Training Sessions: Q and A
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Rangers always have a million questions…Good thing Theo could answer them…right?
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
"Hello, Mason," Teach said calmly.
Ziggy didn't know the colonial that well. But he did know when the Colonial was pissed off like now.
"I should have you arrested to withholding information."
"And what good would that do?"
"It could help the people of Cornith."
"Oh? How? It took me months to walk again."
"The information you have is invaluable."
Teach shook his head sadly.
"No, my information would have been useless."
"I have the power to decide what is useless or not!"
"Every team is different. From our zords to the power we draw. I couldn't tell you even if I want to too."
Colonial looked liked he was about to strangle Teach. Luan's eyes were darting back and forward. The Colonial's men brought him here. He didn't look to happy to be here. Reese and Victor were standing close to Teach. Just waiting. If it came down to a fight, Colonial would lose. Rangers protect their own.
The next words to come out of Teach's mouth flooded everyone.
"None of my information could have brought Marcus back, Mason."
Everything went still. Someone could drop a needle and we could have heard it. Colonial's face just froze.
"Even if I was whole and able to fight right for the moment I got to Corinth, I couldn't help you. Because I wouldn't have been there. I would have been fighting with my friends. Perhaps, I would have been dead. The Great Spirits only knows. There is nothing could have been done to save your son. I am sorry."
"This…has nothing to do with my son."
"It has everything to do with your son. Both of them."
A flick of emotions flashed across the Colonial's face. Leave it to Teach to get to the heart of the matter. Colonial straight his back and stood tall. His eyes harden at Teach.
"I will review the information and I will give my final say in a few hours. Don't go anywhere, Mr. Martin."
"As you wish."
Colonial turned on his heels and left.
"Oh, Mason?"
The Colonial stopped at the doorway.
"You still own me a new cane."
He could have sworn that the Colonial flinched then he walked out. Teach snorted as he took a seat by the counter.
"Stubborn fool."
"You have no disagreement with me there, Mr. Martin," Doc said.
"You have some questions that I want answer," Scott said.
"Of course. I want my tea and some food," Teach said.
"I get it. Do you like a smoothie?" Flynn said as he went behind the counter.
"Oh, no, you don't. We aren't having you get all OCD about your smoothies," He said.
"I don't get all OCD on my smoothies!"
"Dude…Bro get all OCD about the food storage at JKP. He had organized by food groups and stuff. Don't feel too bad," Luan added.
"Because someone lets the food spoiled."
"I do not!"
"So…being OCD is a blue thing?" He asked.
"I don't have OCD!" Flynn and Teach shouted.
"Ethan had the same problem, dude. So, I think so," Luan said.
Teach gives Luan a look. Flynn looked a little bit tickled off. Summer and Dillon were trying not to laugh.
"I think we aren't appreciated, Teach," Flynn said.
"I agree. Why don't you make that smoothie, while I answer your questions?"
"HEY!" He said.
"Dude, he is teasing."
Teach snorted
"Anyway, what is your question, Flynn?"
"Hey!" He protested again.
"Shh…Take a seat and be quiet. Each of you gets a turn," Teach said calmly. Everyone took a seat around the counter.
"Were the stories true? I mean what you told us," Flynn said eagerly.
No surprise there.
"It is my duty as a senior ranger to share our history. I just left out our names for reasons as you know," Teach said.
"I don't get those reasons, sir. We are rangers," Scott said.
"Would you have known the identities of Dino Thunder rangers if I haven't told you?"
Scott looked over at Dr. K and she shook her head no.
"Wild Force?"
"No."
"Jungle Fury?"
"No."
Scott ran his hand through his hair. He could see Scott tense up like a spring…ready to snap.
"Do you know why?"
Scott took a deep breathe.
"Venjix."
Teach nodded his head.
"We made the mistake to put our history into computer files. We were wiped out for it."
"That doesn't answer the question."
"Yes, it does. Have you heard nothing that I said to your father?"
"But…"
"My brother had my morpher which I thought I lost it in Ocean Bluff. I was injured and trying to recover. I was in no condition to help anyone."
"Then why did you help Ziggy?"
"If you were in my position, what would you have done?"
Scott's face fell into a deep thought before he answered.
"I would have helped him because he was a ranger in need."
"Very good. Next question."
"How did you get so damn tall?" Dillon asked.
"How do you do those ridiculous jumps and flips?"
"Spandex."
Doc shot Dillon a dirty look.
"There you go. Next question."
"Why is your morpher a pair of sunglasses?" He asked.
"Why do yours look like it came out of a toy car?"
"Doc."
"RJ. Next question."
"Who is RJ?" Summer asked.
"My mentor and our purple ranger. Founder of JKP and creator of our morphers. I have no idea where he thought of sunglasses. He mumbled when I asked that question. Next?"
"How did the first generation morphers work? They are functionally impossible to work. I am surprise that the other rangers didn't dislocate their shoulders when they morphed," Dr. K said.
"You know there is a reason why they are called first generation morphers?"
Doc huffed and she went back to doing something on the computer.
"How is your animal spirit so zord-like? I mean I saw Reese and Victor's. They are nothing like yours."
"I am not quite sure. My first Master…Master Mao might have done something. I…I am not quite sure. It was always like that."
He glanced over at Luan, who seemed to be thinking.
"Is there really a handbook?"
"There is a guide to proper food cleaning, isn't there?"
"Yes."
"Then there is a handbook. Next question,"
Luan gave his brother a look.
"Do we really have to shout when we morph?"
"Not really…but it helped. You and the shouting help focus your energy into the morpher. That is how it was explained to me," Teach said with a shrug.
"I like his answer better," Flynn said as he turned to Dr. K.
"How do we make…" Gemma said
"bigger booms!" Gem asked.
"You two have been doing a good job without my advice."
The twins just beamed with pride.
"Alright, rangers. There are things that needed to be done," Dr. K said.
"But, Doc…" Flynn said.
"Mr. Martin is now available resource that you can use at anytime."
"My poor lawn," Teach mumbled.
They got up from the counter. Dr. K shout out orders and everyone scrambled off. Luan, Victor, and Reese headed toward the doorway. He paused for moment.
"Teach?"
"Yes?"
"Why were you so sad after the fight?"
Teach paused for a moment.
"I don't remember who said it…but it is fitting. In victory, there is sorrow. I missed them, cub. I wasn't more aware how much until I saw all of you together."
"I'm sorry."
Teach sighed.
"So am I."
He watched Teach limped out the door. He decided right there. He was planned to do something nice for Teach.
