Chapter 42: Warriors of Fatherhood
At Prince Boltzon's headquarters, Cosmotic is thrown back into a cell as he failed to destroy the red ranger. Arianna is very angry that it failed to complete the task of eliminating the red ranger. Plus Prince Boltzon is deeply furious that not only the red ranger gained her secondary powers, the purple ranger gains a mysterious power boost, and now Elias has some power within him as well. "I will not tolerate this kind of failure from any one of you. The other dark cyber warriors frown as they are watching it as they are doing nothing to stop Prince Boltzon from hurting him. That's what all of you get for failing to destroy a ranger. How that little girl got through to you Cosmotic is beyond me"? Prince Boltzon said to the weaken Cosmotic as he leaves the chamber as the other dark cyber warriors.
Arianna nods as she glares at the other dark cyber warriors. "That's right, all of you better follow the prince's orders. Otherwise, you will end up just like him". Arianna said to them. The warriors nod as they follow her out of the chamber.
Cosmotic frowns as dark and evil energy is swirling around him like it is trying to re take control of him. 'That red ranger girl, she is a leader. I have a strange feeling that she is my partner. When she reappeared in that new form, she had the parts of the Cyberobian warrior'. Cosmotic thought to himself. What he doesn't know that another being is close by.
"It is only a matter of time when the other rangers has fully connected with them. Plus I sense that my chosen one is gaining his power as well. He is the only one that can free them and me". A being said to himself as he looks at a similar medallion as well.
In Baylorville, it has been a couple of days since the first dark cyber warrior battle that resulted with Maggie getting her secondary powers and among other things. Zeke is at the local park as he is pushing the stroller with his young daughter in it. Ever since Zeke, his dad, and Kwan has moved to the town, he has spent more time with his daughter even on days that he is not at Olivia's house. Plus Sofia is having fun being the aunt and spending time with niece as well. However, she is with the other girls right now.
However Elias is with Zeke as he is in shock by the fact that the blue cladded teen is a father. "Wow, I can not imagine what it was like for you. I mean you lost your wife not long after your daughter is born. I am curious about how you will tell little Sofia about her mom. She is just the precious thing". Elias said to Zeke as he is getting to know the older brother to the gold ranger.
Zeke sighs as he glances at Elias as he looks at his daughter. "Yeah, someday I will have to explain it to her that she was sick with cancer. I loved her mom, and yet I don't take my anger about losing her on little Sofia". Zeke said to Elias as he is admiring his daughter.
Elias nods as he thinks about it. "I never thought you would be a father already though. I mean most guys won't think about the parenthood thing until like after college". Elias said to Zeke.
Zeke nods as he looks at Sofia. He is thinking about the mentor. "Yeah most teen fathers would rather run to the hills and get out of being a parent. At the same time, some guys doesn't even know that they knocked someone up until many years later like Daniel. I mean he was robbed to help Azalea to raise Maggie, Velvet, and Theo. Yet, he had no idea that Casey is his daughter from a previous relationship in high school. On top of that, he was robbed of raising her because of that crazy woman". Zeke said to Elias as he thinks back on it.
Elias looks at Zeke as he is aware about the crazy woman named Tina McCoy. "That's the same woman that raised Casey and Cliff before they were taken out of her care and tattooed Casey right". Elias said to Zeke as these thoughts shivers his mind.
Zeke nods as he looks at Elias as he can't stop thinking about it. "That's right, you will have to talk to Casey about them". Zeke said to Elias.
The two of them continue with their walk with baby Sofia. A woman spot them as she has the biggest disapproving frown as she looks at them. "Honestly what's with babies making babies. You two ought to be a shame of yourselves for ruining your own futures with that baby. Plus your relationship is also a disgusting thing". The woman said to Zeke and Elias.
Zeke frowns as the woman is laying it thick on the both of them. "That baby is my daughter. Plus Elias is my friend no romantic involvement going on between us". Zeke said to the woman as he is defending Sofia and baby Sofia from the woman.
The woman frowns as she glares at Zeke even more. "I don't care if she is a mother. You should just give it up for adoption to me. I will be the better parent than you could ever be". The woman said to them as she has her eyes on snatching baby Sofia from the stroller.
Elias frowns as she is defending Zeke and his daughter. "Get away from my friend's daughter. What is your problem anyways"? Elias asks the woman as she is defending Zeke. He blocks the woman's way from getting to little baby.
The woman frowns as she glares at Elias. "You teenage boys becoming parents are disgusting and all the same leaving the child with the mother to raise to go back being a teenager". The woman said to Zeke as she really wants to get underneath his skin.
Elias glares at the woman as she is greatly misjudging Zeke. "You don't know Zeke well enough to make that assumption about him lady. He is more responsible than you truly ever know so back off now". Elias said to the woman like he is ready to fight her. The woman frowns in disgust as she walks away from them in a huff.
Zeke sighs as he looks down on himself. He glances at Elias as he defended him and his daughter from the woman. "Thanks for defending me Elias, I need to be alone for a while you understand". Zeke said to Elias.
Elias sighs as he watches Zeke pushing the stroller along away from her. 'Oh Zeke, I wish others will see you as the great teen dad that you really are'. Elias thought to herself as she heads deeper into the park. Unbeknownst to him, three dark cyber warriors are spying on them.
"That one that has the medallion. Should we attack him now"? The first dark cyber warrior asks them. It is getting a bit too excited about launching the attack right then and there.
"No, besides, the timing of it is not right. That blue ranger is mine". The second dark cyber warrior said to them as it is following Zeke. The third cyber warrior also follows the warrior to hope to find a target as well.
"Yeah plus the only other ranger I can detect is the silver ranger. Those other rangers must be out and about in this human town". The third dark cyber warrior said to the first one. The first one took off as the other two follow the blue cladded teen.
Zeke sighs as he makes it to a bench as tears are falling down his face. 'Why is it people like her always get me so down like that'? Zeke thought to himself as he looks at his sleeping baby girl. The young widow teen is wondering if he could fall in love again or not.
Daniel spots the Zeke as he clearly sees the solemn expression on the blue cladded teens face. "Mind if I join you Zeke"? Daniel asks Zeke as he has a compassionate smile on his face.
Zeke looks at Daniel as he didn't know that the mentor/ranger is going to be at the park today. "Sure, did you ever had doubts about being a dad and fatherhood"? Zeke asks Daniel as it is the very thing that he is working on.
Daniel looks at Zeke as he nods to him. "Oh yes, being a dad and fatherhood can bring its own struggles and doubts Zeke. However for me, when I found out that Maggie is my daughter that I had with Azalea, I fought hard to adopt her. The odds were against me especially since they wanted to place her in another married couple. I had to prove that I was indeed her biological father with a paternity test. As that proof came out, I told them that I saw myself in her in court". Daniel said to Zeke as he thinks back to that court date.
Zeke looks at Daniel as he can understand where he is coming from. "Do you regret not being in Maggie's first six years of her life and in Casey's life as well"? Zeke asks Daniel as it is a question that he wanted to know.
Daniel looks at Zeke as he nods to him. "I do regret it big time Zeke. The thing is Tina is the one that not only separated me from ever knowing about Casey. She is also the one that separated me from knowing the truth about Azalea and her triplets as well". Daniel said to Zeke as he thinks back to the jail visit.
FLASHBACK
Daniel arrives at the prison as he is a man on a mission to find out the truth. Right across from him is Tina as she has a prison jumpsuit on. She is grinning ear to ear as she finally gets Daniel to visit her. "Daniel, I have been waiting 16 years for you to see me and put an end of your pretend marriage to Azalea to be with me". Tina said to Daniel as she is batting her eyes at him.
Daniel frowns as he is not falling for it. "If you think that I will fall for that Tina, you are sadly mistaken. You purposely hide the fact that Casey, Maggie, Velvet, and Theo are my children from me. You purposely robbed me from being a father. Do you have any idea of the consequences of what have done"? Daniel asks Tina as he is trying to be calm about it.
Tina is laughing at Daniel like she is amused about it. "You must be kidding me. I am the only one who is supposed to have children with you. Not my sister Natalie and definitely not that freaky Lawerence girl that you foolishly married". Tina said to Daniel as she glares at him with malice in her eyes.
Daniel frowns as he is getting the feeling that Tina is someone who is capable of malice evil. "Azalea will always be my wife Tina. I know that I will never get to have the chance to reunite Casey with Natalie, but I will find a way to reunite Maggie with Azalea. The fatherhood in me will protect them from your heinous claws. The protection also applies to Azalea, Velvet, and Theo as well. That is a promise". Daniel said to Tina as he leaves the visitors area with the inmate glaring at him as she watched him leaving.
End Flashback
Zeke looks at Daniel as he knows that Casey suffered a great deal by Tina growing up. "I never realized that fatherhood can be like that as well". Zeke said to Daniel as he is feeling better about it.
"The important thing is that you continue to be a great father to your daughter Zeke". Daniel said to Zeke as he has a knowing smile on his face. He doesn't know that another dark cyber warrior is watching him.
Zeke looks at Daniel as he can relate to the mentor/silver ranger. "I understand where you are coming from Daniel. I guess people are not use to seeing a teenager like me being a father". Zeke said to Daniel as he thinks about the bad encounter with the rude woman.
Daniel looks at Zeke as he can see it that from him. "Well, people have their own opinions about teenagers becoming parents Zeke. However, it doesn't mean that you are the only ranger who was a teen parent as well". Daniel said to Zeke.
Zeke is deeply surprised as he looks at Daniel. "Really, I always thought that I sam the only one though". Zeke said to Daniel as he never knew about it.
Daniel shakes his head to Zeke. "His name was Davis. He was the silver Underdog Squad Ranger. Like you, he was a single father to a young baby named Kelly. He had to juggled with his work, being a ranger, and being a father as well. Although, there was a short time that Kelly was taken away from him because of the actual truth was that he wasn't her biological father and some other guy was. Kelly's biological mother lied to
Davis about him being the actual father. Even though Davis pleaded with the judge to have Kelly because of his hard work on being a father and the amazing job he did with her, the judge had no other choice but to hand custody of Kelly to the biological father. It did devastated Davis to lose Kelly in that way, but with time Davis gotten her back for good. The biological father couldn't handle being a parent at that time, and he thought that he would gain extra help from Kelly's biological mother. It turned out that he was wrong as well. You see Zeke not every teen is cut out to be a teen parent, and it is not always the teen father that runs out from taking care of the baby". Daniel said to Zeke.
Zeke looks at Daniel as he deeply understands now. "I do deeply understand now". Zeke said to Daniel as he realizes that he is not the only ranger that was a teen parent.
As Daniel sees that Zeke is fully understanding the lesson, the digibots shows up around the park as they are scaring the civilians away. "Looks like they decide to ruin the party". Zeke said to Daniel as he has his serious fighter expression on his face.
Olivia runs up to them as she is getting scared. "Zeke, whats going on and why those things are here"? Olivia asks Zeke as she came by to pick up the baby.
Zeke looks at Olivia as he has a solemn expression on his face. "Olivia, I need you to take little Sofia and get to a safe place. This area is not safe for neither one of you right now. Plus trust me on this, I will be ok". Zeke said to Olivia as he has that fatherly expression on his face.
Olivia looks at Zeke as one of the teachers from school is with him. "I understand", Olivia said to Zeke as she takes the stroller and runs from the dangerous situation.
Daniel and Zeke frowns as they spot the two dark cyber warriors as they are leading the battle. "So it is just two rangers? I thought there were more rangers than this". The first dark cyber warrior said to Daniel.
"Yeah although, you two are the only fathers on the team. Digibots destroy them", The second dark cyber warrior said to them.
As the digibots are coming in at Daniel and Zeke, the other teens arrive and ready to morph to fight. "Here I thought you warriors need the rest of your warrior clan to defeat us". Maggie said to them as they are holding their morphors in their hands.
"Cyber Force Transform", the teens and Daniel yells out loud as they morph into ranger form. They are holding their respective weapons in their hands as they are in ranger pose.
"Attack", the dark cyber warriors yell back as they are annoyed by the fact the rangers are ready to fight.
The digibots are charging in at the rangers as it is firing dark cyber magic at them. The ranger blocks and deflects their beam with their own power. They notice that the two dark cyber warriors jump over them as they grab their swords out to fight Zeke and Daniel.
"Now it is Daniel and Zeke that they want to fight now". Kwan said to them as he is keeping the Digibots away from him and the others.
"Yeah it is exactly what happened with Maggie just the other day". Justin said to them as they are aware that the Dark Cyber Warriors are a lot stronger than the monsters that they have been fighting recently.
Casey frowns as she notices the two rangers fighting them. "Yeah but except they decided to bring two of them instead of one this time". Casey said to them as she uses her cyber magic to keep them back.
Sofia also frowns as she is wondering how long that they can keep it up. "Should we go and assist them though"? Sofia asks them. She notices how the two are by themselves to fight the dark cyber warriors.
"I doubt it Sofia. This is actually what happened with Maggie. If we try to help them, those dark warriors will block our way to them". Jade said to them as she thinks back to when the first one went on Maggie.
Bly frowns as he fires his white beams at the Digibots. "We will have to trust them to pull through". Bly said to them as he is holding them off. He is wondering if and when a dark cyber warrior will come at him.
"Bly is right guys. I believe that Daniel and Zeke are the only two that can get through to them". Zara said to them. She is sensing something about the two warriors fighting them.
The rangers are stunned as they look at Zara. They are baffled by what they just heard. "Why do you say that Zara"? Max asks Zara as she is also getting the same feelings about it. She is kicking and punching at the Digibots.
"I have a hunch about it guys". Zara said to them. She is thinking back to the other battle where Maggie called the dark cyber warrior by his true name.
"What kind of hunch Zara"? Kwan asks Zara as he is just as confused about it. The rangers wants to know the same thing. However, they are about to find out.
Back with Daniel and Zeke, they are trying to hold off the two dark cyber warriors. "What's wrong rangers? Are you two that weak. We have the both of you seperate from the other rangers. Yet one of them is your child". The first dark cyber warrior said to Daniel as he fires cyber beams at him.
Zeke is not doing that much better as he is trying to deflect the beams from the second dark cyber warrior. "I don't know what it more baffling. A teenager pretending to be a parent or a teenager being truly a parent to a human baby". The second dark cyber warrior said to Zeke. The warrior fires another cyber beam at him.
Elias is still close by to the rangers as he sees that both Daniel and Zeke in trouble. He did see Daniel giving Zeke some advice, and he even defended the blue cladded ranger from the mean woman. 'They can't hold them off forever'. Elias thought to himself as he feels a power within him as a morphor is glowing again. He charges in towards them as he glares at the dark cyber warriors. "They are the warriors of fatherhood". Elias yells out loud to Daniel and Zeke.
Daniel and Zeke are stunned as the other rangers also hears it as well. "Elias", Daniel said to Elias as he realizes that the young teen is right. Zeke also thinks about it as well. They look at each other as they think back about their conversation and advice.
Zeke is getting fired up as he is ready to fight back. "So what that I am a teenage parent. I can defeat the odds of having a life with my daughter. The decisions I make will effect her as well. I know what it takes to be a parent unlike most guys my age. Fat hood is a lifetime job and no one will take that away from me". Zeke yells at them as he is gaining a power boost.
Daniel nods as he glares at the dark cyber warriors. "I don't have just one child. I have four of them, and two of them are on this team. It is true that I wasn't in their lives in the beginning, but now I am in permanent place in their lives. I will always be their father, and there is nothing that can ever separate me from them again". Daniel yells at them as he is also gaining a power boost.
The dark cyber warriors are stunned as the power boost are effecting them as it starts to reveal their actual colors. the first one has a green color while the second one has a white color. "What how can this be"? The dark warriors yells at them.
"Daniel and Zeke, you two have gotten through to Jonalis and Leonder the true meaning of being a warrior of fatherhood. The both of you have earned your secondary powers". A mysterious voice said to them as Daniel's morphor gained some green and Zeke has gained some red color in his morphor.
Daniel and Zeke look at each other as they are ready. "Jonalis, Leonder, we have the true meaning being warriors of fatherhood and we will prove it to the both of you". Daniel and Zeke said together in unison as they are glowing in a silver and green and blue and white together. The rangers are stunned as this is exactly what happened with Maggie.
The dark cyber warriors are stunned as they some how know their actual names. "What"? The warriors yells at them as they did not expect that at all.
"Cyber Secondary Transform", Daniel and Zeke yells out loud as they are glowing in a bright silver and blue color.
Secondary Morphing Sequence
Zeke is in a cyber like space as he is surrounded by his own Cyberobian power. Various cyber data and magic is swirling around him. Plus, he is looking at a true Cyberobian Warrior like he is passing his own armor to him as well. He has his blue ranger suit from before. He is gaining blue and white armor on his chest and shoulders. His helmet also gains a white like coloring to it. He has a Cyberobian Warrior Sword in his hands. The image of a member of the Cyberobian Warriors vanishes as he swirls around him like he is within her chest armor. Zeke is in his ranger pose. "Blue Cyber Warrior Ranger". Zeke yells out loud as he is ready to fight.
Daniel is in a cyber like space as he is surrounded by his own Cyberobian power. Various cyber data and magic is swirling around him. Plus, he is looking at a true Cyberobian Warrior like he is passing his own armor to him as well. He has his silver ranger suit from before. He is gaining blue and green armor on his chest and shoulders. His helmet also gains a green like coloring to it. He has a Cyberobian Warrior Sword in his hands. The image of a member of the Cyberobian Warriors vanishes as he swirls around him like he is within her chest armor. Daniel is in his ranger pose. "Silver Cyber Warrior Ranger". Daniel yells out loud as he is ready to fight.
End Morphing Sequence
The two dark cyber warriors are stunned as both rangers has some how know their real names. The rangers are stunned as both Zeke and Daniel has gained a different color in their secondary forms as well just like Maggie did. "Who dare you to call us by those names". The dark cyber warrior yells at them as it has the white color showing.
"Yeah, we shall destroy you both where you stand". The second dark cyber warrior said to them. They fire a powerful blast at them.
As the beams are heading towards Daniel and Zeke, their swords cuts the beams in half as it explodes behind them. "Silver Cyber Power", Daniel yells out loud. "Blue Cyber Power", Zeke yells out loud. The power beams swirls around together. It is aimed at the two dark cyber warriors. It hit hits them directly, and they are sent flying to the ground.
The warriors frown as something in them cracks. "We will be back Power Rangers". The dark cyber warriors said to them as they take off.
The rangers rush over to Daniel and Zeke as they are wondering how they found out the cyber warriors real name. Elias also steps forward as he looks at them. "Ok, how we did know what their actual names are? I don't remember them telling us their names". Zeke asks them as he is deeply confused by it.
Daniel frowns as he is baffled by it as well. "I am not sure Zeke. However some how we got it right". Daniel said to them. He is curious about the mysterious voice.
Maggie looks at them as she thinks about it. "Now that I think about it. I some how learned the name of the dark cyber warrior that I fought". Maggie said to them as she thinks about it.
Daniel looks at Maggie as he thinks about it. "We need to discuss this back at the headquarters". Daniel said to them. Everyone nods as they teleport back to the headquarters.
Back at headquarters, Silver Tech looks at the teens as they go over it. "Are you saying that somehow you Zeke, and Maggie has found out the real names of three dark cyber warriors that you have faced so far". Silver Tech said to them as he is surprised by it.
"Yeah, we gained the secondary form, and for some reason we gained a different color". Maggie said to Silver Tech. She is thinking about it.
"Zara, did you say that you had a hunch about something about this"? Sofia asks Zara as she bring it up to her. The other teens nod in agreement as they look at her.
Zara nods as she looks at them as it is time to tell them. "Maybe, it is possible that you, Daniel, and Zeke has something in common with a particular warrior, and it is the very thing in common that gets into them. Plus I think that the secondary color that you gained was once belonged to that very warrior". Zara said to them.
The teens look at each other as it is a bit skeptical for them. "I don't know about that Zara. We don't have all the facts about them". Kwan said to Zara as the others don't know what to think.
Daniel looks at them as it is getting late. "All of you should head home. The last thing I want is for your parents to get worried about you". Daniel said to them. The teens nod as they leave the headquarters. He is thinking about what Zara said as he looks at Silver Tech on the screen. "Do you think that Zara is on to something about it"? Daniel asks Silver Tech.
Silver Tech looks at Daniel as he is deep in thought. "It is likely that Zara is on the right track Daniel. However, I think there is a lot more that has to do with it". Silver Tech said to Daniel.
Daniel looks at Silver Tech as he is a bit perplexed about it. "What do you mean"? Daniel asks Silver Tech as he is thinking about it.
"I don't have the necessary evidence to support it yet. However, if I ask right about this, I believe that Prince Boltzon has turned the strongest cyber warriors evil and took away their original colors and mixed them up. It is important that the rest of the rangers to unlock their secondary powers". Silver Tech said to Daniel.
Daniel looks at Silver Tech as it is an interesting theory. "We just to gather more proof about it". Daniel said to Silver Tech. He is thinking about that very thing. Little does he know that Zara is right.
