Logan woke up his eyes still closed his body felt stiff and battered. Almost like someone had used it as a punching bag. He tried to go back to sleep but the steady beep of a machine to his right.
Someone please shut that dame thing off he thought.
He sat up in bed holding his head with the feeling of a fabric on his bare chest and the sheets covering him dropped a little. He wobbled a little before he fell back like a stone onto the pillows. At the same time, he felt something shift on his wrist and in his nose, which he felt a steady breeze from.
He held his head in his hand ok what's going on I feel like I got run over by a truck and what is that on my wri- he thought then froze when he finally opened his eyes.
He saw a medical IV tapped and inserted into his hand and wrist and an air tube plugged into his nostrils. He heard the heart monitor race with his heart as he twisted left and right looking around the room. He was in what looked like a hospital room and a second later, a doctor and a several male nurses rushed in and tried to hold him still as he struggled.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" he yelled.
"Stop fighting kid or you'll hurt yourself!" one of the nurses said, and just then a man and a woman came in.
Logan looked at them and saw the man was a about the same height as him with short blond hair and dark eyes. The woman was a head shorter than he with shoulder length blond hair. They looked at Logan and held each other.
Logan struggled harder against the iron grip of the nurses and as the doctor injected something into the IV.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON! WHERE AM I? WHO THE HECK ARE YOU!" he yelled the last part looking at the couple.
The woman detached herself and walked over to take the place of the nurses. "Logan honey calm down your confused," she said, holding him close.
He looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "Lady why'd you just call me 'honey' and whom the heck are you. Heck how'd even know my name," he said, a little shocked and scared.
She pulled back slightly her eyes wide. "You don't know who I am?" she asked sounding scared.
He shook his head. "Never seen you before in my life," he said.
She stood straight in a snap and looked at the doctor who drew a small flashlight. "His memory must have been affected," he said, and shined it in Logan's eyes.
"MY MEMORY IS JUST FINE BUDDY I'VE NEVER SEEN THESE PEOPLE BEFOIRE IN MY LIFE," he yelled shoving the doctor's hand away.
The man stepped forward. "You don't remember anything slugger?" he asked.
Logan looked at him. "Look buddy as far as I know nobody in my entire life has ever called me that. I mean who do you think you are my father?" he said, still struggling.
The man looked at him. "That's exactly who I think I am young man," he said.
That is when Logan finally stopped moving all together and looked at him. "Come again," he said, and before he could stop them the nurses but his wrists into restraints.
The man looked at him and the woman stepped close. "We're your parents," he said.
Logan looked from one face to the next and he started to shake his head. "No I don't know who you are," he said, as he struggled against the restraints.
The woman shook his head, sat down on his bed, and looked at him as he continued to struggle. She laid a hand on him then she and the man left with the doctor and he continued to struggle against the restraints. He watched them for a second then realized that he couldn't hear them.
His eyes went wide what's going on… I don't even know who I am all I know is that this is not home And more to the point how did I even get here or where is here he thought then he laid back trying to remember how he got there.
After a moment, he growled in frustration, it's like a fog over my brain I can't remember how this happened… he thought then sat up as best he could.
He closed his eyes and shook his head heck they could really be my parents he thought and turned and saw the doctor and the couple gone.
He laid there for hours thinking over what had happened and trying to remember who and why did he just feel this was all wrong. After a while, he felt like he was being watched and he turned and looked at the window to the hall. Standing there was a tall man in a bathrobe looking at him and he placed his hand on the glass.
The next second two men in white uniforms came took him by his upper arms and took him away. As they moved out of Logan's sight, the man's eyes just kept watching him until he was out of sight. Logan frowned then laid back down his mind wondering.
After a few hours he just laid there in bed pondering trying to remember when a nurse came, pushing a wheel chair with equipment attached to it. After the restraints were removed, he was lifted out of the bed and placed in it and they wheeled him out of the room. His eyes darted left and to look into other rooms, doctors, and other nurses going about their business.
He was wheeled into a room with a padded table in it and he was laid out on it face down. After a second, he felt someone massage his muscles and he closed his eyes in pleasure of the massage. When the guy was finished, he cracked, open his eye and watched him then reached under the table grabbing his chart.
He raised his head and looked at it.
Name: Douglass, Logan
Age: 16
Next of Kin: Douglass, Mary: Mother
Douglass, Jack: Father
Diagnosis: Comatose, Head Trauma
Treatment: Massage therapy, Diagnostics, Physical therapy…
Logan read the entire chart as fast as he could and replaced it before the doctor came back in. He was soon back in the wheel chair and taken to the rest of his Physical Therapy and other treatments. When they were done for the day, he was wheeled to the cafeteria where the couple waited for him out of the corner of his eyes he saw the man in the robe staring at him.
He was wheeled between them and they looked at him smiling the Marry holding photo albums.
"How was your treatment honey?" she asked.
He looked at her then looked away. "The doctor said, it might help your memory if you looked at old family photos," she said, opening the top Album.
He looked at a photo of her in a hospital bed holding a baby in her arms and she pointed at it. "This was taken the day you were born six pounds eleven ounces…," she started.
For about an hour Logan's eyes went from photo to photo from his first birthday to his last Hockey game. While they talked, Logan could feel the eyes of the robed man on him the whole time.
After a blow-by-blow recount of his last game, Jack looked at him and frowned. "What's wrong son?" he asked.
Logan looked at him. "I can't remember any of it," he said.
Mary looked at him and smiled then placed her hand over his. "Don't worry honey it'll come back to you Dr. Orpheus said, it would," she said.
When his nurse came, she started to wheel him away and he held her hand. "Maybe it will… mom," he said, and the nurse took him away.
Once back in his room Logan was placed back in his bed and the restraints strapped his arms down. About an hour later, his nurse came in carrying a food tray along with the Jack and Mary.
Logan looked up and smiled at them as they pulled up a couple of chairs and he took note of the albums in their laps. Soon the TV was on and they started watching a game show laughing and shouting some answers at the contenders.
Laughing Marry picked up the remote. "Ok that's enough Trebeck for one day," she said, then started surfing through the channels
Logan looked at Jack. "Why am I here dad? What happened?"
The man looked at him and sighed. "You were hit by a car and for the last ten years you've been in a coma," he said.
Logan looked at him. "Quite a spell," he muttered and closed his eyes a smile on his face.
When the TV came on Logan closed his eyes then they shot open when he heard what sounded like a punch being thrown. He looked at the TV that was bolted into the wall. It showed high kicks being thrown by a pair of fighters dressed in black and white as they were screaming.
In an instant, the channel was changed to a talk show and Logan frowned looking at Marry out of the corner of his eye. They watched the show for a moment the Logan's head whipped around to look out the window into the hall when he heard a commotion.
The man from before was fighting his way down it with orderlies trying to subdue him. With one holding onto him, he burst into Logan's room heading for him as he struggled against the man.
"DON'T LISTEN TO THEM ITS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE JUST LISTEN!" he yelled grabbing Logan's hand when he reached him.
The man next to Logan leapt to his feet at this and tackled the man pinning him down. Logan watched as the other orderlies came in and led the man away and as they went out of Logan's sight, the doctor came in.
"Sorry about that he suffers from dilutions of grandeur and schizophrenia he's going to be transferred to another hospital today," he said, looking at the three of them.
The man nodded. "Thank you doctor at least he was captured before he could hurt us," he said, and the doctor nodded and left.
Mary smiled and looked at Logan then frowned. "Logan what's that in your hand?" she asked looking at the fisted hand that the robed man had touched.
Logan raised it to eye level then opened three of his fingers. He looked down as a small chain fell from his hand and a small oval shaped locket bounced a little. Logan raised his gaze over his hand looking at the door.
As he struggled against the men holding his arms, he felt his strength ebbing away. If he couldn't get free, he might lose Logan forever. Then suddenly behind him, he heard a snap and a crash and orderlies ran past him.
His head whipped around and he saw them dash into Logan's room then a second later two was thrown through the window the others were sent through the door which splintered under the force. With the leather, straps still dangling from his writs and still wearing the hospital robe Logan stepped out of the room and looked at him.
Logan started walking toward him. "Not bad for someone who's been in a coma for ten years and I don't even know how I just did all that," he said, jamming his thumb over his shoulder.
One of the orderlies let the man in the robe go and walked towards him. "Look kid your confused so let's just go back to your-," he started but stopped when he tried to grab Logan.
In response Logan drew his arm in a circled causing him to lose his grip and in a flash Logan's other hand was grasping him by the throat.
Logan looked at him lifted him clean off his feet and the orderly grasped Logan's arm. "Look buddy supposedly I just woke up from a ten year nap. And yet despite no use of them I'm walking on my own two legs and I am really not in the mood for more rest," Logan said.
Then threw the orderly who slid on the tiled floor about ten feet away and through the double doors at the end of the hall. The other orderly let the robed man go and charged Logan throwing a punch to his face. Logan easily blocked it then blocked another until the punches from the orderly were a blur and Logan turned to his side blocking the punches with one arm.
Then in a flash Logan after blocking a punch grabbed the guy by the wrist and twisted his arm back hard until the orderly screamed in pain and feel to one knee. The couple came out holding each other and Logan looked at them then back at the orderly. Using the joint lock as a persuasion Logan forced the man to his feet, which the man quickly obligated.
"You know what's funny they just told me I never did martial arts," Logan said, nodded in the couples direction then side kicked the orderly in the side.
The orderly was launched off his feet and joined the other orderly at the other end of the hall. Logan looked from the couple to the man in the bathrobe then back and forth again. After a moment of looking from one to the other, he walked over to look the robed man in the eye.
"Some things don't make since and I want answers and I want them to be the truth," he growled at him.
The man looked at him. "I expect nothing more or less old friend and I can give you the truth," he said, raising his hands.
Logan looked at him then started to raise his hands.
"Logan"
Logan turned and looked at Mary. "Don't indulge this man's crazy antics. You're sick and you need…," she sated then stopped at the look in Logan's eyes.
He looked away for a second then back at her. "I can't live a lie," he said, then turned back to the man.
Very slowly, he raised his arms and hands fingers spread slightly. Logan and the man looked at each other for a second before their fingertips touched. At once, as what felt like an electric current shoot into him his eyes closed with a snap.
The man in front of Logan began to dissolve into a vapor as he continued smiled at him until his face disappeared. When the man was completely a vapor he flowed into Logan who crossed his across his chest before bring them to his side and his body from the top of his neck down started to glow white. He breathed deeply, his ranger uniform appeared, and his eyes snapped open.
He looked at his morpher and rubbed his hand along the red Dragon Gem thank you old friend for being there when I needed you the most and when I didn't know it.
You and I are one but… sadly; you know what we have to do in order to escape The Red Dragon Spirit said.
Logan closed his eyes a small tear running down his cheek and turned around to look at the couple and they took a couple steps toward him.
"Logan," Mary muttered reach out to touch his chest.
He lightly grabbed her wrist before she could and placed it at her side. "I remember I remember everything," he said, and looked at them.
"My name is Logan No Name when I was born I was either given up or stolen from my birth parents. Narvock, creator and mentor of The Power Ranger Dragon Riders, raised me. I am The Red Dragon Ranger and I have a mission to complete," he said, then closed his eyes and concentrated.
The air around him shimmered and his hair land on end and weave left and right like it would in intense heat. He slowly opened his eyes, which were now a solid red in color, and the couple took a few steps back.
"I want you to know that if I ever find my real parents I hope that they're just like you, and I'm sorry," he said.
Then he closed his eyes tears evaporating arched his back his hands balled up into fists and shouted straight up and ignored everything as it burst into flame. Logan did his best to ignore the screams of the couple as they busts into flame but a small tear ran down his cheek. Then next thing he knew he felt his helmet around his face and that he was flat on his back with something pulsing on his chest.
His eyes opened with a snap and darted down to look at the straight rose bud with vines wrapped around him sticking out of his chest. His fists balled up and burst in to flame and as he reached up and wrenched it from his body, he herd the ground below him gave a small hiss. He slowly climbed to his feet as the plant in his hand burned black and the concrete under his feet hissed and steamed issued up.
Logan… The Red Dragon Sprit said, concerned feeling his anger.
Without a word, Logan streaked away towards his target and his revenge.
An ally in Angel Grove…
Tommy and Kimberly in their ranger armor hit the wall of the building hard that it cracked behind them. They slid down it clutching their chests and they looked up at the Dragon creatures walked towards tem the other rangers in various states around them struggling to stay morphed.
The smaller one chuckled slightly. "Why don't you just give up and all of you demorph so we'll take the one we want and leave the rest of you," it said.
Tommy slowly climbed to his feet. "We'll never give up one of our own and when The Red Dragon Ranger gets here he'll send you two packing like he did last time," he said.
The bigger one walked up to him. "The Red Dragon Ranger will not come we've seen to that," it said.
Tommy shook his head. "He'll come and pal two words Breath Mint," he said, waving his hand in front of his face.
The dragon creature bared his sharp pointed teeth then a half a second later with no sign why it was thrown back ten feet. It and the smaller one looked left and right and Kimberly stood next him.
"How…," she started.
"He's here," Tommy said.
Kimberly looked at him. "Who?" she asked.
Tommy pointed to the ground and she looked down and saw footprints glowing red-hot. There was a couple that made it look like some jumped up spinning before landing and darting out of sight.
A second later a ring of fire sprouted around the two Dragon things and they spun around back to back. A second later, they were launched into the air about fifty feet or more up between the buildings. Then their body parts twisted left and right like something unseen was hitting them hard repeatedly before they smashed into the ground.
They pushed themselves up as the flames around them died to almost half strength and they looked up. From nowhere The Red Dragon Ranger appeared his fists covered by flames.
Kimberly leaned close to Tommy. "I think he's mad," she muttered.
He leaned close to her. "Look at his feet the concrete is melting he's far more than just mad he's furious," he muttered back.
After a moment. "Do you have any idea what you've done to me," The Red Dragon Ranger growled.
The big one smiled and stood smiled and stood up. "We trapped you in a world where the only means of escape was to destroy your hearts greatest desire. To be with your true family," he said, and the other Rangers gathered up.
"Now that is a low blow," Jason said.
"No wonder he's mad I would be," Kimberly said.
"Anyone who didn't know their family would," Tommy said.
In front of them, The Red Dragon Ranger opened his hand slightly and his sword appeared in it in a flash of red light. "And now you're going to die for it," he growled.
The big smiled as the smaller one climbed to his feet. "Let's see if you can make that happen you puny human," the big one said, and the three leapt at each other.
The rangers watched in shock at the battle in front of them with The Red Dragon Ranger in his rage easily keeping his own with the Dragon creatures. In one instant, they vanished then reappeared on the top of one of the buildings. For almost ten minutes the three battled some of the impacts shaking the air and the grown they were on if they were on the ground.
Logan
After blocking, a blow from Leviathan Logan grabbed him by the bony wing and twisted around throwing him away. Then in the same motion, he dropped down and swept Dragvox's legs out from under him. Dragvox started to fall over the edge but in a flash, Logan had him around the neck and his sword at his throat.
The two looked at each. "This time you won't come back," Logan growled.
"DON'T DO IT OR I DROP YOUR FRIEND!"
Logan's head whipped around and up and he saw Leviathan holding Kimberly by the throat a hundred feet above them.
Red Dragon Spirit the other rangers Logan asked quickly.
They're too far away they can't do anything you know you can't let her die!
Logan looked back to Dragvox who smiled. "The choice is yours Red Dragon Ranger. Your mission or your vengeance you can't have both and you know it," he said.
Logan looked at him and tightened his grip on his throat. "One day I will make you pay," he growled and vanished.
Above them Leviathan threw Kimberly towards the ground and she started to scream as she rushed at the ground. In a half, way down Logan appeared behind her and grabbed her around the waist. He flipped the tow of them around and landed crouched low with her in his arms and the concrete cracked below them.
The other rangers rushed over, as he put her down, and she and Tommy held each other as Logan scanned the area. When his enhanced senses and his Ranger Sensors detected nothing of Dragvox and Leviathan he arched his back and screamed in frustration until his throat was sore. Without saying a word, he streaked away with the rangers watching him go.
"I'd hate for him to be that mad at us," Tommy said, and the rest nodded.
Hours later after Logan had cried himself horse over what had happen he walked out of the office wearing a pair of sweat pants and a sleeveless shit tapping his hands up. He soon arrived at a punching bag as he finished with the tape over his knuckled. He gave the punching bag a tap and it swung back and forth a little then looked behind it.
BAM! BAMBAMBAM! BAM!
Went the steel drum that Logan had raised up on a chain in place of the heavy bag. His hands and feet were a blur as he used various techniques on it and some caused it to dent in some places. Then empting his lungs with a shout Logan hit the drum so hard that the chain broke and it sailed away and crashed into the opposite wall where it was stuck.
Leaping high into the air with his legs tucked in Logan shouted and drew back his fist coming down on it. The next thing he knew he wasn't in the factory anymore and his fist was coming down on Alpha instead of the steel drum. In a flash, Logan twisted to his side and side hand sprang away from Alpha onto his feet and looked around The Command Center.
"Welcome Red Dragon Ranger," Zordon said, and Logan looked at him.
He shook his head and began to untape his hands. "So much for secrecy. How long have you known?" he muttered.
Zordon looked at him. "We've always known ever since you've arrived and I must say that Narvock trained you well," he said.
Logan looked at him leaned against one of the computer consoles. "Yeah he did. Do the Rangers know?" he asked.
Zordon shook his head. "no they don't humans often overlook what's right in front of their eyes as you had put Mr. Elivero and I brought you here tonight because I thought you might like to talk," he said.
"What's there to talk about?" Logan asked tossing the tape aside.
Alpha shuffled up to him and placed a hand on his sweating shoulder. "Logan hardly anyone can understand what you went through today. The Flower of Orpheus is one of the most dangerous dark items in this world," he said.
Logan looked at him. "Drop it Alpha," he warned.
"You can't hide from what happened to you Mr. Elivero. You are one of the selected few who were able to escape its grasp. The sacrifice you had to make would make even the strongest warrior go mad with grief," Zordon said.
Logan looked at him glaring. "We both know that's not my name you're going to give me a last name call me No Name or None," he said.
Zordon looked at him and nodded. "As you wish Mr. None but I must ask you are you Tommy son and Kimberly's son? The three of you are very close," he asked.
Logan looked at him and shook his head. "I was either given up or stolen when I was a newborn. Narvock raised me telling me stories of them when they were Rangers. Their daughter Rachel has been my best friend ever since we met at The Wind Ninja Academy and we trained together at The Thunder and Dragon Storm Ninja academies as well.
We both became Power Rangers at the same time with her being the first female Green Power Ranger. I knew the moment I arrived that Kimberly and Tommy would be a target however I forgot about Jason and Trini with their son Ian. Luckily Dragvox and Leviathan don't know who's who for now," he said.
Zordon looked at him for a moment and nodded. "Logan it was cleaver of you to hide the way you have in plain sight. Eventually the other Rangers will figure it out so you must find another way to hide your identity from them. Otherwise you will risk compromising your mission and the timeline," he said, after a moment.
Logan looked at him crossing his arms. "What do you have in mind?" he asked.
Zordon looked to the side for a moment then smiled looking at Logan.
