Chapter - New silver in an old blue Part - 2!
The next morning, Leon and James walk in the main ops room to find Ash and the others arriving at the Cave as it is an early Saturday morning. "What is this about Tabitha disappearing again"? Ash asks them as Kiki is upset while Verna is angry about it.
Leon looks at them as he nods to them. "Tabi mysteriously vanished late last night. We suspect that it was a monster sent by your main villain". Leon said to them.
That's why we need to do research on the monsters and villains that are in the ranger team books". James said to them.
Rory and Melissa nods as they are carrying books towards them. "According to our scan, it has parts of a rat, panda, and a wild cat in this particular hybrid monster". Rory said to them.
"Plus your team just arrived to C3. Prince Alveno is explaining the situation to them as we speak". Melissa said to them.
The teens nod as they grab the books. "Let's get to work guys. The sooner we find out on what this thing is, the sooner we find them". Ash said to them.
"Right", the teens said to them.
As they are getting into the research, Verna frowns as she closes the book on Elemental Fusion. "Well Elemental Fusion is out of the equation. Nothing about a rat, a panda or a wild cat were monsters that haunted the Elemental Fusion Rangers". Verna said to them.
Aiden nods as he just finished with Jurassic Squad ranger team books. "Same here, most of the monsters were either dinosaur like or reptile based monsters". Aiden said to them as he closes the book and stood up as he does not like sitting still for very long.
Will is looking through the Elemental Saints book as he got something. "Here is something about a wild cat". Will said to them.
The teens turn to Will as it is the first lead into it. "Really tell us more", James said to Will as he is getting anxious about it.
The teens notice that James is getting anxious about it. "Let Will talk about it first James". Harry said to James.
"Yeah I get that you are ridiculously worried about Tabitha, but this is not how to go about it". Mari said to James.
James sighs as he looks at them. "I am sorry guys. Please go on Will". James said to them.
"According to this, this wild cat is actually a demon monster that attacked the Elemental Saints Rangers. This demon monster has a special ability to control others through its spore or thorn that it fires from the monster. The thorn or spore turns the victim into a monster and controlled by the wild cat demon monster". Will said to them.
"That's one ugly monster and special ability". Liz said to them as she shivers by the thought of it.
"How to reverse the control? Plus what does it get it off on"? Leon asks Will.
"The thorn or the spore has to be removed by the rangers. The thorn or the spore feeds off the victims negative emotions and feelings about things that recently happened to the victim. The deeper the negative feelings and emotions, the deeper of the control that the monster has on the victim. In order to reverse the effects, the spore or thorn has to be removed from the victim and destroy it". Will said to them.
James frown as he realizes on what it is. "Oh man, ever since Tabi found out on how we are related to her and knowing our mom, she got really mad and angry at us". James said to them.
Liz looks at them as she thinks about it. "She is still trying to coming to terms with it, James. She is probably trying to process things as well". Liz said to James.
Kara nods as she agrees with Liz. "Yeah I came to terms with Ash being my twin brother. Plus we both found out that our own biological parents are still alive". Kara said to them.
As the research is continuing, most of the books has been eliminated. "Guys, I got a major hit in the Beast Warrior book". Daniel said to them.
"How major of a hit"? Harry asks Daniel. He closed the book on Star Legends.
"Can you say two birds hit with one stone of a major hit. The rat and the panda are actually Ruko and Ci-Ci. According to the book, these two were deeply loyal to their master named Dr. Zingerot. Ruko got into the blue ranger while it tried to get into the head of the yellow ranger. Ci-Ci follow up with Ruko and tried to get into the yellow ranger as well. It is the blue and yellow Rangers that ended them respectively". Daniel said to them.
As the rangers look at the pictures of Ruko and Ci-Ci respectively, they cringe at the sight of them. "I can not imagine what they went through and dealt with a them getting into their heads with a darkness". Mel said to them.
Harry and Aiden frowns as these two villains that fought against their main and hidden ranger ancestors. "Daniel, did you see anything in that book on Love Conquers All"? Aiden asks Daniel.
The teens look at each other as they turn to Aiden. "What does that have to do with these two monsters"? Leon asks Aiden.
Aiden looks at Leon as he goes in to explain. "Love conquers all is the secondary power and form that the Beast Warrior rangers earn. This occurs when they see a love one like a boyfriend, girlfriend, or a family member getting hurt. However the rare exception to this the ranger accepting that the individual ranger is truly loved by others on the team". Aiden said to them.
Daniel looks at the book again as he turns to the section on the secondary form. "Here it is everything about love conquers all. The only ranger that made the exception happened is a ranger named Terra Sloane Noble. She was the yellow ranger". Daniel said to them.
James thinks about it for a minute as he remembers about the strange creature that has been showing up in Majestic Hills. "Daniel what was her power as the yellow ranger"? James asks Daniel.
Kiki looks at James as she is getting the feeling that something is up. "What's going on James"? Kiki asks James.
"Lately a creature has been showing up in our battles protecting Tabi. After the battle was over, the creature took off like it knows her for some reason. We know that it is brightly colored in mostly yellow and gold and it has claws". James said to Kiki.
Daniel turns to the page on Terra. "According to this, her zord was a tiger". Daniel said to them.
Leon looks at Daniel as he turns to Will. "Was Terra a gold ranger by any chance"? Leon asks Will.
The teens look at each other as Will quickly turns to the page on Terra. "Yes she was, in fact she was also the ranger mentor to the Elemental Saint Rangers". Will said to them.
It hits Kiki as she figures it out. "Holy Saints Alive", Kiki said to them as she got a realization.
Everyone is stunned by her eccentric personality and behavior. "Woah Kiki where is the fire at"? Ash asks Kiki.
Leon and James are stunned as Kiki is getting the family tree papers. "Umm, whats going on with her"? Leon asks them.
"I have no idea", James said to them.
Kiki places the family tree papers on the table. "This is my family tree and as extensive as it looks I have four hidden ranger ancestors. The symbol of the tiger cross points towards Terra Sloane Noble. My father Dominic and David were half brothers who shared the same mother. That mother is the great grand child of Anya Liberty Noble whose mother is Terra Sloane Noble". Kiki said to them.
"You are correct Kiki", the ghost of Terra Sloane Noble said to them as she arrives at the Cave. She has the tiger with her and a saintly figure with her.
The teens are stunned to see a ranger ghost at the Cave. Leon and James are deeply surprised by the arrival of the ranger ghost. "You are Tabi's ancestor, but you are really short". James said to Terra. Leon is completely speechless as he looks at James. "Umm James, I would cool it if I were you". Leon said to James.
Terra nods as she looks at them. "Yes even when I am a ranger ghost, I still have that entrance that shocks people. I may ended up at 5'2". I kicked the butts of idiots that pointed about and made fun my height. This is not about me. This is getting Tabitha back from that hybrid monster. Plus I recognize those parts of Ruko, Ci-Ci, and that Wild Cat Demon Monster as well. It is one thing to make an idiotic decision, but it is another thing to bring back monsters that has caused pain trouble for the teams that I was involved in". The ghost of Terra said to them.
The teens look at the ghost as she is referring to Leon and James. "What do you mean by an idiotic decision"? James asks Terra.
Terra gives them a look as she is not pleased with them. "How about you two telling Tabitha about how you two are related to her. Telling her the way you two was far from the perfect and idyllic timing. Plus I am not the only one that agrees with me". Terra said to them as she is angry with them.
The teens look at each other as they are wondering who else Terra is talking about. "Not the only one meaning", Leon said to them.
Another ghost appears to them as this ghost is a male. "She means by me. I am the Ghost of David Wilkerson". David said to them as he arrives at the Cave.
The teens are stunned to see the ghost of David. "You must be Tabitha's father". Leon said to David.
"That's correct, I have always wondered about what Martha's sons looked like. When I found out about the two of you, I was in shock that she kept something huge from me. It was like I truly never knew her. Her selfish reasons cost a lot of things including my marriage to her". David said to
James is stunned as he looks at the ghost. "Wait you knew about us? Plus why do you say selfish reasons"? James asks the ghost.
The ghost of David nods as he looks at them. "I meet a nice couple at the grocery store. Tabitha was with me and she was 18 months old. As we got to talking, Martha was brought up. It was revealed that Martha is the woman's sister. They told me about the two of you. I was in shock because I never knew about them. That's when they told me that they are raising them because she was unwed teenager. They were shocked by the fact that she never told me about you two. When I confronted Martha about it, she wanted to prove to her family that she is in a stable marriage to raise her children. She also told me the reason why Dominic and his wife Sandra has not meet Tabitha because she didn't want any relatives taking her children to raise like how her sister and her husband got the two of you to raise. I told her that her reasons was very selfish. She failed to tell me anything about her family like it is one big secret from me. We divorced not long after that. When we divorced, I became the mother and father to Tabitha. I deeply love Tabitha so much and put everything in to her. I planned to tell Tabitha about the two of you when she turns 18 years old. I was planning to sit her down about it. However the car accident that took my life stopped me from telling her the truth. I am deeply disappointed in you two for not sitting her down properly with the revelation that you are her brothers". The ghost of David said to James and Leon.
Leon and James look at them as they realize that the ghosts are right. "We only blurted in front of her and the others. It was not in a deeply private spot. We definitely messed that up". Leon said to them.
James nods as he realizes the mistake. "We need to apologize to her deeply". James said to them.
Terra nods as she looks at them. "Yes the both of you do. Plus it is my demons of being unloved is in her as well. Each one of you need to tell her what love really is". Terra said to them. The ghost vanishes from them as they left them with clues to help Tabitha.
All the sudden, the alarm is going off as it shows Cirukom and another monster attacking at a park. The monster is a dark blue and dark silver mutant mermaid.
"Guys I got a bad feeling that second monster is actually Tabitha". James said to them. The teens are in shock as they look at the monster on the screen.
At the park in Aurora Cove, Cirukom and the controlled monster (Tabitha) are making a huge havoc on the people as they have Rampigs with them. "Go my unloved pet and create havoc and fear into the humans". Cirukom said to the other monster.
The other monster nods as she is starting to attack in the area. The people are running away in fear and panic.
"STOP RIGHT THERE", Ash and Leon said in unison. The teens are standing together as they are ready to fight.
James frowns as he looks at the other monster. He knows it in his heart that it is Tabitha. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER"? James asks Cirukom as he is very angry.
Cirukom looks at James as he laughs at him. "Your little friend is so heartbroken about so many things in her life. Let's not forget that she is deeply angry at the two of you. My special thorn is in her and now she is under my control. Go my unloved pet destroy them". Cirukom said to the monster.
The monster nods as she glares at them especially at Leon and James. "Yes Master", the monster said to Cirukom. To Leon and James, it is not Tabitha's voice like the evil control has taken her over.
Leon notices that James is very angry and ready to jump the gun. "James hold on, we have to be smart about this. That monster is definitely Tabi. We have to get through to her without hurting her too much". Leon said to James.
Ash nods in agreement with Leon. "Leon is right James. Plus Rory is contacting Prince Alveno about the battle. It won't be long until the rest of your teammates will be here". Ash said to James.
James sighs as he looks at them. "Alright", James said to them. The teens grab their morphors out.
"Neo Defenders Execute the Power", Ash and his team said in unison as they morph into ranger form.
"Defender Beast, Rise to Defend", Leon and James said in unison as they morph into ranger form.
"Go my unloved pet and Rampigs, destroy them all". Cirukom said to them as the fight is getting started.
Back at C3, the rest of the Defender Beast teens are wondering about Tabitha. "How in the hell did a monster get to Tabitha without tripping the alarm"? Blaise asks them as he is angry about it.
Blake shrugs as she looks at Blaise. "I do not know Blaise. You really got to cool it". Blake said to Blaise.
Prince Alveno walks into the room as he gotten news from Rory. "Rangers, the monster named Cirukom that has caused this is spotted in Aurora Cove. Tabitha has turned into a monster and under its control. The battle is getting started at the park in Aurora Cove". Prince Alveno said to them.
The teens look at Prince Alveno as the battle is getting started. "Let's get our friend back guys". Roxy said to them. The teens nod as they plan to head out
"Please wait", a fairy said to them as she has something with her.
The teens are surprised by he young fairy. "Who are you anyways"? Eldon asks the fairy.
"I am Yoleidia. The Silver Neo Defenders Power chosen Tabitha to use its powers. Your friend needs to be freed from the monster". The fairy named Yoleidia said to them.
The teens are stunned by the news as they had no idea that Tabitha is chosen. "Hold on though, would it be Gabby to receive the silver powers since she is our silver ranger"? Corrin asks Yoleidia.
Yoleidia shakes her head to Corrin. "That is not the case gold ranger. You see Tabitha is one of two chosen ones to receive the gold and silver Neo Defenders Powers respectively. It is their destinies to receive these powers. You must never disrupt a destiny that belongs to someone else". Yoleidia said to them.
Prince Alveno nods as he looks at them. "Yoleidia is correct Rangers". Prince Alveno said to them as an alarm is going off.
The rangers frown as they hear the alarm. "They must either taken full advantage of Leo, James, and Tabitha not being here or it is a huge coincidence for them to send a monster out just as when we are about to leave". Eldon said to them.
Prince Alveno shrugs as he looks at Roxy. "Roxy, it will be you to lead the team in this battle since Leon and James are not here". Prince Alveno said to them.
The teens frowns as they realize that they can't help Tabitha. "This really sucks. We can't even help Leon and James get Tabitha back since they decided to send another monster here". Blaise said to them as he is annoyed by it.
Eldon shakes his head as he looks at Blaise. "We have to make the best of it Blaise". Eldon said to Blaise.
Twyla nods as she agrees with Eldon. "Plus the other mission is deeply rooted for Leon and James". Twyla said to them.
Lexi nods as she thinks about it. "Besides they will find a way to get Tabitha back". Lexi said to them.
Roxy nods as she looks at them. "Let's go guys", Roxy said to them as they head towards their battle.
Back at the park in Aurora Cove, Cirukom and the monster (Tabitha) are making things harder for the rangers. "So where are your teammates Leon? I thought we will be getting back up from them". Verna asks them as she is getting annoyed by the Rampigs and the monsters.
Leon sighs as he just heard back from Prince Alveno. "Bad news, my teammates got called to a battle in Majestic Hills". Leon said to them.
"Ugly timing", Mari said to them as she is dodging Rampigs.
"It is rotten timing". James said to them. He is dodging some Rampigs as he returns fire at them.
Cirukom has an evil grin on his face. "Go my unloved pet, rip them to shreds". Cirukom said to the monster.
"Yes Master", the monster said to Cirukom.
The rangers frown as the monster is charging at them really fast. "Guys heads up, she is coming in very fast". Ash said to them.
"Right", the Rangers replies back to Ash.
The monster has its eyes on Mari first as it claws at her. Mari frowns as she tries to dodge it. "Please Tabitha, you got to fight it". Mari said to the monster.
The monster frowns as it missed hitting the white ranger. "Fight it haha, I am in control". The monster said to Mari as it kicks at her.
Mari lands on the ground as she tries to get back up. The monster fires a sticky web at her to keep in place. "Guys I can't move". Mari said to them.
The rangers frown as they realize that the monster is in full control. "I know that you guys don't want to hurt her, but she is in control of someone else". Aiden said to them.
"Aiden is right. We need to distract her while some of us fight Cirukom". Ash said to them.
The Rangers nod as they come up with a plan. "Your right about that Ash". Leon said to Ash.
Cirukom frowns as he sees the rangers coming up with a new plan. "So you decide to come and fight me now. You will regret on making that". Cirukom said to the rangers.
Cirukom fires his powers at the rangers. He is being trigger happy with them like it is at a rapid fire. The rangers frowns as they are dodging them.
"Geez this is guy really does not want to let up". Verna said to them.
"Yeah one false move and we could be in serious trouble". Liz said to them.
Kara nods as she looks at them. "I say we take this up a notch". Kara said to them.
Ash nods as he looks at his teammates. "Kara is right guys. Neo Defenders, Wizard and of Fairy Mode". Ash said to them.
"Neo Defenders Wizard Mode", Ash, Aiden, Harry, Will, Liz, Kara, Verna, and Kiki said in unison.
"Neo Defenders Fairy Mode", Daniel and Mel said in unison.
The rangers went into their Wizard or Fairy Mode as they are taking the battle to the next level.
Cirukom looks at them as he has an evil grin on his face. "You just made things a lot easier for me". Cirukom said to them.
Ash frowns as this is not good. "Why do you say that"? Ash asks Cirukom. Something in the hybrid's tone suggests something bad.
Cirukom looks at the rangers as he has his most power in his hands. "Because I can do this". Cirukom said to them. He throws power orbs at the rangers.
The rangers frown as the power orbs are coming at them. It hits a few of the rangers as they are sent to the ground. "Geez this creep won't quit". Kara said to them.
"I know but I hope that Leon and James can get through to Tabitha though". Will said to them.
Leon and James are fighting the monster as they are in a tough spot of their own. "Please Tabitha, we want to help you". Leon said to Tabitha.
"Yeah you got to fight it". James said to Tabitha.
The monster glares at them like she is deeply angry at them. "FIGHT IT, HAHAH, YOU ARE THE ONES THAT MADE YOUR PRECIOUS TABITHA SO ANGRY AND HEART BROKEN". The monster said to them. It fires beams at Leon and James.
Leon and James takes cover as they need to do something. "Leon, I hope you got some sort of idea to get through to her". James said to Leon.
Leon sighs as this is something he is not expecting to do. "I am thinking of something James. Ugh, I really need to find an inspiration to get through to her". Leon said to James.
Mel feels it in her heart as she looks at James and Leon. The ranger ghost of Oliver Shelby and Saint Francis appears to her. 'Mel, you need to explain to them that Tabitha needs to hear their deep apology for not properly explaining to her about being a family'. The ghost of Oliver Shelby said to Mel. Mel nods as she knows what to do. "Ok", Mel said to her ranger ancestor.
Aiden is also sensing something like the cheetah is there with him. Plus the ghost of Roxy Dennis Calvin Burrows is with him as well. 'Aiden, it is up to you to help them to get Tabitha about the acceptance of love. There is no doubt in my mind that she has never seen what love is truly like'. The ghost of Roxy Dennis Calvin Burrows said to Aiden.
Aiden nods as he has an idea. "Mel and Kiki come with me. We are going to help Leon and James". Aiden said to Mel and Kiki. Mel and Kiki nods as they follow Aiden.
"Ok", Kiki said to Aiden.
"Right", Mel said to Aiden.
Ash turns as he notices that Aiden has an idea. "I completely trust you on getting this done". Ash said to Aiden.
Aiden nods as Mel and Kiki went with him. "Thanks Ash", Aiden said to Ash.
Leon and James frowns as the brothers notices Aiden, Mel, and Kiki arriving to help them. "We really need to get through to Tabitha, but we are not sure how to do it". Leon said to them. "Yeah plus that thing really wants to take us out". James said to them.
Aiden nods as he looks at them. "You two got to get Tabitha to accept the love that you have for her". Aiden said to them.
Mel nods as she looks at them. "Plus you two got to get Tabitha to forgive the both of you for what two did that got her so angry and upset". Mel said to them.
Leon and James are stunned as they are confused by it. "Wait you want us to do what"? James asks them as this is not exactly the time to do it.
"Yeah I don't think that thing wants to hear anything we have to say". Leon said to them.
Kiki gives them a look as she slaps them in the face. "Listen here you two, Aiden and Mel's instructions are clear as the sun. Aiden's ranger ancestor power is about love conquering all. Mel's team power is about forgiveness to those that has hurt them the most. I am positive that Tabitha is somewhere in that monster trying to get out of its control. Are you two going to stand their dodging the monster's attack or are you got to fight that thing to get Tabitha back like a competent Ranger". Kiki said to them as she is knocking some sense into the two of them.
Leon and James are stunned as they look at Kiki. "I can understand why you and Tabi are related". James said to Kiki.
Leon nods as he looks at them. "Same here, plus I am starting to understand what needs to be done. You guys distract her while James, Kiki, and I will talk to her". Leon said to them.
"Right", Aiden and Mel said to Leon.
Aiden and Mel are distracting the monster as Leon, James, and Kiki are looking at the monster. "Tabitha listen to us please. We are here to help you to fight the evil control. My dad spent time trying to find you. He is your uncle. I do not agree on how your mom kept you from my family. My dad does care and love about you deeply enough to try to find you even when there were roadblocks. Please listen to us especially to Leon and James". Kiki said to the monster.
Mind Scape
Tabitha is struggling to get up as she is in a weird space. She hears Kiki's voice calling to her. As Kiki talks about her uncle, Tabitha never realized that her uncle tried his best to find her even though they have never truly met before.
"It is time for you to fight back against the evil control". A mysterious voice said to Tabitha.
Tabitha is stunned as she hears the voice. "What who said that"? Tabitha asks the mysterious voice.
Yoleidia appears as she has her morphor in her hands. Plus she also has the silver Neo Defender Power with it. "I did Tabitha. I am Yoleidia. I have chosen you to have the Silver Neo Defender Power". Yoleidia said to Tabitha.
Tabitha is deeply surprised by the revelation. "Me, I don't understand why I am chosen for this. Plus I can't even fight back against the control". Tabitha said to Yoleidia.
"Yes you can Tabitha. I have faith in you". The ghost of Terra Sloane Noble said to Tabitha.
Tabitha turns as she spots her ranger ancestor. "Terra", Tabitha said to Terra.
The ghost of Terra Sloane Noble has a window to see what's going on in the battle. Tabitha frowns as the monster is pummeling Kiki's team, and her teammates are trying to stop the monster. "You have to listen to what they have to say. The acceptance of their love and accepting their apology are keys to you to fight back". The ghost of Terra Sloane Noble said to Tabitha as she vanishes.
Tabitha is a bit confused about what Terra said to her. "Ok, I might as well listen to them". Tabitha said to herself.
Tabitha looks at the window as James went first. "Tabitha, please I know you are somewhere deep down in that monster. You are probably hurt, scared, and wondering how to escape from it. I love that you are a fighter. I love that you don't take crap from no one. Leon and I truly love and care about you. I know this is a huge adjustment from living on the streets to living at our house. We will get through the adjustments together. Plus you are not unloved because you are loved by so many people on the team and that includes Leon, me, Blaise, Twyla, Eldon, Roxy, Blake, Gabby, and Corrin. It does include Prince Alveno and Martin. Please let our love get through to you". James said to Tabitha.
Tabitha has tears in her eyes as she is deeply touched for the tomboyish young woman. "Tabi, James and I owe you an apology. We didn't fully explain to you that you are half sister. The way that we present it was wrong. We should have sit you down and fully explain it to you. The way that you found out wasn't the proper way to do it. You have every right to be mad at us for it. We want you to fight back and find it in your heart to forgive us please". Leon said to Tabitha.
Tabitha looks out of the window as she notices that the battle is getting bad to worse. She thinks about what Leon and James said to her. "They do truly love me. They are fighting that monster that has its hold over me. They have truly apologized to me for their actions. It is time for me to fight back. I may not have a strong sense of what love is, but I am willing to learn and accept what it is. I do forgive them and accept their apology. GET THIS THING OUT". Tabitha yells out loud as she is referring to the thorn on her neck.
Yoleidia looks at Tabitha as she nods to her. "Your acceptance of love and forgiveness towards your brothers are the keys to your power and strength". Yoleidia said to Tabitha as she hands her a special power.
Tabitha looks at the power as she is ready to fight back. "Thank you Yoleidia", Tabitha said to Yoleidia.
End Mind scape
Back in the battle, the battle is starting to look towards Cirukom's favor. "JUST GIVE UP RANGERS, my unloved pet will forever belongs to me". Cirukom said to the rangers.
Leon frowns as he glares at Cirukom. "We will not give up on Tabitha". Leon said to Cirukom.
James nods as he is just as angry like Leon is. "That's right, Tabitha is truly loved. There is nothing that will tell her otherwise". James said to Cirukom.
The monster turns as the thorn is showing on the back of her neck. "Guys help me get this stupid thorn out", the monster said to them as it is Tabitha's voice.
The rangers are stunned as they hear Tabitha's voice. "Did you guys hear that"? Mari asks them.
"I heard it with my two ears". Liz said to them.
The rangers realize that Tabitha is fighting it. "What ever you guys said to Tabitha is really working". Verna said to them.
Cirukom frowns as he notices that the thorn is showing. Plus the girl is fighting back. "NO MY PET SHOULD BE UNDER MY CONTROL". Cirukom yells at them. He fires his power orbs at the monster.
Ash frowns as he realizes that the battle needs to be finished. "Guys we need to give them cover now". Ash said to them.
The Neo Defenders Rangers nod as they plan to cover the monster that took over Tabitha. Kiki jumps on the monster. She grabs the thorn. "Tabitha is my cousin and family". Kiki yells out loud. Leon and James nod as they also jump in to grab the thorn. "We love and truly care about Tabitha like a true sister". Leon and James said out loud.
"I accept your apology and I know that you love me", the monster yells out loud as it is said with Tabitha's voice.
As Kiki, Leon, and James pulls the thorn out, the evil power that was controlling Tabitha is leaving her. Cirukom frowns as the rangers are turning the tables on him. "NO MY THORN", Cirukom yells at them.
"Your thorn will become ancient history". Ash said to them.
"Guys go for it", Aiden said to them.
"You got it", Kiki, Leon, and James said in unison as their powers and aura are covering them. They throw the thorn into the air.
"Neo Defender Wizard Power Fire", Kiki yells out loud.
"Phoenix Defender Beast Power", Leon yells out loud.
"Garuda Defender Beast Power", James yells out loud.
The three powers combined into one. They aim it at the thorn. The powers hit the thorn as it is destroyed. The monster that is controlling Tabitha is gone as she transforms back to her human form. Tabitha is in her pajamas as she has her morphor by her. "Hey you creep it is payback time, and I brought a new friend". Tabitha said to Cirukom as she is glowing in a silver color.
Cirukom frowns as his plans are going to fail. "WHAT", Cirukom said to Tabitha.
"Defender Beast, Execute the Silver Power", Tabitha yells out loud. She is morphing into a special ranger form.
Morphing Sequence
Tabitha has her normal Defender Beast Ranger suit. She has silver Neo Defender armor with silver trimming on her ranger suit. She has blue and silver fairy wings. It appears that the mermaid is evolving to become a fairy mermaid. Her helmet is blue and silver with the fairy mermaid symbol as the visor. Her trident is upgraded like it is a trident sword and shield. "Neo Defender Power of the Silver Fairy", Tabitha yells out loud in unison as she is in her new pose.
Leon and James are stunned as they have never seen anything like that before. "That is one awesome form". James said to Leon.
Leon nods as he looks at James. "Yeah this takes things to a whole other level". Leon said to them.
Ash looks at the newly morphed ranger. "It takes being a dual ranger to another level". Ash said to them.
Cirukom frowns as he is getting angry at the rangers. "You are supposed to be my unloved pet. You will be punished for that". Cirukom said to Tabitha. He throws a huge power orb at her.
As the power orb is coming at Tabitha, Tabitha uses her shield to block the orb. The rangers are in awe as the shield protected her in a big way. "Awesome, that shield is really strong". Harry said to them.
"I have to agree with you Harry". Will said to them.
Tabitha is glowing in a blue and silver aura power as she glares at Cirukom. "Your kind of evil and evil power will never be used to harm others". Tabitha said to Cirukom as she has her trident sword out.
The rangers are stunned as they are not expecting this especially Leon and James.
"Power of the Neo Defender Silver Fairy", Tabitha yells out loud as she has her sword out. She makes a circle around Cirukom as her silver power is effecting it in a huge way.
Cirukom frowns as the silver power is effecting it. It is breaking him down into the three monsters that was used to create Cirukom.
"Awesome her power changed Cirukom back into three monsters that was used to create Cirukom". Liz said to them.
"Yeah it would explain on how it was created and now it will be history". Kara said to them.
As Tabitha slashes at the three monsters, Cirukom is destroyed into a million pieces as it disintegrates into ash. "That creep has bit the dust". Tabitha said to them as the battle is over.
"I am glad that's over". Mari said to them.
"I have to agree with you on that Mari". Verna said to Mari.
Tabitha demorphs as she is tired and exhausted as she looks at them. "Guys, why am I in my pajamas"? Tabitha asks them as she is clearly running on fumes". Tabitha asks them.
The rangers are surprised as they look at Tabitha. "What's the last thing you remember anyways"? Daniel asks Tabitha.
Tabitha looks at them as she nods to them. "The last thing I remember was in the hallway of the apartment building. Leon and I were checking something out. I got hit by something like it stung me. After that, I don't remember much of anything". Tabitha said to them as she falls asleep.
Leon and James act quickly as they catch Tabitha. "It must have been that thorn that stung her". Mel said to them.
Kiki nods as the brothers catch Tabitha in time. "Yeah she was confused to find herself in pajamas". Kiki said to them.
Leon nods as he looks at them. "We should head back to your headquarters". Leon said to them. Ash nods as the team teleport back to the Cave.
Back at the Cave, Tabitha is in the med bay as the blue Wizard Powers from Ozford is healing her. Rory looks at the wizard. "How is she"? Rory asks Ozford.
Ozford looks at Rory as he nods to him. "She will be fine Rory. She just needs some rest. You should let her mentor know that she is safe and sound with us". Ozford said to Rory.
Rory nods as Leon and James walk in the room. "Melissa is contacting him now". Rory said to Ozford.
Ozford nods as he leaves the room. Leon looks at Rory as James is confused by it. "I just don't understand how Tabitha went so far underneath the cracks". James said to them.
Leon looks at James as he has the same question. "I know what you mean James". Leon said to them.
Rory looks at them as he nods to them. "You guys do need to work on your relationship with Tabitha. Plus when she comes too, don't overwhelm her with things". Rory said to them.
Leon and James nod as they plan to just that. Rory leaves the room as Leon and James sit with Tabitha.
In the main ops room, Melissa is on the computer as she is contacting Prince Alveno. "Greetings Melissa, how is Tabitha"? Prince Alveno asks Melissa.
"She is safe and sound at the Cave. Kiki, Leon, and James really got through to Tabitha and pulled out the thorn that was embedded in the back of her neck". Melissa said to Prince Alveno.
Prince Alveno sighs in relief as the Defender Beast Rangers just returned to the C3 after their victory. "That's good, I will send the rangers to the Cave to be reunited with her". Prince Alveno said to Melissa.
Melissa nods as she looks at Prince Alveno. "Alright, plus I am sending you the footage on what really happened in the battle". Melissa said to Prince Alveno as she sends the footage to him.
Prince Alveno notices the footage just arriving to his computer. "I just got it Melissa and I am instructing the others to head to the cave. They should be their very soon". Prince Alveno said to Melissa.
Melissa nods as she notices a group of teens arriving at the Cave. "They just arrived at the Cave, Prince Alveno". Melissa said to Prince Alveno.
Prince Alveno nods as he looks at Melissa. "Good let's talk again soon". Prince Alveno said to Melissa as the phone call ends.
The teens spot Lexi and the others. "We are sorry about not being able to help you guys get Tabitha back". Lexi said to them.
Ash shakes his head to them. "It is alright. A ranger emergency can come up at any time. The timing of them can always ruin things". Ash said to Lexi.
Leon nods as he looks at his team. "Was the problem in Majestic Hills very troublesome"? Leon asks Lexi.
"Yeah although Eliastro did show up but quickly left when he noticed that Tabitha was not there at the battle". Lexi said to them.
Leon sighs as he looks at them. "Well at least he didn't cause too much trouble". Leon said to them.
Eldon looks at Leon as they are concerned about Tabitha. "How is Tabitha"? Eldon asks Leon.
Leon nods as he looks at them. "She is asleep guys in the med bay. She will be fine". Leon said to them.
The Defender Beast teens sigh in relief. "Is it possible for us to see her"? Twyla asks Leon.
Leon nods as he looks at Twyla. "Yeah", Leon said to them. He gets his teammates to follow him to Tabitha.
In the med bay, James sighs as he spots the others coming in the room. Tabitha is still asleep as they spot her in bed. "Hey guys", James said to them.
"Geez that monster really picked her didn't it". Blaise said to them.
"I am wondering what happened in the battle". Blake said to them.
James looks at them as he nods to them. "A lot has happened in the battle Blake. Plus she really morphed into a special ranger form. It is something to be seen to believe". James said to them.
Lexi nods as she looks at them. "I am going to take your word for it". Lexi said to James.
Gabby nods as she looks at them. "Yeah I would like to see it in action". Gabby said to them.
Corrin nods as he as he sees Tabitha is coming around. "Yeah umm guys, she is waking up". Corrin said to them.
Tabitha opens her eyes as she spots her teammates. "Hey guys", Tabitha said to them.
James smiles as he looks at Tabitha. "I am glad that you are awake Tabitha". James said to them.
Tabitha nods as she looks at them. "Yeah I am glad that creep is gone. How much fussing I am in for from you guys especially from my newly discovered and starting to accept half brothers". Tabitha said to them.
Leon looks at Tabitha as he gives her a look. "Well, hopefully not too much fussing. We were deceived that a monster was in the area that didn't set the alarm off". Leon said to them.
Yoleidia appears to them as she has a happy look on her face. "The silver power is with its chosen one. It is time for me to find the gold power chosen one". Yoleidia said to them.
The Neo Defenders teens nod as they are wondering who it will go to. "Good luck", Kiki said to Yoleidia.
Yoleidia looks at them as she turns to Tabitha. "Tabitha, when the gold power is given to its chosen one, you and the chosen one will work together to use the power to its full potiental for when the situation calls for it". Yoleidia said to Tabitha.
As Tabitha nods Yoleidia vanishes from the Cave, the others are perplexed by it. "I am wondering what kind of situation calls for it". Lexi said to them.
Eldon nods as he looks at them. "I guess we will have to find out eventually". Eldon said to them. The teens are happy to get Tabitha back and partying at the Cave.
Ash looks at them as he turns to Tabitha. You know Tabitha your team may consider getting you a leash". Ash said to Tabitha.
Corrin has a perplex expression look on his face. "Why a leash Ash? She is not a puppy". Corrin said to Ash.
Ash looks at Corrin as he shrugs to him. "It is an old ranger saying for when a ranger is constantly being targeted to be kidnapped or when the ranger disappears mysteriously". Ash said to Corrin.
Gabby nods as she looks at Corrin. "That does make sense though". Gabby said to them.
Lexi nods as she looks at them. "Yeah although that other ranger form that we have heard about sounds really cool". Lexi said to Tabitha.
Eldon nods as he looks at them. "I will have to agree. It is like you got truly connected to your ranger ancestor.
Twyla nods as she thinks about something. "Yeah it makes me wonder if we got ranger ancestors as well". Twyla asks them as it is a fair question.
Roxy nods as she looks at them. "It is something to consider though". Roxy said to them.
Blaise nods as he thinks about it. "Yeah although it is something to to find out though. Then again, Tabitha might be the only one from our team that has a ranger ancestor". Blaise said to them.
Leon nods as he looks at them. His expression shows that he wants to change the subject to something serious. "Yeah, can you guys give James and I some time to talk to Tabitha alone". Leon said to them.
The two set of teens nod as they notice that Leon is being serious and needs the time.
Aiden nods as he looks at his teammates and the Defender Beast teens. "Sure, come on guys", Aiden said to them as the teens start to leave the room.
James nods as he looks at Kiki. "Actually can you also stay Kiki? After all you are family to Tabitha as well. Plus this involves you as well". James said to Kiki.
Kiki nods as she looks at James. "Of course, guys, I will be back". Kiki said to her teammates. The teens leave the room.
Tabitha looks at James, Leon, and Kiki as something tells her that it is a serious conversation. "What do you want to know exactly"? Tabitha asks them as she is wondering what it is about.
James looks at Tabi as he has that older brother look on his face. "We were worried about you Tabi. Plus you should come to us about what was bothering you and including the nightmares". James said to Tabitha.
Leon nods in agreement with James. "Yeah sis, plus we should have sit you down to explain to you about being related. Telling you the way we did was wrong". Leon said to Tabitha.
Kiki nods as she has a compassionate expression on her face. "Exactly, we want to know how you were so hidden for so long. My dad tried to find you even after Uncle David died. It was like you didn't want to be found or you simply fell through the deep cracks in the family and youth services". Kiki said to Tabitha.
Tabitha nods as she looks at them. "Well, my dad and I lived in the roughest part in town. The neighborhood was a seedy place. After the divorce, my dad took two- three jobs to make ends meet and put food on the table. We basically didn't have much. When ever my dad got extra money, he put it into me for a special fun day where it was to an amusement park or a special birthday present. We basically built an independent life style despite in the rough neighborhood. When the holidays came around, we really didn't have much for a fancy feast. We basically did the charity things and that was my Christmas present". Tabitha said to them as she reveals a bit about her past.
Leon looks at Tabitha as he realizes that Tabitha and her dad was one step down from living in poverty and being homeless. "You really didn't have much to go on basically". Leon said to Tabitha.
James sighs as he does feel bad for Tabitha. "Did you have any neighbors that looked after you when school got out for the day"? James asks Tabitha.
Tabitha shakes her head to James. "In the neighborhood that I grew up in no, most of the neighbors that we had were not very kind or trustworthy. The only person that came by was the landlord to the house. He only came by to pick up rent and nothing more". Tabitha said to James.
Kiki nods as she feels bad for her cousin. "So hardly anyone else comes to your home for visitors". Kiki said to Tabitha.
Tabitha nods as she looks at them. "Pretty much except when my dad died". Tabitha said to them.
Leon looks at Tabitha as this is the first time that she talked about her dad in deeper detail. "What happened when your dad died"? Leon asks Tabitha.
Tabitha sighs as she looks at them. "It was a Friday afternoon. I just home from school. I got my homework done and waiting for my dad to get home. As it got close to 7:00 pm, a coworker of my dad's came over. He told me that there was an accident just outside of the his work place. He brought me to the hospital. That's when the doctors told me my dad died on impact. The driver of the other car was drunk and distracted. He was arrested for it. My dad's conworkers felt bad for me and pretty much arranged the funeral. The funeral was basically me and my dad co workers. Mother dearest never showed up to it. After the funeral, I went back to that apartment. I basically knew that I couldn't stay there. Plus rent was due very soon. I basically packed up my stuff and took the remaining cash that my dad placed in a safe place. My dad never got a checking account at a bank or trust banks for that matter. I left the apartment for good and start living on the streets". Tabitha said to them.
James is stunned as he looks at Tabitha. "So CPS never took you in foster care after your dad died". James said to Tabitha.
Tabitha shakes her head to James."No, at the apartment complex that my dad and I lived in often get police presence. About a month before my dad died, police and CPS was called to the apartment building. My dad and I witnessed a kid from a neighboring apartment being removed from the mother's custody and care. The mother was being arrested for drug charges. The girl was upset and didn't want to be separated from her mom and pretty much clinged to her. It was a heart breaking scene and I asked my dad when we can move from this neighborhood. My dad told me that it might be another year. When I saw it go down, I made the decision not to get myself with them". Tabitha said to them.
Kiki looks down on herself as she turns to Tabitha. "No one should ever see things like that". Kiki said to them.
Leon nods as he looks at Tabitha. "Yeah it sounds like you fell through the cracks so deeply that you made it impossible to get caught by CPS". Leon said to Tabitha.
James nods as he thinks about the crazy woman that set up those traps in the slum area. "Yeah it would explain why that Brianna went so far just to catch you.
Tabitha nods as she does remember her. "She was the one that removed that kid from her mother before my dad died. She looked so familiar to me so much". Tabitha said to them.
Kiki knows about that woman from the news article. "She didn't let up to find you". Kiki said to Tabitha.
Tabitha looks at Kiki as she nods to her. "No, when I started living on the streets, it was hard at first. I met a man named Kevin. He showed me the ropes about living on the streets. He taught me hold to fight and fencing. He looked out for me. When she was on the prowl in the area, he made sure I got to a different area. He was like a father figure for me. He made sure that she was off of my trail. He passed away about a year ago". Tabitha said to them.
Leon is surprised as he learns where she learned how to fight. "Woah, you basically learned a lot from him". Leon said to Tabitha.
Tabitha nods as she looks at them. "Yeah pretty much", Tabitha said to them.
James looks at Tabitha as he realizes that she had someone to look out for her. "You must miss him don't you". James said to Tabitha.
Tabitha nods as she looks at them. "Yeah I am starting to know what love truly is. Plus I am starting to accept you two as my brothers. There is so much that I truly don't know about like mother dearest. Did she really didn't know about my dad died? If she did, then why she never came back to get me? It would confirm about her completely abandoning me and the reasons why she didn't want any of my other extended relatives to meet me or even to raise me. Plus if she did know about my dad died, then where was she when the funeral took place. Plus does grandfather want anything to do with me or what"? Tabitha asks them.
Kiki nods as she looks at Tabitha. "I am sure you get your questions answered eventually". Kiki said to Tabitha. Leon and James nods as they look at Tabitha.
As the three of them share a happy family hug, things are starting to look up for Tabitha. She has a smile on her face as she is starting to understand what having actual family members is truly like.
