Chapter Nine: Off To The Jungle
Note: Three more chapters of talking then off to Phaedos. I also want you to know this will be my longest story. I wanted it to take place after "The New Breed" but stupid me went off and had Max get Destany pregnant. Hell of a surprise to get from losing your virginity huh. Anyway that is why the timeline for the story is screwed. I got my daughter pregnant. LOL. Well Max did. But Read "The New Breed" or "The New Breed: Rated M" and see for yourself.
2:32 Saturday
In a small area off Stone Canyon where only a few houses were built Rocky and Aisha DeSantos lived in a yellow house with blue trim and a red door.
Destany, Miranda, and Max soon landed a few blocks away from the house. They loved the weather and decided it would be a
fine day for a walk. "I can never get over how gorgeous this part of town is." Miranda said as her hair was blowing in the wind. She
was still in her uniform and on call but at this point she didn't care. The sun was out, it was around seventy-eight degrees, the wind
was blowing; it reminded her of simpler times. "I don't think I would mind living on earth one day." Destany said as she took Max's
hand and laid her head on his arm happily. "Well as long as we stay away from Ohio and make it some place warm." Max tried to
deal. "Like Reefside?" Destany said curiously looking up at Max. "I was thinking more along the lines of Angel Grove." Max said
causing Destany to get a smile on her face. Miranda was a few feet ahead of the happy couple as she saw Stone Canyon as a
second home. She was happy there, free if you will.
Before they knew it they were at the street they needed to be at. It was paved, about two miles long, sidewalks, and forests on
both sides, birds were singing. Just a happy place. "Miranda, maybe you love this place because it reminds you of where you were
born." Max said. Miranda just stopped and raised her head. She was in deep thought; she was trying to remember the beautiful
view of the Neola Jungle from the ruins on the plateau her mother called home. Fro the life of her she tried, she tried and failed. She
remembered nothing of the gorgeous planet she once called home. After a few seconds of thinking Miranda finally broke and
started to cry. Destany broke her grip on Max's hand and ran to her best friend in a hug right as she began to fall to her knees.
Destany had never seen Miranda this upset. "I can't remember D. I don't remember the jungle, I don't remember her voice, I…I
only remember that damn shrine at the academy!" Miranda cried. Max didn't know his comment would bring this much negative
emotion to Miranda. She had always taken Phaedos in good nature before. "Going back must really be taxing on her" He thought.
Destany however was at a complete loss. She had no idea how to help her sister. She only sat there in one spot rubbing circles on
her back to try to relieve the tension, to comfort her. Finally Max spoke up. "Maybe your dad can help." Max said in a promising
voice. "How?" Destany queried. "When our parents first met. It was in 2004 when he and your granddad had to send the Zeo
Rangers back to 1998. They came forward in time. He was so drunk." He said with a chuckle. "Max!" Destany yelled at him.
"Sorry. Anyway he had to suppress their memories or erase them. He chose to suppress them." Max said with a slight bit of
excitement. "So." Miranda said starting to get irritated. Max knew he better make this good and fast. "If he suppressed their
memories, maybe he can pull out yours." Miranda got a slight smile and glimmer of hope. Destany could feel her begin to relax.
"That shows my baby thinks like his mommy." Destany said with an almost evil/naughty look. "First off we are not ready for that,
second we are busy, third…baby we would be doing it in the middle of the street." Max said causing Miranda to stifle a laugh at the
vision of her best friends bumpin' uglies in the middle of the street. She was like Destany's sister so she had seen her topless.
However seeing Max pantless was a rather intriguing thought she wouldn't want to see something that Destany hadn't had yet.
"Now your thinking like your dad." Destany said dejectedly. "Best of both worlds." Max retorted. The three started walking a few
more minutes before arriving at a house that read "Welcome To The Jungle and was being held up by an ape on the left side and a
bear standing on it's hind legs on the right.
Phaedos same moment
Dulcea and Ninjor were on the plateau meditating when Dulcea's eyes began to water. She then got up quickly in front of Ninjor
and shook him. He woke confused and looking at a panicked Dulcea. "Dulcea what is wrong?" The blue clad ninja asked.
"Miranda, she is hurt." Dulcea said panicked. "I'm sure the doctors on earth can help her." Ninjor stated. "No, she…she…"
Dulcea could barely say it. The link between Ninjetti and their offspring was strong. Even though she had never felt so much hurt
coming from her daughter. "She doesn't remember me Ninjor!" Dulcea shouted. She resembled a helpless child more at this point
than a Ninjetti Warrior at this point. He took his friends shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "I shall get Titan and go to her. We
will help her remember." His words helped calm the troubled mother within her. The helplessness was still there but the comfort
Ninjor brought her was irreplaceable right now. Ninjor let go of Dulcea's shoulders and stood up. In a flash of blue light he was
gone. "Hold on Miranda. I'm sending the best I know."
Note: One chapter left before the meeting at SPD between Syd, Tommy, Kim, Jen, and Sky. Then Phaedos and god knows the torture will begin on them all.
