A/N- Hey everyone! This chapter took a while to post and I'm sorry! I still don't know if people are reading this or not, but if you do read it, please review and let me know what you think! So here it is, Chapter 6!
Zimitria's Gift to the Rangers
July 4th
For the past few weeks, Zimitria had not attacked the rangers with any major monsters- only a few Plengua attacks here and there. So now it's July 4th and everyone is getting ready for a party at the Dojo.
"Okay, don't you guys think it's just a little weird that we haven't really heard from Zimitria in a few weeks?" Luke question the other rangers as they all set up chairs and such.
"Yeah, I don't want to know what she has in store for us," Jase added.
The girls had gone to another part of the Dojo to set up stuff and to talk.
"So is Aaron coming?" Crys asked her sister.
"Why does it matter, I mean we are JUST friends, nothing more," Max answered, and added, "and I'm not sure if he's coming."
"I cannot wait until you guys see the gifts I got you, you are going to love them!" Natalie said excitedly.
With the parents…
"Wait, how can you think that? Just because the kids aren't around when the rangers are doesn't mean anything…does it?" Angela asked Jason.
"Well, considering the kids don't like to talk about the rangers, and the fact that they keep disappearing kinda tells ya that they maybe rangers." Jason replied.
"Jason's right, I mean just look at the facts." Rocky said.
"Well, I don't believe it one bit," Billy replied.
"Yeah, but if they are rangers, that's pretty cool for them…. I remember the good old days….," Zack answered, looking off dreamily.
"I guess we'll find out sooner or later…" Tanya added.
Later that day, at the party…
"Wow, Uncle Adam is actually playing the CD's I gave him! Cool!" Max said while standing with the rangers.
"So, are you three ready for your birthday tomorrow?" Luke asked the triplets.
"Yeah, we are SO ready! I cannot wait!" Crys answered while bouncing like a ball of energy.
It was now 5:45 pm and the party had started around 5. The party was like a big block party, so kids from Angle Grove High were also there. Aaron had just shown up too.
"Hey Max!" Aaron called excitedly as he jogged over to the group.
"Oh, hey Aaron." Max added while returning his hug.
"Oh, hey guys," Aaron added, referring to the other rangers. Mumbles of "hi", "hey", and "oh great" could be heard from the teens.
"Um, I'm gonna go….go….um….go get a drink…be back…" Kyle said while retreating from the scene of Max and Aaron. On his way to getting a drink, Kyle's communicator went off. He went into a secluded spot and answered it.
"Come in Zordon," Kyle said monotonely into the watch.
"KYLE, WE ARE DECTING TRACES OF PLENGUAS IN THE AREA. THEY HAVE NOT ATTACKED YET, BUT WE ARE CERTAINT THAT THEY WILL. PLEASE ALERT THE OTHER RANGERS AND MORPH TO BE PREPARED. IF THE LEAST YOU DO IS MORPH INTO YOUR NINJA SUITS, THAT IS FINE. MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU." Zordon answered. (A/n- let's say that the rangers have ninja outfits like their parents did)
Kyle then went to tell the others, and leaving Crys and Natalie to tell Max. The gang went off to a secret spot to morph.
"It's Morphin' Time!" the rangers yelled together.
"The Eagle" started Kyle, who morphed in a flash of white.
"The Ape" yelled Jason followed by a flash of red.
"The Elephant" announced Luke followed by a flash of blue.
"The Giraffe" called Jeremy then being consumed by a flash of black.
"The Lion" screamed Trevor followed by a flash of green.
"The Panther" cried Natalie covered by a flash of purple.
"The Dolphin" yelled Crystal mophing in a flash of yellow.
"The Hawk" finished Maxine disappearing in a flash of pink.
When the rangers reached the park, there was absolutley no sign of plengas anywhere.
"OK, this is just great. We left the food when there is no one here!" Trever shouted, sounding annoyed and sarcastic at the same time.
But, he couldn't have jinxed them more! As soon as these words left his mouth, a huge pack of plenga's appeared and began attacking.
At the Party…
"Whoa! Where did they go!" Asked a confused Aaron who had just come back with food for himself. "Hi Mrs. Park, have you seen the guys? I went away for a minute and when I got back, they were gone." Aaron asked Tanya.
"No, sorry, but I haven't seen them since they started setting up earlier," Tanya replied. Then she went over to the other parents to tell them that the kids were gone again.
"Well maybe they are playing hide and go seek," Rocky replied in a very serious tone.
"Rocky, do you honestly think that 14 and 15 year olds would be playing that game?" Emily responded.
"Yes," was all Rocky said back and the other rangers just looked sorry for Aisha.
The Park….
The rangers were doing pretty well, but they were having a few problems. Eventually, the plengas regrouped and the monster, a giant firework who called himself 'Firecheif', appeared and turned to attack the party.
"Uh oh guys! That thing is heading towards the party!" Crys shouted while stating the obvious.
"Remember how Alpha and Zordon had mentioned weapons for us one time? Well do you think we could get those anytime soon?" Jeremy questioned.
"Let's give it a try," Jase answered.
At the Command Center…
"Zordon! That thing is way to strong! We really need some help!" Trevor quickly said once the rangers had appeared in the command center.
"I HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED. KYLE, AS WHITE RANGER, YOU HOLD THE POWER OF THE EAGLE SABRE. JASON, AS RED RANGER, YOU HOLD THE POWER OF THE APE SWORD. LUKE, AS BLUE RANGER, YOU HAVE THE ELEPHANT SPEARS. JEREMY, AS BLACK RANGER, YOU POSESS THE GIRAFFE AXE. TREVOR, AS GREEN RANGER, YOU CONTROL THE LION PAWS. NATALIE, AS PURPLE RANGER, YOU COMMAND THE PANTHER WHIP. CRYSTAL, AS YELLOW RANGER, YOU OCCUPY THE DOLPHIN DAGGERS. FINALLY, MAX, AS PNK RANGER, YOU HOLD THE POWER OF THE HAWK BOW AND ARROW. USE THESE WEAPONS TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU NEED THEM. GOOD LUCK AND CONTINUE IN YOUR FIGHT RANGERS!" Zordon called as each weapon appeared for the rangers.
Back in the Park
The rangers teleported back to the park to continue the fight. Here, they ended up chasing the "Fire Chief" to the party. At the party, the monster began scaring the partiers.
"This is where you stop chief!" Natalie yelled once they had caught up to the monster.
"Everyone! Remain calm! Please just vacate the area!" Luke called as he began ushering people out of the area.
"Ok, now I really am starting to worry about the kids!" Kim stated as they parents also helped get people out of the area.
"Yeah, me too! I'm really wondering where they went!" Aisha replied.
"Well this could be the proof that our kids are rangers!" Adam added.
By now, all of the people had fled from the party. The parents were the last ones to leave, and they only left once the rangers yelled for them to get outta there. The rangers had defeated the monster on the ground, but then the disc from space came again and the monster grew. The rangers knew to call on their zords.
"The White Eagle!" Kyle started.
"The Red Ape!" Jase yelled next.
"The Blue Elephant!" Luke followed.
"The Black Giraffe" called Jeremy.
"The Green Lion" screamed Trevor.
"The Purple Panther" cried Natalie.
"The Yellow Dolphin" yelled Crystal.
"The Pink Hawk" finished Maxine.
The zords alone were not enough, so they pulled them all together and called upon the Morphin' Lightning Sword. With one swift motion, the monster was gone, but that was only after many hits received by the rangers.
At the Party
Once the fight was over, the Angle Grove citizens returned to the party. The rangers decided to go in uniform to assure everyone not to worry.
"Could we please have your attention?" Max yelled, instantly quieting the whole party.
"We just want everyone to know that you are safe now and you should not worry. Everything is OK!" Jase said.
And with that said, the rangers teleported away. Only moments later, the teens reappeared as well, normal teens. The party went along for a few minutes until Kat saw the teens talking.
"There you are!" Kat started.
"We have been looking all over for you guys!" Jason added.
"There was a monster that just attacked, and we couldn't figure out where you went!" Aisha quickly said.
"We were so worried!" Adam said.
"So, do you guys have and explanation?" Kim challenged.
The teens all just stared at the parents, not wanting to speak for fear of clashing stories again.
"That's what I figured," Kim answered.
"Mom, we were just in the park, at the playground, that's all." Crys replied.
"Yeah, Aunt Kim, we had the Frisbee, and we were just going to throw it around," Trevor added.
"All right, you will not be punished this time, but please, no more running off, OK?" Angela peaded.
The teens nodded and went back to the party.
A few hours later (around 10:30 PM)
"So Max, where's Aaron?" Luke questioned.
"I have no idea to be honest. I haven't seen him since before we left for the fight," Max replied, not really sounding upset.
"Oh, ok then." Trevor said while walking over to the food table.
"Hey guys! The fireworks are gonna start at like 10:45, or atleast that's what Aunt Emily told me," Natalie said while returning to the group from the parents.
Just then, Adam changed songs on the cd player and put on a slow song. The parents all started dancing with their spouses, and the teens were just laughing at them, for who knows why. At that moment, Jeremy went around and took pictures of all the adults dancing so that the teens could laugh again later.
"So Crys, do you wanna….," Trevor started but couldn't seem to get the last word out.
"Dance? Sure." Crys replied laughing a little at Trevor's shyness.
At the same point, Natalie was asked to dance by Jase and, Luke and Jeremy were dancing with two girls that they knew from school. This left Kyle and Max alone. The only problem is that Kyle is still a little upset from the whole Aaron thing. Little did they know that Aaron was dancing with another girl, but neither really cared.
"I wish Kyle would just get it over with and ask my sister to dance!" Crys whispered to Trevor.
"Yeah, well when you like someone, it's kinda hard to get the words to come out," Trevor admitted, sympathizing with Kyle.
"Kyle should just ask her to dance, don't you think?" Natalie asked Jase.
"Yeah, it would be nice to finally see them together," Jase replied.
The song was about half over and Kyle still hadn't asked Max to dance. Then, when Kyle was just about to ask her, the first firework went off. The group just headed towards the park where they would have a great view.
The next day
The Oliver triplets had just woke up and ready, and were heading to their mothers studio. When they got there, the other rangers were already there, but the parents (all except for Kat and Kim) were gone.
"Happy Birthday!" was shouted when they entered.
The day was spent in the park with just the kids hanging out. Still, the parents were no where to be found, but then again, none of them checked the dojo. The teens were finally contacted by their parents, and Cys, Max, and Jase were sent home to change in order to get ready to go out to dinner. The other teens scrambled to go to the dojo where a surprise party was set up. The teens went to the dojo where they thought they were just picking up their dad for dinner. When they arrived, they were very surprised! The party was in full swing now and the teens were just all having a great time. They all had a bad feeling in their stomachs though, like something was going to go wrong.
Sure enough, one of the present disappeared. Moments later, it reappeared with arms, legs, and a face. The teens managed to sneak away, morph, fight (with help from each other. They were finally getting the hang of the teamwork fighting,) and defeat the deadly CD without having their parents realize they were gone. When the teens came back to the party, they thought their parents didn't know they were gone, but the parents were catching on to their secret.
"Open your presents! NOW!" little Brad Oliver shouted to his older siblings.
Once the presents were opened, the teens got time to talk with each other.
"My lease favorite gift had to be the one from Zimitria," Crys said, laughing a little at the sound of what she said.
"Yeah, that's a definite," Max replied as she hooked as anklet around her ankle. The only thing is that no one knew who the anklet was from…
The tripplets received great gifts from all the other rangers, and all the parents. As one of the gifts from the parents, each ranger (yes, even if it wasn't their birthday) got a bandanna in their color. It seemed as if our ex-rangers were quite smart. As the party was winding to a close, Max noticed something weird. Not only was Kyle still acting weird around her, but she didn't get a gift from him. She thought it was maybe because he was mad at her or something, but in truth, he wanted to give it to her without drawing a lot of attention to it.
"Hey Max, can I talk to you for a second?" Kyle asked Max as the rangers were all heading home. The teens were walking a little behind their parents.
"Yeah, sure," Max replied.
"Well, here, this is for you. Sorry I didn't give it to you earlier, but I didn't want everyone to make a big scene or anything," Kyle said as he handed a box to Max. She opened it, and inside was a silver necklace with 5 light pink hearts on it.
"Oh wow! This is so cute! Thank you so much!" Max gushed and she surprised Kyle by hugging him and kissing him on the cheek. They two teens then hurried up to catch up with the others. (A/N- No, sorry, Kyle didn't actually spend that much money on the necklace. Yes it was a nice necklace, but it wasn't more than like $25 or so.) The other rangers knew what Kyle had done, but decided to act like they knew nothing. On the walk home, the rangers, both old and new, discussed the attack that happened at the party and what plans for the next day. The new rangers were all expecting an attack from Zimitria, but they opted to not tell their parents that.
In space with Zimitria
"So now I know that the yellow and the green are close, the red and the purple are also close. Still, that white one looks to protect the pink! The pink, yellow, and red are siblings, and the blue and black have two friends outside the rangers. They are all very close though so I must find a way to separate them all….the pink one, Max, she kept the anklet that I sent her. That will be where I start! Just wait until they see what happens with that present!" Zimitria told her plenga's, other monsters, and allies.
July 10th, at the park
The teens were just playing Frisbee and having a great time when something very odd happened. The sky suddenly went from being a brilliant, clear blue sky to a very cloudy gray sky. The air became cool and the wind picked up. No one noticed this, but Max's anklet also began glowing a soft gold color. The anklets evil powers hadn't started affecting her yet, but it was only a matter of time. Their parents, (who were right across the street) noticed this too and began to worry. The last time something like this happened, a great force came to try to take over the world. The teens were a little worried, so they began hurrying over to their parents. On the way over, Plenga's appeared and surrounded the rangers.
"Oh great, just what we need!" Trevor shouted.
"There's no time to morph, we just have to deal!" Kyle called to the rangers.
"Hey wait! Why aren't they attacking!" Crys questioned as the rangers watched the Plenga's just circle the rangers. The next thing they know, their parents are running towards them and all they can hear is Max scream. They turn and see her disappear in a flash of light with all of the Plenga's. Their parents look shocked beyond belief. Kim and Tommy look the most worried though. The rangers go over to their parents and they all(rangers old and new) teleport to the command center.
The Command Center
"RANGERS IT IS GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN." Zordon says as the ex-rangers appear right in front of him.
"Zordon, what's going on? Where is Max?" Kim asks Zordon in a shaky voice.
"RANGERS, NOW IS WHEN WE NEED THE FORCE TO COMBINE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE POWERFUL TEAM. YES, YOUR OLD POWERS MAY BE GONE, BUT NEW POWERS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU SAVE MAXINE." Zordon replied not really answering Kim's question. "TOMMY, KIMBERLY, TANYA, ADAM, AND BILLY- YOU ARE TO USE NEW FORMS OF THE OLD TURBO POWER, EACH IN YOUR RESPECTIVE COLOR (Tommy in red, Kim in pink, Tanya in yellow, Adam in green and Billy in Blue). ROCKY, AISHA, KAT, JASON, ZACK, ANGELA, AND EMILY- YOU ARE TO USE A NEW BRANCH OF THE ZEO POWERS IN YOUR RESPECTIVE COLORS. (Rocky blue, Aisha yellow, Kat pink, Jason red, Zack black, Angela green, and Emily purple) (A/N- yes, I added colors, just g with it…) YOU WILL TEAM UP WITH THE NEW RANGERS TO HELP GET MAXINE BACK." Zordon finished as the rangers received morphers.
A/N- well I hope you liked it! If I get some reviews, I'll write another chapter!
