Chapter 54: Reunited Part 2
Note: Okay I am skipping to Phaedos. I figure you people are as tired of reading about the same things from different POV's as the reviewers in the other story were. As much as I am I think three or four chapters away from the sequel to this so stay tuned.
Note 2: Chapter Dedication is to Barfmaster with review 202. Enjoy.
Friday 9:00 AM
Dark War Executioner Bridge
Everyone who was going to Phaedos was on the bridge in their uniforms. Destany in her Black Knight uniform which was a black
long sleeve turtleneck, stretchy black glossy tights, black boots, and a black leather sleeveless vest with "Black Falcon Knight"
written across it in big white letters across it's back. The six Fire Squad Rangers had on their sleeveless t-shirts on and their black
jeans, black boots, and black leather coats. SPD was in their regular uniforms Syd in pink, Sky in red, Miranda in green, and
Madison also in pink. Andros and Ashley were in their Astro Ranger uniforms. Hayley was wearing red and jeans with tennis shoes
while Kat was wearing a pink sweater along with jeans and hiking boots. The six Ninjetti Rangers were in their Ninjetti Warrior
garbs. Though they had their head pieces down revealing their faces and headbands.
"ENTERING PHAEDOS ATMOSPHERE IN THIRTY SECONDS," The computer told them. "Thank you Ex. I would like you
to stay in orbit directly above the plateau for the duration of the trip," Titan told the computer. "ENTERING PHAEDOS
ATMOSPHERE NOW. INCOMING TRANSMISSION," The AI computer told Titan. "On screen." After Titan said that four
figures stood in a row looking into the transmission. "Hey guys. Dulcea, Ninjor, Z, James. Nice to see you all. We will teleport
down soon." Titan greeted them. "Thank you for your greeting Titan. We are prepared for your arrival. We shall see you soon,"
After Dulcea spoke the transmission was terminated. "Ex, teleport all occupants of the bridge to the plateau in thirty seconds," Titan
told the computer. "YES GENERAL," The computer responded. Titan got up and joined the others. Just as he joined the group
they were teleported to Phaedos.
Plateau of The Ancient Ninjetti, Phaedos
The group landed on the plateau. The SPD team landed in a heap while everyone else landed safely on their feet. Titan quickly
walked over and was greeted by the other masters. "Miranda, Adam, please come here," Titan called to the father and daughter.
When Miranda saw Dulcea she ran into her mothers arms. They were a family separated for far too long. Adam had tears in his
eyes. Miranda and Dulcea were crying in equally strong embraces. Finally after Adam approached them the mother and daughter
separated letting Adam take Miranda's place. After a few moments Sky decided to speak. "Not that this is not a beautiful reunion
but we need to begin," Adam and Dulcea released their embrace nodding. "Young offspring of the Ninjetti. Your journey begins
here on the plateau. As your name is called please step forward and accept the first part of your destiny." Ninjor instructed to the
large group on the plateau. "First Princess Destany Dickson., step forward. Who presents this woman?" The White Tiger (Jamison
Dantly) asks. "I Titan, Master Warrior of the Ninjetti." Titan yelled to the master. Next Ninjor steps up. "Ronald Cranston. Please
step forward," Ron steps up beside Destany. "Who presents this young man? Ninjor asked the group. "I the Wolf, Ninjetti
Warrior." Billy yelled to the old master. "Abigail Hammond, come forth," Titan commanded. Star steps up beside Ron. "Your
parents are not Ninjetti. They need not present you," Titan told the group. "Then why are we here?" Ashley asked almost
disappointed. "I thought you could use a vacation," Titan replied and stepped back prompting the old bald monk-like mage to step
forward. "Will Adonia, Thadea, and Maxwell Oliver please step forward," The Dragon (Zordon) requested. "Will the sire of these
children please step forward?" Tommy whispered something to Kim before Stepping forward and speaking. "I am The Falcon."
"Welcome back my son," The Dragon told him. "Thank you father," Tommy told him causing everyone but Kim to look at the
Falcon. "Rangers and presenters please follow me to the fireplace." Dulcea told them walking off.
After Dulcea had Fire Squad gone Ninjor continued on. "Madison DeSantos." Ninjor called causing Madison to step forward.
"Who presents this one?" Ninjor asked the remaining group. "I the Bear," Aisha called back. "And I the Ape," Rocky called
proudly. "Miranda Park, step forward." Dragon pronounces. Miranda steps up beside Madison. "Who presents this woman?"
Dragon asked kindly. "I the Frog," Adam responded in his strong silent voice. "Sydney Drew-Oliver and Skyler Tate-Collins. Step
forward." Titan ordered in a gentile yet commanding voice. The two take each others hand and walk up beside Miranda. Titan
couldn't help but to smile at the couple. "Who presents these two?" He asked more kindly. "I the Crane," Kimberly spoke up. "Will
the Rangers and presenters please follow me?" Ninjor asked before walking toward the fire with the others behind him. As Zordon
began to walk he was halted by Titan putting a hand on his shoulder. "Z, I wish I could help Destany. I don't want to take a chance
of losing her too" Titan told the mage/sage. "Joe, you know I lost my son as well years ago," "Yes Zordon, but you got him back,
got to personally marry him, and have met your grand-children. If I lose Destany, I lose everything I have left. I don't know if I can
ever lose her Z," Titan said with his head down. "It states in the parchment of the Ancient Ninjetti that a parent can accompany her,"
Titan stated sadly. "You are a master, you can not," Zordon told him. "No but I know a non-Ninjetti that I would like to send in my
place," He told the legendary mage. "Who?" Zordon asked curiously. "In the original course of things, during Countdown your tube
would have been destroyed. I would like to send the man who was supposed to save the galaxy," Titan told his friend. "Who would
that person be?" Zordon asked patiently. "I want to send Andros to accompany my daughter," Titan said in an almost pleading
voice. "I accept as I am sure the other masters will as well," Zordon told him. "Thank you Zordon. Now we should catch up," Titan
told him and went with them to walk through up to the plateau.
After everyone was around the fireplace Dulcea began speaking. "Buried deep within each of us is an animal spirit waiting to be
released.," She told the group. "Now it seems we have two teams. Would the Fire Squad team please step forward?" The seven
members of the Fire Squad team step around the fire. "Close your eyes and look deep inside," She told them. The elder Ninjetti
watched on as the newer generation does as they did so long ago. The old rangers watched as Dulcea blew the powder on their
children and they dawned the garbs of the Ninjetti. Dulcea walked up to the first in line and began with the woman in yellow.
"Abigail, gentile and kind, you are the deer," Dulcea watched the smile dawn on the face of the young woman with pride. Then she
makes her next stop. Dulcea then stopped in front of her second young Ninjetti, this one dressed in blue. "Ron, cunning and quick
witted, you are the fox," She told him as he nodded to her. Next Dulcea stepped over to the girl in black and notices a frown on the
girls face. "Valora what is wrong?" Dulcea asked knowing full well it was her animal. "I'm a bitch," Lora told her causing the entire
plateau to erupt with laughter. Even Zordon couldn't hide his amusement any more than Katherine could hide her embarrassment
from her daughter's choice in words. "In a sense, you are the dog, loyal, and noble," Dulcea tells the young woman between
chuckles. Next she stepped beside a woman in pink. "Thadea, graceful and innocent, you are the beautiful swan," Dulcea told her
before stepping over to her sister in green. "Adonia; intuitive, fierce, you are the mighty hawk," Dulcea told the young woman before
she stepped over to the one in red. Dulcea couldn't help but see how nervous Titan was at the appearance. "Destany, peaceful and
loving, you are the gorgeous dove," Dulcea told the young woman who gave a beaming smile towards the priestess and then her
father. "Finally, young Max, passionate and adventurous, you are the tiercel." Dulcea concluded to the group as they gave a round
of hugs.
Next up is the SPD team. "Fire Squad, please relinquish your places to the Space Patrol Delta team." Ninjor told them prompting
the SPD group to step up before Ninjor. Ninjor started walking in the square the four had made. "Your journey is about to begin.
Close your eyes and concentrate. I shall guide you I your quest for knowledge and power. Older than time itself man has always
known the calling, light of the light, strength of the soul ignite this eternal power inside of me. I am ninja! I am pure of heart, body,
mind, and spirit. Join with me now as I join with the power of ninja!" Ninjor felt a sense of pride as he saw the group in their garbs.
"Your journey is now complete open your eyes and claim your destiny.," Ninjor concluded. As the four opened their eyes they
looked at their bodies and noticed a great deal of changes including uniforms and colors. Ninjor walked up to the first member of
the group dressed in pink. "Madison, light hearted and carefree, you are the dragonfly," Ninjor told her as she looked at her parents
and smiled. Next person he looked to was wearing green. "Miranda, full of heart and tough as iron, you are the panda," He said as
he nodded noticing the tear in Miranda's eye as she knew she was one step closer to being what she always wanted. He then
stepped before the one in red. "Sydney, strong and fierce, you are the firebird, sister of the phoenix." Ninjor told the young woman.
Syd just nodded remembering the story Titan had told her earlier. Finally he walked over to a man in white. "Skyler, the determined,
strong-willed, protector, you are the beaver," Ninjor told Sky and noticed a forced smile. "I know you will have reservations about
this animal but it fits you perfectly. The beaver is determined to be perfect at whatever he does, its strength comes from within, it is
determined to protect those close to him and never fail them. In these things you and your spirit share an abundance of," Ninjor told
Sky as he noticed a genuine smile on the young man's face. Ninjor stepped back and Titan stepped forward.
"Original Ninjetti of earth, step up to the fire." The six elder Ninjetti did as they were instructed as the SPD team stepped back.
"You have served your spirits with pride and honor. We the masters are proud of you. You will now fulfill your destiny by escorting
your children through the jungle and become the new generation of Ninjetti Masters," The six were not expecting themselves to be
journeying the jungle and were somewhat shocked. "Dulcea, if you please." Dulcea got in front of the fire and blew the dust into it.
The fire then engulfed the group, but instead of burning them they stood there in new garbs (Men the same as Titan except color and
animal. Woman like Dulcea). "Open your eyes and embrace your new status," The group opened their eyes on Dulcea's request.
They looked at their new uniforms and smiled. "Rangers. The Dragon said getting the attention of the six. "You will guide your
children but will not fight. If you interfere they will fail. Your quest will have several mental obstacles. You will have to confront your
past while staying strong enough to guide them through their journey," Zordon told them. "We understand father." Tommy spoke up
for the group. "Andros, Ashley, and Jen please step forward." The three stepped up not really expecting to be brought into the
conversation. "You two (Pointing at Andros and Ashley) will go with the Fire Squad team. Ashley you will accompany Star.
However Andros you will not," Andros stood shocked that his wife was going but he was in limbo. "Don't get me wrong you will
go Andros. Due to the fact I am a master I can not go and I can not and will not leave my family unaccompanied. Andros you and
Tommy are the two greatest living rangers and I would be honored if you would be Destany's guardian on the journey," Andros
didn't know what to say, for once he was speechless. Titan had literally put his daughter's safety in his hands. "I-I would be
honored sir," Andros finally choked out to the master. "Thank you my friend. Protect Destany and I will be forever in your debt,"
He told his friend before walking over to Jen. "Jen, you will go with your son and the SPD team," Titan told Jen. "Now step up to
the fire and accept your animal spirits," Titan told the group. Andros, Ashley, and Jen then stepped up to the fire and were granted
their Ninjetti Animals by Dulcea. After they received their spirits Titan stepped up to the one on the near right. "Ashley,
compassionate and proud, you are the Llama," Ashley smiled pulling down her face mask and looking at her new yellow uniform.
Titan then stepped over to Andros who was in his new red suit and put a hand on his shoulder. "Andros, your courage is
unmatched, strength of spirit remarkable, you are the Lion," Titan said before he walked on to the next person in pink. "Jen,
protective and devoted, you are the serene woodpecker," After speaking to Jen Titan walked away from them before Ninjor
stepped forward. "Now you will be split up into the teams. First Space Patrol Delta. You will leave twenty-four hours after Fire
Squad. Your guides will be The Bear, The Ape, The Woodpecker, The Frog, and The Crane. Now I know some of you are going
on your warrior's quest. You will be able to fight for those you protect," Ninjor then stepped back to the line of masters and The
Tiger stepped forward. "Now for Fire Squad. You will be joined by a small contingent as well. Starting with The Wolf, The Lion,
The Llama, and The Mighty Falcon. The Llama and Lion will be fighting with you just as The Woodpecker is with the SPD team."
The Tiger then backed up to the group as Dulcea once more stepped forward. "Titan has decreed that Fire Squad will leave first.
You will leave in an hour. Please prepare for the journey. We masters will be back soon to see you off. The masters all left accept
for Titan and Dulcea. Dulcea walked over and hugged Miranda as Titan did the same to Destany. "Baby Andros will take good
care of you, and listen to Tommy. Please I want to see you home safely," Titan told Destany worried as any father would. "I will
daddy." Destany told him. At the same time Dulcea was crying, knowing better than anyone what her daughter was about to face.
"Mommy don't cry. I don't even leave until tomorrow," Miranda told her mother. "I know baby but I'm still scared," Dulcea said
before returning to the confines of her house inside the mountain with Titan hugging and consoling her.
An hour later the masters came out and wished the Fire Squad team the best. Titan hadn't wanted to let Destany go, but he knew
when she left she was in good hands. The journey for one team had begun.
Note: Ah, much fun is starting. Did you like the small reunion. I hope you enjoyed it.
