DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS, PERIOD

Chapter 55: Answering the Call of Duty Part 1

In Milky Way, Frankie is in her room as she is looking through battle footage that Isabelle sent to her from a battle that her team had just yesterday. She noted that Caleb was glowing in a strange way, and she wanted to know if it was very unusual for it to happen. She takes a closer look as she sees how Caleb was glowing in a black and gold color. 'That is definitely unusual. Plus it is very similar to what happened with me'. Frankie thought to herself as she thinks back to a battle that happened that very day.

Flashback

Morgana and the teens are facing a very unusual beast as it has even more unusual item in its chest. The very item is giving the monster even more power than normal. It didn't bother the monster, and yet at the same time it didn't control it either. As it grabs Nora with its powerful whiskers, the rangers are stunned that it grabbed her. "Nora just hang on". Charles said to Nora.

Nora is in its grip as the effects are getting to her. She screams as she is trying to move or even to free herself. Frankie is stunned as she wants to do something to stop the monster and free Nora. "You are one of the ultimate special chosen ones Frankie. You know what you can do". A mysterious male voice said to Frankie.

Frankie frowns as she is getting angry as she glares at the monster. "Release Nora now you ugly freak". Frankie yells at the monster as she is getting really fired up. She is glowing in a purple and yellow color as she gains a mysterious power boost.

The rangers on the team are stunned as they have no idea what's going on. "Woah what's with Frankie all the sudden"? Cody asks them as he is deeply in shock.

"No clue but why does she has Kathy's color all the sudden"? Drew asks them as he is just as perplexed about it. Kathy shrugs as she doesn't know either.

Frankie charges in as she fights the monster like someone is guiding her where to hit it. "I don't know, but she is really going at it on that weird thing". Kathy said to them.

As the rangers watch Frankie freeing Nora, the monster is not fully destroyed as it glares at the ranger. "I will be back Power Rangers". The monster said to them as it mysteriously take off like how it came in the first place.

The mysterious glow from Frankie is gone as she returns to normal. She demorphs as she passed out as well. "Frankie", the rangers said as Morgana catches her in time. They are deeply confused about the entire thing.

"What just happened and why did she passed out like that"? Nora asks them as she is in shock that Frankie passed out like that.

Morgana shrugs as she is just as perplexed about it. "I don't know Nora. We need to get back to the hideout. Maybe Macha or Ahsha can figure it out". Morgana said to them as they teleport back there.

End Flashback

Frankie looks at the footage again as Caleb has a similar glow to hers except it has a gold color along with his black ranger color. "How particular, both Caleb and I had a similar experience. Plus Isabelle also said in the email that Caleb also passed out after the battle is over. Those secondary colors look familiar like I have seen them before but where exactly". Frankie thought to herself as she is trying to think on it. 'I am curious if there are others besides Caleb and me that has experience like this'. Frankie thought to herself as she drifts off to sleep.

Dream Sequence

Frankie is in a weird space like she is in a different world from her own. She looks around as she notices various spirits looking at her and a few others as well. "What is this place"? Frankie asks them as she does recognize them from the other dimension including from her cousin's team.

"I have no idea, and it is giving me the creeps". Tobey said to them as he is a bit nervous about being in the strange place. He is more nervous about the spirits starting at him.

Jade shrugs as she looks at Tobey as she likes the darkness of the weird space. "It does have its darkness and pitch black around here Tobey. There is nothing to be afraid of". Jade said to Tobey as she crosses her arms.

Caleb nods as he notices the strange stars around in the strange place. "Yeah in some ways, this place looks like outer space or something". Caleb said to them as he looks around in the area.

"It is finally I meet all of you at long last Power Rangers". A male spirit said to the group of teens as he appears to them. Tobey looks kind of freaked out by the spirit.

"That voice, you are the one that communicated with me". Tobey said to the spirit. The others look at Tobey as they realize that they also gotten the same message from a mysterious male voice.

"Who are you anyways"? Jade asks the male spirit as she has a full mind to kick his butt and asks questions later sort of speak.

"My name is Christopher Askew young Power Rangers. I have watched you four from the first day each one of you became rangers". The spirit of Christopher Askew said to them.

The teens are stunned as they meet a ghostly spirit. "Wait, are you a former veteran ranger"? Caleb asks Christopher as he doesn't know his full story.

"No, I was not a Power Ranger like all of you are. However, I am more like a special ally who didn't realize the full destiny until I died for the final time and becoming an Earth bounded spirit". Christopher said to them.

The teens look at each other as they look at Christopher. "Umm, can you fully explain that one to us"? Frankie asks Christopher as she is a bit confused like the others are.

Christopher looks at Frankie as he sighs to her. "It is a long story Francesca. However now the time is of the essence rangers. The truth is I have chosen six of you to become special protectors to a special ranger that some of you already met and known". Christopher said to them as he reveals a key of information.

"Wait a minute, if there are supposed to be six of us, why are the other two not here right now"? Jade asks Christopher as she is jumping ahead of things.

"I am getting to that Jade. You see the final two are a boy and a girl who doesn't know that they will also become rangers in the future. They live in your dimension Frankie and Caleb. You must go find them and protect them as well from an evil being who is also misguided and evilly controlled as well. Christopher said to them as he reveals their faces to the group.

Tobey is a bit confused about it as he looks at Christopher. "I don't understand why you chosen us though. Is this sort of thing that the red rangers should handle like Maggie, Velvet, Isabelle, and Morgana"? Tobey asks Christopher as it is a good question.

Christopher nods as he looks at Tobey. "That maybe true Tobias, however I saw something in each one of you just like these two that needs to be protected". Christopher said to them.

"Wait a minute, you saw something in us? That's how you selected us over a red ranger"? Caleb asks Christopher as he is trying to get it now.

"That's correct Caleb, I saw that each one of you has the opportunity to go the bad pathway in life due to one reason or another. Plus, having a special bond with the angel doesn't hurt as well. Francesca, your pathway could become a hateful criminal with the gadgets that you have made and the painful scars of your past to get revenge on the more beautiful people. Tobias, your pathway could be getting back at your own parents for mistreating you because of your natural gifts for the arts and music. Caleb, your pathway is the misguidance that you have gotten over the years. Jade, it is your mean spirited and pranks can also lead you on a bad pathway as well". Christopher said to the teens as he fully explains things to them.

The teens nod as it make sense to them. "I do understand where you are coming from with things. Does this mean that they have that same opportunity to go on the same bad pathway as well"? Frankie asks Christopher.

"Yes they do, for Hayden, his pathway is causing pain towards others and doing things that he shouldn't do. For Jasiri, her pathway is having a double life that is not known to others". Christopher said to them as he explains it to them.

"So who is it that is after them exactly and why"? Tobey asks Christopher as it is the main question that they need to know.

"The one who is after them is named Grangitix. You must protect Hayden and Jasiri from him. If you don't, the special angel will be in grave danger and both worlds will be doomed". The ghost of Christopher said to them as he vanished away as the light pushes them out.

End Dream

Frankie wakes up as she has a cold sweat on her forehead. She has heard of the name Grangitix before. 'Grangitix, that's the creep that planned on capturing me when Azalea first appeared. Could this be the reason why though? Or is there more to it than meets the eye'? Frankie thought to herself as she tries to drift back to sleep.

At the evil master's headquarters, one of King Glendios officers and Melodalix walk in the room as they see a being. "I am glad that you two have shown up to my little meeting as it were". Grangitix said to them.

"You, you assisted that traitor a while back. You even called that traitor for being weak, and you were right about it". The officer said to Grangitix. He appears to have a poker face expression on his face.

Grangitix nods as he looks at the officer. "That's exactly right, it seems that there are two more special individuals who must be stopped from achieving a special goal of mine. It is one that not even Kozeleon is aware of". Grangitix said to them.

Melodalix has a skeptical expression on her face. "Kozeleon you say, why is he not fully aware about this anyways"? Melodalix asks Grangitix as she is curious about it. She is not impressed that Kozeleon is not here to tell them about it.

"Kozeleon doesn't know that the Evil Emblems are fully needed to turn a very special and powerful ranger evil. In order to do this the six chosen ones needs to be captured and eliminated to reverse the effects of the Evil Emblems. I thought that the only chosen one is that Purple Mystic Warriors ranger, but apparently there are more of them now to capture and deal with myself". Grangitix said to Melodalix.

Melodalix is deeply intrigued by what Grangitix has told her. "That particular ranger you say. Well, things might turn out very interesting after all". Melodalix said to Grangitix as she seems to be in on the plan.

Grangitix nods as he looks at them as two really tough monsters appear like he brought with him. "Good, now these two monsters are selected to draw out the final chosen ones. My intel says that the girl will be in Walkerton while the boy is in Aibo. Both chosen ones do live in Aibo, but for some reason the girl is in Walkerton right now". Grangitix said to them as he shows them the intel including the identities of the boy and girl as well.

Melodalix smirks as she likes the level of intel that Grangitix has. "Excellent, I will make sure that the girl is eliminated". Melodalix said to them as the monster went towards her.

"Consider the boy history", the officer said to Grangitix as he summons the other monster to go towards him. The both of them are on board with Grangitix and his scheme as well.

As the weekend comes around again, Caleb is thinking about the recent events that took place. 'Not only Frankie and I gotten the same dream, Tobey and Jade from the other dimension gotten it as well. Plus two more people are chosen for this who will become rangers in the future'. Caleb thought you himself as he is walking around town.

It is not long that the others found Caleb as they are confused about what happened to him the other day in the battle. "Caleb there you are". Isabelle said to Caleb as they look like that they are trying to find him.

Caleb turns as he looks at his teammates. "Oh hey guys", Caleb said to them as he is still getting use to having them as friends. He is wondering why they are looking for him on a Saturday.

"I know you couldn't explain how you got the special glow Caleb. We do want to help you fully understand it though". Isabelle said to Caleb as the others agrees with the red cladded teen.

Caleb looks at them as he lightly smiles to them. "Thanks guys, the odd and strange thing is that I am not the only one who gotten chosen for this". Caleb said to them as he starts to open up about it.

The teens are stunned as they look at Caleb. "Your welcome Caleb", Isabelle said to Caleb as they are in on what he just said about it.

"What do you mean by you are not the only one chosen for this"? Ellie asks Caleb as the others wants to know the same thing. The others look at each other as they are just as surprised about it.

"Frankie, Jade, and Tobey also got chosen as well. Plus there are two more that also gotten chosen as well". Caleb said to them. The teens are deeply stunned and shocked as well.

"Frankie as in Isabelle's cousin and Jade and Tobey from the other dimension also gotten chosen as well. Who picked them and why though"? Rodney asks Caleb as he is trying to figure it out logically.

Caleb sighs as he looks at them as now is not the right time to talk about it especially outside of the headquarters. "We should talk about it at the headquarters guys. I don't feel comfortable to talk about it out on the open like this". Caleb said to them as he looks down on himself. The teens look at each other as they shrug to him.

Arlen looks at them as he notices various dogs and other people in town. "Well, if you want to change the subject Caleb, any ideas why all of these dogs are in town? Is there some sort of dog show in town"? Arlen asks them. Caleb sighs in relief as the subject is changed.

"I doubt it is a breed specific dog show because of a lot of them are mixed breeds all over town". Chris said to them as they notice the mixed breeds of dogs.

"There is definitely a lot of dogs here. Plus some of them has scars all over them". Amy said to them. The teens notice that some of them has various scars on the dogs bodies like they were abused. Caleb sees a teenage girl in particular with a dog with her. 'That's the girl from the dream'. Caleb thought to himself.

"Dad said that there is a special award show going on tonight. It is honor various animal rescues and animal shelters for their hard work and dedication to the animals". Anna said to them.

Layla nods as she is not exactly thrilled about it. "Yeah he is dragging Anna and me to go with him for some reason though". Layla said to them as she is not looking forward to go to the event.

Caleb looks at Layla as he is curious about something else. "Do you think your dad can get me a ticket for the event"? Caleb asks Layla as it catches them off guard. The teens look at each other as they are perplexed by the question.

"Actually dad gotten a special table, and he hasn't found enough people to fill it. The evil ex step mom hated that dad supported various things in town. There is probably enough seats for all of us". Anna said to them. Layla turns to Anna as she sighs to her.

"Anna, why did you tell them that anyways? It is going to be boring to them". Layla said to Anna as she spent all week just to get out of going.

"An award show to honor animal rescuers and shelters will probably be exciting Layla. Plus in some ways, animal rescuers and animal shelter workers are like the first responders to the various animals in need. It is not very often that they get honored like other first responders". Issac said to Layla. The teens nod in agreement as it is something to look forward to.

Layla sighs as she grabs her phone out. "Fine, I will call my dad if there is enough seats at the table". Layla said to them. She is really annoyed that the others are interested about it.

Close by to the teens, a young 12 almost 13 year ago girl notices the teens talking about going to the event tonight. Her short fiery red hair with a gold cladded outfit has her curious about them. She has a dog with her as they seem excited about attending the event. "I guess they will be attending the banquet tonight buddy". The girl said to the dog as they walk away from the area as she has no idea that one of the teens and an enemy spots her.

'So that's the girl that Grangitix wants me to eliminate. She looks very easy to destroy'. Melodalix thought to herself as she vanished from the area.

In Aibo, the Universe teens are in town for a community service project. The school teams up with the academy there to do various protects in the town. "This is really cool to give back to the community like this". Kathy said to them as they are the park picking up trash.

"I know what you mean Kathy. Plus it gives us time away from our own things as well". Drew said to them. The teens collectively agrees with the green cladded teen as they continue to work.

Nora turns to Frankie as she notices that something is on the purple cladded teen's mind. 'The only time I have seen Frankie really quiet like this is when she is completely out of it sleep wise and running on no energy at all. However neither one would fit to the reason why though'. Nora thought to herself as she went to the purple cladded teen. "Frankie is something wrong? You are being quiet". Nora asks Frankie as the others take notice.

Frankie looks at Nora as she notices that the blue cladded teen is noticing things about her. The others turn to Frankie as they are getting concerned about her again. "Frankie when ever you are quiet, it is usually when you are disturb or distracted by something bad that is coming". Charles said to Frankie as everyone on the team knows this.

Frankie sighs as she knows this all too well. "Well, I have gotten a strange dream again. However this time I saw other rangers having the same weird dream. On top of it, I looked at previous battle footage that has the same similarities with me the other day when I glowed in two different ranger colors". Frankie said to the teens.

The teens are stunned as they look at Frankie. "Wait a minute, you are not the only one that glowed in two different colors in a battle". Cody said to Frankie as they are just as stunned by the revelation.

Frankie looks at them as she nods to them. "Yeah Caleb, Jade, and Tobey also got the same thing as well. They also appeared in the same dream. Although", Frankie said to them as someone else is on her mind.

"Although what", Morgana said to Frankie as it is usually a bad sign with the purple cladded teen. The others are confused on what is going on exactly.

Frankie looks at them as she spots the teenage boy that the spirit told her about. 'That's him, that must be Hayden. One of the two people that the spirit told me and others about'. Frankie thought to herself as she went over to him.

The teens look at each other as they are even more confused than before. "Why is Frankie going up to that boy"? Charles asks them as they are just as perplexed about it. They spot Frankie talking to the light brown headed boy.

"How did you even know my name and why are you telling me that I am in danger? You must be off your meds lady". The boy said to Frankie as he punches her in the face twice and shoved her to the ground.

The teens is stunned as they see Frankie landing on the ground as she is now sporting a black eye and a bloody nose. "What was that all about"? Cody asks Frankie. Both Charles and Morgana has a full mind to get the guy who hurt Frankie.

"I was trying to warn him about the great danger that he is in, and he is not the only one who is in great danger as well". Frankie said to them. The teens look at each other as Charles and Morgana stops in their tracks.

"Huh what do you mean by that"? Kathy asks Frankie as the others gives her a hand up. They are getting the feeling that it is getting deeply serious.

Frankie sighs as she looks at them as she grabs her morphor out. "We need to discuss this at the hideout, and we need to contact Isabelle and her team as well". Frankie said to them. The teens look at each other as they are getting the feeling that it is a big thing to call upon another team as well.

They teleported away as the guy who knocked Frankie to the ground sees it. 'How did those guys teleport like that anyways? Plus that girl reminds me of another girl in particular who hates me'. The guy thought to himself as he walks away. What he doesn't know that the officer sees him.

'That's the boy Grangitix wants to eliminate. He is too rough around the edges to be specially chosen for something so great. Orders and plans must go on then'. The officer thought to himself as he is spying on the boy in Aibo.

At the hideout, the teens see that Isabelle's team has arrive as Caleb is next to Frankie. Anna and Layla are stunned as they get to meet more rangers for the first time. Anna is bonding with Nora while Layla is getting to know Morgana better. Plus Daranten is also there with them. "So what's going on exactly"? Isabelle asks Frankie and Caleb as it is the big question of the day.

Caleb nods to Frankie to go to explain it first. "You see Caleb and I gotten the same dream last night. It was more than a dream like someone was trying to communicate with us along with Jade and Tobey from the other dimension". Frankie said to them as she gets started to explain it to them.

"Yeah, a spirit named Christopher Askew appeared to us and told us that two individuals who will become rangers in the future are in great danger because he also chosen them and us to becoming special protectors". Caleb said to them as he tries to explain it.

The teens look at each other as they are curious about it even more. "Special protectors", Isabelle said to Frankie and Caleb as she is trying to make sense of things.

"Yeah the other day, I started to glow in a bright purple and yellow with a strange power boost. The same thing happened with Caleb with a black and gold color. When we were in that dream, I have a strong hunch that both Tobey and Jade also had that same experience in a battle as well". Frankie said to them.

The teens look at them as they do remember the strange glow when both Caleb and Frankie gotten really mad. "I remember that now. You were really fired up in a huge way. A blast of power burst that monster and saved me". Nora said to Frankie.

"That maybe true but what does it have to do with this Christopher Askew guy". Charles said to them. He is a bit skeptical as the room gotten really chilly all the sudden as the spirit shows up at the headquarters.

"I am more than a guy young ranger". The ghostly spirit of Christopher Askew said to them as he gives them a look. The teens are stunned as they meet the ghostly spirit for the first time.

Issac looks at the ghost as he remembers things during his time in the other dimension. "You were the one who became so far lost but saved at an old age in the other dimension. You were even once split from the alien being form as well". Issac said to Christopher as he has heard about him.

Christopher nods as he looks at Issac as he knows that the gold ranger learned about his past. "That's correct ranger, I was deeply evil for a long time before my own biological daughter freed and saved me before I passed on for good that time". Christopher said to them.

The teens look at Christopher as they are really confused as they look at the ghost. "I am sorry what". Arlen said to Christopher as they all need a better explanation about it.

Christopher sighs as he never liked to give other spirits the full story even his training days with Abby. "I was deeply evil for the longest time and did things that I have done. These things would give anyone including rangers and ranger veterans really bad nightmares for about a month. After I was defeated by the Lore Keepers rangers and dead, I was brought back to life by another evil being in the future. My alien side wanted it, but I didn't and I was forced to come back to the world of living. Meanless to say, I started to fight the evil alien side for so long that my alien side wanted to get rid of me for good. I went back to the past where the Lore Keeper Rangers and the Music Force Next Generation teams were active where the body got split where I was separated from the evil alien side for good. My biological daughter who was the red ranger saved me by placing the necklace around me and surged the remaining evil out of me. She saved me before the alien version could. In doing so, I became a spirit but was Earth bounded until the remaining evil spirits of the alien being was captured in an urn and sent away to the underworld. Recently, I sensed that another evil being recreated the very alien being that I have spent 155 plus years trying to capture the very spirits of away". Christopher said to them as he is deeply annoyed by the fact that the monster is back.

The teens look at Christopher as the Mystic Warriors know who it is. "You don't mean Neo Xolicernic isn't it". Ellie said to Christopher as this is the first time that the Universe Rangers has ever heard of this guy.

"Unfortunately yes, that's the being who I hate with a royal ranger passion. I should have warned all of you and the great danger of being branded with his mark. Plus I got a feeling that the brand is even harder to reverse this time as well". Christopher said to them.

"Branded with his mark meaning"? Drew asks them as the Universe teens look at Isabelle and Issac. The reveal the marks that they gotten in battle.

"It is the ultimate signature of my work. The work that I am not proud of. It is a part of my origins of becoming evil alien being". Christopher said to them as he does have his regrets.

The teens are stunned as they learn the revelation about Christopher's past. "You mean you came up with the branding mark that has caused so much misery". Cody said to Christopher.

"That's correct rangers, you see long ago before I became Xolicernic. I had a lot of desires and dreams to become the red ranger on a ranger team. As I gotten from place to place with the Power Rangers, I always gotten deeply and very disappointment and angry that I wasn't the red ranger. I didn't truly understand why I wasn't chosen to become a ranger let alone a red ranger. Over the years, I had a deep amount of resentment and anger towards those who became the red ranger more than once because I believed that it should go towards someone who hasn't been a red ranger before or who is truly deserving in my eyes. Plus it even gotten me even angrier when it was given to the son or daughter of a previous red ranger. It is especially true those who are deeply undeserving in my eyes and females as well". Christopher said to the teens as he is fully explaining it to them.

Frankie looks at the ghostly spirit as she sensed that he did carry inner darkness and evil within him at one point in his life. Plus it also hits home to Nora as well. "No wonder you were carrying inner darkness and evil within you". Nora said to Christopher.

"Yes, I was carrying my deeply rooted inner darkness and evil with me. When I had my son Levi, his mother left him to

me because she wanted to hide the fact that she cheated on her fiancé and gotten pregnant with my son. So, I raised him as a single dad. By the time that the Music Force rangers were active, my hopes and dreams was for Levi to be the red ranger on the team. However, those dreams and hopes were dashed away when I learned that it was the son of a previous red ranger. The nail into the proverbial coffin was when I learned that the father was the very fiancé that Levi's mother cheated on him with me". Christopher said to them.

The teens are putting two and two together. "So this means that the red ranger and Levi are actually half brothers". Kathy said to Christopher as the Mystic Warriors teens are deeply stunned by it.

"That's correct rangers, Sharon their mother came back into my life. We briefly picked up the love story. Levi didn't really trust her since she was never in his life. Back then, I didn't really care about his opinions on the matter. I was too focused on getting at the red ranger at that time. Sharon and I kidnapped him and held him captive in the secret basement. She had her own business with making him suffer, and I had my own business as well. I was the one that placed the branding gadgets on him". Christopher said to them.

Everyone is stunned as they look at Frankie as she does have the same knack for creating various gadgets and inventions as well. "Is that what you meant by my pathway is having so many gadgets". Frankie said to Christopher.

"A part of it yes, the truth is it is what I am scared and nervous for you. It is the last thing I would want for you to get revenge on the rest of the world for the pain and suffering that you went through and using the gadgets and inventions to do those things". Christopher said to Frankie as the teens realize that he sees a lot of himself in her in a different perspective.

The teens look at each other as they realize that in a lot of ways that the spirit is right. "I never thought about it like that before". Frankie said to Christopher as she truly thinks about it.

The teens look at each other as they hear the alarms going off. Macha and Daranten went to the monitors to see where the trouble is coming from. "Rangers, Vanishers has been sighted in Aibo and Zincods are in Walkerton". Daranten said to them.

"Those guys must be looking for them too". Isabelle said to them as they have separate battles to get to. The teens went into their separate teams as they grab their morphors out.

"Ready Set Zeroth Change/Dragon Descent", Morgana and her team yells out loud as they morph into ranger form.

"Mystic Warriors Power Rangers", Isabelle and her team yellows loud as they morph into ranger form. Both teams depart from the headquarters to head towards the two different battles as things are getting very intense and complex for both of teams.

End Chapter

The teens meets the spirit of Christopher Askew, and they also meet the two remaining chosen ones. Will they be able to keep them safe?
