Chapter 12: Face to face part 2.

Chelbell2016:

And another chapter gone.

*Kick into overdrive*

Courtney's POV:

I stare around at all the lava lizards. Yep I would need Ty's help to take this lot on. I turn to look at him.

"Think you're well enough to fight?" I ask him.

"Ha these creeps," he says glancing around at them. "Watch me."

He runs forward and I smile before following him.

I block one and then turn to kick another. I jump at one and throw it to the ground before rolling back to my feet. I then turn and kick one that was trying to sneak up on me before grabbing another's wrist. I flip him to the ground.

I then blast the last one. I watch as Tyzonn is backed into a tree before turning into some sort of silver liquid and appearing on the other side of them. My mouth drops open.

"Huh interesting!" Tyzonn says staring at his hands. "Nice to know not everything's changed."

"Okay," I begin making him turn to me. "I don't know what you just did. But it was impressive."

Tyzonn jumps into the air and multi kicks all the monsters. I am really impressed.

I wave my arms and two that had been coming at me are raised into the air. I then slam back down hard. I use my sonic scream and a few others go flying into the air.

"Huh now I'm impressed!" Tyzonn says and I smile at him.

We decide to go for a walk and he tells me about himself. He is a mercurian.

"Let's rewind here," I say curiously. "You can turn to silver?"

"Mercury," he corrects me in a soft voice.

"I see," I say. "So you come from a reptilian race that can liquidize into mercury at will. That makes sense."

"I'm not a reptile," he says stopping me from going any further.

"Sorry," I say to him. "It's just the scales. Plus I've known all sorts of people. Troblins and elves nothing is far fetched for me."

"I'm sorry," he says sounding sincere.

"Listen," I begin wanting to know everything. "If I'm gonna trust you I'm gonna need to know the whole story," I turn off my tracker so the others cannot find me. "You have my full attention."

"I don't even know where to start," Tyzonn begins looking down.

I reach for the piece of his jewel in my pocket and hold it out in front of him. "Why don't you start with this?"

He gasps when he sees what I am holding.

*Kick into overdrive*

Tyzonn brings out the rest of the jewel. It seems to make some sort of round crystal.

"This is the only thing I brought with me from my home planet," he explains to me.

I am a little confused now.

"So if you're not here for the jewels of the corona," I begin as he turns to me. "Why are you here?"

I place the piece of jewel I have in his hand with the rest.

He begins to tell me his story.

"I came here in search of something more important to me than any jewel. But my search was cut short. By Moltor. He wanted me to join his army and when I refused he became angry. He fired at me and this jewel which once belonged in a band on my wrist landed next to me. Moltor even though I yelled at him not to smashed it. I was distraught. I told him that I would make him regret breaking what belonged to me. We began to fight. But Moltor was so powerful he knocked me to the ground. I quickly got to my feet but it was at that moment he shot lightning at me. My whole body was filled with pain. I screamed. I then changed into the monster you see before you now. I demanded to know what he had done to me and I called him a monster and he showed me a mirror. I was appalled. I was the monster now. He told me if I do as he wants he will change me back. I had no choice. I knew the beast I had become would be shunned on your planet. And now that I've betrayed Moltor... I'm doomed to live in this body forever."

"Hey we got a state of the art technology center," I point out to him racing over to where he is. "Maybe there's something my dad and the other rangers can do to help."

"Your friends don't trust me," Tyzonn points out. "Why should they?"

"Because I do," I reassure him.

"Okay I'll go," he says walking now.

As he walks away I pull out my phone.

"Hello," my brother voice say.

"Hey it's Courtney," I say and he gives his hello. "What do you know about alien magic?"

We talk for a few seconds and then we head towards the mansion.

*Kick into overdrive*

"Hey guys," I say as I come into the command center with the map.

"See," Dax says running over to me. "I told you she'd come back."

"Yes and you were so sure I wasn't coming back you wanted my zord," I say slapping my friend round the head making him wince.

Tyzonn comes down behind me and the others reach for there trackers.

"Whoa!" Will says as Dax backs up. "How'd he get in here?"

"I let him in!" I say. "His name's Tyzonn he's a friend."

"I'm sorry about what happened before," Tyzonn says to the team. "Please forgive me. I never meant to hurt anyone."

The others consider him for a second.

Spencer enters as I turn to Mr. Hartford. "Look Mr. Hartford... he's going to help us find the diamond."

Spencer turns and glances at Tyzonn.

"Well what are we waiting for rangers?" Mr. Hartford says glancing up at me. "We've got the parchment back. Let's get to work."

"And nobody thought to tell me we were expecting a visitor?" Spencer says and I smile.

"This is Tyzonn," Ronny says as the others finally seem to except that Tyzonn is okay.

"Sir," Spencer says nodding his head at him.

"He's cool," Will says straightening up.

We are at the table as Rose tries to go through the map.

"Okay we think we translated a couple of these symbols," Rose points out. "Mountain and diamond."

"So we know were looking for the Toru diamond," Mack says from beside me.

"But we don't know what mountain," Will agrees. "It could be anywhere on earth."

"Would you care for some lemonade sir?" Spencer asks Tyzonn as he approaches him with a tray of lemonade.

"It's made from lemons," Rose explains rolling her eyes. "A citrus fruit we grow here on earth."

"Citrus," Tyzonn says picking up one of the glasses. "I know of this organic acid."

He pours it all over the parchment making us gasp in surprise.

"What are you doing?!" Both Will and Rose say.

But as the lemonade melts the map and Rose picks it it reveals numbers. "Wait you guys look."

"Numbers," Rose says.

"Of course," Will smiles. "The citric acid in the lemonade revealed the hidden information. Nice."

I smile and nod at Tyzonn.

"And this looks like Longitude and Latitude," Rose says as she reads the numbers before passing it to Ronny so both Ronny and Mr. Hartford can see.

"Maybe it's the location of the mountain we need to go to," Ronny suggests looking excited.

"It's gotta be it," Dax agrees.

"Way to go Ty!" Ronny says.

"Excellent," Mack says nodding his head at Tyzonn with a big grin.

"Okay rangers," Mr. Hartford says. "The S.H.A.R.C. is fueled up and ready to go."

We head for the door.

"Wait!" Tyzonn says and I turn around as he places a hand on my shoulder. "Take me with you maybe I can be of some use."

I look down before looking up. "I think there's room for one more. Come on!"

*Kick into overdrive*

We fly in the S.H.A.R.C to the area where we need to go.

"Well... this is the place," Rose informs us.

"Wouldn't you know it?" Ronny says with her hands on her hips. "More lava."

"We'll find a way to get the diamond out," Mack says and I nod my head in agreement.

"Let's go!" I say and we begin to move towards the volcano.

Before we get anywhere Bullox appears in front of us.

"We meet again Tyzonn!" He says to the alien stood besides me.

"You!" Tyzonn growls.

"Looks like the diamonds gonna have to wait," Will points out.

"READY?!" I ask.

"READY!"

"OVERDRIVE ACCELERATE!" We all say and morph into our ranger forms.

We all jump onto a cliff except for Tyzonn as Bullox growls at us.

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE!" I say doing my sign. "WHITE RANGER!"

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE!" Mack says next. "RED RANGER!"

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE! BLACK RANGER!"

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE! BLUE RANGER!"

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE! YELLOW RANGER!"

"KICK INTO OVERDRIVE! PINK RANGER!"

"CALL TO ADVENTURE!" We all yell together. "POWER RANGERS OPERATION OVERDRIVE!"

"GET THEM!" Bullox tells the Lava lizards.

We begin to fight them. I pull out my sword and shield and begin to cut through all of them. One manages to knock my sword out of my hand. I watch as it lands far from me. I turn and kick the lava away from me before jumping into the air and landing besides my sword. I grab it and continue to fight the lava lizards.

I watch as Tyzonn gets blasted to the ground by Bullox. He gets back to his feet but not long after hes back on the ground.

"TYZONN!" I yell worried.

All six of us rangers run to go help our new buddy.

Bullox blasts at us and I quickly raised a shield. But the force knocked us all to the ground. We are uninjured but the wind got knocked out of us.

"Stay out of this!" Tyzonn says fighting to get to his feet.

"You're nobody!" Bullox tells Tyzonn.

"No!" I groan when I see him raising his weapon at Tyzonn.

Tyzonn grabs his weapon and jumps at Bullox. He then sends a blast from his staff to Bullox. Smoke surrounds him and he goes rolling across the ground.

Tyzonn lands on one knee and I go running over to him. I pull him up.

"Hey," I say and he turns to look at me. "Are you okay?"

"Yes," he nods his head.

"All right!" I smile under my helmet as I hold my closed fist out to him. "How about we take him on together!"

He knocks his arm into mine before we join hands.

"Great idea!" He agrees.

"LET'S DO IT!" We both agree.

"This isn't over!" Bullox says as he stumbles over to face us.

He fires a blast at us but we dodge it as we continue to run towards him. It explodes behind us. As more and more blasts appear I pull my triassic sword out.

"TOGETHER!" I say as we cross swords.

We power them up and then strike Bullox together. He goes flying back.

"That got him!" Ronny says as the others join us and Tyzonn holds his chest.

"I guess so!" Mack agrees.

"All right!" Will nods.

We look up as we hear a screech and some sort of flying pterodactyls are coming at us. They are clearly Moltor's goons. They fire at us and we cry out as smoke appears around us.

"Excellent!" I hear Bullox say. "Now go to the crater and bring back the diamond!"

The Lavadactyls fly away from us.

"We got to get to that crater now!" Will says.

I have an idea so I pull out my tracker. "Mr. H please tell me it's ready."

He appears on my screen and speaks.

"This is no phoenix zord Courtney!" He says to me. "Here comes a new flying contraption for you!"

"All right!" I say before pressing the button on my tracker I haven't had to press yet. "Activate sonic streaker!"

I slide my tracker down my arm and wait for my zord. It barely takes any time to say how far away we are.

"Ha!" Ronny says as we all turn to it. "Now that's fast!"

"Come on Tyzonn!" I say as a new steering wheel pack comes to me.

I take Tyzonn's arm and we race off before jumping into my new zord. I place the console in the right place.

"COOL!" I say looking around at my new zord and placing my tracker in the console. "We're in!"

We fly after the Lavadactyls. I look at my targeting system and see that it has locked onto one.

"Yeah got em in my sight!" I say to Tyzonn before firing the lasers.

I destroy one but the other two are avoiding my blasts.

"HOLD ON!" I tell Tyzonn and when there about to blast me. "I don't think so!"

I then fly high towards the sun. This blinds the drivers of the Lavadactyls.

"GOTCHA!" I say flying back towards them and shooting at them again. I destroy the last two and we head for the mountain.

"Nice one!" Tyzonn says from behind me.

*Kick into overdrive*

"Almost there!" I tell Tyzonn as we get closer to the coordinates.

"Straight ahead," Tyzonn says as we are now in the volcano.

But even for me a fire ninja its a little hot. I set the plane further down and I can see what were looking for on a rock.

"Look! There it is!" I point out to Tyzonn. "Think those scales of yours can take the heat?"

"I'll try," he says heading for the door.

I lower him down by a cable as close as I can get to the jewel.

"Be careful Tyzonn," I tell him as he gets closer.

"I'm almost there! Come on!" Tyzonn says and then a second later. "YEAH! GOT IT!"

"Yeah!" I say as begin to pull him back up. "GREAT JOB!"

*Kick into overdrive*

I arrive where the others are fighting Bullox in there megazord. They are clearly struggling.

"Is that you Courtney?" Ronny asks and I love how a view screen appears and I can see the others in it.

"Yeah," I tell the team. "And we've got the Toru diamond."

"Great job everyone!" Mr. Hartford says. "Now combine the drivemax with the sonic streaker for some real high flying power! Let's put em together!"

I cannot wait to join the others as we all yell. "DRIVEMAX ULTRAZORD ACTIVATE!"

The megazord goes running forwards and I slot the sonic streaker onto the back where it clips in and there is now a new helmet for the megazord.

I take my console and hold it close as my seat slides down. I reappear in between Rose and Mack. I have the no. 7 on the front.

"Wow!" I say looking around.

"Well now we know who that spot was for!" Dax says laughing.

"DRIVEMAX ULTRAZORD ASSEMBLY COMPLETE!" We all say.

Our megazord flies once and then lands on the ground in front of Bullox.

"All right!" Mack says from besides me.

"Give me that diamond!" Bullox says trying to blast us but it doesn't make a dent and we blast him.

"CHARGE!" We all yell.

We strike Bullox with the drill driver. He then head-buts us. We then knock him to the ground with another strike and he roars at us.

"YEAH!" I say before we take to the air.

We go racing towards Bullox and at the same time charge our zords to maximum.

We then fire at him and he blows up.

*Kick into overdrive*

We arrive back at the command center and Tyzonn asks can he give the jewel to Mr. Hartford which I decide is a good idea. We watch as he holds it out to him.

"For you," he says.

As he passes the Jewel to Mr. Hartford it shrinks down into the diamond.

"Thank you Tyzonn," Mr. Hartford says.

"I was happy to help," Tyzonn says bowing his head.

He puts it with the other jewel.

"Now there's two jewels that won't fall into the wrong hands," Mr. Hartford says proudly. "I'm proud of you rangers."

"And I know that together you can find the others," Tyzonn says to all of us.

There is a familiar flash.

"Sentinel knight?" Rose says shocked that he has appeared.

"Power rangers," Sentinel knight says. "You're proving to be a formidable team. I wish to thank you for your courage and commend you for finding two of the jewels."

"We wouldn't have found the second Jewel if it wasn't for our friend Tyzonn," Mack states the obvious.

"Ah the young mercurian," Sentinel knight says as he glances at Tyzonn. "I know of your most unfortunate story."

"With all due respect Mr. Knight," Dax says and we all turn to look at him. "You're all magical and mystical... Isn't there something you can do to help him?"

"I do not possess that kind of power," Sentinel knight explains. "But you know someone and possess something that does."

Rose is first to figure it out.

"The Jewels and you Courtney," she says and I look around at her.

"Yes Rose," Sentinel knight says. "The combined power of these two jewels of the corona aurora can cause a catastrophe or a miracle."

"And we're here to make sure it's the later," my brothers voice says as he enters the command center. "Hello everyone."

"Bowen," I say hugging my brother tightly.

"Hey sis," he says as I release him. "Ready?"

I nod. "I hope you don't mind Mr. Hartford I called Bowen and asked him to help me."

"Good thinking," Mr. Hartford says. "And your family is always welcome."

We both walk over to the jewels and link hands above them. Our magic mixes together and we glow orange and red. Then I raise my hand and point it at Tyzonn while Bowen points his at the jewels. The magic passes through the jewels through him and into me. I send it to Tyzonn and concentrate on what I want it to do.

A few seconds later and Tyzonn is transformed into a man with blonde hair and a strange shade of blue almost Grey eyes. I am so happy that he is now human.

Everyone laughs and Tyzonn looks happy.

"WOW!" Mack says as Bowen and I release each others hand. "It worked!"

We walk Tyzonn back towards the entrance.

"This has been an incredible experience," he tells all of us. "And I thank you all for your help but now I must go."

"Tyzonn," Mr. Hartford begins. "You heard the sentinel knight. We've got a long way to go. Why don't you stay and work with us?"

When he answers I can sense some hidden secret about why he won't join us.

"I can't," he says shaking his head. "Just as you have your mission I have my own. Goodbye."

He goes to walk out.

"Hey I almost forgot!" I say and he stops and turns back to me.

I grab his now fixed jewel out of my pocket and hold it out for him.

"My crystal!" He says clearly shocked.

"Yeah," I say smiling. "I told you we were high-tech huh?"

"Oh yes," Spencer says and I turn and look at him. "Behold the technological marvel known as glue."

I fight a laugh as I turn back to Tyzonn.

Tyzonn places it back in his wrist band.

"All the same thanks for your help Courtney," Tyzonn says holding out his hand which I shake. "Good luck on your mission."

"Yeah," I agree patting him on the shoulder. "Good luck on yours buddy."

I glance back and nod at Mr. Hartford as Tyzonn leaves.
