Chapter 5: Revelations

Selena made into the palace and she went to find Lord Dorjan's study to find his plans on what he planned to do with her brother and sister. She walked by a room and she stopped. "I want those children," Lord Dorjan snapped.

"What's with wanting these children?" A person asked.

"The Children of the Sun are powerful. Just like how Astronema was just as powerful."

"Then why not get her back? Astronema Princess of Darkness?"

"You idiot. We can't. Her powers are completely gone. We need to train another one to be just like her."

"Then we take one of them. Leave the other one behind like before."

"NO! You moron! That's the mistake that Darkonda made when he took that child."

Selena was listening in shock. These are the same people that helped Dark Specter plot to kidnap her aunt twenty-eight years ago. She bit her lip and strained to listen again. "We take one child and destroy the other," Lord Dorjan hissed.

"Why take a young child? Why not take one of the Children of the Moon?" The person asked.

"Because, they are already Rangers and were trained to be good. Once they are trained to be good, we can't turn them evil," Lord Dorjan replied.

The group stayed silent for a minute. Selena felt her heart hammering against her chest. "They're going to take either Apollo and Solana and then they're going to kill the other? I can't let that happen. The news of father's death will crush mom as it is. She'll just die if anything happened to Apollo and Solana," she pondered. Selena bit her lip and she played with the locket around her neck. She lowered her head and a tear fell down her face as she thought about her father again. The thought of the death they gave him scared her and made her want to break down into tears. However, Selena just wiped the tears she had on her face away and stood strong. She was going to protect her brother and sister from Lord Dorjan if that was the last thing she did.

Selena went down the hall and she pulled out her blaster when she realized she was being followed. She spun around with her blaster in hand. Lord Dorjan stood before her. "Well, isn't this a nice surprise," he sneered. He grabbed Selena's wrist, ripped off her hood, and sneered. "I thought you would've turned around and told your mommy what happened to your father," he laughed. Selena glared at him.

"You monster! You killed my father. I will be happy to kill you," she hissed.

She kicked Lord Dorjan in the stomach and watched as he stumbled back holding his stomach. Selena's eyes widened when she saw a familiar ring fall on a chain from his neck. "That's my dad's," she whispered. She ripped the ring from his neck, but then she took off running, not caring where she was going.

"GET BACK HERE!" Lord Dorjan shouted.

Selena ran into the thrown room. "LET'S ROCKET!" She shouted. She morphed and did several back flips when Lord Dorjan tried to hit her with his sword. "STAR SLINGER!" She shouted. She spun around and shot at Lord Dorjan with her Star Slinger. Lord Dorjan dodged her blasts and he grabbed her wrist. "LET GO!" She shouted. She kicked him in the stomach and did several back flips away from him again. She jumped into a guarding stance and held her Star Slinger up. "You killed my father!" She snapped.

"It was my pleasure of doing it," Lord Dorjan laughed.

Selena bit her lip with tears falling down her face. "Why? How could you kill him? He had done nothing to you," she snapped.

"He wouldn't give us the answers we needed," Lord Dorjan answered.

She followed him as he circled her. "You're killing my mother now too you know. My mother's dying without him and hearing the news that he's dead will kill her," she hissed.

"Good, then we would just have to worry about you and your stupid siblings," he answered.

"You stay away from my family. You killed the one person that held this family together."

"Aw, like your mother ran away from your father years ago?"

Selena stopped. "What?" She asked. Lord Dorjan laughed.

"Didn't she tell you? That right before your older brother was born she was raped by an old high school love?" He asked.

"You're lying," she snapped.

"It is true. Your mother didn't know whether or not Andreas belonged to your father or to her rapist so she ran away."
"My mother wouldn't run away."

"This time she did."

Selena shook her head. "Sounds familiar…doesn't it Selena?" He asked. Selena shook her head trying to get him out of her head. "Very familiar," he laughed.

"Shut up, you don't know what happened that day. How could you possibly know what happened?" she asked.

"I can read your mind. I know all your secrets the good and the bad. But I would much rather like to look at your dark past."

Selena felt a cold shiver go up her back and she was grabbed from both sides. "LET GO!" She screamed. She struggled against Lord Dorjan's guards.

"Like mother like daughter, Selena. A man who's been obsessed with you for years comes for you and when you turn him down he attacks you? Your mother was attacked in her own dress shop. You were attacked in your own home. Home alone, no one else there. Mother gone off with your younger siblings to visit some friends. Older siblings out on dates and your brother at the base," he taunted.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" She screamed.

"Coming up from behind and he threatened you that if you wouldn't cooperate he would kill you. So you gave in. Just like your mother."

Selena lowered her head. "Stop, please," she begged.

"A broken spirit being a Power Ranger," he laughed.

Lord Dorjan nodded to his guards and Selena fought against them. "LET ME GO! YOU WON'T WIN DORJAN! I WON'T LET YOU WIN!" She shouted. Lord Dorjan walked over and ripped Selena's morpher off her wrist and took the chain back.

"You won't be needing these," he informed.

The guards then dragged Selena off and Lord Dorjan laughed.

Selena was thrown into her cell. The young woman hid in a corner and tears fell down her face as she buried her head in her arms. "Artemis…I've been captured," she told him telepathically. Then her connection to her brother was cut when they shoved a silver band over her head.

(Megaship)

Artemis was waiting for Selena's transmission when he heard her. "Artemis…I've been captured," he heard. He tried to get a hold of her but the connection was cut.

"NO!" He shouted.
