Chapter : The Beast stone of fairy- Part II!
In the forest area, near a river, James was sitting on a stone.
"James you are sitting here and I was looking for you for last two hours" James turned to see Leon standing there with a smile on his face, "Now come with me everyone is worried for you."
"Leo…on" was all what James was able to say before tears formed in his eyes.
"James! You don't have to feel down. We all are with you." Leon assured him, "We are just glad that you came out to us. And you know what someone else do came out as well"
Flashback-
James had just left the C3 and everyone was still in shock.
"Woah! That was quick and touché one" Blake was the first one to break the silence.
"What happened guys!" Leon was the next to talk, "don't you say you guys are homophobic or something"
"If you are guys then I should better go away too" Blake said as she was going to reveal something, "I myself is a lesbian."
"Whattt?" Blaise was not able to stop his tongue.
"Woo, It seems it's a come-out day for us" Tabitha sighed.
"Guys instead of talking to each other here we should be going out to find James and talk to him" suggested Roxy.
"We have an important work in hand guys" Leon pointed out, "You guys carry on with the work. I will bring him back here."
Flashback end-
James cladded Leon in his arms as he stated to cry.
"Don't worry kiddo, everything is fine." Leon sympathised him, "Everyone is with you. Now come on lets head back to C3. "
Just as they were about to head towards the C3, they saw a bright light in the forest nearby to their position.
"What was that?" James puzzled, "Or am I seeing things."
"I think we should go there and check what had happened?" Leon suggested and the twin headed towards that area.
As the two rangers approached the area they saw the light coming from, they saw Skulker with an unconscious woman who, by his acts, seemed to be abducted by him.
"What's Skulker doing here?" questioned James, " and who's that woman he had with him?"
"I don't know James" Leon replied, "But one thing is for sure that we should help that woman"
"Stop right there, Skulker" called Leon as the twin came out of hiding.
"Leave that woman alone before we destroy you" James threatened him.
"In your dreams Garuda" replied back Skulker, "go away otherwise you will have to face my wrath."
"James call everyone and try to wake that woman" Leon directed, "Till then I will do my best to keep him engaged in fight."
James nodded as he was trying to communicate with the others but due to magnetic effects of the mountain area they were in he was unable to contact them.
Leon on the other hand morphed and rushed into a fight with Skulker. Skulker, seeing the red ranger attacking him, put Maya and called on gobots.
James saw his brother in danger and him being not able to communicate with the other rangers, he to morphed and joined the battle.
James was up against the gobots as he was using his wipes to attack the gobots.
Leon was still handling the Skulker who seemed to be over powering him.
"You rangers always has to put your nose in our plans" Skulker said , "but this time the victorious will emerge in my form."
" Yeah! Skulker, But that will all be in your dreams" Leon replied back and they again clashed their weapons.
Soon James was able to destroy the gobots and looked around for the woman but she was nowhere to be found. " Where had that woman gone?" James asked loud enough for Skulker and Leon to hear him.
"Nooo! It was only your fault that she get away." Skulker shouted as he pushed Leon back and kicked him sending him onto the ground near James, "I have to leave to have that woman under my possession."
Skulker vanished from the place, leaving the two rangers wondering about what happened.
"Leon! I think we should head back and have a talk on this with others" James suggested as the two left.
Back at the Legacy Hills, the rangers were in med bay as they were being treated for the injuries in the battle while Abby and Raine were trying to figure out more about the Skulker and trying to find out where supposedly he had taken Maya.
It was then that the college rangers teleported in to the Great library.
"What happened Abby?" Leon, yellow lore keeper ranger, was the first to react, "why you called us here in this much hurry."
" ..And where is Maya and others" added Alvin, the green lore keeper ranger, as he looked around.
"Had something bad happened" Cassie, the pink lore keeper ranger, said as she was scared for Sora, "is Sora Alright?"
"Rangers there is an emergency." Abby turned towards them , "You see in the recent battle, a fiend appeared who is from future. The rangers battled him and an upgrade version of Yimsim, who supposedly was because of the help of this fiend who called himself Skulker. He was behind something called princess powers. Rangers thought he was behind AV but he.. he… he abducted Maya."
"What? But why Maya" asked Peter the gold lore keeper rangers.
"We have no idea about this Peter" Abby replied back to him.
"So of which team from future is this fiend from" Alvin asked.
"He fight against a new team called defender beasts, in a town named Majestic Hills" Raine informed, "The team is in the same time frame of Neo defenders."
"Any information of Maya?" was the first question AV asked as she and other teen rangers entered the main ops where Abby, Raine and College rangers were.
"Yeah it seems we have to go into the future again this time." replied Abby, "but I am afraid that only some of us will be going."
"I understand what you are saying Abby" Sora nodded in understanding, "There is a threat of Yimsim or any other villain attacking the town if we all left. So it will be better if we split into two groups."
"I think it is related to that dream" Eva pointed out.
"What dream are you talking about?" asked Peter.
"Yeah you were about to tell us about that dream before that attack" Marcus remembered.
"It was a dream that not only I, Eva and Sora shared but Abby and Maya were also there." AV told them.
"Lurre was there in the dream. She was talking about us five being the one who can open up that flower of fairy princess power." Eva answered.
"I too think this is about that" Sora said.
"So what will we be doing now?" Chris asked.
"Me, AV, Eva, Leo, Alvin, Caisse, Adam and Abby will be going behind that fiend and bring Maya back. I want rest of you guys to stay here and Guard the city." Sora said.
"We got it Maya" said Sara.
"Now we should be going" Abby said.
Back at the Majestic Hill forest, Lexi was wondering here and there seemed to be looking for something.
"There has to be that shortcut around here somewhere." Lexi said to herself, "I should keep searching for it.
Just then, Lexi heard some footsteps. She followed the voice to see who is around. He saw a hooded figure carrying a woman who seemed to be unconscious but gaining her conscious slowly and was chained.
"Why that woman seemed to be familiar" asked Lexi to herself, "more importantly what is that fiend doing with him."
"It was on time that I abducted her from the battle scene when Skulker and those rangers were battling. Now I will achieve my goals without anyone's help" laughed the figure evilly as he put down the woman near a tree and he himself too set down to take a little rest.
Lexi frowned as she heard the figure's words. She was determined to take free that woman from that enemy.
Lexi headed closer to them as calmly and quietly as possible. It was then that Lexi recognised the woman. 'She is Maya. The two time red ranger and the mentor to lore keeper team. The book with the red that Aloora had given me was about him.' Lexi thought.
'But what is she doing in this time frame. She is from past.' She thought again.
By this time Maya had gain consciousness and instead of physically trying to break free, she was analysing the situation around and trying to figure out a way to get away from this fiend's clutches.
Maya saw a paper plane coming from behind her, landing near her. There was something written over on it. " Get ready for the escape. Just when the light flash." The message said. Maya turned to see a girl in white clothing hiding behind the bushes on her right side. It was all done in so much silence and with so much smoothness that the hooded figure didn't get the smell of this plan cooking under his nose.
At the outskirt of the town, the lore keeper rangers were teleported along with Abby.
"So what should we do now?" asked Alvin, "Don't say we should spread in groups and find any help or Maya."
"Yeah we have a bad history with the other rangers when we spread with Adam being with us" Leon chuckled as he was the first one to get Alvin's little joke.
"Hey! Come-one it was only once that happened" Adam defended himself.
"Ah-Ah! Sorry to say this but actually it was two times when you get egaged in a fight with another ranger" AV to joined with Alvin and Leo in teasing Adam.
"Not you also, AV" Adam frown.
"Whatever it may cause us guys but we don't have any choice for now" Sora said, "we have to do it against what Alvin said."
"I hereby will try to contract Neo defender team. Maybe they have any idea of where this team's base is and then we can get help from there." Abby suggested.
"Ok than we should split up now" Cassie added.
At the C3, Blake, Roxy, and Twyla were there working on the search for the Beast stone of fairy"s location. It has been some time when the red and green ranger had returned and told them about the encounter they had. Prince Alveno was getting the feeling that this woman is important so he had send Tabitha, Eldon and Leon to search for her. Blaise told Prince that he was not feeling well so Prince asked him to go and take some rest. James had gone out to bring some refreshment for the team.
"Prince see this we got something relevant related to the fairy queen's last battle and the giving away of the beast stone" Twyla called Prince Alveno.
"What's it that you find?" Prince Alvino asked.
"It said that the right owner of the fairy stone will be accompanied by the map holder, the keys within the daughter of three lights and the successor of a great helper. It is only then that the lotus will blossom and the fairy stone will be passed on to its successor." Blake read the writing written under a picture which was too oddly drawn that it was not possible to find out what it depicts.
"I wonder what this is all about." Martin said.
"Oh- no! Prince could this be possible that the woman about whom we heard from James and Leon could be the important part of this prophecy." Roxy suggested.
"Yeah! This can be like this" nodded Prince, "and if it is so we must find that woman."
Meanwhile, Blaise was sitting on a remote bench at the park at the remotest area. He was still frustrated with what happened few hours ago.
"Why the hack had he done that?" Blaise cried as he was too frustrated and he was sure that no one be there, " I know I was at one point enjoying the kiss but it was not my fault. It's immoral and I am not an unethical person so I can't be a homosexual. I had been in a relationship with two girls earlier and both of the relationships were because of mutual attraction. I don't know why can't he just forget about this and on top of this he had to come out to everyone at this point of time when we have so much to deal with. What a selfish person is he? He only thinks and care for himself."
Though he was saying these words but at the same time he was feeling the irony of the words too.
Also in contrast to what he thought, Cassie had heard what he was saying but instead of going and talking to him, she thought of continuing with her search.
Sora and AV were in the woods as they were searching for their mentor.
"Hey you two!" someone called them from behind, "what are you doing here? It's dangerous roaming around."
"We can ask the same from you" Sora backfired at the Leon and Eldon who were standing before them.
Before they could continue with the conversation some laser beams were shot at them. From nowhere appeared a group of gobots and Skulker, Trakken and Naiaden.
"You can't go away with that mentor of yours until you defeat us" said Skulker.
"Skulker!" the four said in unison and then looked at each other realizing their little secret.
"Defender Beasts, rise to defend"
"Unlock the legend"
The four morphed into their respective suits.
"They can easily overpower us, Leon" Eldon said.
"What should we do now?" Leon asked to Sora.
Sora eyed Leon from behind the helmet as if he had done some obvious mistake, " We should contact our teams to help. Until then we should fight a long range fight."
Leon nodded as he and Sora called their teammates.
During the same time, James had just came out of the bakery shop. He seemed to be much relaxed than before but it looked like his faith has been shattered.
He had only taken a few steps coming out of the shop when he bumped into Eva.
"Oh! I am sorry. It's my bad. I was not paying attention" James apologised.
"It's not entirely your fault. I was too not paying attention" Eva suddenly started to get some vibes from this person. Vibes of no faith and sadness, "Mind me telling what is worrying you."
James feel himself as if magnetized to talk to this girl. "You see there is so much going on in my life. I recently came out to my friends about being gay and they are ok with it. But.. I think I lost my faith on love and relations." James turned towards Eva, "You see, I don't have faith in my mother. She kind of abandoned me and my brother for once but not only us she had abandoned a half sister to us. My grandfather is someone about whom I prefer not to talk and the boy I love, he himself is abandoning my love because of his fake pride of being heterosexual and not accepting even himself."
"You see as much as I understood, you are mistaking in faith." Eva replied, "Faith is something called base of life. Once faith is over Life is over. Instead I suggest you to see things from different perspectives. I mean, may be your mom had some very strong reasons for what she did plus I think I know someone who will be of help when it comes to having a half sibling. Maybe you are not understanding the delima that boy is in?"
James seemed to see things from that prospective but before any of them could say something further their morphers went off. They looked at each other as they realized their identities and then nodded to each other before heading towards the co-ordinates they received.
At the battle field the rest of the rangers reached unmorphed.
"Woah looks like there are many monsters here for our welcome" Adam joked.
"Let's not disappoint them then" Tabitha added.
They all morphed into their respective suits. All eyes went to receive orders from Sora and Leon and Leon in tern looked at Sora.
"Ok! partner up color wise. Those who didn't have same color wait. Yellows and Black handle the spider monster, Blues and Silver and Crimson handle the serpent monster and green with us to Skulker, rest handle the gobots."
All noded and rushed towards their respective targets however Leon was about to say something but held himself back but this had caught Sora's eyes.
It was planned up attack but except the rangers battling the gobots no other team were doing good against their respected enemies.
Naiaden's continuous sonic attacks were a great problem for Twyla, Adam, Leo and Roxy. Adam and Leon had changed into Rpm black and Rpm yellow respectively. But still the sonic attacks were able to penetrate the shield of black rangers and stop the attacks of yellow rangers. The rangers were being tossed like garbage cans.
The condition with AV, Tabitha, Eva and Eldon was more pathetic. Even though Av had transformed into spirit warrior blue and Eva into Spd Nova but still including the power of Tabitha and Eldon, they were beaten badly.
Leon, Sora, James and Alvin were also trying hard to put forth an effective fight but all in vain. Skulker was proving to be much more powerful. It was then that Skulker send a powerful blast at them when a hodded figure appeared.
"Leave them here Skulker, I got the location of that map keeper and the descendant to the power. We should head there." The hodded figure told Skulker.
"You got lucky this time rangers but don't dare to come in my way" Skulker threatened, "Everyone retreat."
The rangers are left hurt especially the group battling Skulker. Everyone came to their aid as they were trying to stand back on their foot.
"Leon! Defender beasts Red ranger" Sora yelled, "I challenge you to a dual."
"What?" was all that left Leon's mouth. As others were in shock too.
Meanwhile a hurt Maya and Lexi were heading onto a mountain with an old base at the top.
"We are almost there Maya. Just some little distance to cover" Lexi tried to build Maya's faith before the scene turned black.
