Azalia was not doing to well right now. The spell to recreate the green emerald had taken a lot out of her, and Hanzo knew it. Hanzo looked at Azalia, as she slept, admiring her.

Hanzo: I had given everything up for you my queen. I don't remember when it was, but I knew that there was one day, that suddenly drew me to you. I had been cursed by this form since then. But had I had my true warrior form, you'd had of noticed me, and we'd be together. Instead...you...you had to do what you did, and it resulted in your son being born.

?: You talking about me?

Hanzo turned around to see Azalia's son. He was in the shadows, and dressed all in black, even covering his face. Hanzo growled.

?: You forget Hanzo, that you're just her bodyguard. But for me, I am her son. And I would gladly show you to never forget your place. As it would seem, I do have a mission to carry out. Now if you don't mind...I got to get out of here. Unlike you, I got some serious business to do.

With that, Azalia's son vanished into the shadows. Hanzo sighed, still watching as Azalia slept.

Elsewhere...

Lauren was training on top of the hotel roof, by herself. Nobody knew she was up there. She enjoyed the wind caressing her hair, even if she manipulated it herself. Still, she was not in a good mood. Inspite of everything, she was not happy with herself.

Lauren: We should have beaten that monster much quicker then that!

She launched a powerful air bullet, which luckily, didn't strike anything. That's when she heard some clapping behind her. She saw a masked figure.

?: Impressive Wind Dragon Ranger. I must say. Your frustrations are delectable. You seem frustrated with yourself, because you believe that the world relies on you far to much. Well what if you decided to just...let go...screw the world.

Lauren: I would never do such a thing.

?: Who are you fooling? Not me. But Lauren...perhaps you're fooling yourself. I can sense the inner darkness within you. So Lauren, let me see just how true of a warrior you are. Dance with me.

He rolled up his right sleeve, to show a dragon morpher. Lauren growled when she saw that. Her's appeared as well. They circled around each other.

?: Make no mistake. I am not one of you. Well I am, but I am far superior to any of you. I am the doubt inside your heart. Your anger, your pride. I am those emotions you try to control, that eventually go chaotic. My name is not important, but for now, you can call me Itachi. The Chaos Dragon Ranger. And...the son of Azalia.

That threw Lauren for a loop, as she was so shocked, that she didn't even notice him transforming. She was decked, and landed near the edge. She got up, and transformed herself. That is when she let loose on wind blasts.

Itachi: Excellent.

A black shield covered the black colored dragon ranger (the patterns being gold and white mix), preventing him from being hit. But when he deactivated it, he fell onto one knee, before he turned into a black streak. Lauren was able to keep up, they both striking each other down quite a lot. Lauren eventually let out a mighty yell, which caused a massive tornado to form on the roof. But then, she was struck down by a black beam.

Suddenly, that's when she heard her communicator go off. It was Ryder.

Lauren: What's going on?

Ryder: Your parents are being attacked at the restaurant. We have no idea where you are, but get down here. It's Hanzo. He's after something again.

Lauren: Kinda busy right now. But I'll be there as soon as I can.

Ryder: you're needed-

Lauren: SHUT UP RYDER! When I say I'm busy, I'm BUSY!

Itachi began to laugh, before he himself melted into the ground. Lauren muttered a curse under he breath. She hopped down to where the fight was, now which had come outside of the building. Hanzo was currently fighting Carl and Jake, and wasn't fairing to well. Lauren then stomped on him.

Lauren: What is it you want Hanzo? The white emerald? HA! As if I'd let you take such a valuable item.

Hanzo: Like the dragon coin and dagger?

That comment pissed off Lauren to no end, and she viciously attacked Hanzo. But Hanzo was able to throw her off, before getting blasted by a really powerful wind blast. She looked up, to see the Komododrones taken care off, but a monster that had drill spikes on it's back attacking the others. Suddenly, she saw it getting blasted back by a white light. Lauren appeared where it came from, seeing a new ranger. A white one.

Lauren: Heather?

Heather: Yeah. Seems like everything was in place afterall. What with my parents moving to Reefside at the end of the week.

Lauren: Yeah. What;s this guys' name.

Monster: I am Drillslash.

Lauren: Yeah that's nice, and all, but I don't care much.

Lauren ran up to the monster, attempting to strike it with her staff, only to be shot back and into the nearby wall. She got up to shake it off.

Ryder: You okay?

Lauren: Yeah. Sorry I went off like that earlier. But We...have a bad ranger on our hands as well. Where he went, I don't know. All I know is, that we need to beat this guy.

Ryder: Agreed. I've been working on better flame projectiles, but even then, they don't affect this guy much.

Lauren: Then let's give him an extra hot one. You power up a flame blast, and I'll assist it.

Ryder did that, and Lauren did her part. They both fired their elements, fusing to create a massive flame tunnel, which struck down Drillslash, destroying it. Ryder, Heather, and Lauren went to help the other rangers up.

Jake: I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad that Heather is the Light Dragon Ranger.

Karmyn: Totally agree.

Suddenly, a black Dragon came down it had massive wings, and a long neck, and a long muzzle for a dragon. Lauren saw who was on top of it.

Lauren: Itachi!

Carl: Who's Itachi?

Lauren: The Chaos Dragon Ranger. The one who kept me occupied before. He's extremely good. To make matters worse, he claims he's Azalia's son.

Ryder: No way.

Karmyn: Unbelievable.

Itachi appeared before the rangers, as Hanzo got up, snarling at the Chaos ranger.

Itachi: Leave us Hanzo. If your intent was to capture the white emerald, you obviously failed. Mother may understand that failures happen, but she has such low tolerance for them. Trust me, even I don't want to fail because of that. Now get out of here, before I destroy you myself. As for you rangers...i'll see you in Reefside. But before I go...I got a bit of a parting present for you.

Itachi tossed the debris of Drillslash a little silver coin, which quickly remade and grew Drillslash to epic proportions. Itachi hopped back into his Dragonzord, and flew off.

Rangers (Except Jake and Heather): We Need Dragonzord power NOW!

The four dragons of wind, fire, earth, and thunder appeared, and began to attack Drillslash, who had no problem holding their own.

Drillslash: Pathetic. Take this.

Drillslash gave a powerful uppercut to redi-kaze, before slashing it's spine, and drilling into the dragon.

Lauren: UGH! Redi-Kaze!

Inferuno tackled Drillslash, before flying back up, and launching a barrage of fireballs at him. Shindou was also causing Quakes, preventing Drillslash to regain proper footing. Ikazuchi the also tackled Drillslash from behind, taking some damage.

Ikazuchi: Damn...note to self...attack the front.

Karmyn: No kidding, the wiring in here's a bit damaged.

Back with Jake and Heather, Jake had summoned his dagger, and had called upon Gogyou.

Heather: Ohhhhh...I wish I could be of some help. This monster just doesn't want to stay down!

She glowed brightly, as a massive white flash appeared. A white version of Itachi's dragon appeared, and blasted the monster of it's feet.

Drillslash: Uigh. Give...UP!

He rose up, and quickly thrust his drill claws into the ground, causing a huge quake, even causing the dragonzords to have trouble having to keep their balance.

Carl: HEY! That monster is ripping our quake abilities. That's whack.

Shindou: No kidding.

Heather was able to hop into her zord. She admired the inside. She then heard the dragon's voice.

White Dragon: Young warrior of light. Thank you for calling upon me. Your drive to help your friends and others summoned me. I am Shiro.

Heather: Thanks. But is there any way we can help Lauren and her dragon, because they have suffered some major damage.

Shiro: Not a problem.

Shiro opened it's mouth, and blasted Redi-Kaze. The blast was actually a healing blast, which recovered part the zord.

Lauren: Thanks Heather.

Heather: Thank Shiro for that one.

Redi-Kaze the flew over to Drillslash, and lifted the monster from it's position, and threw it down. The dragons then lined up to each other.

Karmyn: I think it's time we give this monster a hard lesson in reality. Don't mess with the power rangers. I think it's time we give him the Megazord.

Lauren: Sounds good.

The Dragonzords all assumed their positions, and came together. The only difference was that Shiro replaced Redi-Kaze's tail, with the wings straight up.. Drillslash got up, and forth, and attacked. The Megazord used shiro's wings as a shield, before pushing back, and delivering a powerful blast of light.

Heather: This is amazing.

Lauren: You get used to it. But my patience grows thin. Time to finish this. Dragon Scyth!

The Dragon Scyth was summoned. They powered it up, and slashed Drillslash in half. Or at least, that's what they thought.

Drillslash: HA! Such a weapon wouldn't affect me at all.

In the megazord cockpit...

Lauren: MOTHERF-

Carl: -Easy there Lauren. We will defeat this guy.

Gogyou: Might I suggest something. When I was used in conjunction with the dino zords, My drill tail was used to make the drill staff. Redi-Kaze's tail also has the same capabilities. Why don't you guys use two drill staffs then.

Jake: I'm down with that!

Heather: But first...

The white Dragon arm managed to pick up Drillslash, and toss him aside, as the scyth turned into a drill staff. The other one appeared right after.

Ryder: Let's do it guys.

Heather: YEAH! Lauren, I'm gonna have to thank your dad again for trusting me with the white emerald.

Lauren: What I don't get is, how did he get it?

Redi-Kaze: Matters not Lauren. For now, let's do it.

Rangers: Right! Dragon drill Staffs!

The super Dragonforce Megazord flew up high, got the drills spinning, and charged right back down, Striking Drillslash with both drills. Powerful burst of sparks appeared over the monster, as the drills were removed.

Drillslash: This sucks!

Drillslash fell backwards, and exploded. Lauren smirked behind her helmet as the other rangers cheered for their win.

Later...Lauren was wondering why she was being especially aggressive. She had even noticed that some of her blasts had a dark hue to it. But aside from that, she was glad to see that Heather was now part of the team.

Heather: Thinking over today?

Lauren turned around from the balcony, and nodded.

Lauren: What turned out from a day where I wanted to enjoy some peace of the roof, turned to be another mission. To make matters worse, we do indeed have an evil ranger, who wants what Azalia wants. I can't stand it.

Heather: Lauren. Don't take it personal. You know things will happen. I know you haven't changed much, but you aren't so stubborn now. You accept help. Just remember...the world may feel like it's placed on your shoulders. Perhaps now it is. But I've always been more then willing to help you bear that weight. Judging by everyone else...they want to as well.

Lauren sighed, and smiled. She agreed. She embraced Heather, before she walked off, heading to bed. But it would not be an easy night's sleep for her, as she kept being disturbed by something. She didn't know what it was, but she felt something odd and different about her.

Getting up, she went to the bathroom, and splashed cold water on her face. Because she was in a tank top, she was able to see something off about her skin. There was a strange mark, what looked like three spiraling barbed wires, inbetween her left shoulder and breast, just above the heart area.

Lauren: What the...? What is this?

A/N: Sorry about not updating in a while...been busy and trying to figure out a good way to get Heather as the white ranger, and for that, I'm sorry about the disappointment. I'll try to get another chapter out soon enough.
