Disclaimer:
I would just like to say that, unfortunately, I do no own the Power Rangers brand or anything under that title, nor do I own any of the original characters or places. However, I do own the non-original characters and concepts so no stealing! And now onto the story, which I would just like to point out, id my first Power Rangers story, so I apologise now if it is rubbish.
Apart from that, just hope you enjoy it and please review :)
P.S. The chapters are most likely to be short to start off with, as it's to set the pace and its changing scene a lot.
Power Rangers SPD:
The rising of the Raksends Alliance
I'm not an accidentBridge opened his mouth to speak when a flash of light blasted in front of them, causing him and Syd to jump to their feet.
"Go ahead Bridge. Tell her."
"Why are you doing this Janie?" Bridge called out, noticing the girl standing in a tree to their left. Geanie's face fell into a deep scowl.
"The name is Geanie." She blasted at them once more, causing some of the cadets close by to run back into the headquarters. Bridge and Syd stood their ground as Geanie disappeared, seconds later reappearing right in front of them.
"Why are you doing this?" Syd asked and Geanie smirked.
"One, because I can and two because my Master wishes me to."
"And your Master is?"
"I do believe that is for me to know and for you to find out." Z and Sky had now appeared down the steps of the headquarters, either side of Syd and Bridge.
"Why did you disappear Janie?" Geanie scowled at Bridge again.
"I told you my name is Geanie."
"How come you've changed so much? You were so kind and helpful. You used your powers to stand up for the little kids who were bullied, but now you've turned into a bully yourself Janie."
"Have you ever stopped and listened to yourself Bridge? 'You were so kind and helpful' and where did that get me? Half way around the world with fewer friends than I already had. Why should I stand up for the kids who bullied me all my life? You should know how it feels too don't forget, what with us both being 'freaks' and all."
"We're not freaks and you know it." Bridge said sternly.
"Bridge what does she mean, both being freaks?" Syd asked and Bridge looked at her, before looking back at Janie.
"She means our powers."
"She has powers too?" Z asked disbelievingly. Geanie nodded.
"That's right. Except I'm more of a freak than the rest of you."
"And why's that?" Sky asked and Geanie glared.
"Because I'm not an accident. I'm not an experiment gone wrong. I'm evolution!" With that she blasted a large ball of light at the ground, causing it to shudder and shake, dust was kicked up with large amounts of rubble from the paving slabs. Once the dust had settled they noticed Geanie had gone and a plastic square lay on the floor, upon which was a small black Micro File.
"What was all that about Bridge?" Z asked as they dusted themselves off.
"Never mind that now, we better go and give this to Cruger." Sky said, picking up the Micro File and its piece of plastic as they headed back inside.
"We found this Sir, right after the culprit disappeared."
"Janie is not the culprit." His fellow Rangers, Commander Cruger and even Kat looked at Bridge at this point.
"Cadet Carson, would you care to explain yourself?" Bridge looked up from the piece of plastic.
"This plastic is sliced at the one side and not cleanly."
"So?" Z asked dismissively, the same confused reaction showed on all the faces present.
"It means that someone didn't want to leave it there."
"So why did Geanie leave it there then Bridge?" Sky asked superiorly and Bridge shook his head.
"Geanie didn't, Janie did."
"But I thought Geanie and Janie were one and the same." Syd asked.
"So did I until I saw this." Bridge said, placing the piece of plastic onto the centre console. "The slicing is a dead give away. Plus, if you shine light through it," He turned the console light on so that everyone present could see what he meant. In the middle, with light shining through it to make it visible was a small sentence, signed with a set of initials. Z looked over it and read it aloud,
"'Please help me Bridge. JLW.' Who's JLW?" Z asked and Bridge pointed to each letter in turn.
"Janie Louise Winters."
"So what are you saying Bridge?" Z asked exasperatedly and Syd added,
"I'm saying that Geanie and Janie are not the same person, they are two different people."
"Don't get me wrong Bridge, but I didn't see two people standing there." Sky said and Bridge nodded, looking pensive.
"That's the part I haven't worked out yet. I had a dream last night where I heard Janie's voice asking me to help her, that's how I concluded that Geanie was Janie... Well sort of."
"But you said Janie was dead Bridge." Syd said tentatively.
"That's presumed dead." Bridge corrected and a light seemed to flash on in Z's mind.
"Do you reckon Janie's in trouble and called out to you in your dream Bridge? I mean, we know people can trespass into your dreams 'cause of those aliens a while ago."
"That's right." Bridge said, thinking it over, it did make sense.
"What did she mean by the fact that she was 'evolution'?" Syd asked and Bridge sighed.
"When I was little I had a hard time making friends. You all know what it was like, growing up knowing that you're different to all the people around you." His fellow Rangers nodded their agreement and he continued.
"Janie was my first ever friend, we were best friends, we were both picked on by bullies but we stuck together. She used to stick up for me and for little kids who were bullied. We both wanted to join SPD, but Janie's Nan was really sick so she left to look after her, it was just like her because she'd always been so kind and helpful. We kept in touch, she told me she was working as a volunteer as well as looking after her Nan. A month or so later I got a letter from her telling me her Nan had died and that she wanted me to go and visit her because she needed some support because she hadn't seen a truly friendly face since the funeral. It was all planned, but a week before I was due to go she went missing. I hadn't heard from her since, until last night in my dream… Or I guess it was when she jumped us in the market, but of course I didn't know it was her then."
"That is like, the saddest story I've ever heard." Syd said, looking to the others who nodded.
"You still haven't really explained why it's evolution though Bridge." Z remarked and although she regretted saying it at first and Syd had scowled at her Bridge continued to explain.
"Well like I said, Janie has powers. It was another of the thing's that made Geanie seem so familiar to me because Janie can control and manipulate light itself. But of course, we got our powers from our parents and the exposure they had to the powers in the Morphers. Janie's parents weren't involved in SPD, her mother was a nurse and her father was a fire fighter. Anyway, Janie has had her powers since she was born. Evolution can happen when a random genetic mutation that benefits a life form is passed on, thereby evolving the species. Janie has different genetic mutations that give her her powers, whereas ours are the result of an experiment, hers are natural, they just happened, that's why she said she was more of a freak than the rest of us."
"Because she's the first ever human to have special powers of her own accord, because you can say our abilities are kind of, manmade?" Sky suggested and Bridge nodded.
"Wow." Was all Syd was able to muster.
"What did you mean her parents were a nurse and a fire fighter?" Z asked, even though she had guessed she didn't want to know.
"They died. Janie's dad died when she was ten, rescuing people from a burning school. He got all the children out, but as he was running out the roof collapsed. He got the medal of valour, for his bravery, Janie collected it for him and she always wore it because it is virtually the last thing she has to remind her of him apart from a few photos. Her mother died a couple of years later; she had collected Janie from school one night. There was a big storm and a crash of lightning hit a tree. It startled Janie's mom and she swerved off the road into a small wood and crashed into a tree. She and Janie were taken to hospital but her mom died of her injuries, Janie survived, but she was an orphan by then. I went to both funerals with her and she came to live with us for a few years, before her Nan got poorly. Janie was so shaken, I talked to her about it once and she said it was her fault, of course I thought it was just survivor's guilt, but Janie told me she had sensed the lightning coming and had deflected it away from the car because it was going to hit them, but she accidentally sent it into the tree. She vowed to never again use her powers and she didn't to my knowledge, until now."
Syd gaped as everyone else stood enraptured. Bridge sighed, once again looking thoughtful, but this time he looked worried as well, and he voiced what was troubling him,
"What I want to know is what could have made her break her vow and why she stopped wearing that medal of valour because I didn't see it on her either of the times we've fought her."
Dun dun duuuun! So Janie has powers and is a poor little orphan girl. I just hope that some of you readers review because I'm worried she sounds a bit mary-sueish at the moment. She is by no means perfect in my head, but I'm worried that hasn't come across too well because of all the stuff I was trying to cram in there.
But anyway, what would make Janie break her vow? And why isn't she wearing her father's medal of valour? Stay tuned to find out!
