ACT TWENTY-FIVE - Guardian Arc: Evil Isn't Genetic Part 1

Bentley was walking on campus, when he over heard the sound of a guitar playing in the court yard. He paused and saw James playing a guitar by himself. Bentley just stood there watching James playing the guitar and then he heard the new guy slowly begin to sing.

"You could never know what it's like. Your blood like winter freezes just like ice. And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you. You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use. And did you think this fool could never win. Well look at me, I'm coming back again. I got a taste of love in a simple way. And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away." James sung.

Bentley just stood in awe with how amazing James' voice sounded.

"Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time. Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind. I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah. I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah." James sung.

It was at this moment that Bentley saw that James glanced up, this didn't stop him from playing his song. So he continued but now he had a small smile on his face as he was playing.

"Once I never could hope to win. You starting down the road leaving me again. The threats you made were meant to cut me down. And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now. You know I'm still standing better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time. Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind. I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah. I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah." James sung looking at Bentley.

Bentley had a smile on his face as he watched James sing.

James finished playing and heard Bentley clap his hands. James sings and looks up at Bentley as he leans on his guitar. Bentley walks over and stands in front of him.

"Didn't know you can play," Bentley said.

James winks at Bentley, "There is a lot you don't know about me, love."

Bentley couldn't help but smile, "You sounded amazing."

James shakes his head, "Ah I don't think so."

Bentley watched as James begins to put the guitar in the case, "What? You are amazing! You sing great!" Bentley said.

James shuts the case, "Tell that to my old man. He doesn't approve of anything."

Bentley nods, "I can understand, James." He said.

James looks up, "Yeah?"

Bentley sits down on the bench, "I'm gay."

James makes a dramatic expression, "No." He dragged it out followed by a small laugh.

Bentley laughed back, "Shut up. But yeah my dad doesn't approve about it. He and I don't talk." He said.

James frowns, "That's a shame. My old man is all I have and if I couldn't talk to him- well it'll crush me." James said and he fidget with his hands.

"So he approves of you being gay?" Bentley asks.

James got defensive, "I'm- I'm not gay." He said.

Bentley rolls his eyes, "James, you've spent the first encounter we had flirting and you asked me out for coffee. I'm pretty sure your gay or maybe bisexual." Bentley said.

James sighs, "Where I'm from you can't be different. You can't be gay." James said.

"England is that behind the time?" Bentley asks.

James looked confused for a second then nods, "Yeah, yeah they are. And my dad doesn't know. I know if I told him- he'd disown me." He said.

Bentley reached over and grabbed James' hand, "You have to tell me. He needs to know the truth and how you feel."

James looks at Bentley and then pulled his hand back, "I have to go."

Bentley nods and watches James get up and walk off with his guitar case. Bentley watched as James met up with one of his friends, which was none other than Ulrich. Bentley sat on the bench for a moment and then let out a deep breathe.

Miles was reading some of the flyers on the student board, then he caught glimpse of Malorie. He ran over to her, which caught her off guard. He stopped in front of her with a smile on his face. Malorie seemed a bit upset, and Miles had been concerned since he hadn't seen her in a while.

"Everything okay? You ran off to talk to someone on the phone and then ran off." Miles said.

Malorie adjusted her back straps, "It was my mom," Her voice sounded soft for once, " She was- uh checking in."

"Oh, why did you run off?" He asks.

Malorie looks at Miles and was about to say something but then stopped.

"Malorie?" He asks.

Malorie shakes her head, "It's nothing. I have class, Miles."

"Okay," He said.

Malorie leans in and kisses him on the cheek, "See you later." She said and walked off.

Miles stood there in a small shock. He slowly touched his cheek with shock and smiled. He watched Malorie catch up with two guys, which are Ulrich and James.

As Malorie and the guys got away from Miles, Malorie reached into her back and pulled out her spell book. Ulrich and James looked at the spell book and then to the girl who was holding said book. She leaned against the wall and was flipping through the book as she was reading some spells.

"Mal," James started, "Do you think we'd ever have a normal life?"

Malorie looked up at him, "Of course. Once we do our job our parents will let us maybe rule this world."

Ulrich shrugs, "As fun as making people live through the kind of hell we grew up with," He paused, "It's been fun here."

Malorie looks at Ulrich, "Do you want to become shark food?"

He shakes his head, "I'd be killed by my mom before the sharks get to me." He said.

Malorie glanced from him to the spell book, "I'd take sharks over my mother." She said.

"Mal," James said.

Malorie stopped on a page in the book, "Found it."

"What?" James asks.

Malorie points to Wes walking with Robin in the court yard, "A spell to really mess with the team."

Ulrich looks at the spell book and then to Malorie, "Can you promise me something?"

Malorie looks at him, "What?"

"We don't kill them? But just knock their spirits from fighting against us." He said.

Malorie nods, "Fine. Besides that seems to have less work."

Ulrich began to leave. James watched as Malorie went to leave, but he put a hand up against the wall blocking her from moving. James leaned down and stared into her eyes. Malorie kept the calm look on her face as she stared at James.

"What?" She asked sounding frustrated.

"What are you planning?" He asks.

Malorie looks at him, "If you want to stay here and live a life of a lie, you and Fish Bait can. I'm going to be exactly what I am." She said.

James could see a tear forming in her eyes, Malorie may have quickly wiped it away but James knew it was there. He knew which meant Malorie knew as well.

"Mal?" He sounded worried.

Malorie takes in a deep breathe, "I am one thing and it's wicked." She said and pushed passed him.

James looks at the sad Malorie. He glanced from where she was walking and then looked up. Seeing a familiar bird. It's Maleficent's raven. James looked at the raven and watched it fly off, now he knew. He knew that Malorie was doing everything to make sure that if he and Ulrich were thinking about bailing that someone was still living up to expectation.

"Mal," James spoke to himself, "You are so much more."

Robin and the others were listening to Wes talk about his reunion with his long lost cousin. Everyone was so happy for him that they all smiled and were so happy about it, even Tess was over because Wes wanted to tell her as well. The gang were sitting where they usually sit and drink their coffee.

"So Kiki was your cousin all this time," Tess said.

Wes nods, "Yeah."

"And she was the Orange Neo Defenders Ranger that came to your aid that day?" Kristen asks.

Wes nods.

"Wow," Ericka said, "That's amazing."

Bentley nods with a smile, "I'm happy for you."

Wes has a smile on his face, "Thanks."

Morgan then says, "So does this mean you are going to look for your parents?"

Wes looks at Morgan, "Kiki and her father mentioned they haven't seen them in years." He said.

Robin frowns, "That's a shame."

"It happens, guys. Besides mom and you guys are all my family." Wes said.

The gang all smile from their spots. From afar was Ulrich, he was sitting at his table looking like he was studying. He overheard the fact that the Orange Neo Defender Ranger is Wes' cousin. He pulled out his phone and texted Malorie. He was about to head out when he saw James come over.

Bentley looks over at the table near them and saw James sitting with a friend. Bentley kept glancing at James, he has a huge crush on James, but looking at the guy now, Bentley could see something is wrong. Ericka noticed Bentley looking at another table, she turned her gaze to it and saw Ulrich.

"You know Ulrich?" Ericka asks him.

"That's Ulrich?" Bentley asks.

Ericka nods, "In blue, yeah."

"The other guy is James." Bentley said.

Ericka smirks, "You mean cutie James?" Ericka teased.

Bentley lightly shoves his friend, "Oh shut up."

The two were snickering and then glanced at the two guys that clearly the two rangers have crushes on. It slowly gained the attention of the other rangers, who asked what was going on. Wes slowly made his gaze reach the table and sees the girl Miles has been hanging around so much and has a huge crush on. She was holding Miles hand, she was looking at him with a smile then kisses him on the lips.

Wes kept his eyes on her.

The girl walks away from Miles and heads over to the table where James and Ulrich were. It was at that moment, the three noticed they were being watched. James smiles at Bentley and gives him a wink, Bentley smiles back at him. Ulrich just smiles at Ericka, she returns a friendly smile. However, Malorie just nudges her friends to come with her.

"So that's the guy you're tutoring, Ericka." Kristen said.

"And that's the guy you've been flirting with, Bentley." Robin said.

The two blush.

Wes kept his eyes watching the three leave. As they got near Miles, the girl grabs his hand yet again and drags him off.

"Wes," Tess started, "You okay?"

Wes glanced at her, "Uh yeah."

-HEROESOFLEGENDS-

At Aurora Cove High School, the students were getting out for the day. As students walked out of the building, the group of Power Rangers in that town were walking out together. All of them talking about something, but then as they had exited the building one stopped in the group.

"Oh shoot," Kiki spoke.

Will turns to Kiki, "Everything okay?"

Kiki looks at her friends, "I left my homework in my locker."

Verna looks at her friend, "Want me to come with you to get it?"

Kiki shakes her head, "No. Just meet me at the Cave." Kiki said.

Daniel looks at her, "You sure?"

Kiki nods, "Positive."

With that said Kiki began to head back into the building while the others headed to this cave. As Kiki returned to the hallway of the school, she noticed how empty it was. Not even a janitor was around, she just assumed it was because they were elsewhere. She didn't think much of it. She walked down to her locker and opened it. She searched the locker and found her homework. She put it in her bag, as she put it in her bag someone shut the locker door.

"Well look what we have here," Mal spoke in her villain attire.

Kiki dropped her bag and went to kick Mal, but Mal dodged the kick and grabbed Kiki's leg and tossed her back on her back. Kiki grunted when her back hit the floor hard. She blinked and looked around now seeing a pirate like individual and one looking to sport a more sea attire. Kiki felt a trident rest on her chest and it was from the guy with the sea attire.

"Who- Who are you?" Kiki asked.

Mal knelt down and had a smirk, "Just some friends of you dear, Wesie." Mal said.

Kiki tried to get up, "If you touch him-!"

Mal stands up, "You'll what? Hurt us?"

Mal glanced up at the pirate guy, he snatched her morpher from her.

Kiki yelled at him, "Give that back!"

Mal looks at Kiki, "Sorry dear," Mal kneels back down, "But you're our prisoner now."

(A/N: Read LovingGinger30 Neo Defenders to know about the reveal of Kiki and Wes being cousins. Also this is going to be an interesting two parter or three pending how long it'll be. After this two or three part we will get to the guardians being revealed and new powers for the rangers.

I am currently working on part two as of right now so part two may be up within a few hours or even within a day. So keep an eye out! I am currently working on new chapters for Mystic Knights and Jurassic Surge, just haven't finished them yet. I will get them out as soon as I can. Until next time. -ICrzy)
