PLEASE EXCUSE THE DELAY...LIFE HAPPENS... ANYWAY, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PARENTS...
"Eric... Eric please wake up," Taylor pleaded as she held her husband's head in her lap. Since they had been attacked, all the former rangers and their significant others had been thrown into two rooms.
Taylor, Eric, Wes, Jen, Cole, Alyssa, Tori, and Blake were in one, while Dustin, Marah, Cam, Laura, Shane, Kelly, Hunter, and Sarah, were in the other.
The rooms faced each other and were covered in thick, slimy green vines. There were no windows, and a lattice-like doorway that they could see into the other room through.
They all had taken a beating during their battle with the creature they now knew was Master Org. But the question remained... how did this happen?
Everyone was nursing their wounds as they had been for the past hour or so. Eric had yet to regain consciousness, Wes and Jen were both nursing cuts on their arms, Taylor, Alyssa, and Cole were all in a state of absolute shock, while Blake and Tori both had major bruises.
In the other room things weren't much better. Laura, Kelly, Marah, and Sarah were the best off. Cam, Hunter, Shane, and Dustin however were all suffering from lacerations on their arms and legs. Laura thoroughly checked them all out... she was a doctor.
"Why is this happening again?" Kelly questioned. "It doesn't make any sense."
Shane cracked his knuckles. "I don't know Kel."
"What about the kids?" Sarah asked.
At that everyone in both rooms went silent. The last thing they saw was Master Org turning towards the kids.
"If he lays one hand on my girls," Dustin said in anger.
They all heard some mild groaning from the other room.
"Eric?" Taylor pleaded. Eric's eyes slowly opened.
"Brady, Evie, Lindy," he said quickly as he sat up.
"Easy partner," Wes said as he lay him back down. Eric slowly submitted and closed his eyes again.
"Is he alright?" Cam asked from his side.
Jen slowly got up and walked over to him. "I think he's in shock," she said.
Laura stood up. "I wish I could get over there to check you all out," she said frustrated. "What does he want with us?!" she cried out.
"He doesn't want you guys," Cole said. "He wants us."
There was silence again before Hunter's anger got the better of him.
"Why? How could this have possibly happened? You guys destroyed him and now he's back?"
"Hunter stop it," Sarah said.
"He wants revenge..." Alyssa said sadly. "But you're right. It doesn't make any sense and I can't figure out how this could have happened."
"It's quite simple."
All the rangers turned their attention to the front of their cells. There in all his glory stood Master Org.
"You know, for a bunch of rangers I thought you'd be able to figure it out by now." He sauntered over to the cell where the former Wild Force Rangers were being held. "You destroyed me, yes, but it was only a matter of time before the human race erred.
"My life force was spread out over the land of Turtle cove when my heart was destroyed... waiting for something to rejuvenate them and make me whole once again. Thanks to you humans and your continued pollution of the earth, I have returned and will have my revenge."
The rangers all stood or sat in a state of pondering. It was Cole who finally pieced everything together.
"The toxin spill by the lake," he muttered.
"Excellent Red Ranger!" Master Org laughed. "It's a shame you can't stop me now from getting my revenge on you and the rest of you rangers for what you have done to me and those who share in my desires to rule this pathetic little planet."
Eric stumbled to his feet and leaned on Taylor. "And how exactly do you plan on doing that? Torture us?"
Master Org just laughed again. "Torture... oh yes Quantum Ranger."
"Master Org, if you want revenge on us, then take it and leave the rest of them alone," Alyssa said through her tears. She knew that Taylor and Cole shared the same thoughts, even if that meant never seeing any of their loved ones again.
Taylor stepped away from Eric and stood with her teammates. Cole held Alyssa tightly around her waist.
"Take us and let them go," he said.
"I'm afraid torture isn't that easy... I'm going to break you without even touching you... make you suffer slowly while I destroy the things you all hold so dear..."
Blake felt his entire body drain when he realized what he was getting at... Master Org was going after them... he was going after their children...
As if he was reading their minds, Master Org turned on his heals and began to walk away.
"You better pray for your children... the next time you see them will be at my feet."
Tori's anger consumed her and she charged at the vines blocking her from the creature. "You leave my kids alone!" she shouted as she touched the vines.
Faster than any of them could have comprehended, Tori was shot back from the vines in a flash of white light.
She hit the opposite wall and fell in a heap. Blake was immediately at her side. Her teammates in the other cell were desperately trying to get out and go over there, but they were helpless.
"Let that be a lesson to you all," the Org said as he left them.
The Rangers knew their children were in danger...but they also knew they wouldn't give up without a fight...
WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE ALL STILL WITH ME HERE... MASTER ORG'S GOING AFTER THE KIDS... WILL THEY FOLLOW IN THEIR PARENTS FOOTSTEPS? WILL THEY FIGURE OUT HOW THE ORG CAME TO BE? WHAT ROLE WILL SHAYLA PLAY IN ALL OF THIS? STAY TUNED...
