Lauren Shiba may have been many things, but one thing she was , unprepared.
She stepped outside of her house ! She had returned home From the Yokai attack with Dayu in tow to plan their next move only to find most of the town missing , Lauren and Dayu walked down the street of Angel Grove , Lauren noticed something strange about the town she was hardly ever around so never really took the time to notice the town but most of the buildings and houses were boarded up and looked like they were abandoned so quite some time.
" Thats weird " Lauren said "This town is small dock town it should be bustling but its not it looks like its abandoned " Dayu said looking around " We have to be careful" Lauren said, Dayu nodded , there were drag marks on the ground, " Did the Yokai ones get them" Lauren said looking down at the marks.
Lauren and Dayu suddenly footsteps appraoching , As they came closer, Lauren moved and peered . And that was when she saw who was making the footsteps. It was a group of putties " Putties" Dayu said " Putties? As in Rita and Zedd?,
"why are they here ?" Lauren asked as they ducked down behind some barrels , the Putties looked around making their weird noises Before moving on.
BBBOOOOOOOM! a putty suddenly came flying past smacking into a wall . " what the hell " , Lauren said as suddenly more Putties came flying past her smacking into each other , Lauren then saw who had attacked the putties it was Dayu, she had attacked destroying the putties who burst into clay pieces " What are they doing here? " Lauren said as Jedite sauntered up " oh ah oh bring the prisoners" he said.
"Prisoners?" Dayu said joining Lauren watching as the Cedals brought L.T. Stone to him. "You wot get away with this, the power rangers will stop you " L.T. Stone said as he was dropped in front of Jedite " oh ah oh im gonna make a monster out of you" Jedite one said squirting Stone with some red liquid .
L.T. Stone screamed in pain as he started to change his limbs turned black, transforming into a Cedal.
" What the fuck " Lauren said gasping, " This is not right " Dayu said " Your fucking right its not right " Lauren said " Then do something about it " Dayu said , neither of them noticing something moving behind and past them .
Lauren stood up " Oh its you" Jedite said " Your really annoying " Lauren said " Oh ah Oh show me what you got " Jedite said "Gladly... ITS MORPHIN TIME" Lauren yelled as her body was bathed in a pillar of red light, " Lets go red, attack! " Jedite said the Cedals charged at Lauren , causing sparks of lighting to flash as they made contact with her blade , Jedite sent more and more Cedals at Lauren, however Lauren knew she couldn't destroy the Cedals cause they the townspeople.
The battle raged when BOOM!, Jedite struck Lauren hard causing sparks to fly and knocking her backwards.
Lauren weakly pulled herself up for what seemed like the billionth time. Her body was battered and bruised. Her suit was torn in various spots and helmet's visor was cracked with a large chunk missing. She was sure her lung was punctured and she could tell some her bones were broken and she could taste her own blood. But still barely able to breath her limbs shaking she got up. Lauren then drew her blade only to have it destroyed and be knocked to the ground before getting a shot off. But once again Lauren rose this time only to have the same process be repeated , Lauren once more pulled herself up this time only making it to one knee.
"Poor Red ranger. Why don't you just lay down and die," Jedite said. "You first," Lauren spat. "Brave words from some one at death's door. Tell me why do you let your stupid pride drive you," Jedite said.
"See that's where you're wrong. Its honor, loyalty and love that drives me. I promised to fight until my last breath. That's what keeps getting me up. That's why I refuse to give in once a ranger..." Lauren said.
" And that's what's going to end you Vorpl blade!," Jedite said as he prepared to charge. Off in the distance Lauren could hear the something coming, " Shadow slash," Jedite said as a blinding crimson light exploded.
Lauren watched as in disbelief as Jedite's body slumped to the to the ground in what seemed like slow motion as Jedite faded away. Lauren looked to see a figure, it was Dayu " You saved me" Lauren said " You need help" Dayu said, Lauren looked around the Cedals were gone, suddenly her and Dayu began to fade away.
