Chapter 37: Letting Fears Go
Ryan's Narration
To let go of your fears, it is something that most people can do pretty easily. However when you are paranoid like me, it is a lot harder to do. Sometimes you have to release those fears to save your friends and the saving the day. For me, it will be saving the girl that I have feelings for.
End Narration
In Eagleview, the talk among everyone is the safe return of Iris Beckett and the mysterious explosion of the strange building in Reefside. The wild rumors on what the building are flying around from being a factory to a old haunted house that people use to decorate for Halloween.
"These rumors are getting absolutely ridiculous". Lexi said to them as she is annoyed by it.
It is the topic of the day as they are sitting at lunch. "I have to agree especially the one about the haunted house that people decorate for Halloween. I mean who would blow up that? It is just music that does not make sense". Tyson said to them.
Bridgette looks at them as she nods in agreement. "Yeah they are ruling it as a criminal case, and now the FBI is investigating it". Bridgette said to them.
Ryan looks down on himself as it scares him deeply. Junior notices this in Ryan. "What I don't understand is why would some one blow a building up. I mean no one was in that building at the time". Junior said to them.
Gabe nods in agreement about it. "Yeah it is not like it was scheduled to be demolished". Gabe said to them.
Andy looks at Gabe as he nods as something else is bugging him. "Yeah but it happened out of the deepest darkest of blue though. However I find it coincidental that the creation said don't send me back to the lab in Reefside, and then a few days later that lab explodes". Andy said to them.
Zoe thinks back to what Iris said about her captive time. "My sister told me that she held captive at the same lab, and she spent time in a room with a woman named Josephine. When she told me about the transformation day, she was put on a conveyer belt towards a machine. It makes me wonder if it is that same lab that turned Iris into Dark Life". Zoe said to them.
Daphne nods to Zoe as she looks at Ryan who is really nervous and scared. "Ryan what's wrong"? Daphne asks Ryan.
Ryan looks at them. "If those people were brought there 16 years ago, they must have been through something really horrible. It makes me scared and paranoid if something like that happens with us". Ryan said to them.
The teens look at each other as it is something that it hits with them. Daphne looks at Ryan as she is a bit scared as well. "I am glad that you told us that you are scared, because I am scared too. There is one thing that you should do". Daphne said to Ryan.
Ryan is perplexed by what Daphne is about to say next. "What do you mean"? Ryan asks Daphne.
Daphne looks at Ryan as she knows exactly what it is. "You should let your fears go and let your Phoenix fly freely. You share the same mythical zord as Stella from Unity Force". Daphne said to Ryan.
Ryan looks at Daphne like it is a completely foreign concept to him. "How do I do that"? Ryan asks Daphne.
Daphne looks at Ryan as the bell rings to go back to class. "Have the courage to conquer it", Daphne said to Ryan.
As the teens went their separate ways back to class, Daphne's words hits to Ryan as he is deeply thinking about it. 'Have the courage to conquer it', Ryan thought to himself as he went to class.
Back at WC Lab Corp, Crushmis is in his office. "Zongbot I summon you". Crushmis said to Zongbot.
Zongbot walks in the CEO office as it is being summoned. "You summoned me Master". Zongbot said to Crushmis.
Crushmis looks at Zongbot. "Since Dark Life got reversed back to her human form, you are now welcome to come back into this room freely. I want you to pick a creation against the rangers. Pick something that is terrifying and scary for them". Crushmis said to Zongbot.
Zongbot has a devious look on its face. "It will be my pleasure master". Zongbot said to Crushmis as it leaves the room.
Zongbot walks into the creation chamber as it looks the various ones. He spots a creation in particular as it is terrifying look. The creation is a mutant clown as it has multiple arms and has that very creepy and terrifying smile. It has two choker necklaces around its neck.
"Zippo Clown, I summon you", Zongbot said to the creation called Zippo Clown. Zippo Clown's eyes glowed as it is being summoned. "I am ready to serve you". Zippo Clown as he has a creepy and scary laugher.
Zongbot looks at Zippo Clown as it rolls his eyes to Zippo Clown. "I want you to destroy the rangers". Zongbot said to Zippo Clown as it releases it from its cell.
Zippo Clown has an evil grin on its face as its teeth are black and yellow. "It will be my pleasure". Zippo Clown said to Zongbot as it leaves the WC Lab Corp.
That afternoon, Ryan is walking alone at the park as Linnie spots him. "Hey Ryan", Linnie said to Ryan.
Ryan turns around as he spots Linnie. "Hey Linnie, can I ask you something"? Ryan asks Linnie.
Linnie glances over to Ryan as she nods to him. "Sure", Linnie asks Ryan.
Ryan looks at Linnie as he takes a deep breath for this. "Have you let go of your fears before"? Ryan asks Linnie.
Linnie looks at Ryan as she remembers some events from her past. "Yeah I have, and it feels great letting it go. It feels like a weight has been removed from your chest". Linnie said to Ryan.
Ryan is starting to understand about it. "Was it really difficult to do it or was it really easy"? Ryan asks Linnie.
Linnie looks at Ryan as she thinks back to remember. "It was a bit difficult because I had to stand up to my former adoptive parents". Linnie said to Ryan.
Just as Ryan is going to ask about it, they get surrounded by Underbots and Zippo Clown. "Does this usually happens with you guys when something is coming out"? Linnie asks Ryan.
Ryan sighs as he grabs his morphor. "Unfortunately yes", Ryan said to Linnie. Linnie sighs in agreement as she grabs her morphor out as well.
"Daphne we got trouble at the park, and I have Linnie with me". Ryan said to Daphne.
"We are on the way". Daphne said to Ryan.
"Underdog Squad Let's Rise Up", Ryan said as he morphs into his ranger form.
"Underdog Squad Diamond Power Let's Rise Up", Linnie said as she morphs into her ranger form.
Zippo Clown looks at them as there are only two rangers out there. "I thought there are more of you rangers". Zippo Clown said to them.
Ryan froze as he is really scared of clowns. He is holding his weapon in his hands. "There are more of us". Ryan said as he nearly stutters as he looks at this mutant clown.
Linnie looks at Ryan as she realizes that he is scared of clowns. "Ryan, you with me", Linnie said to Ryan.
Ryan snaps out of it as he nods to Linnie. "Yeah", Ryan said to Linnie as they start fighting the Underbots and Zippo Clown.
It is not long that the other rangers arrive to help Linnie and Ryan. "Hey did you two need a helping hand"? Lexi said as she kicks at an Underbot. The underbot falls on its butt as the others are fires their weapons at them.
Ryan smiles underneath his helmet as he sees the others arriving. "Just in time", Ryan said to them.
Zippo Clown looks at them as it has its evilly excited face on. "More like in time for my show", Zippo Clown said to them as it pulls out a cloth. It looks like the creation is doing a magic trick.
As Zippo Clown throws the cloth, the cloth changes into a cloth with a giant set of teeth and lips.
The rangers are stunned by this as the red cloth hits Daphne. Daphne gets muzzled as she is wrapped by the cloth and disappears.
"Daphne", Davis yells out to Daphne but she does not respond back to him.
The rangers are stunned by this as their red ranger has disappeared. "Where did you put Daphne and what did you do to her"? Junior asks as he charges in as he slashed at Zippo Clown.
Zippo Clown has a sick and twisted look on his face. He has a gold cloth ready. "This is too easy and fun". Zippo Clown said as he throws the same kind of cloth at Junior. Junior tries to dodge the gold colored cloth but it got to him as well.
The rangers are stunned that Junior also got caught as well. "Oh no, that cloth thing got Junior as well". Zoe said to them. "Class clowns is one thing I can deal with but not haunted house clowns". Gwen said to them. "This is really bad piece of music". Tyson said to them.
Lexi looks at them as she is second in command. "Stay on guard you guys, we will never know what that clown freak will pull out next". Lexi said to them.
Andy nods in agreement with Lexi. "Lexi is right, and plus we need to figure out how to get Daphne and Junior out". Andy said to them.
As the rangers nod, they get back into the fight against the Zippo Clown. However, the Zippo Clown has trip up the other rangers as they got to them.
Throughout the entire battle, Ryan has dodge the Zippo Clown as it appeared to him like it is trying to trap him. He watches each one of the rest of his teammates getting captured into the jar. He notices a jar on the creation's waist as it has the various ranger colors of his captured teammates.
'My friends, my teammates, they are in trouble because of that stupid and psychotic clown. I am the only one that can face it now, and yet I am afraid of clowns'. Ryan thought to himself as he does not know what to do.
As it hits him, Ryan remembers what Daphne and Linnie said to him about having the courage to stand up and facing a fear.
"Any last words before I have you in my person jar of fears". Zippo Clown said to Ryan.
Ryan glares at Zippo Clown like he has a newfound courage that he never knew he has in him. "Yeah how about this", Ryan said as he slashes at the jar on its waist.
As the jar drops and breaks, it releases the rangers as they land on the ground. "How did we end up back outside"? Gabe asks them. "It must be Ryan". Bridgette said to them.
Zippo Clown frowns as it lost its jar. "No, not my jar of fears", Zippo Clown said to them.
Ryan glares at the creation as he has a power boost. "I may be afraid and paranoid about a lot of things, but I will conquer all of my fears one at time. You will be the first fear to conquer". Ryan said to them.
The teens are stunned to see this in Ryan. "This just what happened with Zoe". Bridgette said to them.
Power of the Pearl Phoenix Let's Rise Up", Ryan yells out loud as he has a power boost.
Secondary Mode
Ryan has a his ranger suit in a bright white as he has pieces of pearl becoming armor for his legs, chest, and arms. The phoenix that is with her has more of a body than before as it is still with him. Ryan is in his ranger pose, Pearl Phoenix Underdog Squad White Ranger". Ryan said as he is in his new pose.
End Secondary mode
The rangers are amazed by it as they look Ryan's secondary form. "That clown is ancient history". Gabe said to them. "You said it all right there". Junior said to them.
Zippo Clown has a sweat drop as he realizes that it has lost the fight. "Can we talk about this? You can join me". Zippo Clown said to Ryan.
Ryan looks like he has not changed his mind. "How about you taking a hike. Pearl Phoenix Let's Rise Up", Ryan said as he summons the Pearl Phoenix.
Again with Zoe, the Pearl Phoenix has more of a body than a spirit form. As they both finish the Zippo Clown off, they destroyed the choker necklaces. Zippo Clown reversed back to his human civilian form. He is a heavier man like he is one of the mail men or the janitor who worked at WC Lab Corp. The rangers sigh as they take him to the hospital and head back to the boat.
Back on the boat, the teens look at Zoe and Ryan. "You two really gotten a power boost". Daphne said to them.
Ken nods as he has analyzed the battle footage. "It seems to happen when you have realized something important deep within, you gain the power boost". Ken said to them.
The teens nod to each other as they wonder when it will happen for them. "It sounds really cool". Lexi said to them. "You bet". Gwen said to them. As they went home, it occurred to Bridgette that it is in a pattern. 'It first started with Zoe and now Ryan. I wonder if it follows according to the parts of the Underdog Triad'. Bridgette thought to herself as she is heads out from the boat with the other rangers.
