Chapter 57: Wronged on Who You Are Part 1
At the evil headquarters, the betraying rangers are watching the previous battle footage as they are furious by the events unfolding in both cities. "How is it that they planned this without us though. It is one thing that they went after two pre-teens, but it is another thing for those two to morph into actual rangers. This is unacceptable through all means necessary". Victor said to them as he is deeply annoyed about the whole thing. Plus he is the only one thus far who has felt something differently when he fought against the rangers.
"Why are those two in particular choosen as rangers anyways? Unless, it is likely that they will become rangers in the future. That is something that can't happen". Wilhelmina said to them as the others nod in agreement.
"Well, it is unknown if there are going to be rangers in the future right now Wilhelmina. The important thing is to destroy the rangers and the world before those rangers stops us". Silvia said to them as she is more annoyed about things as well.
Truman gets up as he looks at them as he has enough of Melodelix ordering him around. "I don't care if we do destroy the rangers. I want to end Melodelix and change her back to the sister that I know and use to love". Truman said to them as he has a full mind to try to get through to her.
Zayden looks at Truman as he can understand that he doesn't like the fact that Irene is fully evil and working with the evil master. "Dude, you have been saying that for awhile. Are you actually doing to do it and go through with it"? Zayden asks Truman as he is not sure about it. The other betraying rangers look at each other as it maybe a bad choice.
Truman nods as he looks at the betraying rangers as he made his final decision on the matter. "Yes, if I don't come back here, all of you will know why". Truman said to them as he leaves the evil headquarters. The betraying rangers look at each other as they realize that the blue betraying ranger is leaving one last time. "I will make sure that those rangers will pay and be destroyed. I will also try my best to bring Truman back here as well". Zayden said to them as he also leaves the room. He even has Zincods with him as well.
Little did they know is that Melodilix over hears the entire conversation. "Well, that will be your final mistake brother". Melodilex said to her self as she grabs a communicator to get in touch with someone. "It is me. When the betraying blue and green rangers attack the rangers, I want you to remove the power from the betraying blue ranger. He is not worth keeping around for Archeron anymore". Melodalix said to a person on the other end of the communication.
"It will be my pleasure Melodalix. Consider it make up for the bad trick that the rangers pulled off on us". A voice said to Melodalix as the communication ends. Melodilix smirks as she gets word that her silent partner will be coming up with a plan.
Dream Sequence
Arlen and Rodney finds themselves as they are back at the summer camp as it is the same location where they orginally first met before reuniting as rangers. "I can't believe that we are back here again". Arlen said to Rodney as it the very camp when they were kids. The scenery has not changed over the years as the camp is still there as well.
"I know what you mean, but this is when we were reunited with the ghosts of Charlie and Sam". Rodney said to Arlen as they are getting the feeling that they are coming to tell them something very important in regarding to getting through to the betraying blue and green rangers.
"We are here Rodney and Arlen".The ghost of Charlie said to the teens as the ghost of Sam nods in agreement. Rodney and Arlen are caught off guard as they turn to face the two ghosts. The two ghosts smile at Arlen and Rodney as they have something to tell them.
"Sam, Charlie, what is going on exactly? Why are you here now though? The last time we tried to tell them about things; those two doesn't really believe us at all". Arlen said to the two ghosts as Rodney agrees with Arlen.
"That's because the truth about things must be revealed to Truman and Zayden about who a person truly is and how to accept themselves on who they truly are". The ghost of Sam said to Arlen and Rodney as they reveal something very important.
"What kind of things that must be revealed to Truman and Zayden though? Do they know this person is? What do you mean by accepting themselves on who they truly are"? Rodney asks them as Arlen is wondering about the same thing.
"Truman needs to know that he doesn't know the full truth about the kind of person Irene truly is. Plus Zayden needs to know that a young girl has also been gotten to by the actions of Irene as well. Remember their true personality from camp and get the to accept who they truly are like how the two of you accept on who the both of are". The ghosts of Charlie and Sam said to them as they vanish away from the dream.
Arlen and Rodney look at each other as they learn that Irene is worse than they thought. As the dream is about to end, the two teens notice a young 10 year old girl who is newly bald like someone cruelly shaved her hair off of her head. "You need to prove them wrong on who you truly are especially to those who has betrayed you". The young girl said to them as a flash of light push them out from the dream.
End Dream
Arlen wakes up as he is startled by the dream as cold sweat is glistening on his forehead. He grabs his morphor as he is confused about the dream. 'I hope that Darantan is up for a late night visit'. Arlen thought to himself as he has no idea that Rodney is already there as well.
At the headquarters, Darantan is surpirsed to see both Arlen and Rodney at the headquarters this early in the morning. "Arlen, Rodney, this is very early in the morning for the both of you, and yet the both of you looked deeply troubled about something". Darantan said to Rodney and Arlen as he wants to know what is going on with the blue and green rangers.
"I had a strange dream, and Arlen was with me. We both saw the same ghosts from before. However, this time we saw a young girl with a bald head. It appeared that she had her hair shaven off of her head very recent". Rodney said to them as he is thinking about the young girl. Arlen nods as it is what he also saw as well.
Darantan looks at the two teen boys as he is thinking about it. "It is curious on why this girl would appear to the both of you. It might be that she shares something in common with the both of you". Darantan said to Rodney and Arlen as he is in deep thought about the dream.
"Yeah but I never seen her before let alone having something in common with her. I mean it is a strange twist of fate that both Rodney and I went to the same summer camp and became rangers". Arlen said to Darantan as he is trying to get it to make sense for him.
Darantan looks at them as he shakes his head to Arlen as he gives them a look. "It might be that she does share something in common with you like sharing a common enemy. Think about it and get to know her as well". Darantan said to Arlen and Rodney. "I suggest that the both of you to get back to bed and gain more sleep. Your strength will be needed". Darantan said to them as he leaves the room.
Rodney and Arlen look at each other as they are wondering about the girl. "Could it be that she does share a common enemy with us"? Arlen asks Rodney as he is not sure about it. Rodney shrugs as he looks at Arlen as it is a good question. "Maybe, we will have to keep our eyes open for her. We just might meet her today". Rodney said to Arlen as they teleport back to their respective houses to get some more sleep.
The next day, at the neighborhood that Irene used to live, a young girl is getting up for the day as she sighs as she has to face another day at the Walkerton School. She has tanned but fair skin tone with a more average body tone. She has a red blouse with a white skirt with flats on as she went to a dresser to grab a reddish blonde wig as she puts it on her head. Things in the neighborhood has been strange ever since one of the neighbor's home was investigated by the police awhile back. It was a huge shock to all of them that a teenage neighbor was keeping a teenager captive. Since then, the police has investigated the family. However, the main suspect in the case has mysteriously disappeared, and her parents didn't have a clue on where the suspect went. The girl is around 10 years old as she went to the living room. She notices her family being really busy as it is chaotic. She is the middle child in a family of 7 children. For her, she is accidently ignored as both of her parents are busy with her other siblings. At the same time, when something bad happens to her, she never really spoken up about it to them and her siblings.
"Oh Natalie good, I thought you are still sleeping in bed". Her mom named Joanne said to the 10 year old girl named Natalie. She is pouring coffee into a tumbler. She is a business woman as she is always in a rush to get to work. Her other siblings are grabbing some toast and juice. Natalie sighs as she shakes her head to her mom.
"I have been up mom". Natalie said to her mom as she spots her dad also heading out the door. She grabs a banana as she grabs her backpack to head out the door. It is not long the other siblings follow her out as well. Joanne sighs as she does worry about Natalie at times. However, she usually focus on the older siblings at times.
At the Walkerton School, Natalie sighs as she arrives at the school despite only being ten years old she is one of the smartest kids in the school. She is heading towards her locker as she notices a group of teens hanging out together. 'They have been together since the start of the school year, and yet there are more people in their special circle'. Natalie thought to herself as she is figuring out their group dymanics. However, she notices two of them as she feels some how connnected to them in some sense. However, she hasn't been able to pinpoint it exactly. She heads down another hallway before the teens gets a good look at the young girl.
"Hey who is that girl that just went down the hallway. Is she a bit young to be in high school"? Ellie asks them as she is surprised to see the young girl. The teens look at each other as they are not sure about the girl at the school.
"Yeah, I am not going to gossip about a young kid. However, she seems to know where she is going though". Amy said to them as the teens seems to agree with the pink cladded teen.
As the bell rings for them to get to class, Anna is sensing something about the young girl as she looks at Caleb. "Are you sensing something about the girl Anna"? Caleb asks Anna as he is also sensing the same thing about the girl.
Anna looks at Caleb as she agrees with him as she can't put her finger on it. "Yeah, I am not sure what it might be though. Do you ever get the feeling that she might be the kind of person who fights against her dragons or the dragons are with her though"? Anna asks Caleb as she is trying to make sense of things.
Caleb looks at Anna as he is thinking what she asks him as Arlen and Rodney hears the question. "I am not sure about that Anna. However, we should get to class though". Caleb said to Anna as they split up to head towards class.
Rodney and Arlen are walking down the hallway as they are heading to their homeroom class as a guy is coming up to them. Arlen notices how uneasy Rodney looks as they spot the guy. "Rodney can we talk? It won't take long". A guy said to Rodney as he seems to appear guilty about something. He has a sheepish expression on his face as he notices the other guy with him.
Rodney looks really nervous and uneasy as he looks at the guy. "You are the one that betrayed and humilated me. I am not sure if I am ready for anything you have to say to me now". Rodney said to the guy as he keeps going towards the classroom. Arlen catches up to Rodney as he is getting the feeling that the guy really hurt him.
"Who was that guy Rodney"? Arlen ask Rodney as he is curious about the guy who blocked his way. Rodney sighs as he gives a glance to Arlen as he doesn't really want to talk about it. He walks in the classroom in silence as both boys spots the young girl. "Rodney, does that girl look familiar to us like we have seen her before"? Arlen asks Rodney.
Rodney looks at the girl as he remembers about the dream especially the ending of the dream. "Now that you mention it, she does look very familiar. Could she be the girl from the dream though"? Rodney asks Arlen as it is a good question to think about.
"It might be the same girl Rodeny. However, why was she in the dream though? It just doesn't make much sense though". Arlen said to Rodney as he is trying to put two and two together. It is not long that the other students are taking their seats. However, they are just as surprised to see a young 10 year old girl in their class.
"Excuse me, aren't you aware that the elementary school is 5 miles to the west". A teenage girl as she is making an attempt to bully the girl as she picks up on the hair. As the hair piece shows her head as bald, everyone is stunned as some of them as laughing at the young girl.
"I didn't think that they let in a cancer ridden girl into our school as a final wish sort of thing". Another teenage girl said to them as some of them are laughing at the young girl. Rodney and Arlen frowns as they are getting ready to defend her when she speaks up towards the mean teenage girls.
"Is this how you judge me for having a bald head and a hair piece by laughter at me? You don't even know the full truth when you only see the true physical appearance. What happened to me is terrible, but sometimes people can not accept the fact my intellect is a part of who I am". The young girl said to them as she doesn't even cry or get upset like she has thick skin about it. Arlen and Rodney are stunned as the girl can defend herself with wisdom of her own. The rest of the class including the mean students are taken aback by how the young girl handled them.
As the teacher walks in, everyone is quiet as she has that knowing look as she knows who was picking on the newest student in school. "Our newest student Natalie Cooper has made an excellent point that we all should think about very clearly". The teacher said to the class as homeroom begins. Arlen and Rodney look at the girl as she is a lot braver than she looks as well. The mean girls gains a couple of detentions as they scoff the fact that they gotten shown up by the young girl.
After class, Natalie is at her locker as the same guy from before went up to her. Arlen and Rodney are wondering about the interaction between them. "I am sorry that I didn't defend you from her Natalie. I am still getting use to the fact that Irene had hands in various things including getting to the smart people in school. If I have known that, I would not have betrayed Rodney like I did back then". The guy said to Natalie as it appears that the two of them know each other.
Natalie shrugs as she looks at the guy as it didn't really bother her. "It is not your fault cousin Blake. It appeared that two boys in the class were going to defend me. However, I handled myself just fine". Natalie said to Blake as she is curious about the two of them. 'Those two, why did I sense that they have special powers like me'. Natalie thought to herself as her past is just as confusing to say the least.
The guy named Blake looks at Natalie as he did notice that Arlen and Rodney look like they are ready to defend her. "Oh you mean Arlen and Rodney, they hang out with the other teens at school. Ever since Rodney has been hanging out with them, he has really grown in front of me. Plus he and Arlen are becoming best friends. I had to admit it, but I am jealous that they have a special bond. Even at Camp Wildwood, those two were inseperable with the other cabin mates. He didn't want even want to hear what I have to say to him". Blake said to Natalie as he thinks back to the days at camp 5 years ago". Blake said to Natalie as truly thinks about it.
Natalie looks at Blake straight in his eyes like she can see his anguish on the mistakes he made in the past. "Time must be earned to listen Blake, and you know this all to well". Natalie said to Blake as she shakes her head to her older cousin. Blake sighs as he looks at Natalie. "I know Natalie. I just wonder how you are so brave to face the harshest things in life by bullies, and yet Irene is the same person who convinced them to do that horrible thing to you. Your hair was your pride and joy before that happened to you. Yet Irene is the same person who convienced me to do that thing to Rodney as well". Blake said to Natalie as he feels deeply guilty about it.
Natalie looks at Blake as she can see how truly sorry he is about it. "Sooner or later, you got to admit to Rodney on how wrong you are about him being truly smart and it is not something to be punished for as well". Natalie said to Blake as the bell rings to get to the next class. "We better get to class Blake. The last thing that the both of us need is a detention". Natalie said to Blake as they went to their next class.
Arlen and Rodney are stunned as the girl and guy deeply know each other and related. Plus they learned that Irene had a hand in various events. "Do you think it is true that Irene had a hand in various things"? Arlen asks Rodney as he is not sure about it. Rodney shrugs as he is not sure about it.
"I am not sure about it Arlen. It maybe that we need to tell Isabelle and the others about it". Rodney said to Arlen as he is think about it. They look at Natalie as they are getting the feeling that Irene did have something to do with it.
As class is dismissed, Arlen and Rodney are going towards Natalie as they are curious about her. However, Natalie leaves the classroom just before they could reach her. "I guess we will have to reach out to her at another time then". Arlen said to Rodney as they are too late to reach her. Rodney nods as he looks at Arlen as they leave class together.
At lunch time, Natalie is holding her lunch tray as she is wondering where to sit in the lunch room. She is getting the vibe that not a lot of people are not willing to let a girl like her to sit with them. She notices Arlen from class earlier as he is going to sit with the group of teens that she noticed earlier that morning. However things are getting ugly for the green cladded teen as he is being pranked on. "I forgot that you are slow in the class and walking". A mean guy said to Arlen as he is being shoved to the floor.
Arlen lands on the floor as Natalie walks up to them as she is getting ready to defend him. "Why do you punish him for being who he is"? Natalie asks the mean guy as she is not afraid of him at all. Everyone is stunned as the young girl is brave enough to stand up to the guy. Whispers are flowing around as they are wondering if she is crazy or even bold enough to step forward like that.
The mean guy turns as he looks at the young girl defending Arlen. "Are you seriously asking me that question little girl? That has to be a joke". The mean guy said to Natalie as he walk towards her. He is about to hit her when Blake stops him. He knows Blake and a bit confused on why he is defending her now. "Step aside Blake, that little girl needs to be taught a lesson". The mean guy said to Blake as he wants to go through with it.
Blake frowns as he glares at the guy as he has enough of it. "No, I don't know how deep Irene had you to punish and bully those who are different or smart some people are. I have seen the actual truth when she had her friends to shave off her hair". Blake said to the mean guy as everyone is stunned as they learn that Irene has done worse things by it.
The teens are closely watching the interaction and the words between Blake and the mean guy as they are wondering what he is going to say next. "WHat ever man, you are probably right about Irene anyways. Plus she is not even back at school since pulling off the disappearing act like my cousin Zayden did three years ago". The mean guy said to them as he walks away from them.
Arlen gets up as he looks at the mean guy as he has a question. "Was Zayden the kind of guy who was a bit eccerntic and slow about things as well"? Arlen asks the mean guy as he is curious about Zayden and his personality. The mean guy is stunned as he turns around to face Arlen. "You can tell me the truth". Arlen said to the mean guy.
The mean guy looks at Arlen as he is trying not to cry or show emotions about it. "Yeah he was, he often came over to the house because his parents didn't like the fact that he wasn't a serious or studious son in the family". The mean guy said to Arlen as he went back to his table with his friends. Everyone is a bit confused as normal conversations went back to normal.
Blake looks at Natalie and Arlen as he notices Rodney at a table with Isabelle and the other teens. "Are you okay Natalie"? Blake asks Natalie as he wanted to make sure that she is ok after all of that. The teens are wondering what is going to happen next as the guy is really nice and caring towards Natalie.
Natalie nods as she looks at Blake. "I am alright, but you should be asking that to Arlen not me". Natalie said to Blake. "You may have defended me from that guy who is still deep in the fog about Irene, but you still to make things right with the person that you have wronged by punishing them on who they are". Natalie said to Blake as she walks away from him to sit by herself.
Blake sighs as he looks at Arlen as the teens are looking at him waiting on what he is going to do. "Natalie, she maybe ten years old, but she is a fighter though. Listen, I am sorry about earlier this morning. I wanted to talk to Rodney about things that Irene wanted me to do". Blake said to Arlen as he went back to sit with his friends.
Arlen is stunned as he went over to the table to sit with the others. "What in the world was that about Arlen? It looked like that guy wanted to hit you before the kid defended you like that". Layla said to Arlen as the others are just as curious about it.
Arlen sighs as he looks at them as he and Rodney talked about things earlier in class. "It seems that Irene had her hands in things long before she became Melodalix. If it is true, then we could probably get Truman to see the light on what kind of person Irene truly is". Arlen said to them as Rodney agrees with him.
"If that is true, it maybe that she has convinced other people to do horrible things to other students here and at other schools though". Caleb said to them as he is thinking about Amy and Frankie as well.
"Yeah but how can we reach out to other people about this though? It is not like someone is going to come up to us about it". Ellie said to them as it is going to be a difficult challenge to under take. She is wondering how deep it truly is as the others does see the yellow cladded teen's question.
Anna looks at Ellie as she thinks about something else entirely. "Ellie, did you protect Victor's and Maria's mom in the battle? It might be that this time that Arlen and Rodney has to protect that mean boy and Blake a battle because they are wrong about who they are as a person". Anna asks Ellie as she thinks about it. The teens look at Anna as they do remember about that battle when Ellie protected a woman who has wronged her.
"You are right Anna. I did protect her from Victor because she is the one that wronged me. It might be that Arlen and Rodney has to protect the mean guy and Blake from Zayden and Truman". Ellie said to them as the teens look at Arlen and Rodney as they realize that protecting a bully is going to be harder than it looks.
"I am not sure about this guys. I mean Blake was the one that betrayed me years ago. It maybe that he was under the direction of Irene on things, but it is not an excuse for him to do what he did to me. Plus just because he is nice to his cousin, it doesn't mean that he has fully changed". Rodney said to them as he leave the lunchroom as he is deeply skeptical about Blake and his newfound change.
The teens look at each other as they are wondering if things will be ok with the blue cladded teen.. "Do you think Rodney is going to be ok Isabelle"? Chris asks Isabelle as he is wondering how to get through to him. Isabelle looks at Chris as she is not sure about it herself.
"I am not sure Chris. It maybe that we will have that one person that we are not comfortable to protect from them even if they have wronged us in the past". Isabelle said to Chris as she is thinking about it as well.
"I have to agree with Isabelle. I was uncomfortable to protect Victor's mom at first, but I moved passed it and did what I had to as well. Rodney has to realize that it is not about him. It is about protecting the person that wronged him". Ellie said to them as she is being blunt about it.
The teens look at each other as they can agree with Ellie. "Ellie is right guys. We might be uncomfortable about it, but it is the only way to gain our secondary powers like the way she achieved it. Rodney needs to realize this as well". Amy said to them as they continue to talk about it not realizing that Natalie overhears the conversation.
'Why does he have to protect my cousin though? I know that Blake has hurt and wronged him in the past, but it just doesn't make sense to me'. Natalie thought to herself as she hopes to talk to Rodney later on. She gets up as she leaves the lunchroom as well.
After school, Rodney is by himself as Arlen has caught up to him as he gives his smile to the guy. "Hey Rodney, you look stressed out about protecting the person who has wronged you". Arlen said to Rodney as they sit down by a bench to talk. Rodney turns as he spots Arlen as he nods to the green cladded teen as he has a faint smile on his face.
"Yeah I am stressed out about it. It baffles me that I have to protect a guy who was once my friend that got convinced by Irene of all people to betray me. It makes me wonder what he said was true about it though. I was betrayed once by him. Who can say that he will do it again though". Rodney said to Arlen as he wants to know about it.
Arlen shrugs as he is not sure about it as he looks at Rodney. "It is unknown that he will do that again Rodney. Plus that other guy at school was probably in the deep fog of Irene just like Blake was". Arlen said to Rodney as he remembers when Blake stood up to the guy while defending the younger girl. Rodney nods as he also saw it just like the others did.
"Yeah but it is that one instance of it Arlen. That one instance is not enough to prove things otherwise". Rodney said to Arlen as he is still some what skeptical about it. He and Arlen does not realize that Natalie spots them as she went up to them.
"How about when Blake found out what Irene had my so called friends did to me"? Natalie asks them as she spots them. She walks up to the two guys as she reveals her bald head as her wig hair piece is in her hands.
Arlen and Rodney are stunned as they spot the 10 year old girl coming up to them. "You are the girl in our class. I thought you would be in elementary school". Rodney said to the girl as they are wondering why she is there and went to the school.
Natalie looks at them as she shrugs to the two teenage boys. "Even though my age and intelligence is higher than most kids my age, my parents thought to send me to my aunt and uncle to recuperate and get over the events that took place. My aunt and uncle thought to enroll me at the Walkerton School because I wasn't being challenged at my old school. Even though they talked to my parents, they seem so indifferent about it and allowed me to attend this school. Blake is my cousin, and he is very protective of me. Plus he is the only one who listens and cares about me. I do have seven other older siblings back home, but they have their own lives to attend to and never made time for me". Natalie said to them as has a warm smile on her face.
"That would explain why you are attending Walkerton School and Blake being your cousin. Are you feeling up to telling us about what happened to you though". Arlen said to Natalie as he is curious about it as they are not aware that Melodalix, Truman, and Zayden along with Zincods are about to ambush them.
All the sudden, beams land near by to them as smoke fills the area as Rodney and Arlen are jumping into action to protect Natalie. "What in the world is going on here"? Natalie asks them as she is not familiar with the situation. She notices how the two guys are protecting her as the smoke is clearing up as strange looking soliders and three people are with them.
"Well, well, well, the 10 year old genius is here in Walkerton after all what I did to you". Melodalix said to Natalie as she is laughing at the ten year old girl. She frowns as she notices the betraying blue and green rangers already here to battle against the rangers. "It took you two long enough to start attacking them". Melodalix said to them as she glares at the blue cladded betrayer.
The blue cladded betraying ranger glares at Melodalix more than Arlen and Rodney. "Get real Irene, I will defeat you and you will return to your normal self". Truman said to Melodalix as his powers are emmitting in his hands as he glares at Melodalix. Zayden nods as he also spots the two teens. "Destoroying you and Melodalix will be a lot of fun as well". Zayden said to them as his powers are also glowing as well. Arlen and Rodney frowns as they realize that they have a lot to handle as it is about to turn into a massive battle as well as protecting Natalie as well.
End Chapter
I decided to make this a two part chapter because there will be some shocking twists within the battle. I hope that everyone is doing well despite the pandemic going on as well.
