Chapter - The questions that remained unanswered!
The red and gold rangers were back to back while fighting against the gobots and a rhino-bull hybrid humanoid monster. There were some civilians running here and there while the monster was causing earthquakes with powerful strikes of its' leg and was throwing big boulders here and there.
"Ok Corrin!" Red rangers said as he used his katana to slice two gobots into half, "We first have to take the citizens out of here."
"Its' not important here I guess" Corrin said in a low tone and rushed towards the main monster.
"CORRIN" the red ranger shouted but then sighed in disappointment and ran to help the citizens.
The other side, a group off gobots had surrounded the gold ranger restricting him from approaching the monster.
"You will regret this" gold ranger said.
The gold ranger kicked two and slashed four using his twin blades to clear a pathway back and jumped back so as to face the full group together. Then he glowed a little then in a rush he ran into the gobots; slashing through them multiple time like a ninja and at last a gold Yali formed and destroyed the whole group of gobots. When it ended the gobot group get destroyed with a blast.
"Oh! Now you wish you had not messed with me." Gold ranger remarked sarcastically while heading towards the main monster.
The gold ranger pushed a button on his weapon and the blades turned into a handle and the chain extended with weight at the end to form a weight chain.
Meanwhile, Red ranger had his katana and occasionally shoots fireball at the gobots to make a pathway for the civilians to run to safety. After the last civilian had left for safety the red ranger looked around and saw the gold ranger fighting with the monster.
The gold ranger swung his weight- chain at the monster which the monster dodged several times and catch at the end, punching him in stomach and then trying to choke his neck with the chain. Some fireballs then hit the monster loosening his grip on gold ranger. Gold ranger taking the opportunity draws his twin blade and double slashed the monster sending him back while red ranger jumped over of gold ranger with burning katana, slashing the monster to destroy it.
Suddenly everything changed to graphical look and then disappear revealing the C3 practice room while the red and gold ranger demorphed.
"Corrin, I know you are way better in fighting but we are here to protect people and it's our priority" Leon kinda scolded the gold ranger.
"Leon there is no point in this. We are in a war and the best way to win is to defeat our enemy. In a war you can't save everyone and war needs sacrifices." Corrin protested.
"Corrin, we are here to save people and our planet and not in a war" Leon replied.
"Leon! You have no idea who we are up against. You have no idea what he can do. What he can snatch from you and then there will be nothing to protect" Corrin shouted in anger.
"Corrin " Leon shouted back, "If we be like you are doing then there will be left nothing to save."
Corrin had that angry and non-understand look on his face, "Yeah!-Yeah!, I think I need some fresh air"
"Corrin"
Corrin left even though Leon tried to stop him. What was left in the room was Leon with a disappointing look on his face.
"So, how did the new holographic traini.. ..." Lexi said as she saw Corrin coming out of the room as she entered the practice room while Corrin left without even greeting, " Woah! Guess things heated up between you two."
"It's nothing." Leon covered for this, "he just was not feeling good and needed some fresh air."
"So how are you and James now?" Lexi asked, "I mean meeting with evil turned good ghost haunting."
Flashback-
The rangers return from a tough battle. "Man Eliastro really didn't see that one coming with your newly silver power Tabi". Eldon said to Tabi.
Lexi nods as she looks at Tabi. "Yeah I have a new power buddy in a way". Lexi said to Tabi.
Roxy looks at Leon and James as they are deeply bothered by something. "Hey what's wrong? You look like something is bothering the two of you". Roxy said to Leon and James.
Leon looks at them as James nod to him. "We might as well tell them Leon". James said to them.
"Ok what's going on with you two"? Blake asks them.
Leon nods as he takes a deep breath. "It is like someone or some ghost is trying to communicate with James and me. It kept saying listen to my message Love Ones of the Branded Scarred Blue". Leon said to them.
James nods as he looks at them. "Yeah it is like that thing knows something that we don't". James said to them.
The gang looks at each other as they notice the lights are flickering in a strange way. Plus they notice the words 'Love Ones of the Branded Scarred Blue Ranger' on the wall.
Prince Alveno and Martin walk in as they are seeing this. "What's going on rangers"? Prince Alveno said to them.
"We got a strange visitor". Leon said to them.
"I am more than a strange visitor Power Rangers". The ghost said to them as he appears to them.
Martin looks at the ghost as Prince Alveno gives it a look. "Leave this place at once". Prince Alveno said to the ghost.
The ghost looks at Prince Alveno as he shakes his head to them. "My message on how to defeat Xolicernic must be told to them mentor". The ghost said to Prince Alveno.
The gang is stunned as they hear it. "Hold on there is a way to defeat that creep once and for all"? Gabby asks the ghost.
The ghost nods as he looks at them. "Yes, I am the Ghost of Christopher Askew. It is my evil form that has caused so much pain, chaos, and trouble for the rangers in the past and present. For a very long time, I have been earthbound to capture the remaining Xolicernic spirit. You see when an evil being split himself, it is impossible to deal him away into the Book of Jesse. Plus when each evil split is destroyed, the evil spirit of the split form remains. This spirit can find a new host to take over. I have spent the last 155 years trying to capture the evil spirits of Xolicernic". The ghost of Christopher Askew said to them.
The gang is stunned as they look at the ghost. "That is a long time to go to capture the evil spirits of Xolicernic". Twyla said to the ghost.
The Ghost of Christopher Askew nods as he looks at them. "In order to defeat the third split of Xolicernic, the ones that were branded has to accept on how they got branded. The loved ones of the branded has to fight along side them against Xolicernic. Once the Angel of the Balance of Vaules hear their acceptance on how it happened, her healing light will permanently heal them and the branding scar will disappear forever. The final battle against the final form of Xolicernic will be coming soon rangers. The secret on how the branding scar hurts you when a new person gets one lies with the Diablo Virus". The ghost of Christopher Askew said to them as he vanishes from C3.
The gang is confused by it as they look at Leon, James, and Tabitha. "Umm any ideas on what he meant by the virus"? Blaise asks them. "No clue, I am more confused about this angel. There is not an angel beast stone". Corrin said to them.
Tabitha frowns as she is getting frustrated about it. "Accepting about how I got tortured by that creep is going to be an extremely tall order. I need to do some research about this". Tabitha said to them as she leaves the C3.
The teens frown as they are getting concerned about her. "Is she going to be ok"? Eldon asks them.
Leon looks at them as he shrugs to them. "I hope she will be ok. Remember, she got attacked twice by that creep. Plus the first time he attempted to give her the branding scar, Brandon was there to knock that drone out of there. The second time, Tabitha wasn't as lucky as he brought that partner of his. We don't even know who he or she is". Leon said to them.
Lexi looks at them as she remembers about something. "I think I know what the partner is". Lexi said to them.
The gang looks at Lexi as they are surprised by it. "Are you sure about this"? James asks Lexi.
Lexi nods as she looks at James. "I am sure about this. Aloora told me that it is a Music Fairy, but she does not know why it is with an evil being like Xolicernic". Lexi said to them.
The gang look at each other as they realize that Lexi is on to something. "I think we all need to do more research about this". Eldon said to them.
Prince Alveno nods as he plans to contact Rory and Melissa. "Eldon is right Rangers. All of you should head home". Prince Alveno said to them. As the teens leave C3, Prince Alveno is stumped by it.
Martin looks at Prince Alveno. "Prince, do you know how many teams that Xolicernic has effected"? Martin asks Prince Alveno.
Prince Alveno looks at Martin as he shakes his head. "No, that's why I am going to contact Rory about this. He may have some insight about this Music Fairy as well". Prince Alveno said to Martin as he plans to do just that.
Flashback end-
"Oh! We didn't get another visit by Christopher's Ghost after that." Leon replied.
"Leon, I was wondering about Arustar and Skulker" Lexi talked her concern, "I mean, they are not out for too long now. Could there be something big going on that would be a great threat for us."
"I don't know Lexi but I do feel thinks being too big than they appear to be." Leon answered.
Meanwhile the rest of the rangers and Prince Alveno were near riverside in forest enjoying the day off. It was Leon's call that he wanted to check the new holographic practice area and Corrin joined him while Lexi left after sometime that she wants to read some old text from Gordola as asked by Aloora.
"So you got the opportunity to visit the Great Library, base of Lore keepers" Blake said as the girls except Twyla were sitting by the rocks near the bank of the river.
"Yeah and then a hybrid monster attacked us" Tabitha told them as she remembered her solo adventure with the Neo Defender rangers .
"Roxy! Is there something on your mind?" Gabby questioned as she noticed Roxy to be oddly quite.
"I was wondering about the prophecy of royal trio that we got our hand on that day" Roxy replied.
Tabitha's attention was caught by this as she has something related to this going on in her mind too, but before anyone could talk on the topic Eldon and James picked up Roxy and Tabitha respectively and dropped them into water.
"We are on holiday sis. Lets enjoy it" Eldon commented as he and James laughed.
"James!" Tabitha said with a mischievous smile as she rushed towards James and James too run away from her laughing.
"Dude make sure she would not catch you otherwise you are gone" Eldon said but just then he was pulled from behind into the water.
"You should care about yourself first" Roxy commented with a pitty look on her face as all of them laughed.
"Hey! Anyone had seen Blaise, Roxy and Prince Alveno?" Gabby asked.
"Oh they are at the waterfall nearby" Eldon said as he with Roxy came out of the water.
"I was wondering why he took them there. I mean he looked serious about something" Roxy added.
At the waterfall, around the same time, Prince Alveno, Blaise and Twyla were doing some meditation, sitting under the waterfall. Just then Blaise stepped out frustrated.
"I see no point in doing this. It is just a waste of time" Blaise said, "Instead I should be with Leon and Corrin testing the newest training facilities."
"Blaise! I am your mentor so just have faith in me. What I am doing here is for your and team's benefit" Prince Alveno replied, " so get back where you left."
"But why are we doing this Prince Alveno?" Twyla asked, "What's the point in this?"
"This is to strengthen your mind so that you could be able to harness the full power within yourself" Prince Alveno replied. 'I am sorry that I lied to you but the truth is this is all for getting away from the chaos powers of yours' Prince Alveno thought to himself.
At the Zuthora base, the evil gang was there discussing their moves and planning the next attack.
"So the process for their transformation is about to over" Trakken said.
"Yes and as this will be over the rangers will be facing the 'THE PHANTOM TRIO'" Eliastro commented with a grin.
"I am more interested in going up against that gold ranger and beating him to death so that I can survive" Sam said as he was a little tensed.
"Same goes for the silver one from my side" Silvia said.
"Killing that gold ranger will do fine for me. I just hate that light that arose seeing him..." Naiaden said, "I though think black ranger was the perfect vessel though.."
"I think I need your strength Silvia and Sam so it will be gold and silver rangers who will die first" Zuthora replied.
"And what's the big plan you two have to get rid of the two?" Eliastro asked Sam and Silvia.
"We have guests to help us in this." Sam said with a grin as he looked towards Silvia who in return nodded.
"I seek your presence Hunter and Hypnotect" Silvia replied.
Entering the room were two metallic humanoid creatures one of whom was like a mixture of shark, eagle and lion with metallic coverings. His legs were of lions with metallic guards, chest and fins of shark and face was like an eagle with same shaped visor. Other was more robotic than the first one and had hypnotic circles on his whole body.
"What are these two capable of?" Zuthora asked.
"That will be soon known to all of us as well as the rangers." Sam replied.
"Hypnotect it's time that you start with your work" Silvia ordered as Hypnotect left.
Lexi was still indulge with the testaments from Gordola when his hands get on a prophecy.
"what is this prophecy about?" Lexi thought to herself, "'The Decisive prophecy', Now what's this...
When the new defence will rise on a distant planet
And royal trio will come together
The chaos will break on the team
And everything will be disbalanced
A point of time will come
That will decide the future timeline
Royal trio will face a fate where
One will betray, one will breakdown and one will die
It's then upto three wizard / fairies defender
To put everything on right
But if they fail, the world will die."
Author's Note: Firstly sorry for not updating for so long. Actually my laptop had got major issues that took time to resolve. When I got my laptop back it was time for the college to start and as you all know how much the starting days took of your time. Also there were some personal issues going on because of which I was not able to focus on writing. Now this being said let's come to the story. The chapter was changed by name than it originally was thought to be so as to be more fruitful. This was supposed to be a Corrin i.e. Gold ranger centric chapter but then I realise that it would be better to dedicate an arc for gold and silver rangers rather than two individual chapters and again the prophecy raises questions too. For now this is all I have. Until next time. Bye!
