Chapter 14: The Mother Appears a Rocking Secret, Happy Birthday Corey
At the house, the man is in the living room. As the phone rings, the man seems to recognize the number as he answers it. "Hello", the man said to who ever is on the other end.
"Hello Christopher, it is me Sharon". The woman named Sharon to the man now revealed to be Christopher.
Christopher's face drops as he has not heard from her in years. "Sharon, the last time I talked to you, you told me that you just given birth to Levi". Christopher said to Sharon.
Sharon nods as she is Levi's mom. "Yes well, my ex husband and my son Corey lives in Reefside. Conner and Corey never knew about Levi". Sharon said to Christopher.
Christopher's eyes widen with intrigue. "You always ruin their day by rocking their world Sharon". Christopher said to Sharon.
Sharon nods to Christopher. "Oh yes, I am going to drop that bombshell secret on Corey's birthday". Sharon said to Christopher.
Christopher smirks with an evil grin on his face. "You are devious and vindictive. I knew I had a reason that I liked you". Christopher said to Sharon.
Sharon nods to Christopher. "Yes well, I got to go". Sharon said to Christopher.
Christopher nods to Sharon. "If you want to know, Levi is also a great kid as well". Christopher said to Sharon.
Sharon nods as she listens to Christopher. "Thanks I suppose Chris". Sharon said to Christopher as she ends the phone call.
Christopher puts the phone on the cradle. 'This is intriguing. Levi and Corey are half brothers, and they do not even know it yet'. Christopher thought to himself as his plan has gotten more intriguing.
At Corey's house. Corey and Conner are having a movie night. "So champ, what do you want to do for your birthday? It is coming up this Saturday". Conner said to Corey.
Corey looks at Conner. "Have a party maybe, plus I don't want mom to ruin it in anyway possible. I certainly don't want her at the party either". Corey said to Conner with a serious tone in his voice.
Conner sighs as in the last three years, his ex wife Sharon ruined Corey's birthday in more ways than he can count. "I can understand why you don't want your mother there, champ. I will do my best that she does not show up this year". Conner said to Corey.
Corey nod to Conner. "All you can do is doing your best dad". Corey said to Conner. Conner grins to at Corey. "I have always wondered where you get your wisdom from". Conner said to Corey.
Corey shrugs as he does not know the answer to it. "I do not know dad".Corey said to Conner as they watch a movie.
Back at the lair of Dr. Mutron, Fortesilenco walk towards Dr. Mutron. "Master, it seems that the red ranger will celebrating his birthday at the end of this week. We really should a monster to ruin things for them especially the red birthday boy". Fortesilenco said to Dr. Mutron.
Dr. Mutron looks at Fortesilenco with an intrigued look on his face. "It would ruin his day greatly". Dr. Mutron said to Fortesilenco.
Fortesilenco looks at Dr. Mutron. "Plus if the rangers are planning it to be a surprise party, the red ranger will be very vulnerable to a surprise attack". Fortesilenco said to Dr. Mutron.
Dr. Mutron has an intrigued look on his face. "Vulnerable indeed, Fortesilenco, go and pick a special monster just for him". Dr. Mutron said to Fortesilenco.
Fortesilenco bows to Dr. Mutron as he gets the order. "It will be a great monster that can and will destroy him". Fortesilenco said to Dr. Mutron as he leaves the room.
Fortesilenco went to the monster chamber as he sees all sorts of monsters. As he types in the computer on what he is looking for, Fortesilenco sees the monster that he is looking for. "This monster will be perfect against the red ranger. After all, this monster negates and absorbs rock music". Fortesilenco said to himself as he selects an anti rock mutant dove monster.
The anti rock mutant dove monster is chosen as she walks out from the monster chamber. It is dark gray with a white underbelly. It has dark red eyes, and it has sharp claws. It's legs are really strong as it can also run really fast. It can summon bird cages to trap its victims playing distorted bird song music. Plus when it is hit with rock and roll music, it absorbs it and weakens the person playing it.
Fortesilenco has an evil grin on its face. "Go attack the rangers especially the red ranger when he is alone". Fortesilenco said to the monster.
The mutant dove monster looks at Fortesilenco. "It will be my pleasure". The female monster said to Fortesilenco as it flies out from the lair.
It is a nice December day in Reefside. The teens are at Reefside High. Corey is walking down the halls as all the sudden he bumps into a guy. He has fair but tanned skin tone with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. He is about 16 years old and a junior in high school. He has a white tee shirt with a bronze brown plaid collar shirt with jeans and tennis shoes. "Sorry about that", he said to Corey.
Corey looks at the guy as he gets a strange feeling about him. "It's ok, I had a lot on my mind. My name is Corey by the way". Corey said to the guy.
The guy looks at Corey as it the guy his dad, Christopher, wants him to get close to and becomes friends with. "We all have stuff flying around in our minds all the time right. My name is Levi, Levi Askew". Levi said to Corey.
Corey looks at Levi as he grins to him. "I suppose that is true. I have to get to class". Corey said to Levi as he went to class. Levi stands there with a perplexing look on his face. 'Thats odd, why did he take off like that'? Levi thought to himself as he wonders more about him but not in a romantic sense.
At lunch, Diana and the teens notices how quiet Corey is as they are eating lunch. Wally looks at Corey. "Ok Corey, what is eating you"? Wally asks Corey.
Corey looks at them. "I had another dream last night. Except it is just like before we became rangers. I heard someone's voice telling me things. Although the message was cryptic at best, the voice told me that danger is coming and a new ally is coming as well". Corey said to them.
The teens look at each other with a skeptical looks on their faces. "Danger and an ally is coming. Do you think it's that witch that you and Jared battled at that Fortess? Plus who is the ally"? Julianne asks Corey.
Corey shrugs at Julianne. "I do not know Julianne. The voice said this ally is a true friend and a sibling that is left in the dark of a sinister plan". Corey said to them.
Matthew raise a brow at Corey. "That is really weird. Plus you are an only child right". Matthew said to Corey.
Corey looks at Matthew. "I suppose I am an only child, but I am not sure anymore". Corey said to them.
Bobby looks at Corey. "Look weird dreams or not, it sounds like it is telling you something important dude". Bobby said to Corey.
Corey nods to them. "That's not the only thing that is bugging me". Corey said to them. Diana looks at Corey. "What is it Corey"? Diana asks Corey as she is getting concerned for him.
Corey looks at them. "My birthday is coming up this coming Friday. Ever since my parents were separated and then divorced, my mom always ruined my birthday by lowering some sort of bombshell secret on my dad and me. Every year since, the bombshell secret has gotten even worse". Corey said to them.
The teens are shocked by it as they look at him. "You got to be kidding me". Vivian said to Corey.
Corey shakes his head as he is feeling really down about it. "No, she makes Cassandra look like a playground bully in comparison to her". Corey said to them.
Laura looks at Corey. "Well, it might be an unfair comparison to someone like Cassandra, but you sure do look like she has hurt you and your dad". Laura said to Corey.
They look at the teachers eating lunch as they see Coach McKnight really stressed out. He has a deep frown like something has really upset him. Kira looks at Conner. "I know that look Conner". Kira said to Conner.
Conner looks at Kira as he nods to her. "My ex wife, Sharon, she called me this morning". Conner said to Kira.
Kira looks at Conner as she preparing herself for what he is going to tell her next. "The ex wife that pushed that wedding date back for unknown reasons. The ex wife that cheated on you multiple times. The ex wife that never liked the name Corey". Kira said to Conner.
Conner nods to Kira. "Yeah, she told me that she wants to drop in for Corey's birthday. I told her no because ever time she drops by to see Corey on his birthday. No matter what I do, Sharon always shows up at the party unannounced, uninvited, and Corey still gets hurt by it. Man, I should have looked into why she pushed back the wedding day back when I was engaged to her. The dumb jock in me from high school is coming back". Conner said to Kira.
Kira looks at Conner. "She is more vindictive than Cassidy Cornell, Conner. Plus you really should look into getting security for the party or a restraining order against her". Kira said to Conner.
Conner looks at Kira as he nods to her. "I tried to get security for his party on his 11th birthday, and yet she wormed her way through. Although, a restraining order is something that needs to be considered". Conner said to Kira.
Kira is stunned by it. "You know you could go to Dr. O about it. I went straight to him when I found out that Trent had that affair with that band mate of mine". Kira said to Conner.
Conner shakes his head. "That is the lowest thing he has ever done to you. I mean it". Conner said to Kira.
Kira nods to Conner as she slightly blushes at him. "Thanks Conner", Kira said to Conner as they are getting reconnected.
That afternoon, Conner drives at Dr. Oliver's place while Corey and the teens are at DT Wave for training. Conner knocks on the door. Dr. Oliver looks at his former red ranger. "Come on in Conner, Kira told me the awful situation with your ex wife". Dr. Oliver said to Conner.
Conner nods as he went into the house and sits on the couch. "She always get to me and Corey especially on his birthday. When I won the custody case against her, I thought Corey and I can start over. It seems that she still gets to us. She is worst than when the evil white ranger was giving us trouble. If I only listen to Ethan before Sharon and I got married, I wouldn't be this cut off from him and Kira". Conner said to Dr. Oliver.
Dr. Oliver sits down next to him. "It is not your fault, Conner. Plus you leave the security detail for Corey's birthday party to me". Dr. Oliver said to Conner.
Conner looks at Dr. Oliver with a stunned look on his face. "How are you going to do that"? Conner asks Dr. Oliver.
Dr. Oliver looks at Conner. "You just give me the details of the party, and I will take care of the rest". Dr. Oliver said to Conner with a reassuring look on his face. "You know how to get things done, Dr. O. I do not know how you do it". Conner said to to Dr. Oliver.
Dr. Oliver nods to Conner. "When a situation comes up for a veteran ranger or even an active ranger, things happen that most people would call it a miracle". Dr. Oliver said to Conner.
Conner nods to Dr. Oliver. "It will be a miracle if she does not show up to the party". Conner said to Dr. Oliver. Dr. Oliver gives a supporting hand to Conner. "If anything happens involving her, she will be dealt with". Dr. Oliver said to Conner as the two talk some more and made some calls.
Back at DT Wave, the teens minus Corey are talking together. Diana looks at them. "Corey deserves to have the best birthday ever, so maybe we should through him a surprise birthday party". Diana said to them.
Bobby nods in agreement. "I agree plus I can not imagine being in Corey's shoes with ruined previous b-day parties caused by his mom. He wants to have a party in peace and away from her". Bobby said to them.
Wally looks at Bobby with a skeptical look on his face. "We could keep the details in secret". Wally said to them.
Vivian looks at them. "Yeah but even if we keep the details to a secret, how are going to keep his mom out from the party"? Vivian asks them.
Matthew is in deep thought about his own biological family and the horrible memories. Then something clicked into his head. "Maybe we can send her on a wild goose chase, and Corey get to have a great party". Matthew said to them.
Everyone looks at Matthew with a stunned look on their faces. "Matthew, you are a genius". Laura said to Matthew. Matthew is taken back by this. "I am", Matthew said to them like he does not believe it.
Julianne looks at them. "It is a brilliant idea. Corey gets a great birthday party without his mom ruining it. We just need a few fake party locations and the real one at the actual place of the surprise party". Julianne said to them.
The teens nod as they come up with the plan.
That Saturday morning, Corey got up for school. He is not as excited considering how many birthdays got ruined by his mom. 'My first birthday in Reefside, I wonder if mom will ruin that as well. Plus I wonder why the others are acting very strangely around me all week'. Corey thought to himself as walks towards the living room.
In the living room, Corey spots Conner who is getting ready. "Hey dad, I thought we could do something today. It is a pretty day on a December day". Corey said to Conner.
Conner looks at Corey. "Actually, I am going to be busy today, Champ. I promise that today will be a blast". Conner said to Corey as he leaves the house.
Corey sighs as he wonders what his dad has been up too all week. 'Maybe the others are free', Corey thought to himself as he goes for a walk.
As Corey went to talk to his teammates, he finds out that each one is busy doing other things today. Corey has a disappointed look on his face as he went off alone.
In the countryside, Corey is walking around as he wonders what is going on with his friends and his dad. 'I thought today will be great, but it is going to be like the other birthdays that my mom ruined'. Corey thought to himself.
Then the anti rock mutant dove monster shows up at the countryside. "Why hello ranger, is your day not going you way"? The anti rock mutant dove monster asks Corey.
Corey looks at the monster as he has his morphor out. "My day was bad enough as is before you show up. Music Force, Let's Play the Music". Corey said as he morphs into his ranger form.
The anti rock mutant dove monster has an evil grin on her face. "I would like to see you try to land a move on me, red ranger". The anti rock mutant dove monster said Corey.
Corey looks at the anti rock mutant dove monster as he grabs his music saber. "I will", Corey said to the anti rock mutant dove monster as the battle begins.
As the battle begins, Corey uses his music saber of rock against the anti rock mutant dove monster. However each blow Corey made, it gets absorbed by the monster. "What", Corey said to the monster.
The anti rock dove monster is a lot stronger than before. "You see red ranger, your rock music is not effective against me because I am a anti rock monster". The monster said to Corey as it fires a bird cage at him.
Corey manages to dodges them as he is alone. 'Great, my friends must know that I am in trouble'. Corey thought to himself.
At Haley's Cyberspace Cafe, the teens are getting the party set up. Haley and Kim got filled in on the ex wife situation. "This party is going to be great". Diana said to them. "Yeah Corey will be so surprised". Vivian said to them.
Laura nods as she feels kind of bad. "You know I hate about lying to Corey, but he looked really sad when I told him I had violin lessons today". Laura said to them.
The teens look at each other. Matthew looks at them. "You know Corey found me a while ago, but I told him I had to help my parents at the restuarant". Corey said to them.
Bobby looks at them as he gets the bad feeling. "Guys, if Corey thinks we have forgotten about his b-day, then the evil forces could have send. a monster on him". Bobby said to them.
The teens look at each other as they realizes that Corey could be in trouble. Julianne grabs her morphor. "Mom, can you get a lock on Corey's morphor"? Julianne asks Kira.
At the Music Force HQ, Kira is looking on the monitors and sees a battle going on. "Rangers head to the countryside now. Corey is in trouble". Kira said to them.
Back at the Cyberspace Cafe, the teens realize that they need to help Corey. Julianne looks at them. "Let's go", Julianne said to them. They rush out from the cafe and head to the countryside.
Back at the battle, Corey is trapped in a bird cage as the distorted bird song music is getting to him. He is on his knees as he is nearly demorphing. The anti rock mutant dove monster looks at the red ranger. "What's wrong red ranger is my distorted bird song music is too much for you"? The anti rock mutant dove monster said to him.
Corey looks at the monster as he is struggling to get up. "There is something about a red ranger. When you mess with the leader, his or her teammates come to help no matter the circumstances". Corey said to the monster.
The monster looks at the red ranger. "Where are your little teammates? I don't see them here". The monster said to him.
Just then, musical beams of heavy metal and rap hits the monster. "We are right here bird brain". Wally said to the monster.
Music beams of jazz and classical music breaks the bird cage as the distorted bird song music stops as well. Corey is about to fall as Matthew makes the catch. "Are you ok"? Laura asks Corey.
Corey looks at them. "I am glad that you guys came. I thought I was a goner". Corey said to them as tears are about to fall underneath his helmet.
Julianne and Vivian looks at Corey. "Don't worry about it, Corey. Besides this birdie is about to sing its last distorted bird song. You ready Viv". Julianne said to Vivian.
Vivian nods to Julianne. "Yeah", Vivian said to Julianne. Julianne and Vivian combined their music sabers and sends a hip hop blues beam at the anti rock monster.
The pink and blue musical beams with blues and hip hop musical notes hit the monster directly as it is destroyed. "Song complete, Music Force Power Rangers". Julianne and Vivian said as they saved the day.
Corey looks at them. "So guys, why were you so busy today"? Corey asks them. They look at Corey. "You will find out tonight. Plus you really should get some rest before then". Laura said to Corey. Corey nods to them as they demorph and head back to Reefside.
That night, Corey and Conner are heading to the Cyberspace Cafe. Conner looks at Corey. "Geez Champ, from that battle, you don't look that bad from that thing you faced today". Conner said to Corey.
Corey looks at his dad. "It was a tough battle, and plus that monster absorbed the rock music that I threw at it. If they have more monsters like that, we would be in serious trouble". Corey said to Conner.
Conner nods to Corey. "I am glad that you are alright, but now I think your day will get even better". Conner said to Corey.
Corey looks at Conner as he opens the door to the cafe. "Dad, why is this place so dark"? Corey asks Conner.
As the lights came on, Corey has a stunned look on his face. "Surprise Happy Birthday Corey", the teens said as their are the teens from Spirit Warriors and Jurassic Squad are here.
Corey has a deeply surprised look on his face. "Oh guys, I can't believe you pulled this off". Corey said to them. His team mates went to him. "It would not be a party with out us. Plus we planned other things as well". Bobby said to Corey.
As the party got started, Conner looks to see how happy Corey is with his teammates. Things seems to go well except for one thing. "I am invited. I am his mother". A woman said to them.
The police officer looks at the light brown headed woman with hazel colored eyes. She has a dark gray and red outfit with heels. She also has a present for Corey in her hands. "Sorry lady, you are not on the invited list, and this is a private event, and you are on someone's property. If you don't leave, you will be arrested for trespassing". The officer said to the woman.
The woman looks at him. "Do you have any idea of the wild goose chase I have been on to see my son on his birthday? I get deceived by seven teens all over this town about my son's party, and my darling of an ex husband should have told me about it instead of being lied too". The woman said to the police officer as she forced her way into Cyberspace Cafe.
Conner looks at the woman as he frowns. "Why are you here, Sharon"? Conner asks Sharon. Sharon looks at Conner. "I want to see Corey and tell him a happy birthday, but apparently someone sent me on a wild goose chase in this low class town that you came from. You must have done that to send me the wrong way". Sharon said to Conner.
Conner has a clueless look on his face. "I do not have any involvement of sending you on a wild goose chase. You really should not be here. You are upsetting Corey". Conner said to Sharon.
Corey has a devastated look on his face. "You always do this mom, and I want to know why". Corey said to Sharon.
Sharon looks at them. "Son, I raised you to have manners. Plus it was not very polite to lie to me on where your party was instead of sending me on a wild goose chase. It must have been your idea wasn't it". Sharon said to Corey.
Matthew looks at Corey as he shares a fear with him. "It was not his idea lady. It was mine. You should leave now". Matthew said to Sharon. It is not long that the other music force teens defend him.
Laura glares at Sharon with that momma bear look in her eyes. "We all deceived you to protect Corey". Laura said to Sharon. It is not long that Jared and Quincy also defends Corey as well.
Conner looks at Sharon. "By the way Sharon, if you ever go near or do something to Corey, I will file a restraining order against you". Conner said to Sharon.
Sharon looks a them as she grits her teeth. "Well, I hope you can deal with this bombshell secret, Conner. Before we were supposed to get married, I cheated on you with a real man, and I got pregnant with a son. Plus this son also lives in Reefside. It won't be long until he meets Corey. At least he has a name that I like than Cornelius". Sharon said to Conner as she throws the present at the counter as it hit a few glasses. Plus those glasses broke on the floor. Sharon leaves the cafe.
Corey has a devastated look on his face as the party got ruined. He is also devastated that he has an older sibling that he never knew about. He runs off as Jared went after him to talk. Conner sighs as he has to deal with this again.
The police officers went up to Dr. Oliver and Conner . "Myers and Collins are on it. They will pull her over and arrest her". The police officer said to them. Dr. Oliver nods to them as they left.
Conner walk over to the teens. "I understand why you pulled that stunt with my ex wife. Plus I would have done it when I was your ages". Conner said to them.
Julianne nods to Conner. "We did it to protect Corey". Julianne said to Conner.
Matthew nods to Conner. "We couldn't let that woman disguised as a mom to ruin his day and party". Matthew said to Conner.
Wally nods to Conner. "He will not be vulnerable with us around". Wally said to Conner.
Bobby nods to Conner. "We will always have his back". Bobby said to Conner.
Diana nods to Conner. "Even in the most dire of circumstances". Diana said to Conner.
Vivian nods to Conner. "We are his friends just like you were friends with my dad". Vivian said to Conner.
Laura nods to Conner. "Plus no one messes with the momma bear of our circle of friends". Laura said to Conner.
Conner looks at them as he nods in agreement. "You are right. Plus the next time you come up with something like that again , you should come to me, Kira, Ethan, or Dr. Oliver, understood". Conner said to them.
The teens nod to him. "Yes Coach McKnight", the teens said to them. Conner nods to them. "I do believe this is a birthday party, not a wake". Conner said to them as the party went back to normal. They notice that Corey is not in the room.
Haley went up to Conner. "Corey went to the upstairs balcony. I do believe Jared went up to talk to him". Haley said to Conner.
Conner nods to Haley. "Thanks Haley", Conner said to Haley as he went up to find them.
At the upstairs balcony, Corey has tears fallen down from his eyes. Jared looks at Corey. "Are you ok"? Jared asks Corey.
Corey looks at Jared. "Not really, this is the worst bombshell that my mom has ever told me and my dad. I don't even know his name or does he like me or he hates me because I have known her longer than he has". Corey said to Jared.
Jared looks at Corey. "You are upset and angry about it. I get it, and I know how you feel". Jared said to Corey.
Corey looks at Jared. "You do", Corey said to Jared. Jared nods to Corey. "Yeah I got angry and upset when my dad told me that he had an affair with a woman 18 years ago that resulted with my younger half brother". Jared said to Corey.
Corey nods to Jared. "That must be rough on you to deal with. Do you accept him into your family even though he is related to you through means caused by a martial affair"? Corey asks Jared.
Jared looks at Corey as he reminded of the wisdom. "My relationship with my half brother is complicated, but whoever is your half brother will be surprised by you like I am. Plus any guy will be lucky to have you as a younger half brother" Jared said to Corey.
Corey nods to Jared. "Thanks Jared, I feel better now". Corey said to Jared. Jared nods to Corey. "Your welcome, plus we should get back to your birthday party". Jared said to Corey.
As Corey nods to Jared, Conner spots them. "Everything ok", Conner asks them. Corey nods to him. "Yeah dad", Corey said to Conner.
Jared looks face to face to Conner. "You were the red Dino Thunder Ranger". Jared said to Conner.
Conner nods to Jared. "That's right, tyrannosaurs are the leaders of any Dino team, and there is no denying it". Conner said to Jared.
Jared nods to Conner. "Yeah", Jared said to Conner as they went back to the party.
Meanwhile, Sharon got arrested by the Silver Guardians Officers Meyers and Collins for disturbing the peace. She makes a call to Christopher to get bailed out.
A couple of hours later that Christopher shows up and paid the fine. The two head towards the car as they got in the car. "Thank for coming to get me, Christopher. My ex husband really went over board with this. I just wanted to spend some time with my son, and he had to spoil everything". Sharon said to Christopher.
Christopher looks at Sharon. "Don't worry about that, Sharon. You do want to get back at your ex husband". Christopher said to Sharon.
Sharon looks at Christopher. "Absolutely", Sharon said to Christopher. Christopher has an evil grin on his face. "Welcome aboard then", Christopher said to Sharon as his plans are getting more interesting.
End Chapter
Yeah I have this chapter done during the holiday. I hoped that I got it done yesterday, but it did not happen. I cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal yesterday from the turkey to the deserts, so it was a lot of hard work.
Next Chapter: The Softie Secret of the Heavy Metal
