I walk around the Animarium I was leaning against a tree thinking about how I felt like there was a dark cloud following me. I started feeling that after this was over I was going to end up sad and lonely again, vines wrapped around me and then shock me

"AWW!"

"That was Justin" as they ran to the area were they heard me scream

"Where is he?" Alyssa look frantically for me but the only thing she found was a note

"What's it say Alyssa?" as they all waited for her to speak

"They have Justin, they want Princess Shayla in exchange for him" I was tied to a post when I came to

"You'll never get her!"

"Yes we will, she'll come to save you"

"I wont let it happened!"

"Just how do you think you're going to stop us?" I tried to break free of the vines but to no avail

"What are we going to do Princess?"

"Were going to save him" I was a distraction for the real propose which was to awaken Zen-Aku. The Rangers and the Princess was standing in front of me

"Alyssa get her out of here!"

"No Justin this is her call"

"Princess please get out of here!"

"I'm sorry Justin, I can't lose another protector I can't handle it if you were lost to us, what about Alyssa she still needs you"

"Princess what about the greater good!" that stop her in her tracks I had to say something to keep her from getting any closer, I tried to stop her without hurting her as she started walking towards me

"What about Merrick Princess?" this stop her

"He'd want me to save you Justin"

"No he'd want you to be safe even at the cost of his life" it hurt me to say this to her but I had to, to keep her safe

"Guys I've got a plan" Cole said as the Rangers huddled

"Okay, Taylor we'll distract the Org long enough for you to cut Justin free" I had accomplished nothing, as Princess Shayla was mire inches from me.

"Princess please stop it's still not to late for you to go" she put her finger on my lips

"I've made my decision and it's final" as the Org grabbed her

"Can I say goodbye to him, please?"

"Okay but I'm warning you don't try anything" Princess Shayla was standing in front of me as she put her head on my shoulder what she had to say was for my ears only, as she softly whispered

"You're just like Merrick, you're strong and would sacrifice your self for me but I can't let it happen"

"Princess it has to happen, you must not fall into the hands of evil that was my job had if I need to sacrifice myself for that to happen I will, now please go back to the Rangers before it's to late" she finally understood what I was trying to do as she started back to the Ranger

"Not so fast" as the Org was going after her, it hadn't tied my feet down as I tripped the org as it ran past me

Chapter 7 I hope everyone likes it; the whole Cole/Taylor relationship will pick up more in a few chapters.
