Chapter : Complexities getting complex!
The rangers had just returned after the massive incident of their journey as rangers from Aurora Cove, the City of Neo defender rangers, as the Annual Fate Week of Aurora Cove high came to end on the very day they rescued the three Neo defender rangers and Lexi got her powers and with it the rangers got the Gold, Silver and White ranger on their team.
It was night when their bus reached the city of Majestic Hills and it was decided that they all will meet at the C3 the next morning as there will be a holiday next day.
At the C3, the same night, Prince Alveno was all awake and was looking at the night sky as if he was in deep thoughts.
"What is it that worries you, Prince?" a voice is heard by Prince Alveno as he turned to see Martin standing there right behind him.
"It's nothing Martin. Just couldnot get a sleep tonight" Prince Alveno sighed.
"Prince Alveno, You remember when we were kids, before my family left to come here to this planet earth because of my father's appointment to take care of the matters of earth, we were best of friends or rather say I and my brother were only but the closest friend you had." Martin said to him while approaching the window Prince was standing by and looked at the sky as Prince Alveno looked at him, "whenever my brother used to ask you about why you look at the stars you used to said that they help you to calm down and seek the path you are looking for. I know you more than anyone here and more than most of the people and what I know more is about your habits. Your habit of looking for the solutions in the sky when you are too much trapped with things or feel down. So now tell me what is that you are trapped in?"
"Martin!" Prince Alveno realizing that he should share his worries with Martin, replied, "What worry me are this team and my role as the mentor and more importantly the threat of Zuthora and the devils that has risen recently."
"Say it clearly Prince, I didn't get what you want to say?" replied Martin as he is a bit confused.
"Martin! There is too much going on with the team right now" Prince Alveno walked towards the main computer screen that displayed some fight scene of the rangers with different monsters, "…and all this is not good."
"You see everyone do had improved a lot not just as a ranger but also as individual too and they now understand each other better but still there are so much about each of them that they are hiding or have been hidden from them too and I wonder how could I be of help to them."
"Prince, they had developed so much in this short time and still are developing" Martin tried to convince Prince Alveno, "afterall they had just started their journey, they are way far from their destiny and you know it."
"Martin, you are not seeing what I am seeing," Prince Alveno replied, "they do have evolved a lot from the past, yet they had formed more complex of path of their journey. Look at the team. Eldon is still more conscious about her sister and thinks of her mostly that may be a danger for others. Looking at Roxy, Blake and Twyla, it may seem as if life is too smooth for them but they are too in closet and hence I have no idea of how bad can this will affect the team if remained the same. Blaise is a good aid to the team but his recent clashes with James and his furious nature will have adverse effect on others. Tabitha's recent realization of her mother and the hate that she is developing for James and Leon because of her anger towards her mother is also not good. Leon is also not using his full potential and seems to be struck with too much he is dealing with. Addition of Lexi, Corrin and Gabby is rather good as they are good fighters but still they are new and with Corrin and Gabby working with Arustar in past will make it a bit harder for others to trust them. Talking about next the royal trio's existence is still unexplained and what add to the problem is that the chaotic spirits are taking over way earlier than expected and the rangers are still not potential enough to deal with them."
"I understand your worries but have faith on them Prince" Martin tried to confine him; "They will overcome every hurdle."
"Martin, I also have a confession." Prince Alveno turned towards his acquaintance, "I don't know why but James, Leon and Tabitha looks familiar to me from the very starting. As if they are … they are… somehow connected to me. Also the boys reminds me of Marco. Not only this but Corrin too looks familiar. I wonder how he and Gabby get the gold and silver beast stones. I mean they were lost in the final battle and cursed to have evil counterparts."
"Prince, I too have this feeling that the boys reminds me of my late brother Marco." replied Martin, "as for your other question, we will have our answers tomorrow."
Meanwhile, at the Zuthora Headquarter, Skulker and Arustar returned.
"Welcome, you two" said a familiar voice as they turned to see Eliastro standing behind them and just then Sam and Silvia grabbed Arustar and Trakken and Naiaden grabbed Skulker.
"What is this?" Arustar shouted.
"A welcome arranged for you two on directions of King Zuthora." Replied Sam and Silvia in their signature completing each other's sentence way.
"Leave me otherwise…" cried Skulker.
"Calm down you dead Skelton" said Trakken.
"Your fate is waiting for you to be announced once you are presented before Master Zuthora" Naiaden smilled a bit as they were taking the two towards the main ops.
In the main ops, Zuthora was sitting as he was seemed to be red in anger.
"How dare two to betray me?" He shouted as soon as the two convicts were brought in the room, "You, without my permission first went into the past and brought that ranger mentor to future and then team up with that Monster Wizard and all this without my permission. You will pay for me."
"Master! Please forgave me" Arustar lay down in Zuthora's feet. "I will not do that again at any cost. Please don't harm them."
"They will pay for your deeds Arustar that too to teach you a lesson" Zuthora kicked Arustar to side, "As for you Skulker, you will be in prison until I don't order you to bring back and will face my wrath there."
The two were taken to the prison cells and the left were only Eliastro and Zuthora left.
"Eliastro start preparing that machine we will need it soon" ordered Zuthora, "Also send plan monsters to deal with those rangers."
Next day, Corrin and Gabby were heading towards the C3.
"Finally we are the part of the team " smiled Gabby.
"Hmm"
"What is it? Corrin , Aren't you happy about it?" Gabby had a questioning look, "Afterall the motive was to meet prince."
"It's nothing Gabby" Corrin tried to drop the issue and entered the C3, "we are here lets go."
As the two entered the C3, they saw other rangers and mentor already there.
After greeting each other, they took their seats at the centre table.
"Before we start with the practice, I wanted to ask you two that how you got your beast stones?" Prince Alveno questioned Corrin and Gabby.
"Actually it was…"
"It was Arustar…" Gabby was interrupted by Corrin that took her off-guard and an expression of confusion formed on her face as Corrin continued, "It was he who gave us the stones. I was a tribal and Gabby used to live in Briarwood. One day he brought me to the town and give me the two stones and asked me to find the holder of other stone. He misloaded information in my mind that he is at side of good. Then I find Gabby and we ended up being the rangers. It was after he asked us to move to Majestic Hills."
"You are tribal…" Blake had a questionable look on her face.
"Yeah but why the confusion" Corrin replied.
"Oh it's actually because you didn't look like as if you were brought up in a tribe" Roxy answered.
"By your etiquettes you seems to be brought up in a high class family" Twyla added.
"Thanks"
After the practise Gabby and Corrin were returning to their resident.
"Corrin! What the heck you want?" shouted Gabby as if the volcano of anger erupted out. "Why you lied to them?"
"Gabby! Drop it." Corrin replied, "I didn't want to talk about it."
"Corrin we had already done a lot damage to their trusts. We can't afford to damage it more" Gabby replied.
"It will be nothing like that." Corrin sighed.
"Corrin! Give me a reasonable justification of your actions and a good reason why I should not go and tell them about your lie" Gabby threatened him.
"I know you can't stand lies Gabby but trust me on this." Corrin requested, "I will myself tell them the truth. You know how much I am dying to talk to Prince Alveno. If I am holding back that then there is a reason."
"If you say so but count me out of it this time" Gabby said as she left Corrin standing alone.
Little do they know that Blake was following them and had overheard their conversation.
"I knew it. Those months do have helped me. I knew it that Corrin is keeping something from us. I ow have to dig it deeper." She said to herself as she left.
Meanwhile, Leon was working on his computer ad it looked as if he is searching for someone.
James entered the room and dropped his body into his bed, "Don't say that you had again started searching for him."
"James, don't know why but I had this feeling he is alive somewhere" Leon replied.
"We know nothing about him, Leon. Then how will you look for him?" James questioned.
"I don't know James. All I know is that He is out there and I will find him." Leon seemed too determined.
"Okay then, Count me in too" James replied, "but for now you should head to your grandpa's house. He want you to spend today night at their place."
"James! He is grandpa to all three of us" Leon sighed, "I don't get it why you hate mom and him so much"
"Yeah! Yeah! Okay! okay!" James kind of ignored.
"James!" Leon eyed James with a more serious tone.
"Look brother!" James stood up, "we had conversed over this topic many a times and I don't want to have the same arguments again. Now excuse me I have to go and check on Tabitha."
"James…" Leon frowned as James left the room shutting the door beside him.
At Zahavyin resident, Twyla was at the door steps as she presses the doorbell. The door opened and a woman in her late thirties emerged from the door with a too sweet smile on her face.
"Oh look who is here. Twyla Princess." said the woman sarcastically, "You are way early Princess. I had asked you to return by 6:30 and you are at 6:45. Not good."
"Mo.. mom I had a work to do that took a bit longer. I.. I.. pro.. Promise This will not happen again"
"Oh don't worry Dear, I will make sure you do the same" said the woman as her expression changed to a bit angry.
At night, At Dunt resident, Eldon and Roxy were sleeping while their parents were sitting outside.
"Jim, I think the time is coming" said the woman in her mid-fifties.
"Tina, they are just kids. I know Eldon and Roxy are destined to do this but…" said the Jim but was interrupted by Tina.
"Jim, me and my brother were told about this when we were of same age. It is a family tradition rather say responsibility given to my family" Tina replied.
"I don't care" shouted Jim.
"Jim this is their destiny. You will not be able to keep them away from it. The fate will show them the way" Tina tried to convince her husband.
"If it so then let fate do the work" Jim replied and left inside the home.
Meanwhile James was on his bed when a message popped up on the screen.
"Open the window please!"
James checked the number. It was from… it was from Blaise. James rushed to the window and opened it and saw Blaise climbing to the window by the help of a ladder.
"What the hell…" were the words that escaped his mouth before Blaise came up and kissed on his lips.
"Look I am sorry James for what I did earlier. I was a stupid back then. I was afraid of being a homosexual. But now I realize I love you. I love you soo much and I realized that all this is nothing wrong." Blaise said as he again kissed James on his lips but James pushed him back.
"Blaise Hawking ! I am not a toy." James replied listening to which Blaise was shocked, "First you punched me, then you tried soo much to make me forget about what happened between us and now when I am about to over it, you suddenly realize you love me… Get out from here right now."
"James that was my fault and I am accepting it. Isn't it enough." Blaise replied controlling the anger building inside him.
"No it isn't." James kind of shouted, "I am not a toy you s*** head, I have emotions, a trust that you had broken. Broken to the core. Now get the hell out of here."
"I don't get it why you want to make that much big issue out of it. And if you are not understanding then F*** you! I am leaving" Blaise shouted back and left from the way he came.
Blaise climbed down the ladder and before leaving looked at the window. Unseen to them there were tears in both of their eyes and unknown to them, Tabitha had watched and heard everything.
At the same time Lexi was lying on her bed fully awake. It looked as if the sleep had left her eyes.
"Looks like you are way too happy after joining the team." said Aloora as her spirit formed out of air.
"Yeah! I always had wondered about them being in a problem and in hurry when I met them now I realize that they were the rangers." Lexi answered.
"Lexi, You had gained your powers as a ranger but remember you still have a long journey ahead and there are three power sources and four people that you will need to defeat that monster of evil Zuthora. Find them. They are hidden around you." Aloora guided her.
"But how will I do that?" questioned Lexi.
"Look into the old prophecies and history of Gordola. Your answers lie hidden in them. But remember, this search is yours to do only." Aloora told and warned her before dissolving into thin air.
At the Zuthora Base, Zuthora entered the secret and forbidden prison where Skulker was kept.
"You might had gone against me but your powers will be mine to serve only" Zuthora laughed evilly as he injected an indigo stone in Skulker's chest.
The screen went black with Skulkers cries in background.
