Zoe's Narration
For eight years, I have always wondered what happened to my sister Iris. We assumed that she was dead, but to my surprise she was alive all this time. Plus she was held against her will and out under mind control by Crushmis. I suppose what that spirit told me was true during that battle with the Monster Hunter rangers. Plus what I am about to learn that Iris was put through horrible things as well.
End Narration
A couple of days has passed since the rangers freed Dark Life through the efforts of the purple ranger, Zoe. The Beckett's are about to get the ultimate surprise as Iris is alive and in the hospital.
At the Beckett residence, Zoe is doing her homework as Charlie is on the phone. He has a stunned look on his face as he is about to be in complete shock. "I will be right there". Charlie said as the phone call ends.
Zoe looks at her dad as he is completely blown away by the sudden news. "Dad what's wrong"? Zoe asks Charlie.
Charlie looks at his daughter. "I am not sure how is this possible, but your sister is alive and in the hospital. She is also awake". Charlie said to Zoe.
Zoe is very surprised by it even though she and her friends are the ones that brought her there in the first place. "Can I come with you"? Zoe asks Charlie.
Charlie nods to Zoe. "Of course", Charlie said to Zoe. As the two leave the house, Zoe looks at him. "Should we call mom about this"? Zoe asks Charlie.
Charlie shakes his head as he feels that Angela does not have the right to know. "No, she blamed you for Iris's disappearance, but now Iris is alive and we will learn what really happened". Charlie said to Zoe. Zoe nods to her father as they got into the car.
At the hospital, Iris looks around in the recovery room. 'This is different than being back at that place'. Iris thought to herself. A nurse walk in the room. "Hey Iris, you got a couple of visitors. They have been wondering what happened to you. Should I send them in"? The nurse asks Iris.
Iris nods as she is curious on who it is. "Yeah", Iris said to the nurse. The nurse nods as she allows Zoe and Charlie to walk on the room.
Charlie has tears of happiness in his eyes. "Iris do you remember me"? Charlie asks Iris.
Iris looks at the man as she does remember him. "A little bit, are you my dad"? Iris asks Charlie.
Charlie nods as he is happy to see his daughter. "Yes I am Iris". Charlie said to Iris.
All the sudden, they hear another female voice. "I am Iris's mother, and how come I was not notified about it". Angela said to the nurse.
The nurse looks scared as she does not know what to do. "Ma'am, I was not the one that notified them about this". The nurse said to Angela.
Charlie walks out from the room. "Angela what are you doing here"? Charlie asks Angela.
Angela looks at her ex husband. "I heard whispers that my daughter Iris is here and awake". Angela said to Charlie.
Charlie glares at Angela. "You know that Zoe is also your daughter as well. Plus Iris is alive and brought back safely. You got to stop blaming Zoe for the disappearance. If you want to see Iris, you got to put it to an end". Charlie said to Angela.
Angela looks at Charlie as she realizes that Zoe is also here. "Fine", Angela said to Charlie. Charlie nods as they walk back into the room.
Back in the room, Angela looks at Iris as she is happy to see her. "Iris, it's mommy, don't you remember me"? Angela said to Iris.
Iris looks at Angela as she some what remembers her. "A little bit", Iris said to Angela.
As the family is about to learn about her injuries, a police detective walks in the room. "I am hoping to get Iris's statement about what happened". The detective said to them.
Angela looks at the detective. "Zoe should have all the answers because she was the last person to see Iris". Angela said to the police detective.
Iris is dismayed by her mom's behavior. 'I guess the purple ranger was not lying about mom's attitude towards her'. Iris thought to herself. "I do remember what happened on that day, and it was not Zoe's fault that I got taken". Iris said to them.
The adults look at Iris as Angela is dismayed by it. "What do you mean it's not Zoe's fault"? Angela asks Iris.
Iris glares at Angela as she is getting upset. "That thing was going to kidnap Zoe, and I sacrificed myself to save her. Zoe was the intended target back then not me". Iris said to them.
Everyone in the room is stunned to hear this. "Wait a minute, Zoe was the target to be kidnapped not you". Charlie said to Iris.
Iris nods to them. "Yeah I will tell you everything that happened to me". Iris said to them.
Flashback
Eight year old Iris and Zoe were playing together. All the sudden, they got surrounded by the Underbots. Zoe got really scared. "Iris what are those things"? Zoe asks Iris. "I don't know Zoe. We better make a run for it". Iris said to Zoe.
Zoe nods to Iris as the two runs from the Underbots. Zoe is holding to Iris's hand as they are trying to get away from them. All the sudden, Zoe gets grabbed from behind by Zongbot. "Help me", Zoe said to Iris.
Iris looks at the robotic officer. "Let her go you dumb not", Iris said she kicks at him. Zongbot was forced to release Zoe as it pushes her down. Zongbot grabs Iris as he knocks her out as it thinks it is Zoe. Come along Zoe, the master is waiting for you". Zongbot said to the right year old girl as they teleport away.
A while later, Iris is coming around as she is on a table. She is heavily restrained. "Master Crushmis, I bring you Zoe Beckett". Zongbot said to the man called Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at the eight year old girl. "Oh Zoe, pretty soon you will become my daughter and forget everything that you have ever known". Crushmis said to Iris (Zoe).
Iris is getting really scared as they were after her younger sister. "I want to go home to mommy, daddy, and to my sister.
Please let me go". Iris (Zoe) said to Crushmis.
Crushmis slaps Iris in the face. "You will not escape from his place, Zoe. I know you have a lot of darkness inside of you". Crushmis said to Iris (Zoe).
Iris glares at Crushmis as she is struggling with the restraints on her. "Let me go", Iris said to Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at Iris (Zoe) as she is being incorporative with him. "You will learn to obey me, Zoe. Sergiobot, take her to the in the special chamber". Crushmis said to them.
Another robotic officer named Sergiobot wheels her to the special chamber. Iris frowns as she is brought in the room. She notices a woman in chains. Crushmis walks in the room. "You have a roommate my lovely Josephine". Crushmis said to the woman name Josephine.
Josephine notices the 8 year old girl being brought in the chamber. "You sick and twisted man, she deserves to back home with her parents". Josephine said to Crushmis.
Crushmis slaps Josephine in the face. "She will become my daughter, Josephine. One day, she will be taking orders from me. Until that day comes, she is your roommate". Crushmis said to Josephine as he leaves the room. Sergiobot pushes Iris in the room as he also leaves the room.
Iris looks at the woman as she is scared. "Does that man usually hurt you while being in here"? Iris asks Josephine.
Josephine nods as she comforts her. "Yes, I have been held captive here for a long time. I will be there for you". Josephine said to Iris. Iris nods to Josephine as she cries in her arms.
End Flashback
"There were days that Crushmis did not come in the room, and there were days that he did came in the room. Often times, I remember the woman named Josephine comforting me when he hurt me when I disobeyed him. Then one day, I was taken out from that room. Crushmis said that it is my transformation day.
Flashback
Iris and Josephine are sitting next to each other. All the sudden, Crushmis and Sergiobot walk in the room. "Today is transformation day. From now on, you will be my warrior and my special solider". Crushmis said to Iris (Zoe).
Iris frowns as she does not like the sound of the transformation day. Josephine defends Iris. "Stay away from her, it has been a year since you cruelly brought her here". Josephine said to Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at Josephine as he punches her in the face. "I will deal with you later, Josephine. Iris, your family is dead. There is no use to hope to be rescued by them now". Crushmis said to Iris (Zoe).
Iris is stunned by the news as she does not know if it is really true or not. Sergiobot grabs Iris as Josephine is heartbroken to see the small girl that she bonded with in the past year is being transformed. "No don't take her, take me instead", Josephine said to them as she is willing to sacrifice herself to save Iris.
Crushmis presses a button as the mechinal arms grabs Josephine. "You really gotten close to her. You will regret doing that". Crushmis said to Josephine as she is being dragged to a machine.
Iris is stunned by it as she screams for her. "Josephine", Iris said to her as Sergiobot takes her to a different room.
In a different room, Iris is on a table that is on a conveyer belt. She sees the three choker necklaces being put on her around her neck. Crushmis looks at Iris. "You will become Dark Life, Zoe. There is nothing more you can do now. You will be under my control. You will destroy anyone that gets in your way". Crushmis said to Iris (Zoe).
As the conveyer belt is turned on, Iris is being sent to a machine. A mask is being put on her face. "No please, I want to go home. Mom, dad, Zoe, I need you". Iris said as she being sent into the machine.
The light from the machine hits the three choker necklaces as it greatly effecting Iris. As Iris screams, she is getting transformed into Dark Life. She has a black suit similar to Crushmis as she has armor on her body as well. "Zoe, I miss and love you". Iris said as it is the last thing she said before the evil mind control from the choker necklaces took over her.
Once the transformation is complete, Crushmis meets Dark Life. "Dark Life, you will now start your training to become my special creation, and you are my daughter". Crushmis said to Dark Life.
Dark Life's eyes glowed as she looks at Crushmis. "Yes father", Dark Life said to Crushmis.
End Flashback
Iris is crying as she being comforted by Zoe. "I am sorry that you had to deal with that, Iris". Zoe said to Iris.
Angela looks at them as she remembers her old boss. The police detective looks at Iris. Do you remember who Crushmis's actual name by any chance"? The police detective asks Iris.
Iris looks at them. "His name is Harold Simmons. Josephine was the only one that ever said his name, and that made him very angry like he does not go by that name anymore. Please don't make me go back to that place". Iris said to them as she is crying again.
The police detective shakes his head. "You will be safe here". The police detective said to Iris.
Angela looks at them as she has two broken daughters. "Well, now that I can see that both of them are broken, there is no need for me to stick around". Angela said to them. She leaves the room.
Iris and Zoe are deeply upset by this as they are both crying. Charlie frowns as he has to deal with this again. "Everything will be alright girls, I promise you both that everything will be alright". Charlie said to them.
The police detective nods as he leaves the room. "Harold Simmons will be brought to justice one day, Mr. Beckett". The police detective said to them.
Charlie nods as he looks at the police detective. "I hope for that as well". Charlie said to the police detective. The police detective leaves the hospital as he heads back to the station.
Meanwhile, a group of fire fighters are putting out the fire that is happening at the secret lab. The fire is really big as the firefighters from Norland, Unity Lakes, Warrior Heights, Meadowedge, and Mystic Hallow join with the Reefside Fire Department to put the fire out.
One of the fire fighters look at the massive flames. "Hey Calvin, have you ever seen flames this big before"? One of the fire fighters asks the guy.
Zack Calvin looks at his fellow firefighter. "No what ever this place is, it is really burning". Zack said to his fellow firefighter.
As they put the fire out, the fire fighters look at the remains of a charred out building. Zack has shivers going down his back. "Any ideas what caused the fire or the explosion"? Zack asks them. "No clue", another firefighter said to Zack.
Zack looks around and notices something that didn't burn in the fire. It is the machine that used to transform people into creations. "What ever this place was, someone when through a lot of trouble of destroying this place". The other firefighter said to Zack.
Zack nods as this will becoming a criminal investigation. "Who ever is responsible for explosive fire, they will be brought to justice". Zack said to them. However they will have no clue that Crushmis is behind the explosion and fire.
