CHAPTER SEVEN
"Lord Zedd, the man that's always attacking this great city of ours, needed an heir to his throne. At this time mom and dad were trying to have more kids of their own. Mom and dad decided to take a cruise vacation to the pocono Islands. One night mom and dad were in the club enjoying a night of dancing. Lord Zedd was in his human form watching mom from afar. He approched her, but mom threw off his advances. Well as you can imagine Lord Zedd wasn't having that. Lord Zedd approached mom one last time, and just like last time she ignored his advances. Mom went and found dad where he took mom back to their room. After dad made sure mom was settled in for the night he headed to the casino. An hour later dad arrived back at the room only to see Lord Zedd vanish. Dad went into the room and saw signs that mom had been raped. Not long afterwards mom discovered she was pregnet with Tommy and I. Mom and dad automatically thought dad was the father due to the fact that on the day of the rape, they spent the afternoon together.
When Tommy and I were ten, I began to grow in power. One night dad took mom, Tommy, and I out to dinner. On the way to the restaurant I began to feel sick, so I asked dad to pull over. When I got out, I walked twenty feet from the car and behind a bush. I didn't realize mom had followed me until it was to late. Electricity began running all over my body before a bolt of lightning shot from my hand and hit mom. She didn't make it. By this time Tom and dad arrived. When the police arrived dad told them mom was shot so that the MC wouldn't come after him, Tommy, or me. Not long after that, dad sent me away to an orphanage where I later wound up in a foster home. It was there, in NYC, that I met Rocky. I came to Angel Grove a year ago." Michael finished, tears streaming down his eyes.
"I've, um, got to go." David stammered as he got up from the table.
"David listen, it was accident. I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone." Michael said.
"I have one question to ask and that's how in the world do you know this?" David asked.
"Lord Zedd told me." Michael answered. David just stared at his brother and headed out the back door. The feelings of hatered and jealousy stronger than ever. I'll make him pay for this and for what he did to all of us. The question is how?" David thought. Then it hit him. "Now to put it in action. That freak is going to pay and I don't care if he is my brother." David thought out loud, a sadistic smile on his face, as he reached his car.
"That went well" Tommy said aloud.
"Shut up Tom." Michael responded and headed to the living room with Tommy right on his heels.
"Hey! why don't we put in a movie." Tommy suggested.
"Okay" Micheal said knowing this was Tommys way of saying sorry and trying to make him feel better, but all Micheal wanted to do was lock himself in his room with a bottle of southern comfort. instead he decided to take the bait besides Micheal didn't feel like dealing with the fight that was sure to ensue if he did lock himself in his room. Later while Tommy and Michael were putting the dinner dishes away the door bell rung.
"I've got it." Michael said putting the dish he had in his hand away.
"Coming" Michael yelled. When Michael opened the door his face showed the surprise he felt at seeing the person on the other end.
"Come on in David" Michael said stepping aside.
"Thanks" David stated.
"Who is it?" Tommy asked stepping into the room.
"Hi" David said.
"Hi" Tommy replied.
"Can we sit down and talk?" David asked.
"Sure"Michael said and lead the way into the living room.
"Look, I just want to sit that I'm sorry for the way that I acted earlier." David stated.
"Don't sweat it" Tommy responded.
"Thanks" David repiled. Tommy,Michael,and David spent the next thirty minutes getting to know one another.
"Do you mind If I use your bathroom?" David inquired.
"Sure, it's the second door on your left." Tommy answered.
"Thanks" David said and headed in that direction. When he came back Tommy was gone.
"Where's Tommy?" David asked.
"He went to his room to get something." Michael answered. Just then David pulled a gun on Michael.
"If you scream I'll blow you away." David stated the anger evident in his voice. Michaels face instantly went pale.
"You killed mom,You robbed me of her. Because of you I'll never have a family. It wasn't enouh that you killed mom you had to have dad too." David said his voice cold and void of emotion.
"David I know how you feel,but you're not thinking straight. Give me the gun and lets talk about it. I didn't kill dad, he was shot remember?" Michael said trying to reason with David.
"Shut up." David yelled. With the sound of David yelling Tommy came bounding down the stairs to see David holding a gun on Michael.
"David, what ever it is we can talk it out. Come on give me the gun." Tommy pleaded.
"Shut up" David yelled.
"Look David I'm sorry if I caused you any pain. What happened to mom was an accident. Listen to me David,give me the gun." Michael pleaded.
"I told you to shut up." David responded and pulled the trigger. the bullet hit Michael square in the chest knocking him and Tommy out. Kat pulled up to Michaels house and saw someone wave a gun around. The next thing Kat hears is a gun shot rippling the air. Not long afterwards Kim pulls up.
"What's wrong Kat?" Kim asked looking at Kats face which was very pale.
"Um, I saw, I saw someone wave a gun and then I heard a gun shot." Kat answered the pink ranger.
"We got to get into the house and fast." Kim replied. Kim and Kat began to make their way to the house when the arrived they found the door unlocked. Kim and Kat looked at each other and then went in. What greeted Kat and Kim made the girls breath catch in their throat. Michael was slumped over on the couch with a gun shot wound to the chest and a pool of blood around him. Tommy was out cold on the floor. David was in a corner rocking back and forth with the gun still in his hand. Kat went over and placed her hands over David's.
"Let me have the gun now." Kat spoke gently.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I just wanted..." David couldn't finish his sentence, he handed the gun to Kat and began to sob. Kat went to check on Tommy and Michael giving David his space.
"Mikie?" Kat spoke.
"Kitty-Kat? Don't worry, I'm fine. My healing abilities have already begun to kick in, see?" Michael stated and sat up to prove his point only to fall back again due to dizziness.
"Maybe I'll just lay here for a little while longer." Michael decided.
"Kim, how's Tommy?" Kat asked.
"He's going to be okay. How's Michael?" Kim answered with tears in her eyes.
"He's going to make it," Kat replied.
"I guess we better get to cleaning up than huh?" Kim stated.
"Yeah" Kat agreed getting to her feet.
"David, why don't you help me and Kim clean up." Kat suggested putting her hand on Davids shoulder snapping David out of his trance.
"What? Oh, ok." David responded and got to his feet. Afterwards Kim and Kat checked on Michael and Tommy. Tommy was up and by Michael's side.
"How's he doing?" Kat asked.
"He'll make it." Tommy answered scowling at David.
"I'm glad, I better go. I'm so sorry, please tell Michael that for me. David said walking out. Not knowing if he'll ever be back or what was in store for him in the future. Not long after David left Kat, Tommy, and Kim saw a cop car with lights flashing pull into the drive way.
"Great, just what we needed." Tommy spoke annoyed. Moments later the door bell rang.
"Can I help you officers?" Tommy asked stepping outside.
"Yes, I'm Officer Young and this is Officer Summers. We got a report of a gun shot, is everything alright?" Officer Young spoke.
"Yes officers, everything is alright. Sorry to have wasted your time." Tommy answered.
"Alright then. We'll just be on our way. Sorry to have bothered you." Officer Young said and with that the two officers walked back to their car. Tommy walked back into the house and found Michael sitting up.
"Lets get you to Billy." Tommy said in his brotherly voice. Tommy than contacted Billy.
"Billy, this is Tommy." Tommy spoke into his communicator.
"Billy here, go ahead Tommy." Billy responded.
"Michael has been shot. Can you meet us at the command center?" Tommy inquired.
"Of course. See you there." Billy answered.
"Thanks" Tommy said signing off. Tommy, Kim, and Kat helped Michael up before teleporting.
THE COMMAND CENTER
"Well?" Kat asked when Billy put the scanner away.
"He's fine. A little weak, but concidering what he just went through, I'd say that's to be expected.
"Thanks man." Tommy said putting his hand on Billys shoulder.
"Yeah thanks Billy." Kat said still holding Michael's hand.
"Don't mention it." Billy responded.
"Can I go home now?" Michael asked.
"Sure." Billy answered. With that they teleported out.
"You sure you're going to be okay?" Kat asked.
"yes,just a little sore. Thanks for here." Michael said the fatigue he felt making itself known through his voice.
"Mikie,I love you. Now you need to go and rest. I'll have somone bring the work you miss by tomorrow afternoon." Kat said and with that Kat kissed Michael and left.
THE NEXT DAY
THE OLIVER HOME
Michael is sitting on the couch watching TV when the door bell rings.
"Comeing" Michael yelled. When Michael opened the door he wasn't expecting to see who he saw on the other end.
"You have a lot of nerve to show your face here David." Michael spat.
"Look, I just came by to say I'm sorry and to drop off your work." David answered and handed Michael the work.
"Thanks" Michael replied taking the work and went to close the door but David put his foot out to stop it from closing.
"Can I come in? please." David asked.
"Sure" Michael agreed for no other reason than to get rid of David. Michael stepped aside and allowed David entry.
"I just wanted to see how you were feeling?" David inquired.
"Physicaly I'm fine, but I don't know about emotionly. You did shot me." Michael responded.
"Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for hurting you. I hope one day you'll forgive me." David spoke.
" David you're my brother and that means somthing to me. As far as forgiveness goes, we'll see. Now if you'll excuse me I better get started on this work." Michael replied. David took the hint and said good-bye. David walked away feeling very hopeful about the what the future held. David was so preoccupied with his own thoughts that he didn't see the blue nove pull away from the curb accross the street. The next day Michael was able to return to school. So all was well in the lives of the Power Rangers,at least for now.
