-1Sofia started to glow as she showed that she could do exactly what Siena had done, only with more finesse. Sofia's body seemed to fall under a spell as she went into her astral form.

"See," She said as she floated along Siena. Siena's expressed turned around into complete awe. She clasped her hands together, "Can you then help me go back? I'll do anything."

Those were the precious words that Sofia had waited so patiently to hear.

Meanwhile Karone felt like she was two steps behind, which was really starting to tick her off. She crossed her arms over her chest, in an annoyed manner.

"You done yet playing games?" Snapping at Sofia whose only response was a smirk at Karone.

Siena and Sofia touched hands and Siena became calm and less disoriented. She slowly flowed down back into her body. Karone was there by her side to help her up, arm outstretched.

"Thanks but I am glad you sent her." She told Karone.

"I didn't. But just because you came through with luck once doesn't mean it'll happen again. You need to be taught how to control this power."

Siena just sighed in defeat but Karone gave her a hug, "it won't be that hard, I promise.

"So, who did send you?" Siena and Karone now looked at the teen soaked with rage. Sofia transformed into her usual outfit, cased in a black uniform outlined at the cuffs with yellow. Her blaster at her hip. She swiftly brought it up, holding it level to both females.

Shocked at the sight of a gun, which she knew could cause damage, Siena gave a yelp, "That's no parlor trick, is it?" The fear settling like a coat over her once more. Karone shook her head as she pushed Siena behind her.

"No," then she settled her attention on the engaging threat. Karone brought her hands, palms up, in front of her. "Don't. You may be her twin but I am not going to let you take her." Was all Karone said as she shuffled over to Sofia, holding their eye contact.

Sofia cocked the blaster, hearing it charge up. She leveled it at Karone, marking her heart. It took only a nanosecond for Karone to give in to her own instincts. Without any sign of a warning Karone ducked the shot and spun around to hitch-kick Sofia's wrist, knocking the weapon from her grasp. It clattered, with a thud down to the floor. Sofia, startled, snarled as she retaliated back. The two were in a heated battle, Karone easily holding her own while Sofia struggled to keep up. Karone, struck evenly once more as she swept Sofia off her feet, landing her on her back with a sick thud. That's when Karone whipped her head around, her hair getting in her face, "Siena run!" she yelled. The stunned girl who'd not known what to do had stayed to watch the battle, mouth slightly agape and eyes wide in fear, of moving.

Matie had waited long enough. With a last peek outside, by the window he nestled himself in one of the plush chairs, slouching, his hands laced together and behind his back. He'd rested his eyes but never truly taken a nap. His hearing rather alert, his eyes had flown open at the mere sound of another vehicle approaching.

"Probably some more damn rangers," the sarcasm hanging thick in the air he snuggled back and decided to let it go. Only he heard the ramp of his own vehicle being tread upon by someone. A smile passed his face. He sat up as the door opened and he said,

"Hey Le-" He stopped short, "-xi," as the female watching him with contempt was not his best friend. No this girl had the exact same colour hair as him! In amazing-horror, he reached up to touch his own strands of hair. Unsure of what to say, where to begin.

"Matie, right?" The female spoke a little clumsily. Her own hair jus barely reaching her elbows. She stood in the door way, almost angelically, twirling her hair around a finger curiously.

"Yes…why?"

"Because, I need to make sure I take the right boy in." She reached a hand out and a warm glow erupted from her hand in the form of fire. The fireball levitated inches from her hand, casually.

"Now, you're kinda cute." She flung her hair from her face as she strutted forward. Mesmerized he couldn't say a word. Confusion causing him to stay in his seat. Head cocked to the side, he was still attempting to get over the fact that she could very well be his twin. A smile and he was hooked.

"Hello Aphrodite," his words were not in mockery. No, more like in reverence that she was as stunning as the Great Goddess, or even more. His eyes never steering from her form waltzing up to him. She closed her hand into a fist, evaporating the ball of fire. Now mere inches from one another no one spoke. The female, laughed cutely as his hand was in hers and she spun before resting herself on his lap. She leaned up to his ear and said,

"They didn't tell me, you'd be this cute"

Parker pushed from his leaning position. His mind becoming clear as he used his own talent. His creativity and imagination stringing together to wrap around one another, in his head. Erupting forth from his mere thoughts were ghastly beings. They were average height, though beastly looking with their dark, black skin, stringy hair, the color of night and hideous teeth. One look and you knew that they were the very presence of evil henchmen. Their staggering, swaying motions, as they waited for a response from their masters.

"Detain them." Parker's cool, menacing tone came. With a roar the beings struck forth after the two ex rangers.

Andros laughed, despite the situation, "You think they'll stop us?"

"We'll get you for this," Tommy, pointed a finger, at both Parker and Lori. The mere image of his daughter gasping her last breaths against a stronger, more apt opponent sent shivers down his spine. With a quick beat, he was dodging the 'babies' to get to the mother of them. Flipping over them, he landed solidly inches from Lori. His fists shaking with emotion as he let loose his anger at last.

"Poor Tommy Oliver, you must feel like an idiot. You couldn't even protect your own daughter from danger." Lori teased.

"Leave her alone." His jaw once shut clenched from all the tension that he'd gathered deep in his heart.

"No."

Lori let go of Lexi to go after Tommy. Lexi sputtered as her vision was less dim and finally sparks were no longer seen, her vision thankfully had cleared. Taking a small breath felt like fire, but she was glad she could even take the beautiful air in. She tilted her head but thundering pain blasted her and she found herself unable to get up and help. She laid there, hating herself for being so weak.

Tommy and Lori were a pretty good match for one another. His alternate fighting style, comparing to her own street-fighting-ninja practices, kept them both on their toes. Tommy drew back panting from exhaustion. It dawned upon him that this had been her goal but he did not care. Lexi's safety was all that mattered. He turned his head to check on her. Lexi had not moved an inch since the fight had began. The only difference in her appearance, of pale features, was the necklace he had sworn he'd wrapped up for her. Taken aback he never saw the kick coming to his stomach, bowling him over and down to the ground. Which, was enough space for the evil beings to grab ahold of him. Though he fought and shook his shoulders, to be rid of them, it was of no use. They had clung to him and like a leech, refused to let go.

Karone whipped her head around, her hair getting in her face, "Siena run!" she yelled. The stunned girl who'd not known what to do had stayed to watch the battle, mouth slightly agape and eyes wide in fear, of moving.

Sofia aimed true and her gun fired off, the force pushing her back. Karone-
