Chapter 17 : When Anger Leads to Surprises

Back in Mariner Bay....

"Release my sister!" Ryan shouted to the group of droids surrounding his bound sister Dana. He was so full of anger that Zhane, who was standing behind him, didn't say a word in fear of further angering Ryan. "You'll be sorry you ever messed with my sister when I'm through with you!" Ryan continued his threats. The droids gathered together to prepare for a group attack.

Ryan grasped Dana's pink V-lancer tightly in his hands. If he had held on any tighter he probably would have crushed the thing. Without any warning Ryan lunged at the amassing group of mecha droids who didn't expect such an unpredictable and furious attack. Fueled by rage and anger, he took down each and every one of them, scattering multiple parts throughout the warehouse. His anger was so heavy that Zhane, who was still calmly standing there and watching, couldn't help but feel a little pity for the mindless droids. There was no doubt Zhane would have done the same for any of his friends or family, but this was certainly a slaughter and this much anger wasn't necessary.

Ryan finally calmed down when the last of the droids had finally fallen. His visor came off and he fell on his knees, breathing heavily. Sweat filled his face and he looked exhausted. Zhane approached him slowly, feeling sure that Ryan had relieved himself of most of his anger.

"Have you calmed down yet?" he asked him.

"I'm sorry," Ryan said. "I don't know what got into me. There was so much anger building up inside of me. I- I couldn't control it. I just thought of what they could have done to Dana and I exploded."

"Speaking of Dana," Zhane interrupted. "I think we should check up on her."

"You're right," Ryan said, getting up and rushing over to his sister's side. He untied the chains that tied her hands together. Ryan saw that Dana's body was full of bruises and there was a big cut on her right arm. "What did they do to you...?" he wondered.

"We need to get her out of here and somewhere someone can help her," Zhane suggested, noticing that Dana was in pretty bad shape. A distinct beeping sound interrupted him, prompting him to activate his communicator. "Zhane here."

"Zhane, this is TJ," came the voice from the communicator. "What's going on there? We haven't heard from you in a while."

"We ran into some droids. Everything is fine now. We'll be heading back to Turtle Cove soon."

"That's a negative," TJ replied. "We are to meet in Silver Hills. The rangers of Aquitar have just arrived on earth to help. They are gathering rangers from all over the globe."

"But TJ, Dana is in need of medical attention."

"Bring her to Silver Hills. We can get her some help over there."

"You're definitely not going anywhere," someone or something interrupted Zhane and TJ's conversation. Zhane looked behind him and almost jumped back when he saw the tall figure of a mecha droid, twice the size of the others, towering over him. The droid was of a lighter golden color than the darker mecha droids and the material that made up his body seemed stronger than those of the droids. A large cannon-like weapon was held in his hand and pointed directly at Zhane.

"I'll come back to you later, TJ," Zhane said as discreetly as he could into the communicator. "We got something we need to take care of."

"Zhane, I think we need to take care of this guy before we go anywhere," Ryan said, firing multiple blasts with his Titanium Laser and distracting the droid's attention from Zhane. He was a little more cautious than the last time and careful not to let the anger take over him again. He fired again but the blasts were deflected by the droid's tough metallic armor. "You're not going to stop us! I'll destroy you for what you did to my sister!" he yelled.

The droid just seemed to ignore Ryan's threats and walked slowly towards him. Zhane and Ryan stood side by side with their weapons ready, but the droid's larger weapon was certainly more threatening than their smaller weapons. The droid stopped knelt down on one knee and charged up his weapon. Ryan and Zhane prepared themselves for the attack although they didn't know what to expect. A sphere of energy formed at the tip of the cannon and was fired at the two rangers. The two tried to escape its path but were struck by the massive blast of energy. A destructive explosion followed. It was so intense that the two of them lie on the floor, unable to move from the pain that plagued their bodies.

The droid made some sort of laughing noise as it made its approach at the two fallen rangers. He kept his weapon ready in case the rangers were to make any sudden movements.
His towering body stood over the rangers and he aimed his weapon at them, ready to fire again and making sure they would be weak enough not to escape his grasp.

But all of a sudden he stopped, dropped his weapon and fell slowly to the ground with a marvelous display of sparks escaping his back. Behind him, Dana stood with her V-lancer held in her hands. Sweat trickled down her forehead and she looked very weak. It must have taken her an excessive amount of energy to summon up the strength to make such a bold move. She collapsed on the ground soon after that.

"Dana!" Ryan said, struggling to get back on his feet. Zhane did the same. Luckily Dana had come along before the droid had taken them out with another blast from his weapon. The first attack didn't hurt them too badly but another attack would have certainly destroyed them. The two of them still had enough strength to stand up and Ryan rushed over to his sister's side and lifted her weakened body into his arms. "We need to get her some help fast!"

"Hold on to me and I'll teleport us out of here," Zhane said.

Ryan held on to Dana with one arm and held on to Zhane's shoulder with the other. He was really worried and had never been so scared in his entire life. He thought he would lose Dana if someone didn't do anything to help her. It was true that he had barely known Dana but she was still his sister and had grown to love over time. He hoped Zhane would get them to Silver Hills on time.

When they were all ready, Zhane activated his teleportation device and set his coordinates for Silver Hills. The name sounded interesting. A city named after him, he thought. He didn't know why the other rangers had chosen that city out of all the others. Every other city on earth had already been taken over or destroyed by Onslaught's seemingly unstoppable forces.
