Ranger Five POV

She walked aimless in the dessert heat, with a young cub by her side. Her mind, like her heart, had lost all its hopes and dreams. Lost the one person who seemed greater than life itself, now gone, his goodness surrounded by space and earth.

Her regret was that she had left him in the care of her other friends, people her parents wouldn't even remember. Their life in America forgotten, removed by the change in the timeline, when she chose to stay behind to help out with sick animals after her quest.

He had loved her like his own child, so how could she have left him like that, without a second thought. That's because you thought he would be there forever, her mind whispered. 

She had been planning to go back, for him. Since he was no longer there, what was the point? What was the point in any of this?

Tears blinded her, as she recalled the last time he had come this close to death. God, how bad it was then, she had felt fear ripping her apart, when they left on the journey to get the Great Power. Constantly wondering if they would make it back on time.

She was supposed to be fearless and unstoppable; clever and spirited. But neither applied today and now.

Her heart heavy with grief, she hardly heard her aunt call her. Just nodded, to let her know she was okay.  Mindlessly, she made her way to her room, where she could cry without raising eyebrows.

Once the door was closed, she fell on her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks like waterfalls. She didn't want this, any of this, that was what her heart told her, but her head ruled.

Her mind wandered to the way she had become a Ranger, right after the ninja finals...

She was trapped in a cave by a giant monkey called Goldar, when they refused him a stone snake was left with them. To her surprise it became alive, and had moved to her lap.  Gasping in shock, she wondered if it was poisonous. But before she knew what was happening, the Rangers had arrived, just in time.  But to her horror the Rangers were the high school kids she had just met. To the world they were heroes from another planet, faceless and powerful.

Not long after that, three of the Rangers were chosen to go to the peace conference. She was one of the three to take over the morphing Powers.

Over time, Zords were changed, after their encounter with Rito.

Her Zord was gone, destroyed by Rito. She was given a new one, Bear Ninja, and new powers. But it wasn't the same as calling the Griffin thunderzord. There had been times when she would try to call on her powers as Saber-toothed Tiger rather than Yellow Power Ranger. 

When Master Vile arrived, it ended her career as a Ranger. After being turned into a child, she passed her power on to another, without regret but now….

Pain and loneliness shot through her blood, not only for him, but also for the man she had fallen in love with, but he was someone else's white knight. She didn't stand a chance with him. Her giving up her powers was another reason to be away from him.

With so much time passed, she thought she would be over him, only to find that it wasn't the case. Her love burned strong each day for him, only now she didn't know whether he was married or not.

She looked up at the sky, now scattered with stars. Her face had dried, with only the stains of tears remaining.

"How could you leave?" she said, as a fresh round of tears sprang to her eyes. Why had he been the one to go, couldn't someone else have taken on the task of destroying themselves?

Whoever was responsible for this will pay dearly. That was one thing she knew.

Aisha Karen Campbell would one day revenge her father's death, in more ways than she counted on.

OK this one sucks, but hey, I've never seen any episodes with Aisha in them, even if I did…..well that was when I was 16…gasps in memory, oh well.

*throws her hands in the air*

Just do the normal review. Hate it; like it…just tell.
