Greetings, one and all, welcome to another chapter of Power Rangers: Legacy. I hope your all going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the review.
DCMatriXHunter: Yeah, I might be going through Persona withdraw because of the wait for Persona 5... Happy to hear you enjoy it.
Now on to the story shall we?
The Monday after the Halloween weekend, the students of Harwood high had the day off. As how they would spend most of their free time, Sky and Gia were hanging out in his living room, watching a movie on the large television as they eat popcorn.
Though unlike his usual cheerful self, Sky was rather quite.
"Do they really think sex sells? Because that is wrong, its not sex that sells, its porn that sells.", Gia pointed out, before noticing his pondering expression, "Is everything alright?"
This managed to snap her friend out of his pondering, slightly startling him, "Oh, yeah, I am fine...", he muttered, before cracking a smile, "Thanks for hanging out today..."
"I'm happy to be with you.", Gia said and for some reason, he seemed to be at a loss as he turned his gaze to the carpet below, "Sky, you can tell me anything, you know that right? I won't judge you or anything."
"Alright, I haven't been able to get it all arranged in my own head, though... So please bare with me...", Sky said before taking a deep breath, "We never talked about that kiss on Halloween and... Oh, fuck it, I am just going to say it. I fucking fell in love with you. I understand if you don't like me that way but..."
At this, Gia cut him off by scooted over and taking a seat on his lap, resting her arms on his shoulder, facing him and staring his blue eyes.
"Sky, do you really thing I would have given you that kiss if I wasn't interested in you like that?", she asked with a raised eyebrow, "I have had a crush on you for a while myself, but I thought it wasn't possible. I admit, that sometimes when I see you with Emma, I wonder what you are talking about... It feels like someday, my heart is going to shrink... and I am afraid I won't feel anything anymore... So, um... I want you to look at me the way I look at you..."
At this it was his turn to cut her off, by wrapping his arms around her middle as they hugged it out. "I love you, Gia Moran... Will... will you be my girlfriend?" he sheepishly grinned at her and she did the same and nodded.
She rested her head in the crook of his shoulder and sighed in contentment.
Meanwhile over at the Warstar Spaceship orbiting the planet. Admiral Malkor and Vrak are looking out a window at the blue jewel down below.
"Things aren't well Vrak. Two of the six Rangers are able to use their Semblance and if that wasn't bad enough, this Robo Knight is interfering with our plans.", Malkor said turning to the alien next to him.
"I think I have a way of solving this problem. Instead of destroying Robo Knight, we will convert him to our side." , Vrak suggested.
Admiral Malkor finds the idea interesting, "He is a powerful adversary, turning him to an ally, would be extremely helpful.", he said before turning to his next point, "And how is your mission to destroy their connection to the Morphing Grid going?"
"Progress has been slow. It seems after the foiled attack of Thrax a few years ago, the Grid has grown an immunity to the being infiltrated again in the same way.", Vrak explained.
"Hmm... I see. Was Thrax really the son of Rita and Lord Zedd?", the admiral asked.
"I try not to think about it too much, to be honest.", Vrak muttered, shuttering at the thought of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd mating, "But to remedy this problem I have called in an expert.", he gestured behind them.
It was at this moment that they heard the clap of wings before a cloaked figured landed. A humanoid creature of 10 feet high, covered in dark hooded cloaks of long ripped black cloth, it had hunched shoulders and a crooked back. Going from its bare inhuman feet, its body seemed to have a grey complexion.
"Abraxas...", Malkor said.
"It's been a while, Admiral.", Abraxas said, placing its greyish hands on his back.
"Master Abraxas. I hope the journey here was pleasant.", Vrak said with a respectful bow.
"When I heard prince Vrak needed my help to crack the Morphing Grid, I couldn't say no. Especially when you are trying to do it at the center of the Verse.", Abraxas said, "And if it helps discredit your brother, I am always happy to lend my expertise."
"I am pleased to hear this, master.", Vrak said with another respectful bow.
"Forgive me, master Abraxas, but what do you mean by 'center of the verse'.", Malkor spoke up and the ancient master turned his attention to him.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to give you a history lesson on the Origins Myth, admiral.", Abraxas said as he walked over to the window overlooking the planet before speaking up.
"Before what we now know as the Arcmoani Network existed, there was Habitus, the Unchanging Realm. The being responsible for this Realm was Arcmoani, the Omniadeus. Into the statics he gave life to the Primordial's, formless spiritual beings to help populate it. The first of the Primordial's to form an identity was Caelumrai, thanks to its existence, more Primordial began to form their own identities, and soon there were fifteen separate, individual beings.
After some indeterminate amount of time, Caelumrai approached his peers with a plan to create a new plane of existence and to create and populate it with lesser beings of their own design.
Caelumrai's plan was executed resulting in the creation of The Planet. During this process it became clear to the other Primordial's that their own divine energy was being drained to help infuse life into The Planet. Some of the Primordial's managed to escape The Planet but for most it was too late, the Primordial's lost most of their power to finish the creation of The Planet.
The last of these was Caelumrai himself. His body becoming the physical mass of The Planet. His heart became a weapon named Force Calibur. While his soul spliced into the concepts of Hope and Despair.
Eventually a council was formed between the many races who inhabited The Planet, Magi, Terra's, Seraph's, Dragon's, Alicorn's, Dovah, all of them lived happy in harmony for a while. But after some time, The Planet was drawn into conflict, a being of Chaos, waged a war against the Ancient Council for control of The Planet.
The being gained power from the chaos all around him, becoming a godlike entity. In the end, the king of the Dovah, harvest the power of Force Calibur to break Discord's power by shattering The Planet into many smaller Worlds, bringing into what is now know as the Arcmoani Network, bringing into existence an mineral named hard Mundus Light, crystallized blood of Caelumrai.
The Worlds were surrounded by barriers to prevent outside interference making it impossible for different Worlds to have contact. It is said that Earth is the center of the Verse and the key to unlock it."
"I see... Thank you for the history lesson. Allow me to show you our access point to the Morphing Grid.", Malkor said, a bow of his head, gesturing with his hand before turning to Vrak, "Do what you have to do with Robo Knight."
Vrak nodded walking towards the shuttle by as Malkor and Abraxas went deeper into the ship.
The following day, Sky and Gia were walking hand in hand to school. The two had decided to let their relationship known to their friend. As they walked into Harwood High, they immediately attracted looks from the other students in the school.
The looks on their faces ranged from either "I knew it," to "Them? Together? Who knew?". Though neither of them really cared what others were thinking about them.
As the two walked down the hallway to their lockers, they noticed some very familiar people talking to each other not that far from Sky and Gia.
"I wonder how they will take the news." Gia wondered, but before Sky could respond to his girl, he was interrupted by a familiar voice, loud enough to be heard from the other side of the hall.
"Good morning, Sky and Gia!" Noah said, almost as soon as he said it, the rest of the Rangers had walked over to say good morning, but were surprised to see Sky and Gia were holding hands and that Gia was practically nuzzling him, unusual that she showed so much open affection.
"Well what do we have here?" Troy asked with cheeky grin, looking at their locked hands, some of the guys also looked interested.
"I am curious as to what is going on as well...", Jake said, a slight tone of jealousy to his voice, as he crossed his arms.
But Emma let out a excited squeal, "Sky! Gia! Which one of you finally did it!?", their friend exclaimed excited.
"Yeah, give us details. Did you do it, Sky?", Troy asked, "Did you went on one knee and asked her?"
The new couple looked at each other for a moment before turning back to their friends, "Did what exactly?", Sky asked.
"Well, confess of course!", Noah and Emma said at the same time, this left the others speechless for a few moments.
Sky and Gia look at each other, smiling at how everyone was taking the news. "I knew it.", Noah said giving a fist pump, "Thanks to my OTP coming true, I made some money now."
"Me and Gia are your One True Pairing?... Not weird at all.", Sky asked.
"I thought me and Sky were the One True Pairing.", Troy said, getting the attention from his friends.
"You have no idea what One True Pairing means. Do you Troy?", Sky asked with a raised eyebrow.
The Red Ranger crossed his arms letting out an uneasy chuckle, "Of course I do!...", trying to play it off.
"Uhu, but what was this about you winning money, Noah?", Gia asked, having a puzzling look at this.
"Troy, Noah, Emma and I had this bet going." Jake explained, "Troy bet that you guys would get together after the winter holidays, while Noah bet that you got together before winter break, Emma said you guys would get together just before spring break and I said you guys wouldn't get together."
"Took you guys long enough, though. My wallet has been dehydrated for who knows how long.", Noah said with a smile.
"I think that thanks to Gosei, you guys are getting a gambling problem.", Gia said with a shake of her head, "Still betting on if your friends would get together..."
"Yeah! I would have liked to place a bet as well!", Sky said dryly, much to his girlfriends amusement.
"Frankly, it was pretty obvious that you two would end up together.", Emma said, giving Gia a pet on the back.
After their classes, Sky and Gia were waiting in the cafeteria for the rest of their friends. Looking into her eyes, he could see that she was thinking about something. "What's wrong?", he asked.
"Nothing." she responded, "Just thinking about what the others said. I had no idea that it was so obvious that we liked each other."
They were soon joined by the rest of their friends and as they began to eat they began to discusse the possibility of a seventh Ranger.
"I can't believe how awesome Robo Knight was. All that power and speed.", Noah said, "But how come Gosei didn't tell us about him before?"
"He's probably embarrassed.", Jake said, playing with his food.
"It seems Robo Knight has lost some memory.", Emma sai, as Jake made a skeptical noise, "And he thinks he needs to work alone."
"I think Robo Knight kicks butt. He makes a great addition to our team.", Gia said, "What do you guys think?"
"We managed fine until now. But I guess an extra teammate couldn't hurt.", Sky said, Troy agreeing with him.
It was then that the morphers go off. "Well its that time again.", Troy noted as the rest gave a nod and they all took off.
The Morphed Rangers were teleported to a theme park where a turtle-duck like monster named Psychotick. "Quick! Before anyone gets hurt!", Troy said as they went to confront the monster.
"I was waiting for you guys to show up. After draining all that energy, I got power to burn! And what better way to use it than obliterate you Rangers!", the alien said just as as the Rangers use the ranged mode from their weapons and blast at it.
But Psychotick blocks the blasts and sends it back to the Rangers, which they managed to evade. "Okay, so we are going in swinging.", Sky said, using the melee mode of his Ostrich Saber and charged forward.
"Now that's what I called amusement!", Psychotick said as he charges towards the group.
"You know six against one might be a little much.", Sky said, parrying an incoming attack of the monster, giving Troy an opening to strike, followed by a heavy blow from Jake's Snake Axe.
Psychotick tries to strike the Black Ranger, but thanks to his Semblance, Noah managed to push Jake out of the way and get a hit in on the monster. Suddenly the Lion Mechazord arrives and transforms into Robo Knight. "I guess its time for the main event.", Psychotick comments.
"Good timing. Are you ready to finish this?", Troy asked as they regroup with the newly arrived Robo Knight.
"I will handle it alone.", Robo Knight simply told them as he charged towards the monster with his weapon.
"I have been itching to fight you!", Psychotick charges towards Robo Knight, thinking he would be to slow to react, but with his right hand, the robotic Ranger grabbed the monster by his arm before being spun around and with one swift kick, Robo Knight planted his foot in its face, sending him crashing to the ground.
Psychotick quickly gets back up and uses his tick attack against Robo Knight, who leaps out of the way, leaving the family behind him vulnerable. "What the.. Guys!", Troy said, alerting the other Rangers to the situation.
Quickly changing the mode of their weapons to ranged, they fire their Mega Blasters at the ticks and destroys them before they can harm the family. "I think Robo Knight needs to learn to watch his surroundings.", Sky said as he and the other Rangers race towards the playground area. The Rangers protectively stand in front the family and guard them.
"Robo Knight, what's the big deal!?", Gia shouted, "You left them wide open."
"The monster is my target.", Robo Knight replied as the Pink Ranger urges the family to run to safety.
Robo Knight followed up his blast attack with a powerful punch to the adornment, in a display of speed, the monster was attack by a series of powerful fast strikes from his blade, ending it with a powerful round house kick to the head, sending Psychotick to the ground once more.
The monster gets up and launches another tick attack and once again Robo Knight leaps out of the way once more, leaving a couple hiding behind a bench unprotected. "Why aren't you protecting those people?", Jake asked as he gets in front of the bench in time and knocks the tick attack away with his Snake Ax.
Robo Knight calls forth his Robo Blaster and then his Vulcan Cannon, but before he could strike, an energy tick lands on Robo Knight vanishes before the Rangers could help him.
Vrak comes out of his hiding place, having observed the entire fight, "He is mine now.", he tells them, Psychotick stands next to him, "Our plan succeeded." and just then Vrak and Psychotick vanish as well.
"This was all just a trick to capture Robo Knight!", Noah said.
"Whatever they plan to do to him has got to be bad.", Troy said and with a swirl of energy, they teleported to the Command Center.
Stepping out of the energy, the Rangers demorphed as they began to explain the situation. "Gosei, we have to find Robo Knight.", Troy said, "...I can't believe we let him be captured."
"There wasn't anything we could do, don't blame yourself.", Sky said, placing a hand on his friends back.
"Sky is right. Tensou trace their energy signature and locate where they teleported.", Gosie told his robot assistant.
Tensou does so, and after a few seconds he concludes, "They are still on Earth."
"Well that narrows it down.", Gia remarks sarcastically.
"I say we let Vrak keep him. Robo Knight didn't even care that he put all those people in danger.", Jake commented, "We can do without him."
"I do agree that it wasn't right for him to put those people in danger, but we can't let Vrak turn Robo Knight into a weapon or something like that.", Sky argued, looking to his friends, "No matter what, we can never leave another Ranger behind."
At this Troy nodded, taking a stand next to him, "I agree. He's one of us."
Gia adds, with a glance at Tensou, "At least he's still on Earth.", it was at this moment that a alarm went of in the Command Center, alerting them to an monster attack in the city, as well as the location where Robo Knight should be.
"We will have to split up. Sky, Gia and Me will go rescue Robo Knight, while Jake, Noah and Emma will go to the city.", Troy said to the other Rangers, giving a nod at this as they teleported to their current mission location.
