DarkPriestess66: I know it was Goldar in the last chapter, but I find Tommy a better replacement so Sorry about the change and same as the other chapters before this.
Jason watched at the Rangers leave to help whoever was in trouble, he would never admit it outloud but he was proud of this new generation of Rangers, and he felt if his own mentor was still alive he would be too, he was about turn around when a evil laugh sounded throughout the forest,
"So you're the one who that little fire ninja looks up too," a voice sounded,
Jason turned around. "Who's there?"
"Just someone who wants revenge," the voice stated then a teenage male appeared on a branch, he had sliver wings on his back and he was wearing serpentine armor, and sword strapped to his side,
Jason was then restrained by Kelzaks as the creature taunted him about the girls.
The serpentine warrior flexed his fingers and a red glow starting to emit from Jason, who felt weak like he had the gold Ranger power again.
"Stop!" He yelled.
"Don't think so, I know she will come to save you," the creature replied as he drained more power from the former ranger.
"You leave her alone, if you touch her you will regret it!" Jason yelled as he fell to his knees.
The creature looked up as a red-orange blur streaked in, and smiled. When the Fire Ranger shouted "You!"
Jason took one last look before he passed out. "Ree"
"Always one to save everyone else, aren't you best friend." The Creature taunted, they were best friends two and half years ago before he found out about his demonic heritage, then she found out and got him kicked out of the fire Academy the only place he called home.
Back at the ops Jason was stuck in a mind battle, but he was facing an old friend. "You failed me, you let her down, and you let me down, you told me you would protect them" Tommy taunted his friend. Showing him and image of the girls without their morph and hurt.
Suddenly a fiery image appear and began to push back against the Evil Tommy, Jason was backed against a wall.
"How dare you convince Jason of something that is not true." the fiery image stated as it formed into Desiree's ninjetti form
"But its true i let you girls down" Jason cried.
"You listen to me Jason Lee Scott, you have never let us down, you help mend a rift that was growing between my twin and I, one that I never felt forming," The Ninjetti stated,
Jason just huddled in the corner. "But he showed me, you guys will get hurt because of me"
The Ninjetti snorted, "You know it comes with being a Ranger, the best of us get hurt."
Jason looked at her. "So you forgive me?"
"Forgive what you didn't force this life on me, and sometimes I wouldn't change it for the world, now let's get you to someplace more safe then this dark dimension," Desiree laughed, as she held out a hand.
He slowly grabbed her hand and everything went dark until she opened her eyes. They were standing in a circular room, with panels and a giant tube and a globe in the back,
"Ok this is weird, i wanted to wake up in bed" Ree groaned.
"Sorry to disappoint, but you're still in my mind." Jason replied before going over and running his hand along the panels, "And this place is safe for me, its where I began my Ranger career."
"Good, stay in this memory. And I promise you that I will get your power back somehow," Desiree stated before fading away.
"Ree; come back!" Jason cried but she was gone.
~~~Outside of Jason's mind with the others~~~~
"Wait..you caused him to be expelled, how?" Hunter asked.
Desiree looked up, "I saw him change into his demonic form, I don't know if you remember but the city of mariner bay was attacked by demons, he's the son of Vypra."
Angel sighed. "You were always a tattle tail"
"When it comes to the safety of the Fire Academy, you bet i will tell, but that isn't the half of it." Desiree retorted
Ree felt Jason squeeze her hand lightly. "I made you a promise, and I will keep it," She whispered, she would get his power back if it cost her life.
Adam walked over. "Trust me, we all will help you, your not alone"
"You don't get it, He's not after any of you. He's just after me. I think he's made a deal with lothor," Desiree replied, "I guess i will have to go after him" Ree told them as she went to leave.
"Like hell you are," Angel replied, "He goes after one of us, he goes after all of us."
"No, its my duty as a Fire Ninja to put a stop to him, besides don't you know what would happen to me if something were to happen to you, Hunter or Aya?" Desiree replied.
"Desiree stop being like Tommy always wanting to be the hero" Angel pleaded. "Ree, i swear if this gets bad you call us"
Desiree laughed desite the danger she was going into, "I'm not trying to be a hero, I'm trying to defend the honor of my element, school and Sensai."
They all nodded. Ree went over to Jason and kissed his cheek. "Ree, be careful" Angel told her sister as they watched her leave.
"Always am, Always am."Desiree replied as she raised her morpher, "this is for Jason, Hikari and all my fellow fire ninjas."
"Fire Storm, Ranger Form!"
Desiree ran out. Adam walked over to Angel to went to lay by Jason.
"Cam, where do you think she's going to be at." Hunter asked worried for his girlfriend
"Quarry, where else." Cam replied, before bringing the quarry up on the screen . Where Desiree stood alone.
Shane looked over at Angel who was asleep.
"Dude, she's asleep while her sister is fighting for two lives," Dustin stated,
"Let her sleep, we'll wake her if Ree needs our help," Shane replied.
They all noticed that Jason was breathing a little harder and was begininng to sweat. "Hurry Ree" Hunter whispered.
"Chase, you wanted me so here i am alone as requested!" Desiree shouted.
Chase appeared behind her holding a vile with a glowing red stone. "When i'm done with you, I'm going to go after your friends, then the lightspeed rangers for destroying my mother."
"Save the drama for the soap operas, I'm here to get that stone." Desiree stated before charging and she was kicked in the stomach and sent flying backwards, The rangers watched in horror as Ree was send flying into a tree.
"Give me the stone now!" Ree yelled.
"No," Chase replied before charging at her with his sword raised above his head, only to be blocked by Desiree's phoenix sword.
Back at the Ops, they heard Jason groaning lightly.
Aya watched helplessly as her partner fought to save Jason's life, before flapping her wings and disappearing in a burst of flame.
"Guys; Jason is getting worse" Cam announced as he did another scan.
"Where's Aya?" asked Blake noticing the phoenix was gone.
"There," Hunter pointed at the screen as the phoenix gave a battle cry and dived toward the serpentine warrior,
"Guys, look" Tori said pointing to the screen. Desiree was glowing orange.
"Phoenix Fire Blast!" Desiree called out as she sent a powerful blast of fire at Chase.
Chase grabbed on to Ree pulling her to him, ready to make an explosion at her.
Aya struck with talons out latched onto his arm cutting deep furrows, she flapped away carrying with her a stone.
"Well if i am going down, your going down with me Oliver" He promised as he exploded. "Love you, Angel" Ree whispered.
Back at the ops Angel bolted up.
"No!" Hunter cried out before dropping to his knees. He clutched at his heart like it had be ripped out of his chest.
Angel ran into Adam's arms. "No!"
The other Rangers couldn't believe what just happened, their teammate, their friend was dead.
The End, just kidding.
"Something's happening," Cam's strangled voice stated.
They all turned to Cam. Angel was clutching Adam so hard she was leaving a mark.
The smoke cleared and there stood a lone figure, coughing.
"Ree?" Angel asked as Aya flew in.
"Aya!" the Rangers exclaimed
Aya circled over Jason's body breaking the red glowing stone as she did so. The power from the stone difted down and settled over the former Ranger's body making him glow red for a short time.
"Why isn't he waking up!" Angel yelled at Cam.
:Because One of us has to awaken him,: Aya replied.
"Me?" Angel asked and Jason began to groan a little louder this time.
Aya placed a wing on Jason's forehead and glowed a soft crimson, :No, we placed him in the Command Center, One of us must awaken him.:
The door opened and they all turned around. "Desiree?" Hunter asked coming up to the girl.
"Yeah, Its me." Desiree replied, "Just me."
Desiree was tackled by her sister and Adam.
"Angel, Adam; I need to breathe," coughed Desiree as she tried in vain to loosen the two's grip.
Hunter stood there watching, waiting for his turn. He was sure, she was dead but what happened?
Desiree finally came up to him. "What happened?" asked Hunter
"There was a reason, I needed to go alone, besides fighting him by myself. My animal spirit is a Phoenix, remember what does legends say about those birds," Desiree replied.
Desiree then turned around and went to sit by Jason. "Cam, how is he?"
:I'm hardly a bird,: complained Aya as she cleaned her talons of blood, while making noises of disgust.
"I'm not sure, Aya said that one of you must of awaken him, he hasn't woken up yet." Cam replied.
Desiree just looked at Jason's face.
"I'll go" Ree said
:No need, I have awoken him, but he need rest. He's sleeping, nitwit.: Aya stated.
Both girls laid on the bed with him in the middle and closed their eyes, they needed rest. "Man i can't believe how much those girls care for you and Jason" Shane said to Adam
"One part brave, three parts foolish. That was stupid." Adam replied, "But he would do the same thing for them,"
Aya blinked, as she perched over her charges, she might not be partners with the other two but as of right now, she would take care of them.
"Because they known him longer, then the rest of us. Do you know about Tommy being evil?" Adam asked as he sat down to wait for his friends to wake up.
"No, i don't know about him being evil; they never talked about it" Tori answered
"I only know this because Tommy told Rocky, Aisha and I when we first began being Rangers, just to warn us that some rangers start out being evil, well. This happened when they first moved to Angel Grove, Tommy and Jason were in a Karate competition, that is when Billy, Kimberly, Trini, Zach met those two, they were there to support Tommy, I really think he was babysitting them." Adam began then telling the Rangers of this generation of how Tommy was chosen by Rita to be her evil green ranger.
"Adam, it seems like Jason made a promise to look after them, do you think that's true?" Dustin asked.
"It is true, from my zeo days when he was the Gold Ranger, i learned alot about him, he takes the blame even if it's not his fault." Adam answered. "He promised to watch out for them, when Tommy left for college."
"Adam, do you think they will see Tommy again?" Tori asked as she stood up.
"I think so, who knows he might turn up in an out of the way town." Adam shrugged, "But i suggest you let this rest, they have to focus on the here and now."
Tori nodded understanding.
"How did you know about that Chase guy?" Blake asked,
"He's been hanging around Angel Grove for a few weeks just asking where she was." Adam replied.
He got up. "I am going to go for a walk let me know if they wake up."
"Alright, just hang outside in the training grounds, wouldn't want anything to happen to you," Shane suggested.
Adam nodded and went to sit on a bench. "Tommy, if you only seen them now and what they are going through" He whispered to the sky.
Jason groaned again and opened his eyes and looked around. He slowly sat up, he noticed the twins were sound asleep.
"What happen to her?" asked Jason making everyone else in the room jump in surprise,
"Jason, take it easy" Cam said as he came over to him.
"Don't make me repeat myself," Jason stated as he stared down at Desiree's blacken face. He knew it was soot from an explosion,
"She sacrificed her self to save you but somehow she is alive" Hunter filled in.
:Sacrificed isn't a word, I'd use.: Aya stated quitely,
Jason touched her face softly. "Are they both alright?" He asked quietly.
:Yes, I would know if something was wrong with both of them,: Aya answered,
"They both need their rest" Shane said.
"I still want to know, how she'd survived a explosion like that," Hunter stated before looking at the Phoenix who was staring at him with wise blue eyes,
Jason held each of the girl's hands he was just happy both of them were okay.
Four pairs of eyes fluttered open, as they felt something hold onto their hands, Desiree glanced around her, she was still tired but very much confused on how she was still alive as well. By all rights that blast should have killed her too. "Jase, I'm glad your alive,"
Desiree hugged him. "Angel, wake up!" Ree shouted in her ear, her sister bolted up but got teary when she saw Jason sitting up,
Jason hugged both girls before giving Desiree a overprotective brotherly glare, "That was really stupid,"
Desiree lowered her eyes to the ground, "I know, but I had to do something,"
"Even if it meant dying?" He asked lifting her face so he could look into her eyes.
"Yes, even if it meant dying. Chase makes Lothor as sweet as can be," Desiree replied. "I'm still confused as to why I'm alive too,"
Desiree looked around to find Aya. "Aya; why am i alive?"
Aya tilted her head, :We are Phoenixs, We are reborn from the ashes,:
"It was weird though like i felt a presence next to me" She said.
:That was the white Falcon, he deflected some of the blast, but you still died,: Aya explained.
"Like i heard a voice inside my head saying everything will be ok" Desiree stated.
:Yes, it was him. Now no more of this until we can defeat Lothor,: Aya ordered.
Ree huffed but Angel smiled. "Now Jason i believe we have some shopping to do" Angel said.
Desiree shook her head, "Not even awake for five minutes and she's already back on the shopping thing, and do i look like i should be shopping, I just came back from the dead after all."
"But Ree, i still have his credit card" Angel said hoping for her sister to give in.
Jason's cell phone started to ring, he looked at the caller id and paniced.
"Who is calling you?" Angel asked trying to see the name.
"Hello?" Jason greeted,
"Where are you!" shouted a woman on the other end,
"Uh oh somebody is in trouble" Ree said as she laid back down.
"Honey, I'm in Blue Bay Harbor visiting Tommy's sisters." Jason explained then held the phone away from his ear as the woman began screaming at him.
"I Don't Care, You need to get home now!"
"Is everyting alright? you sound upset?" He asked the woman.
"No, everything is not alright. My husband isn't here when I'm in the hospital," the woman calm down some.
Jason's eyes widen, the only reason why Emily would be in the hospital was... "I'll be there as soon as i can,"
"Jason, what is going on?" Angel asked as he packed up in a hurry.
"Congratulations, you're going to be Aunts." Jason stated as he ran out of Ninja Ops.
Angel and Ree's mouths went wide as they heard his bike speed off.
Adam walked back to find the girls wake but Jason no where to be seen,
"I still have his credit, i wonder if he will notice" Angel said.
"Where did he go?" He asked as he sat right on Ree's lap.
"Get off of me, I'm not a seat." Desiree stated then shoved Adam off, "As for your question, he's in a hurry to go back to Angel Grove, for the birth of his new child, and Angel, that card expired two months ago,"
"I can't believe Jason will have a kid" Ree laughed.
"Think the kid will be one of us?" asks Angel
"I don't know, what do you think we will do when ths is all over?" Angel asked her sister.
"Go to high school, I think I want to take over after Sensai Hikari steps down," Desiree answered.
"Ree, i want to go on a vacation" Angel said after a moment of silence. "I want to get away for a few days"
"Yeah, we have most of the summer left, if we beat Lothor by then, so might as well plan for it," Desiree agreed
"So Adam how long are you staying?" Angel asked as she stood up.
"Not sure, I hate to think of Rocky teaching all by himself," Adam replied.
"Well can you go buy us some food since Jason wouldn't" Ree asked her friend.
"this one time, but you owe," Adam agreed, then was assulted by various orders, "At one place!"
"Ree, i want Pizza!" Angel shouted.
"Well i want a sub!" Ree countered.
Adam shook his head, "You'll get whatever I can afford," before he left.
"See what you did Desiree" Angel snorted as she left to go for some fresh air.
"What did i do?" muttered Desiree as she left for the bathroom, for a shower and a new uniform. Once Desiree was finished with her shower, she was towel drying her hair when she finally got a good look in the mirror, her normal cobolt eyes now had flecks of crimson, and her hair was streaked with crimson, "What?" she stated in confusion. She reached and touched a strand of hair, "This is strange, I have the same coloring as Aya?"
She pulled on a clean uniform and sighed, it was good to get out of the nearly destroyed one, she finished drying her hair still wondering about her new additions, when she walked back out into the main room,
"Woah, what happen to you?" Dustin asked,
"I have no idea," Desiree answered, "the crimson streaks must have been covered by soot,"
"I like it," Hunter stated, then looked around at everyone giving him a werid look. "What did i say?"
"Of course, you would like it, its your color after all, but I think its my ninjetti color coming though too," Desiree laughed.
Adam came back with a heathly pizza, much to Angel's dismay, but they ate anyway. Then said goodnight to Adam, who was going to leave first thing in the morning to return to Angel Grove to relieve Rocky of his double teaching duty.
