Power Rangers Cyber Force
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS, PERIOD.
Chapter 9 Sins of the Brother Part 2
At the headquarters, the rangers are in somber mood as one of their own was captured. Daniel frowns as he notice that Zeke is missing but another ranger is with them. "Rangers what happened? Plus who are you"? Daniel asks them.
Maggie nods as she looks at her father. "Zeke got captured dad. Plus he was there as the battle got started. I had no idea that he is actually a pink ranger from a different team". Maggie said to Daniel.
Jasper nods as he is slightly intimidated by Daniel. "Yes sir, my name is Jasper Sanderson, Treasure Warrior Pink Ranger. It is hard to explain why I am sent here to help". Jasper said to Daniel.
Jade frowns as she give a look to Jasper. "Ok how can you make it easy to explain it to us? Last time we checked, we didn't send out an emergency call to other teams to help us". Jade said to Jasper.
The rangers give Jade a look as it is not cool. "You definitely have a sharp tongue. I am sent by the spirit named Jesse to guide two of you about forgiveness". Jasper said to them.
The rangers look at Jasper as they don't quite by that. "Umm sorry pal, we don't know who this Jesse guy is". Justin said to Jasper.
Daniel frowns as he gives them a look. "Perhaps I can explain it". A woman said to them as she walks forward to them.
Maggie looks at the woman as she knows who it is. "Aunt Mel", Maggie said to the woman named Mel.
Mel nods as she looks at them. "My name is Mel Oliver. I was the Neo Defender Navy Ranger. Jesse was a special being who meant a lot to the Elemental Saint rangers over 175 years ago. He was the Elemental Saint Warrior of Life. He must have chosen you to come here am I right". Mel said to Jasper.
Jasper nods as he looks at Mel as he turns to the team. "That's correct, I found Zeke earlier and he was in the gutter dumps in more ways than one. We talked and I deeply listened to him. I get the feeling that not all of you truly listened to discover what's really wrong. Am I right"? Jasper asks them as he looks at Sofia the most.
Sofia is caught off guard as she looks like she is being called out on it. "Why are you looking at me like that"? Sofia asks Jasper.
The teens frown as they give her a look. "Admit it Sofia, you have been so hard on your brother. You even made him cry in front of us". Bly said to Sofia.
"Yeah you have been trying to play the innocent card all day, but you are not so innocent". Zara said to Sofia.
"We all tried of you talking about a prank that happened years ago. Zeke does feel bad about it and moved on from it". Justin said to Sofia.
Sofia looks at them as she is wondering what's going on. She has tears in her eyes as everything is happening so fast. "I just don't understand why he pushed me out of the way in the battle and said those things before he vanished". Sofia said to them as she takes off running out of the headquarters.
Everyone is stunned as they sigh to themselves. "That went brilliantly great". Casey said to them as she has a sarcastic tone in her voice.
Maggie looks at them as she wants to go after her. "I will talk to her". Maggie said to them.
Daniel shakes his head to Maggie. "Actually let Jasper go find her. I got a feeling that he knows what to say. Kwan you go with him". Daniel said to them.
Jasper and Kwan nod as they look at each other. "Alright", Kwan said to Daniel as they both leave the headquarters. The teens look at each other as they hope that Jasper and Kwan will get to Sofia. The rest of the teens went to the med bay to recover.
Back at the evil headquarters, Zeke is coming around as he finds himself in a strange laboratory. He frowns as he is restrained to a machine as he sees another officer of some sort with Boaratix. "What's going on here"? Zeke asks them as he is trying to get himself free.
"Moving should be pointless by now ranger. I am Zilentia". Zilentia said to Zeke. She has an evil grin on her face.
Zeke frowns as he glares at them. "Why should I listen to you ugly hag"? Zeke asks Zilentia.
Zilentia laughs at Zeke as General Boaratix gives him a look. "All of the negative cyber energy that your precious sister has felt about you will be inflicted on you". Zilentia said to Zeke.
Boaratix nods as she gives him a look. "That's right, it is a wonder how much pain she have been in over the years and now you two are on the same team". Boaratix said to Zeke.
Zeke frowns as he realizes that they must have found out how much pain that Sofia must have been through over the years. "You fiends". Zeke yells at them.
Zilentia and Boaratix laughs at Zeke as they are ready do it. "Now you will be turned to cyber stone". Zilentia said to Zeke as she presses the button.
The machine powers up as Zeke notices a monitor in front of him. He is being shown the images from what happened back then including what happened later on after the prank. Zeke frowns as he is feeling the negative cyber magic energy on him. "Sofia", Zeke said to himself as he is feeling the power getting stronger on him. He is trying to resist from screaming as he is feeling it effecting him.
The machine's power increases as it is effecting Zeke greatly. Zeke's body is starting to turn to cyber stone. He is in a lot of pain as he can't resist it for much longer. 'Sofia, I am sorry for what I have done. I have forgiven myself for what I have done. I wish you will let me accepting it. I want you to fully move on from it. I love you dearly little sister'. Zeke telepathically said to himself as he is screaming in deep pain.
Boaratix nods as she succeeds in seeing him screaming. "Perfect, not so tough guy now huh blue ranger". Boaratix said to Zeke. Zeke is fully turned to stone as his body looks completely lifeless.
The machine is shut off as Zilentia has a smug smirk on her face. "It is completely done General Boaratix". Zilentia said to Boaratix.
Boaratix nods as a couple of Digibots removes the statue of Zeke. "Good, it is time to surprise the rangers". Boaratix said to Zilentia as she has Slitherson with her as well. They leave the lab and the headquarters for battle.
Meanwhile in town, Sofia finds herself at a cemetery as she collapsed to her knees and crying. She is at a headstone of a particular grave. "Why, why he did that for me? I thought he would let me get hit by that monster and captured as well. But no that didn't happen at all. He pushed me out of the way and gotten captured. Why do I feel that my heart is breaking for someone who has caused great harm to me? She is crying and upset.
"It is because he has greatly changed for the better. You are the fool for not seeing it and truly believing it until you saw it for yourself". Jasper said to Sofia.
Sofia hears Jasper's voice as she got up. She wipes the tears from her eyes. "What? What did you say"? Sofia asks Jasper as she doesn't believe it.
Jasper shakes his head to Sofia. "He has changed over the years Sofia, and yet you are not giving him the chance to prove to you". Jasper said to Sofia.
Sofia frowns as she doesn't believe him. "Zeke is the same kind of guy that he has always been, pranking people and making people think that they are safe from being pranked when they are not. Sure he saved Kwan's life and risking his own life. What I don't understand is why he sacrificed himself for me? He should have let me got hit and captured". Sofia said to them.
Jasper shakes his head as she is being kind of difficult to get through. "It is because he does think and care about you more than you didn't know. Right now, you are still refusing to see it when it is right in front of you". Jasper said to Sofia as he is getting mad at her.
Sofia is perplexed as she gives Jasper a look. "What are you talking about"? Sofia asks Jasper.
Jasper sighs as he looks at Sofia. "Various people can influence others to do things like doing bad pranks. With a change of influence from others, it makes a new path to follow. Zeke followed a new path other the years to the present. The change of influences came from two people that you didn't met until now and couldn't met at all". Jasper said to Sofia
Sofia is confused by the cryptic message. "Wait a minute, you are talking about Kwan, but who is the other person"? Sofia asks Jasper not knowing who's grave she is at.
Kwan rolls his chair over to Sofia. "Her name was Alessia. She was kind hearted like you are. However she was tougher than she looks especially considering that she was a cancer survivor. There was a prank pulled on her by those former friends of Zeke's. It was that very prank that ended his friendship with them for good". Kwan said to Sofia.
Sofia is in shock by the news of a prank pulled on her. However didn't really ask about her specifically. "What did they do"? Sofia asks Kwan.
Kwan nods as he looks at Sofia. "They removed her hair piece that is actually a wig to cover her very short hair. They waves it in front of everyone like it was actually a toupee. It turns out that she was a cancer survivor. It really made Zeke mad that he punched that leader in the face and she even punched them as well". Kwan said to Sofia.
Sofia is stunned that Zeke defended her from his former friends. She had no idea that he punched them in the face and Alessia also did the same thing. "I had no idea". Sofia said to Kwan as she really didn't know that about Zeke.
Kwan nods as he looks at Sofia. "Yeah Alessia meant a lot to Zeke. The two were inseparable like they have that magical kind of true love between them. He still misses her to this day. He told her about you and how he want to make things right for you. Heck, that prank still haunts him to this day, and he does regret doing it to you. In fact, he backed out doing pranks on people with his former in middle school because of then horrible reaction you had when you were six years old. On the day that I first saw Zeke, I told him that he and his friends are cold blooded and heartless people to prank someone with special needs. I was the first to get Zeke on the right path. When you still haven't given him the chance to prove that he is a better person not only it hurts him, it hurts me and Alessia as well". Kwan said to Sofia as he is furious with her.
Sofia is stunned as she had no idea that Kwan was the first guy to get Zeke to change. She realizes all the emotions that Zeke was showing was actually true and not a fake act to get her guard down. She has tears in her eyes as she is starting to cry again. "I had no idea how much you changed him. I always thought that he will never change because the prank that he was involved with. I thought Coach Walker made mistakes with him on the team and being a second in command. I thought that he made your life miserable and pretending that he saved your life. I never realized that he does care about me. What have I done"? Sofia said to them as she is crying to them.
Jasper nods as Kwan got through to her. "It is time that you forgive him. He has forgiven himself for it. However you are not letting him to forget what he has done. Do you know what needs to be done?
Sofia nods as she looks at them. "Yeah I do, it is time that I get Zeke, my brother, the blue ranger, and the true second in command back". Sofia said to them.
Maggie and the others nod as they show up. "Good we need you Sofia. Plus Zeke also needs you as well". Maggie said to Sofia.
Coach Walker nods in agreement as he wants to be involved in the battle. "I saw that Zeke will be a great ranger. It is time that you saw it as well". Coach Walker said to Sofia.
"Yeah Zeke is really cool and it is high time that you saw things from his perspective". Casey said to Sofia.
"It is time to forgive and forget about stuff in the past". Bly said to Sofia. He has a stern expression on his face.
Zara nods as she looks at Sofia. "A little of sibling rivalry is good, but this sibling estrangement has gone long enough". Zara said to Sofia.
"Ditto that", Jade said to Sofia. She has that stern expression as well.
Justin nods as he looks at Sofia. "It is time that you do something special for him as well". Justin said to Sofia.
Sofia nods as she looks at them. "All of you are right. I have been too stubborn to see how much Zeke has truly changed. I didn't want to believe it at first. However now, I have truly believed it. It is time that I have truly forgiven him and let him forgive himself". Sofia said to them. She is starting to feel stronger with more positive cyber magic.
"Very well said Sofia, you finally understand what Zeke has been trying to tell you". A mysterious male voice said to Sofia telepathically.
The teens nod as they look at Sofia. They hear their morphors going off with an alert. "Rangers, Slitherson and General Boaratix is back at the warehouse district. Be careful". Silver Tech said to them.
"We are on our way. Let's move with the Cyber Magic". Maggie said to Silver Tech. Daniel nods as he wants to fight as well.
"Aye Aye Cyber Captain", Jasper said to Maggie. Maggie nods as she looks at Jasper. The team including Daniel teleports away to the warehouse district.
At another warehouse, the Rangers frown as the building Zeke is in right in front of them. They look down at a window as they see that Zeke is in a stone like state. "Maggie, it looks like they have a trap ready for us". Daniel said to Maggie.
Maggie nods as she thinks about it. "We need to lure them out to make them fall for the trap instead". Maggie said to Daniel.
It is not long that the teens has rock on their hands. Maggie nods as they ready to throw them. As they throw them on the glass window, the glass shatters on them. They quickly hide as they get into position.
In the building, General Boaratix frowns as the glass on the roof falls to the floor. "WHAT, Digibots go check it out now and bring those who did it to me". General Boaratix yells at the Digibots. The digibots nod as they quickly leave the warehouse to find what ever it is.
"What's going on"? Slitherson asks Boaratix as it hisses at her.
"It seems that someone is here". Boaratix said to Slitherson. She is trying to stay on guard.
As more glass is being shattered as they hit the floor, Boaratix and Slitherson frowns like something else is doing this. "SHOW YOUR SELF RIGHT NOW". Boaratix said out there.
"I just did". Sofia yells back at General Boaratix and Slitherson. She appears to be by herself. However the others are close by.
General Boaratix frowns as Slitherson is stunned that the rangers got in so easily. "HOW DARE YOU GET IN HERE WITHOUT ANY DETECTION? BESIDES YOU ARE BY YOURSELF AND LONESOME". General Boaratix yells at them.
Sofia frowns as she glares at Boaratix. "How dare you mess with my brother and you will pay for that lady". Sofia said to General Boaratix.
General Boaratix laughs at Sofia as she gives her a look. "You and what army chicken cry baby"? General Boaratix asks Sofia as she is using the name that kids called Sofia.
Sofia doesn't seem to be fazed by it. "Me and this army", Sofia said to General Boaratix and Slitherson as the others shows up.
General Boaratix and Slitherson are stunned that the others are here and ready to fight. "WHAT", Slitherson said to them.
"I didn't know that rangers let mentors join in the fight". General Boaratix said to them.
Daniel frowns as he glares at General Boaratix. "This is one of the special times that I get in the fight". Daniel said to General Boaratix.
"Cyber Force Transform", Maggie and her team yells out loud as they morph into ranger form.
"Treasure Warriors Seek the Power", Jasper yells out loud as he morphs into ranger form.
"Neo Defenders Execute the Power", Daniel yells out loud as he morphs into his ranger form. Maggie and Jasper are stunned as he sees their mentor morph as well.
General Boaratix frowns as she sent the digibots away to find it only to realize that the rangers must have got them to leave. "Slitherson attack and destroy them now". General Boaratix yells at Slitherson.
Slitherson nods as it charges in at the rangers. "Yes Boaratix", Slitherson said to General Boaratix as he hisses at them.
Maggie nods as she has a plan. "Let's do this guys and stick to the plan". Maggie said to them.
The battle begins again as in General Boaratix is facing off against Daniel while the rangers are fighting Slitherson. Kwan, Jasper, and Sofia are getting towards the stone statue of Zeke. Sofia is holding his morphor as she went up to him. She is holding back the tears as she looks at Zeke. "Oh Zeke, I am so sorry that this happened to you. I never let you fully explain what happened in your life that got you to change your ways. I am normally good at reading people's emotions. However ever since I saw you in the team and being around me, I had a hard time reading your true emotions. All of it was because I only saw the mean sides of you and not fully see the good in you. I never knew how much you moved on from that incident. I never knew that it was Kwan and Alessia that influenced you more than I thought it did. I never knew that you have truly forgiven yourself for the prank. I just never let you prove that to me. I understand why you sacrifice yourself earlier for me. I love you Zekie and I forgiven you for everything that happened". Sofia said to the statue of Zeke. Her tears touch his morphor as it is glowing a bright blue color.
Jasper is feeling the true forgiveness from the both rangers as his special ability activates. He is glowing in a bright pink color as he touches the stone statue. "He hears you Sofia. You may touch him". Jasper said to Sofia.
Sofia nods as she is glowing in a bright gold cyber magic. She hugs Zeke as he looks up into his eyes.
The stone statue is starting to crack as Zeke is healed. He is looks at Sofia as he is hugging her. "It is ok Sof. I forgiven you as well". Zeke said to Sofia.
General Boaratix frowns as she sees what's really going on. "WHAT THE BLUE
RANGER IS FREED? THAT SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE". General Boaratix yells at them.
Daniel frowns as he goes into wizard form. "No, the word impossible is not in the rangers vocabulary. Garnet Griffin let's rise up", Daniel yells out loud.
The rangers are stunned as they see the wizard form and a spirit of a Griffin rising up. "Woah your dad is something else". Casey said to Maggie.
Maggie nods as she has no idea about it. "Yeah", Maggie said to them. She has a mind to ask him later.
General Boaratix gets hit directly by the griffin and a strong wizard power. She gets up as she glares at them. "This isn't over rangers especially you mentor". General Boaratix yells at them as she teleport back to their headquarters.
Slitherson frowns as it is by itself still. "What, you left me here". Slitherson yells at General Boaratix.
"It is payback time you ugly snake". Zeke yells at Slitherson as he is ready to fight.
Slitherson turns as he sees the blue unmorphed ranger head towards it. "Blue ranger how did you get freed"? Slitherson asks Zeke.
Zeke gives the cyber monster a glaring look. "Sofia freed me. You messed with the wrong little sister, and that lady is not coming back for you. Cyber Force Transform". Zeke yells out loud as he is in ranger form.
Maggie nods as she sees that Zeke is back. "Zeke you earned it". Maggie said to Zeke.
Zeke nods as he looks at Sofia. "Thanks Maggie, Sofia lets finish this together like true brother and sister on the same team". Zeke said to Sofia.
Sofia looks at Zeke as she nods to him. "You got it". Sofia said to Zeke.
The rangers watch Zeke and Sofia charge in together as they are fighting back together. Slitherson frowns as it tries to land a blow on them with its tail. It misses them time and time again.
Sofia throws her spear at Slitherson's tail. "Power of the Cyber Guardian Pink Fire". Sofia yells out loud. It makes its mark on it.
Slitherson hisses as it made its mark. "NO MY TAIL, DON'T YOU REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT MY TAIL IS". Slitherson yells at them.
Zeke frowns as he is glowing in a bright blue color. "Don't care slime face, Power ofnthe Cyber Guardian Blue Fire". Zeke yells at out as he uses his nunchucks to chop the tail off of Slitherson.
"NOOOO", Slitherson yells out loud as he gets destroyed into cyber dust.
The Rangers nod as they won the battle and they got Zeke back. "You guys did it". Maggie said to them.
Casey nods as she looks at them. "Yeah it is pretty cool of you that you let Sofia joined you on it". Casey said to them.
Zeke nods as he looks at them. "Thanks guys, it was time that Sofia and I truly work together on the same team". Zeke said to them.
Sofia nods as she looks at them. "Yeah it is time that I start seeing Zekie as a true big brother again". Sofia said to Zeke.
The teens look at Zeke as he is blushing in embarrassment again. "What have I told you about calling me in front of people Sof"? Zeke asks Sofia.
Sofia gives a look at Zeke as she sighs to him. "What it has been a long time since I called you that. Admit it, it fits at a moment right". Sofia said to Zeke.
Zeke sighs as he looks at Sofia. "I suppose that's true but I will allow this just once". Zeke said to Sofia.
Sofia nods as she looks at them. "What ever you say Zekie". Sofia said to Zeke as he sighs to her. She looks at Jasper. "I have to thank you Jasper. I didn't realize what I have done until you shown me that. I needed to realize that Zeke has truly moved on from that incident". Sofia said to Jasper.
Zeke nods in agreement as he looks at Jasper. "Thanks Jasper", Zeke said to Jasper.
Jasper nods as he looks at them. "Your welcome Sofia and Zeke, my special mission is complete. I have to get back to my team. I can't let my captain V down". Jasper said to them as he teleports away.
The rangers look at each other as they have more questions. "Who is Captain V"? Jade asks them.
Bly shrugs as he looks at them. "I have no idea". Bly said to them. Zara and Justin nod as they want to know the same thing.
Daniel frowns as he remembered to ask Jasper something. "I guess we will find out in due time rangers". Daniel said to them. Maggie nods as she looks at her father. 'Why do I get the feeling that dad wanted to ask him something'? Maggie thought to herself as they teleport back to the headquarters.
That evening, Zeke is at Olivia's house as he is holding his daughter. Sofia is in awe of the baby girl in his arms. Kwan looks at them as it is not long that Sarah and Travis is here. "Zeke is that a baby"? Sarah asks Zeke.
Olivia turns as she looks at Sarah. "You should let Zeke explain Ms. Campbell. Plus the person he is holding is someone you will want to meet and get to know". Olivia said to Sarah.
Travis nods as he smiles to Zeke. "Please Sarah, this is what I was trying to tell you earlier before that monster attack". Travis said to Sarah.
Sarah sighs as she looks at Zeke. "Alright, I am listening". Sarah said to Zeke. She has no idea how much she is in for it.
Zeke nods as he looks at Sarah. "This is Sofia Alessia Myers, my daughter. You probably think that she seduce me. The truth was that Alessia is her mother. It all started on the first day of school in the seventh grade. That's when I meet Alessia. She was very kind and beautiful. She even had a tough side in her that I loved. Although I had no idea how tough she really was. She wasn't a bully by any means. She, Kwan and I were together in school. Alessia became more than a friend. However one day in eighth grade, my former friends pulled off a prank on her. They removed her wig hair piece and daggling it in front of everyone saying it was the principal's toupee. I defended Alessia and punched them in the face. What really shocked me is what Alessia said to them. She said that it wasn't a toupee to cover a bald spot. It was there because her own hair was regrowing after she defeated cancer. She was a cancer survivor, and she punched them in the face. That's when I told them that pranking a cancer survivor was going too far and ended the so called life long friendship with them. Both Alessia and I both got into trouble for punching them. However we only served a day worth of detention. The teachers were in awe that I defended a cancer survivor. During spring break, Alessia told me her fears about her cancer coming back and miss out all the things that adults did in bed. I looked at her and we both decided to do it in secret. Her dad was a huge jerk towards her mom and her. He didn't really liked me at all despite how much I defended her. Just before our freshman year of high school, her dad left them and they got a divorce. It turned out that he had a secret second family. Alessia and I walked to school together and we became boyfriend and girlfriend this went on until Christmas break. However by the time spring semester got started, Alessia stopped showing up to school. This went on until February. I was deeply worried about her that I tried to keep my grades up. One day, Olivia came to the house. She explained what happened over Christmas break. The divorce took longer to finalize than she thought however he made Alessia not to tell me that she was pregnant and due to bring the baby into the world soon. I had no idea that she was pregnant. As I came to the hospital, I watched my daughter being born in front of me. Her dad didn't like that I was there. Dad got him to leave because he never liked how he treated his own ex wife and daughter. That man said that he wanted nothing to do with his own grand daughter and other harsh stuff. Alessia and I were talking and decided to name her Sofia after you sis. However Alessia's health turned for the worse after the baby was born. It turned out that Alessia's cancer came back more aggressively than before. Alessia didn't want her baby to die due to the medicine. Her dad argued that he wanted his own daughter to live and not the baby. Her mom fight for Alessia and what she wanted. It took him to give full custody of Alessia to Olivia to make it happen. It turned out that Alessia is terminal and didn't have long to live. I refused to leave Alessia's side through it all. Olivia and dad were talking that we had a love story that needed to complete. Alessia and I were married as well. It was a deeply intimate moment and Kwan was there as well. I was a married man for about a week. Alessia passed away in her sleep. After Alessia passed, it was for the best that Olivia took care of baby Sofia and I came over during the weekends. Olivia moved back to Baylorville with the baby. Alessia's dad had a major heart attack and passed away about a day after Alessia". Zeke said to them.
Sarah is in awe as she realizes that Zeke cut off his former friends two years before. "I understand why you wanted to tell me face to face. I am sorry that you lost your wife that way. I never knew that it happened sooner than I thought it did. I hope you can forgive me". Sarah said to Zeke.
Zeke nods as he looks at Sarah. "Apology accepted mom, do you want to hold your granddaughter"? Zeke asks Sarah.
Sarah nods as she looks at Zeke. "Of course, I don't want another grandchild until you graduated from college and a full time job. That goes for you as well Sofia and Kwan". Sarah said to Zeke, Kwan, and Sofia.
Everyone nods as they are having a happy moment. "That goes double from me as well". Travis said to them. Sofia is holding her niece for the first time as she is seeing the better light of the blue ranger.
