Chapter : Some secrets in blue!
At C3, James was the first one to rush into the medical room. As soon as this morning James and Leon got this news they immediately left for C3. They were soon joined by the other members and the Neo defender mentor Rory and star descendant gold ranger Brandon were there.
"Who did that to her?" Leon asked.
"From what I guess it is the work of Xolicernic" Brandon replied.
"And you are…" asked Blake.
"I am Brandon, star descendant gold ranger" introduced Brandon.
"But how are you so sure about this" asked Roxy.
A sad memory popped up in Rory and Brandon's mind. "Because we have faced him and his evil idea of Branding rangers." Rory said to them as he and Brandon explain them about Xolicernic.
The gang looks at Tabitha as they learned everything about Xolicernic and his signature, the branding scar.
Leon look at Rory as he has found a great deal of respect for the veteran rangers. "I had no idea how Xolicernic is the most heinous villain of all ranger history". Leon said to Rory.
James nods in agreement as he looks at Tabitha. "Yeah plus Xolicernic must have evolved his signature to label his victims as his own like he owns them in horrible ways". James said to them.
Roxy looks at the incomplete marks on Tabitha and the mark that Rory gotten years earlier. "I can not image what you, Tess, and Wes went through at the Evil Tower though. It can give any ranger a nightmare for weeks". Rory said to them.
Eldon nods as he looks at them. "Although what I can not image being that human being form still trapped inside of the alien being form. On top of it, that human being form did everything that it could to escape from it. It took a ranger from the past to purge the evil out of the human being form to die the way he wanted". Eldon said to them.
Twyla nods as she looks at them. "Yeah plus on top of that Xolicernic split himself just to get rid of the human being form". Twyla said to them.
Blake nods as she looks at them. "What got me is that Xolicernic also split himself from being sealed into the Book of Jesse". Blake said to them.
Blaise nods as he is the most angry about it. "It is bad enough that the rangers defeated the first two alien split forms, but there is still one more to do deal with. It is that one of them that has even more power than before. It is that one that decided to send a branding drone to brand Tabitha". Blaise said to them.
Rory looks at Blaise as he can see that he is angry about it. "Before I go Rangers, there is an important question I want to ask you. I must warn you that this question will catch all of you very off guard". Rory said to them.
The gang looks at each other as they have no idea what kind of question is going to be asked. "What is it exactly"? Blake asks Rory.
"Is Tabitha, your blue ranger a homeless teenager"? Rory asks them.
The gang look at Rory as it is a hard blow to them. "What"? Blaise asks Rory as it caught him off guard.
"She has a home with parents. She told me that they were out of town for a couple of weeks. She is probably staying at home alone and taking care of things like an independent individual". James said to Rory as he is having a hard time buying it.
Roxy looks at Rory as she is confused by it. "We never really asked about her homelife Rory. Plus we see her at school all the time". Roxy said to Rory.
"Yeah I doubt that Tabi will come out and saying that she is homeless teenager". Twyla said to Rory.
Eldon is surprised by the question that Rory asked them. "If she is homeless, I don't understand why she would be though". Eldon said to them.
Leon is wondering about it like he should get to the bottom of it. "The only person that should answer the question is Tabi". Leon said to Rory.
Rory nods as he is getting the consensus that they don't know about Tabitha's living situation. "I see then. Brandon will be in the area where Tabitha was attacked at. Xolicernic will probably be coming to Majestic Hills to finish the job. In the meantime, all of you need to keep a close eye on Tabitha". Rory said to them. The gang nods as they plan to do just that.
Meanwhile, Lexi was doing some work on the computer. She notices a spirit like being close by to her. "Is something wrong Aloora"? Lexi asks the being named Aloora.
Aloora looks at Lexi as she nods to her. "I am sensing two evil beings. One of them is an evil music fairy while the other one is an evil of unspeakable heinous things that has done to the Rangers of the past and present, Alexandra". Aloora said to the young woman named Alexandra.
Lexi looks at Aloora as it is strange. "An evil music fairy, Why is this the first of heading about a music fairy"? Lexi asks Aloora.
Aloora looks at Lexi as she nods to her. "Music fairies are from a hidden dimension called Musicola. It is actually located here on Earth. I do not know why this evil music fairy is with a great evil like him". Aloora said to Lexi.
Lexi nods as she looks at Aloora. "Do you think that the rangers know that they are here"? Lexi asks Aloora.
Aloora shakes her head to Lexi. "No, it is hard to pinpoint their exact location". Aloora said to Lexi.
Lexi nods as she looks at Aloora. "If only everything would become so clear to me". Lexi said to Aloora as she continues her work.
Back at Aurora Cove, Xolicernic was angry as he came to know that one of his branding robot failed to brand a ranger in Majestic hills.
"How this happened?" asked Xolicernic.
"Master It was the Gold Star descendant ranger who came in way and destroy the robot" said a female figurine.
"That ranger. Huh.. he will regret doing it as now I myself will do this and when I myself do this, it is more haunting and painful" he laughed evilly.
It has been two days since Tabitha was attempted to branded but failed and Tabiitha was still feeling weak.
Tabitha is making camp in a new location in the country side of Majestic Hills when the memories of her sneaking out from C3 passed by her mind.
Flashback-
Tabitha woke up discovering that the others took off for a ranger battle. She immediately got up and was about to leave for the battlefield.
"Tabitha.. what are you doing ou of your bed?" asked Prince Alveno.
"My friends, they need my help in the battle" she replied.
"Tabitha, You are resting here for today and as for the other rangers they will handle this problem of today. You have not fully recovered yet plus others specially James didn't wanted you to engage in a battle for some time and instead take some rest. Also they have some questions for you" Prince Alveno said as he clearly wanted her to stay their to recover a bit more. She knew that she had to get out of their fast and didn't want to tell them about her living situation. She sneaked out from C3 right under her teammates noses.
Flashback end-
Tabitha sighs as she is looking at the stars and the full moon. "At least none of the others can find me out here". Tabitha said to herself.
"I wouldn't count on that girl". A female voice said to Tabitha.
Tabitha frowns as she notices a female being. "Who are you anyways"? Tabitha asks the female being.
"Like I am going to tell you anything. Plus I wouldn't morph if I were you". The female being said to Tabitha.
Tabitha frowns as this being is extremely bad news. "Why should I"? Tabitha asks the female being.
The female being has an evil grin on her face. "Things will get very punishing for you very quickly". The female being said to Tabitha.
Tabitha frowns as she has no idea she meant by it. "What are you talking about"? Tabitha asks the female being.
Xolicernic walk towards Tabitha. "You are suppose have been branded with my branding scars blue ranger. That gold Star Descendants ranger got in the way when my branding drone found you. Since that drone failed to do it, I am here to do it personally. With you, you are one of those rangers that is worthless and living out on the streets. No one really loves enough to live in a house with loving parents or legal guardians. You are the abandoned unloved child. Plus if Eliastro was here, he wouldn't stand in the way of it because he would join in on torturing you. On top of it, none of your ranger buddies know where you are since your morphor is in my hands and has a static interference already placed on it. That way all the privacy that we need is secured". Xolicernic said to Tabitha.
Tabitha frowns as she is being lifted into the air by the female being's power. The branding scar devices are leeched to her body. "I am warning you. You will not get away with it". Tabitha said to them as she is struggling in the psychic grip.
"Hardly, I have been getting away with things far longer than that". The female being said to Tabitha.
As the devices are activated, Tabitha is feeling a burning sensation as it is effecting her. She is struggling to scream as she trying to move.
"Moving is virtually pointless by now", the female being said to Tabitha as she uses her music fairy powers on her.
Tabitha gets hit as she is getting effected by dark music powers. She is screaming as she is in a lot of pain. She can not do much of anything as she is getting the branding scars.
Xolicernic looks at a device as it is showing progress. "It is almost over ranger. Your branding scar will let everyone know what you truly are". Xolicernic said to Tabitha.
Tabitha is screaming like she is in agony. "By the way, screaming makes the branding a lot faster". The female being said to Tabitha.
Xolicernic looks at a device as it is completely done. He has an evil grin on his face. "Finally all of my targets has been marked with my marks including those that has been healed and the ones that has never been marked at all before". Xolicernic said to Tabitha.
The female being released the psychic grip on Tabitha. Tabitha lands on the ground. Xolicernic drops her morphor next to her as it still has the interference on it. They teleport back to the Evil Castle.
Meanwhile, the rangers returned to the C3 after the battle.
"Had Tabitha woken up yet?" asked James.
"Yeah she had but she is still in the medical room" Prince Alveno informed.
The rangers headed towards the medical room but were shocked to see no one there.
"Where is Tabitha?" asked Leon.
"She was there a little while ago. When she was going to help you guys, I stopped her and asked her to take some rest and that you all want her to rest and have some questions regarding her living conditions?" Alveno told them.
"That means only one thing…" Blaise said as he realized something.
"Holly shit…" Roxy too understand that, "she must have left on her own as she might not be willing to tell us the reasons of why she lives on streets."
"Let's go we have to find her." James said as he was about to leave the C3.
"Wait James. You guys are too overwhelmed with the recent battle and are hurt much severely. I want you guys to rest for today and begin the search tomorrow early morning.
James sighed as he took the left things of Tabitha with him.
That night, James and Leon were not able to sleep as they were constantly thinking of Tabitha and they were getting this kinky feeling that she is in some problem.
"James are you getting the same feeling like me" Leon asked.
"It is the same feeling we get when any one of us is in danger from our birth itself" James replied.
"Sometimes I wonder Why I feel so much close to her." Added James as he was looking at Tabitha's things.
Suddenly her eyes went to a photo frame. He curiously took that photo and turned to see it. In the photo there was a baby, a man and… their mother. James was shocked seeing it.
"Leon, look at this" James passed the photo frame.
Leon was shocked too. "What is mom's pic doing in Tabitha's things?" asked Leon.
"Could it be that she is… our half sister. I mean that girl could be her and that man her father. It do match with what grandma told us." James concluded.
"There is only one way to find this out" Leon said as he seemed determind to take some serious steps, " we will be visiting Lawrence residence tomorrow."
