Disclaimer: Unfortunately no one in this story is mine…except for Arix, Aria, the dead wife and child and future characters that I might possibly add. But for now…I own those dead people and the kitty…. And the HOTTIE!!!
A/N: Personally, I loved Arix's electrical attack. I really don't know what to call it but I thought it was really cool. I am going to attempt to draw it. He he ^_^ But I love this chapter the best so far. I have a pic of him that I drew…although its anime its still pretty cool
Both Tommy and Arix arrive back at the command center. They approach Zordon and Alpha all hyped up about Arix's attack. Tommy walked up first. "Alpha you should have seen Arix. That electrical attack was the best. How'd you do that?" asked Tommy as he turned back to Arix.
Arix looked up from the floor after being in deep thought. He realizes how much Tommy is bragging and started to blush. "Ah…that was nothing. It's all about balancing your inner ki and shoving it forward. You learn that kind of stuff on Eltar. I learned it so I could defend my fami-l-y…" Arix stopped speaking. His eyes returned to the floor. A deep depression engulfed his presence.
Tommy looked at him worried he said something wrong. "Arix what's the matter?" asked Tommy as he put his hand on Arix's shoulder. A tear slowly formed in Arix's eye and began to stream down his face.
Moments later streams of light flashed. The rest of the rangers replaced them. "What happened in the park Tommy?" asked Billy. Arix and Tommy looked up at them. Tommy removed his hand from Arix's shoulder. "We were attacked by a bunch of putties. I beat some up and then the other two ran off like the cowards they are and then Arix…man you should have seen him. He had this one electrical attack that probably had enough power to knock out the whole army," explained Tommy.
Arix paid no attention to his little story. He started walking past them. Aisha noticed something was disturbing him. She grabbed his hand as he walked by. She started to walk with him. Adam turned around and noticed the two of them leaving. Aisha turned around and lifted her finger to her lips. "Shhh…we are going to go outside and talk." she whispered to Adam.
They walked outside of the power chamber. All around was nothing but dirt. Mountains of dirt and rock are all that surrounded the power chamber for miles. They sat on the edge of the cliff and swung their legs freely over the side. Aisha looked up into his eyes. "I saw the same depression in the juice bar. You want to talk about it?" she carefully examined.
Arix shifted a little. He returned the gaze. "I really don't want to talk about it. But I know that if I don't I will be hearing everyone bugging me for the rest of my stay here." said Arix holding back a little laugh. "Yeah and you know I will be on your butt the whole time. Look at me now. I couldn't help but worry when you seemed disturbed at the health center and when I saw you now…I felt the need to cheer you up."
Arix looked out into the open. He started remembering everything that happened. "Well do you have a while?" She giggled. "I have until 8 tonight…c'mon its story time." Arix looked at her. "Well ok if you say so…be warned…it's not a happy one."
Aisha turned her whole body and faced Arix. He began his story. "It was about a century or two ago…I was in the middle of training. All male Eltarians had to learn to use their power. To defend themselves and more importantly their family. Well one day, I was running home to see my wife. I had been improving more than any one on Eltar. Everyone assumed it was because my father was the all mighty Zordon. That day I was allowed to go home early from training. I ran as fast as I could to see her. On the way home she starts talking to me telepathically. She was panicking. It seemed like she was in labor. Yeah…I was going to be a father and I was going to see the birth of my daughter. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. But obviously it wasn't fast enough. When I got to my house Ivan Ooze was there…holding my baby upside down. I am guessing she was just born because her cord was still attached and she wasn't cleaned. I looked to his left and noticed my wife was dead. I was about to charge at him when he…he…killed my daughter right there in front of me. I began to get really angry. With all the power and everything I had in me I destroyed every evil presence within the galaxy. But unfortunately Ivan Ooze had escaped the blast…I don't know how…but he did." He looked down at his hands. They were fiddling with is belt. Aisha took one of his hands and squeezed it. She looked down at his belt and noticed it was extremely fury. It was odd but she didn't care to ask him about something as stupid as that at a delicate time like this.
In the command center the rangers had already asked what was bugging Arix. Zordon had been telling them the same story. Zordon was not there when the incident occurred but did something about it. Tommy looked up at Zordon. "That must be awful. I can't even begin to think of how much sadness he is going through right now. More than me… I will go out to him. He is probably spilling his guts to Aisha anyway," he said as he turned around walking towards the door.
Aisha put her arms around his waist. She leaned onto his shoulder and hugged him. He leaned on her head and continued with the story. "The thing that really gets me is that I was not able to get him but my fathers power rangers could. Later on, Ivan Ooze was tracked down and trapped into an egg. Which was buried here on earth. Recently I had been spying on a bunch of evil monsters. They had said that their master on earth was going to open that egg. I felt compelled to be here to stop it. I didn't want what happened to me happen to somebody else. Aisha?" he stopped and looked down at her. She heard him call her name and looked up at him. "Yes Arix?" "Thanks for listening. I feel so much better!" She smiled and looked back out to the desert. "Your welcome. That is what I am here for." she said feeling something spasm around his waist.
Aisha jumped back all wide-eyed. "Arix what the hell was that?" He looked down at where she felt the spasm. "Was that my little Aria?" She looked at him confused. "Who's Aria?" He lifted his cub back out of his pocket she had been leaning on. "This is Aria. Was it her you felt move?" Aisha shook her head. "No…it was higher than that. Right around here." she said as she pointed at the spot.
Tommy opened the door to the outside. He saw Aisha a little freaked out at Arix. "What's going on Aisha?" he asked laughing at her. "He had a spasm…it just felt weird. I thought it was his tiger cub but it was higher than that." Arix looked down at where she was pointing and knew what she was talking about.
Arix stood up. "Guys, I just realized what she is freaking out about. If I show you do you promise not to laugh? Or be scared? Or anything really?" he said laughing. Both Aisha and Tommy nodded and waited in anticipation as to what he was showing them. Arix took off his black trench coat and laid it on the ground. Then he put down Aria and looked back up at Aisha and Tommy. "Ok…be ready," he giggled.
Arix looked down at his belt. It started to unravel by itself. Aisha and Tommy went wide-eyed. When it was done unraveling it went behind Arix. "So…what do you think?" asked Arix as he turned around to reveal an adorable brown tail that was longer than he was. He seemed a little proud of it for some reason. "Arix? Wha…WOW! That is really cool!" said Tommy. Aisha was speechless. "I…well…its different." she said managing to not be scared. "C'mon lets show everyone else."
Arix picked up his coat and put it on. He then put Aria back into her beloved pocket to sleep. They all ran into the command center dragging Arix. "Guys look, Arix has a tail." Every one turned around. "WOW! That's cool. Where did that come from I didn't see that a minute ago." stated Adam. Arix turned his attention to Adam. "Well young one, I had it wrapped around my waist and made it seemed like a had a real tacky belt on. Impressed?" explained Arix. "Yeah I think that is a really neat idea. But…" said Adam interrupted by alarms.
Arix started flipping out. "What the hell is that noise?" asked a frightened Arix. "Its our alarms. It lets us know if Rita or any other villain is attacking," explained Kimberly. "Alpha who is it?" asked Tommy. "Ay yi yi yi…it's Rita herself. She is speaking to us. Observe the viewing globe." They all look at the viewing globe to listen to what she has to say.
Zordon I know who has just paid you a little visit. Just to let you know he is mine to. If I don't get to talk to him I will destroy your precious Angel Grove. The viewing globe went black. Arix shook his head laughing. "Oh well…talk to you guys later." said Arix. He began to spin around in a circle. He spun around 180 degrees when he vanished into thin air.
Seconds later Arix started to appear spinning around the other 180 degrees to finish the circle. Finally he was in full view. "Mother dear…how are you my evilness?" asked Arix bending down to one knee picking his mothers hand up and kissing it. Arix rose again. A puzzled look came across his face. "Mother…I must ask you a question. Why is it that you're trying to release Ivan Ooze? You know he killed your daughter in-law and your granddaughter right?" Rita looks at her semi-evil son. "Yes I do…but I was thinking he could help me in my evil plans." Arix shifts in his standing position. "And what would that be, Mother?" Rita looks up at her son. "I am not telling you. Your just going to tell your little power pukes everything and then the plan will be ruined." Arix rolled his eyes. "Mother don't be stupid. You know I wouldn't do that to you." Rita went wide-eyed. "Don't you dare call me stupid or talk back." Rita began to lift her hand up to slap her son. The Rangers teleported behind them. "Stop, Rita." said Tommy. Arix turned around to see them all standing there. Rita grabbed her son on the shoulder. Arix looked at her mother shocked. "Later, Rangers!" screamed Rita. Arix quickly looked at the others. "Rangers…. Help!" pleaded Arix knowing his mother wasn't up to any good. He reached out for the Rangers just as they vanished. The rangers jumped towards them. "Arix!" screamed Aisha.
