Chapter 9: Visiting Leo's Grave
(Scene switch: Maya's Home Village/Kendrix' POV)
Myself and Maya reached the Village. I had my Quasar Sabre in my hand and I was going to place it back in the stone. Jera appeared out of his hut and noticed I had the Quasar Sabre.
"Oh thank the Divines! I thought the Sabre was stolen!" He said worryingly. I handed him my Sabre,
"What made you think I would steal such a weapon?",
"I don't know. I heard of your problems and I almost thought…" Jera paused for a moment, "You would use it to… hurt people." I crossed my arms and my temper started to build,
"Now why would you think, that I'd hurt innocent people!" I yelled. My temper activated my Wildcat Quasar Sabre, which controls Nature and summoned a strong wind, knocking Jera off his feet and dropping my Sabre. The male villagers grabbed their spears and others helped hm up. I approached Jera to apologise but the villagers pointed their weapons at me. Maya stepped in to defend me,
"It's OK! She didn't mean any harm! She suffered a lot right now." She turned to Jera, "And Jera, she didn't mean to yell at you.",
"I'm really sorry Jera. It's just… I have a lot on my mind. You mind if I visit my friend's grave?" Jera stood up, brushed the dirt off him and nodded,
"Of course you can. Villagers, lower your weapons. Kendrix didn't mean to hurt me. I apologise about my wordings Kendrix. You're still feeling a bit… vulnerable." I wordlessly passed him, picked up my sabre and headed to the stone.
I reached the stone where the other four majestic Quasar Sabres were standing. One slot was empty. That was for my Wildcat Quasar Sabre. I placed it back. I then turned to Leo's Sabre. I ran my hand across the hilt.
"Oh Leo, even though you came to visit me last night, I still miss you dearly." I sobbed. I felt a tear slide down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. "I just wish you were here. I love you Leo. I swear, I would rather be with you, dead or alive than be married to another man." A soft breeze then blew behind me. I noticed Leo's Sabre glow.
«Don't worry Kendrix. I'll always be here.» The last lines touched my heart. They were the exact same words I said, when I died saving Cassie. Poor girl, she probably blames herself still, plus I haven't told her I was alive. I'll get to that soon. Right now, it's time for me to move on. I can't cling to the past or should I?
Next Time:
"Go Galactic!" I commanded, raising my Quasar Sabre in the downpour rain…
"See you later Ranger. Trakeena has plans for Earth." Laughed the demon and he and a bunch of ghouls escaped through the Worm-hole…
"Galaxy Rangers! No way!" Carter said in disbelief…
"What's your pal's problem over there?" Asked Dana, "Why is she so distant?" The Galaxy Rangers looked at each awkwardly as they knew, she was on about their Pink Galaxy Ranger Kendrix…
"Pink Ranger please! Stop hurting people! Rangers are supposed to be good, not mean!" Six year old Heather cried, clutching my arm, but it's too late, I now seek to avenge Leo's death. I will make Trakeena suffer and die a very painful death.
"I don't care about anyone, once I have Trakeena's head on a plate." I said coldly…
"We have to stop her before Kendrix does anything rash! Or even hurt innocent people!" Dana exclaimed…
"TRAKEENA!" I yelled and the monster before me turned. I gripped my sabre, "You. Will. Die.",
"Bring it on ranger. You'll meet the same fate as your lover!" She laughed evilly…
"Come on Kendrix! Let go, you're becoming just as bad as the original Magna Defender!" Mike shouted, whose now the Red Galaxy Ranger. I looked away,
«Am I really just as bad as the real Magna Defender?» I remembered the times he told us how bad he wanted to avenge his son's death, not caring about the innocent before him. I'm doing the exact same thing, avenging the one I love, that was taken from me and I don't care I take the lives of the innocent, like the way I nearly hurt that family with their kids. If it wasn't for Mike and Carter who jumped in front of my Beta Bow blast then I would've injured them, let alone kill them.
Am I becoming monster myself?…
