mack and asked, "You okay Mack?"
Mack looked at the pink ranger and sighed shaking his head. "No I'm not okay. I blew it. If it wasn't for Will"
"Don't be so hard on yourself." Will said. "That's why there are six of us."
"Yeah, if one is stuck in a corner, we help the other." Derek stated leaning back against the wall.
"What did Moltor want with that guy?" Dax asked.
"He didn't want the guy..." Rose started.
"He wanted to subatomic generator." Derek finished.
"Your right, Rose, Derek. But why?" Andrew asked.
"Sir!" Spencer called out walking inside drench. "This weather is relentless! "First, Diana passed out from heat exhaustion, the sun cooked my daisies, and then this sudden down pour washed away my favorite melons! Something is terribly wrong!"
Andrew frowned and turned around whispers, "Let's not tell Shayera about her daughter." Sighing he clicked on one of the buttons watching the news report.
"Stifling heat and masses rainfall coming out of nowhere, washed out roads and knocked out power over the globe. The National Guard has been called in to regulate the chaos."
"Whatever he's doing it's connected to this in climate weather."
Andrew stated, and looked down. "I...I'm putting the jewel quest on hold."
Derek nodded and blinked slowly. "I sense an angry mother."
"What?" Will asked to both Derek and Andrew.
Andrew bit his lip, and started to talk fast, "I have a new zord that will help you in battle. Mack! It got your name on it."
"No..." Mack said shaking his head. "I think you should give it to someone else."
"Look, I know you had some trouble out there. But it's times like these that defines a hero." Andrew stated looking at Derek. "How close."
"Pretty close I think." Derek stated. "Oh, I think she's pissed."
"Who?" Dax finally asked.
"ANDREW HARTFORD!"
The group stopped and looked over at the stairs. Derek chuckled and looked at Andrew. "Yup, here comes everyone's nightmare."
Walking down the stairs, is a young pissed off, Shayera Alexandra Oliver-Bradley arms crossed, and her pink sweater soaked. "Care to tell me why, my daughter, Diana has ice pack on her head, and has so much water bottles around her?"
"Shayera...not now. I'll explain everything to you soon." Andrew stated, moving back from the angry mother.
"I leave you, with my children hoping you could keep them safe." Shayera growled walking towards the older man ignoring the looks form the rangers. "I know Derek would be busy as a ranger, so that's why I trusted you and Spencer. Now you explain to me right now."
Andrew took a deep breath and looked at the young mother. "Well...you see. Moltor took a subatomic generator, and what ever he needed it for is connected to the weather." He said leaning against the computer and continued, "Diana came to me earlier asking if she could practice outside, I told Spencer to watch her."
Shayera frowned looking at him. "Fine, but if this happens again your in trouble."
"I never knew a woman can make Andrew so scared." Will whispered.
"Yeah...she's like my mom, and I have a feeling Diana will be just like here." Derek smiled and blinked. "Wait that won't be a good thing."
"Hey, how are you doing baby?" Shayera asked patting Diana's forehead.
"I'm fine mom." Diana smiled. "Really."
"Come on Shay don't be like Mom." Derek smiled. "Your turning more like her everyday."
Shayera chuckled and kissed her head daughter's head. "Did you enjoy your time?"
"Yeah."
"Mom!"
Shayera turned around and smiled hugging Markus and Ace. "Hey, where's your older brother and your little sister?"
"Hi mom." Dillon smiled walking towards his mother holding Tenaya's hand.
Shayera smiled and picked up her youngest daughter. "Hi Dillon, hey Tenaya. Did you guys enjoy?"
"Yeah." They all answered.
Shayera smiled and looked at Derek. "How come your not with your team?"
"Going in 3...2...and.."
"Derek, I got the zord working come on!" Mack yelled through the morpher.
"See you guys later!" Derek smiled and ran off.
After the battle, Shayera got a call from Tori for motherhood help. The 5 kids stayed another night at the Hartford's place much to the rangers' enjoyment.
"We're going to get this jewel or what?" Mack smiled walking in.
"Yeah!" Dax smiled. "My father always said it not whether you fall down." The blue ranger leaned back and fell, but got back up. "It's when you get back up."
"I agree." Derek said holding a sleeping Tenaya close to him. "I mean every team member has their moment of doubt. It's normal that what makes a team stronger."
"Oh, words of wisdom from Uncle Derek?" Rose smiled.
Derek blinked and blushed looking away. "J-Just passing down words from my sister."
"Awww, you made the poor guy blush Rose." Ronny chuckled.
Will chuckled rubbing his hands over the marbles. "Don't tease the guy."
Derek smiled and walked off to the nursery.
Will watched him leave and smiled at Rose. "Okay Rose, say it."
"Say what?" Rose asked leaning back.
"Oh come on." Ronny rolled her eyes. "Admit it, you like Derek."
"I-I do not." Rose frowned blushing lightly.
"Then explain the blush." Will smirked.
Groaning Rose hid her face behind the book making the other rangers laugh.
"But wait isn't Derek like 16?" Dax asked.
"17." Will answered. "When I made things cool with us he told me his age."
"How about you Rose?" Ronny asked.
"17..." Rose muttered behind her book.
"She so likes him." Ronny smirked.
Diana groaned in her sleep turning around curled up with her snowman.
"Diana I'm sorry!" A tall tan man called out to an older woman. "We need another ranger please."
The older woman frowned and looked at the man. "If it weren't for you, my two baby brothers would be here right now holding their baby sister, but no! You had to go on their hero train and let them die! So why would I go on a team with the man who murdered by two baby brothers!" The young woman shook her head and turned away. "I have to help my mother watch Melodie, I don't care if you need another ranger but it won't be me!"
"I understand you hate me." The man in red stated.
"Hate you?" The young woman laughed and shook her head. "No, I despise you! Now I live a life with just my baby sister, my older brother is missing, my other little sister is gone maybe dead, and now my baby brothers are dead."
"Just let it go."
"Let it go? Let it go?!" The young woman punched the man in red hard in the face. "How can I let go the fact that my baby brothers are dead! How can I let that go!" She punched him again and turned around. "Go to hell Scott. Cause I know Markus and Ace don't deserve it."
