Hey guys, here's the next big reveal! Like I said in the last chapter, the new cover video and photo should be out with the next chapter, but this character bio is now in the first chapter.

This character was created by the great ICrzy, who also created Maya, and is a really good writer! Check her stuff out sometime!

Last time on Power Rangers: Animal Guardians

Stepping back, Ada pulled her axe down and quickly slammed it upwards, knocking Coyote into the air. Then, she quickly pulled out her blaster and blasted him back even farther, making him explode upon impact.

She demorphed before running over and helping Cal stand up, who quickly engulfed her in a hug. "You saved us," She whispered breathlessly into her shoulder. "I knew you would."

The other rangers also stood, groaning from their injuries, but coming over to welcome the newest member to their team. Roger was a bit quieter than usual, though no one noticed.

From the shadows, a silver figure watched them. He saw them cheering for the end of the battle, then running off before the emergency responders got there to keep their identities in track. His eye mostly caught on Kay before they all disappeared down the street.

He nodded, deciding what he was going to do before walking off.

Now

Cal and Ada sat in cooking class, listening to the teacher's instructions to make cinnamon rolls, before she told them to get a partner. Neither Cal nor Ada were close to anyone else in the class, so they quickly decided to work together.

Ada was still a bit on the fence about working with others, and it was almost painfully obvious in the way she took the instructions and tried to do everything as quickly as she could to avoid letting Cal do anything.

Cal didn't take it personal - she came to realize in the week Ada had been on the team that that's just the way she was, and Cal was fine with that.

Despite that little detail, Cal and Ada had actually been getting quite close. They had been hanging out at lunch, sparring together, even though Cal was usually Kay's partner, and had just been getting to know each other.

"Hey," Ada said, causing Cal to look up from the dough she was making. "Do you think all of the others like me? I feel Like Tanzo and Kay are fine, but Geo and Roger seem a bit distant."

Cal shrugged. "Well, they've both been a bit distracted. Geo's trying to find his dad to get back with his mom, and Roger's brother has to get surgery, so I wouldn't take it personally. I get your worry, though; I worry about a lot of the same stuff all of the time."

Ada looked at her. "Really?"

She nodded. "Oh yeah. I have pretty bad social anxiety, so, sometimes, that's pretty much all I think about."

"I never would've guessed," Ada looked her over. "You know, I have it too. Not so much social, but just in general."

"No way," Cal was shocked. She had never really met anyone else who she knew had anxiety, though her mother had tried to introduce her in hopes of getting support for it. "You don't seem like it at all, either."

Ada chuckled a bit. "Yeah, I've learned more or less how to control it. It was pretty hard, but I just always told myself how unreasonable my worries and fears were, and, eventually, it began to help. Not saying that would help with everyone, but it definitely works for me."

Cal was silent for a few moments, before looking back up at Ada. "So, are you busy after school?"

"What?" Ada looked over from her task quickly. "Uhh.. no, why?"

Cal fumbled with her words a bit. "W.. well, I was umm.. thinking maybe we could go to Carlyle's. As.. as friends, of course."

Ada smiled, a bit amused, seeing what Cal was trying to do. "Are you trying to ask me out and play it off as a friendship invitation?"

She cringed with a nervous chuckle. "Is it that obvious?"

"Painfully so,"

"Oh," Cal played with her hair awkwardly. "Well, I know we haven't really been hanging out for too long, and it's a bit quick to ask, but I just figured because in that dream.. thing that maybe you would want to. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it but I..."

Ada cut her off. "I'll meet you in front of the school."

Cal smiled brightly. "Okay, I'll see you there, then."

~Cue Opening 2~

Terra sat in her throne, watching replays of her monsters failing over and over again. She noticed, however, that Veenom had, so far, the best success, only being taken back when a new ranger, who they didn't know of, showed up. If he knew about her, he could have taken down all of them, potentially.

"Veenom!" She demanded, and the large monster came into the room, holding his scythe in hand and his poison darts on his shoulder in a new gun.

He bowed slightly to her. "Terra," He addressed. "How can I be of service to you?"

Terra gestured to the screen. "You could have won if you knew of this ranger, yes?"

"Of course,"

"Then go down to Earth and take the rangers out. One by one." Terra ordered.

"No problem, my queen," Veenom bowed once more before exiting the throne room.

After he left, Terra stood and walked over to the prison cells, where Julie and Riana sat dejectedly. As she approached, Riana stood and walked up to the bars of the cell.

"Let me guess; the power rangers are beating you?" Riana crossed her arms.

Terra chuckled. "They may think that, but not for long. I just thought you should know that Veenom is going down to Earth to take them out. Once they're gone, I'm going to kill you both,"

Julie rolled her eyes. "If you really wanted to kill us, why haven't you done it already? I mean, you honestly have no use for us." She stood up and walked forwards to stand next to Riana. "If anything, you're going soft. I don't think you really know why you're even trying to destroy Earth. You must remember being good, and you should know that this is about as normal as one of us turning evil." She gestured to herself and Riana. "You're just blindly following that stupid little implant in your head from Terrible."

Terra glared at her and grabbed her through the bars. "Never doubt me, Julie. You'll never win that one." Terra threw her back and stormed off.

A bit away, Valcon listened in on their conversation. He completely agreed with his daughter, and knew that something had to be done about Terra before they were all destroyed by the rangers.

~PRAG~

In class, Roger and Maya sat in the back, looking over their history questions given to them by their teacher, who was now browsing the internet with no interest for his students.

Maya was doing her work rather diligently, but when she glanced over to Roger to ask him what he got for a certain question, she noticed how unfocused he seemed.

"Okay, what's wrong?" She asked, crossing her arms as Roger looked up at her, a bit startled by her question.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Maya repeated. As Roger opened his mouth to respond, Maya cut him off. "Don't even tell me nothing, because it's pretty obvious. Just say it."

Roger sighed. "Remember when I thought I should be the leader?" When Maya gave him a strange look, he continued, "Okay, so you weren't here for that, but I did, and I got over it. Now, my brother found out I was a ranger, and when I told him I was second-in-command, he acted like that was a bad thing. Like I have to be the leader to be a good ranger, you know?"

Maya frowned. "Does he always pressure you like that?"

"I wouldn't call it pressuring, necessarily," Roger rubbed his arm uncomfortably. "He just thinks I should be the best, or else I'm.. well, not."

"So, pressuring, then?"

Roger looked down at the table, before looking back up at her. "I guess,"

"What are you gonna do about it?" Maya asked. "You gonna tell him to stop?"

He made a face. "Well... I mean, I don't know if I should, you know,"

Maya sighed. "Roger, I think he'll appreciate the honesty. Besides, if you keep beating yourself up over this, you're never going to be able to really get along with him because you're always going to resent the way he does that."

Roger tapped his fingers on the table. "What if he dies, and the last thing he remembers of me is me telling him off for doing that?"

"I think it would be better than all you remembering about him is the way he always pressured you to do things you don't necessarily want to do or care about. You wanna remember the good times, but, if you don't say anything, how do you know that that won't overpower all of the good things you remember until you secretly hate him for that."

He had a, practically, pained look on his face. "You think?"

"I do," Maya nodded. "Just think about it, and, if you go about it the right way, nothing bad will happen."

~PRAG~

After school, Kay sat in the tutoring center, waiting for Nate. The boy showed up a few moments later, carrying a test he took in hand, putting it on the table as he sat down and put his backpack on the floor.

Kay smiled. "Okay, what'd you get?"

Nate made a face, "Well, it's not good,"

She frowned. "I'm sorry. It's okay - we can work even more and get way better next time."

"Actually," Nate smirked. "It's great." He turned it over, breaking into a smile when Kay's eyes widened at the B+.

Kay leaned forwards and engulfed him into a hug. "That's so great! I'm so proud of you!"

"All thanks to you," He hugged her back.

"Not even," Kay pulled away awkwardly, after the hug lasted for a bit longer than she realized. "It was all you," She said, looking away almost shyly.

"Did I do something wrong, Kay?" He frowned, noticing her sudden change in expression.

Kay shook her head. "No, it's just.. that hug..." She trailed off.

"Was there something wrong with it?" Nate leaned down to look in her eyes. "I liked it, but if you didn't we don't have to do that. Nothing you're not comfortable with. We could just have a working-type relationship."

She sighed. "No, I liked it too, but.. I don't know what you're looking for right now. I mean, you've been really nice to me, and offer to walk me home, and.. stuff like that happens where I find myself lost when I get too close to you. I don't know what to do."

Nate nodded. "I understand. You know, I only do that because I like you, not because I'm trying to take advantage of you or anything. I wouldn't do anything you felt uncomfortable with. I really like you."

"But, you barely know me," Kay looked away.

He had his hand on the table near her's a lightly moved so their hands were just touching. She didn't move from the advance. "That's not true. We've been hanging out and talking and I know enough about you. I thought you liked me too."

"Well, I mean, I do.. but, I don't know, Nate. I've never gotten close enough to someone else to actually consider something like this." Kay rubbed her arm almost uncomfortably. "It's really not that I don't like you, it's just complicated, you know? I've never opened myself up to someone like that before."

"I totally understand," Nate smiled. "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, Kay."

Kay looked up at him from her gaze at the table. "I don't understand. I mean, most guys would be all over it and wouldn't leave it alone."

"I know what you're talking about," Nate shook his head. "People - guys, or girls - are not objects people can just claim. It has to be a two-way street, or else it's not one at all. If you feel uncomfortable, or you don't like something we're talking about, or whatever, it won't happen, because people deserve to be respected like that."

She moved her hand nervously until it was over his, and she felt good when it was. "I'm sorry, Nate. I totally stereotyped you, and that's not right of me. I guess it's just me being my distrustful self, even though you've given me no reason to act like that. I would actually like to hang out sometime, if you want."

Nate nodded. "I would love to, but I think we should start slow. Maybe I'll just walk you home."

~PRAG~

Tanzo was at Ben's boxing studio with Vi, who was watching him with a frown. He seemed a bit off, and he was sweating much more than he usually was.

"Are you okay?" She asked, putting her tablet down and walking over to stop him from punching the bag.

He gestured to his back. "I don't know. Something hurts," He chuckled humorlessly as she took a look, surprised to see a small dart-like object sticking out of his back.

Vi touched it lightly, causing it to fall out. As it did so, the skin around the small pinprick began to turn an ink black color and spread outwards. "What the hell?" Vi knelt down to pick up the dart as Tanzo swayed slightly on his feet.

Ben came out of the back to see what was going on, and saw how suddenly Tanzo had paled. Ben walked over and put a hand on the yellow ranger's shoulder as he looked up sluggishly.

"Tanzo, you good?" Ben put his other hand on Tanzo's other shoulder to hold him still as he once again swayed on his feet.

Tanzo didn't respond, so Ben led him over to the bench to sit down before walking back over to Vi, who looked up at him with a worried look on her face.

"This is one of Veenom's darts. He was back, and no one noticed." Vi shook her head as she placed the dart in Ben's hand to let him see it. "This isn't good. If he can hide from our sensors, he could go after the others without anyone noticing."

"But, he's been here for a while," Ben said, putting the dart in his pocket to give to Alicia to extract the rest of the poison from. "I know Veenom hasn't been here."

"He had to have shot Tanzo before he got here then," Vi responded. "I mean, he was really only affected when I accidentally knocked the dart out. We have to warn the others." Vi took out her own communicator, and tried to press down to get even one of the others, but all she heard was static. "Geo? Roger? Cal? Kay? Ada? Come on, anyone?"

Ben walked over and hoisted Tanzo up over his shoulder. "We have to get to Ranger Ops. Now."

~PRAG~

Cal and Ada sat in Carlyle's Diner, laughing, talking, and eating. Ada was having a club sandwich with french fries on the side, and Cal was eating pancakes with strawberry toppings and syrup.

Ada chuckled. "I still don't know how you can eat pancakes for almost dinner. Pancakes are a breakfast food."

"I disagree completely," Cal scooped a bite into her mouth. "Breakfast is just a label for a certain time of the day. I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want."

"I guess it is a free country," Ada put her hand up as she used the other to put a french fry in her mouth. She looked Cal over for a few moments before smiling at her. "You know, I'm having a really good time, Cal."

Cal smiled back. "Me too." Suddenly, Cal's face contorted in pain and she reached up and practically smacked the side of her neck.

"What's wrong?" Ada leaned forward a bit, but then felt a strange and painful prick in her upper arm. She lifted her hand to touch it and looked over to see a small dart sticking out of her arm. She looked towards Cal, who was about to pull it out. "Don't," She warned. "We need to get to Ranger Ops."

"What is it?" Cal asked, pulling her hand carefully away from her neck.

Ada gestured to the dart in her own arm. "Veenom. The poison activates extremely quick if we take it out." She pulled some money out of her pocket and slapped it down on the table before pulling Cal with her out of the diner. "With him around we won't be able to teleport."

Cal looked over at her as they walked in the direction of Ranger Ops. "How do you know that?"

"I've had a run-in with him before,"

~Flashback~

Ada stood in front of Veenom, who was smiling evilly at her. Behind her was a 15 year old girl with brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin similar to Ada. She was unconscious on the ground with a black mark on her neck that was slowly creeping across her skin.

"Pathetic human," Veenom spat. "Protecting each other." He shook his head. "Like I said, pathetic."

Ada growled under her breath. "I'm going to kill you," She hissed. "By the way, it's called love. She's my sister, and I'll always protect her, which is always why I'm going to kill you."

"You'll never beat me,"

Ada's sister, Kassidy, groaned from the floor behind her as Ada heard footsteps behind her. Glance behind her for only a moment, she saw her older brother TJ sneaking behind her to grab Kassidy. TJ had pale skin and blue eyes to match both of his sisters, but had light brown hair and was quite tall compared to them, standing at at least over 6 feet.

Being as he was so tall, even when he was crouched down he was still very noticeable to Ada, and Veenom. Veenom readied a dart when Ada finally pulled out her pendant and held it towards him, distracting the monster immediately.

"A ranger?" Veenom stared in shock, unaware that there were anymore rangers than he already knew of. "Impossible,"

Ada bit her lip as she turned back to TJ standing there with Kassidy gathered in his arms, watching her. They didn't know she was a ranger, and she never planned on telling either of them, but she had to do something.

She shoved the pendant inside of her morpher and watched it get sucked in. "Animal Guardians, Arise!" She called as crimson dust began to surround her body, forming her suit. "Power of the Owl!"

From behind her, she could almost see TJ's look of shock, but she quickly heard him begin to back away until see couldn't hear his footsteps anymore.

Veenom tried to shoot a dart at her but she put up her axe to defend herself from it. "So, Veenom," Ada held her axe at her side. "What now?"

~End of Flashback~

"What happened after that?" Cal asked as they were almost at Ranger Ops.

Ada shrugged. "I got rid of him. He shed his skin and disappeared. I almost thought he was dead, but when I heard he was attacking again, I had to come over. He's highly dangerous, and he almost killed my sister."

Cal pursed her lips. "Ada, he's never gonna beat us, I promise. We'll take him down - together. If that's okay."

Approaching Ranger Ops, Ada faced Cal and gave her a small smile. "That's great."

As they got there, they saw Roger limping towards them with Maya next to him shaking her head. "Why didn't you say you got hit by Veenom?" She muttered.

"I didn't know." Roger said through gritted teeth as Maya held the dart in his shoulder.

Maya saw the two and sighed. "Come on, let's go in. Alicia can fix this."

~PRAG~

Geo, earlier, had Vi track Noah's cell phone number after getting it off of his mother's phone when she was sleeping. He tracked him to a small apartment building, and ask the manager where he was. The manager told him the number and he walked up the stairs to get to the door.

When he arrived, he knocked nervously on the door. "Noah?" He called. "You in there?" He knocked again.

There was a sound and he heard someone come to the door. The door opened and a woman peeked through. Geo was about to get angry, but he noticed a strange tattoo on her neck and became more suspicious and worried about where Noah was rather than thinking he was cheating.

"Who are you?" The woman looked him up and down with a look of almost disgust.

"This is my father's apartment," Geo crossed his arms as the woman got a bit of a shocked look on her face. "Who are you?"

Suddenly, the woman bolted away from the door, allowing it to swing open with the force. Geo saw her hop out of the window and onto the fire escape as he then looked down in shock to see Noah on the floor with a needle in his arm and was bleeding from a gash in his head.

"Oh my god," Geo grabbed his phone and immediately called 911 just as his morpher beeped. He quickly talked to the police before hanging up and pressing the button on his morpher. "Yeah?" Unfortunately, all he heard was static. He then looked up in shock as he realized something.

Our communicators got cut off the last time Veenom was here, Geo thought.

He ran over and closed the door, only to be hit in the hand with a dart. He hissed in pain and saw it sit there. Last time, he remembered pulling it out before succumbing to unconsciousness, and decided not to pull it out for safe measures.

Geo looked towards his father on the ground, though was unsure whether to do anything or not. He stood there awkwardly and worriedly, wondering what he was going to do when the police got there. He had a dart in his hand, and if it came out, he was screwed in the face of the cops. Meanwhile, if he left, he was look suspicious.

As he heard sirens nearing, he decided to run out of the room and down in time to catch them.

"He's up there!" Geo yelled. "In apartment 20," He grabbed the arm of one of the cops. "Hey, I have to go home to see if my mother is okay, can I meet you guys at the hospital?"

The officer looked a bit hesitant, but nodded. "Alright, we'll be waiting."

"Thank you," Geo ran off in the direction of Ranger Ops, holding the dart in his hand for safety measures. I hope I can get there soon.

~PRAG~

Kay was sitting outside of the school with Nate, deciding that they would hang out and study for a bit more even after the tutoring center closed. As the two sat there, Kay knelt down to pick something up and was shocked to see a dart hit the ground next to her. She stood up straight and looked in the direction it came, as did Nate, only to see Veenom walked ominously towards the two.

"Nate, you should run," She told him, keeping her eyes on Veenom as she turned her head back towards him.

Nate frowned. "And why is that? To leave you here to die? I can help you."

Kay almost rolled her eyes. "I doubt that," She pushed him back a bit. "Go, please."

Veenom walked closer and stopped ten feet away from the two. "Two for the price of one, huh? Perfect."

"We both know you only want..." Kay paused as she looked back at Nate, before taking a deep breath and continuing. "Power rangers, Veenom! Let Nate go!"

Veenom laughed. "Oh, pink ranger, how naive. I don't care who is a power ranger or who isn't. I want to kill everyone."

Kay pulled her pendant off. "We'll see about that. Animal Guardians, Arise! Power of the Flamingo!"

Nate stood and watched her as she pulled out her sword and ran forward. Even from the get go, it was very obvious how outmatched she was against just Veenom. He was a very experienced fighter, and always had it out for humans from the get go.

Kay kicked up at Veenom's face, but due to her small stature and his large one, she only made it to his chest and was pushed down easily in the process. She flipped back up to her feet and punched up with one hand and stabbed her sword at his abdomen with the other. Veenom dropped his scythe and weapons and grabbed both of her hands, twisting them out and pushing her down to her knees.

"Shall I break them?" He asked, smirking.

"I don't think so," Nate growled, a silver light shining from under his top.

Veenom and Kay both looked at him as he pulled out a glowing pendant with a lion on it. They stared in shock, watching as he pulled it off and shoved it in a morpher of his own.

"Animal Guardians, Arise!" He called as silver and black dust began to surround his body. "Power of the Lion!"

Nate stood there, fully morphed and staring angrily at Veenom. His suit was similar to the other guys, except his suit had a lion on his helmet, and had a full silver chest plate covering the white part of his suit. His suit was also majorily a dark gray shade with only his chest plate being silver. The chest plate also had a larger version of his pendant on the front.

Kay almost smiled, though she was still very shocked. She honestly never would've guessed. "Nate," She laughed in relief. "You're a ranger."

Veenom kicked Kay away from him and rounded on Nate, who pulled a large hammer-type weapon off of his belt and pointed it at Veenom, "You're going down, Veenom. It's the end of the line."

"We'll see about that." Veenom growled, picking up his scythe as Nate ran at him.

Nate slammed his hammer down, and Veenom held up his scythe to block the hammer, but, surprisingly, the scythe broke under the force of the weapon, causing Veenom to stumble back and stare at his weapon in shock.

The silver ranger smirked, putting his hammer on his shoulder as he watched Veenom. The villain threw his scythe down on anger and growled at Nate. "You stupid little ranger!" He bellowed. "I will destroy you personally!"

Nate pulled the front of his hammer back as Veenom began to run at him, turning it into a blaster to throw the alien back. Veenom stared up at Nate as he held the hammer, back in it's original formation, and walked close to him.

Veenom attempted to reach his darts, but Nate kicked them away. "So, I guess we did see about it." Nate looked around and sighed, seeing all of Veenom's weapons gone and him laying on the ground defenseless. He could destroy him right here, but it just seemed too easy. "What's your game, anyways? I didn't think you'd give up this easily."

"I guess you've caught me red-handed, silver ranger." Veenom chuckled. "Go ahead and destroy me, because I'll just come back stronger."

Kay stood up behind Nate and gasped, while Nate stared for a moment. "You're lying."

"Try me."

Nate raised his weapon, and was about to bring it down when Kay stopped him. "He could be right, Nate. We have come up with a better strategy. If he comes back stronger and stronger every time we kill him, we'll never win." She told him.

Veenom smirked. "Your girlfriend's right," He hissed. "But if you want, take a swing."

Nate brought his weapon down to the side of him, smashing all of the poison darts Veenom had. "No!" The alien yelled as Nate put his hammer back at his belt and shook his head.

"I suggest you leave for a while, because, if we see you again, we will destroy you, no matter what you say." Nate growled as he and Kay took off in the direction of the command center.

~PRAG~

Much later that day, the rangers all decided to meet back at Ranger Ops, Geo having gone to the hospital to check on Noah and the others recovering a bit more to be back at full strength.

They all sat in the living room, and Geo came back, sighing as he sat down on the couch. "The police questioned me, and then I saw Noah. He looks really bad, and they said they don't know when he's going to wake up or anything."

"I hope he'll be okay," Cal rubbed a hand on Geo's back. "I know how it is to have something happen to a father, and it's hard."

"We're all here for you, Geo," Tanzo nodded. "Whatever you need, friend, you got it."

The others nodded.

"Thanks guys," Geo smiled with pursed lips.

There was a moment of awkward silence, before Kay broke it. "Okay, I know this is bad timing, but this is Nate. The silver ranger."

They all turned to them in shock, and Nate smiled. "Yeah, I'm Nathan Giles. It's nice to finally meet the rest of you."

"It's nice to meet you too," Ada shook his hand. "I'm Ada, and I'm new too. Crimson ranger."

"I'm Tanzo," The yellow ranger waved at him with a welcoming smile. "The yellow ranger.

"Roger," Roger nodded at him. "Black ranger, and second-in-command. Proudly so," He said, looking down with a slight smile. I don't need anyone's opinions. I am proud to be second.

"I'm Callie, but you can call me Cal," Cal smiled. "I'm blue."

Geo shook his hand as well. "Geo, the red ranger, and leader. Welcome to the team, Nate."

Next time on Power Rangers Animal Guardians: Ada reveals she knows of another ranger who just moved into town, the teal ranger, who makes his first appearance in a fight against a new monster, Skunk, who's spray is toxic.

Next chapter title: Teal Ranger

The next chapter is the end of this arc, and will tie up all loose ends that you probably found throughout this chapter.

Oh, if you don't read my other story or haven't voted yet, there is a poll on my profile that you might like.
