Chapter Nine: After The Battle
"WOOOOOOOO" Joel yelled. Chris jumped at the volume of the victory cry.
"Nice job Chris" Chad said.
"It was a team effort, excellent work guys." Chris said this made Dana smile. Chris sounded like Carter not wanting all the fame. They all left the zords after returning them to the cars. They demorphed as they walked over to the Humvee. Chris was very humble, now Joel on the other hand...
"Well you sure couldn't have done anything with out me." Joel said. Chris looked at him with a raised eyebrow climbing in the driver's seat. She then looked at Chad who just shrugged, Kelsey responded the same. After climbing in the front passenger seat Dana leaned over and whispered. "You get use to it."
Ryan and Joel climbed into the back seats and buckled in. Chris started the engine and started for the Aquabase. Dana telling Chris the quickest way to the base entrance. There was a somber moment as the Rangers passed the hospital that Carter was in. As the Rover approached the doors lifted and Chris drove strait on through the tunnels and to the lift where the Rover ascended upward towards the Transport Bay. After the lift settled the Rangers climbed out. Everyone congratulated Chris as she walked by. Chris was ready to find the nears closet and hide, she was not a fan of crowds.
'You will be fine.' She kept telling her self but still it was hard with so many people surrounding her. Finally after following the other Ranges to the Opps Center Chris was given room she released a low breath.
"An excellent job, for the first day." Captain Mitchell said, "But now Olympus knows you're apart of us and he won't make things easy on you nor will Queen Bansheera. Prepare your self for a hard fight."
As Captain Mitchell talked Chris stood silent and at attention her Air Force training had sunk in quite deep but she was still Christal Steele Smart Ass extraordinaire, just underneath only and able to keep it to her self.
'And I thought it would be easy. Heck this is nothing new' She thought as she listen something sparked within her. Something she hadn't had for a few years now. A spark had rekindled the fire that had once burned brightly in her soul.
"So are up to it? Do you want to defeat him." Captain Mitchell asked.
"Yes, Sir" Chris said and there was a rush of Salutes. In perfect form she saluted the Captain who returned the salute.
"Alright people lets get back to work. Dismissed." He ordered everyone went their separate ways.
