I do not own the song or Power rangers okay?
Adam and Jason were sparring and the rest were watching.
Well Rocky had only just arrived and Ember was sitting on the window sill trying to figure out her summer homework.
Music homework…ugh; her teacher was pretty awesome and the work was most of the time pretty easy but really good stuff but right now she just couldn't get an idea for the five verses or more song she'd asked on guitar or piano she'd asked for.
"Having fun?" A voice asked her and Rocky said down.
"Not really. I can't seem to get it right."
"Show me what you've got so far."
"You sure?"
"Yep."
"Okay so it's like this."
She picked up the guitar and was strumming on it.
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
"….You see I can't seem to get it. Right there I get stomped."
"I think that's really good." He told her.
"Really?" She asked him.
"Yeah. Now I know why you've a scholarship." He promised her. "How about you close the books, and come get a drink at the juice bar. I'll pay."
She nodded, "That might be nice."
She followed him up to the table. "Ernie I need a juice, extra beats." Rocky stated.
"Okay!"
"And can I a strawberry milkshake please?"
"Coming up." They sat down and Rocky sighed.
"You okay man?"
"Oh hey Billy."
"Hi Billy." Ember said opening her notebook again and scribbling in a few more lines.
"Didn't I tell you put that away?"
"Whatever." She told him then looked at Billy. "What are you doing here?"
"I had to get out of the Power Chamber at some point. Started to feel like I lived there."
They nodded.
"I thought you did." Rocky chuckles.
"Anyway Jason's supposed to be teaching me something…"
Ernie dropped down their drinks before Billy left.
"So been talking to Adam?" Rocky asked.
"Not really he spends most of his time between Tommy and Tanya."
"Are you jealous…?"
"No….I mean…is it that obvious?"
"No. I'm just good at reading lovesick faces!" He teased half-heartedly.
"Remind me to delete Zayden's number from your phone."
"Where is my good South African buddy?"
"He's in New York being mentored on how to run backstage on Broadway."
"Really?"
"Yeah. VJ's taking a special course in collage funded by Microsoft, Dexter's at LAU playing basketball…he comes to Whitetail every once in a while and Finn's travelling the world."
"So you're alone?"
"Well…I've got a few friends but not anyone close no. I've been kind of lonely really." She stated.
He nodded.
"Hey Rocky! Ember…" Bulk and Skull said coming over to them.
"Touch me and I'll break your arm." She growled.
"OH! I'm so scared! Jason's looking uh pretty good over there….seems it's kind of getting a little crowded in here…"
"Look at those pecks!"
"Not it off guys!" Rocky grumbled.
"What's the problem?"
Thankfully their attention was then diverted to their 'new client.'
"Idiots." She mumbled and he chuckled.
"Any ideas?" He asked pointing to her notebook.
"A few."
Their communicators went off and they left.
"Zordon?" Tommy asked.
"King Mondo has been spotted just outside Angel Grove. However he has erected a force-field to prevent you teleporting to him."
"Alright….we'll take the Zeo Cycles and ride up there…."
"I don't have one." Ember said almost sorry.
"You can go with me." Adam told her and she nodded smiling.
"Oh wait where's Jason?"
"I saw Bulk and Skull stop him. I suppose you want to wait for him right?"
"No…not this time." Tommy stated. "But Billy we'll uh meet you back at the Power Chamber."
The male nodded and ran off.
"It's Morphin' Time!"
"Zeo Ranger One Pink!"
"Zeo Ranger Two Yellow."
"Zeo Ranger Three Blue."
"Zeo Ranger Four Green."
"Zeo Ranger Five Red."
"Silver Ranger Power!"
The Zeo rangers drove down the dusty road one by one.
Then some of the robots started to shoot at them. "Come on we've got to head for cover." Tommy stated and they urged the bikes to go faster.
"Not so fast rangers! My dad can't be disturbed just yet!" Sproket announced getting in their way.
They shot at them again knocking them all off their cycles.
"Everyone okay?"
"Yeah. I think so…"
The new foot soldiers for the Machine Empire the Cogs attacked them.
"Rocky keep them busy. I'll look for Mondo!"
"You got it!"
The remaining rangers defeated the Cogs.
"Every body alright?"
"We better find Tommy."
"Look there he is!"
They ran toward their new red ranger.
"Tommy what happened?"
"Mondo dug up a sword and it seemed to give him extra powers. We better get back to the Power Chamber."
The rangers teleported in and removed their helmets.
"Good work Rocky…" Tommy told him.
"Thanks but uh…"
"Hey Billy. Any luck identifying Mondo's weapon?" Tommy asked him interrupting Rocky.
"The Damocles sword." Billy said.
"The sword is an extremely powerful but unstable weapon…."
"Sounds like me in the morning…." Ember mumbled.
"If used incorrectly it could cause as much harm as King Mondo as it does to those who fight him." Zordon told the rangers.
"He must be really desperate." Tanya stated.
"We got to contact Jason." Kat said.
"Ai yiyi! I've been trying to but he doesn't seem to be wearing his communicator!"
"Alpha log onto his communicator and teleport it here that might lead us to Jason."
They did but there was no Jason attached to it and ink on the bracelet.
"I wonder what happened to him."
"Well whatever happened we have to find him." Tommy stated. "Let's spilt up."
Tanya latched onto Adam which made Ember scowl as Kat went with Tommy so headed off with Rocky.
"Now I've got to search the countryside for the guy who's replacing me!"
"Yeah well Tanya seems to be replacing me." Ember told him shrugging.
"That's not true?"
"Really because I've spent more time with you then I have Adam."
"That doesn't mean he doesn't like you. It just means Tanya's getting there quicker."
"Oh ha-ha…wait do you hear that?"
They spied from behind a bush King Mondo, his wife and Sprocket.
Mondo grew to Megazord size. "Not good. We better call the others. But then…this is my chance to prove myself…" Rocky began.
Ember raised an eyebrow…I could stop him and call the others anyway or I could see how this plays out for a little while…
Let's go with option B. this could help show the others that I'm not just the youngest kid on the team…
New team; same issues. Why did she always have to be the youngest?
"It's Morphin' Time! Zeo Ranger Three Blue!"
"Silver Ranger Power!"
The two of them ran up in front of the royal family.
"Two mere Power Rangers this will be a piece of cake!" Mondo announced.
"Super Zeo Zord Power! Now!"
"Dominus Wolf Zeo Zord Now!" Ember shouted and the two zords came bounding over the hills.
"Alright. Time to show you what we're made of!"
The two zords went at it with Mondo who slashed at them with his sword and just well…kicked their asses forcing them to retreat.
They arrived back at the Power Chamber.
"With each passing moment King Mondo grows stronger. It is unfortunate that you were unable to stop him."
"This is our fault…we've destroyed Angel Grove." Rocky stated and she nodded agreeing with him.
"If we hadn't gone after him alone….he'd never have gone to the city."
The other rangers teleported in. "Rocky, Ember what happened?"
"We…uh…tried to take on Mondo alone. I'm afraid we're responsible for this."
"Why did you do that?" Jason asked and the two looked down.
"Look Rocky, Ember it's alright. Right now we've got to concentrate on stopping Mondo."
"But how he's far more powerful then the other monsters…"
"Katherine's right. In order to defeat King Mondo in his present state you will need to bring the super Zeo Zords together to form the Super Zeo Megazord."
"But we've never done that before." Adam said.
"There's a first time for everything." Ember stated.
"But Zordon we've got a problem with the Megazord formation it still needs one more part." Billy told him.
"What part?" Kat asked.
"It's a power booster from one of the old Zords. I dismantled some of the pieces and sent it to the Angel Grove junkyard for recycling. But the part we need was teleported by accident."
"We'll get that. Why don't you guys deal with Mondo? Ember you in?"
She nodded. "Yeah. Two of us we'll be able to work faster."
"Here use this sensor it'll help you locate it." Billy stated handing it to Jason.
"Alright let's go guys….It's Morphin Time!"
The other rangers morphed seemingly quicker then usual.
"Gold Ranger Power!" Jason announced.
"Silver Ranger Power!"
They teleported out of the Power Chamber.
"Aw man this is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Jason said.
"You're telling me…."
"Wait I think I've got something here….it must be behind this…." Jason said and lifted the object off the thing.
"There it is I hope it still works."
And then they got blasted at.
"Oh great."
"Cogs! What we don't need right now. Billy quick we're being attacked by Cogs. The power boost is directly behind us teleport it out of here."
Jason admitted it. Damn kid was impressive.
He did have doubts about Ember but shit the kid was fast.
"Okay those were tougher then usual." She stated when they were done.
"I'm glad it's over."
"Me too."
~LATER AT THE YOUTH CENTRE~
"I'm finished!" Ember grinned throwing down her pencil. She'd had a stroke of genius during the fight and now the song with finished.
"I'm glad. I didn't want you wrecking your head over it." Adam told her.
Her cheeks burned slightly and he blushed not as deeply as he used to but noticeable to Rocky his oldest friend.
Jason sat down next to Rocky and in front of Ember.
"Hey Jason…look I'm…." Ember poked him. "Okay we're sorry. We don't know what we were thinking trying to take on Mondo just the two of us."
"We're really sorry about that." Ember told him.
"Hey look man you should know that I'm your friend…I'm just glad I'm on your team. And Ember…" He turned to look at the Silver Ranger.
"We're partners now. It's supposed to be the two of us and from what I've seen today I don't need to worry I've got a hell of a partner watching my back just like I'll watch yours."
She smiled and nodded.
"Well I guess you can't save the world alone." Rocky said.
"That's right!" Tanya said and the others agreed.
"I mean together we've accomplished something I never thought we would."
"That's right! King Mondo is gone!"
"Yeah we really have won haven't we?" Adam stated wrapping his arm around the waist of Ember.
Jason who didn't know the entire details of his partner's relations with the green ranger raised an eyebrow and chuckled to himself.
"Yeah! Let's all get a juice!" Rocky said standing up. "The new guys buying!" He said pointing at Ember.
"What about her?" He asked fake outraged pointing at Ember.
"I watch your back you…uh….buy me milkshakes!" She told him grinning and they all followed Rocky.
Adam placed a kiss on her cheek and she paused to look up at him.
"It's good to have you back." He placed a gentle kiss on her lips and her hands were barely around his neck when Rocky would throw a bunched up paper at them. "Get your hands off each other! No one wants to see that!"
They broke apart and laughed to themselves him slipping his hand into hers and they caught up to their friends sitting around their regular table at the juice laughing.
For now the fighting had ceased.
Hehe I'll see you guys tomorrow!
Ha! Bye bye!
