Chapter 24: Quentin's Quest for Justice
At the Evil Tower, Ivano is reading the manuscripts on the machines that scanned Stella's eyes and the machines needed for the Black Diamond Cell. "Looks like I have rebuild these machine". Ivano said to himself as it is not very hard to do.
Diamanda walks in the room as she has gotten a good look at the potential candidate to become evil. "I may have found the perfect person to kidnap to become evil, father". Diamanda said to Ivano.
Ivano glances at his daughter as he gets intrigued by it. "What makes it the perfect person"? Ivano asks Diamanda.
Diamanda shows the picture of Jill to him. "I just need to interrogate the ranger ghosts to confirm it". Diamanda said to Ivano. Ivano nods as he lets her go to the ghost vault.
In the ghost vault, the ghosts of the veteran power rangers frown as they see Diamanda returning. "What do you want now"? A ranger ghost asks Diamanda.
Diamanda places a picture of the woman on the wall. "Sooner or later, I will find out who this woman is and how she is related to one of the rangers". Diamanda said to them.
Another ranger ghost glares at Diamanda as it went up to her. "You already kidnaped my descendant and now you are going after another person". The ghost said to Diamanda.
Another ghost easily recognizes the woman and how she is related to Ryder. He sighs as he remembers how she and her boyfriend abandoned their son. He can not betray her. "Stay away from her", the male ghost said to Diamanda.
Diamanda looks at the male ghost as she has an evil smirk on her face. "You must know something about her besides her name being Jill". Diamanda said to the male ghost.
The male ghost grits his teeth as Diamanda already knows the woman's name. "How dare you. You will not get anything out from me". The male ghost said to Diamanda.
Diamanda laughs at the ranger ghosts. "I will find out regardless". Diamanda said to them as she left the room.
As Ivano is about to pick another figurine, Neo Darcel walks in the room. "Just as suspected father, the ranger ghosts are being silent about the woman named Jill. I would like to battle these new rangers Diamanda said to Ivano as she left the Evil Tower.
At Quentin's house, Quentin is doing some homework as he looks at a picture of the Statue of Liberty on the page. He can not stop thinking about Neo Darcel stealing the energy from his teammates. 'Why is she stealing our ranger energy? Plus who is Neo Darcel underneath the helmet'? Quentin asks himself. All the sudden, Quentin looks like he is about to go into a trance as he is having a strange daydream.
Day dream
Quentin looks around as he is in a heavenly courtroom. He is not the one on trial as he notices a person sitting on the judge's chair facing the wall. "Quentin, your quest for justice for the Earth will now begin". A female voice said to Quentin.
Quentin is caught off guard by the voice. "Who are you? I want to see your face". Quentin said out there. He looks around as the judge's chair turns to face him.
Quentin sees a woman sitting on the chair. "I am Liberty the Guardian of the Orange Unity Crystal of Justice. Quentin, I know that you have some important questions that needs to be answered especially about Neo Darcel". The woman named Liberty said to Quentin.
Quentin nods to Liberty as those questions are on the front of his mind. "Yes I do have those questions about Neo Darcel". Quentin said to Liberty.
Liberty looks at Quentin as she has a stern look on her face. "Just like the original Darcel, Neo Darcel is being used by the one that gave her the dark Unity Crystal. The energies that Neo Darcel is being used to bring back two things that will be very challenging to your teammates. One of those things is an evil spirit of a being who has terrorized, tortured, and haunted the ancestor of the red ranger on the team". Liberty said to Quentin.
Quentin frowns as this is referring to Stella and Ryder. "Who is this being"? Quentin asks Liberty. He is getting concerned about it.
Liberty looks at Quentin. "This being was Tir. Long ago when the Unity Force Rangers were saving the world, Tir was working for the evil Queen Omitrix, but he has found out more things that the evil queen failed to tell him about. When he learned these things, he also learned about Diamanda's plan to get the original Darcel back to the evil side. The sudden twist is when the purple ranger sticked with the rangers, Tir sacrificed himself to save the purple ranger. He was redeemed by the rangers for his actions to save the purple ranger. However it is Diamanda that ultimately ended Tir's life. In order for you to earn your Star Piece, you have to fight against Diamanda and prevent Neo Darcel from stealing energy from Ryder". Liberty said to Quentin as the daydream ends.
End Day Dream
Quentin looks like he is still out of it. His twin brother Winston walks in the room. "Wow, I never thought I would to see the day that my brother is day dreaming about something other than being the center of attention". Winston said as he mostly wear black clothes.
Winston notices that Quentin is still out of it. "Earth to golden boy come in", Winston said as he grabs an ice cube as he puts it down Quentin's shirt.
It is not long that Quentin snaps out from his deep fog as the ice cube does the trick. "What was that for Winston"? Quentin asks Winston.
Winston shrugs as he looks at Quentin. "You were really out of it. Did someone put you under a trance or something"? Winston asks Quentin.
Quentin rolls his eyes as he can not explain to his twin brother about being a ranger. "Something like that", Quentin said to Winston. Winston rolls his eyes at his brother as he goes on his way to hang out with his friends.
Quentin sighs as he wonders how he will get the relationship with his brother back to what it use to be. 'Oh Winston, if only you knew that I still care about you'. Quentin thought to himself. He grabs the book with red, gold, and orange bands on it. As he is starting to read it, Quentin flip over to the Unity Force section. He learns that Jason had a lot of hardships and struggles being a father, mentor, and ranger. "Wow, he must have juggled a lot of things". Quentin thought to himself as he continue reading that he raised Stella and adopted Luna and Ester as teenagers.
Quentin looks at the book as he thinks about Ryder, Brandon, and Artemis. "Jason must have cared about his daughters very deeply and fought along side them against the evil force back then. Plus on top of that, Jason was the very first red power ranger. How am I suppose to live up to him"? Quentin asks himself as he has a new concern about living up to Jason's ranger legacy.
That night, everyone is either asleep or working during the night time hours. Diamanda notices the City Hall as she is getting information on Jill. She sneaks in quietly as she went to the records room. Diamanda went to a computer as she uses her powers to get everything. Diamanda has a devious smile on her face as she knows everything from where she lives and works. 'Everything is going according to plan'. Diamanda thought to herself as she destroys the computer in the room. She sneaks out from the building as she resets the alarm with her powers like no one was even there.
The next morning, as everyone is heading to work, the workers in CityHall is walking in to a huge surprise to see one computer being heavily destroyed. They have no idea that someone bust in the CityHall and did it.
At Angel Grove High, the teens notice Quentin as he looked like he barely slept at all. "Geez man, you should have stayed home from school today". Carter said to Quentin.
Quentin looks at them as his clothes is less than neat and tidy. His hair is mostly disheveled as it is sticking out all over. Plus he has a cup of coffee in his hands. "I really did not sleep that well. I had a strange dream. I did meet Jason in the dream, but I felt something was really wrong like someone broke the law. I do not know how to explain it". Quentin said to them.
The teens look at each other as Kelsea looks at him as she is supporting him. "That is defiantly strange", Monty said to Quentin.
Quentin looks at them as he has something else to tell them. "Not only that, I also gotten a day dream about how I can earn my Unity Force Star Piece and other things". Quentin said to them.
Melissa looks at Quentin as she is curious about the other things. "What kind of things"? Melissa asks Quention as this gets everyone's interest.
Quentin looks at them as he sighs as he glances to Lina. "It is about Neo Darcel. She is being used to do Diamanda's dirty work just like she did to the original Darcel". Quentin said to them. He is puzzled about the actual identity of Neo Darcel.
The teens look at each other as it is puzzling as well. "It would explain why she is so interested in fighting you, Lina". Luke said to Lina.
Lina looks at them as she is conflicted about it. "Yeah but she is stealing ranger energy from us. Plus we do not even know what she is going to do with them". Lina said to them.
Artemis looks at Quentin as she is wondering about it. "Are you going to call out on Neo Darcel on being used by Diamanda"? Artemis asks Quentin.
Quentin looks at them as the choice is clear. "Yes, I will call it out on them". Quentin said to them. He has a determined look on his face.
Brandon looks at Quentin as this could be a risky move. "Are you sure about this Quentin? It is a risky move". Brandon said to Quentin.
Tess nods in agreement as this is a risky move. "It is defiantly very risky". Tess said to Quentin.
Quentin nods to Brandon and Tess as his mind is made up on it. "Yes, if it gets out there to Neo Darcel, she may freeze up on it, and hopefully she will start to think about what she is doing". Quentin said to them. He hopes that the freeze on Neo Darcel to make her stop and think about what she is doing.
Brandon nods as he hopes Quentin knows what he is doing. "Alright but you need to talk to Ryder about it". Brandon said to Quentin. Quentin nods as he plans to talk to Ryder even more about it.
After school, the teens are at the Oasis as they training. Quentin notices Ryder punching at a punching bag. He glances at Brandon and Artemis doing some special training with their ranger ancestors.
Quentin walks up to the leader. "Hey Ryder can we talk"? Quentin asks Ryder. Ryder looks at Quentin as he has something on his mind. "Sure", Ryder said to Quentin.
The other teens notice Quentin and Ryder going to talk in private.
Ryder and Quentin are climbing up the ranger family tree as they went to the Jason Lee Scott tree branch. "Hey Ryder, do you wish to get justice for what Abbinus did to you"? Quentin asks Ryder.
Ryder looks at Quentin as this is a question that he has not thought as much. "Yeah, to be honest, I would like the Lore Keeper Rangers to destroy Abbinus once and for once. When they do destroy her, I will feel better knowing that someone has harmed me is truly gone. It actually scares me if another evil being does come out to create huge harm to me or any of the others". Ryder said to Quentin. He has bright orange and dark red about his fears.
Quentin nods as he looks at Ryder. "Ryder if another being does come out to create huge harm to you, you know that we will be there to fight it". Quentin said to Ryder.
Ryder nods as he looks at Quentin. "I know", Ryder said to Quentin. He sighs as he is calming down about it.
Quentin looks at Ryder as he has another thing on his mind. "Ryder, I have a sneaky suspicion that Neo Darcel is being used to do Diamanda's dirty work. I am going to call her out on it". Quentin said to Ryder.
Ryder looks at Quentin as he is surprised by it. He also concerned about it. His eyes are bright orange as it shows that he is telling the truth. "I do hope you know what you are doing. It is a risky move Quentin, but I will support it". Ryder said to Quentin.
Quentin nods as he smiles at Ryder. Just as he says something to the red ranger, the alarm is going off as it is louder than usual. They rush to the monitors as they see Diamanda and Neo Darcel. The teens frown as Diamanda makes an appearance to the battle.
Ryder frowns as this will be an intense battle. "Lets go", Ryder said to them. The teens are heading out to downtown Angel Grove.
In downtown Angel Grove, everyone is running in fear as Diamanda and Neo Darcel are launching their attack along with the SHUMD. As the teens got to the scene, they grab out their morphers. "Star Descendants Online", the teens said in unison as they morph into ranger form.
Diamanda smirks as she looks at them. "This will be a lot of fun". Diamanda said to them. She launches the attack on the rangers as she grabs her sword out.
As the fight gets started, Quentin is going at it with Neo Darcel. Diamanda glares at the rangers as she is really going at it on them. "It is great to be alive again". Diamanda said as she is throwing rapid fire of fireballs at the rangers. The Rangers dodges the fire balls as this is getting an intense fight.
Neo Darcel looks at Dual Ranger as the purple ranger is fighting with her teammates against the SHUMD. "Get out of my way Dual Ranger. The purple ranger is who I want to fight". Neo Darcel said to Quentin.
Quentin frowns as he dodges the blows from Neo Darcel. "Not today Neo Darcel, you are dealing with me whether you like it or not". Quentin said as slashes his star sword at Neo Darcel.
Neo Darcel catches the blade as her hands are turning metallic silver. She gives a punch to the stomach as she sucker punches him in the stomach again. "Actually I do mind", Neo Darcel said to Quentin.
As Quentin went down to his knee, the rangers are stunned as this might get bad for him. Brandon and Artemis are keeping an eye on Neo Darcel as they are doing something together. "It is now or never". Quentin thought to himself.
Just as Neo Darcel fires another fireball at Lina, Quentin manages to stand up. "You are being used by Diamanda, Neo Darcel. You are being used to do Diamanda's dirty work just like she did with the original Darcel ". Quentin said to Neo Darcel as he is powering up his Star Sword.
Everyone is shocked as Quentin called them out on it as it is towards Diamanda. Neo Darcel looks at the rangers as it is very sudden as well. Diamanda is taken back by it as she is seeing very red as she glares at Quentin. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME, DUAL RANGER". Diamanda said to Quentin.
The rangers look at each other as things may change things. "You heard me, Diamanda. You used the original Darcel just like you are doing to Neo Darcel. What ever your plan is, it will be brought to justice". Quentin said to Diamanda.
Diamanda screams out loud as Quentin turned out to be right. She makes a huge fire bi. "You rangers will be be destroyed. Do it , Neo Darcel steal the red ranger's energy". Diamanda said to them. Neo Darcel nods as she uses the energy stealing beam at Ryder.
As Diamanda fires the huge fire ball and Neo Darcel sends the energy stealing beam towards Ryder, Quentin sees this as this is what the dream is telling him. He rushes over as he pushes Ryder out of the way to get the full force.
As Quentin screams as he is in a lot of pain, the lady of justice appears as an orange Star Piece of Unity Force appears to him. "You did well, your quest for Justice is starting". The voice of Liberty and Jason said in unison.
As Neo Darcel got the hat of energy, the rangers see a strange orange glow like aura around Quentin. "I will not give in to you ever". Quentin said to them. He puts the Star Piece into his Star Sword and turns the dial to the right place. "Star Sword Unity Form". Quentin said as he earned the Star Piece.
Unity Form Sequence
Quentin is standing in a blank space as the orange scales of Justice is in the back ground. The three images of the Orange Unity Force Ranger are standing with him. He has the male version of the orange Unity Ranger from the basic form. It has a the wings from the special quality form. He has the armor from the Ranger of Justice form. He has a orange star with the scales of justice in the center engraved on the chest. His helmet is also orange with the star scales as the visor. His Star Sword has some parts of the sword on it. "Star Descendant Unity Form Orange Ranger". He said as he is in his pose.
End Morphing Sequence
The rangers are very surprised by the transformation Quentin pulled off. "That is very cool". Kelsea said to them. The teens nod in agreement.
Quentin powers up his Star Sword. "Star Sword Star Scales", Quentin said as he draws it with his sword. As he hits it with the side with the sword part from Unity Force, it is aimed towards Neo Darcel.
As Neo Darcel gets hit, the jar of the ranger energy that she stolen from Quentin falls out from her hands and it broke. Everyone is shocked by it as Diamanda is not happy about it. "No", Diamanda said as she is throwing a temper tantrum.
The rangers look at each other as this is something they did not expect to happen. "You can't get everything you want Diamanda". Ryder said to Diamanda. "That's right you are acting like a snobby brat". Tess said to Diamanda. The rangers also agree as they have their own two cents into it.
Diamanda is seeing very red still as she glares at them. "I will be back rangers. When I do, you will all pay". Diamanda said as she and Neo Darcel teleport away.
The rangers went to Quentin as this is a hard fought battle. "Lets head back to the Oasis", Quentin said as he is very exhausted like he wants to pass out. The teens nod as they teleport away to their headquarters.
Back at the Evil Tower, Neo Darcel is back in her cell. She is still thinking about what Quentin said to her in the fight. 'Is it really true that I am being used? No, he only said that to distract me. No matter, I will get his energy and all the other rangers as well'. Neo Darcel thought to herself as she went to sleep.
Back at Quentin's house, Quentin is in his room as he is asleep in his room. Winston walks by in the hallway as he notices his twin brother sleeping. 'The golden popular boy just be too tired to deal with me'. Winston thought to himself as he went to his own room.
End Chapter
Yeah, Neo Darcel failed to bring the jar of orange ranger energy back to Diamanda and Ivano.
