DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS, PERIOD.

Chapter 28: The Aftermath of it All

At the headquarters, the teens are stunned as more red rangers are coming through the portal. "What in the world is going on here"? Whitney asks them. The teens shrug as they have no idea what's going on.

"I am Azalea. Welcome to the ship the headquarters of the Treasure Warriors Power Rangers". Azalea said to them. She is stunned to see more rangers coming through to the ship as the portal vanishes from them. She is familar with the Universe Rangers in Milky Way, but not with the other rangers from Walkerton.

"Daranten sent us to assist you guys for a rescue mission in Baylorville. My name is Isabelle Grant Red Mystic Warrior Ranger. That is my twin and gold ranger Issac Grant. This is Ellie Chase Mystic Warriors Yellow Ranger". Isabelle said to them. She notices the bigger group on a ship for a headquarters.

The teens are stunned as it is a huge surprise to them. "So wait, are you guys from the same dimension as Morgana"? Velvet asks Isabelle. This is the first time for most of the Treasure Warrior Rangers to meet another ranger team. Even if, there are only a few rangers that are here at this time.

Isabelle nods as she looks at Velvet. "Yeah plus we already met Jasper. This is a first for us to meet you guys". Isabelle said to them. Jasper nods as he has a sheepish expression on his face. "That is Captain V and Admiral Mentor Azalea for you". Jasper said to them. The others are giving him a look as they want more information about them.

The Treasure Warriors teens are stunned as they are wondering more about their dimension. "Wait a minute, a rescue mission in Baylorville". Hawke said to them as she is missing something. She is wondering if something did happen that requires them to be here at this time. She has her guard up around them.

Azalea nods as she looks at them. "Yes, Daniel called me about the rescue mission in Baylorville. He is asking me to bring a few of my rangers to assist them. Plus a woman named Macha also said that she requesting Morgana, Nora, and Charles for this mission. We will leave for Baylorville in a few minutes". Azalea said to them.

The teens look at each other as they learn about the mission. Velvet looks at Azalea as she has to get it out now. "Umm Azalea, there is something that I have to say". Velvet said to Azalea. She has a solemn expression on her face. The other teens look at Velvet as some of them has the feeling that something in the young leader has drastically changed in her.

It catches everyone's attention as they look at Velvet. Azalea looks at Velvet as she has a feeling that she knows what it is. "I am listening". Azalea said to Velvet as she gives her the encouragement to talk about it. The teens has no idea what Velvet is going to say next.

Velvet looks at Azalea as Frankie gives her the encouragement to tell her. "I fully understand everything that you went through for the past 13 years. You have raised your children really well despite the circumstances of your living situation. Even when they were mysteriously taken away from you, you have fought tooth and nail to get them back even though various people had lied to you. I fully understand why you were so cold and distant with us at the beginning. You didn't want to get to close to our lives. However when you went to the other dimension and met Frankie and the others, you realized that you couldn't be cold and distant with us any more. You had to open up to and being your true self. It is what you did since then. When we saw your true self for the first time, it caught all of us off guard especially me. As time went on, the others started to accept you for who you are except me. I didn't want anything to do with it because I thought that your change was all an act. I pretty much became cold and distant towards you. My teammates got frustrated with me until very recently. When I realized that you were not acting, I realized on what I have done wrong and fully apologize to you. Even after that battle was over and heard that music that brought old memories back, I felt like something was missing and wasn't sure if those memories were actually real. Once I truly remembered it in a dream, I remember everything about you Azalea. You are really my biological mother. Maggie is my biological sister. I have a biological brother who is still missing. That woman who snatched us lied to us about you. She said that you didn't really love us and it was best to forget about you. Those words burned into my heart for years. I did forgot about you for 10 years. Now that my memory is back, I know that you loved me and my two siblings all along". Velvet said to Azalea.

Azalea looks at Velvet as she has tears in her eyes. She smiles to Velvet as her tears are falling down her face. "Oh Libby, I miss you, your sister, and brother more than you know. I was wondering when you fully understood what my journey was all about. It was about getting back to my normal self. Getting back in touch with my true self is still on going. Yes my eccentric part of myself is back with force. However there are still parts of me that hasn't returned yet. Once upon a time, I was also cheerful, bubbly, and very outlandish. You probably see some of that in Maggie don't you". Azalea said to Velvet.

Velvet looks at Azalea as she smiles to her. "Yeah I do see the bubbly and cheerfulness in her. I don't see the outlandish in her though. On the other hand, the outlandish is mostly in me especially with my hair. May I give you a hug"? Velvet asks Azalea as she has a sheepish expression on her face.

Azalea nods as she smiles to Velvet. "Yes you may", Azalea said to Velvet as she has her arms open. Velvet smiles as she went up to Azalea as they share a hug. Tears are falling down everyone's faces as it is a long time coming. The teens are deeply surprised as a new bond is being made between the red ranger and the mentor. It brings some happiness and joy to the others as they are wondering when the peace between them will come.

As the hug is over, it is not long that the rangers gather together to teleport to the headquarters in Baylorville. Velvet looks at them as she remembers about the blackmail. "Excuse me Frankie, I need to warn you about something". Velvet said to Frankie. She turns to the purple Universe Ranger. She doesn't want to keep it from her for much longer.

Frankie looks at Velvet as she is wondering what it could be. "What is it"? Frankie asks Velvet. She has the feeling that something is going to happen soon. The others are surprised as they are wondering what did Velvet heard or didn't hear.

"Just before that battle in your town, I over heard those four girls talking about you. Alice said that her cousin Irene has dirt on you with a photo that she took of you on a date with someone named Shawn. You looked very beautiful in the photo as well. They are talking about teaching you another lesson". Velvet said to Frankie.

Frankie frowns as she gets the feeling that the young red ranger is telling the truth. "Thanks for the warning Velvet", Frankie said to Velvet. She didn't know that Alice is planning something bad for her. Plus what is even worse is that her cousin Irene has something to do with it as well.

Isabelle frowns as she learns something huge. "That witch is related to that witch in Milky Way. That really fits right there". Isabelle said to them as she is angry about it. Issac and Ellie nod as they are just as angry.

Azalea frowns as she looks at them. She went inside of the main cabin of the ship. The teens are wondering what she is going to do. It is not long that she came back out with a box in her hands. "This will come in handy in case of Irene commits a crime against a ranger. I will explain what it is until the rescue mission is over". Azalea said to Isabelle. It is not long that Morgana, Nora, Charles, Isabelle, Ellie, Issac, Azalea, Velvet, Hawke, and Tobey teleports out to Baylorville for an important rescue mission while the others stay back.

In Baylorville, the rescue mission is over as everyone is at the headquarters of the Cyber Force Rangers. The teens are getting to know each other as they are partying. Daniel sighs in relief as he has Maggie back safely. "Oh Maggie, what did she do to you"? Daniel ask Maggie as he is right by her side. He is deeply somber as he is beating himself over the fact that Maggie got controlled by an evil robot made by Zilentia.

Velvet and Azalea walk in the med bay as they notice the bandages wrapped around the 13 year old's body. "I can not imagine what Maggie went through and yet I felt her pain in my head". Velvet said to Daniel. She takes a seat on the other side of the bed. It is hard for her to see her friend in bed like that. She is trying not to cry in front of Daniel. Azalea sighs as she can sense the sadness in Velvet's eyes.

Daniel looks at Velvet as he notice the big change in her. "I felt it as well. It felt a lot worse when Azalea got tortured by the various villains back in the day". Daniel said to Velvet. He does remember about those times. However, it is something that he doesn't like to talk about even with Maggie.

Azalea nods as she looks at Maggie. She senses her aura and spirit. "Her healing process will soon begin Daniel". Azalea said to Daniel. She places her hand on Maggie's uninjured hand. "There is room for one more Harry". Azalea said to Harry as she senses him just outside of the door.

"You caught me Azalea. I don't know if I am allowed to walk in the room". Harry said to them as he aims it at Daniel. He has his hands up as he has a sheepish expression on his face.

Daniel sighs as he looks at Harry. "You can come in Harry. She is still knocked out still". Daniel said to Harry. He has a solemn expression on his face. He doesn't have bad feelings towards the veteran Neo Defender Green Ranger.

Harry walk towards them as he sighs to them. "During the battle, it really hurt me that Zilentia used the words that Maggie saw the worse in me. It reminded me of during my worst moments in my life. Even though I put my life back together, I was still mad that Azalea took off like the way that she did. It even hurts worse when Verna vanished as well. It hurts me deeply that you were evilly controlled, and it wasn't your fault. I know that you will be ready to talk to me again on your terms, but I fought hard with both of your parents and sister to rescue you". Harry said to Maggie as he is showing his true emotions as he is crying.

Azalea and Daniel looks at Harry as they both can sense that he is telling the truth. Velvet turns as she sees Maggie coming around. "Umm guys, Maggie is coming around". Velvet said to them. She is in awe as she watches her fellow red ranger coming around.

Azalea and Daniel turns as they see Maggie opening her eyes. "Dad, mom, is that you with Velvet and Uncle Harry"? Maggie said to them as she notice that she is in the med bay. She is uneasy after everything that she was subjectively put through by the hands of Zilentia.

Azalea is stunned as she hears Maggie calling her mom. Daniel smiles as he looks at Maggie. "Yes it is honey. How are you feeling"? Daniel asks Maggie. He sighs in relief to see Maggie awake. He has a faint smile on his face as the joy to see her wake brings some tears into his eyes.

Maggie faintly smiles to them as she shrugs to them. "Just a bit confused, the last thing I remember was being in that robot and the strange wires taking me over. Although, I do remember people talking to me in my mind. They all told me to fight the evil control. I felt so connected to them and yet it was so new to me. Two of those people, I don't know who they are. But I heard you, dad, mom, and Harry as well". Maggie said to them.

Azalea nods as she looks at Maggie. "They are actually here. Do you want to meet them"? Azalea asks Maggie. She has a small smile on her face as she is curious if Maggie wants to meet two other red rangers that helped them out in the rescue mission.

Maggie looks at Azalea as she has no idea that they are actually here. "Yes please, I do want to meet them". Maggie said to Azalea. Azalea nods as she lets in the two females into the room.

Morgana and Isabelle walk into the room. They have a small smile on their faces. "Hey there, you really gave your teammates a scary situation. My name is Isabelle Grant, Mystic Warriors Red Ranger". Isabelle said to Maggie.

Morgana nods as she looks at Maggie. "Yeah, this was a first for me to face robotic versions of a red ranger. I honestly didn't know that an evil villain are capable to do that. My name is Morgana Ravens, Universe Red Ranger". Morgana said to Maggie.

Maggie smiles as she looks at them. "It is nice to meet you both. I never thought that you guys would come to help a red ranger that you never met before. Plus I thought Velvet and I are the only two red rangers around". Maggie said to them as she is feeling a bit down.

Morgana looks at Maggie as she can see how broken the young leader is. "Hey, just because Isabelle and I are from a different dimension/universe, it doesn't mean that we are not going to stay in touch with each other. To be honest, I was caught off guard when I felt your pain and duress. It is a part being belonging to the ranger community". Morgana said to Maggie.

Isabelle nods as she looks at Maggie. "Morgana is right Maggie. Plus my twin brother was also the red ranger before me three years ago. When I also felt it, it felt like an SOS was reaching out to me that I needed to answer. Plus appears when Morgana told me that you are actually 13 years old, it surprised me that leaders of the team could come in that age as well. Fighting along with Velvet and the new plan made me see that as well. Plus it doesn't matter if a guy or a guy is the red ranger as long you have great qualities to lead the team into battle and listen to your teammates". Isabelle said to Maggie.

Maggie nods as she smiles to them. "Thanks, that means a lot coming from the both of you", Maggie said to them as she is gaining new friends within the two older girls. She is sitting up as she is wondering about the others. "Dad, may I go see the others please"? Maggie asks Daniel.

Daniel nods as he looks at Maggie. "I have no reason why not". Daniel said to Maggie. Maggie nods as she is getting out of bed. Morgana, Velvet, and Isabelle are helping her as they take her out of the room to surprise the others. Harry notices how Azalea wants to talk to Daniel alone.

Azalea nods as she can't stop thinking about when Maggie called her mom. "Daniel, Maggie called me mom for the first time in a long time. It felt so right in so many ways. At the same, it doesn't feel right considering that our son is still missing and trapped by the evil control as well". Azalea said to Daniel.

Daniel nods as he looks at Azalea. "There is no doubt in my mind that you will get through to him just like you gotten through to Velvet and Maggie". Daniel said to Azalea. He is trying to comfort her. Azalea nods as she looks at Daniel. "I hope you are right about that". Azalea said to Daniel. She has a sinking feeling that bad things are heading for her and her team. The two leaves the room as they watch the teens leaving for their respective dimensions and homes.

Meanwhile in Asherton, Tina has an evil grin on her face as she has a plan to sneak into the school. She is at an abandoned building close by to the school. She has avoided the police for some time now. She has a map of the school building as she knows where Azalea's classroom is. "Tomorrow is when I shall get to you once again Azalea. My best friend left me because of you, my true love fell in love with you and not me, and you dared to have his children. Even though you have fought your way to gain them back, I still made sure that you would never gain them back. Some how one of them managed to be your student and found out the truth about it. Make no mistake, I shall hurt you again and again". Tina said to herself as she has a bag ready to launch her plans. /

Back at the evil headquarters, Xolimercia has a plan as she learned that both Aligormix and Raven are fighting the evil control on them. She has both of them restrained to a machine as she glares at them. "How dare you fight my evil control. You both have forgotten what that woman is done. You both have failed to destroy the rangers". Xolimercia said to them. She presses a button as she increased the evil power and control on them.

Aligormix and Raven frown as they get hit with more evil control on them. They are screaming as black energy is surging their bodies. They are both transforming as they have different bodies from their first transformation. The two are more beastly than before as they break off from the restraints. "You two shall bring me that mentor". Xolimercia said to them. They roar and screech out loud as another evil plan is forming.

END CHAPTER

This is just a simple filler to tie in the aftermath of the battle in town that brought the Universe Rangers to Asherton and heading towards Baylorville for the rescue and then after the rescue mission as well. However things will be heating up for the finale of the arc, and there will be a reason for Azalea to sensing great trouble coming.
