"May all students report to the gym at this time" The principal, Mr. Metrix, said over the PA system. Zayna looked up from her mythology book and frowned.
"What's going on" she asked her fellow classmate, ranger, and friend Calleigh.
"We have a nature trip today, remember" Calleigh said.
"Nature trip?" Zayna inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah they're like field trips except we got to the forest out back" Calleigh explained.
"The Grove" she asked.
"Ye-oh crap" Calleigh said as she realized where they were going. Zayna just nodded, looking worried as they stopped at her locker. She quickly shoved her stuff in there and met up with Malia, Liam, and James along the way.
"You know we're going to the Grove right" Zayna asked them.
"Yeah Z don't worry" James said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone and quickly messaging Duša about their slight problem.
"Why not?" she said.
"Because he just messaged her" Liam said as they stopped at Calleigh's locker and met up with David, Timothy, Stephen, and Aaron at the gym. Once the rangers were seated with their respective classes, the principal spoke.
"Good morning students. We have a great opportunity to go on a nature walk to our lovely forest just behind the school. Freshman with the last names starting with A-M go and stand over in that top left corner, last name N-S stand just to the left of them, T-Z just to the right. Sophomores do the same except for you go to the bottom left, Juniors top right and Seniors bottoms right" Mr. Metrix said. The students jumped down and got into their respective groups.
"Okay so now that you're in your groups go with the teacher there and go outside" he said opening the gym doors and allowing the students to pour out.
T-Z Juniors
"Jay I'm worried though. What if we accidentally stumble upon the grove" Zayna said to James.
"Z if we get close Duša will let us know and we can detour our group" James said, squeezing the pink ranger's shoulder.
"I guess" Zayna said, smiling slightly at the black ranger.
"No lagging" the teacher, Mr. Armsin, said clapping his hands and glaring at the two rangers.
"Sorry sir" James said, grabbing Zayna's hand and speeding up his walk.
N-S Juniors
Malia looked around and spoke quietly to Liam, "Hey we should keep our eyes and ears open in case we get close to the grove". Liam looked up quizzically and said, "How would we know?".
"I think the animals would let us know Liam" Malia said. Liam nodded and grinned, "ell I can't really complain about this hiking since I get to be with such a beautiful girl" he said wagging his eyebrows at her.
"Dream on boy, dream on" she replied.
N-S Seniors
"Tim, I think we should keep an eye out for the grove" David suggested.
"Why" Tim challenged.
"Because. If our identities our blown that's it for us" David said.
"Well your can keep an eye out yourself. I don't listen to leaders" Timothy said, speeding up his walk. David sighed and texted the others Keep your eyes our 4 the grove. we don't want our ids to be blow due 2 some nature walk. k. He quickly sent the message through the chip Aaron had given them the other day and waited for their response.
A-M Seniors
Calleigh sighed as her phone vibrated. The message was from David and it said Keep your eyes our 4 the grove. we don't want our ids to be blow due 2 some nature walk. k. She looked around quickly see if anyone was watch and then texted back K David. Alls good over here 4 now. Calleigh smiled and started walking faster to catch up with the rest of her group.
A-M Sophomores
Stephen sighed and drummed his fingers on the tree stump. The teacher who babbling on about the purpose of the leaves on the trees and how they could be a different color. Suddenly, a noise broke his boredom and he pulled out his iPhone to see he had a message form the red ranger. After reading the message he smiled slightly and texted back k and started paying more attention.
N-S Sophomores
Aaron looked around and frowned. He and his class had been walking around for a hour and were just about lost.
"Sasha are we lost" he asked one of his fellow classmates.
"Uh. I think we are..." she replied chewing on her lip.
"Thanks" He replied as his iPhone went off. He pulled it out and read the message and then texted back the same as Stephen before looking for a way to get unlost...
N-S Juniors
"Okay we gotta keep and eye out for the grove" Zayna said in an undertone to James.
"I know Z and we will" he said, grabbing her hand and walking hand in hand with her. Just then her phone went off again and Zayna grabbed it and read the message, it was from Duša and it read Guys you are getting too close to the Grove. Call your animal spirits to distract them.
"Jay we are getting too close. E gotta tell the others. You text, I'll call the wolves" Zayna said after reading the message. James nodded and pulled out his cellphone as Zayna let out a low howl. The wolves responded with a howl that all the students heard.
"What. Was. That" one of the students asked fearfully.
"I-I don't know" Mr. Armsin said, his chin quivering.
"Relax guys it was just a wolf" Zayna said calmy.
"Wolves?" he asked. Zayna nodded and said, "Don't worry they're harmless".
"Harmless" the first student asked.
"Yes Mandy. Harmless" Zayna said sighing.
"Good. It would be bad for the school if a student got eaten" Mr. Armsin as a growl was heard from the forest.
N-S Juniors
"Liam did you just get a text from James" Malia asked the silver ranger.
"The one about callin our spirits" Liam asked. Malia nodded.
"Yeah I got it. e gotta call the snow leopard" he said. Malia nodded again and they both let out a raspy cough. A moment later, there was a raspy cough in return that they recognized as a snow leopard's. Liam shot Malia a grin as he let out another raspy cough, which was returned loudly.
"Did you hear that" Malia asked the teacher.
"Hear what?" the teacher asked as Liam repeated what he did and the snow leopard responded.
"That" she replied.
"The cough?"
"Yeah."
"What is it?"
"I think it may have been an animal" Liam said, faking fear in his voice.
"An animal?" the teacher replied.
"Yeah" Liam said as Malia nodded. Just then, a snow leopard slunk out of the forest.
N-S Seniors
David pulled out his cellphone and quickly read what James had texted him.
"Tim we gotta call the lion and eagle if we wish to keep our identities a secret." he said to the gold ranger.
"Fine" Tim grumbled, letting out an eagle call as David let out a roar. Both eagle and lion returned the calls and caused the other students to look up.
"What was that" The school mean girl, Sarah, said with a look of disgust.
"Animals" David replied.
"Animals" Sarah replied with another look of disgust.
"Yes animals. Like the kind that live outside" David said as the two animals slunk out.
Lunch time
The rest of the day until lunch was interesting, after all the rangers summoned their animals, the animals chased the students out of the woods. Once lunch hit everyone was out picnicking.
"Hey David. Who's that" Zayna asked as the rangers met up, Stephen and David with two other girls with them. The girl with David was a short Mexican girl with long brown hair, and wore pants, a shirt, and a jacket. The one with Stephen was short with wavy chestnut hair and big green eyes, she had on clothes that flowed and wore a jacket.
"This is my girlfriend Ana" David said, wrapping an arm around the Mexican.
"And this is Lena" Stephen said, waving his hand at the short girl.
"Hi I'm Zayna" Zayna said.
"Hey" Ana said as Lena smiled. The rangers then sat down to eat lunch. While the rangers at lunch a monster spied on them eating away with their class. The monster was named Forester and was looking for the Grove and knew it was in this forest.
I'll bet they know where the Grove is at Forester thought, and fired a few shots at the group of teens.
"Ahhh" Some students shouted, causing the rangers to look up. They saw the monster jumping into the forest and disappearing.
"Lena go and hide" Stephen shouted, slightly shoving his girlfriend to safety.
"You to Ana" David commanded, running towards the forest.
"Why" Ana shouted not moving. David stopped and said, "Please just go with Lena to hide. You need to be safe". Ana nodded but looked suspiciously at her boyfriend as he and his friends ran into the forest.
In The Forest
The rangers halted to a stop as they looked around. There was no monster, and no movement in the forest.
"Where'd it go" Aaron shouted, looking around.
"I don't know" Liam said. A whoosh passed, causing the rangers to look around even more. Just then some Dummy Men appeared and they took fighting stances. The DM ran at them and the rangers defended themselves. Using carefully aimed punches, kicks, and elbows, the rangers manged to put off the DM as more and more appeared.
"MORPH" David shouted. The rangers backed up and flicked their wrists, they slid the statuette into it and cried out, "Ancient Animal Evolution", and with a flash of light they morphed.
"Better" Zayna said as the DM pressed in. As the rangers fought the DM, Forester looked on from his spot hidden in the trees. Once the Dummy Men were defeated, the rangers turned to go to the Grove when Forster appeared.
"Hello rangers. My name is Forester. Nice day isn't it" Forester said. The rangers looked at each other.
"Yeah but...You're a monster and you're going down" David said, pulling out the katana they all had. Forester laughed and jumped into a tree.
"Where'd he go" Stephen said as out of nowhere a blast hit them.
"Somewhere" Tim said, using his katana to help stand up. Just as they all got up and in defense another blast had hit them and they went down right away.
"We gotta find out where the monster is at" Zayna said, shaking off the pain and standing up.
"I'm right here" Forester said, jumping out and in front of her. She slashed at him but he dodged and jumped into the tree behind her, hitting her as he did.
"Wait" Aaron said, noticing something. Everyone looked at him like he was going insane.
"I think I know what to do...Lure him out here" Aaron commanded. The other nodded and James said, "Forester show yourself". Forester burst out of a tree and said, "Why". As he said it Aaron pulled out his Fang Blades and quickly attacked the monster's stomach.
"Ahh. You...you deactivated my camouflager" Forester cried, stumbling back and into a tree, but didn't camouflage into it.
"great job Sparky" Calleigh cried as they pulled out their weapons. Working as a team they used their weapons against the monster, first Zayna whipped the monster into James and Malia, who hit him with their spear and bo-staff. Then Stephen and Calleigh hit Forester with their scythe, trumpet, tomahawk, and crossbow. At the same time that Calleigh hit Forester with her crossbow, Liam hit him with his bow. As a finisher, David and Tim hit him with their swords at the same time. Forester let out a cry of pain and stumbled back, blowing up as the rangers cheered.
Later that day
Once the rangers returned, Ana approached David.
"Where were you. I was worried sick." she asked.
"I had something to do" David said, not meeting her eyes.
"And what was that" she said.
"I can't tell you...It's...private" David said.
"Why?" Ana asked, "Do you not trust me."
"No its not that...It's just something I have to do" David said, pulling her into his arms and kissing her. The other rangers watched as Calleigh thought They make a cute couple. Its so sweet to see a fellow ranger in love and as she thought this, she shot a look at Zayna and James, who were flirting.
