Chapter 14: Runs in the family

Rocky was the first one of the teens to arrive at the youth center on the morning that Star was supposed to arrive. He shrugged, he was early so he might as well grab something to eat. As he headed over to the counter someone crashed into him, "Watch where you're going," she snapped.

"I'm sorry," Rocky offered, before freezing, he never saw this girl before in his life, "Hi, I'm Rocky, I don't think we've met before."

The girl wrinkled her nose at him, "Star Turner, I'm not from around here, thank goodness for that."

Rocky frowned, "I'm sure you'd love Angel Grove once you get to know it better."

Star snorted, "The only reason I'm here is because my twin brother wants me to meet his crippled fiancée, which doesn't make sense, seeing as he could have any girl in the world."

Rocky pressed his lips together, if this was Tommy's twin sister, he hoped she didn't stay long or come out to visit often.

Soon Tommy and the others arrived, Rocky quickly saddled up to Tommy, "Hey Tommy want to spar," he asked, Tommy was always open for a spar first thing in the morning.

"Not right now, I want to talk to my sister first," Tommy insisted.

Rocky shook his head, he didn't want to stay around with Star, it honestly hadn't been hard to figure out who Star was, and he didn't like it.

He watched his team crowd around Star, who acted nice and polite to everyone, he frowned why was she acting so much different than she did with him. He should tell Tommy about his earlier encounter with his twin sister.

"Man, what's wrong?" Bulk asked.

"Looks like you're getting replaced by a girl," Skull added with his obnoxious laugh.

"I just don't trust Star, we meet earlier and it wasn't pleasant."

"Star's Tommy's twin sister, right," Bulk asked, trying to get his facts straight, it seemed like Tommy suddenly had a lot of siblings.

"Yeah," Rocky stated, nudging past them, he knew how this was going to work. Star was going to convince everyone that she was little miss perfect and no one would realize that it was just an act.

…

Across town in an abandoned building a girl that looked like a female version of Tommy, though slightly shorter and slimmer, broke the enchanted rope that was keeping her prisoner neatly in half, she rolled her eyes, the enchanted rope was easy to deal with, as long as you know what to do.

She tried to leave only to discover that she couldn't due to a forcefield, instead of frowning though she grinned like a kid who was just handed an ice cream cone. She wasn't afraid, she had already alerted her team and they were on the way. Whoever captured her wasn't smart, or didn't know who they were dealing with, forcefields and the enchanted rope were about as effective against her team as ice on the sun, totally pointless.

Outside the forcefield, she watched as a boy about two years younger than her placed some sort of pin in the four corners of the door frame. The older girl took a couple of steps back when the last pin was in place, she should be perfectly safe, but then again she might not be, she could never tell with this boy.

As soon as he sent the signal the forcefield disintegrated around the door, allowing the prisoner to escape with ease. She shook her head, "Thanks, Graph, that little gadget of yours worked like a charm."

The sixteen-year-old boy snorted, "My gadgets always work. They just don't always work in the way I want them to."

The girl rolled her eyes, "Thanks for the save, but we have to hurry, Camp is waiting for us. I don't know what captured me, but they were after my brothers, and I don't want anything to happen to them."

The boy nodded, "You don't think The Eraser is behind it do you?"

The girl shook her head, "No, Graph, I don't think your father is behind this, but it is a possibility. If he is, we best hurry."

…back at the youth center…

Rocky watched as everyone fawned over Star, what was the big deal about her anyway. He didn't understand why she could be so nice to the others but nasty to him. He shook his head as his communicator went off. Maybe he could explain what had happened to Tommy away from Star.

Star frowned when she heard the communicator go off, "What was that," she demanded.

"I have to go somewhere real quick," Tommy stated, "while I'm gone maybe Kim can show you around Angel Grove."

Star laughed, "That sounds delightful."

Rocky rolled his eyes. He couldn't wait for them to figure out that Star wasn't all that she seems.

…

Kim, Zack, Trini, and Aisha were showing Star around the park when they first thought something was wrong with Star.

A man around their age came running down a hill after them, "Star!" he called out, "There you are. I was worried sick when you sent out your distress call." The teen slid to a stop in front of them, "Where are your glasses?"

"I'm wearing contacts," Star stated simply.

He shook his head, "What are you doing here?" Kim noticed that he was starting to loosen up. He was getting ready to pounce but he was being careful as to not alert Star he was going to attack.

Tommy, someone just showed up, it looks like he wants to fight Star.

Star can take care of herself, besides you and the others are there. We will be there as soon as we are done here. At the moment we are fighting King Mondo.

Kim was about to comment back to Tommy, to tell him to be careful, when Star answered, "Can't you see, I'm hanging out with the Crippled Crane."

Star knows are identities; She knows I'm the Crane!

We're wrapping up this battle as fast as we can, check to see if she's an enemy or not. she might just be like Sam and know things.

"I see," the man said, before asking, "How are you wearing contacts, last I checked, you were allergic to them."

Star laughed, "What do you know about me?"

"Enough to know that you are not my wife," the man stated calmly, dropping into a fighting stance.

Star stared at him in shock, before laughing, "You're right, I'm not her," and with that, she turned into Scorpina.

Tommy, it's Scorpina, Star was Scorpina all along.

Just then there was a beam of light and the power rangers were there, "Zack get everyone to safety, and if anything happens to Kim!"

Zack nodded his head, "Combined wrath of the red and gold zeo ranger on my head, got it."

The next thing that happened was quite odd indeed, Scorpina, not paying attention to where she was stepping, not that she cared, stepped on a calico cat's tail. It was a costly mistake.

The cat lets out a hiss, and the man who claimed to be the real Star Turner's husband started to shout, "Fall back, Fall back!"

"Why do we need to retreat," Tommy shouted, "We're the power rangers."

"You don't need to retreat you need to advance in a different direction," The man shouted.

The power rangers stared at him until they realized that the cat that Scorpina had stepped on had suddenly become the size of a mountain lion, and was letting Scorpina know that it did not like getting stepped on.

Tommy turned to the man, "How did you know that the cat could do that?"

"Forget that," Zack insisted, "What type of cat was that."

The man shrugged, "Patches is a dangel, a creature of the twelfth realm, they're size changers."

Trini frowned, "I didn't understand a word you just said."

Jason, however, decided to ask a very important question, "Who are you? How do you know about that," he gestured to the cat that had shrunk back to normal size now that Scorpina had fled.

"Name's Camp, Patches is a good friend of my fiancée's, they grew up together."

Just then the girl that had been held a prisoner in the old abandon building appeared, along with the boy who had rescued her, "Camp, Patches, there you two are!" the girl shouted, before blinking, "Who was Patches fighting?"

Tommy blinked, how did she know that the cat had been fighting, there were no signs anywhere of the fight. He shook his head, maybe she saw something he didn't. the girl tapped her glasses as if that would help explain everything.

"I'm the real Star Turner, sorry I'm late, that Scorpion Lady tied me up, but I'm here now. I'm glad I'm not the only one continuing our family tradition Tommy."

Tommy took a step backward, "I don't know what you are talking about, I'm Zeo Ranger five: red."

Star burst out laughing as if what he said was hilarious, "Good one Tommy, but you couldn't fool Grandfather, and you can't-fool me."

Camp laughed, "She's right you know."

Tommy's heart was pumping like crazy, how did this girl, his sister, know about his secret identity.

"I'm telepathic," Star explained, "It runs in the family."

Tommy nodded slowly, "What did you mean by continuing the family tradition?"

Star rolled her eyes, "Saving the World, our family has been doing it for generations now." She looked at all of the confused faces around her, "I'm called the StoryKeeper, I use my pen of power to ensure this world a happily ever after."

"I've heard of you!" Trini exclaimed, "You were on the news in Switzerland about as much as the power rangers were."

Star nodded, "Yes, and this is my cousin Graph," she nodded to the boy who had rescued her, "

'Though you might know him by his other name, Technoboy," she nodded to Camp, "And my Fiancé, Landslide."

…

David had joined them at the youth center, though he seemed a little upset, "Both my younger siblings are engaged and save the world and I still can't get a girlfriend."

Star shrugged, "I'm Sorry, try believing in yourself, that would work wonders."

Just then a man dressed as a police officer arrived, "Star, there you are, your Grandfather sent me to find you."

Star rolled her eyes, "It must not be important, if he didn't contact me directly," then she paused for a moment, "You could have told me that before I left, Officer Scott."

Tommy frowned, he found it so weird that his sisters could read minds and often comment on them out loud, "What should he have told you before you left."

Just then Jason arrived, he did a double take when he saw the police officer, "Uncle Lee, what are you doing here?" he asked.

Star jumped up and pointed at the two Scotts, "That, that's what I'm talking about."

Officer Lee Scott smiled, "Jason's father is my younger half-brother," he explained.

"And our Mother is his Stepsister!" Star exclaimed, "Meaning…"

"Meaning it's a good thing I'm not really a Scott or I'll be engaged to my cousin." Kim interrupted, she seemed amused, to think if they had known, they might have been raised as cousins.

Jason quickly turned around, "I need to talk to my parents about this," he stated before storming out the door.

…

A/N: Another bombshell, Jason, and Tommy are cousins. I wonder how that will affect their relationship and their relationships with Kim.
