Lauren was doing her nightly patrols. She been having some problems with the SPD. They hated her since I got them all in trouble with the media. It turned into a domino effect leading to the arrest of over 100 SPD officers from 20 different planets. Damn near got the Supreme Commander involved but he was let off. Lauren doubt's Krueger was connected though. Her Ranger powers helps her strength, agility, and speed. Lauren suddenly heard a couple arguing loud late at night. Some neighbor was calling complaining about the noise. Such a waste of a Ranger's ability, a domestic dispute.
Lauren walked up and there was a man yelling up at the bedroom window as a woman was throwing his cloths and what looked like video cassettes and CDs out. So cliché.
"Just open the door and let's talk," the man yelled!
"No," she screamed as she sat on the window sill throwing out a box that opened up in mid air and a bunch of magazines fell out. "I'm tired of hearing the same excuses from you!"
Lauren walked up and glanced at one of the magazines and broken video cassettes on the ground. They were porn. The man looked at Lauren as she came up to him. He looked confused and upset.
"Who are you suppose to be," he asked with a sarcastic tone.
"What's going on," She asked. "It's like 3 in the morning and you guys are screaming."
"She found my porn collection and is freaking out," he said lowering his head in embarrassment.
Lauren was surprised. She was expecting cheating, sleeping around. Lauren was half waiting for her to throw some bitch out next. Lauren looked up and now joined the screaming match. But when Lauren yelled no one would be sleeping for sure.
"Seriously," Lauren yelled up at the girl who was now looking embarrassed herself. "Porn? People are going to go to work tomorrow without their 8 hours of sleep because you're dumb enough to be shocked your husband…"
"Um boyfriend," The man corrected her.
"I dont care. Your boyfriend watches porn," Ahe continued. "Get your stupid ass down here and let him in."
Before anyone could react there was a loud BOOM! Followed by what felt like a violent Earthquake. The man next to me was knocked to the ground and the woman in the window lost her balance and fell out the window. Lauren managed to maintain her footing allowing her catch the woman before she hit the ground.
Laure looked around seeing smoke in the distance.
Someone near by said , "I saw it fall over there by the Farm area.
-Two days later-
Despite being alone, Lauren had always enjoyed summer. It did not last very long in Silver Hills, so she cherished every day of it. At the moment, the sun's rays shone over Silver Hills Memorial Park. Clad in a red and white, shortsleeve shirt and jeans, Lauren sat , surrounded by papers; she was researching the so called meteor crash. Lauren looked up from her work seeing the other momo rangers except for Dayu. She got up and walked over to them. Sounds of birds chirping and people out in the main town area floated through the window. A wave of warm air washed over Lauren.
" Hey guys " Lauren said " What brings you here?" She asked " We heard about the meteor crash and came to see if we could help, can we join you?" Kong said " Sure let me get my stuff " Lauren said heading back over to her work.
A few hours later. A red pickup truck made its way down the dirt road. They made their way down past the farmer's home and stopped near the cornfield. The rangers stepped out.
"We should only be here a short time," Lauren said.
Salem got out and started to walk towards the cornfield. He beckoned to the other rangers.
"This way."
The three of them followed Salem through the numerous, still-growing stalks of corn until they came to a large, circular clearing. Kong looked down at the ground, and saw that the stalks in the area had been flattened, yet each one was still perfectly intact; they had not been broken at all. Lauren noticed the look of curiosity on Kong's face.
"Strange, isn't it? This is just one area, I've been finding other clearings just like this one.
The four of them walked further, leaving the main clearing and moving through a small path of more flattened stalks. At the end, it led out into another clearing, not quite as large as the first.
"At first I thought it was all just some damn troublemaking kids" Salem said "but I didn't find any footprints other than my own out here. There's no way these things are gonna grow anymore." He continued
Daniel surveyed the clearing, then looked back at the small path they had just come from.
"Give me a moment."
With that Daniel morphed activating his animal power and flew into the sky. From his elevated position, Daniel was able to look down on the entire field and see the clearings from the air. There was seven circles in total. The largest circle was in the center of the cornfield, with six smaller ones around it. Two were on top, two were on the bottom, and two more were on either side of the center circle, on the left and right. Each small circle was connected to the large one via a path of flattened stalks, like the one The rangers had just walked through. Whoever had made these patterns must have had knowledge of geometry; each small circle was the exact same size, and the paths on the top and bottom of the large circle formed an exact 33-degree angle.
Daniel then landed the ground. Once he demorphed he informed the others..
"This is all very odd, but why do i feel like the middle circle is hiding something " Lauren said.
"There is...one more thing I found " Daniel said.
In the space of a single night, all of The farms cows had been slaughtered. Each one was missing their entire set of internal organs; brain, heart, lungs, liver, everything. Even their eyes and tongues were gone. Every cow had also been completely drained of blood. However, other than that there wasn't a single scratch anywhere on the carcasses. Someone, or something, had somehow managed to remove all of that without making a single cut. It wasn't until after Lauren sliced open a cow's chest that they could even see it was missing its innards. At least the missing organs made it easier for the carcasses to be disposed of, there was less to burn to ashes and bury and a massive hole in the centre circle. Salem looked up at the sky It was starting to get cloudy, and what had been a bright summer day was now shadowy and ominous.
"I have a very bad feeling about all of this " Kong said.
" Not to mention we are a ranger down" Lauren added.
