On the other side of the forest the rangers were at the location for either the aqua energem or the Ankylozord. However when they got there things made a turn for the worst. One of Sledge's monsters was there along with some vivixs. There was a big hole in the middle of the battle field. Down there was either the energem or the zord. Right now they had to handle the situation before they did anything.
'You'll get a kick out of fight me!' Stingray said
He kicked Chase down to the ground.
'See! There you go!'
Stingray started to walk away.
'Don't let him get away! He might have the energem!' Chase yelled
'I'm on it!' Tyler said
Tyler ran after Stingray. Riley checked to see if the monster had the energem. Results from his Dino Com said there was no energem signature.
'No sign of an energem!' Riley yelled
Tyler was getting his butt kicked by Stingray when he heard that.
'There may not be an energem but I left a little something for you anyway!' Stingray said
He thew Tyler down and now it was Koda's turn to fight.
'My turn!' Koda said
He threw a kick towards Stingray but he dodged it.
'Not bad ranger! But not good enough!'
He threw Koda up in the air and shot something on his back. Koda then landed on the ground in pain.
'Get the point?'
'What did you do to him?' Tyler yelled
Tyler, Chase, and Riley ran up to Koda to see if he was okay. However Koda starting attacking them. The three quickly dodged his attacks.
'Bye! Bye! Have fun fighting your friend!' Stingray said
Stingray walked away while the rangers fought each other.
'Not cool man!' Riley said
'Koda! Stop!' Tyler yelled
Koda flipped Riley over and under and threw Tyler up in the air. Chase made an effort to try and catch Tyler but Tyler landed on his back. Shelby then joined the fight only to be knocked down again. Riley tried to calm Koda down but that wasn't doing much. Suddenly an energy ball struck the ground and knocked everyone down. When at first glance they saw their friend. Tris had shown up. But something was different to them. She seemed more bravery and had more determination like ever before. Koda stood up and he was pissed.
'Koda! Don't make me fight you!' Tris yelled
Koda ran towards Tris. Ran to grab her but she did a jump flip into the air and landed on the ground avoiding the attack. Tris then waved her hands and did a water attack on Koda. The other four were surprised.
'Since when can Tris fight like us?' Chase asked
'I have no idea.' Tyler said
Tris ran towards Koda and did a low kick to knock him down. Koda grabbed Tris' leg and flipped her down.
'Tris!' everyone yelled
Koda went for a Tris when grabbed Koda and wrestled him to the ground. Tris saw something on Koda's back. It must have been whats causing him to fight.
'On his back!' Tris yelled
Everyone got up and ran towards Tris and Koda. The guys help hold Koda while Shelby took the stinger out. Suddenly Koda stopped jerking and saw everyone on him.
'Koda are you alright?' Chase asked
'Yes. I'm okay. Why you all hug me?' Koda asked
Everyone got up and everyone looked at Tris.
'What?' Tris asked
'Where have you've been?' Shelby asked
'Why didn't you go back to the base with us?' Riley asked
'How can you fight like that?' Chase asked
Tris looked down and remember the last thing Troy said. She knew she couldn't tell anyone.
'I can't tell you guys.' Tris said
'Why not?' Shelby asked
'I just can't. But I'm fine and everything is under control.'
Suddenly a loud bang was heard and something was coming out of the ground. It was some type of animal or machine. When taking a better look Shelby realized what it was.
'It's the Ankylozord!' Shelby said
'Wow!' Tris said
'That is one angry zord!' Riley said
'Look powerful!' Koda said
The Ankylozord then raised its hammer tail and slammed it down towards the teens. Everyone got out of the way in time before being flattened. Then it dug right back down the hole. Everyone looked scared and confused.
'Something is not right.' Tris said
'Yeah. Why would it attack us?' Shelby said
~Princess of the Earth~
Back at the base everyone was seated around each other. While Kendall was looking over the data from the E-Tracer. Adora was in the corner staring at her daughter in anger. Tris would have to deal with her soon.
'The Ankolozord is awake. That means the aqua energem bonded to someone.' Riley said
'You mean theres an Aqua Power Ranger out there?' Shelby said
'That is correct but he may not know we exist. Or may have chosen for some reason not to join us yet. What is important now is the Ankolozord. It shares the aqua energem's power and would not normally attack us.' Keeper said
Koda then looks at the stinger that was on his back. He pointed at it while standing up.
'Maybe monster sting word. Like it sting me.' Koda said
'That would explain it.' Tyler said
'Well if so then we need to remove the stinger.' Riley said
'Good luck. Did you see the size of that thing?' Chase said
Shelby thought it over and she knew what she had to do. She got up from her chair.
'I'll do it.' Shelby said
'No way! It's too dangerous!' Tyler said
'Are you crazy, Shelby? That thing will destroy you on site!' Tris said
'Someone has to do it. Besides its my stupid E-Tracer that somehow screwed up and gave away the zord's location to Sledge.'
'Actually your device worked brilliantly. Sledge got the location of the zord because I didn't encrypt the E-Tracer's code. It's my fault we lost control of the Ankolozord. Somehow I'll find a solution.' Kendall said
Kendall walked away and left everyone at the base. Shelby feeling bad for her went after Kendall. Tyler wanted to go but Tris grabbed his arm.
'It's best you leave it to them.' Tris said
'I know. It's just I'm worried.' Tyler said
'So are we but we need to be around just incase something happens.'
'What is this 'we' you're speaking of, Beatrice?' Adora said
Adora walked over to her daughter. Stood right in between Tris and Tyler.
'You know what I mean. We need to be on guard just in case…' Tris said
'No the rangers need to be on guard. You need to keep on training and staying out of danger.' Adora said
'Mom! Are you still serious about that. I can take care of myself.' Tris said
Chase came in between the two ladies to settle the situation.
'Ms. Valerio. I'm not here to take sides but Tris can really fight for herself.' Chase said
'He's right. You should have seen the way she fought out there today.' Riley said
'She save my life.' Koda said
'It's not about that. It's about our enemies going after the Sage Stone.' Adora said
'What about it? I can protect it and use its powers to fight.' Tris said
'Beatrice. They can still take it away. The only way they can is by killing you.'
Everyone looked at Adora in shocked. None more shocked than Tris was. Keeper walked up to Tris.
'Tris it's the same with the energems. The only way the powers can be taken away if by surrendering them or someone killing you.' Keeper said
'None of you thought to tell me this like I don't when I bonded with it?!' Tris yelled
'There were many times I wanted to but I was trying to protect you.' Adora said
'Protect me from what? From endless battles or possibly my own death?'
Tris pulled out the brooch that kept some of the Sage Stone crystals together. She looked at it with anger and suddenly ran out of the base.
'Tris wait!' Adora yelled
'Tris!'
~Princess of the Earth~
Tris kept on running and running through the forest. She fell over a hill and rolled down it. She then laid on the ground crying. Tris never thought she would sign her own death warrant. She looked at the brooch.
'This stone is the reason the royal family is dead and because of it history is trying to repeat itself. Maybe its best if this was destroyed. No one would be hurt and there would be peace.' Tris whispered
She took the pieces out of the brooch and stood on top of a stone. She was about to smash them into pieces when she heard a voice. She stopped in midair and ran towards the screams. She hid behind a tree and saw Kendall defending herself against vivix. She was easily knocked over by Stingray. Tris froze she wanted to go save her but thought of what was said hours before. She knew enemies would be after the Sage Stone and try to kill her as well. However she started to have flashbacks…
'I hope you'll enjoy working here and I thank you for kindness.' Kendall said
'It was nothing. Just doing my job.' Tris said
'No the way you act I can tell you put others before yourself. I'm glad to have you as a member here.
Then she started to have flashbacks of her friends. Her new friends she cherished so dearly…
'What are you doing?' Shelby asked
'I'm not going to let you get in trouble alone. So I'll be here to keep an eye out for you.' Tris said
'Now who's the troublemaker?'
And another…
'A Sciz?' three rangers and Beatrice said
They looked at Chase with utter confusion.
'You made that up didn't you?' Tris asked
'Agh…Sometimes I wonder if I'm speaking english to you guys.' Chase said
And another…
'Tris thank you. You're a great friend and mentor.' Riley said
'Thank you and thank you for being my friend too.' Tris said
Tris knew she had fears. One was death. The other one was losing the ones she loved. Her mom, friends, and mentors. Not to mention other rangers out there. There to guide her and stand beside her. She took a step out and looked at her brooch.
'I know I'm afraid of dying but I know I don't want to lose anyone I care about. Someone has to fight and save the world along side the rangers. I'm that one.' Tris said
She ran towards Kendall and kneeled beside her.
'Tris! What are you doing here?' Kendall said
'Never mind that! I'm here to help.' Tris said
'How?'
She smiled at Kendall and then stood up to protect her from the monsters.
'Little missy came all by herself.' Stingray said
'Not so smart of you.' Curio said
'Wrong! It's not smart to attack my boss and mentor when she can't defend herself. As for the rest you are going to regret every meeting me.' Tris yelled
She pulled out her brooch and looked at it and remembered what Troy said…
'When the time is right shout out the call and you'll transform.' Troy said
'Which is what?' Tris asked
'You'll know soon enough.'
She lifted her brooch to the sky and knew the words she had to say.
'Terra Nova! Sage Powers Awaken!' Tris yelled
A bright light blinded Kendall and the monsters in front of them. Tris then began transforming into a fighter. Her outfit was a green jump suit with a skirt attached to it. Attached to the skirt was a belt with a sword. She had gloves on with a communicator on her left wrist. Green fancy boots on her feet. Her hair became a solid black color and the top of her forehead was the Earth Terra symbol. The light disappeared revealing Tris a fighting warrior.
'Impossible!' Posandra said
'What in the world?' Curio said
'Who are you?' Stingray said
'I am the warrior of the Earth. I fight to protect peace, love, and virtue. I banish any wrong doers who threaten the Earth. I am Terra Nova! Tris yelled
'Terra Nova?' Kendall said
'Leave now or you'll regret coming to Earth!'
'You think some girl with a big sword can stop us?' Vivix get her!'
The vivix ran towards her and Tris raised up her hand. The vivix stopped in their tracks. They were frozen.
'What are you doing?' Stingray yelled
'They stuck!' Curio said
'Let's see what you guys are like without your weapons.' Tris said
Tris raised her other hand and caused the vivix weapons to fly up into the air. She clenched her fist and destroyed them.
'This isn't good!' Stingray said
'You got that right! Now you deal with me!' Tris said
Tris ran towards Stingray and began to fight him while Kendall was watching in shock.
'A solider of the Earth?' Kendall said
