Hey guys! I promised an update soon, and here it is. I will most likely post every 2 weeks with a new update on this story. So far there's no end in sight, but until then, enjoy what I have so far!
"Jake, you look happy," Noah noticed with an eyebrow raised. Jake just laughed and said, "Tell you once we meet the girls at Ernie's." Noah nodded as the three walked along. "I also need to tell you guys something, and it's really important." In a couple of minutes, everyone had met up at the Froyo shop and were all seated. "Okay," Noah started out. "I have something to tell you guys, and it branches off of Disvaluntine." Troy leaned closer in his seat. "Tell us."
Noah sighed and nodded. "Okay, here's what I found out this morning," he began. "Disvaluntine has special eyesight that can see any… well, 'hinting' behavior of a relationship. And I have a feeling that he'll strike today, it being Valentine's Day and all. So I was wondering… have any of you… um, done anything like that today?" Noah carefully asked, bracing himself for the answer.
The first things he noticed were the ashamed looks on all his friend's faces. Jake broke the heavy silence. "To be fair, you didn't warn us before." Emma added in, "And it is Valentine's Day…" Noah crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. He knew he should be worried, but despite himself and the situation, he cracked a smile.
"Well…" Troy started to confess as Noah, Gia, and Jake all raised an eyebrow at him. He shot a knowing glance at Emma, who blushed. "I might have given Emma a rose for Valentine's Day." Emma added, "And I may have asked Troy to the dance on Friday…"Gia looked at Emma with a smile. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
Emma just nodded. Noah let out a slight laugh and shook his head. He didn't expect those two to do much. He wondered what Jake and Gia had done. "What about you two?" He asked, as Emma and Troy also turned to look at them. Jake played with his hands before launching into an explanation.
"Okay, I got Emma's help on this and I gave Gia a…" He took a deep breath. "Yellow rose, chocolates, a teddy bear holding a heart with her name on it, and… a homemade card." Noah blinked. "Whoa! That's a lot of stuff." Jake nodded.
Noah sighed to himself, placing his elbows on the table and resting his chin on them. He glanced around the table and saw the others shift anxiously in their seats. He hated to be the bearer of bad news, but no one else was going to do it. This was a matter of love and death - for both his friends, and the fate of the entire world.
"This is going to make it even harder to tell you about this next part. If he senses that there are some romantic feelings between two people - and I mean even senses it - then he'll shoot one of them with a black arrow. This erases any feelings of love and turns them to pure hate. This way, that person will only be focused on killing the one they loved." He sat back and watched as the other four exchanged worried glances.
"So...let me get this straight," Gia started, eyes wide. "If he shoots one of us, we'll start trying to kill the other?" Noah simply nodded.
Troy spoke up. "But we're a team! We can't have one of our members fighting someone else. All of us have our weapons and skills so that would mean-"
"We might actually succeed in killing someone," Emma finished, voice soft and solemn.
Noah looked at each of them in the eye. "And you wouldn't snap out of your trance until they're dead." Just like that, any semblance of the playful mood they had before evaporated, and the Power rangers Megaforce were forced to confront the harsh reality they had found themselves in. Noah tried to do something, anything to break through the pressure. After all, he was the one to spring in on their special days. "But I mean, as long as you don't act like couples - by that I mean please no banter or smiles or anything, all seriousness - then we should be fine. We should be fine." He hoped to god they believed it. Right now, belief was their only hope for survival without harm.
Thankfully Gia picked up on what he was trying to do, and she nudged Jake jokingly. "This should be easy guys. We're not even a couple."
At this, Jake pouted. "Yet."
Chuckling lightly to himself at their antics, Noah turned his gaze to Emma and Troy. "Can you guys reign it in?" Both of them locked eyes with each other, before turning back to this.
"Of course," Troy said in all seriousness. "This takes priority right now, and everything else is secondary."
"The last thing we want is for any of us to be fighting each other," Emma added in with a small smile.
Noah nodded. "Okay, good. Hopefully though, I'm wrong and Disvaluntine isn't coming today. We seriously need a break from fighting."
Gia let out a heavy sigh, running a hand through her blond locks in frustration. "Especially with the Armada and everything going on right now."
Emma laughed, propping her head in her hands. "Would it kill them to give us one night to be teenagers in love and enjoy ourselves?"
Jake nodded, slamming a fist down on the table dramatically. "We deserve this day! Besides, it's already 5:000 in the evening. Chances are, Disvaluntine isn't even coming anytime soo-"
CRASH!
Troy rolled his eyes as the 3 other pairs of eyes turned to glare towards Jake. "Really Jake? Really?"
Without another second of hesitation, the five of them jumped up from their seats, mentally preparing themselves for the reality of this latest monster. "Where are those power rangers?" Came a growling voice that most likely belonged to none other than this latest villain. "I'm going to wipe them all out on this precious day of love."
Noah seemed to sense what everyone was thinking for a second later he spoke. "It's him alright." He fixed them all with a pleading look. "Just please, all of you...be careful."
Troy nodded in determination. "We will. Everyone hands in. Earth's defenders..."
"Never surrender!"
