Five times she saved each of the boys and the one time they saved her.


Tyler:

The Red and Pink Rangers took it upon themselves to fight Fury, who had attacked their base. Fury particularly targeted Tyler, pinning him to the corner as he delivered blows mercilessly and Shelby felt a surge of protectiveness for her boyfriend.

She pulled out her sabre, as she flung herself at Fury from behind, effectively slashing him across the back, causing him to cry out in pain. He turned to knock her aside, but Tyler managed to recover on time to prevent Fury from hurting her then kicked him harshly through the doors, which caused him to growl in anger and vanish.

They stood back-to-back as they caught their breath. Tyler looked over at Shelby, a genuine warm smile tugging on his face.

"Thanks for saving me back there, Shelbs."

Shelby smiled in return as she glanced at him, her eyes glistening with love. "Always."

The two shared a secret kiss before the others joined them.


Riley:

Riley was not really closeted per say, his interest in men (and a certain black ranger), was always out in the open.

So, when Shelby heard a group of people call Riley incredibly degrading names and cornering him, she felt fury swirl within her, especially since Riley was like a brother to her.

She found herself throwing her stuff down and walked up to the tallest of the group, grabbing him by the arm harshly then when he turned his attention to her, she let go.

"You're a miserable piece of shit." She seethed. "People can love who they want without anyone making them feel bad for it. What kind of a human are you for making someone feel guilty for loving someone of the same gender?"

The group's eyes were wide with fear from the anger she was radiating while Riley was looking at Shelby with pride and awe as well as a grateful look.

"Okay, Okay, I apologize." The man squeaked and ran off with the group. Shelby was still seething when Riley placed a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to see him smiling reassuringly.

"Thank you."

And that was enough for her to calm down.


Koda:

There was a rumor (although it was true in reality,) that spread that the man with long hair and blue clothes was indeed a caveman. So, when Koda came into work, he did not expect to be surrounded by people poking and prodding at him.

"No touch, please." He begged as he grew shaky, beginning to sweat.

"HEY!" A voice snapped, which startled the crowd. Everyone turned to see Shelby storming her way through the crowd. She had heard the rumor and she was not pleased.

"He's asking you not to touch him, but you guys keep prodding and poking at him like he's some treasure to marvel, he's a regular human just like us, so whoever said he was a caveman, needs to apologize." She finished firmly as she stood in front of Koda.

There were a few murmurs of apologies and the crowd dispelled. The lie went smoothly as planned and when she turned to Koda, she saw the tears form in his eyes and he scooped her up in his arms, hugging her tightly.

"Shelby, the best!"

Shelby flushed a light red as she shakes her head, not being used to the compliments, but she relented and hugged him back.

"I'm not the best, just being a good friend."

Koda disagreed by practically squeezing her harder.


Chase:

Chase lay on the floor as he grabbed his head. The monster had hit him with yet another mind controlling spell, but he tried his damn best to fight it. The voice taunted him with words that he knew that were not true.

Each second that passed were agonizing as his body heated up with the pain and he was forced out of morph. His head felt like it was about to explode, and he could feel Riley's arms cradling him.

Shelby watched as she looked towards the Amulet the monster was wielding. Her eyes furrow in determination as she threw herself into the line of fire, avoiding each laser with precision as she kicked the mind control amulet out of its hand, causing it to protest.

She kicked the monster away, using it as a launching pad. She flipped through the air, then smashed the amulet with her feet, effectively breaking the spell on Chase.

"Leave him alone." She expressed as her eyes burned with fury, she turned around to check on Chase.

"Chase, are you okay?" She kneeled, as she observed him worry filling her.

Chase, who had his head buried in Riley's chest, looked up and nodded weakly as a grateful smile appeared on his face.

"Thanks to you, I am."


Ivan:

Getting used to the more modern times was quite a challenge, Ivan had mused to himself after a near death experience. He had unknowingly crossed a busy street, which caused the pink ranger who accompanied him to panic.

He did not realize how close he was to dying until she heard her panicked screech of his name and a car horn then the sudden jerk of his body being thrown.

"Lady Shelby?!" He sat up quickly as worry overtook him. She had saved his life.

"I'm okay" She lifted herself up from him as she smiled.

He knew then he was forever in debt to her.


The one time they saved her:

This was supposed to be a solo mission given to her by Kendall, but it had gone downhill fast.

Shelby was on a stakeout against Fury to see what he was up to, but she had to do it alone since all six of them would be too much. Tyler had protested it in fear of her safety, but Shelby had reassured him cupping his face in her hands to calm him down.

Tyler was still riddled with protective fear, but he had eventually relented.

Shelby had been noticed by Fury the second she arrived, and she was immediately locked into battle with him.

The first half of the battle, Shelby was reigning victorious as she delivered blow after blow, but then the tides turned in favor of Fury as he slashed her across the stomach, causing her to scream in pain.

He parried her away, sending her flying and she hit the tree with a sickening crunch. She was forced out of morph as she lay there bleeding from her head and stomach.

"I finally get to repay the favor of finishing you off like how you almost finished me off, pink ranger. Your energem will be mine." Fury exclaimed and he raised his sword to deliver the killing blow.

"Stay away from her!"

A voice roared with such intense anger that it scared her.

Fury was knocked back violently as explosions surrounded him, causing him to shout in pain.

Shelby's vision was blurry from the blood that was seeping down from the laceration on her head but then she felt a pair of strong familiar arms wrap around her and lift her up, cradling her close. Tyler.

"Shelby, stay with me. We got you." Tyler pleaded as his dark eyes glistened in the sunlight from the tears that were being shed.

"Tyler.." She whispered as she reached out a hand but then her vision faded and she passed out in his arms, the last thing she heard was her boyfriend's broken cry of her name.


When Shelby came to, she was in the base. She had to squint as the light was too bright for her taste.

"She's awake." One voice declared softly, while another spoke up.

"Turn down the lights!"

Shelby was greeted by Tyler's relieved face as he cupped her cheeks carefully so he would not jostle her stitches and kissed her, Shelby happily returning it.

"You're okay," He breathed after he pulled away for air.

She smiled despite being in pain and nods.

"Thanks to you guys." Her eyes drift over to where Chase, Riley, Ivan and Koda stood, tears in their eyes from pure relief of saving her on time.

"You saved us, Shelby. It was our turn to save you."

Shelby knew, that if she had her boys by her side, they would always be there for her.
