Kira eased herself into Conner's car and leaned against the seat. Conner
plopped down beside her in the driver's seat and turned the engine over. He
leaned over and kissed her cheek. She smiled and kissed him back. Conner
backed out of the parking space and sped out of the parking lot.
"Alright, so you're coming over right?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yeah defanility. Can we stop at my place first? I need to grab something." She said. Conner nodded and drove in the direction of her house. He pulled into the driveway and pulled the keys from the ignition.
"Want me to come in with you?" He asked. Kira nodded.
"That'd be nice." She replied. Both teens climbed from the red mustang and walked towards the house. Kira unlocked the door and went inside. The two walked into her house. As soon as she closed the door, she grabbed Connor and kissed him passionately. Connor returned the kiss with equal emotion. He pulled back a bit. "I thought you had to get something." He smiled. Kira grinned.
"I lied. Actually, the thought of making out while your twin brother was home didn't sound too romantic, I just didn't want to sound.... weird or whatever by saying anything." She laughed. Connor's smile widened. "Not a problem." He smiled. The two resumed kissing. "You want to come see my room?" She asked between kisses. Connor nodded.
"You are so dead." Ethan said in a low voice.
"It is payback time." "Yeah, you and what army?" His opponent scoffed.
"I'm so going to kick your butt again."
"We'll see about that." Ethan said. He moved the joystick of the computer rapidly, as did his opponent, but like the five rounds before, he lost. "Now, what was that?" Naomi smiled, putting the joystick down. Ethan glared at her. "How did you beat me at Space Warriors? That's like so my game!" He said.
"Well, when you don't have much of a social life in boarding school, you manage to perfect your warrior skills." Naomi shrugged.
"I can teach you some combos if you want." Ethan groaned. "No thanks, I want to keep some dignity in tacked." He said. Naomi laughed. Ethan groaned again and looked at his watch.
"Wanna go and hang out at the park?" He asked. Naomi checked the time.
"Actually, I'm supposed to be home soon anyways, so that'd maybe another time." She replied. Ethan nodded. Both teens stood and left Cyberspace, Naomi heading her house, Ethan for his.
"That girl..." Mesagog said, watching Naomi heading home.
"The rangers seemed to be quite taken by her." "Seems they're friends with the little twit, so what?" Elsa said, not getting the point. Mesagog turned and looked at her. "So what? You don't seem to get it. The rangers are little fools with pure hearts. They'll give anything for the ones they care for." Elsa got what he was saying, a smile creeping to her lips.
"So we use Mousy down there as a bargaining chip?" "Exactly."
Naomi was taking a short cut through the woods, admiring the environment when someone appeared before her. Naomi jumped back a bit and looked at the person. It was a woman, dressed in black, with black makeup.
"Hello, child." She said. "Uh.....Yeah........Hi......" Naomi said. "Didn't know this town had a heavy Goth populous."
"My name is Elsa. My master wishes for your presence." The woman said. Naomi's eyebrow rose. "Your master?" "Yes. You can come voluntarily or..." She smirked as Tyranodrones appeared behind her. Naomi recognized them from the day before. She ran away.
"After her!" Elsa bellowed. Naomi ran as fast as she could.
"Leave me alone!" She screamed. Ethan stopped in his tracks when he heard a voice like Elsa's bellow 'after her' and then heard Naomi scream.
"Aw man." He groaned. He found a deserted area and set his bag down.
"Hey guys, there's trouble, and I think backup might be needed." He said in his morpher/communicator. Connor and Kira were lying on her bed, in the middle of a heavy make out session when they heard Ethan on their communicators. Kira groaned as she rolled off of Connor. Connor raised his communicator to his mouth.
"We're on our way." He sighed. Naomi panted as she ran away from the Tyranodrones. She looked back to see if they were still behind her, sure enough they where. She wasn't looking where she was going, and tripped over an up risen root. She shrieked as she fell. She tried to get to her feet, but realized she had sprained her ankle.
"Aw, man, not good." She groaned. She pushed herself backwards on the ground as the Tyranodrones closed in on her.
"Leave me alone!" One reached down to grab her.
"NO!" She screamed. Suddenly lasers hit the 'drones. Naomi ducked away, afraid she was going to get hurt.
"What is it with you people, hurting innocent teenagers." Came a voice. Naomi looked up to see the blue, yellow and red rangers riding vehicles that looked like motorcycles. They went to her. The blue one hopped off his bike and went to her.
"Are you all right?" He asked.
"My ankle....I think I sprained it." She said. The other two began fighting the 'drones. Ethan helped Naomi to her feet. "I better get you to safety." He said. "You're not going anywhere." Elsa said as she swung at Ethan. Naomi shrieked. Ethan swung Naomi onto his left side, slightly dipping her, causing her to wrap her arms around his shoulders to hold on, as he kicked Elsa in the gut. Elsa doubled over but still went at him. Ethan brought Naomi back up and spun her away from him, still holding her hand as Elsa charged at them. He kicked Elsa again. He then swung Naomi to his right and delivered a double kick to Elsa in the chest, sending her sprawling on her back. "Dude, get her out of here, we'll hold off the drones." Connor yelled.
"Got it." Ethan said. He scooped Naomi in his arms and ran back to his bike. He sat her down and got on in front of her. He revved up the bike. He turned his head to the side to speak to her.
"I suggest you hold on, tightly." He said. Naomi nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing up against him. Ethan's head swam, but he quickly reminded himself that he had to get her to safety. he bike took off. Naomi held on to him as tight as she could. Ethan made the bike go in the air, going over the heads of some Tyranodrones. Naomi screamed. "Oh god!" She screamed. She buried her head in his back. "Just hold on!" Ethan said. The bike then rested on the ground again and he took off with her. After a while, Naomi felt the bike stop. She slowly lifted her head and saw that they were at her house. Ethan got off the bike that took her hand, helping her off. Naomi looked at him, he was still holding her hand. "How'd you know where I lived?" She asked. "Are you kidding?" He said.
"Superhero's know everything." He said with a tone of laughter in his voice.
"Are you going to be OK?" He asked, his tone serious.
"Yeah....You better get back to your friends." She said. Ethan nodded and slowly let go of her hand. He made his way back to his bike.
"Wait." Naomi said. He turned to look at her. "Sorry for hitting you yesterday, and thanks for saving me." She said. Ethan was glad he had the helmet on, a superhero blushing like a tomato wasn't a very brave guy thing to do. "No problem." He said. He got on the bike and left. Naomi watched him go.
Conner managed to keep the drones away, while Kira took on Elsa.
"Yellow ranger, give up." Elsa snarled as she tried to roundhouse kick Kira. Kira blocked the kick easily and responded with one of her own.
"How bout you shut up and leave us alone!" Kira retorted. Elsa laughed and pushed her out of the way and blasted the drones and Conner. Kira watched in horror as he went down hard. She raised her leg and slammed it into Elsa's stomach, and sending her reeling backwards.
"This isn't over!" Elsa screamed, before taking the drones and her away. Kira powered down and ran to Connor's side. He had powered down as well. He seemed like he was unconscious. "Connor, baby, oh god, wake up!" She said fretfully. "Baby?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow and smirking, his eyes still closed. Kira glared at him. She stood up.
"Well now that we know you're perfectly fine." She spat kicking him in the side lightly. He groaned and rolled over. Smiling he pushed himself up. Kira continued to glare at him. He approached her, grinning like an idiot. Kira looked at him and as he went to grab her shoulders, she jumped out of the way and began to run through the forest. Just as he was about to go after her, Ethan roared in on his bike. "Everything OK?" He asked. Connor nodded. "Yeah, Naomi's all right?" He asked. Ethan nodded.
"Just a sprained ankle. Where's Kira?" He asked. Connor simply grinned. Ethan rolled his eyes behind his helmet.
"See ya." He said as he rode away. Connor took off running in the direction that Kira went. He soon caught up to her by the lake and grabbed her. Kira laughed, but the two soon lost their footing and fell in. Kira's head popped up a few seconds later, still laughing.
"That was mean Conner!" She scolded. However, there was no response. She turned around and looked around the surface for him.
"Conner? Ok this so isn't funny anymore!" She said, concern filling her voice. Then it dawned on her. 'Conner can't swim!' She dove under the water and opened her eyes. The water wasn't that deep, but she could see Conner struggling to get back to the surface. She resurfaced, took a breath and dove back under. Swimming as fast as she possibly could, she managed to get over to him and wrapped her arms under his and pulled him towards the surface. Connor coughed and sputtered as they reached the surface. "You OK?" She asked. "Yeah." He panted. Kira sidestroked over to the side of the lake, pulling him over so he could hold on to the land. She pulled herself out and helped him out. She looked at him.
"OK, one of these days, I am so going to teach you how to swim." She sighed. Connor looked at her. "Sorry." He said. Kira shook her head dismissively. "It's OK." She said. Connor pulled her close, putting his arm around her shoulders. Kira rested her head on his arm. He smiled contently. The sun began to set in the distance and the couple watched peacefully in each other's embrace.
"Alright, so you're coming over right?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yeah defanility. Can we stop at my place first? I need to grab something." She said. Conner nodded and drove in the direction of her house. He pulled into the driveway and pulled the keys from the ignition.
