Chapter 38: Verna and the Pirate Part 1
It has been a couple of days since the sudden ambush at the school. Daniel and Mel came out to their families as brother and sister. The families did know about them and explained to them that their biological mother did make that choice to give them up for adoption.
Plus Rory and Kiki has recovered nicely at the hospital. However Wes did visit Rory. However he got a small glimpse of her in her room, but he noticed that her dad is visiting with her at the time. He made sure that he left the hospital before they spotted him. Mr. Lawerence look at the door as he got a glimpse of Wes. He is slightly taken back by him. 'Could that be Wesley? I know it has been a long time since I last saw him, but I can't break my daughter's heart broken again'. Mr. Lawerence thought to himself as he turns his attention to Kiki.
At the Evil Castle, Xolicernic has an evil smirk on his face as he know who that dot represents. 'So that teenage pirate has been here on Earth all this time, and plus he has grown up as well. I want to make things a bit more special for the purple ranger'. Xolicernic thought to himself as he is heading to Dr. Eelmore's lab.
In the lab, Dr. Eelmore is getting the last monster to send out against the rangers. Xolicernic walks in the lab as he spots the monster. "Is that the monster you have in mind for the purple ranger"? Xolicernic asks Dr. Eelmore.
Dr. Eelmore looks at Xolicernic as he nods to him. "Yes, it has a bit of the chimp monster, the stamper brander, and the dove monster". Dr. Eelmore said to Xolicernic.
Xolicernic looks at the monster as all three monsters has done horrible things to the various rangers that it first came across. "Yes this monster will be perfect for that purple ranger". Xolicernic said to Dr. Eelmore.
The monster is a hybrid mix three monsters from the past. "It is called Dovophander. I have to give some credit to you about the Stamper Brander. The design of it is genius". Dr. Eelmore said to Xolicernic.
Xolicernic nods as he remembers creating the monster. "Yes that monster did brought great pain to those Lore Keeper Rangers especially the red and blue ranger". Xolicernic said to Dr. Eelmore.
Dr. Eelmore nods as he turns to Dovophander. "Dovophander, it is time for you to attack and destroy the rangers, and your special target is the purple ranger.
Dovophander nods as it looks at Dr. Eelmore and Xolicernic. "It will be my pleasure to get them especially the purple ranger". Dovophander said to them as it leaves the castle.
Xolicernic also leaves the castle as he has a plan to lure out the very being that it saw. "Once I attack the Rangers especially the purple, he will come as well". Xolicernic said to himself as he takes off.
Back at the Cave, the teens are gathered together as they are having a party for Rory and Kiki as they are officially out of the hospital. "I am glad that you two are ok". Mari said to them.
Ash nods as he looks at Kiki. "Yeah plus what I don't get is why that woman even showed up at the school in the first place". Ash said to them.
The teens nod as they want to know as well. Daniel sighs as he looks at them. "Apparently that woman that showed up is Mel and I biological grandmother on our biological mother's side of the family. She was a private investigator but had to retire when her psychosis and dementia got in the way. She was not on her meds. Word is that she launched her own investigation on our biological mother and who was she was dating. She freaked out when she was dating married men and who had different skin tone. She pretty much told her that we are corrupted children and demanded to tell her who was the father. When our biological mother refused to tell her who they are, she stood up to her and left. Our biological mother was one of the captive pregnant women being held captive, but she was the one that was set freed by Melissa. When our biological mother gave birth to us, she did it alone and made sure that her mom was not there for the birth. She made the decision to give us up for adoption to protect us from her mother". Daniel said to them.
Melissa nods as she looks at them. "The police told us all of this because the cop that found her stayed with her through the rest of the pregnancy. It also turns out that both of our names are name sakes. Daniel is named after the cop that rescued her, and I am named after Melissa because she was the one that freed us. Our biological mother is on her deathbed from cancer. I never thought if we ever get the chance to meet our biological mother". Mel said to them.
The teens wince as they look at Mel and Daniel. "Wow, who would have thought that your names are true namesakes". Ash said to them.
As the teens are talking, it gets Verna thinking about her impending moment when she has her encounter. 'The others already had their encounter with someone, and I am the last one. It makes me wonder how it will happen'. Verna thought to herself.
All the sudden, Verna went to her knees as she is getting a vision. The teens turn as they see Verna holding her head. "Verna", Harry said to Verna as he goes in to help her.
Vision
The rangers are facing a strange monster. As the monster is getting them overwhelmed, Xolicernic also shows up to make things even more difficult. As he fires a weapon at her, a mysterious being also shows up to protect her. "Stay away from her Xolicernic. If you want to get to her, you have to go through me first". The mysterious being said to Xolicernic.
End Vision
The teens look at each other as they help Verna. "Are you alright Verna"? Liz asks Verna. She helps her to the med bay.
Verna nods as she looks at the teens. "I will be fine. I am processing the vision I had". Verna said to them.
Aiden looks at Verna as he is wondering about it. "What did you see though"? Aiden asks Verna.
Verna looks at them as she is not sure how to explain it to them. "I saw a monster attacking us, and then everything got instantly worse when Xolicernic shows up. All the sudden, a mysterious being shows up and protects me for some reason". Verna said to them.
The teens are stunned by the vision. "Woah wait a minute, what did this being look like though"? Will asks Verna.
Verna looks at Will as thinks back to the vision. "The being looked like a pirate. He had on pirate outfit like he truly is one. Plus on top of that, the pirate knows who Xolicernic is like it has met him before. Plus he said to stay away from me for some reason. It is like he is protecting me". Verna said to them.
Mari looks at Verna as it is different from what they normally deal with. "Woah wait a minute, how does the pirate and Xolicernic know each other? Plus this pirate could be very bad news as well". Mari said to them.
Kara nods as she is confused by it. "Yeah although, it is strange and unusual for a pirate to protect someone". Kara said to them.
Daniel nods as he looks at Kara. "Yeah I mean isn't pirates are usually villains though"? Daniel said to them.
Mel shrugs as she looks at them. "It maybe that this pirate is one of the few that are on our side. I mean it did came to protect Verna in the vision". Mel said to them.
Ash looks at them as this is confusing. "We shouldn't draw to conclusions about this just yet. Until we know for sure about it, we should stay on guard for anything". Ash said to them.
Melissa nods as she looks at Ash. "Ash is right rangers. Plus Xolicernic is a villain that shouldn't be taken lightly in battle". Melissa said to them.
Rory nods as he looks at them. "Plus it is getting close to dinner time. All of you should head home". Rory said to them. The teens nod as they leave the cave.
As they leave the Cave, Harry looks at Verna as he has the courage to walk up to her. "Hey Verna, I am wondering if you will allow me to walk you home". Harry said to Verna.
Verna looks at Harry as she is surprised by it. "You want to walk me home, but why"? Verna asks Harry as she is curious about it.
Harry looks at Verna as he nods to her. "I do want to make sure you get home ok". Harry said to Verna.
Verna looks at Harry as she senses that there is more to the story, but she does not press it. "Alright", Verna said to Harry.
As the two leave together, the teens look at them. "I get the feeling that those two will become the first ranger couple on our team". Kiki said to them. The teens look at each other as they shrug in agreement as they head home.
As Harry and Verna are heading towards Verna's house, Verna looks at Harry as she gets a special feeling about him. "So why did you ask me if you could walk me home"? Verna asks Harry.
Harry looks at Verna as he has a blush on his face. "Verna I really like you. You are not like other girls at school. Plus I do deeply care about you". Harry said to Verna.
Verna looks at Harry as she is deeply touched as she looks at Harry. "Harry", Verna said to Harry. She is about to say something when an unexpected being shows up.
As the being looks at them, he gives a look at Harry as he is with Verna. He has that fatherly expression on his face. "If you even hurt her or break her heart, I will not be a very nice guy as you humans would say". The being said to them as he leaves.
Harry looks like he just got the talk as he is freaking out. "Who was that"? Harry asks Verna.
Verna shrugs as she has no idea. "I do not know but he beat my dad to it when and if we start dating. On top of that, it is plain weird coming from a complete stranger". Verna said to Harry.
Harry nods as he looks at Verna. "Yeah I mean if it was from your dad, it would have been done when we came out as boyfriend and girlfriend". Harry said to Verna.
Verna nods as she smiles at Harry. "You are right about that". Verna said to Harry as they approached to her house. As the two parted ways, the two share a kiss on the cheek.
That night, Verna is tossing and turning in herself like she having a nightmare. A cold sweat is building on her forehead.
Dream Sequence
Verna finds herself in the past as she looks around. She is in Aurora Cove as she notices two people. The first person is the being that she and Harry saw, but the other person is a young teenage girl. They are hanging out at the pier. She is the splitting image of her. "Ok this is weird even for me". Verna said to herself.
"What do you see in that boy, Vanessa"? A man asks the girl named Vanessa. "It is time to bring you home Vanessa". The mother said to Vanessa. They are strict parents as they have a huge dislike for the being.
Vanessa looks at her father as she is stunned by him. "I see compassion and kindness. He does not see me as a freak with these eyes. No, I will not go home with you right now". Vanessa said to her mother.
The father looks at Vanessa as he shakes his head. "Vanessa, you got to accept that he is not good for you". The father said to Vanessa. "He is just like those other bad boys who appears to understand you". The mother said to Vanessa.
Vanessa looks at her parents as the being is right by her side. "He understands me lot more than any guy that you try to set me up with. You can not see the good in someone who looks so differently from everyone else. If you fail on seeing that, I will never speak to you or Vanessa said to her father and mother.
The being and Vanessa walk away together. "Vanessa, in a few weeks, we can get married and live the life we want". The being said to Vanessa. Vanessa smiles as she is truly happy with him. "Oh Z, I will patiently for my 18th birthday to spend the rest of my life with you. Everything is going according the plan". Vanessa said to the being that she nicknames Z.
Verna is stunned as she sees the love between Vanessa and Z. "Wow they truly loved each other". Verna said to herself.
As the scene changes, it shows Vanessa in her room as she has some suitcases in hiding for day she plans to move out. She purposely hides sonogram photos in her suitcase. "Hey Vanessa", her brother Damon said to Vanessa.
Vanessa looks as she sees her brother. "Damon, I thought you had practice". Vanessa said to Damon. He looks similar to her. He has a polo shirt with a dark wash jeans and tennis shoes.
Damon nods as he looks at Vanessa. The two often have code words for things. "It ran long. Plus dad has been on my case about stuff regarding sport and getting a girlfriend". Damon said to Vanessa.
Vanessa sighs as she looks at him. "Damon new code word", Vanessa said to Damon. She has a serious expression on her face.
Damon looks at Vanessa as they knew what it mean. They went to the closet. It is sound proof as they look at each other. "I am pregnant and". Vanessa said to Damon as the dream ends.
End Dream
Verna wakes up with a cold sweet on her forehead. She is confused by the dream. 'Could that being is the same being that Harry and I both saw today'? Verna thought to herself as she tries to drift back to sleep. Little does she know, the being will be at the battle unexpectedly.
End Chapter
I decided to end the chapter here. Plus things will get a bit crazy in the battle. Who was the girl going to say is the biological father of the baby? Plus what will happen in the battle.
