Chapter 24: Grant Vs Grant
At a hotel room, Irene frowns as she is in the same room as her parents and there is not much privacy. Ever since the police stormed to their house to discover that someone sound the house alarm because of a breaking out instead of breaking in. She has a feeling that Frankie must have escaped from the house while she was at school and her parents was at work. 'Ugh, with Frankie escaped from the house, I can't even get to her again. No matter, I know that she is related to those Grant twins. I think it is time to put them against each other for once'. Irene thought to herself as she comes up with a plan.
"Mother, may I go take a walk around town. I promise it would take too long". Irene said to her mom. She is trying to hide her true intentions from her overbearing mother.
"Of course dear, make sure you call us every twenty minutes to let us know where you are". The wife said to Irene. She wants to be in full contact with Irene at all times.
Irene sighs as she hears the cardinal rule. "Yes mother", Irene said to her mom as she is deeply suffocated by her mother's overbearing ways. She grabs her phone and handbag.
"This is for your own good honey. You know this right". The wife said to Irene. She has that look on her face.
Irene looks at her mom as she is hiding the eye roll. "Yes mom", Irene said to her mom as she leaves the hotel room. She is fed up with her mom as she is a graduating senior with plans to go to college far away from her parents.
The husband sighs as he is getting the feeling that Irene is being suffocated by the overbearing ways. "Regina, Irene is about to turn 18 years old. You can't be overbearing on her still. She is going to push away from you eventually". The husband said to the woman named Regina.
Regina turns to her husband as she shakes her head to him. "Anthony no, we can't let our daughter to far away. We have to know where she is at all times and close. Why else we forced her to quit the part time job. The last thing we need is another missing child like the Trooper girls and that girl in Milky Way who recently vanished. Plus don't get me started on our own son who vanished three years ago". Regina said to the husband named Anthony.
Anthony sighs as he pinches the bridge of his nose. "Regina, it wasn't Irene's fault that Truman vanished. She wanted to get that job for extra money. Ever since Truman vanished, we have taken away a lot of things from Irene that she used to have like a social life, a job, and privacy. This is not good for her, and it is our fault for pushing Irene to constantly talk to us about things that she doesn't want to talk to us about. Plus ever since the Grant's got their son back, you have been really jealous toward them for gaining the attention to have him back". Anthony said to Regina.
Regina frowns as she glares at Anthony. "That is not true Anthony, I just want my daughter to be safe at all times. I just don't understand how and why Issac came back. He must have saw something about Truman's disappearance as well". Regina said to Anthony.
Anthony gives a look to Regina as he notice the phone ringing. It has Irene as the Caller ID. "Having a safe child is one thing but overbearing is not very becoming as a parent". Anthony said to Regina. Regina looks at Anthony as she takes the call. 'I rest my case'. Anthony thought to himself as he watches some television.
In a neighborhood, Irene frowns as she walk towards the Grace residence. She spots Issac heading towards the house. "What is he doing at that house". Irene said to herself as she grabs the pink morphor out. She decides to hide behind a fence as she is getting the full conversation.
In the backyard, Amy sighs as she sees Issac coming outside. "Amy, I need to ask you something. My sister is getting worried about our cousin Frankie. It is hitting hard especially on her even when I disappeared three years ago. How can I comfort her that she will be found"? Issac ask Amy.
Amy is in shock as she looks at Issac. "What, this is awful news Izz. This whole mess is my fault since Irene has my morphor and blackmailing me to stay away from you and the others. If I didn't give in to her, the others wouldn't have gotten the Irene treatment. Plus Frankie would be at home with her big family". Amy said to Isabelle.
Issac looks at Amy as she shakes her head to her. "It is not your fault Amy. There is no way that you could have known about Irene's plans are. Besides, we have grown much stronger through the crap that she has tried to break us up from within. Plus I have faith in you that you can do the same". Issac said to Amy as she gives her a piece of paper.
Amy looks at the piece of paper as she sees the hidden message. 'Your morphor is back at our headquarters. Frankie pulled the bait and switch'. "Thanks Izz maybe it will give me the courage to come back to the group". Amy said to Issac. She has a grin on face as she learns that her morphor is back at the headquarters and also learns that Frankie did a huge bait and switch to get it back.
Irene frowns as the two of them are talking about Frankie. She remembers that Issac was the former leader of the team. 'Let's see how the Grant siblings like it to be put against each other'. Irene thought to herself. She hears her phone going off as it is her mother. "Shit", Irene said to herself as she quickly gets away.
Amy frowns as she hears the phone going off. "Is someone out there"? Amy asks out there as she is not sure if it is a prowler or someone else entirely.
Issac shrugs as he hears it as well. "I heard too but I can't tell who it is". Issac said to Amy. He is getting the feeling that someone was listening to their conversation.
Irene frowns as it was her mother asking why she didn't check in at a minute ago. "I missed it by a minute and she is getting on to me". Irene said to herself as she thinks of a plan to get to the both of the Grant siblings. She is heading back to the hotel room as she got ordered to.
At the evil headquarters, A special beast has been selected by Obatikin as Archeron is taking a glance over it. "This is a great choice to send out against the rangers. Plus they have let their guard down sense we haven't launched attacks against them in the last few days". Obatikin said to Archeron.
Archeron nods as he notices a strange black dot on the map. It is starting to appear on the map in the last few days. "That maybe true Obatikin, however it is this black dot on the map that is troubling me. Not only Atticus did truly escape, but his crystal also went with him. It also means that his chosen one is in the human town. It will not be long until this person who represents the black dot will become a ranger like those other human Rangers. This ranger will become a bigger threat once he or she joins the team". Archeron said to Obatikin.
Obatikin looks at Archeron as he still knows that there is a fake pink ranger with the rangers. "Perhaps we should bring another powerful beast on them when the time comes that the black dot gets his morphor". Obatikin said to Archeron.
Archeron grins as he turns to Obatikin. "Yes, that way the newly morphed black ranger will be so overwhelmed that he will be defeated first". Archeron said to Obatikin as a new plan is forming.
The next day, the teens are heading into the school. Irene frowns as she spots Isabelle as she has a vindictive expression on her face. She waits for Isabelle be alone as she watches her with the others. As the opportunity comes up, Irene sees Isabelle heading down the hallway.
"Isabelle Grant, you are just the person I want to see". Irene said to Isabelle. She says it in almost sweet tone. It is like she wants to be a buddy to her.
Isabelle frowns as she gives a look to Irene. "Yeah but you are not the person that I want to see". Isabelle said to Irene as she is in no mood to talk to her.
"You know Isabelle, Issac is plotting to become the leader of the group. I saw him heading to Amy's house and talked about how you were being a bad leader. He even shared his concerns with the others. They are getting tired of your leadership". Irene said to Isabelle.
Isabelle frowns as she looks at Irene. "That is a lie and you know it. Where is my cousin Frankie"? Isabelle asks Irene as she knows that she has something to with her disappearance.
Irene rolls her eyes at Isabelle as she is continuing to deny it. "How would I know where she is? Besides, your friends are planning to make Issac the leader and kick you off the team". Irene said to Isabelle as the bell is ring to get to class.
Isabelle frowns as she learns that Irene is trying to get to her. 'Am I that bad of a leader? No, she is trying to get to me like she has with the others'. Isabelle thought to herself as the words has gotten to her.
As the day progresses, Issac sighs as he thinks about Frankie and the conversation that he had with Amy. "Why did you meet with Amy behind your leader's back"? Irene asks Issac. She is confronting him as she has that vindictive expression on her face.
Issac frowns as he gives her a skeptical expression. "Excuse me, who I meet with is none of your business". Issac said to Irene. He has his arms crossed as he gives her a look.
Irene rolls her eyes as she gives him a look. "You must have missed the new rules that no one from the team can ever speak to Amy again. After all, Amy left on her own choice and decision. Isabelle couldn't handle her decision and now punishing everyone on the team who even talks to her". Irene said to Issac.
Issac frowns as he doesn't buy that at all. "I don't know where you heard that, but it is a lie like the other lies that you told the others". Issac said to Irene. He is not having her getting to him.
Irene frowns as it is a lot harder to get to him like she thought. "Oh yeah, Isabelle said in quote, Issac should have stayed away from home a lot longer. Having him home again just pushes me back into the background just like before. I heard her saying that to Ellie just before lunch". Irene said to Issac.
The bell rings as various students are coming out from the classroom. Issac is stunned as he never thought that Isabelle would say that about him behind his back. "Don't worry Issac, there are other people that didn't and still doesn't you back either like those other friends of yours". Irene said to Issac.
Issac frowns as the words hurts him. He looks down on himself as he walks away. The teens turn as they spot him walking down the hall. "Oh no, why is Issac feeling down"? Chris asks them as he is getting the bad feeling that Irene got to him.
Ellie frowns as she is getting that same feeling as well. "Yeah plus I saw Isabelle feeling worse as well. There is no doubt in my mind that Irene got to her too". Ellie said to them.
Arlen and Rodney look at each other as this is really bad. "Do you think she is trying to put them against each other? I mean they are twins". Rodney said to them.
"I got a bad feeling that she is trying to". Arlen said to them. The teens frown as they need to get Isabelle and Issac through the lying crap that Irene put them through.
At the headquarters, the teens are in training as things are tense between the Grant siblings. They are giving each other glaring almost dagger like looks. It is very frightening towards the other rangers. "What's wrong with you two? It is like a full blown argument is about to start". Ellie said to the both of them.
Isabelle turns to Ellie as she glares at Issac. "Do you actually think that I am a bad leader? Am I really that bad enough to remove me and you take over the leader of the team"? Isabelle asks Issac.
Issac is stunned as he looks at Isabelle. "What, you are never a bad leader Izzy. How come I got told that I should have stayed away? You even said that with you being back, you got pushed back into the background. You were telling Ellie about it". Issac said to Isabelle.
Isabelle is in shock by the strange allegations. "What I have never said that to Ellie. I heard that you talked to Amy to discuss about how bad of a leader that I am". Isabelle said to Issac.
Issac is taken back by this as he glares at Isabelle. "What, yes I spoken to Amy but it wasn't about you being a bad leader. I gave her word that her morphor being safe here at the headquarters. Apparently, I missed some sort of memo that there is a ban on even talking to or speaking about Amy made by you. Apparently ever since Amy quit, you had a ban on even talking to her". Issac said to Isabelle.
Isabelle is stunned as she gives a harsh glare at Issac. "A ban on talking to and speaking about Amy, that is ridiculous Issac. I have never said anything about a rule like that and you know it". Isabelle said to them.
The teens frown as Ellie pulls Isabelle back while Chris pulls Issac back. "Guys calm down, Rodney said to them. The twins are glaring at each other.
Isabelle feels deeply hurt as she gives Issac a glare. "If you guys think I am a bad leader, maybe Issac should become the leader of the team instead of me". Isabelle said to them. She runs off crying as she leaves the headquarters.
Daranten and his children are stunned as they look at them. "Rangers why is there so much arguing about"? Daranten asks them as he is dismayed by it.
"Apparently both Issac and Isabelle got bad information about each other today. Then Isabelle left the headquarters crying about it". Arlen said to them.
The family looks at Issac as he looks down on himself. "I have to admit that Isabelle is a true natural born leader, and she is better than I was when I was the leader of the team. Ever since I joined the team, I notice how well Isabelle took charge of the team. It took me some trial and error when I was the leader, and to be honest with all of you I am jealous of her". Issac said to them.
The teens are stunned as they learn that Issac is actually jealous of his own sister. "I never guessed that you are jealous of your twin sister Issac. Plus who gave you that bad information anyways"? Ellie asks Issac.
Issac looks down on himself as everyone wants to know. "Irene told me all of it. I didn't want to believe it, and yet she got to me like she did with all of you". Issac said to them. He is angry that he let some girl get to him.
Rodney looks at Issac as he sighs to him. "If Irene was the one that said those things to you, she probably said things to Isabelle as well. She wanted to put the two of you against each other". Rodney said to Issac.
Issac sighs as Chris nods in agreement. "She probably saved you and Izzy last for a lot of reasons. She probably knew that Frankie is your cousin and with that disappearance she used it to her advantage to make you and Izzy down even more". Chris said to Issac.
Arlen thinks about it as it makes sense to him now. "That make sense to me guys. Plus Irene tried to get to each one of us and saved the two of you last because you are more than Rangers. It is because the two of you are siblings". Arlen said to Issac.
Issac nods as he looks at them. "You guys are probably right. I remember the first time that I fought against the Zincods. I brought Izzy with me to help. However as the battle was getting moving, I notice that it was Izzy that was taking charge more quickly than I was. Even though I became the leader of the team back then, it felt like I was in the wrong ranger position. Even though I was wearing red and being a leader, I felt like my ranger role on the team was wrong. Now that I am the gold ranger, my position on the team and my ranger role is truly correct like it should have been all along". Issac said to them.
As Daranten is about to say something, the alarms are going off. The teens frown as they look at the monitors as they spot a monster attacking at the park. Plus Isabelle and the fake pink ranger is already there. "Crap, Isabelle needs us now. Plus we need to morph now to cover our identities from the fake pink ranger". Ellie said to them.
The teens nod as they look at Ellie. They grab their morphors out as they are ready to fight. "Ellie is right guys. We can't risk the fake pink ranger or even Irene see us". Rodney said to them. Issac nods as he knows that Ellie is the second in command and Rodney is the brains of the team.
"I am with Rodney plus it maybe that Irene and the fake pink ranger are the one and the same". Chris said to them. He is stepping forward as he has the muscles of the team.
"Yeah plus if they are one and the same, she has gone so far to hurt each one of us and that includes Amy". Arlen said to them as he has the underdog of the team.
Issac nods as he notices that each member of the team is getting back together in more ways than one. He is getting the feeling that Amy is the tough girl of the team. "Let's do this guys", Issac said to them as he has the big brother role on the team.
"Mystic Warriors Power Rangers", the teens yells out loud as they morph into ranger form. They head out to the battle. 'Hold on Izzy, we are coming'. Issac thought to himself.
At the park, Isabelle frowns as she spots the beast roaring and firing beams at her and at the fake pink ranger. She is trying to lead the ranger. However, fake pink ranger insisting on being the true leader. The Zincods are not making things easier for them either as they are pushing the both of them around. "Ugh, you should have accepted that I am the true leader and you will always be a hindrance to rest of the team". The pink ranger said to Isabelle as she purposely pushed her to the ground.
The beast monster laughs as it fires beams at Isabelle. Isabelle frowns as she is not quick enough to dodge the beam. As she gets hit, Isabelle is sent flying even further. She doesn't know if she is going to crash land to the ground. She doesn't know if someone is going to catch her in time. She screams as she is about to hit the ground hard.
"I got you". The gold ranger said to Isabelle as she lands into her brother's arms. She is startled and a bit caught off guard. She looks around as her teammates arrive as they are returning fire on the beast and Zincods.
"You caught me in time, but why? You should have let me crash to the ground". Isabelle asks her brother as she feels bad about arguing with him.
The gold ranger looks into Isabelle's eyes as their visors open up. "Irene is the one that said those things to me. If I have to guess, she was the one that said those things to you am I right". The gold ranger said to Isabelle.
Isabelle looks into Issac's eyes as she looks down on her self. "Yeah, I didn't buy it, and at the same time it is how she said it that got to me. I remembered that you were the leader at one point, and when you were listening to the others and giving them advice like a leader does, it made me wonder if you were actually trying to take over again". Isabelle said to Issac.
Issac shakes his head to Isabelle as he gives her a small frown. "No, to be honest with you Izzy, when I joined the team, I notice how you were a natural born leader that you are. Even when I dragged you to fight the Zincods three years ago, you were the one that took the lead in the battle. I was actually jealous on how you are a natural born leader and I wasn't. This whole time that I have been on the team I have been wondering what my true role of the team actually is". Issac said to Isabelle.
Isabelle is stunned as she realizes that her brother was actually jealous of her. "You were jealous of me this whole time. Do you know what your true role of the team is now"? Isabelle asks Issac.
Issac nods as he looks at Isabelle. "Yes, I am the big brother of the team. I may not be the leader but I am the one with all of the advice". Issac said to Isabelle.
The beast monster is continuing to fire beams at the others. The fake pink ranger frowns as she notices how the red and gold rangers are getting back to the same page. She notice that she can't stay in her ranger form for much longer. "WHAT, YOU TWO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS". The fake pink ranger yells at the red and gold rangers. She is about to fire blasters from her main weapon at Isabelle and Issac.
However all the sudden, a black shield with the Mystic Warriors symbol protects the Grant Twins as it got redirected back to the fake pink ranger. It shocks the rangers as they have no idea where it came from.
The fake pink ranger gets hit as she lands on the ground. "NONE OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF ME". The ranger said to them as she takes off.
As the shield vanishes, Isabelle and Issac look at each other as they are ready to finish this. Issac and Isabelle are glowing in bright gold and red respectively as they glare at the beast monster. They are holding hands as they are uniting their powers. "Flame of the Phoenix", Isabelle yells out loud. "Soul of the Dragon", Issac yells out loud.
"Mystic Combination", Isabelle and Issac yells out loud as they are combining their powers for the first time.
The rangers are stunned as they see the Phoenix and the Dragon swirling together as it charges in towards the beast monster.
The beast monster is stunned as the attack lands on it directly. It explodes as it yells at the rangers. "There are lot more of me where I come from rangers". The beast monster yells at them as it is destroyed in front of them.
The rangers look at each other as they are a bit confused on what just happened. "Is it just me or did we witness something that we haven't seen before"? Arlen asks them as he is completely baffled by it.
Chris looks at them as he is trying to process it. "It is not just you Arlen. I saw it as well". Chris said to them as he is processing it like his fellow green ranger.
Isabelle and Issac are exhausted as they demorph back to their civilian form. As they pass out, both Ellie and Rodney catches them in time. "What ever it was, it must have taken a lot out of the both of them". Rodney said to them.
Ellie nods as she looks at the rest of the team. "We need to get them back to the headquarters". Ellie said to them. She and the rest of the teens nod when they hear a voice.
"Excuse me, are you the Mystic Warriors Rangers of Earth"? A male voice said to them. He appears to be exhausted like the red and gold rangers.
The rangers are stunned as they see a strange individual coming forward. The notice that the man is wearing a black cladded outfit with the Mystic Warriors symbol on it. "Who are you anyways"? Rodney asks the strange man.
"Rangers take him along with you to the headquarters. I shall explain everything to you". Daranten said to them. The rangers are stunned as they realize that the being is known to Daranten as they teleport back to the headquarters.
Back at the headquarters, the teens are in their civilian forms as Isabelle and Issac are resting as they see the male being with Daranten. "Who are you anyways"? Isabelle asks the being as she is a bit confused by his arrival.
The man nods as he looks at the teens. "My presence here has caught all of you off guard. I assure you that I am one of the original Mystic Warrior Guardians Of Florti. My name is Atticus the chosen one of the black crystal. My powers is based on darkness, clouds, and shadows. I have escaped from the evil master's headquarters with my crystal. I have detected my true chosen one in your town". Atticus said to them.
The teens look at Atticus as they learn about him. "You were the one that was held captive by Archeron after the battle on Florti and again after the battle on Cray". Issac said to Atticus.
Atticus looks at Issac as he heard the young gold ranger said the evil master's name. "You must be the one of the few warriors of the light and justice that has the courage and bravery to say his evil name. Allicitia was the first one who has done it. I will always be grateful for what she done for me by freeing me from the evil master's control of the black crystal". Atticus said to them.
Arlen nods as he looks at Atticus. "Why did the evil master wanted to control of your black crystal though"? Arlen asks Atticus. He is a bit confused about it.
Atticus turns to Arlen as he is reminded of the green warrior before him. "If a Mystic Warrior crystal is in the wrong hands, they can get started with unlocking the full capabilities of the crystal. With my crystal, the evil master used it to create an evil black crystal. It ultimately weakened me as I remained a prisoner at that place. However when the pink ranger morphed for the first time, I felt her strength and light healing me. As I got stronger, I was able to regain control of my own black crystal. It was how I was able to escape from that place. However recently, I gotten weaker again and I had to remain hidden from being recaptured again. That's when I realized that someone must have gotten the pink Mystic Warriors morphor from the true pink Ranger's hands". Atticus said to them.
The teens look at each other as they sense that Atticus is telling the truth. "That would explain why that faker took off before demorphing back to her civilian form during the battle". Chris said to Atticus.
"Yes, all of you must find my chosen one. He alone can make the decision to join the team. He has to find it in his heart to join the team". Atticus said to them. His knees buckled as he collapses to the floor. His eyes rolls back as his physical body is gone. All is left of Atticus is his worn and torn clothes.
"Did he passed away"? Issac asks Daranten as they are confused on what just happened. The teens nod as they were not expecting this to happen at all.
Daranten sighs as he looks at them. "Yes Atticus has passed away. His body must have given up from the torture that he has been through over the years by the hands of the evil master. I am the only original member of the Mystic Warrior Guardians of Florti". Daranten said to them. The teens look at each other as they learn that they have to find Atticus's chosen one.
A black morphor is glowing in a bright black color as it greets each to the Rangers. They are amazed by it dancing in a positive way and spirit. A Manticore comes up as it has the moonlight symbol of the Mystic Warriors. "Woah amazing", Isabelle said to them. The teens nod as they admire it.
Meanwhile, up in the mountains between Milky Way and Walkerton, Frankie sighs as she has to keep moving and finding a new safe spot to hide. She feels a negative energy wave coming from the patch that she made. She collapses to her knees as she has to wait for the pain to pass through. 'That witch must have morphed in a ranger battle today'. Frankie thought to herself. As the pain subsides, Frankie struggles to stand up once more. As she keeps moving, Frankie trips over a tree root as she takes a tumble down a steep hill.
Frankie screams as she is getting scrapes on her body. She lands on the bottom of the hill as she is very dizzy and exhausted. She tries to stand up again. Her head is pounding as she notices something in the distance. As she takes a step forward, she collapses to the ground as her ankle and knee are swollen. "What is that"? Frankie said to herself as she passed out in the middle of nowhere.
