Chapter 7: To Be Yourself Unicorn Or Not to be Yourself Unicorn
Gabe's Narration
In those after school specials, people say always be yourself . However when it comes to me, people want me to be just like someone else that I am clearly not. It sounds so contradicting doesn't it. I am not a clone of someone else, and I do not pretend to be just like someone else. Sometimes, I hope that people around me see that I am being myself, and not being just like my older brother.
End Narration
At Gabe's house, Gabe is eating dinner with his parents and his older brother Junior. "So Junior, have you gotten started on college applications yet"? Tina asks Junior.
Tina is a middle aged woman as she is married to Julio. They are mostly proud of Junior than Gabe. Junior looks at them. "Yes I am applying at six different universities". Junior said to them.
Gabe sighs as his older brother is the favorite one in their family. 'I am not ready to talk about colleges just yet'. Gabe thought to himself as ex is eating dinner.
Julio looks at his younger son. "You know Gabriel. You should starting thinking about college just like Junior". Julio said to Gabe.
Tina nods in agreement. "Yes you just need to be more serious as well and more focused into your school work". Tina said to Gabe.
Gabe is getting annoyed as the subject has gotten back to 'be just like your brother' speech.
Junior looks at them. "Mom, dad, what do you think of the Power Rangers that has recently shown up in town"? Junior asks them.
Tina and Julio looks at Junior as the new subject comes up. "Saved by the subject change", Gabe mumbles to himself.
Tina glances at Gabe. "Gabriel, you should not mumble to yourself like that". Tina said to Gabe.
Julio looks at them as this is typical in the household. "Well, it has been 8 years since Power Rangers has saved the world in Reefside, Clover Hills, and Warrior Heights". Julio said to them.
Tina nods as she agrees with her husband. "Would it be wonderful if you are one of those rangers, Junior". Tina said to Junior.
Gabe's eyes widen as he is hearing this, but he can not tell his secret to his family. He gets up and leaves the table without saying a word to them.
Junior looks at them. "I do not think it would be wise for someone to reveal that they are a ranger to friends and family. It is their secret". Junior said to them.
Up in Gabe's room, Gabe is annoyed that his mom thinks that Junior is a ranger. 'Of course they would think Junior is a ranger. He is the perfect son'. Gabe though to himself as he went to bed for the night.
That night at WC Lab Corp, Crushmis is on a raging fit. "Those rangers has defeated another creation. What will it take to actually stop these pesky rangers"? Crushmis asks his robotic officers.
The robotic officers look at each other. One of them looks at Crushmis. "Sir, it seems there might be more gemstones out there besides the eight gemstones that you know of. If we get our hands on them, the rangers will have a harder time with things", the robotic officer said to Crushmis .
Crushmis's interests are peaking as he looks at them. "More Underdog Gemstones, I didn't think that would be possible". Crushmis said to them.
The robotic officers nod as they show some evidence of it. "We do not know which gemstone it is sir? We will continue to research". The robotic officers said to Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at them. "Do it now, I got a creation to pick to send out against the rangers". Crushmis said to them as he left the room as he has chosen another creation to send against the rangers.
The next day at school, Gabe is trying to pay attention in class. The teacher looks at Gabe. "Mr.
Sanchez please pay close attention to the lecture not your not book. Honestly why can't you be just like your brother"? The teacher asks Gabe.
Gabe sighs as the bell rings to dismiss students from their class to go to their next class. For him, it is heading towards lunch. As he notices a group of girls, Gabe decides to flirt with them. However the group of girls went towards his brother Junior.
Gabe sighs as he went to the lunchroom. As he sits down to eat, the other teens went to sit with him. Lexi notices that something is up. "Ok flirt guy, what is the matter with you"? Lexi asks Gabe.
Gabe glances at his teammates. "It is nothing really". Gabe said as he is feeling annoyed and down.
Andy looks at Gabe as he shakes his head. "Come on Gabe, we all can see that something is bugging you". Andy said to Gabe.
Gwen looks at Gabe as she wants to help him feel better. She has a warm smile on her face.
Gabe turns to Gwen as he gives a faint smile to her. He turns back to the others. "I am annoyed that everyone wants me to be just like my older brother. He is the guy everyone likes while I am the expected to be just like him". Gabe said to them.
The teens look at each other. Tyson looks at Gabe. "No two pieces of music are the same, Gabe. It is just like with fingerprints". Tyson said to Gabe.
Ryan looks at Gabe as he could not help but thinking about his grandfather. Zoe looks at Gabe. "I always thought that people should be themselves not changing to be just like someone else". Zoe said to Gabe.
Gabe looks at Zoe as he sighs to her. "Try to tell that to my parents, they like it when people are the same". Gabe said to Zoe.
Daphne shakes her head as she is hearing it. "If everyone becomes same, the world will become boring and dreary. There wouldn't be anything different that makes us unique". Daphne said to Gabe.
Gabe looks at Daphne as he shrugs to her. "The day they will finally see that is the day they will see the light of error of their thinking". Gabe said to them. The teens glances at each other as they are eating lunch.
After school, Gabe is at the front of the school as he is about to meet up with the teens for training at the boat. Junior spots his younger brother. "Gabe, where are you heading off too"? Junior asks Gabe.
Gabe turns to his older brother. "I have soccer practice". Gabe said to Junior.
Junior has that skeptical look on his face. "Try that again little brother, soccer season is not until spring". Junior said to Gabe.
Gabe rolls his eyes at Junior. "It is not any of your concern, Junior. My friends are waiting for me". Gabe said to Junior.
Junior looks at Gabe as he is curious about his friends. "Are they really friends or are they using you because of our family name"? Junior asks Gabe.
Gabe looks really hurt when Junior asks that question. "That is a punch to the gut Junior, and you know it. Why don't you go and be Mr. Perfect just like mom, dad, and all of the teachers envisioned you to be". Gabe said to Junior as he went off to meet up with his friends at the boat.
Junior is taken back by what Gabe said to him. He is very surprised by how angry Gabe is with him. He looks down on himself. "If only people can see that I have flaws as well". Junior said to himself as he is heading home. Little did he know that something has reawaken waiting to be rise up by him.
On the boat, Ken is on the computer as a gemstone signature has popped up on the computer screen. He is very surprised by it as an image of a centaur on the screen. He is very surprised by the sudden new gemstone. Plus he also sees the evil forces close by to where the gemstone. "Rangers come quickly", Ken yells out to them.
The teens are in the training room as they hear Ken's voice. They rush up to the main ops room of the boat. "What's going on Ken"? Daphne asks Ken.
Ken looks at them as he has a serious look on his face. "An gemstone signature has appeared in the woods, and the underbots are close by". Ken said to them.
The teens are very surprised by the news of another gemstone. Something in Gabe makes him wants to act now. "We got to get it before they do". Gabe said as he has a very sudden serious look on his face.
This surprises the teens in a very off guard. Daphne notices that is is not very often that Gabe goes into serious mode. "Gabe is right. We better go now". Daphne said to them. The teens head out from the boat to the woods.
At the woods, a creation, underbots, and first of the robotic officers are trying to find the gemstone. "This is getting really annoying really quick". The robotic officer said to them.
The creation is a dog hybrid as it is really stinky like a wet dog mixed a stunk. "I can sniff it out". The Watery Dog said to the robotic officer.
The robotic officer rolls it's eyes to the creation. "How about all of you hold it right there". Gabe said to them. The eight teens arrive at the scene.
The robotic officer and the Watery Dog looks at the teens. "So you must be the eight teens that has gotten in Crushmis's way to rule the world. I am Zongbot one of Crushmis's top officers". Zongbot said to them.
Lexi scoffs at the robotic officer named Zongbot. "Zongbot, it sounds like someone has a very cruel sense of humor you hunk of a tin can". Lexi said to Zongbot.
Zongbot turns to Lexi as it glares at her. "You are very rude young lady". Zongbot said to Lexi.
The teens look at them as they grab their morphors out. "You are not going to like is for long. Underdog Squad Lets Rise Up", Gabe said as he and the other teens morph into ranger form.
Zongbot looks at the eight teens. "So you are power rangers then. Underbots and Watery Dog go get them. I got a gemstone to find". Zongbot said to them.
Watery Dog looks at the rangers as the underbots are charging at them. "It will not be long that you all will be the same water blobs". Watery Dog said to the rangers.
The rangers grabs their weapons out as they slash at the underbots. Zoe throws her knives at the underbots. Lexi is punching at them like a bouncer. Ryan and Tyson are together fighting the underbots.
Andy, Gabe, Gwen, and Daphne are together as they are dealing with the underbots. "Hey Daphne, can give me a lift"? Gabe asks Daphne.
Daphne nods to Gabe as she holds her arms out. Gabe runs up as he jumps off her shoulder to slash at the underbots.
Watery Dog fires it's water blobs at the rangers. However it got Andy and Gwen. As they got hit, Andy and Gwen gets turned into blobs and they look the same.
The rangers are stunned by this. "Andy", Ryan said to Andy as he is getting scared by it.
"Gwen no", Zoe yells out to Gwen. She is stunned as this has happened to the yellow ranger.
Lexi glares at the Watery Dog. "What did you do them, you twisted dog"? Lexi asks Watery Dog.
Watery Dog looks at the pink ranger. "Oh pink ranger, I turned your lame friends into blobs. Plus they are exactly the same". Watery Dog said to them.
The remaining teens are stunned to see two dark gray blobs of Andy and Gwen. Daphne looks at them. "Guys don't let the blobs hit you". Daphne said to them.
They nod in agreement as they are ready to fight back. As the Watery Dog fires more of the blobs at the rangers, they dodge it.
Ryan looks at his teammates. "Umm guys, I do not know how long we can keep this up". Ryan said to them as he is dodging the the blobs along with the others.
Tyson nods in agreement. "Something about this is going to give in like a bad note". Tyson said to them.
The blobs are keep going at them. All the sudden, it hits Zoe and Ryan as they turn into blobs.
"No Zoe", Lexi yells out to Zoe. "Oh man, it even got Ryan like a silent note". Tyson said to them.
The Watery Dog is getting really excited as throws a lot more blobs at them. It even got Tyson, Lexi, and Daphne except Gabe.
Gabe is stunned as he is the only one left to stop the creation. "It is just you and me green ranger. You will be one of my blobs just like your friends. There is nothing you can do". The Watery Dog said to Gabe.
Gabe frowns as he is getting really mad. "You are wrong. There is something I can do. Being the same will make the world boring, and I will always be myself. That is my mission to prove". Gabe said to the Watery Dog.
The Watery Dog is taken back by the green aura of the Unicorn glowing within Gabe. "What no", the Watery Dog said to the green ranger.
"Emerald Unicorn Lets Rise Up", Gabe said as the Emerald Unicorn rises up. It charges in at the Watery Dog as it hits the choker on its waist.
As the creation disappears an reversing back to a male human being, the blobs are reversing back as the teens in ranger form as well.
The emerald unicorn senses that a gemstone is still in close range from being snatched. It nudges at Gabe as it wants him to come.
Gabe looks at the unicorn. "That gemstone you want me to come with you". Gabe said to the unicorn.
The Unicorn nods as it wants Gabe to ride on it. "I think it wants you to ride it, Gabe". Daphne said to Gabe.
Gabe looks at the Emerald Unicorn. "Guys follow me", Gabe said to them. The rangers nod to Gabe.
At the location, Zongbot spots the gold gemstone. "Ah, it is the gold gemstone. That is one for my master". Zongbot said to himself.
All the sudden, the Gabe rides in with the Emerald Unicorn. It jumps over Zongbot. "Hold it right there", Gabe said to Zongbot.
Zongbot is stunned as it sees the rangers and the green ranger riding on his Emerald Unicorn. "What no, that Watery Dog should turned all of you into the same blobs". Zongbot said to the green ranger.
Gabe rolls his eyes underneath his helmet. "Being myself, it is the only way I roll". Gabe said to Zongbot.
Zongbot frowns as it got cornered by the rangers. "It is time for me to leave". Zongbot said as it got away.
The Emerald Unicorn nods to Gabe as it disappears. Lexi looks at Gabe. "Ok that right there is way cool". Lexi said to Gabe.
Gabe shrugs as he spots the gold gemstone. "Guys, it is a gold gemstone". Gabe said to them.
Daphne looks at her morphor as the signature matches to the signature they got at boat. "This is defiantly the gemstone that got our attention". Daphne said to them.
Just as the teens nod in agreement, the gemstone is glowing as a centaur is rising up. "Greetings rangers, I am the gold centaur". The centaur said to them.
Ryan is caught very off guard as it really scares him. "You can talk". Ryan said to the centaur.
The centaur looks at the white ranger. "You have no reason to fear me, Phoenix. I am a half of a man and half of a horse". The centaur said to Ryan.
Ryan is more at ease as he nods to the centaur. "Ok", Ryan said to the centaur.
Zoe looks at the centaur and the others. "Should one of us take the gold gemstone back to the boat"? Zoe asks them.
The centaur looks at the purple ranger. "Sweet angel, the only person can pick it up is you, unicorn". The centaur said to Zoe as it is looking at Gabe.
Lexi has her arms crossed as she looks at the centaur. "Why is Gabe the one gets to pick the gemstone up? Daphne is the leader of the team"? Lexi asks the Centaur.
The Centaur looks at the mad pink ranger. "Mermaid, it is true that the dragon is the leader, but someone in the unicorn's family has reawaken me. It is the unicorn's responsibility to bring the gold gemstone to your base until my chosen one has arrived". The centaur said to them.
The teens look at each other as it is something that they are learning new about the gemstones. As Gabe picks the gold gemstone up, the centaur disappears back into the gemstone. He has a sneaky suspicion on who it might be."Guys, we have to bring that man to the hospital". Gabe said to them.
Andy looks at Gabe. "Don't worry about that Gabe, we got it". Andy said to Gabe.
Gabe looks at the others as they nod to him as they got it covered. "See you guys back at the boat", Gabe said to them.
A little while later, the teens are back on the boat. Ken is surprised by the gold gemstone and the report that the rangers told him. "This villain's name is Crushmis". Ken said to them.
Daphne nods to Ken. "Yeah it turns out that Zongbot is one of his officers". Daphne said to Ken.
Ken looks at them as it is puzzling him. "The gold gemstone, the centaur said that someone in the unicorn's family has reawaken it". Ken said as he is processing it.
Gabe nods as he does not understand it either. "Yeah but who in my family has done it"? Gabe asks them.
Gwen looks at Gabe as she is curious. "It could be someone you didn't suspect, Gabe". Gwen said to Gabe.
Tyson nods in agreement. "Yeah a new teammate is like a new piece of music just waiting to be played". Tyson said to Gabe.
Gabe nods as he looks at his teammates. "Yeah, it is just like that". Gabe said to them. He is wondering how to tell this new member about becoming a ranger.
Back at the Sanchez household, Junior is doing his homework. "Junior where is your brother? He is late". Tina asks Junior.
Junior looks at his mom. "I do not know mom". Junior said to Tina. Tina sighs to Junior. "I wish that brother of yours could be more like you". Tina said to Junior as she leaves the room.
Junior sighs as he does not like it that his own parents talk down on his younger brother. 'Gabe does not deserve to be talked down like that'. Junior thought to himself as he has no idea that he will become a ranger.
End Chapter
Yeah Junior will become the newest ranger to join the team. He will be one of three new rangers to join the team.
Plus when I said that Robin will be the only veteran ranger that will show up in this, I may change my mind. I do have some big things planned for this story. The second arc will be called Vivid Memories. The third arc of the story will be called The Mysteries of the Past and Present, and that is the arc that will probably be the longest arc in this story. Not only it will have the main mystery of the WC Lab Corp, there will be a couple of mysteries within it.
