Chapter 35: Attempting to Capture Him

Josh was on his way to school when he spotted a girl trying to get to school when Derek made her drop her books. "Please, leave me alone, sir. I have no interest in you whatsoever," she snapped.

She had shoulder-length blonde hair, brown eyes, she was wearing white shoes, a knee-length purple skirt, a purple blouse, and she had a purple headband in her hair.

She sighed as she bent down to pick up her books when Derek grabbed a small purple book with a lock on it. It was sure to be a diary. "Come on, give me my diary," she insisted. Derek taunted her with the book.

"Maybe I will and maybe I won't. It'll depend if you'll go out with me or not," he stated.

"I don't even know you. Why would I go out with you?" She snapped.

Josh had enough and walked over to him. "Hey, Derek, didn't you hear the lady?" He demanded. Derek looked at Josh. "She told you no and besides, you're much too old for her," he snapped. Derek glared at him, but he knew better not to strike another Oliver, since when he first attacked the eldest Oliver he almost got kicked out of school. He walked away after throwing the book down. Josh walked over to her.

"Thank you," she sighed.

"No problem," he assured.

He helped her pick up her books. "My name's Josh, Josh Oliver," he informed. The girl smiled and held out her hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Josh. I'm Zelinda," she informed.

His eyes widened, he knew that name. "You're Zhane and Karone's daughter aren't you?" He asked. She nodded with a smile.

"And you must be the son of Tommy Oliver. My uncle has told me a lot about your father's missions," she replied.

"How's my sister?" He asked.

"She's doing very well. Actually, my father is teaching her telekinesis," Zelinda replied.

"Well, we better get to school, or we'll be late."

Zelinda nodded before they went off to school.

Josh learned that Zelinda had the locker right next to his, so he was going to see her every day. However, the question remained was why Zelinda was on Earth in the first place.

During lunch, Zelinda could hear Josh's thoughts and sighed. "My parents sent me here to protect me from Jaya's darkness," she informed.

"I don't get it. You're in high school level. I mean Carlos and Cassie, Andros and Ashley's kids are only in elementary school," he commented.

"Those are their youngest kids. I have a younger brother in that level. Our parents were married not long after high school. I was born a year after my parents got married. Andros and Ashley had their son, Alexander, a year after I was born. Then along came my brother, Kaleb. To cut a long story short, my friends are still on KO-35 and I'm on Earth."

"Why aren't your friends here?"

"I'm the biggest target for Jaya. It's because my mother was evil."

Josh placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, how about I walk you home after school?" He offered.

Zelinda nodded with a smile.

After school, Josh was walking Zelinda home when minions appeared around them. Josh got into fighting stance and had Zelinda stay behind him. "What do you freaks want?" Josh demanded. The minions attacked and he watched as Zelinda fought them off as well. Zelinda flipped a minion over her back and looked at Josh.

"You're not the only one whose parents are Power Rangers," she reminded.

Josh nodded before continuing to fight the minions off. They disappeared, but then Lizard appeared. "Get behind me, Zelinda," he insisted. He pushed the young woman behind him and Lizard was about to grab Josh when a flame went passed his head.

"HOLD ON, JOSH!" Rebecca called.

Their cycles stopped in front of the two teens and the Power Rangers stood in front of them. "Are you guys okay?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah," Josh replied.

"You won't get in the way of my master's plan," Lizard snapped.

"I'm getting tired of your huge mouth, Lizard. Start picking on someone with powers," Brandon snapped.

Then they fought Lizard until he ran away. Rebecca then placed a hand on her brother's shoulder. "Josh, are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied.

"Who is this?" Brock asked.

"This is Zelinda, she's Zhane and Karone's daughter," Josh replied.

"Come on, we better get you both back to dad's lab," Rebecca insisted.

They nodded and Rebecca took Josh onto her cycle while Jack took Zelinda on his cycle.

When they came back to the lab, Kimberly hurried over to her son. "Josh, are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he assured.

After introducing Zelinda to everyone, they had her promise not to reveal the Power Rangers, which was silly, because she had to keep her father's identity secret. Tommy then looked at his son. "At least you brought her back to our house. Rebecca has a mission and that is to protect Zelinda from Jaya or the Dark Wizard. Welcome to our house, Zelinda," Tommy greeted. Zelinda shook his hand, she knew what a handshake was, since her aunt explained before she left for Earth. Then he took her upstairs to her room. Josh watched Zelinda with a daydream look on his face. Rebecca giggled at her brother. She knew all too well, her brother like Zhane and Karone's daughter.
