Chapter 12: Selfless Acts of the Past, Liz
That night, Rory and Melissa are at the cave as Ryder, Luke, Monty, Carter, Artemis, Brandon, Quentin, Tess, Kelsea, and Lina are getting together. "Rory, what's going on? Your call sounded very urgent". Ryder said to Rory.
Rory looks at them as he shakes his head. "I never thought this day would come. Plus I thought it would be a very long time that he would come back. It seems that Xolicernic is back". Rory said to them.
The Star Descendants Rangers are shocked by it as they look at Rory. "Xolicernic, the same guy who kidnapped Tess, you, and Wes five years ago". Luke said to Rory as he is getting very angry about the news.
Tess looks at her half brother. She nods as she is just as angry. "I am just as angry like you are Luke. Hell when Wes told me that news I had told them to come here". Tess said to Luke.
Ryder frowns as he looks at them. "Calm down guys, I am angry about this like the rest of you. If and when Xolicernic shows up, the teens will have be prepared to face him. That includes Ash's team and Wes's team as well. Plus they need to know who he truly is. That message got sent to the Rangers, it is something that Xolicernic did and got out from his playbook". Ryder said to them.
Cyrus looks at the veterans as he nods to him. "Ryder is correct rangers. Plus I sensed that he is this being that helped the reawakening of Zophicles. There is not much time when Ozford, Tylark, Phoenixous, and I will explain to them about Jarisida". Cyrus said to the veteran rangers.
The veterans nod as they look at each other as they realize if Xolicernic does something to both teams, they need to act. "Rory, have you or Melissa meet or talked with the Heroes of Legends mentor yet"? Brandon asks Rory and Melissa.
Rory sighs as he looks at Brandon. "Not yet, Wes told me that his mom walked in him and saw the scars. She is actually the mentor of the Legends of Heroes team. It is a plan to meet and talk with her. I don't know how she is going to react to what happened five years ago". Rory said to them.
Carter looks at Rory as he is angry about it. "You really should do it soon. She has a right to know about the monster". Carter said to Rory.
Rory nods as he looks at Carter. "I know she does Carter. I have to be prepared for her having a lot of questions and probably yelling at me". Rory said to them.
Artemis shakes her head to Rory. "I don't think she will yell at you, Rory. You, Wes, and Tess were the victims by that monster. She probably will ask for every single detail of that event". Artemis said to Rory.
Rory nods as he looks at Artemis. "Those details from actually being brought to the Tower to the escape attempt to the actual process to the rescue is something that can't be rushed". Rory said to Artemis.
Melissa looks at Kelsea as the white veteran ranger has come to a dangerous realization. "What's wrong Kelsea? You look like you have figured it out". Melissa said to Kelsea.
Kelsea looks at Melissa as she nods to her. "It made me wonder why Walter couldn't seal that monster into the book in that battle years ago. That monster must have split himself before that battle took place". Kelsea said to them.
The veterans are shocked by this as they look at Kelsea. "It would definitely make a lot of sense. That monster was losing control on his human being self. It is that human being side that wanted to stay dead. That monster split himself into three. Ryder reversed the evil from the human being side and allowed it to turn to dust. We as a team defeated that second split. The second split told us that he will back, and it is that third split that has made its presence known with that message". Lina said to them.
Quentin nods as he looks at them. "It makes a lot of sense guys. Plus we have to explain it to the Heroes of Legends as well". Quentin said to them.
The veterans nod as they look at each other. Rory nods as he looks at them. "I will probably will go to Middleton in the next few days. They need to hear it from me. The veterans nod as this meeting has drawn to a close.
At the Lewis residence, Liz is in her room as she is thinking about the latest battles. However the one thing is still up in her mind is what Harry and Ash said about being adopted and having the scars with a TS#. She looks at her arm as it has the TS#8193 on her arm. She sighs as she can empathize with Wes and the others. "Who could have done this to us? To treat us like lab rats". Liz said to herself. She grabs a yellow teddy bear that she had as long she could remember.
Liz went down stairs as her mother just got off the phone with her husband. She is holding the yellow teddy bear. "Hey mom", Liz said to her mother named Grace.
Grace turns to Liz as she notices the teddy bear. "Hey honey, what is your mind"? Grace asks Liz.
Liz looks at her mom as she has questions about the scar and the teddy bear. "How did you and dad adopt me? Plus do you remember put this scar on me? Who gave me this teddy bear"? Liz asks Grace.
Grace sighs as she looks at Liz. She looks at the TS#8193 on Liz's arm. "You are one of eight babies that this monster kept captive along with other people including a seven year old girl. From what we were told about him, he did things that we never thought it would be possible. He did get arrested for it and stand trial. He got the guilty verdict. A lot of people wanted him to be put to death because of the number of crimes he did commit on doing including murder. He got the guilty verdict and sentenced to 2000 years in prison. However five years ago, that man some how escaped from prison. There was a nation wide man hunt for him and still going on to this day. When we adopted you, we fell in love with you. It was love at first sight. That teddy bear was given to you by the very same 7 year old that was held captive by this man. I have forgotten her name but she was very sweet to give you and the other babies a teddy bear". Grace said to Liz.
Liz nods as she notices Grace as grabs a photo album. She went back to set with Liz. "There is a photo I want you to see". Grace said to Liz.
As Grace flips the pages of it, she sighs as it is mostly news paper clippings about the arrest of a psychotic doctor and the trial. The last page has a group of parents holding the babies. It also features a seven year old girl. "This picture was taken on the Grand Adoption Day". Grace said to Liz.
Liz is very surprised by it as she sees herself as a baby along with the others. "Each of the babies were holding a teddy bear and the other parent is holding a framed of the adoption papers. "Oh wow, that is me". Liz said to Grace.
Grace nods as she looks at Liz. "Yes we got called the Selfless Eight. We found it in our hearts to adopt the babies". Grace said to Liz.
Liz nods as she notices a baby boy in one family and a baby girl in a different couple. The two babies are holding hands. "Hey mom, what's the story with those two babies. It is like they didn't want to let go". Liz asks Grace.
Grace looks at the photo closer. "Those two were fussy like they did not want to separate. From what I remember, the two of them are twins. That couple adopted the boy and that couple adopted the girl". Grace said to Liz.
Liz nods as she looks at Grace. "They adopted the twins and separated them from each other". Liz said to Grace. She feels bad for the twins.
Grace nods as she looks at Liz. "Yes I hope that they will learn the truth some day". Grace said to Liz.
Liz looks at the photo again. The babies that are holding hands are wearing a red and pink onesie respectively. 'Could that be Ash and Kara'? If they are, do they know that they are twins. If they don't know that they are, why they are not told of this'? Liz thought to herself as she is taking the news in.
As Liz is going for bed for the night, she is still thinking about what her mom told her. She turns to the window as all the sudden a fairy does appear to her. She looks very beautiful and majestic like Aiden describes her to be. "Are you"? Liz asks the fairy. She is very surprised by the fairy.
The fairy nods as she looks at Liz. "That's right Elizabeth, I am Jarisida". Jarisida said to Liz. She has that calm expression on her face.
Liz is in awe of the fairy that just appeared to her. "How is that you are here"? Plus I go by Liz". Liz said to Jarisida.
Jarisida nods to Liz as she looks at the yellow ranger. "I can only appear physically to my chosen two and you at this time. The parents in the photo you saw is the selfless acts of love that they adopted the right of you. However the hidden truth about the two babies must be revealed on its own never rushed. Plus I have come to tell you that enemy that Jacktrel spoken about will be planning a vindictive plot and target one of the Rangers. I do not know which ranger it is but this ranger has a unique power that the ranger is not aware of yet. Once the ranger has shown it for the first time, all of you must be by her side and protect the ranger from the villain that Jacktrel spoken of". Jarisida said to Liz.
Liz looks at Jarisida as she is confused by it. She sees the fairy vanishing from her. She is even more stumped and confused by it. 'Who is the ranger that has the power'? Liz thought to herself as she drifts off to sleep.
Back at the Castle, Xolicernic has completed another time window using the technology that he has in this time. As he looks at the past, he notices that this group of rangers has a new ranger hanging out with the others. "Well, this is very interesting. They have a new ranger". Xolicernic said to himself. As he gets a closer look at this ranger, she is hanging with AV. He has an evil plan forming as he looks at her. "Well, this just got very interesting". Xolicernic said to himself. He gathers some Rampigs as he sets his new time window and heads back to the past to kidnap another ranger.
End Chapter
I decided to have a the Liz focus chapter a filler chapter. She learns that all the parents that adopted the babies are very selfless to do. What is Xolicernic's new plan? More importantly why Jarisida can only physically appear to Liz as well as the two chosen ones of Jarisida?
