Chapter 14: Finding Your Strength and Courage: Kaitlyn and Rafael
Back at Mesadogloria's ship, Zhoan is looking at the various monsters that they have on the ship. He notices one monster in particular as it is a dangerous monster. He has an evil grin on his face as he releases this monster. "I want you to attack and destroy them". Zhoan said to the monster.
The monster nods as it is walking out from its cell. "It will be my personal pleasure". The monster said to Zhoan as it leaves the ship.
At Angel Grove University, Rafael is heading towards his car as he could not help but notice a couple of guys bothering someone. As he got a closer look, the person being bothered by the two guys is Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn is between two guys as she is being hit on. "Come on pretty girl, why you won't go out with my friend here"? The guy asks Kaitlyn. The other guy nods as he is putting the flirting on her. "Yeah I am a good looking guy, and girls likes my charm".
Kaitlyn gives a look to them. "I am not interested in dating a womanizing neanderthal. So I am going to say no and not a chance in a million years". Kaitlyn said to the guy. As she turns away from them, the guy grabs her wrist. "Come on, I can show you a great time". The guy said to Kaitlyn.
Rafael frowns as he rushes over to them. "Hey leave her alone. When she says no, she means it". Rafael said to them.
The guys frown as a new comer comes to intervene. "This is not of your concern". The guy said to Rafael. "Yeah this is between us and her". The second guy said to Rafael.
Rafael frowns as he glares at them. "Her name is Kaitlyn, and your ears must be filled with so much ear wax that you did not hear her saying no". Rafael said to them.
The guys frown as they glare at Rafael. "You will regret saying that". The first guy said to Rafael as he punches him in the face. "Yeah, I can get any girl I like including her". The second guy said to Rafael as he also punches him to the face.
CJ frowns as he sees what's going on. "Hey that's enough, I suggest you two scram before a cop comes". CJ said to them.
The guys see CJ as they realize that he is very serious. "We will be back". The guys said as they talk off.
Rafael sighs as he has a bloody nose and a black eye. Kaitlyn sighs as she looks at him. "Are you alright"? Kaitlyn asks Rafael.
Rafael nods to Kaitlyn. "Yeah I had to intervene and how long they have been bothering you"? Rafael asks Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn looks at them as she has not told her teammates about something. "It started last week. He asked me out on a date, and I said no. He kept on persistent on it, and finally that other guy came with him to confront me about it". Kaitlyn said to them.
Rafael shakes his head to Kaitlyn. "Some guys really don't know when to take a hint". Rafael said to Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn nods as she, Rafael, and CJ teleport to the command center.
At the Command Center, the teens notice them arriving. As they spot the black eye and bloody nose on Rafael, Ingrid sighs as she looks at him. "Rafael are you alright"? Maya asks Rafael.
Rafael nods as he is given an ice pack and some tissues. "I was standing up for Kaitlyn when these two guys were harassing her to go out on a date with one of the guys". Rafael said to them.
Evan frowns as he looks at them. "I thought college students has more maturity than that". Evan said to them.
Ren looks at Evan as he smirks to him. "Well some of them has not there yet". Ren said to them.
Ian turns to Kaitlyn as there is two sides to every story. "Why didn't you accept it. You know a date from the guy". Ian asks Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn frowns as CJ is glaring at Ian. She is not ready to tell them her secret. "Maybe I don't like guys as a gender, Ian". Kaitlyn said to Ian as she slaps him in the face as she takes off.
Sylvie frowns as she was not expecting that. "Was that needed"? Sylvie asks Ian. Aria nods in agreement as she and Sylvie went off to find Kaitlyn.
Ian looks at them like he is missing something. "Is something that I said"? Ian asks them.
Ingrid shakes her head to Ian. "You should not tell her to accept a date from a guy when she already said no". Ingrid said to Ian.
Dr. Oliver nods in agreement as he looks at Ian. "Perhaps she has something that she is not ready to tell you guys just yet". Dr. Oliver said to Ian.
Ian looks at them as he has to apologize to Kaitlyn. "I will go apologize but you look like the kind of guy that does not like conflict very much". Ian said to Rafael.
Rafael sighs as he looks at Ian. The teens look at Rafael as it is his turn to talk. "It is true that I don't like conflict. It just I grew up around conflict at home. When I was a kid my dad was abusive towards my mom and he basically hit her. I tried to stop him, but it did not turn out so well. My mom packed her things and took me with her to move in with my grandparents. I have not seen my dad since I was eight. I have always wanted to ask my dad why he did those things to my mom and me, but I never found the courage to do it". Rafael said to them.
The teens nod as they are supportive of Rafael. Maya looks at Rafael as she shakes her head. "Courage is doing something without any hesitation, Rafael. Plus a lot of time has gone by since then. Maybe he has changed". Maya said to Rafael.
Ingrid nods as she looks at Maya. "Maya is correct Rafael. One of my teammates was told about her abusive biological father when she was a ranger, but he died at the hands of a psychotic gun man by sacrificing himself to save her. It maybe that he has changed". Ingrid said to Rafael. The teens nod as they are wondering about Kaitlyn.
At the beach, Kaitlyn sighs as she sits down on the sand. She normally likes being at the center of attention, but this is one of those times that she does not like it.
"Kaitlyn, it is only me and Sylvie". Aria said to Kaitlyn. Sylvie nods to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn looks at them as she lets them sit. "Hey", Kaitlyn said to them.
"Is there something you have not told us yet"? Sylvie asks Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn looks at them as she nods to them. "The truth is I have not found the strength or courage to tell my parents this. I am a lesbian". Kaitlyn said to Aria and Sylvie.
Aria and Sylvie are surprised by it as they look at Kaitlyn. "I am glad that you came out to us. I will never tell anyone or judge you. It is a part of who you are". Sylvie said to Kaitlyn.
Aria nods as she smiles to Kaitlyn. "The world and the times are changing as well. I have coming to a great respect for them. Plus I know someone who is a part of it. I am not going to turn my back on you. Plus when you are ready to tell the others, they will be supportive as well. Plus if your parents won't support you, you can always count on the others". Aria said to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn smiles to Aria and Sylvie. "Thanks, that means a lot coming from the both of you". Kaitlyn said to them.
All the sudden, they get an alert on their morphors. "Kaitlyn, there is an attack at the park". Maya said to Kaitlyn.
"We are on our way", Kaitlyn said to Maya. Aria and Sylvie nod to Kaitlyn as they teleport to the park.
At the park, the teens see the monster on a rampage. Kaitlyn, Aria, and Sylvie arrive at the scene. "Alright, lets do this", Maya said to them. They nod as they grab their morphs out.
"Star Legends Lets Come Together", the teens said as they morph into ranger form.
The monster glares at them as it is starting to attack them. "You all be destroyed". The monster said as it is coming at them.
As the battle gets started, the rangers see that the monster is one of the tougher monsters that they have faced thus far. Maya frowns as she looks at her teammates. "We better be careful. Who knows what this thing is capable of". Maya said to them.
Evan nods to Maya as the others look at each other as this monster is a savage beast. "Right", Evan said to Maya.
The monster roars at them as it pounds at them. No matter what the rangers did to the monster, the monster is impervious to their attacks. It even has more power when it got hit by the ranger's attacks.
"Ok is there something that we are missing because we need an idea like five seconds ago". Ian said to them. He tries to use his energy absorb from the monster but it is too much for him.
The monster kicks Ian as he is demorphs back to civilian form. Maya frowns as she glares at the monster. She uses her magic in it, but it is useless against it. "My power is not working on it either". Maya said to them.
The monster slashes at Maya as she goes to the ground hard as she demorphs. Rafael and Kaitlyn look at each other as they have to figure something out. "Rafael, we got to think of something. I mean that thing is like an oversized bully". Kaitlyn said to Rafael.
It suddenly hits Rafael as he turns to Kaitlyn. "You are right Kaitlyn. It is like a bully". Rafael said to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn nods as she turns to Rafael. She sees that the monster is about to head towards Evan as he is trying to use his power in the monster. "Rafael, we have to act fast with our strength and courage to face it". Kaitlyn said to Rafael.
Rafael nods to Kaitlyn as the two of them feel a message from Princess Liberty. 'Strength and Courage always go hand and hand like the two of you in battle'. Princess Liberty said to them telepathically.
As the monster is heading towards Evan as it prepares to slash at him relentlessly, CJ spots the monster coming at him. "Evan look out". CJ said to Evan.
As Evan turns the monster, Kaitlyn and Rafael got to Evan in time as they block the monster from him. "Step away from our friend". Kaitlyn said to the monster. "There is always more of us standing up to monsters and bullies like you". Rafael said to the monster.
As the two of them pushes the monster back, the monster rolls to the ground. It is roaring at them yet again.
"It is our strength that will defeat monsters". Kaitlyn said to the monster.
"It is our courage to make that stand". Rafael said to the monster.
"Star Legends Staff", Kaitlyn said as she powers up her staff.
"Staff Legends Sword", Rafael said as he powers up his sword.
As the monster is charging at them again, Rafael and Kaitlyn nod as they dodge it at the last second and slash at the monster in unison. As the two are in position, the monster is standing there as it is getting quiet.
The rangers are looking at each other as a few seconds goes by. The monster is sparking in electricity as it explodes to dust.
The teens sigh in relief as they help Up Ian and Maya. "I thought you two were hit for a second there". Evan said to them. "Yeah it is like one of those scenes in a action samurai movie where the hero faces off against the villain one last time. It looks like the hero has been defeated, but it is the villain that has fallen". Ren said to them. The teens nod as they teleport back to the Command Center.
Back at the Command Center, Kaitlyn looks at them as she has encouragement from Aria and Sylvie. "Hey guys, I do have something I want to tell you. In some ways, this is like a warm up to tell my parents. I am actually a lesbian, and I hope you guys won't turn on me". Kaitlyn said to them.
The teens look at each other. "We do accept you for who you are Kaitlyn, and nothing is going to change that". Maya said to Kaitlyn. "Absolutely, we are a part of this wild and crazy ranger family". Evan said to Kaitlyn.
Ian nods as he has to introduce her to his dad and his partner. "My dad and his partner are lovers, so I know what it is like to have someone a part of that lifestyle. You got another support in me". Ian said to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn nods as she looks at them. "Thanks guys". Kaitlyn said to them as she feels better about things.
Back in Angel Grove University, Kaitlyn is heading towards her dorm. "Hey pretty lady, I thought you have forgotten about me". The guy said to Kaitlyn. The other guy nods as he does want to see his friend hooking up with a blonde headed guy.
Kaitlyn looks at them as she spots Maya. "Actually, my girlfriend is waiting for me". Kaitlyn said to them. She emphasizes the word girlfriend to them.
The guys look at her as they watch Kaitlyn walking by towards Maya. They are confused by it. As they watch the two kiss, the guys are shocked by it as they have been defeated in a different way. They run away from the scene.
"I appreciate you doing this for me, Maya". Kaitlyn said to Maya.
Maya nods to Kaitlyn as she looks at her. "No problem, I have never kissed a girl before now, and it is a different experience". Maya said to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn nods as she wonders how close she is ready to tell her parents the truth about her sexuality.
