Chapter 8: Never Play Jazz Music Alone, Diana
At Diana Rhodes house, an argument between Diana's mom and dad is taking place. "You are not seeing things clearly, Kyle. It will be best if Diana lives with me. She is the only family member I have left". Erica said to Kyle.
Kyle shakes his head to Erica. "You must be nuts. I want Diana to live with me. She is my daughter as well, Erica". Kyle said to Erica. Erica rolls her eyes at Kyle as the bickering continues.
Diana is in her room as she hears the words flying around. She is trying to do her homework. She sighs as she grabs her school books and put it in her backpack. Diana grabs her cell phone to call Corey. "Hey Corey, it Diana, can I come over? I can't concerate on my homework at my house". Diana said to Corey over the phone.
Corey is at home doing homework and on the phone with Diana. "Sure Diana, come on over", Corey said to Diana. "Thanks Corey, see you in a few". Diana said to Corey as the phone call ends.
Diana packs her school pack with her homework. She heads down stairs as her parents look at her. "Diana, where are you going"? Erica asks Diana.
Diana looks at them. "I am going to Corey's to finish my homework. I can not concentrate on it with your agruing going on". Diana said to them. Erica and Kyle look at each other as things simmer down for now.
At Corey's house, Corey is working on his homework. It is not long that Diana arrives at his house. Corey looks at Diana. "Hey Diana, come on in", Corey said to Diana.
Diana smiles as she walk in Corey's house. Conner is in the kitchen as he sees the two are doing their homework.
Corey looks at Diana. "What's going on at your house, Diana"? Corey asks Diana. Diana notices that concern look on his face. "My parents were fighting and mostly arguing. I could not focus on my homework". Diana said to Corey.
Corey looks at Diana as he gets the feeling that there is more too it. "Did something happen since the last time I saw you"? Corey asks Diana.
Diana sighs as she looks at Corey. "My sister and I got into a car crash three years ago. She is still in a coma. My parents broke up, and they are fighting over who gets custody of me". Diana admits to Corey.
Corey winces and cringes as he hears it: "I know what it is like to be in the middle of a custody dispute. Plus you should not handle this alone". Corey said to Diana.
Diana sighs as she looks at Corey. "I appreciate on what you are saying Corey, but I am not ready to tell the others about it just yet". Diana said to Corey as they continue working on their homework.
At the lair of Dr. Mutron, Fortesilenco is annoyed yet again that the rangers defeated another monster. 'Perhaps we need to strike when one of the rangers is all alone. I would personally like to see if it is the red ranger. After all, he is the leader, so it should be him'. Fortesilenco thought to himself as he picks a terrible monster.
That Monday afternoon, Diana is at a hospital visiting her sister. The young woman in bed is attached to heart monitor. "Hey May, I am doing well in school. I got reunited with Corey McKnight. He and his dad moved to Reefside. Mom and dad are still arguing about who gets custody of me. Anyways, I have a new group of friends. It's like we have more things in common and something big to bring us together in a way I never thought about. Anyways, maybe I will bring them the next time I come. I love you, May". Diana said to the young woman named May.
As she leaves the hospital, Diana hears screams as people is running away from something. She sees Mutezoids and a ugly monster attacking the city. Diana went to a private area. "Music Force Lets Play the Music", Diana said as she morphs into her ranger form.
The monster is a hedious DJ monster. "Woah, woah, woah, I am hoping for more rangers than one ranger, but getting you out of the way will bring the others surely enough". The DJ monster said to Diana.
Diana looks at the DJ monster. "I can handle this, and your beats sounds worse than a nail on a black board". Diana said to the DJ monster as the fight begins.
At DT Wave, the teens are training with Kira and the Unity Force Blue Ranger Justin. Justin notices a yellow saxophone and realizes that a yellow cladded teen is not there. "Who is your yellow ranger and where is he or she"? Justin asks them.
Kira looks at them realizing that something is might be wrong. "She told me that she visits her sister once a week. Diana is the yellow ranger". Kira said to Justin.
The rangers here the alarm going off. They look up at the monitors sees Diana in a fight all by herself. Kira turns to them. "Diana is fighting a monster by herself, go help her". Kira said to them.
Corey frowns as he realizes that she found trouble and went to fight the monster alone. "Let's go guys", Corey said to them. The other teens nod as they went with Corey as they head to the battle scene.
Back at the battle scene, Diana is struggling to defeat the DJ monster. Plus the powers of the monster are overwhelming her. "This ranger is ready for top 10 worst songs that should have been taken to the trash". The DJ monster said as he kicks Diana.
Just as the monster kicks Diana, the others arrive with Corey and Wally giving a punch to the DJ monster in ranger form."Hitting a girl, you shouldn't have done that". Wally said to the monster. Laura went to Diana's side. "Diana are you ok"? Laura asks Diana. "I am", Diana said as she winces in pain.
Vivian looks at Diana. "You do not look fine". Vivian said to Diana. Julianne looks at Diana. "Come on, let us help", Julianne said to Diana. Diana shrugs as Vivian and Julianne supports their injured teammate back to their command center.
The DJ monster looks at them. "Looks like you all have finally came, but I rather come back at a later time. Later rangers". The DJ monster said to them as it teleports away.
Back at DT Wave, Kira and Justin sees the rangers returning with an injured Diana. They lay Diana in the med area of the command basement. Justin looks at them. "I think I need a word with your yellow ranger". Justin said to them. Kira nod in agreement as she leads him to Diana.
Diana looks at the veteran blue ranger. "You must be an Unity Force Veteran Ranger". Diana said to Justin. Justin nods to Diana. "I was the blue ranger. When I saw you being brought in as an injured ranger, it reminded me of me when I was a ranger. In fact, you made the same mistake a made". Justin said to Diana.
Diana looks at Justin. "A mistake on what"? Diana asks Justin . Justin looks at Diana. "Fighting that monster alone", Justin said to Diana.
Diana looks at Justin. "I can handle a lot of things alone". Diana said to Justin. Justin looks at Diana. "Defeating a monster from evil forces is a team affair. In a jazz band, who leads it"? Justin asks Diana.
Diana looks at Justin as she starts to understand it. "The conductor", Diana said to Justin. Justin nods to Diana. Who is the leader of the team"? Justin asks Diana. Diana smiles as she knows the answer to it. "Corey, he is the red ranger". Diana said to Justin.
Justin nods to Diana. "You see on a ranger team; you can not face a monster by yourself. I have learn that lesson as well". Justin said to Diana.
Diana looks at Justin. "Who did you learn from"? Diana asks Justin. "My mentor, Coach Jason Lee Scott, maybe you guys will meet him soon". Justin said to Diana.
Diana nods to Justin as the others and Kira came in the room. "Hey you guys, I am sorry about fighting that monster alone. I should have called the conductor of our team to help much sooner". Diana said to them.
They nod as they grin at the analogy. "It's ok Diana. We are glad to see that you are still with us". Bobby said to Diana. Matthew nods in agreement. "That monster will not be alright once we all face that monster together". Matthew said to Diana.
Diana nods to them. "I will not play jazz music alone against a monster anymore". Diana said to them. As Corey is about to nod in agreement, the alarm is going back off again. Kira looks at them. "The worse DJ on this side of Earth is back at the park". Kira said to them.
Diana goes with them as Justin stand with Kira. "She has learned my lesson well, Kira". Justin said to Kira. Kira nods to Justin. "It will not be long that her saxophone will glow to her". Kira said to Justin.
At the park, the teens are in ranger form as they confront the DJ monster again. The monster looks at them. "Rangers, you are back, especially you yellow ranger". The DJ monster said to them. Diana looks at the monster. "I am not alone this time". Diana said to the DJ monster as they fight begins again.
As the fight goes on, the DJ monster looks at the team of rangers. "No, I am suppose to win by eliminate the one who is alone". The DJ monster said to them.
Diana looks at the monster. "Actually, I am not going to fight against a monster alone. Plus Corey is the conductor of the team and playing jazz music is a team effort". Diana said to the DJ monster as her musical saber is glowing.
Diana looks at her musical saber as she powers it up. "Jazz Swing Slash", Diana said as she sends a yellow slash like beam at the DJ monster. The beam is a lively jazz song with a strong sound from a saxophone. It hits the monster directly as the DJ monster is destroyed.
Diana has a proud look on her face. "Song complete, Music Force Power Rangers", Diana said to them. The teens nod as they head back to DT Wave.
Back at DT Wave, Justin and Kira sees the teens returning in civilian form. Justin sees the saxophone zord glowing as it floated over to her. "Floating crystals is one thing, but seeing floating instruments is another thing". Justin said to Kira.
The teens see the yellow saxophone floating to Diana as it lands in here hands. Laura looks at them. "You know those instruments glow and float over to you when you learn a deep lesson about being a ranger. So far, it has happened to Matthew, Wally, Diana, and me. It will not be long that it will happen to Bobby, Corey, Julianne, and Vivian". Laura said to them.
Matthew nods in agreement. "I do believe Laura is correct. There must be something special about the instruments itself that we have not realized yet". Matthew said to them.
Kira nods to them. "It is something to discover and figure out rangers". Kira said to them. Justin looks at them. "I do believe in all of you. Plus the closer you get with your teammates, the stronger the teamwork it will become. Plus I have install a special program where you can send silent alerts in case of a non ranger emergency. It will be installed in your morphors as well". Justin said to them.
The teens nod as it is a special feature. Kira looks at them. "You all should head home and get some rest, especially you Diana". Kira said to them. The teens nod in agreement as they leave DT Wave heading home.
As the teens head out from the shop, a man as he is across the street. He notices the red and yellow clad teens walking together in particular. 'Who is that boy wearing red? It should be my son wearing red like the red ranger does'. The man thought to himself as he takes off.
